“Dang！ ……”
With the ringing of the ninth bell, the price of this second batch of goods was fixed at three million two hundred thousand gold essence coins.
Shopkeeper Yuan of Thousand Tree Workshop then announced to the crowd with a smile on his face：
“Congratulations to Mr. Lu Bugong for this Ice Soul Stone with three million two hundred thousand gold essence coins!”
Although the Ice Soul Stone is precious, the quantity is ultimately only such a small piece. Selling it for three million two hundred thousand gold essence coins is already a great profit.
Even in the eyes of Shopkeeper Yuan, if it weren’t for that woman, it would be difficult for this Ice Soul Stone to sell for three million gold essence coins.
So as he happily walked towards the stage, he separately separately a voice to the wing where Lu Bugong was located and said:
“Mr. Lu Bugong, put three million two hundred thousand gold essence coins into the spiritual mirror in front of you, and then you can come down and take away your goods.”
However, to Shopkeeper Yuan’s surprise, Lu Bugong didn’t Sound transmission directly to him alone. Instead, he used the spirit mirror to shout to the entire venue for the first time and said, “Shopkeeper Yuan, please stay.
Shopkeeper Yuan stopped in his tracks.
Lu Bugong： “Three million two hundred thousand gold essence coins, I have already put all of them into the spirit mirror. But please Shopkeeper Yuan leave the Ice Soul Stone on the stage first.”
Shopkeeper Yuan took a look at the spirit mirror in his hand and found that the gold essence coins were indeed all there.
Since the money had already been received, there was nothing to worry about. He thought in his heart：
”This is Thousand Trees Workshop, and there is no rule of returning goods after the purchase is confirmed.”
So he stopped his subordinates who were about to move the Ice Soul Stone, and then looked up at the box where Xu Taiping and the others were with a smile and said, May I ask what instructions does Mr. Lu have?
Lu Bugong: “Shopkeeper Yuan, before taking away the goods, I want to identify the authenticity of this Ice Soul Stone again.”
Shopkeeper Yuan, who originally thought that Lu Bugong was going to return the goods, suddenly felt relieved after hearing this and thought:
A mere Soul Stone, could it be that the elder of our Thousand Trees Workshop can identify it wrong?
Immediately, he cupped his hands again and shouted towards the side room where Xu Taiping was located:
“Mr. Lu, please rest assured. As long as there are fakes among the goods in Qianshufang, not only will the obtained gold essence money be returned in full, but also an additional sum of gold essence money will be compensated to the customer. So it is not too late to appraise after the pawnshop meeting ends.”
Seeing that Lu Bugong didn’t respond, Shopkeeper Yuan immediately added another sentence：
“If the gentleman insists on appraising at this moment, in order not to delay the next auction, I can only give you the time of a cup of tea.”
Lu Bugong Sound transmission replied：
“The time of a cup of tea is enough.”
Seeing that Lu Bugong insisted, Shopkeeper Yuan didn’t persuade anymore. Immediately, he cupped his hands and said：
“Since this is the case, how does Mr. Lu want to identify? Please make it clear.”
……
“Young master, do you really have a way？”
In the side room, listening to the urging sound coming from the spirit mirror, Lu Bugong looked at Xu Taiping eagerly.
Xu Taiping nodded and said： “Don’t worry.”
Saying that, he walked straight to the side of the spirit mirror. While looking at Shopkeeper Yuan, he Sound transmission to him through the spirit mirror：
“Shopkeeper Yuan, my method of identification is very simple. Just take a fairy-grade true fire talisman and burn it.”
As soon as these words came out, not only was there an uproar on the field, but also the people in the room had a look of Confused.
The host of Yizhu Building reminded Xu Taiping：
“Young Master Wuyou, before the raw Ice Soul Stone is engraved with runes and forged, not to mention a Immortal-grade True Fire Talisman, even if it is burned with a Yellow-grade True Fire Talisman, it will be burned into a cloud of water vapor.”
While the owner of Yizhu Building was reminding Xu Taiping, the taunting shouts of other guests also kept ringing in the spirit mirror——
“Kid, if you regret it, just say it first and don’t make a fool of yourself here.”
