In the main city of Shattrath, Gu Ding found a small hotel to stay in for the time being.

With his size, it was too easy to attract attention in this world. The small hotel had relatively little traffic, so fewer people would see him.

From the time he finished registering at the front desk to the time he checked in, only seven or eight people saw Gu Ding in the hotel.

In his room, Gu Ding's door was closed.

The hotel here also had a simple isolation formation. In addition, the soul strength of the people here was not strong, so it had some effect.

However, Gu Ding was still not at ease. He took out a few Source Stones, engraved a few shielding runes, and placed them in a circle, adding another layer of isolation to the entire room. The reason why he was so cautious was that the eighth-rank Scarlet Flame Demon Fruit was a priceless treasure. If someone knew that he had such a thing in his hands, he was afraid that it would bring him unnecessary trouble. Although Gu Ding was not afraid of trouble, it was better to avoid unnecessary trouble if possible.

After making the necessary preparations, Gu Ding began to check out his spoils of war.

"An entire Scarlet Flame Demon Tree, together with twelve Scarlet Flame Demon Fruits.

"97 true god-level corpses, including one ninth-rank, eighteen eighth-rank, thirty-six seventh-rank, forty-one sixth-rank, and one third-rank that Gu Ding killed on his way here.

"17 half-step true god-level corpses, 15 ultimate deity corpses …"

"Quite a haul!" Neptune smiled after looking at it. "What are you going to do with it?"

"I want to go to the auction and sell some things in exchange for Scarlet Blood Crystals for cultivation. However, with my size, even if I put on a human skin mask and change my face, my body will still be here, and people will still see through me at a glance. "Gu Ding raised a problem that bothered him. "Do you have any good suggestions?"

"You don't have to be troubled by this problem at all. I have several plans to solve this problem." Neptune gave a suggestion without thinking.

"The first plan, I'll teach you a set of shapeshifting techniques. This set of shapeshifting techniques is not an illusion, but a direct change of bones and muscles. After you learn it, you can change into the body shape of the local residents here, and no one will notice. "

"The second plan, I can teach you a kind of hypnosis. With your current soul strength, it will be effective on this world's ninth-rank True Gods. After you learn it, you can directly hypnotize a powerful True God to help you sell. "

"There are some other plans, but the first two are the most feasible."

"I'm more inclined to the first option. If I use hypnosis, I don't have to show myself, and it's much safer. However, if someone were to trace it back to the hypnotized person, there was still a possibility that they could trace it back to me. Although the people here aren't proficient in soul-type spells, it's better to be safe than sorry. If someone happens to be proficient in this area, my identity will be exposed. "

"As for changing my appearance, I'll do it myself. Firstly, I'll be more at ease. In addition, after I obtain the Blood Crystal, I can immediately change my appearance. Every face I use, I can change to a new one, so that no one will be able to trace my true identity. "

"However, the Shapeshifting Technique and the Hypnosis Technique are both practical techniques. You should teach them to me."

After Gu Ding stated his choice, he still wanted to learn both spells. In fact, many people in the Gu Ding Pirate Crew were envious of Liliath's powerful hypnosis ability. On the other hand, Gu Ding was very interested in this kind of spell that he had never come across before.

"Alright, I'll teach you these two spells for the next few days," Neptune agreed.

For the next few days, Gu Ding did not leave the house. He spent all his time learning what Neptune taught him.

"Hypnosis is all about using movements, voices, and even eyes to give psychological hints to the other party, bringing them directly into a state of hypnosis. Therefore, hypnosis is different from direct soul control. It makes the other party willingly accept your orders, and it can be done without anyone noticing. "

"There are usually two subjective factors that affect the effect of hypnosis. One is the strength of the hypnotized person's soul, and the other is the strength of the hypnotized person's will. For some people, even if their soul is not very strong, but their will is strong enough to resist the effects of hypnosis. "

"There are many objective factors that affect the effect of hypnosis. For example, the hypnotized person's environment, psychological state, emotions …"



"Cell Shapeshifting, as the name suggests, changes the shape and size of every cell in the body to achieve a physical change. There are many cells in the human body. To achieve the effect you want, you'll need to go through a lot of training … "



Five days later, a strong man more than three meters tall walked out of Gu Ding's room. That strong man was Gu Ding's appearance after transformation.

He was dressed in an ordinary dark green coarse cloth robe, which was not eye-catching at all. In fact, the clothes were transformed from a set of pseudo-divine-item armor.

When he left the hotel, no one looked at him strangely like before.

Even if they walked toward him, they only glanced at him faintly before looking away.

However, Neptune clearly felt that Gu Ding seemed to be a little uncomfortable. He comforted him, "Don't worry, no one will recognize you. This is a change in the shape of your cells. Even if someone examines your cells at a microscopic level, they won't see anything unusual. I guess even that Heavenly God should be able to deceive you. "

"I just feel that the height of this body is not very comfortable." Although Gu Ding had done some coordination training after his transformation, it was his first time going out after his transformation. He felt a little uncomfortable.

