Chapter 383 Another Provocation
Gu Qing led two people out, asked the service robot next to her, and took the elevator directly upstairs.
As soon as the elevator doors opened, the entire lobby was laid out before you. You might say the lobby was separated by beautiful glass display cases, where each purification master had brought their own items, either pills or elixirs. The key point was that there was also a rather large purification peach.
This thing is a rare species. Few plants can be directly ingested for purification, but this is one of them. Ingesting it directly will not reduce its effects; its medicinal properties are practically a natural purifying elixir.
Just by looking at the peaches on this tree, you can tell they're of high quality. Many people have come to inquire, offering quite high prices, but the seller just won't budge.
"What's wrong? You've taken a liking to this purified transplant?"
Lou Xiaoyu saw the plant covered by the cover and asked Gu Qing about it.
Gu Qing reached out and took his hand, "Let's go look around somewhere else first. We don't know what's inside yet since we just came in."
Qi Bai glanced at her other hand, and finally mustered up the courage to touch it. Gu Qing reached out and took it.
Qi Bai's lips were still turned up in a smile, making his dimples even more pronounced. However, with people coming and going at the trade fair, no one paid much attention.
The star system to which the Empire belongs is different from theirs, and the various exotic plants and beasts are also somewhat different. However, after studying at school for a period of time, plus supplementing my learning online...
Gu Qing was no novice; he could recognize over 90% of the exotic plants present. For the few he didn't recognize, he simply looked them up on his AI and learned something about them.
I don't know if it's related to her career and studies, but now she's like a mouse in a rice bin, developing a different kind of possessiveness towards these things.
However, he was a bit stingy. Apart from some low-level exotic plants that required a lot of use, he bought seeds or plants that could be transplanted and cultivated for the rest of his home.
High-grade exotic plants, whether whole plants, fruits, seeds, or even branches, are extremely expensive. While the purifiers who come here are generally well-off, very few are as extravagant as she is in buying up all the plants.
Gu Qing always buys or exchanges things she likes directly, since she has plenty of good stuff herself, so she doesn't like to waste time arguing.
Well, I just happened to see some Spirit-Catching Grass seeds for sale. This kind of spirit grass is planted on a large scale, and when it grows to three to six inches, it will release energy.
Moreover, this thing is not easily mutated or contaminated; the only downside is that it easily attracts exotic beasts.
Gu Qing plans to live permanently on Blue Star, and she intends to use this exotic plant for landscaping when building her house there. As for its ability to attract exotic beasts, she can manage that as a defense.
The other party had clearly seen her generous offer earlier—a box of seeds weighing about 500 grams—and asked for three high-level life-extending insects in return.
To be honest, the price is a bit high. It's difficult to cultivate a mature plant from a different species, and it's even more difficult to cultivate seeds. However, the level of the Spirit-Catching Grass is not high.
Collecting seeds is not difficult.
Moreover, to get this thing to release energy, it must be planted on a large scale; one or two plants are basically useless.
However, Gu Qing didn't try to negotiate the price with her. She directly took out three life-extending insects and reached out to take the energy box containing the seeds.
Suddenly, a pair of slender hands with long, elegant nails snatched the box away. The box was closed, and the person opened it and glanced inside.
He said arrogantly, "Superior quality, I'll take it, name your price!"
They completely ignored Gu Qing.
Gu Qing looked at Sophia, who was half a head taller than her, and seemed about to turn away, but after turning halfway, she reached out and snatched the box back.
And he spoke first, "They really have no aristocratic manners or etiquette at all. They just reach into other people's hands and snatch things. Could their bloodline be impure?"
The Federation doesn't care about this kind of thing, but the people on the Empire's side are particularly concerned about their bloodline, and Gu Qing is deliberately trying to make her unhappy.
However, Gu Qing's words did indeed strike a chord with Sophia. Sophia's father was just her mother's lover, and although she was born naturally, it was an accident.
She also had an older sister who was very unloved and was the kind of person who was trampled on at will. If she hadn't cruelly plotted her sister's death...
She never had such a distinguished status.
Even though her mother has now acknowledged her identity, the nobles still look down on her bloodline. Gu Qing's words are like a knife to the heart.
After saying this, Gu Qing ignored her, nodded to the purifier at the stall, and turned to leave.
Although this purifier was also from the Empire, he clearly didn't care about Sophia's identity and looked at her with his arms crossed.
"Excuse me, could you please move aside? I need to serve some customers here!"
