Throwing thousands of people to feed the fish at once is indeed too big, even the Rare Treasures Fair has to be forcibly interrupted.
But there’s a saying that fits perfectly.
The most painful thing in the world is when a person dies but hasn’t spent all their money.
The most, most painful thing in the world is when a person hasn’t died yet, but their money is gone.
Little Li feels it’s necessary for the Lingxi Gate and Qiao Ziyu to experience this.
“Hehe…”
Li Mo revealed a desperately wicked smile.
“Young Hero Li, don’t do this, it’s so creepy. Throwing three thousand people into the sea to feed the fish is really not cool. How about we start with three hundred? Otherwise, we won’t have enough funds to continue…”
The second elder wiped the cold sweat from his forehead.
“Cough, I’ve caught a cold recently, my throat is a bit itchy.”
Li Mo put away his smile and looked at Lan Tian and Elder Qian: “Please lean in closer.”
After hearing his plan, Elder Qian gasped:
“Isn’t this too excessive? What if they don’t bite?”
“We can give them another tempting bait.”
Li Mo thought for a moment, took the pig’s trotter that Elder Qian had just finished gnawing on:
“For example, this.”
“What?”
A question mark appeared above Elder Qian’s head: “Does the Lingxi Gate have some kind of dog-like interest? This is just a common pig’s trotter, even gnawed over.”
“That’s not true. With a bit of effort, this can be the remains of a Body of Penetrating Mysteries!”
“??”
…
Inside and outside the Eastern Pearl Building, crowds still gathered.
The items displayed on the shelves and the jade walls reflecting light showed the shadows of spirit pearls floating with numbers, but these numbers were not static; they were dynamic.
If customers want to bargain, they can take a flying disc, throw it, and if it hits a certain number, they get a corresponding discount.
Indeed, someone just bargained away a precious ‘Deep Sea Silver’ at an extremely low price, causing everyone to look enviously.
However, when Qian Bufan placed a white bone, with faint golden bl**d flowing within, on the shelf, everyone’s expressions turned excited.
“The remains of a Body of Penetrating Mysteries condensed?!”
“A Body of Penetrating Mysteries is already powerful, what is this Body of Penetrating Mysteries?”
“This is your lack of knowledge, isn’t it? It’s just… um, that thing, forget it, those who understand know, those who don’t, I don’t want to explain. You only need to know it’s very powerful.”
“Really? Then why haven’t we heard of it before?”
Everyone looked at each other, feeling that the person who said it was powerful might only be because the price was very high.
“Brothers, you don’t know about this?”
Lan Tian, who placed the item on the shelf, blinked her clear eyes.
She looked innocent, and being looked at with the expression ‘you can’t be serious, big brother, you don’t even have this knowledge,’ who could admit they didn’t know anything?
This straightforward girl knew that saying she didn’t know would be embarrassing.
“It shouldn’t be. This thing is quite famous.”
Qian Bufan also showed a surprised expression.
For a while, everyone looked at each other, racking their brains, but couldn’t come up with a reason.
“Could it be… that mysterious item?”
Suddenly, a shocked voice came from the crowd, as if they had just sucked in a breath of cold air.
As everyone knows, Little Li is good at surprising passersby.
Even to avoid suspicion, he wore the Illusory Glass Gauze, changing his appearance, becoming a pure passerby.
Among the crowd, the disciples of the Lingxi Gate couldn’t help but be slightly stunned, looking at their young master.
“Hmm?”
The purple-robed youth Qiao Ziyu raised his eyebrows upon hearing this.
Then he heard the voice in the crowd say:
“The Body of Penetrating Mysteries, among many physical constitutions, belongs to the upper class, especially when combined with techniques, it is invincible, its power greatly increased, very powerful.”
Li Mo seemed to wear a mask but actually released his personality, speaking with conviction.
“This person has some knowledge…”
Qiao Ziyu nodded slightly, feeling quite pleased.