Gu Ding walked all the way to the exchange, looked up at the signboard, and then strode into it casually.

This was the Shatas Exchange, the largest exchange in the entire Shatas main city.

At the entrance of the exchange, the vitality of the two guards were at True God-level. Although they were only first-rank True Gods, it was enough to show that this exchange was definitely not simple.

After entering the exchange, the hall was bustling.

Seeing Gu Ding walk in, a tall girl who was not much shorter than Gu Ding greeted him. "Sir, what can I do for you?"

"I'm here to consign an item for sale." Gu Ding directly stated his purpose.

"Consign an item for sale? What item are you consigning? " Shatas Exchange had always been very polite to sellers because a seller often meant a source of goods.

"Scarlet Flame Demonic Fruit!" Gu Ding said these four words to the other party through voice transmission.

The girl was stunned when she heard this and asked with some uncertainty, "I can help you inform my superior, but do you really have the Scarlet Flame Demonic Fruit? If you don't, I'll be punished, and you'll also be fined. "

"Go inform your superior. Tell him that the grade of the Scarlet Flame Demonic Fruit this time will definitely not disappoint him." Gu Ding transmitted again.

Hearing this, the girl nodded. "Alright then, please wait a moment."

Gu Ding nodded and stood where he was, waiting patiently. However, Neptune's voice sounded in his mind. "This Shatas Exchange is probably one of the largest organizations in the world. There are more than three thousand branches, and they have one in almost every main city. With their strength, the Scarlet Flame Demonic Fruit should be able to sell for a good price. "

Not long after, the girl from before returned. Behind her was a woman in a red dress wearing high heels.

The appearance of the woman immediately attracted the attention of many men in the hall.

However, those people's eyes fell on the woman not only because she was beautiful, but because they knew that this woman had a prominent identity and was the owner of this Shatas Exchange.

When he saw this woman, Gu Ding's pupils shrank suddenly. It was not because she was beautiful, but because this woman's aura was too terrifying. She was already an eighth-rank True God-level.

"This is the gentleman …" The girl led the woman to Gu Ding.

"Got it." The woman in the red dress looked at Gu Ding from head to toe. At a glance, she could tell that Gu Ding's Vitality was only at the level of a one-star half-step True God-level. Her face immediately turned cold. "Your Excellency, did you trick me into coming here because you thought I was easy to fool around with?"

The reason why she asked this was actually very normal because Gu Ding's Vitality was only at the level of a one-star half-step True God-level. As for the Scarlet Flame Demon Tree, the weakest was a powerful existence of True God-level. There was an endless gap between them that was impossible to cross. She thought that Gu Ding tricked her into coming here because he had ulterior motives.

"Trick you into coming here? Why would I do that? I asked this girl to invite her superior over for the consignment of goods. If Shatas Exchange is not interested, I can go to other exchanges, "Gu Ding said and turned to leave.

However, the woman in the red dress frowned slightly and spoke to Gu Ding through voice transmission, "Wait a minute, do you really have the Scarlet Flame Demon Fruit?!"

"I don't just have the Scarlet Flame Demon Fruit, I also have other things." Gu Ding stopped and turned his head to speak.

"Follow me!" The woman in the red dress's figure flickered and suddenly appeared next to Gu Ding. She pressed her hand on his shoulder, and in the next moment, the two of them appeared in another space.

Gu Ding knew that he had entered the other party's miniature world.

This miniature world of hers was quite unique. There was even a small pavilion, a stone table, and stone chairs.

"Sit," the woman in the red dress said, pointing to a stone stool.

Gu Ding sat down without hesitation, and the woman in the red dress also sat opposite Gu Ding.

"My name is Ultia, the owner of Shatas Exchange. Do you really have the Scarlet Flame Demon Fruit?" The woman in the red dress looked at Gu Ding with some anticipation.

Gu Ding flipped his hand, and a blood-colored fruit that beat like a heart appeared in his palm. The blood-colored fruit, when shrunk to its smallest size, was the size of a human head. There were eight strange golden lines on its surface, like protruding blood vessels.

"Eight lines … Is this the eighth-rank Scarlet Flame Demon Fruit?" Seeing this fruit, Ultia was a little stunned. "It's the eighth-rank Scarlet Flame Demon Fruit!!!"

Gu Ding raised his eyebrows. This reaction from the other party was exactly what he had wanted. For an eighth-rank true god-level powerhouse to lose her composure like this, it also proved the high value of the thing in his hand.

After a long time, Ultia came back to her senses and looked at Gu Ding with a face full of hope. "Sir, can you sell this Scarlet Flame Demon Fruit to me?"
