Mortal Bones

"Brother Taiping, tell me honestly, you didn't actually dispose of the body of the yellow dog demon species, right?"

"Brother Taiping, if you don't answer, I will take it as your acquiescence."

"Brother Taiping, tell me where you are now, and I will go look for you together with the elders in the pavilion."

Over the sea of ​​dry rocks.

Xu Taiping sat on Bai Yu's back, the jade slip in his hand lit up from time to time, and Mu Yun's voice transmission kept ringing in his mind.

"Brother Lu."

Xu Taiping let go of the jade slip in his hand, looked at Lu Bugong who was staring at the sea of ​​dry rocks below with a serious face, and shouted to him.

"What's the matter, young master?"

Lu Bugong immediately looked away from the ground and turned to look at Xu Taiping behind him.

"Do you know that the Old Dragon Court recently offered a reward of one million gold coins to find the corpse of the yellow dog demon species?"

Xu Taiping asked Lu Bugong.

"I did hear something."

Lu Bugong thought about it carefully, then nodded.

"It's just a demon corpse. Why is there such a high reward?"

Xu Taiping asked curiously.

"Young master, you don't know something. The bodies of demon species in the Dead Stone Sea have always been very valuable. And this yellow dog demon species is the most powerful one among the monsters that have been killed recently. The Old Dragon Court It’s only natural to offer a high reward for him.”

Lu BuGong replied.

"Why?"

Xu Taiping was a little puzzled.

In his impression, although the corpse of the demon species could indeed be exchanged for some gold, it was not so sought-after.

"Because a long time ago, some monks discovered that some spiritual grasses and spiritual trees that only grow in the sea of ​​dry stone grew particularly quickly after being watered with fertilizer made from the corpses of demon species. Some spiritual grasses and elixirs grew very quickly after being watered with demonic corpses. Fertilizer made from corpses can have ten years of medicinal effect after just one year of growth. This is why medicinal herbs that are hundreds, thousands or even ten thousand years old often appear in the Sea of ​​Dry Stones."

Lu BuGong replied.

"They actually used the corpses of demons as fertilizer?"

Xu Taiping said with a surprised look.

In the past, he only knew that the corpse of the demon species could be used as a material for making swords. He had never thought that the fertilizer made from it could also be used to water spiritual grass and spiritual trees.

"Taiping, ask Lu Bugong if he knows when Ku Shihai started using the corpses of demon species as fertilizer."

Fairy Lingyue suddenly spoke to Xu Taiping in a serious tone.

"Fellow Daoist Lu, do you know when this sea of ​​dry stones began to use the corpse of this demon species as fertilizer?"

Xu Taiping nodded secretly, and then continued to ask Lu Bugong calmly.

"Calculating this time, if not ten thousand years, it should be seven or eight thousand years. It may be earlier than I know."

Lu BuGong thought about it carefully and then answered.

"Sister Lingyue, why do you care about this?"

After hearing Lu Bugong's answer, Xu Taiping immediately sent a message to Fairy Lingyue.

"Taiping, have you noticed that the time when Ku Shihai used demon seeds as fertilizer was after the tenth demon abyss demon seed landed."

Fairy Lingyue reminded Xu Taiping.

"Sister Lingyue, do you want to say that there may be a connection between the two?"

Xu Taiping's heart trembled.

"At least in my memory, using the corpse of a demon species as fertilizer to water spiritual grass has never happened in the realm of the upper world."

Fairy Lingyue, who had already manifested her spirit body, nodded to Xu Taiping.

"Ignoring whether this matter has anything to do with the demon species in the Tenth Demonic Abyss, at least Huangque's statement that the corpse of the yellow dog is worth millions of gold can be confirmed."

After Xu Taiping communicated with Fairy Lingyue like this, he immediately took out the jade slip from his sleeve and began to communicate to Mu Yun:

"Brother Mu Yun, the body of the yellow dog demon species is indeed in my hands."

"But right now I am in the Sea of ​​Dry Stones and need a sum of gold and fine money urgently. If anyone in your Guangling Pavilion is in the Sea of ​​Dry Stones, you can arrange a place to trade with me.

"Otherwise, I will have to find a place to dispose of the corpse of this yellow dog demon species."

At the moment, whether it is buying the medicinal materials needed to refine the elixir for breaking through the transformation realm, or spending money on lotus pupil curse seals and portraits of ghosts and gods, he cannot do without gold.

"Buzz buzz..."

Xu Taiping had just transmitted the message, and the jade slip in his hand trembled.

He just held the jade slip gently with his hand, and Mu Yun's voice came into his mind——

"Brother Taiping, the body of the yellow dog demon is indeed in your hands!"

As before, the wealthy Mu Yun was so excited that he sent such a brief sentence using only this jade slip.

However, Xu Taiping, who had long been used to it, just held the jade slip with an expressionless face, quietly waiting for Mu Yun's next words.

Soon, Mu Yun's voice once again reached Xu Taiping's mind through the jade slip -

"Brother Taiping, I just asked the elder Lou who is in charge of Ku Shihai. Although no one in our Guangling Pavilion is in the old Longting at the moment, the owner of the old Longting Relic Pearl Tower is a close friend of our elder Lou. You can first Send the yellow dog's body to the Relic Pearl Tower for inspection."

"As long as the inspection is correct, Brother Taiping, you can negotiate a price with us. As long as the price is not too much higher than the highest reward of the Old Dragon Court, we at Guangling Pavilion can accept it."

This time, Mu Yun finally said everything he needed to say in a message.

"Friend Lu Dao, have you ever heard of the Relic Pearl Tower in the Old Dragon Court?"

Xu Taiping put down the jade slip and raised his head to ask Lu Bugong for advice.

"I've heard of it." Lu Bugong nodded, "Yizhu Tower is one of the largest pawn shops in the old Longting. Although the owner has a weird temper, he has a good character and is never greedy for the items brought to him for sale by his customers."

"Thank you."

After receiving the confirmation, Xu Taiping immediately clenched the jade slip in his hand and began to transmit messages to Mu Yun——

"Brother Muyun, for this corpse of the Yellow Dog Demon Species, you can ask the Relic Pearl Tower to give me one million gold coins without any additional price."

The reason why he didn't use Mu Yun to increase the price was mainly because he wanted to repay the favor of the Great Elder of Guangling Pavilion that day at Tianxiadu.

"Since Brother Taiping is so cheerful, I won't waste any more nonsense and go arrange this matter now!"

Although Xu Taiping didn't say it clearly, Mu Yun had obviously noticed the reason why he didn't increase the price.

"Sir, the Old Dragon Court is almost here. If we don't get down and walk, the monks below will think that we are provoking them and will attack us in groups."

At this time, Lu Bugong, who had been looking down at the situation below, suddenly raised his head and reminded Xu Taiping.

Xu Taiping nodded when he heard this, then gently patted Bai Yu's back and said:

"Go down."

Immediately, Bai Yu heard an eagle cry, his wings suddenly trembled, and he lowered his body and swooped down.

"boom!……"

Amidst the deafening sound of breaking through the air, Xu Taiping, who used his sword energy to break through the strong wind, only saw a bright bead appearing in the sea of ​​stones directly below them.
