Immediately, everyone saw that in a huge golden birdcage, there was standing a woman with silver hair and an extremely beautiful appearance.
After the black cloth was revealed, the woman’s face turned blood red instantly, and her eyes were filled with expressions of shame and anger.
Amidst the sounds of surprise, Shopkeeper Yuan introduced to everyone：
“This woman is already married, but there is a trace of the bloodline of the ancient divine beast Nine-Tailed Spirit Fox in her body. When it is difficult for me to break through and make progress in cultivation, she can help you break through the bottleneck.”
As soon as these words were spoken, there was another uproar on the field.
Shopkeeper Yuan then continued to say：
As for whether it will be pursued by the immortal alliances of various mansions, you don’t have to worry gentlemen. This woman voluntarily sells herself to save her husband, and the immortal alliance will not interfere.”
When he finished saying these words, a burst of laughter suddenly rang out on the field.
Because they had already guessed the identity of the owner behind this batch of goods, as well as the identities of this woman and her husband.
After all, the deeds of that Young Master Liang, who deceived Lu Bugong into dissipating his family fortune and gambling away his wife and children, had long been the talk of the streets and alleys in Old Dragon City.
……
“I deserve to die！”
“Deserve to die！”
“Deserve to die！”
In the box where Xu Taiping was located, Lu Bugong looked at his wife who was locked in a cage on the stage listening to the continuous taunts and jeers coming from the spiritual mirror in front of him. The aura around Lu Bugong was chaotic, and he was completely in a state of mental breakdown.
The moment the sparrow cage appeared, Xu Taiping and Lu Bugong had already guessed that the owner of the second batch of goods to be auctioned by Thousand Trees Workshop was that Liang Chengshan.
And after seeing this scene, the host of Yizhu Tower said nothing, just quietly observing from the rear.
Recently, he was entangled with various affairs. In fact, at the beginning he didn’t quite understand why Lu Bugong showed such a expression. It was after communicating with the shopkeeper of Yizhu Tower through sound transmission that he learned about the matter of Lu Bugong selling his wife.
Just when Lu Bugong’s mind was about to collapse Xu Taiping turned his head to look at Lu Bugong and then said expressionlessly:
“You deserve to die, but not now.”
Just one sentence made the chaotic aura around Lu Bugong show signs of calming down, and his eyes gradually regained their luster.
Xu Taiping looked at that Lu Bugong and continued：
“Your wife has endured humiliation and lived well until now for you and Tingyun. What right do you have to die？”
These words made Lu Bugong feel as if he had been struck by lightning, and he stood there in a daze.
“Young master, as long as you can save my wife, I, Lu Bugong, am willing to serve you as a cow or a horse for the rest of my life.”
Lu Bugong plopped knelt down in front of Xu Taiping.
He knew very well that the only one who could save his wife now was Xu Taiping.
At the same time, Shopkeeper Yuan’s voice rang out again——
“The starting price of this celestial-grade Ice Soul Stone for this auction is one million gold essence coins, and the price increase is ten thousand gold essence coins each time. Gentlemen, you can start bidding.”
As soon as the words fell, the sound of bidding kept ringing in the spirit mirror.
In just a short moment, the price of the Ice Soul Stone had already been bid up 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 celestial-grade Ice Soul Stone is rare enough, there are still people who are willing to buy it at a high price.
“Young master.”
Seeing the price getting higher and higher, Lu Bugong looked at Xu Taiping with a pleading expression on his face.
Xu Taiping didn’t speak, but was quickly calculating something in his heart.
Seeing Xu Taiping’s silence, Fairy Lingyue thought he was in a dilemma, so she Sound transmission and reminded him:
“Taiping, there is something wrong with this Ice Soul Stone. If you only film it for that woman, the risk will be very high.”
Xu Taiping replied via voice transmission：
“Sister Lingyue, don’t worry. I’ve thought of a way.”
In the astonished gaze of Fairy Lingyue, Xu Taiping suddenly turned his head and looked at the owner of Yizhu Tower aside and said：
“Shopkeeper Kong, if one buys a fake item in Qianshu Square, will Qianshu Square really compensate？”
The owner of Yizhu Tower nodded and said： “As long as you can prove that it is fake, Qianshu Square will definitely compensate. It won’t smash its own signboard.”
Xu Taiping nodded.
Then, he was seen throwing a hundred gold essence coins towards the spirit mirror in front of him, and then shouted to Shopkeeper Yuan on the stage：
“Lu Bugong, Mr. Lu, bid two million and one hundred thousand gold essence coins.”
As soon as these words came out, a burst of immediately rang out around the venue.
No one expected that they would hear the name “Lu Bugong” here today.
Not only them, but also Lu Bugong himself in the wing and the owner of the Yizhu Tower also had surprised expressions on their faces.
Lu Bugong asked Xu Taiping in surprise：
“Sir, why are you using my name? Isn’t this exposing me?”
Xu Taiping’s gaze was tightly on the spirit mirror in the front of him, and he said without looking back:
“I’m not afraid. What are you afraid of？”
Lu Bugong was stunned for a moment, and then a sudden realization appeared on his face. Immediately, he transmitted his voice to Xu Taiping and said：
“Young master, you deliberately provoked that Liang Chengshan so that he would come to your door on his own after the pawnshop meeting is over！”
Xu Taiping did not answer.
While continuing to bid with the spiritual mirror, he transmitted a voice to the Spirit Moon Fairy, who was also very surprised at the moment, saying：
“Sister Spirit Moon, help me ask the Ghost Lord about this Ice Soul Stone. If it’s him, he will definitely know something.”
Upon hearing this, the Spirit Moon Fairy was suddenly awakened.
