Guo Yi unexpectedly wants to buy a corpse and practice the art of controlling corpses, which is absolutely taboo for an orthodox cultivator. The art of controlling corpses is too evil, often requiring one to lurk in deep mountains and large tombs, and many corpse cultivators who want a superior corpse will even steal the bodies of some immortal sect's ancestors, so corpse cultivation is not tolerated by the righteous cultivators of the world.
Liu Yanran's eyebrows were all raised in anger, and she scolded: "What did you buy a corpse for?"
"Cultivate!" Guo Yi's natural way.
"Do you have money to buy? Even the lowest-level Corpse Control Secret costs a Spirit Grass." said Liu Yanran.
"This..." Guo Yi's body didn't have a single sprout of spiritual grass, to say that the money on him had never exceeded ten spiritual grass seeds. He muttered to himself: "I should have sold you to Li Jian instead, just enough to buy a copy of the Corpse Control Secret Technique."
"What did you say?"
Guo Yixin felt a sense of discomfort, straightened his waist and shouted in a loud voice: "What are you yelling about in front of me? You should know that you're my piano apprentice now."
"Really?" Yu Xian's hand had another piece of God-destroying stone, and it seemed like she was about to throw it over.
"No, no, absolutely not! You're the boss, you're the boss..." Guo Yi wiped away the cold sweat on his forehead and hastily softened his tone. In his heart, he was extremely depressed and cursed, "What kind of person is this? Jiaye, you old scoundrel, I'm done for, this lady is more than I can handle, it's not me holding her hostage, it's completely the other way around."
Kasyapa's voice sounded in Guo Yao's ear: "You can hold on for now, I will be able to cut off my heart demon within half a year at most. Now is the critical period, and if you can't make up your mind, then even if we meet enemies later, I won't be able to help you..."
Kasyapa's voice grew fainter and fainter, smaller and smaller, until it completely disappeared.
"Damn it, dead donkey, half a year, can I hold on for another half year?" Guo Yi now hated to open the seal of Liu Yanran and go their separate ways. He never wanted to deal with this woman again, because every time he was the one who got hurt.
"Are you sure you want to buy a corpse?" Yu Xiang suddenly asked.
Guo Yi said with a lack of confidence: "Of course we have to buy it, our current financial situation is a bit tight."
"I can help you buy it, and it's top-notch."
Liu Yanran's fingers slid lightly over her snow-white chin, a hint of a smile on her face. However, when Guo Yi saw her like this, his heart sank to the bottom, "How can it be this action again? Won't it be another trap?"
"Are you really so kind?"
"Of course there are conditions." Yu Xiangyan revealed her fox tail.
"What conditions?"
"You promise to help me with three more things, and I'll buy you a top-level Corpse Control Secret Manual." Liu Yanran smiled like the most innocent angel.
Guo Yi completely believed that Liu Yanran had the economic strength, to know that every time she arrived at a place, she would definitely receive an antique sent by her admirer to see her. Over the years, it is estimated that her treasure storage palace has been filled with all kinds of top treasures. Taking out one item can sell a large truck of spiritual grass, which is unlike Guo Yi, who is still worried about a single sprout of spiritual grass.
"I knew you weren't up to any good, and now there are three more things, making it six in total! Good heavens! These aren't just six things, they're six pitfalls that will bury me alive. I don't know if I'll ever be able to fill them in this lifetime."
Guo Yi finally gave in, thinking that as long as Jiaye and Shang cut off the heart demon, it would be his turn to take control, at which point he could directly kill this dead woman and naturally wouldn't have to repay the six things he owed her.
"In half a year, you monk will be able to get gasoline!" Guo Yi shouted in his heart.
Guo Yi looked at Liu Yanran with a bad expression and said: "Where can I buy the Corpse Controlling Secret Technique?"
"The best corpse control technique is naturally at the ancient Huahua auction house." said Liu Yanran.
Guo Yi exclaimed in surprise: "Does the Ghost Market also have an Ancient China Auction House?"
"Where there are people, there will be business for Old Hu's restaurant."
Liu Yanran also seemed to have some reservations about this number one wealthy family in the world, and was unwilling to say more, already walking towards the largest tombstone in the Wan Gui market.
Kuo Yi stood still on the ground, muttering to himself: "Hua Er Lou, that dead fat man, said he was the helmsman of the entire Nanling business, I don't know if it includes this place?"
In the very center of the Ghost Festival Market, a gigantic tombstone stood ninety meters high, like a massive heavenly stele. Standing at its base, one couldn't see the top. The tombstone was engraved with five twisted ghost characters: "Ancient Splendor Auction House."
Today is the first day of the month, and it's also the day when the monthly large-scale auction begins. A continuous stream of people comes from all directions of Fengdu Ghost City, and they all walk into this huge tombstone. The tombstone keeps rippling, and one by one, the figures disappear into the inscription on the stone.
These people have some corpses following them, some are fully cold and ghostly, and of course there are also a few skulls that have drilled in.
"We'll go in too."
Guo Ye and Liu Yanran walked side by side like a pair of mandarin ducks, also entering the tombstone.
"May I see your invitations to the Guhua Auction House?" A beautiful young girl with a elegant appearance blocked their way, behind her stood four guards, each of whom had the cultivation of the third palace of the Spiritual Realm.
"What invitation..." Guo Yi's words were cut off as he was glared at by Liu Yanran, who handed a blue crystal card to the girl.
The girl took the crystal card and immediately bowed respectfully to the two, apologetically saying: "It turns out that you are noble Blue Crystal members, I was rude earlier, please forgive me."
