Chapter 614

Although the middle-aged man was well-dressed, his face was unhealthily pale.

"You want to do business with me?" The man put down his teacup and looked up at Gu Ding, his eyes clearly sizing him up.

"That's right." Gu Ding nodded. He could clearly see the strength of the man's aura. The strength of the aura was no less than that of a tenth-rank True God. This meant that the man could break through his current cultivation level and become a tenth-rank True God at any time.

"Do you know the rules of my business?" The middle-aged man asked casually.

"I don't know, but I don't mind listening." Gu Ding shook his head.

"I don't do business with strangers of unknown origins. This rule alone is enough to keep you out." The middle-aged man gently rubbed the teacup in his hand with his fingers and looked at Gu Ding with the corner of his mouth curled up slightly.

"But you've already invited me into the house. So, you've broken this rule." Although there was a mask on his face, the middle-aged man could tell that the corner of Gu Ding's mouth was raised. "Also, my name is Gullot. Now that you know my name, I shouldn't be considered a stranger of unknown origins anymore."

"Alright, why me?" The middle-aged man's gaze pierced through the mask on Gu Ding's face and stared into Gu Ding's eyes as if he was trying to read something from those eyes.

"Because no one else can eat my batch of goods. As for whether you can eat it, I'm not sure." When Gu Ding said this, the middle-aged man's expression was obviously a little surprised.

"What is it that's so precious?!"

"It's not precious, but there's a lot of it," Gu Ding corrected him.

"A lot of it?" The middle-aged man suddenly felt that Gu Ding was bluffing when he said that he might not be able to eat it. A lot of it, it was very likely that Gu Ding had found a batch of things in some arcane realm. Usually, in this case, a few hundred things was a big deal. This amount was far more than anyone else could eat.

"If you're interested, I'll take it out for you to see." Gu Ding felt that if the middle-aged man was still not interested in the deal, he would have to go to the next major city.

"Since you've said so, take it out and let me see." The middle-aged man knew that Gu Ding would not give up and leave so easily, so he simply asked Gu Ding to take out the so-called "large quantity" of goods, and then he would show Gu Ding what a large quantity really was.

Gu Ding did not know what the other party was thinking. He just thought that the other party had the intention to trade, so he immediately took out more than eighty thousand storage equipment.

More than eighty thousand palm-sized storage equipment piled up like a mountain inside the Black Tower.

Looking at the mountain of storage equipment, the middle-aged man was dumbfounded. It took him a while to recover his senses. "This mountain is full of storage equipment?"

"That's right." Gu Ding nodded.

"How many are there in total?" The middle-aged man could not help but ask.

"Eighty-three thousand six hundred and eighty-seven pieces." "Among them, there are 24,668 pseudo-spiritual items, 59,011 low-grade spiritual items, and eight middle-grade spiritual items. If you really want to do this business, you can find a professional appraiser to appraise it. "

"These are just empty storage equipment. You don't have anything else, do you?" The middle-aged man speculated. After all, it was impossible for Gu Ding to not have a single item in his Inventory Space.

"Of course, there are also a lot of weapons and armor, most of which are spiritual items." Gu Ding nodded. The corners of his mouth under the mask were already grinning. He knew that the other party was tempted by the goods. "So? Are you interested in doing this deal? "

The middle-aged man immediately stood up and extended his hand to Gu Ding. "Hello, my name is William."

After that, the conversation with William went more smoothly.

Gu Ding sold all the items at eighty percent of the market price for more than twenty million Purple Blood Crystals.

Gu Ding was quite satisfied with the price because these things were useless to him.

William was naturally very happy. He could make at least five million Purple Blood Crystals by reselling them.

"Don't forget to look for me if there's such a good deal in the future." After William transferred the money, he put all the items into his Inventory.

Although Gu Ding nodded, he knew that such an opportunity was unlikely to appear in the future unless there was a second Abyssal Blood Pool in this world.

After the transaction was completed, Gu Ding was about to leave when he suddenly heard William's voice.

"In all these years, you're the second person I can't see through."

Gu Ding stopped in his tracks and asked with a noncommittal smile, "So, there's another person before me?"

"Yes, the first person I can't see through is the current Palace Lord of Divine God Palace." William nodded. "However, you're different from him. He gives off the feeling that he's so powerful that people look up to him, but you give off the feeling that you're mysterious."

"Actually, I have a question for you too." Gu Ding turned around and looked at the other party.

"What is it?" William raised his eyebrows.

"Why did you choose to stay at ninth-rank when you could have broken through to tenth-rank True God at any time?" Gu Ding's question was very direct. "I just have a question. If you don't want to answer it, you can pretend you didn't hear it."

Gu Ding was about to turn around and leave when he heard William speak again after a moment of silence.

"Because I don't dare to break through … You should also know that all True Gods who reach tenth-rank in this world will disappear. I'm worried that once I break through, I'll suffer the same fate, so I've suppressed my cultivation for hundreds of thousands of years. "

The other party's answer was a little unexpected to Gu Ding. Of course, he knew that there were no tenth-rank True Gods in this world. However, he did not expect that there would be someone like William who could suppress his cultivation at ninth-rank True God and not dare to break through.

"For millions of years, all tenth-rank True Gods have disappeared, and no one knows where they went. Did they ascend to another world, or did they die? This question has long been one of the biggest questions in this world, but no one knows the answer.

"That's why I've been hiding in this underground world, and I don't even dare to cultivate. I just suppress my aura all day long to avoid attracting a True God Tribulation and accidentally breaking through to tenth-rank. However, even if I don't cultivate, as time passes, my aura will become stronger and stronger, and sooner or later, I'll attract a True God Tribulation. I know that in this situation, I can only hold on for a few more decades at most. "

Gu Ding felt a little sad after hearing this. He immediately shook his head and whispered to himself, "Maybe this year will be the end of everything …"
