Mortal Bones

Soon, everyone saw that in a huge golden bird cage, there stood a beautiful woman with silver hair.

After the black cloth was removed, the woman's face turned blood red, and her eyes were filled with shame and anger.

Amidst the astonishment, the shopkeeper Yuan introduced to everyone:

"This woman is already married, but she has a trace of the blood of the ancient mythical beast Nine-tailed Fox in her body, which can help you break through the bottleneck when I can't make progress in my practice."

As soon as these words came out, there was another uproar on the scene.

The shopkeeper Yuan continued:

"As for whether it will be investigated by the various prefectures and immortal alliances, you guests don't have to worry. This woman voluntarily sold herself to save her husband, and the immortal alliance will not ask."

When he finished speaking, a burst of laughter suddenly rang out on the scene.

Because they had guessed the identity of the owner behind this batch of goods, as well as the identity of this woman and her husband.

After all, the story of Mr. Liang, who cheated Lu Bugong out of all his family wealth and gambled his wife and children, has long been a topic of conversation on the streets of Old Dragon City.

…

"I deserve to die!"

"Damn it!"

"Damn it!"

In the wing room where Xu Taiping was, Lu Bugong looked at his wife who was locked in a cage on the stage, and listened to the constant ridicule and sneer coming from the spiritual mirror in front of him. Lu Bugong's aura was disordered, and he looked like he was about to collapse.

When the bird cage appeared, Xu Taiping and Lu Bugong had guessed that the owner of the second batch of goods to be auctioned by Qianshufang was Liang Chengshan.

After seeing this scene, the owner of the Yizhu Tower said nothing, but just watched quietly from the back.

He was entangled in various affairs recently, and in fact, he didn't understand why Lu Bugong showed this expression at first. It was after he confirmed with the owner of the Yizhu Tower through voice transmission that he learned about Lu Bugong selling his wife.

Just when Lu Bugong was about to collapse, Xu Taiping turned to look at Lu Bugong, and then said expressionlessly:

"You deserve to die, but not now."

With just one sentence, Lu Bugong's disordered breath showed signs of stability, and his eyes gradually became bright.

Xu Taiping looked at Lu Bugong and continued:

"Your wife has endured humiliation and lived well for you and Tingyun. What qualifications do you have to die?"

This sentence made Lu Bugong stand there in a daze as if struck by lightning.

"Sir, as long as you can save my wife, I, Lu Bugong, will serve you like a cow and a horse for the rest of my life."

Lu Bugong knelt down in front of Xu Taiping with a plop.

He knew very well that the only one who could save his wife now was Xu Taiping.

At the same time, the voice of the shopkeeper Yuan sounded again--

"The starting price of this fairy-quality Ice Soul Stone auctioned this time is one million gold coins, and the price can be increased by 10,000 gold coins each time. You can increase the price."

As soon as the voice fell, the voice of bidding continued to sound in the spirit mirror.

In a short moment, the price of the Ice Soul Stone had been raised to two million.

Although the use of the Ice Soul Stone is far less than that of the corpse of the deep-sea monster, because the fairy-quality Ice Soul Stone is rare enough, there are still people willing to pay a high price to buy it.

"Young Master."

Seeing the price getting higher and higher, Lu Bugong looked at Xu Taiping with a pleading face.

Xu Taiping did not speak, but was calculating something quickly in his mind.

Seeing Xu Taiping's silence, Fairy Lingyue thought he was in a dilemma, so she reminded him through voice transmission:

"Taiping, there is something wrong with this piece of ice soul stone. If you buy it just for that woman, the risk will be great."

Xu Taiping replied through voice transmission:

"Sister Lingyue, don't worry, I have thought of a way."

In the surprised eyes of Fairy Lingyue, Xu Taiping suddenly turned his head to look at the owner of the Pearl Tower beside him and said:

"Shopkeeper Kong, if you buy a fake item in Qianshufang, will Qianshufang really compensate you?"

The owner of the Pearl Tower nodded and said: "Only if you can prove that it is fake, Qianshufang will definitely compensate you. It will not destroy its own reputation."

Xu Taiping nodded.

Then, he stretched out his hand and threw a hundred gold coins at the spiritual mirror in front of him, and then shouted to Shopkeeper Yuan on the stage:

"Lu Bugong, Mr. Lu, bid 2.1 million gold coins."

As soon as these words came out, there was an uproar around the venue.

No one expected to hear the name "Lu Bugong" here today.

Not only them, but also Lu Bugong himself in the wing room and the owner of the Yizhu Tower were all surprised.

Lu Bugong asked Xu Taiping in surprise:

"Sir, why do you use my name? Isn't it exposed?"

Xu Taiping stared at the spirit mirror in front of him and said without turning his head:

"I'm not afraid, what are you afraid of?"

Lu Bugong was stunned at first, and then a look of realization appeared on his face. He immediately sent a message to Xu Taiping:

"Sir, you deliberately angered Liang Chengshan so that he would come to you after the pawn sale!"

Xu Taiping did not answer.

While he continued to bid with the spirit mirror, he sent a message to Fairy Lingyue, who was also very surprised at the moment:

"Sister Lingyue, help me ask the ghost master about the Ice Soul Stone. If it's him, he will definitely know something."

