Mortal bone

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

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

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

Over the Dry Stone Sea.

Xu Taiping sat on Bai Yu's back, the jade slip in his hand lit up from time to time, and Mu Yun's sound 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 dry stone sea below with a serious face, and shouted at him.

"What's the matter, son?"

Lu Bugong immediately withdrew his gaze from the ground, and turned to look at Xu Taiping behind him.

"Did you know that the old dragon court recently offered a reward of one million gold and fine money to find the corpse of the yellow dog demon?"

Xu Taiping asked Lu Bugong.

"I did hear about it."

Lu Bugong thought about it carefully, then nodded and said.

"It's just a demon corpse, why is there such a high price for it?"

Xu Taiping asked curiously.

"My son, you don't know that the corpses of the demon species in the dry stone sea have always been very valuable. And this yellow dog demon species is the most powerful demon species among the monsters that have been beheaded recently. It's normal to offer a high price for it."

Lu Bugong replied.

"Why is this?"

Xu Taiping was a little puzzled.

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

"Because a long time ago, some monks discovered that some spiritual grasses and trees that only grow in the sea of ​​dry stones grow very quickly after being irrigated with fertilizer made from demon corpses. After planting the fertilizer made from corpses, it only needs to be grown for one year to have ten-year potency. This is why there are often centuries-old, thousand-year or even ten-thousand-year medicines in the dry stone sea.”

Lu Bugong replied.

"They actually used the corpses of the demon seeds as fertilizer?"

Xu Taiping said in surprise.

He used to only know that the corpse of a demon seed could be used as a material for casting swords, but he never thought that the fertilizer made from it could also be used to water spirit grass and spirit wood.

"Taiping, ask this Lu Bugong if he knows exactly when Kushihai began to use the corpses of demon seeds as fertilizer."

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

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

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

"Calculated from this time, there are not ten thousand years, but seven or eight thousand years, maybe earlier than I know."

Lu Bugong thought about it seriously, and then replied.

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

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

"Taiping, have you noticed that the time when Kushihai used the demon seeds as fertilizer was after the tenth 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, the matter of using the corpse of a demon seed as fertilizer to irrigate spiritual grass has never appeared in the Shangqing Realm."

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

"Irrespective of whether this matter has anything to do with the demon species of the Tenth Demon Abyss, at least the fact that the yellow dog's corpse is worth millions of gold coins can be confirmed."

After Xu Taiping spoke to Fairy Lingyue in this way, he took out the jade slip from his sleeve and began to transmit to Muyun:

"Brother Muyun, the corpse of the yellow dog demon is indeed in my hands."

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

"Otherwise, I can only find a place to get rid of the corpse of this yellow dog demon."

Right now, he can't do without gold and fine money, whether it's buying the medicinal materials needed to refine the elixir that breaks through the realm, or spending on the lotus pupil seal and the portrait of ghosts and gods.

"Buzzing..."

Xu Taiping had just passed the sound transmission, when the Jade Jianjian in his hand trembled.

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

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

Just like before, Mu Yun, who was rich and powerful, was so excited that he only used this jade slip to send such a short sentence.

But Xu Taiping, who had already gotten used to it, just held the jade slip with no expression on his face, quietly waiting for Muyun's next words.

Soon, Mu Yun's voice came to Xu Taiping's mind again through the sound transmission jade slip——

"Brother Taiping, I just asked Elder Lou who is in charge of Kushihai affairs. Although there is no one in Guangling Pavilion at the old Longting, the owner of the Pearl Tower in Old Longting is a close friend of our Elder Lou. Send the yellow dog's body to Yizhulou for inspection."

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

This time, Mu Yun finally finished what he was supposed to say in a sound transmission.

"Fellow Daoist Lu, have you ever heard of the Pearl Tower in the Old Dragon Court?"

Xu Taiping put down the jade slips, raised his head and asked Lu Bugong for advice.

"I've heard of it." Lu Bugong nodded, "Yizhulou is one of the largest pawn shops in the old Dragon Court. Although the landlord has a weird temper, he has a good character and never greedy for items sent by customers."

"Thank you."

After getting the confirmation, Xu Taiping immediately grasped the jade slip in his hand, and began to transmit sound to Muyun——

"Brother Muyun, for this corpse of the yellow dog demon, you can ask Yizhulou to give me 100 million gold and fine coins, and there is no need to increase the price."

The reason why he didn't use Muyun to increase the price was mainly because he wanted to repay the favor of the elder at the Guangling Pavilion that day when he crossed the sword in Tianxia.

"Since Brother Taiping is so forthright, then I don't want to talk nonsense, I will 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.

"Young Master, the Old Dragon Court is coming soon. If we don't walk on the ground, the monks below will think that we are provoking them, and they will attack us in groups."

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

Xu Taiping nodded upon hearing this, then lightly patted Bai Yu's back and said:

"Go down."

Immediately, there was only Bai Yu's cry, her wings shook suddenly, she lowered her body and swooped down.

"boom!……"

Amidst the ear-shattering sound of piercing the air, Xu Taiping who used his saber energy to break through the gale, only saw a bright bead appearing in the stone sea directly below them.
