Mortal Bones

"I'll open the door."

The sensible Lu Wen stood up and wanted to open the door.

"No need, Master Chongde and I have made an appointment to go to the city to meet an old friend today."

Xu Taiping patted Lu Wen on the shoulder.

After saying that, he walked quickly to the door and opened the courtyard door.

As early as yesterday, he had made an appointment with Chongde to go to Shiyi Zhai to buy some things together today.

"Amitabha, Taiping Benefactor, the carriage is ready, we can leave for the Shilizhai."

Chongde stood at the door and looked at Xu Taiping with a smile on his face.

At this moment, he seemed to be a different person, looking at Xu Taiping with flattering eyes.

Obviously, he should have been taught another lesson by Abbot Guangze last night.

"Master Chongde is here to help you."

Xu Taiping smiled and nodded.

…

Shilizhai.

"Heavenly Protector... Taiping Benefactor, I would like to ask, is this really your first time coming to Shilizhai?"

Seeing Xu Taiping, who was picking out medicinal materials, elixirs and talismans with ease in the Scavenging Room, Monk Chongde looked surprised.

"It's really not the first time."

Xu Taiping handed a gold coin to the shopkeeper in front of him who was collecting the money, and then put all the medicinal materials on the counter into the gourd.

They are now on the second floor of Shiyi Zhai. Although the medicinal materials inside are of very low grade, it is still enough for Xu Taiping to refine the Qi Gathering Pill.

"Not...the first time?"

Monk Chongde looked stunned.

Xu Taiping did not need to explain at all. He had already made more than a dozen inferences in his mind for the words Xu Taiping had just said casually, and informed Guangze, the abbot of Prajna Temple, of these inferences in detail.

"Hey, Mr. Qi Yu Qi, just say hello if you need anything. There is no need to come to the door in person."

At this time, the shopkeeper on the second floor suddenly walked out from behind the counter and personally greeted a young man who had just gone upstairs.

Xu Taiping raised his head and looked at the young master, then frowned and said in his heart: "Sister Lingyue, in the scene I saw with my left eye, this is the one who led the people to intercept and kill me."

"That's a coincidence. You can find a way to get closer to him later. I'll leave a mark of the soul on him. When the time comes, I will be able to sense any changes he makes."

Fairy Lingyue smiled.

I have to say that after knowing everything in advance, it will be much easier to do things.

But it was a pity that apart from this fatal disaster, his left eye could only deduce fragmentary images of the other six fatal disasters.

"Taiping Benefactor, this Young Master Qi Yu is the eldest son of the Qi Family, the third family of Southern Chu. As expected, he will participate in the Golden Scales Meeting seven years from now."

Seeing Xu Taiping staring at Qi Yu, Chongde immediately stepped forward to explain to Xu Taiping.

Xu Taiping nodded slightly.

"Let's go to the third floor and have a look."

As he spoke, he also walked towards the stairs to the third floor.

In the picture he saw with his left eye, he did have an encounter with Qi Yu on the third floor that day, but Xu Taiping at the time had no idea that he would ask someone to intercept him later.

"Hey, this is what our young master likes, why do you take it away?"

As soon as they reached the third floor, Xu Taiping heard the quarrel.

When he looked up, he saw a young maid with delicate features, clutching a fiery red stone and refusing to let go.

Beside the little girl, there was a young man with fair skin and extremely handsome face.

The one who snatched the fiery red stone from the little maid's hand was one of the other men of the eldest son of the Qi family.

"Bring it to you!"

The eldest son of the Qi family used his true energy to kick the little maid hard.

With a "bang" sound, the little maid's protective body was kicked to pieces, and her body was kicked back several steps. The fire-red stone was also released at once.

Xu Taiping was very impressed by the scene before him.

Because among the pictures he saw with his left eye, there was this scene.

"The thing that these two people are fighting for is called the Red Flame Stone, which is collected from the red pearls in the wild. It is said that when the Red Pearl Kingdom was destroyed, the then Red Pearl Emperor wanted to prevent the treasures in the palace from falling into the hands of the enemy. The great supernatural power melted the Red Flame Mountain in the Red Pearl Kingdom, and then used the melted magma to seal all these treasures."

"So if you are lucky, some of the Scarlet Flame Stones can contain treasures from the Scarlet Pearl Kingdom."

"But this thing is just a bet. If you don't open the Red Flame Stone, no one will know what's inside."

Seeing that Xu Taiping seemed to be interested in the red flame stone, Chongde immediately explained it to him.

Xu Taiping naturally knew the origin of this stone.

Not only did he know its origin, but he also knew that the red flame stone inside could really unlock treasures.

After all, in the picture in his left eye, he had been waiting here for almost an hour waiting for Chongde to get the qualification to enter the auction house.

At least watch them drive hundreds of stones.

"Give me back the stone, which our young master took a long time to pick!"

At this time, the little maid who had just fought with Qi Yu for the stone climbed up from the ground with a stubborn look on her face and rushed towards Qi Yu again, trying to snatch the red flame stone from Qi Yu's hand.

"Xiao Qing!"

When the maid's son saw this, he grabbed her and then comforted her softly:

"Forget it, I just randomly picked a stone and wanted to open it and have a look. If he wants it, let him take it."

Hearing this, the Qi family's men burst into laughter.

In their eyes, this young master's magnanimity was nothing but weakness.

"This is Shiyizhai, not your home. If you don't pick it, it's yours!"

At this time, Qi Yu smiled coldly at the young man in green.

The little maid wanted to refute, but was stopped by the young man again.

"Little girl, the stone just now is much worse than this one. Why don't you try this one with your young master?"

Just when the two were about to leave, a young man suddenly stood in front of them with a piece of red flame stone in his hand and said to them with a smile.

This young man was naturally Xu Taiping.