Upon hearing this, Fairy Lingyue suddenly woke up.

The power of the original demon species of the ghost master is "knowing fate". As long as he puts in enough power, he can know everything that has happened in the world in the past.

Fairy Lingyue immediately responded:

"I will help you ask!"

Although I know that questioning this ghost master will cost more than 100,000 gold and fines, but if we can really find out the problem with the ice soul stone, not to mention 100,000, even one million is worth spending.

After all, Qianshufang has already promised that if the goods are fake, they will compensate the customer half of the original price even if the goods are taken away.

…

"Lu Bugong offered two million six hundred thousand gold coins. Is there any other guest who can increase the price?"

"If no one raises the price, this ice soul stone and this lady will belong to guest officer Lu Bugong."

"Pfft!..."

In a wing room in the north building of the auction, Liang Chengshan finally couldn't help laughing after hearing these two shouts from shopkeeper Yuan.

A pockmarked old man standing next to Liang Chengshan, with his hands behind his back, looked curiously at the spiritual mirror in front of him and said:

"I don't know where Lu Bugong found this villain, but he was willing to pay him such a sum of money."

Liang Chengshan stretched out boredly and said, "It must be a disciple of some hidden sect. He has some chivalrous heart and wants to fight against Lu Bugong's injustice."

The pockmarked old man looked a little cautious and said:

"Sir, if you are really a disciple of a hidden sect or aristocratic family, we may have to be more careful."

Liang Chengshan stood up and said with an indifferent expression:

"No matter where he comes from, as long as he comes to this Sea of ​​Stones, he must abide by the rules of our Sea of ​​Stones."

Having said this, he looked at the pockmarked elder with a smile and continued:

"The rules of Kushihai are the rules of our Biyou Palace, my uncle's rules, and the rules of Evil Lord Qingtong."

The pock-marked old man laughed "haha" when he heard this, then nodded and said:

"What the young master said is, regardless of whether he is a descendant of a hidden sect or not, in the Dry Stone Sea, we, Biyou Palace, have the final say."

At this moment, Liang Chengshan suddenly reached out and touched his chin, then raised the corners of his mouth and said with a sly smile:

"Mr. Liu, do you think that if I try to make them lose everything after they take away the ice soul stone and that bitch, how desperate will the Lu Bu Gong family be?"

"The same goes for the children of the aristocratic family. They obviously did good deeds, but in the end they didn't expect any good retribution."

"He should also be crazy, right?"

When he said this, Liang Chengshan, who had a crazy look on his face, suddenly took out a scarlet token from his arms.

Then, Liang Chengshan looked at the token and continued:

"Once I have absorbed all the evil thoughts such as despair, pain, helplessness and so on in them, it's time for my divine order to be upgraded. Maybe I can even summon cultivators in the shocking realm."

The pockmarked old man at the side's eyes lit up, and he praised with a distorted smile:

"Young Master, you are a great talent!"

Just as he was talking, the auction bell rang.

Then, I heard shopkeeper Yuan Da say loudly:

"Mr. Lu, please bid 3.2 million gold coins. If no one raises the price after the nine bells ring, this batch of goods will belong to Mr. Lu."

Hearing this, Liang Chengshan smiled "hehe", looked towards the wing where Xu Taiping and the others were, and said:

"Lu Bugong, please be happy for a while, and soon I will let you taste the taste of losing both life and wealth again."

…

"when!……"

In the wing where Xu Taiping and others were, as the second bell rang, the expressions on the faces of everyone in the wing became extremely serious.

Lu BuGong is naturally the wife in the cage.

Xu Taiping, on the other hand, was waiting for the reply from the Ghost Lord, the Demon Emperor Yangling.

"when!"

"Xu Taiping."

Almost at the same time as the third bell sounded, the voice of Demon Emperor Yangling entered Xu Taiping’s mind——

"Chu Lingyue's intuition is correct. There is indeed something wrong with the ice soul stone on the stage."

"In other words, there are problems with the ice soul stones in the current Tianwai Secret Realm."

After suppressing the excitement in his heart, Xu Taiping sent a message to the Yangling Demon Emperor and asked:

"what is the problem?"

Demon Emperor Yangling replied:

"After a Demon King from the Third Demonic Abyss was beheaded by your human monks in the Secret Realm of Outer Heaven, when his demon seed was shattered, it contaminated all the ice soul stones in the Secret Realm of Outer Heaven."

"So those strong men from your human race destroyed all the ice soul stones outside the sky."

"But even so, there are still a few parts left in the secret realm outside the sky."

"It's just that with the death of those powerful human monks, this secret gradually became unknown."

Xu Taiping was shocked when he heard this.

He didn't expect that the Ice Soul Stone in the secret realm outside the sky actually had such a past.

However, his immediate priority is to know how to confirm this.

So he immediately sent a message to Demon Emperor Yangling:

"Is there any way to prove this using this ice soul stone?"

If you can prove that the ice soul stone was contaminated by the Demon King's demon seed, you can file compensation with Qianshufang.

After all, counterfeit ice stones are only for making money, but ice stones contaminated by demon seeds can be fatal!
