"Do you know what benefits Frank and Otto, those two old men, will receive if you achieve a good result at the Alchemist Conference?"
Gute continued, smiling.
"Ahem." Just as Xiao Tianci was shaking his head, Otto coughed softly, drawing Xiao Tianci's attention.
Otto blushed, then touched his nose, seemingly feeling a little embarrassed.
"Hey Tianci, you've come here on other important business, haven't you? Don't take up too much time."
Hearing Otto's words, which were clearly an attempt to change the subject, Xiao Tianci nodded.
In truth, Xiao Tianci didn't really care what rewards Frank and Otto would ultimately receive.
After all, he had already promised the two masters, so it was impossible for him to go back on his word.
Moreover, Frank and Otto owe him a favor, and the more rewards they receive, the heavier that favor will be.
Therefore, no matter how you calculate it, Xiao Tianci is not at a loss.
Seeing that Xiao Tianci had no intention of asking any further questions, Otto breathed a sigh of relief without making it obvious. Then, he glared fiercely at Gute.
"Old man, just you wait. By tomorrow, the entire Black Rock City's alchemists will know the status of every medicinal herb in your collection!"
"No way!" Hearing Otto still threatening him with his collection, Gute's anger instantly deflated. "We've been friends for so many years, I was just joking."
Otto shrugged, clearly having no intention of continuing to pay attention to Gute.
"Alright, didn't you come to me with important business? Hurry up and say what it is." Gute waved his hand, then stared intently at the Storage Ring in Xiao Tianci's hand, and suddenly said, "I have a feeling you have a lot of rare and precious treasures. Could it be that you have some extraordinary treasure you want to sell me? Hehe, sure, sure! As long as it satisfies me, I'll definitely give you a satisfactory price!"
Gute spoke with considerable confidence, clearly indicating that he was extremely wealthy to utter such words.
"Ahem, no, that's not it." Xiao Tianci naturally shook his head, then his gaze locked onto Gute's face, and he said softly, "I wanted to ask if you have the Immortal-Slaying Underworld Flower in your possession?"
Upon hearing this, Gute's face froze slightly. The next moment, he shook his head vigorously, like a windmill, and hurriedly said, "No, no, you've got the wrong person. How could I possibly have such a rare treasure!"
Seeing Gute's expression, Xiao Tianci also pursed his lips helplessly.
He was now 100% certain that Gute possessed the Immortal-Slaying Underworld Flower.
Because when Xiao Tianci uttered the words "Immortal-Slaying Underworld Flower" just now, there was a fleeting look of astonishment on Gute's face.
Perhaps he was astonished, wondering how he had obtained the information that the other party possessed the Immortal-Slaying Underworld Flower.
"Old man, stop being cheeky. If I remember correctly, you told me a while ago that you obtained the Immortal-Slaying Underworld Flower, and you even bragged about it for quite a while. I still remember the smug look on your face when you were showing off." Otto suddenly spoke up at this moment.
"Get out, you old bastard! Don't ever come here again! You never come here with anything good!"
After Otto ruthlessly exposed his secrets, Gute became somewhat embarrassed and angry and cursed, a slight livid look appearing on his face.
Otto simply shrugged, ignoring Gute, and instead turned to Xiao Tianci, saying, "Young friend Xiao, I've already brought you to see him. As for how to get him to return the Immortal-Slaying Underworld Flower to you, that's up to you. I'll wait for you outside."
After saying this, Otto stood up and walked towards the door.
" Master Otto." Upon seeing this, Xiao Tianci also bowed to Otto's retreating figure.
In any case, Otto had helped him out.
Otto waved casually, and as he walked out the door, he patted a spot on the wall with his palm.
Suddenly, a wooden door slowly rose from the entrance, and after a moment, it concealed the room inside.
At the same time, Otto thoughtfully used his Dou Qi to create a simple seal at the entrance.
Clearly, he was also trying to prove to Xiao Tianci that he had no intention of eavesdropping.
Seeing the wooden door rise again, Xiao Tianci took a deep breath.
Then, with a wave of his hand, he blew the dust off the chair in front of him, and casually sat down opposite Gute.
Seeing Xiao Tianci's actions, Gute also glanced at the door that was sealed by Dou Qi.
Immediately, a resolute look appeared on his face, and he snorted, "Kid, don't even think about it. I'm not giving you the Immortal-Slaying Underworld Flower. Do you know how rare the Immortal-Slaying Underworld Flower is?"
"I can roughly guess its exact rarity," Xiao Tianci shrugged.
"Since you can guess it, what are you still doing here?" Gute curled his lip.
"However, I believe there is no deal that cannot be made in this world. If a deal fails, there is only one possibility: that no one has offered something that will tempt the other party in exchange," Xiao Tianci said with a smile. His expression did not change in the slightest because of Gute's refusal.
"Oh? Since you know all that, what are you doing here? And you also know how rare the Immortal-Slaying Underworld Flower is, so don't give me that 'I need the Immortal-Slaying Underworld Flower to save my life' nonsense. I don't have that much sympathy." Gute raised his dark eyebrows, then glanced at Xiao Tianci.
There was clearly a hint of mockery in his voice.
Gute clearly didn't believe that Xiao Tianci could produce anything that would excite him.
After hearing Gute's words, Xiao Tianci's expression remained unchanged.
He hesitated for a moment, his lips pursed slightly, as if he were thinking about what he could offer to impress Gute.
"Hey kid, you don't actually have some good stuff, do you?" Gute raised an eyebrow after seeing Xiao Tianci's reaction, then hesitated before saying, "But let's get this straight, don't bring out any Cultivation Methods and Combat Skills. Although some Cultivation Methods and Combat Skills are indeed quite rare, I'm not interested in those things. What I'm most interested in are rare and precious natural treasures."
