Xie Bao Shu

He is handsome and has a warm nature. ^{ch. 1452}

In Eastern Sea’s clear sea area he hosts You Xian Zi in a jade pavilion that emits the aura of a rank six Immortal Gu House, with large patches of vicissitude trees outside. He is a well-known lone cultivator in Eastern Sea’s Gu Immortal world with unique insights on growing those trees. Vicissitude trees are impure immortal materials few Gu Immortals value, but he plants them on a large scale and uses an ingenious method to raise and attract wild year Gu. He becomes one of the three giants of the year Gu market, selling only a small portion into treasure yellow heaven and the larger portion to Eastern Sea super forces. Among the three sellers only he is a lone cultivator, and he will not easily give up treasure yellow heaven’s market. ^{ch. 1452}

He hesitates when Wang Ming Yue sells early, then joins the market himself. With Rong Xin and Wang Ming Yue he has competed for years without breaking agreed prices, and the three hold good public reputation as long-time sellers. Seeing Fang Yuan’s large sales, he concludes that they must reduce prices or they will not sell. ^{ch. 1453}

As Fang Yuan’s price falls, Xie Bao Shu and the other sellers lower theirs after a few days. Fang Yuan judges that their years of reputation will draw buyers once they match him. Xie Bao Shu keeps following the cuts, first matching, then reacting again when Fang Yuan drops further, until his casual front breaks and he admits the opponent will be tough. ^{ch. 1454}

He and Wang Ming Yue decide to follow Fang Yuan’s price reductions to stay safe. He has a stable mindset and prefers the safest option. Later he stops cutting and observes instead, needing to know whether Fang Yuan is putting up a front or really has the foundation. He uses vicissitude trees and still needs manpower and resources for that method. ^{ch. 1455}

Discussing with Rong Xin and Wang Ming Yue, he turns pale and says Fang Yuan is trying to get rid of them entirely. He analyzes that other goods may be needed if year Gu alone cannot convince Fang Yuan, then refuses to give up the year Gu business because as a lone cultivator he has relied on year Gu to support his cultivation and connections. ^{ch. 1456}

He arrives looking like a graceful young master with a warm aura. He is a famous Eastern Sea lone cultivator with a unique method of nurturing vicissitude trees, once a major seller of year Gu until Fang Yuan ruined that business. In the previous life he worked with You Xian Zi to snatch Fairy Yue Hua’s moonlight mushrooms. ^{ch. 1884}