“If you don’t want to pay just three million gold essence coins, don’t think about showing off and being a chivalrous man. Get out of here as soon as possible and don’t delay us from doing business here.”
“Using a True Fire Talisman to identify the authenticity of the Ice Soul Stone, such a ridiculous thing under the sun, I have never heard of it before.”
“……”
However, Xu Taiping remained completely unmoved in the face of these taunts and still had a calm expression.
This made the owner of Yizhu Building, who was observing secretly from the side and thought in his heart:
“Leaving aside this stupid idea of using the True Fire to identify the Ice Soul Stone, the calmness of this son’s mind is indeed far beyond that of his peers.”
Before long, the voice of Shopkeeper Yuan sounded, overwhelming this wave of skepticism:
“Young Master, the raw Ice Soul Stone will melt when it encounters fire, not to mention the True Fire. Do you really want to use this method to identify it?”
After all, since Xu Taiping was both the seller and the buyer, Qianshu Square still had to give him some face.
Upon hearing this, Xu Taiping replied in a calm yet firm tone：
“Thank you, Shopkeeper Yuan.”
As soon as these words were spoken, the smiling face of Shopkeeper Yuan on the stage immediately collapsed, and he thought to himself：
“Which family’s silly brat is this? He won’t come down even when given a step.”
So, feeling that he had done his best, he no longer wasted words and immediately nodded to Xu Taiping and said：
“Alright, since the young master insists, then our Thousand Tree Workshop will do as you say.”
When he said this, he paused for a moment and then continued：
“However, before using the Immortal-grade True Fire Talisman, our Thousand Tree Workshop has to try it with an ordinary True Fire Talisman first. If this Ice Soul Stone can withstand the True Fire Talisman without melting, then we will consider using the Immortal-grade True Fire Talisman for a try.”
“Otherwise, 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 a calm expression all along, suddenly frowned when he heard these words.
Seeing this, the host of Yizhu Tower thought to himself： “Sure enough, he is still afraid.”
But how could he know that Xu Taiping was not afraid that the Ice Soul Stone would be destroyed, but was worried about the safety of Shopkeeper Yuan and the others.
Xu Taiping frowned stared at the True Fire Talisman that was being handed to him by his subordinate and muttered in his heart:
“Ghost Lord senior, if the Immortal-grade True Fire Talisman is replaced with an ordinary True Fire Talisman, will people really die？”
The Ghost Lord replied, “Although the remaining breath of the Demon Emperor’s demonic seed in this Ice Soul Stone is not much, it is impossible to burn it completely with ordinary true fire. Instead, it will only anger it. Only the immortal-grade true fire can restrain it for a while.”
”However, you don’t have to worry too much.”
”The number of great cultivators in this venue at this moment is such that even if the real Demon Emperor were to come, he would tremble three times, not to mention a wisp of remnant soul.”
After getting the confirmation from the Yangling Demon Emperor, Xu Taiping seriously thought about it for a while, and then shouted to the Elder Yuan,
”Shopkeeper Yuan, after lighting the True Fire Talisman, try to stay away from the Ice Soul Stone as much as possible to prevent unexpected changes.”
This reminder was Xu Taiping’s last kindness to the Thousand Trees Workshop.
As for whether this Shopkeeper Yuan could listen to it, he couldn’t care less.
Upon hearing this, Elder Yuan was stunned for a moment, and then he smiled and cupped his hands towards Xu Taiping and said,
”Thank you, Young Master, for the reminder.”
Although this Shopkeeper Yuan didn’t take Xu Taiping’s words too seriously, out of respect for the customer, he still chose to stick the True Fire Talisman on the Ice Soul Stone in advance, and then slowly moved away from the Ice Soul Stone, preparing to retreat to a certain distance and then use his soul to ignite the True Fire Talisman.
And some of the onlookers were not as polite as Shopkeeper Yuan.
After hearing Xu Taiping’s reminder to Shopkeeper Yuan, they sneered again.
In their opinion, Xu Taiping was either being mysterious on purpose or making a mountain out of a molehill.
