C1738 Ancient Mystical Jade(part I)

As soon as Gu Taixu's words fell, the crowd fell into silence. Those who wanted to leave suddenly halted, wanting to see what kind of deal Gu Taixu would make with the rest of them.

The main event had begun! Upon hearing this, Lin Bai's heart froze. He was very clear that Gu Taixu had persisted all the way until the end of the trade fair before revealing his intentions to the crowd. This meant that what he was planning, was no small matter! However, what Lin Bai could not figure out was what exactly was it that made Gu Taixu value it so highly!

Mountain Master Gu, your Little Fang Mountain is one of the top sects in the hidden world, and your sect's resources are incomparably plentiful. What do you need, you still need to ask us people for it, are you joking?

"That's right, Mountain Master Gu, don't joke around. If you have anything to say, then just say it quickly. Don't waste our time!"

"Don't worry, I won't hold you up for long." Gu Taixu gave a gentle smile and looked around. He then slowly raised an object from his hand and showed it around before speaking slowly, "The item that I, Little Fang, am looking for is the Ancient Mystical Jade! "Fellow Daoist of the ancient Mysterious Jade, please, if you are willing to part with me, my little Fang Shan, then we will reward you handsomely!"

Ancient Profound Jade?! Hearing Gu Taixu's words, Lin Bai immediately thought of the piece of Ancient Mystical Jade that he had obtained from the two dead men, Chen Xuan and Kong Fang. However, that piece of jade looked ordinary and tight, but it was different from the other smithing materials.

According to what Leng Zhan said, there was an enormous secret hidden within this Ancient Profound Jade. If they put it together, they would be able to obtain a strange secret treasure. However, after so many years, there was still no one who had managed to collect all of the ancient profound jades. Could it be that this Gu Taixu wanted to make use of the trade fair to obtain as many ancient profound jades as possible to uncover that so-called secret?!

However, since the secret of the Ancient Mystical Jade was known even to Leng Yanyan, then perhaps the others in the hidden world would also be aware of it. Leng Zhan had also said that all the sects that had collected the ancient Mysterious Jade would keep them hidden in their sects and would not easily show them to others. If Gu Taixu wanted to use this opportunity of the trade fair to collect ancient profound jade, it wouldn't be such a simple matter!

Even if someone really wanted to sell it to Gu Taixu, the price he would have to pay would be shocking!

At this point, Lin Bai suddenly realized that even as he was speaking, Gu Taixu's gaze was still on him.

Could it be that he knew that he had an ancient profound jade here?! Furthermore, he felt that the reason why Chen Xuan and Kong Fang had brought the Ancient Mystical Jade from the Pill Cauldron Sect was likely because they had received an order from Gu Taixu. Otherwise, given how precious the Ancient Mystical Jade was, they would definitely not let it leave the sect.

Could it be that it was because of this that Gu Taixu had been keeping an eye on him all this time?! However, if it was only because of the Ancient Mystical Jade, why would Gu Taixu display such concern over his methods when gambling with the stone, and even probe out what kind of method he used to understand the secret of the ore. Furthermore, if the Ancient Mystical Jade that Chen Xuan and Kong Fang were carrying was something Gu Taixu had asked them to take, then he should've attracted his hostility by killing Chen Xuan and Kong Fang. Why hadn't he shown any hostility?

The more he thought about it, the more perplexed Lin Bai felt. He only felt that the situation was getting increasingly complicated. The only thing he could be sure of was that this Gu Taixu was not simple. He had to leave as soon as possible after the end of the trade fair!

"Mountain Master Gu, so you wanted to understand the secrets within the Ancient Profound Jade. However, I believe you should be very clear about what kind of precious existence the Ancient Profound Jade is! We are very curious, exactly what do you want to exchange for this ancient profound jade?! "

"That's right. Lord Gu Shan, what exactly do you want to exchange with in order to let us know a bit?"

Just like what Lin Bai thought, these hidden world people were extremely clear about the legends surrounding the ancient profound jade. After hearing Gu Taixu's words, they immediately voiced out their suspicions, wanting to know what exactly Gu Taixu wanted to use to exchange for the ancient profound jade.

"As far as I know, in addition to our own small mountain, there should be five other ancient profound jades in the outside world. I am also very clear that all of you are aware of the legends of the Ancient Mystical Jade and how precious it is. Naturally, you will not easily give it up, but rest assured that we, the small mountains, will definitely be able to satisfy you by exchanging it for something from the Ancient Mystical Jade. "

In the blink of an eye, a disciple of the small mountain carried a tray that was covered with a thick brocade. After he placed the tray down, Gu Taixu opened the brocade, looked around, and said slowly: "Our small mountain brought over to exchange with the five Fellow Daoists for the ancient profound jade object, that is the middle grade spirit stone! A mid-grade spirit stone in exchange for an ancient profound jade, this price should be considered reasonable, right? "

As soon as he finished his sentence, the entire venue began to boil with excitement. Everyone was looking in at more than just the arena! On the tray, there were five fist-sized spirit stones. Each of them were as white as ice and flawless. They didn't have the slightest bit of stone, as if they were made of light. Not only that, the moment the spiritual energy was released, it was enough to cause the entire field to melt!

A middle grade spirit stone was definitely a middle grade spirit stone, moreover, it was so huge! Looking at the five Spirit Stones, countless people in the crowd were extremely excited. It had to be said that Gu Taixu's offer was extremely reasonable, because no one knew what secrets were hidden within the ancient profound jade, and no one knew when they would be able to gather them all!

Rather than holding on to the ancient mystical jade, he might as well exchange it for a mid-grade spirit stone to raise his cultivation! Countless people were sighing with regret, they only wished they had the Ancient Mystical Jade in their pockets, unable to agree to an exchange with Gu Taixu.

However, what they were wondering was just what kind of harvest the small mountain had obtained this time. It could actually take out five mid-grade spirit stones at once. This was simply too inconceivable. One had to know that there were only three or four people who managed to cut out so many ores. Furthermore, none of them were as heavy as the ones Gu Taixu took out now.

Even Lin Bai was speechless. Although he had gained a lot just now with the help of the forbidden snake, he couldn't be like Gu Taixu, throwing five pieces of high-grade spirit stones at once!

This Gu Taixu had spent so much, and he was so eager to get the ancient profound jade, what was he trying to do?!