The Ghost Lord’s original magic seed power is “Knowing Destiny”. As long as he pays enough power, he can know everything that has happened in the world in the past.
The Spirit Moon Fairy immediately replied：
“I’ll help you ask right away！”
Although she knew that asking the Ghost Lord a question would cost more than one hundred thousand gold essence coins, if she could really find out the problem with the Ice Soul Stone, not to mention one hundred thousand, even one million would be worth spending.
After all, Qianshu Workshop had long promised that once the goods were fake, not only would the goods be taken away and the principal returned, but they would also compensate the customer with half of the original price in gold essence coins.
……
“Lu Bugong bids two million six hundred thousand gold essence coins. Is there any other guest who wants to increase the price？”
“If no one increases the price, this Ice Soul Stone and this lady will belong to this guest, Lu Bugong.”
“Puchi！…”
In a Room of the North Building of the pawnshop meeting Liang Chengshan finally couldn’t help but laugh out loud after hearing Shopkeeper Yuan’s two shouts.
An elderly man with a pockmarked face standing beside Liang Chengshan, with his hands behind his back, looked at the spirit mirror in front of him with great curiosity and said：
“I wonder where this Lu Bugong found this patsy who is actually willing to pay this sum of refined gold money for him.”
Liang Chengshan stretched lazily and said, “It must be the disciple of some hidden sect. He has some chivalrous heart and wants to fight for justice for this Lu Bugong.”
The pockmarked old man said with a somewhat cautious expression：
“Young master, if it is really the disciple of a certain hidden sect or aristocratic family, we may have to be more careful.”
Liangchengshan stood up indifferently and said：
“No matter where he comes from, as long as he arrives at the Dry Stone Sea, he has to abide by the rules of our Dry Stone Sea.”
Having said this, he looked at the pockmarked elder with a smile and continued：
“The rules of the Dry Stone Sea are the rules of our Biyou Palace, the rules of my uncle, and the rules of the Green Pupil Evil Monarch.”
The pockmarked old man laughed “haha” when he heard this, and then nodded and said：
“What the young master said is right. Whether he is a disciple of a hidden sect or a noble family, in the Dead Stone Sea, our Green Tour Palace has the final say.”
Liang Chengshan suddenly reached out and touched his chin at this time, then the corner of his mouth hooked up, and a cunning smile appeared on his face and said：
“Old Liu, if I make them lose everything after they shoot the Ice Soul Stone and that bitch, how desperate the Lu Bugong family will be.”
“That noble son is also, clearly doing a good deed, but in the end, he didn’t wait for a good reward.”
“He should also go crazy, right？”
When he said this, Liang Chengshan, whose face was full of crazy expressions, suddenly took out a scarlet token from his arms.
Then, Liang Chengshan looked at the token and continued to say：
“After sucking up all the despair, pain, helplessness and other evil thoughts on the two of them, my Divine Order should also be upgraded. Maybe even a cultivator of the Heaven-shocking Realm can be summoned.”
The pockmarked old man on the side had a bright light in his eyes and smiled distortedly, continuously praising：
“Young Master, great talent！”
Just as they were talking, the bell of the pawnshop rang “dong”.
Then, only the voice of Shopkeeper Yuan was heard loudly saying：
“Mr. Lu, the bid is three million two hundred thousand gold essence coins. If no one bids higher after nine bells ring, this batch of goods will belong to Mr. Lu.”
Hearing this, Liang Chengshan “he he” laughed and looked at the side room where Xu Taiping and the others were located, saying:
“Lu Bugong, you can be happy for a while first. Soon, this young master will make you taste the taste of losing both people and wealth again.”
……
“Dong！ ……”
In the side room where Xu Taiping and the others were as the second bell rang the expressions on the faces of everyone in the box became extremely serious.
Naturally, Lu Bugong was because of his wife in the cage.
And Xu Taiping was waiting for the answer from the Ghost Lord, that is, the Yangling Demon Emperor.
“Dang！”
“Xu Taiping.”
Almost at the same time as the third bell rang, the voice of the Yangling Demon Emperor entered Xu Taiping’s mind——
“Chu Lingyue’s first perception is correct. There is indeed a problem with the Ice Soul Stone on the stage.”
“Or rather, all the Ice Soul Stones in the Outer Heaven Secret Realm now have problems.”
After suppressing the excitement in his heart, Xu Taiping transmitted his voice to the Yangling Demon Emperor and asked：
“What problem？”
The Yangling Demon Emperor replied：
“After a Demon Emperor in the Third Demon Abyss was killed by your human cultivators in the Outer Heaven Secret Realm, when his demon seed was shattered, it contaminated all the Ice Soul Stones in the Outer Heaven Secret Realm.”
“So those few powerful human cultivators destroyed all the Ice Soul Stones outside the sky.”
“But even so, there are still a small number left in the Outer Heaven Secret Realm.”
“Just with the fall of those few powerful human cultivators, this secret has gradually become unknown to anyone.”
Upon hearing this, Xu Taiping’s heart was horrified.
He didn’t expect that the Ice Soul Stone in the Outer Heaven Secret Realm would actually have such a past.
However, his top priority at the moment is to know how to verify this matter.
So he immediately transmitted a voice to Emperor Yangling Demon again and said：
“Is there any way to prove this matter with this Ice Soul Stone？”
If it can be proved that this Ice Soul Stone has been contaminated by the Demon Emperor’s Demon Seed, compensation can be demanded from Thousand Tree Workshop.
After all, counterfeiting the Ice Soul Stone only seeks wealth, but the Ice Soul Stone contaminated by the Demon Seed can be life-threatening！
