BXBX NOVEL Chapter 912 - Transaction With The Great Pixie
Chapter 912: Transaction With The Great Pixie
Inside the cave of rocks.
Gu Qing Shan and Shannu were busy arranging a large-scale warp formation.
After carefully checking the tall slender woman’s wounds, Gu Qing Shan understood that she wouldn’t be able to regain consciousness for the time being.
——-her wounds were too severe, even with an immortal body, it would take her quite a bit of time to recover.
“There, you stay here to take care of her”
Gu Qing Shan put the formation plate back into his Inventory Bag and told Shannu.
“What about you, gongzi? Are you going to explore this world?”
Shannu asked.
Gu Qing Shan explained: “I need to find a relatively safe place in this world, I can sense my Measure Tribulation approaching”
Shannu asked worriedly: “How much longer will it be?”
Gu Qing Shan closed his eyes to sense and replied: “One day”
Shannu commented: “There isn’t a single sign of life in the vicinity of several hundred miles around us, I think it should be safe enough”
Gu Qing Shan recalled the description on the star chart and smiled bitterly: “This place is stranger than you think. Apparently, there are many other worlds hidden inside this one, so we need to quickly move forward to the next world——– that place is a lot safer”
“Then gongzi should go quickly. Since I’m here, you don’t need to worry”
“Alright”
Gu Qing Shan left the cave of rocks.
He leapt to the sky and hovered in place before expanding his gaze in all directions.
All he saw were several mountains made from rocks and pebbles stacked on top that reached all the way to the sky.
The surface of the world was barren and desolate.
There wasn’t a single living being in sight.
Gu Qing Shan then tried releasing his inner sight to its maximum range and checked every area he could.
Within his inner sight, every piece of rock, every speck of dust was displayed to him in detail.
Nothing was able to escape his perception.
And yet the world was still in complete silence.
“How interesting”
Gu Qing Shan muttered, then decided to check the detailed description of the star chart about this world once again.
He quickly found out some clues.
There were a total of 79 worlds in the Eastern region of this world.
Among these 79 worlds, there was a specifically small one that provided communication between entities of various worlds as well as the collection of intel.
Despite being called ‘small’, it was necessary to go through this world in order to obtain any information or to think of a way to head into the next world.
Gu Qing Shan checked the map and flew across the sky towards the Eastern region.
The sky was shrouded in a thick dark cloud.
There was not a single gust of wind.
It felt as if this entire world was a tomb.
A dark figure descended from above.
Gu Qing Shan landed on the ground.
According to the star chart, that small world should be nearby.
Gu Qing Shan looked around.
Shortly after, he discovered a well.
——-why a well?
Gu Qing Shan walked towards the well and looked down.
There was some drifting fog at the bottom of the well, obscuring the scene inside.
When Gu Qing Shan tried to send his inner sight down the well, he found that it was being blocked out by this fog.
He felt a sense of danger.
The fog was drifting about very casually, but Gu Qing Shan could sense that this was sort of a considerable security measure.
While Gu Qing Shan was thinking of how to approach them, a robot arm had already risen up from the well.
At the same time, an electronic voice sounded:
[Human creature detected, beginning language and writing interface adaptation]
[Human common language prepared]
A screen was projected from the robot arm with some text written on it.
Skimming through it, Gu Qing Shan found that this was the Spire’s language—— although the Spire had already been destroyed, their language was still the most common language among human races:
[Greetings, esteemed human sir, if you want to enter the Infinite Worlds Marketplace, please ensure that you fulfill one of the following conditions]
[Number 1: You have our membership]
[Number 2: You have information of considerable value that you would like to sell (if you lie, prepare to face the consequences)]
[Number 3: You own at least 30 personal worlds (we will consider your membership)]
[Number 4: You are a Lord-class Combatant (we will automatically induct you as our esteemed member)]
[Number 5: You are in ownership of a Soul Artifact (we will immediately induct you as a VIP member)]
[Number 6: You are here to sell yourself (indeed, life is not easy, we also take part in population trafficking)]
Gu Qing Shan shook his head and muttered: “So many steps”
While saying so, he released his Three Thousand Worlds realm presence.
The robot arm was unresponsive.
Hm? What’s going on?
Gu Qing Shan was first surprised, then realized what happened.
The black Silent Dusk Cloak had completely obscured his aura. If he didn’t try to look down into the well, this ‘Infinite Worlds Marketplace’ might not have even realized that he was here.
...that’s troublesome.
