Chapter 375: Chapter 275: Fire Phoenix: Whoever Gets the Goods Will Die_2

"Junior Brother is too kind," Shangguan Nuan immediately shook her head and said:

"Junior Brother, young and... a late bloomer, is now a hot figure in the Sect.

I’m not even close to matching Junior Brother by a fraction of a percent."

"Senior Sister should not put it like this; I am just a bit more fortunate, how much true strength I have, who in the Sect would not know?" Gu An shook his head as he spoke.

He was at the Golden Core Middle Stage, and he had high Merit.

Naturally, he was criticized by many.

But with the Merit plainly visible, others could not really do much about it.

Nevertheless, making things difficult for him was still possible.

To avoid being more disliked, it was better to remain modest.

Otherwise, it would be inconvenient in many aspects, nor would it be possible to alarm the Merit Hall.

That’s the trouble with petty people.

Problems might not be significant, but they can make life difficult for someone.

Shangguan Nuan didn’t say much else, but instead said, "This time I’m looking for Junior Brother because I’ve heard some news."

Gu An feigned ignorance: "What is it?"

"I heard that someone under Junior Brother’s name has entered the Fire Phoenix Tomb, and has acquired some things. I came this time for one of those things," Shangguan Nuan said while looking at Gu An’s silence, and immediately followed up, "Junior Brother should understand, I have a powerful backer.

Therefore, I get information quickly, if the item is given to us, we can assume the risks.

If it remains with Junior Brother, I wonder if he can bear it?

After all, soon many in the Sect will learn what Junior Brother has acquired, and they will surely come looking.

Junior Brother should consider this carefully."

Gu An pretended to contemplate and finally asked, "Does Senior Sister’s word count? If the item is given to you, will you help conceal it?"

"Of course, at least what we get will be known by everyone; by then, Junior Brother only needs to say he sold it to me, they know whose faction I belong to," Shangguan Nuan declared confidently.

After a moment’s consideration, she added, "Alternatively, Junior Brother could accept my earlier proposal and join us, then Junior Brother would have nothing to worry about.

The one behind me will surely clear any obstacles for Junior Brother."

Gu An hesitated but soon shook his head, "Thank you, Senior Sister, I still do not wish to get too deeply involved.

Besides, what does Senior Sister want?"

"The Fire Phoenix Divine Beast," the other party said.

Gu An asked again about the price.

"One Nirvana Pill, one pair of Prison Suppressing Stone Lions, plus eighty thousand Spirit Stones," Shangguan Nuan said.

Gu An fell silent. Had the other party taken a cut of twenty thousand?

It was supposed to be a hundred thousand Spirit Stones.

The other party then explained the uses of the Elixir Pills and the Stone Lions.

Same as Chu Meng had said.

Only the number of Spirit Stones was different.

After bargaining, the final deal was for ninety-seven thousand Spirit Stones.

The other party had made a profit of three thousand.

Gu An did not insist on getting the full hundred thousand, allowing the other party to make a three thousand profit, which wasn’t necessarily a bad thing.

After all, it was earned through skill.

There must be something to look forward to in this way.

He himself was wealthy enough; he did not mind this small amount.

The Fire Phoenix Spiritual Egg was then taken away by the other party.

Gu An examined the Nirvana Pill and found it indeed extraordinary, hoping there would be no day he’d need to use it.

The Prison Suppressing Stone Lions were very small statues.

The size of a palm, pitch black throughout.

Gu An placed the objects in the area where Yang Qi and others rested in their cell.

With these two guardians present, hardly anyone would dare to misbehave here.

After getting busy with these matters, Gu An finally stepped toward the Merit Hall.

It wouldn’t take many months for the turmoil of the Fire Phoenix Clan to emerge, and he needed to prepare for every eventuality.

Mei Jianghe, upon hearing Gu An’s arrival, was slightly surprised.

This Junior Brother had been well-behaved for a long time now.

Their Merit Hall indeed had reaped many benefits.

Many had finally seen the significance of the Merit Hall.

Soon, Mei Jianghe met Gu An.

The latter respectfully saluted, "I greet Senior Brother."

"Junior Brother Gu, please come in, how come you have free time to visit today?" Mei Jianghe asked curiously on the way.

"Delivering an item," Gu An replied calmly.

This made Mei Jianghe pause.

"Well, I’m going to look forward to this," he said with a smile.

Inside the room, Mei Jianghe poured a cup of tea for Gu An and said, "Junior Brother, try this tea and see how it is, I have plenty here, if Junior Brother likes it, you may take some."

Gu An tasted it and sensed a lot of Spiritual Energy; as for the flavor, he couldn’t discern it at all.

It’s true that crude people cannot appreciate fine taste.

He wondered what the feeling would be like for a tea connoisseur to drink this tea.

Gu An casually complimented "good tea" and took out a book carved from stone.

Mei Jianghe did not expect Gu An to get straight to the point so quickly, he thought something else was being taken out.

But upon this look, he was stunned.

The teacup he was holding remained suspended in the air.

Gu An even noticed the other’s hand holding the teacup trembling slightly.

Soon, Mei Jianghe set the teacup on the table and said with emotion, "Junior Brother, this is giving someone a shock without a word."

Gu An promptly apologized, "I have caused trouble for Senior Brother."

After looking at the Nirvana Dao Scripture silently for a long time, Mei Jianghe said, "Did the news leak?"

If the news had not leaked, who would hand over such a thing?

"Uh-huh," Gu An nodded truthfully.

"I cannot directly provide an answer for this item, and it might involve quite a lot; even if the Sect accepts it or not is hard to say, so Junior Brother will have to wait. If the Sect does not accept, it will be returned to Junior Brother," Mei Jianghe said.

This answer was somewhat unexpected for Gu An.

But after thinking it over, it made sense.

After all, it’s about the Fire Phoenix Clan.

The Sect might not dare to provoke them.

"Of course, if Junior Brother is worried that we will spy on the contents, he can take the item back first," Mei Jianghe said earnestly.

Gu An shook his head, "No need, I’ll leave it to Senior Brother, and this can also prove whether it’s real or fake."

Gu An wasn’t worried about them peeking at the content.

The more they looked, the more he could drag them into the fray.

Relying on himself alone was definitely not enough.
