Chapter 2530: Heaven’s Descent Black Bone! Mining Grandmaster Gu Luo! (1)
“That’s natural,” Gu Luo said with a smile as he observed the buildings ahead. “The items within the trading area are too numerous and varied to be piled up in one place. Of course, there needs to be some sort of screening process to separate lower-grade items from higher-grade ones, making it easier for everyone to pick out treasures.”
“In that case, wouldn’t any treasures have been taken by the Secondary Career Alliance a long time ago?” Wang Teng remarked.
“Heh heh, you’re mistaken,” Gu Luo chuckled, looking at Wang Teng with amusement but withholding further explanation.
“What do you mean?” Wang Teng couldn’t help but be curious when he saw Gu Luo teasing him like this.
“If Brother Wang Teng is willing to plead with me, then I’ll tell you,” Gu Luo said with a smile.
“Tsk!” Wang Teng rolled his eyes, too lazy to bother with him, and turned to Grandmaster Alfred.
“You have no sense of humor,” Gu Luo shook his head. Without waiting for Grandmaster Alfred to speak, he continued meaningfully, “Do you think the Secondary Career Alliance headquarters is more concerned about the fame and influence that the trading area brings or about those treasures?”
Wang Teng suddenly realized that he had been short-sighted. He had been considering things only from his perspective, forgetting that this was the headquarters of the Secondary Career Alliance. How could such a major power be concerned about those treasures?
Compared to treasures, the fame and influence of the trading area were undoubtedly more important.
“Grandmaster Gu Luo is right. The Secondary Career Alliance headquarters has regulations stating that those who appraise treasures cannot privately purchase them and must keep them confidential. If discovered, severe punishment will be meted out by the Alliance headquarters.”
Grandmaster Alfred explained and nodded.
“So those who appraise treasures are usually highly respected individuals, and they must be of at least saint-level status to not be swayed by ordinary treasures.”
“Of course, the Alliance headquarters also provides adequate compensation to these appraisers, enough to satisfy them and prevent any ulterior motives.” “There are indeed many intricacies involved,” Wang Teng sighed in amazement.
“Otherwise, how could this trading event attract the attention of so many secondary professional practitioners and martial experts?” Gu Luo chuckled.
“You’re right,” Wang Teng nodded in agreement. “We haven’t seen any eternal-stage beings along the way. They must all be inside the building.” “Indeed,” Grandmaster Alfred also nodded. “We’ve been delayed for quite some time, and Grandmaster Hua Yuan and the others are probably already inside.” “In that case, let’s hurry. I’m getting impatient,” Wang Teng’s eyes gleamed, and he smiled slightly, leading the way toward the towering building ahead.
As they approached, they realized that what appeared to be three separate buildings were actually interconnected in a peculiar design.
Upon reaching the entrance, the guards did not stop them but simply nodded in greeting and allowed them to enter.
Wang Teng walked into the building with his hands behind his back, taking in the orderly arrangement of stalls, each resembling a chessboard square.
Inside was livelier than outside, with many people gathered around the stalls, haggling and bargaining with relish.
Excitedly, Wang Teng and his companions began to stroll around.
The space here was vast, stretching beyond sight. Despite the dense arrangement of stalls, each was separated by at least four or five meters, making it feel spacious and uncrowded.
“I wonder if they have Cloud Immortal Milk here?”
Wang Teng wandered between the stalls, activating his Real Eye to search. “Is there something you’re looking for, Brother Wang Teng?” Gu Luo asked. “Cloud Immortal Milk!” Wang Teng replied casually.
“Cloud Immortal Milk.” Gu Luo’s eyes lit up. He wasn’t unfamiliar with it. He nodded and said, “Let me help you take note of it.”
“Well then, I appreciate it, Brother Gu Luo.” Wang Teng smiled. Unfortunately, after circling for quite some time, they still hadn’t found the Cloud Immortal Milk, which left Wang Teng feeling extremely frustrated. “Since we couldn’t find it, let’s go check out the second and third floors. There are even more treasures there. It’s not surprising if the first floor doesn’t have something like Cloud Immortal Milk,” Gu Luo suggested.
“Alright,” Wang Teng nodded.
“Not only are there various treasures on the upper floors, but there’s also a place for rock gambling. Many people come here for those magical ores,” Grandmaster Alfred added.
“Rock gambling!” Wang Teng’s eyes lit up. “Let’s go, let’s go up and take a look.” “Are you interested in rock gambling too, Brother Wang Teng?” Gu Luo smiled and asked.
“I’m a little interested,” Wang Teng replied.
“What a coincidence. I’m interested too.” Gu Luo smiled. He was extremely confident. “Why don’t we have another bet?”
“You want to gamble with me?” Wang Teng glanced at him strangely.
“What’s with that look?” Gu Luo asked.
“Nothing, if you want to bet, I’ll accompany you. I’m just curious about how you plan to bet with me?” Wang Teng asked.
“It’s very simple. Let’s see who will open the rock with the highest value. The loser will agree to the winner’s request,” Gu Luo said.
“Brother Gu Luo, you’re persistent,” Wang Teng glanced at him meaningfully. “How about it?” Gu Luo asked with a grin.
“I can agree to that,” Wang Teng chuckled. “I’m just afraid you’ll end up losing to me again, Brother Gu Luo.”
“You’re confident.” Gu Luo burst out laughing. “Hahaha, to be honest, I’m not only a grandmaster alchemist, I’m also a grandmaster mining engineer.”
“Is that so?” Wang Teng looked at him and also laughed, his laughter filled with joy-