“But such a powerful physique also has a drawback, which is the separation of technique and martial arts. Although cultivating both is very powerful, a person’s energy is limited and cannot handle both.”
“Therefore, those who possess this physique often progress very slowly. Without martial arts, they cannot fully utilize the power of techniques, and without techniques, they waste their physical constitution, which is very contradictory.”
Of course, a young master of a major sect, only at the Fifth Stage of Inner Scenery.
Isn’t this slow?
“How could he know this?”
The disciples of the Lingxi Gate subconsciously looked at their young master again.
But they saw Qiao Ziyu straighten his body slightly.
Could it be… he was hit by the truth?
This matter is a secret within their sect, known by very few people.
“Young friend speaks well.”
Elder Qian nodded, with a proud look:
“The reason for the flaw is because heaven and earth have flaws. Before the true name of the Body of Penetrating Mysteries emerged, it was called the True Body of Penetrating Mysteries!”
“Now, what you see before you is the remains of a Body of Penetrating Mysteries at the Body Realm!”
Elder Qian turned around, crossed his arms behind his back, and spoke with a touch of emotion.
It seemed he had truly seen how glorious the Body of Penetrating Mysteries was in the past.
Fine.
Old Qian couldn’t hold it anymore, inwardly screaming for mercy.
Even with his thick skin, holding a pig’s trotter with special effects and spouting nonsense made him blush.
How did Li Mo manage to speak so convincingly, with such righteous words?
With this statement, the crowd erupted.
No one knew who started it, but someone did, and since you remained expressionless, everyone joined in.
“Yes, yes, I was just going to say this.”
“Mm, but although that young man had some knowledge, he was still lacking.”
“Oh? Brother has more insights?”
“Not worthy of being called insightful, but according to what I know, the Body of Penetrating Mysteries not only combines technique and martial arts but also enhances virility!”
“d*mn! I want to buy it back to soak in wine!”
What is the most feared thing at the Rare Treasures Fair?
Lack of knowledge!
After all, many people come here to find treasures, like collecting antiques; even if they make mistakes, they have to swallow their teeth and pretend they’re fine, fearing others will notice their weakness.
So even if they have no idea what this thing is, they still have to spin it into something plausible.
Li Mo: “…”
There are quite a few talented people in the Eastern Sea. It’s surprising how such outrageous things can come out of their mouths.
Or maybe you guys are just good at exaggerating.
“If this item is truly so divine, why would the small Qingyuan Sect have it?”
Qiao Ziyu muttered to himself, still maintaining his composure.
“Junior Sect Master, a while ago, the Da Shang Kingdom’s fortune rose.”
The surrounding outer realm elders pondered: “Nowadays, many speculations suggest that the Qingyuan Sect is likely the Da Shang royal mausoleum. The Ziyang Mansion was indeed once the capital of the Da Shang dynasty.”
“Since it’s the burial ground of the Da Shang dynasty, could it be that the Qingyuan Sect, out of desperation, sold even the ancestors’ remains to raise funds…”
“Yes, yes, what you said makes sense!”
Qiao Ziyu’s eyes lit up with hope and excitement, thinking it more reasonable:
“This also proves that the Qingyuan Sect truly has no way out! Selling even the ancestors’ remains for money!”
The elder smiled slyly: “They probably never expected us to gather three thousand members to cut a piece! At that time, they will be left with nothing!”
“Hehehehehe…”
Qiao Ziyu couldn’t help laughing either.
People around him leaned back slightly, moving away.
Then Qiao Ziyu loudly said:
“I am Qiao Ziyu, the young master of the Lingxi Gate, and I must obtain this item due to my Body of Penetrating Mysteries! Please, friends of the Jianghu, give me face and let me cut first!”
“Who dares to stop me from cutting first…”
Qiao Ziyu revealed his sharp teeth, leaving no room for misunderstanding.
Otherwise, he might have to cut someone.
