Mortal Bones

"when!……"

As the ninth bell rang, the price of the second batch of goods was fixed at 3.2 million gold coins.

Shopkeeper Yuan Da from Qianshufang immediately announced to everyone with a smile on his face:

"Congratulations to Mr. Lu Bugong, for using 3.2 million gold coins to capture this ice soul stone!"

Although the ice soul stone is precious, there is only such a small piece in quantity. If it can be sold for 3.2 million gold, it is already a huge profit.

Even in the opinion of shopkeeper Yuan Da, if it weren't for that woman, it would be difficult to sell the ice soul stone for three million gold stones.

So he happily walked towards the audience, and at the same time transmitted a message to the side room where Lu Bugong was sitting alone:

"Mr. Lu Bugong, put 3.2 million gold coins into the spiritual mirror in front of you, and then you can come down and pick up your goods."

However, what surprised Shopkeeper Yuan Da was that Lu Bugong did not send a message to him alone, but directly used the spiritual mirror to shout to the entire venue: "Business Manager Yuan Da, please stay."

Shopkeeper Yuan Da stopped.

Lu Bugong: "I have put all the three million and two million gold coins into the spiritual mirror, but please ask shopkeeper Yuan Da to leave the ice soul stone on the stage first."

Shopkeeper Yuan Da glanced at the spiritual mirror in his hand and found that there was indeed a lot of gold coins.

Now that the money has been received, there is nothing to worry about, I thought:

"This is Qianshufang, and there is no rule about returning items after purchasing."

So he stopped his men who were about to move the ice stone, then looked up at the side room where Xu Taiping and the others were sitting with a smile and said, "May I ask Mr. Lu what your orders are?"

Lu Bugong: "Shop Manager Yuan, before taking away the goods, I want to verify the authenticity of this ice soul stone again."

Shopkeeper Yuan Da, who originally thought Lu Bugong was planning to return the goods, immediately felt relieved after hearing this and said to himself:

"It's just a piece of ice soul stone. How can we, the elders of Qianshufang, identify it wrong?"

Immediately, he held up his hands again, raised his head and said loudly to the side room where Xu Taiping was:

"Mr. Lu, please rest assured. As long as the goods from Qianshufang are fake, the original gold price will be given to the customer. The customer will also be compensated an additional gold price, so it is not too late to wait until the auction is over for appraisal."

Seeing that Lu Bugong didn't respond, shopkeeper Yuan Da immediately added:

"If sir insists on appraising it at this moment, in order not to delay the subsequent auction, I can only give you a cup of tea."

Lu BuGong’s voice transmission replied:

“One cup of tea is enough.”

Seeing Lu BuGong's insistence, shopkeeper Yuan Da stopped trying to persuade him and immediately cupped his hands and said:

"In this case, please explain how Mr. Lu wants to identify it."

…

"Sir, do you really have any idea?"

In the side room, listening to the urging sounds coming from the spiritual mirror, Lu Bugong looked at Xu Taiping eagerly.

Xu Taiping nodded and said, "Don't worry."

As he said that, he walked straight to the spiritual mirror, looked at shopkeeper Yuan Da, and at the same time transmitted a message to him through the spiritual mirror:

"Shopkeeper Yuan, my identification method is very simple. You only need to use an immortal true fire talisman to burn it."

As soon as this statement came out, not only the court was in an uproar, but even everyone in the wing looked puzzled.

The owner of Yi Zhu Tower reminded Xu Taiping:

"Master Wuyou, before the raw stone of the Ice Soul Stone is engraved with runes and forged, let alone the immortal true fire talisman, even if it is burned with the yellow-grade true fire talisman, it will be burned into a ball of water vapor."

When the owner of Yi Zhu Hall reminded Xu Tai, the sarcastic shouts of other guests kept ringing in the spiritual mirror——

"Boy, if you regret it, just say it. Don't embarrass yourself here."

