Mortal Bones

"Could it be said that Liantong has deduced Brother Xiang and Sister Haitang at this time, and will encounter a dead end next?"

When he thought that this was just Liantong's deduction, Xu Taiping breathed a sigh of relief.

According to his understanding of Liantong's power of deduction, even if the deduction reaches a dead end, he can still find a solution.

So Xu Taiping calmed down again and continued to look back.

"Um?"

And just when the skinny old Taoist dragged the two corpses to the alchemy furnace, he suddenly seemed to sense something and let out a loud sound of surprise. Then he slowly turned his head, his eyes filled with doubts. staring back.

I don’t know if it was Xu Taiping’s misunderstanding.

Xu Taiping always felt that the eyes of the old Taoist with white beard and hair seemed to have discovered him who was paying attention to all this through the soul mark of his lotus eyes.

Just when Xu Taiping was puzzled, the next words of the skinny old Taoist made his hair stand on end -

"Little guy, if you continue to stare at me without saying a word, it would be a bit rude."

At this moment, Xu Taiping was extremely convinced——

"That old man can see me!"

What a terrifying existence this veteran must be who can see himself through the soul mark deduced by the power of great deduction?

But after the old Taoist said these words, the picture in the soul mark suddenly shattered with a "pop" like broken glass.

Just when Xu Taiping thought that this divine soul mark would disappear, the old Taoist's voice sounded again:

"Little guy, with such a poor cultivation level, you still dare to spy on me in the long river of time?"

At the same time, I saw a big hand as skinny as a claw, suddenly stretched out from the broken scene, and then shook it hard.

"Buzz buzz..."

The next moment, amid a trembling sound of soul, Xu Taiping saw with a look of disbelief that the originally fragmented deduction scene was restored to its original state with such a grip of that huge hand.

Dilapidated palace.

Towering alchemy furnace.

Daylight shines through the broken cracks in the window.

There was also the old Taoist who was dragging the bodies of Haitang and his wife.

Nothing changes.

The old Taoist, just like before, looked directly at Xu Taiping through the soul mark screen.

An invisible coercion poured into this dilapidated but huge alchemy like sea water, so much pressure that Xu Taiping felt as if he was at the bottom of the sea, and he began to feel suffocated and faint.

Just a burst of pressure, and even after a period of time, can make Xu Taiping, who is now in the shocking state, feel like he is on the verge of death, which fully shows how terrifying this old Taoist is.

Xu Taiping, whose chest heaved violently and cold sweat broke out on his forehead, tried to ask the old Taoist in his heart:

"Old seniors, juniors, juniors don't mean any harm."

As soon as these words came out, the pressure that suffocated Xu Taiping quickly receded like a tide.

After realizing that the pressure had dissipated, Xu Taiping was immediately shocked and said:

"He can actually hear my voice!"

Then, the old Taoist nodded with a cold face and said:

"What does it have to do with me whether you have any ill intentions or not?"

As he said that, the old Taoist looked back at the alchemy furnace, and then continued:

"I just happen to be short of some new firewood."

As he said that, he reached out and grabbed Xiang Nantian's body again, preparing to throw it towards the alchemy furnace.

When Xu Taiping saw this scene, even though he knew that this was just a scene deduced by a large-scale deduction, Xiang Nantian and Qi Haitang were right in front of him at this moment, but he still couldn't help blurting out and calling out to the old Taoist:

"Old senior, if you want new firewood, I can chop it for you!"

Hearing this, the old Taoist suddenly became interested, threw away Xiang Nantian's body, crossed his arms and asked Xu Taiping curiously:

"My furnace of elixirs cannot be used with ordinary firewood. What are you going to give me in exchange for it?"

Xu Taiping's mind was spinning rapidly.

He thought to himself, since this old Taoist can use the corpses of Brother Xiang and Sister Haitang as firewood, it means that the firewood in his mouth must be the powerful flesh and blood of monks or monsters.

Upon thinking of this, Xu Taiping immediately asked tentatively:

"Old senior, I can, I can give you the body of a Demon King-level monster, or a Yin God!"

The old Taoist frowned and said:

"A demon king-level monster? What is that? Yin Shen? It's too dirty. That thing will dirty my alchemy furnace. No, no, no."

As he said that, the old Taoist was a little disappointed and said:

"I think you are capable of spying on me in the long river of time. Unexpectedly, you are also a waste."

Upon hearing this, Xu Taiping's heart suddenly tightened.

He had a hunch that the current conversation between him and the old Taoist might be the key to solving the deadlock between Qi Haitang and Xiang Nantian.

And just as Xu Taiping's mind was spinning rapidly, a name suddenly appeared in his mind -

"Dragon Slaying Club."

So he blurted out:

"A real dragon, a real dragon's flesh and bones!"

As soon as he said this, the old Taoist's eyes suddenly lit up.

Then I saw him licking his lips with a burning face and saying:

"If you can really get me real dragon bones and meat, when these two break into my Tushita Palace, I can save their lives for one more year."

Xu Tianping immediately shook his head and said:

"Twenty years, at least twenty years!"

The Dragon Slaying Meeting will be held in five years, which means that even if Xu Taiping successfully wins the Dragon Slaying Meeting, it will take at least five years to get the real dragon flesh and bones.

So one year is impossible.

The old Taoist snorted coldly and said:

"Ten years."

The old Taoist added coldly:

"If you bargain with me again, our deal will be void!"

Although ten years is still very tight, after noticing the old Taoist's anger, Xu Taiping finally gritted his teeth and agreed:

"Deal!"

When the old Taoist heard Xu Taiping's "deal", he, who had been frowning all the time, suddenly laughed out loud:

"How many years, one hundred thousand years? One million years?"

"I didn't expect that I could actually make a deal with an ordinary person. Interesting, interesting."

As he spoke, the picture in the soul mark transformed by Xu Taiping's power of deduction began to shatter again with a "crackling" sound.

However, just as the picture was shattering rapidly, the old Taoist's voice sounded again:

"Little guy, if you dare to break your promise, I will wipe you out directly from the long river of time!"

As soon as the voice fell, the picture in front of him shattered completely with a "bang".

At this time, Lian Tong's voice sounded again:

"Xu Taiping, don't be threatened by him. If he really has this method, why would he trade with you?"

Xu Taiping responded:

"I understand, but the fact that this old Taoist can see me from the soul mark of the great deduction power is enough to show that his cultivation must have reached an extremely terrifying level."

"If he can keep his promise, it would be a good way to help Sister Haitang and Brother Xiang get through the dead end."

Lian Tong said "um" and didn't say anything else.

Obviously, he also agreed with Xu Taiping's statement.

"Hiss..."

"Huh..."

At this time, Xu Taiping took a deep breath, then slowly exhaled, and then opened his eyes again.

Seeing this, Xiang Nantian and Qi Haitang, who looked anxious, stepped forward immediately.

However, because of Xu Taiping's previous words, the two did not get too close, but asked from a distance:

"Taiping, what exactly happened just now?"

It was Qi Haitang who asked this question.