I can’t take off the Silent Dusk Cloak, otherwise; the Demon Dragon’s presence might seep out and possibly turn someone into a Demon Dragon bloodkin.
Then I have to choose one of the other options.
Show them a Soul Artifact?
——-I can’t display ancient Abyssal Soul Artifacts like the Heaven sword or Earth sword.
Not to mention, people flaunting their wealth has never led to anything decent.
Then——- selling myself?
That’s even worse.
After a bit of thought, Gu Qing Shan told the robot arm: “I have information of considerable value that I want to sell”
The text on the screen projected by the robot arm changed:
[Are you sure the information is of considerable value? If you try to deceive the Great Pixie, no one would be able to save you]
Gu Qing Shan was surprised.
No wonder they were able to demand such conditions.
It turns out a pixie was backing this information hub.
It is said that pixies possess the abilities of the miraculous Quipcraft that other races simply can’t learn or use.
These Quipcrafts were exceptionally powerful, transcending the usual meaning of being weak or strong, they were practically on the same level as Causality techniques.
Barry’s leg that wouldn’t get better for several hundred years was only healed thanks to the Pixie’s Crystal Flower.
And every pixie was born with a unique innate Quipcraft——-
[Unseen and traceless].
This wasn’t the same kind of ability as the Spirit Tortoise’s [Untraceable Tail], but rather that as soon as a pixie went out of sight, you would most likely never see it again.
Gu Qing Shan told the robot arm: “I’m sure my information is very valuable, please let me in”
The robot arm stopped a bit and pulled itself back into the well.
The fog inside the well scattered.
A finger-sized object flew out from the well and stood on the well’s opening.
It was a long-nosed old man wearing a green pointy hat and a green robe.
It looked up at Gu Qing Shan and loudly demanded: “The valuable information! I want to know what the valuable information is first!”
“Of course, that is my part of the transaction” Gu Qing Shan replied.
“What do you want to know from me?” the long-nosed old man asked.
“There is a certain swamp in this world that appears at different places and different times without any rules or patterns, I heard that only a pixie would know when it would next appear” Gu Qing Shan said.
“I see, you want to head to Riddle World—— Riddle World isn’t a place where just anyone can enter—— it is a secret world!” the long-nosed old man complained.
“That’s why I’m exchanging this valuable information with you in exchange for the details of the swamp’s next appearance” Gu Qing Shan replied.
The long-nosed old man squinted his eyes and carefully observed Gu Qing Shan while keeping his front tooth in the open.
Gu Qing Shan simply waited for the other side to proceed with the transaction.
Both of them said nothing.
The long-nosed old man suddenly said: “Your cloak looks nice, you selling?”
Gu Qing Shan replied: “No”
The long-nosed old man angrily questioned: “Then why are you here?”
Gu Qing Shan answered: “I just told you, I want to exchange information”
The long-nosed old man appeared shocked, then patted his own forehead: “Ah, right, I remember now, you wanted to exchange information with me——- sorry about that, your cloak was really mesmerizing so I lost focus for a bit”
“Can we conduct the transaction now?” Gu Qing Shan patiently asked again.
“Of course”
The long-nosed old man took out a short club and tapped it along the ring of the well.
The scene around them changed.
Gu Qing Shan noticed that he had now arrived at a luxurious palace.
There was nothing but precious glowing treasures here, there wasn’t even an open place to stand on the floor.
The long-nosed old man’s expression turned serious and cleared his throat: “Then, according to the rules of exchanging information, please go first”
Gu Qing Shan replied: “I want to sell information about the Abyss”
The long-nosed old man waved his hand dismissively: “Not enough”
Gu Qing Shan continued: “The Holy Churches of the Strife Zones in 900 million World Layers is related to my information”
The long-nosed old man paused, then slowly spoke again: “A bit interesting, but still not valuable enough to exchange for the entrance to Riddle World”
Gu Qing Shan added: “This information isn’t only related to the Eternal Abyss, the Strife Zones’ Holy Churches, but also the final battle of the Age of Old”
——he was about to disclose the matter of the Demon Dragon.
Indeed, I can’t win against him right now.
But if I leave him behind the scene to rampage as he pleased, wouldn’t that make it too easy for him?
The long-nosed old man appeared shocked and was about to say something, but a green frog jumped out from inside this green robe.
The green frog loudly shouted: “It’s about that event! It’s about that event! His information is related to that event in the history of the Bygone Era!”
The long-nosed old man’s expression warped. He hurriedly put the frog back into his pocket, and looked at Gu Qing Shan nervously.
“Deal!” he loudly declared.