"If you don't want to spend a mere three million gold, don't think about being a chivalrous person. Get out of here as soon as possible. Don't delay our business here."

"Using the True Fire Talisman to identify the authenticity of the Ice Soul Stone is such a ridiculous thing. This is the first time I have heard of it."

"..."

However, Xu Taiping was completely unmoved by the sarcasm and remained calm.

This made the owner of Yizhu Tower, who was secretly observing from the side, marveled and thought:

"Regardless of the bad idea of ​​using real fire to identify ice soul stones, this boy's calm nature is indeed far beyond that of his peers."

Not long after, shopkeeper Yuan Da’s voice rang out, overwhelming the voices of doubt:

"Sir, the original stone of the Ice Soul Stone will melt when exposed to fire, let alone real fire. You must use this method to identify it."

After all, Xu Taiping is both a seller and a buyer, so Qianshufang still has to give him some face.

Hearing this, Xu Taiping replied calmly but firmly:

"Thank you, shopkeeper Yuan."

As soon as these words came out, the smiling face of shopkeeper Yuan Da on the stage immediately collapsed and he said secretly:

"Whose stupid boy is this? He can't even step down."

Therefore, he felt that he was the most benevolent and righteous, and stopped talking nonsense. He immediately nodded to Xu Taiping and said:

"Forget it, since the young master insists, then I, Qianshufang, will do it."

When he said this, he paused for a moment, and then continued:

"But before using the Immortal True Fire Talisman, we at Qianshufang must first try it with the ordinary True Fire Talisman. If the Ice Soul Stone can encounter the True Fire Talisman without melting, we will consider using the Immortal True Fire Talisman." try."

"Otherwise, sir, not only will you lose an Immortal Grade Ice Soul Stone, but you will also have to pay for the Immortal Grade True Fire Talisman."

These words were actually a final warning to Xu Taiping.

Xu Taiping, who had always looked calm, suddenly frowned when he heard this.

Seeing this, the owner of Yizhu Tower on the side secretly said: "Sure enough, I'm still scared."

However, he didn’t know that Xu Taiping was not afraid of the destruction of the Ice Soul Stone, but was worried about the safety of the shopkeeper Yuan and others.

Xu Taiping frowned and stared at the True Fire Talisman that he was receiving from his subordinates, muttering in his heart:

"Ghost Lord, will it really kill people if you replace the Immortal True Fire Talisman with an ordinary True Fire Talisman?"

The Ghost Lord replied: "Although there is not much Demon Emperor's demonic aura remaining in this Ice Soul Stone, it is impossible to burn it out with ordinary True Fire alone. Instead, it will anger it. Only the Immortal True Fire can restrain it for a moment."

"But you don't have to worry too much."

"With the number of great cultivators in this venue at the moment, even if the real Demon Emperor came, he would tremble three times, not to mention a wisp of residual soul."

After getting the confirmation of the Yangling Demon Emperor, Xu Taiping thought about it seriously, and then shouted to the Great Elder Yuan:

"Manager Yuan, after lighting the True Fire Talisman, try to stay away from the Ice Soul Stone to prevent unexpected changes."

This reminder was Xu Taiping's last kindness to Qianshufang.

As for whether Manager Yuan could listen to it, he didn't care.

Elder Yuan was stunned for a moment after hearing this, then smiled and bowed to Xu Taiping and said:

"Thank you for your reminder, young master."

Although the shopkeeper Yuan did not take Xu Taiping's words too seriously, out of respect for the guests, he still chose to stick the True Fire Talisman on the Ice Soul Stone in advance, and then moved away from the Ice Soul Stone little by little, preparing to retreat to a certain distance before igniting the True Fire Talisman with his soul.

Some of the monks who were watching were not as polite as the shopkeeper Yuan.

After hearing Xu Taiping's reminder to the shopkeeper Yuan, there was another round of ridicule.

In their opinion, Xu Taiping was either deliberately making a mystery or making a fuss.