"You four stay here and keep watch, I'll personally escort the esteemed Blue Crystal members to the best private room." After instructing the four people behind her, the girl personally led Guo Yi and the other into the auction hall.
At this time, the remaining four guards began to discuss it, and one of them sighed: "The woman just now was really beautiful. I've never seen such a beautiful woman."
"Give up on that idea, they're a Blue Crystal member, their background is definitely intimidating, one finger can crush you to death." Another person struck back.
"Only those who have made deals worth tens of millions of yuan in ancient Huapao auctions are eligible to own a Blue Crystal membership card. I dare say that even in the entire western part of Nanling, you can't find ten people like this. This heavenly woman's background is unknown."
"You haven't seen how amazing her little sidekick is? If I were you, I'd be willing to be her sidekick too."
If Guo Yi heard what these four people said, his self-esteem would definitely suffer another severe blow. It would be strange if he didn't beat them up.
In the Ghost Market, the ancient Chinese auction house was built underground, a subterranean palace that shone brightly and luxuriously, its walls inlaid with top-quality white jade, while above the auction floor floated a gigantic pearl emitting a soft glow.
The auction venue is divided into three layers. The first layer has more than a thousand jade seats, and only those who have received the invitation letter are qualified to sit in these seats.
The second floor is reserved for the VIP seats of the ancient Chinese auction house, and those who can sit in the second-floor position are either a tyrannical master or a wealthy young noble.
The third floor is also the most elegant one, and only Blue Crystal members are eligible to enter.
The girl who led the way for Guo Yi and his companion was named Jingjing. As they walked, she explained to them: "You two have really come at the right time. This auction is the largest one in a hundred years in Fengdu City, with a total of 37 rare treasures participating in the auction. The 'Corpse Repair Classic' that you two need happens to be among them."
"What a coincidence?" Guo Yi said.
She glanced at Guo Yao, then looked at Liu Yanran's cold face and sneered: "I don't know what relationship you have with the noble Blue Crystal member?"
She had always thought that Guo Ye was a small follower of Liu Yanran, at this time the master did not speak, and the small follower spoke first. She naturally would not answer Guo Ye's question, thinking he didn't have that qualification.
"What's the relationship between me and her?" Guo Yi was momentarily unable to answer this question. He and Liu Yanran didn't really have any relationship worth mentioning, if they had to say something, "enemies" might be the most fitting description of their relationship.
Jing Jing glanced at Guo Yi and said coldly: "So you have no relation with the noble Blue Crystal member, then I can only ask you to leave."
"Do you know that I am the boss of your boss, do you dare to drive me out?" Guo Yi didn't expect Liu Yanran would be so kind as to speak up for him, guessing she was eager for him to lose face, with a heart full of resentment.
"Listen, I have no idea what you're talking about. Please leave the auction house immediately, or else someone will come and throw you out."
"How dare you, a lowly servant, be so presumptuous! He is my person, and you also dare to loudly scold him. I want to see your master." The usually lazy Liu Mengran suddenly became angry and rebuked Jingjing.
Kuo Yizheng was about to take action to teach this servant who didn't know how to treat guests, but unexpectedly Liu Yanran beat him to it. He stood frozen on the spot, staring at this cold woman in surprise, as if he had just met her for the first time. "This dead woman is actually speaking up for me, did she take the wrong medicine today?"
"I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I was wrong. Please don't call the master, he knows I offended a noble Blue Crystal member and will definitely kill me." Jingjing hastily knelt down to beg for mercy, her heart racing with anxiety. "What two weirdos, what's their relationship anyway?"
Even a woman like Jingjing, who knows many people, can't understand what Guo Yao and Liu Yanran are singing at this time. It's no wonder that Guo Yao thinks Liu Yanran has taken the wrong medicine.
"Get up! From now on, his words are my words, listen to him is listening to me." Yan Ran then turned her head coldly to Guo Yao: "I don't want you to lose face for me outside."
After she finished speaking, she walked forward with a gentle and elegant demeanor, leaving behind a breathtakingly beautiful back view.
"Am I that embarrassing? What did she mean by that?" Looking at the disappearing back of Liu Yanran, Guo Ye asked Jingjing who was still kneeling on the ground.
She stood up timidly and asked: "Are you her husband?"
"What a joke, I'm sworn enemies with this dead woman. I get it, she's got an enemy cultivation plan, she wants to cultivate me into a real equal enemy, so when she kills me, she'll have a sense of accomplishment. Otherwise, even if she kills me, others will just think she killed some small punk, and that won't do her any good. Her mind is really deep! Too ruthless!" Guo Yao successfully convinced himself again.
After Guo Yi figured out the whole thing, he suddenly felt a weight off his mind and laughed: "Jing Jing, what's going on with the corpse repair ritual you mentioned earlier?"
"This ancient book, was sent to our auction house by a mysterious guest for auction, is a heavenly-level book, called 'Three Corpses Absolute Spirit'. The mysterious guest said that he found it in an ancient tomb in the Heavenly God's graveyard, at that time this book was still under a 100-meter-long divine coffin, and he also risked his life to steal out this book, almost disturbing the terrifying existence inside the divine coffin."
"What is the Tian Shen Cemetery?" Guo Yi asked.
In the eyes of Jingjing, there was a hint of fear: "The Heavenly God's Graveyard is a forbidden land ninety million miles outside the city of Fengdu. It is said that within this forbidden land, there are nine giant tombs of divine spirits, and nine hundred-meter-long divine coffins floating above the tombs. Except for those with extremely high cultivation, no one can approach these nine divine spirit tombs. Legend has it that inside the divine coffins, there exist extremely terrifying beings that have not yet died completely."
"There's actually a place like this." Guo Yi nodded to himself as he walked into the auction hall.
