Back then, when Ye Zan had just succeeded in building the foundation, everyone from the Yuqing Sect came to congratulate him and gave him their own gifts. Among them, Liu Qian, the alchemist of Yuqing Sect, gave Ye Zan a seemingly ordinary bone claw. Liu Qian didn't know where the bone claw came from. He only knew that it had some interesting abilities.
However, that bone claw played a vital role in Ye Zan's hands many times. First, at the place where the Demon God fell, Ye Zan used his bone claws to break through the extremely powerful defense and defeated Cheng Pan, who had become the "Demon God". Later, when fighting against the evil demons in the underworld, Ye Zan even used the special ability of the bone claw to throw the nuclear bomb into the space of the outer world.
Of course, there are gains and losses. After Ye Zan used the bone claw in the underworld, the bone claw was integrated into his left arm. I don't know whether it was a blessing or a curse. Fortunately, with his current strength, he can still suppress the bone claw without having to cut off his arm like the first time.
Ye Zan has always been curious about the origin of the bone claws, but Liu Qian couldn't provide any clues at all. Even if the bone claw was integrated into his left arm, he could only be sure that this thing was not a bone tool of the Witch Clan, but seemed to be the remains of an unknown creature.
Ye Zan also didn't expect that this time he suddenly wanted to exchange the Tiangang Refining Pill for a weird thing, but he actually saw something similar to the bone claw again. In other words, the bone claw on the stall and the bone claw integrated into his left arm are most likely from the same source.
With this thought, Ye Zan did not hide his interest and directly asked the stall owner about the origin of the bone claw.
Hearing Ye Zan's inquiry and knowing that a business might be done, the stall owner immediately cheered up, picked up the bone claw and handed it over with a smile on his face, and said: "Wuji Tao is friendly. Thanks to my sharp eyesight, I dare not say what the other items on this stall are like, but this one definitely meets the requirements of Taoist friends. "
"Haha, I am indeed very interested in this thing, so I want to ask fellow Taoist about the origin of this thing." Ye Zan said to the other party with a smile, but did not reach out to take the bone claw handed by the other party.
Ye Zan is very worried that this bone claw, like the previous one, will also be integrated into his body. Although, with his current strength, there is no problem in suppressing a bone claw. However, who knows if there will be any unexpected changes after these things are paired together. If the two bone claws combined were not as simple as one plus one, then he might be in big trouble.
In addition, after all, the deal has not been concluded yet, and Ye Zan has directly integrated the things into his body, so the other party can set the price at will! What if Ye Zan couldn't reach an agreement in the end, could he just cut off one of his arms with a sword and give it back to the other party in front of so many people
Seeing that Ye Zan did not accept the bone claw that was passed to him, the stall owner frowned in confusion, thinking that the other party disliked this thing as a dead thing, so he said: "Fellow Taoist Wuji, don't think that this bone claw looks like a human being." The remains are actually not belonging to the human race.”
"Oh?" Ye Zan was a little surprised and didn't quite understand why the other party said that, but he still asked immediately: "Fellow Taoist said that, does he know the true origin of this thing?"
What Ye Zan is most curious about is the origin of these bone claws. If they can figure out their origin, maybe there will be a better way to control them. After all, the ability of this bone claw is quite powerful. It simply treats space as if it is nothing, and there must be a space avenue in it.
"This..." However, when he heard Ye Zan's question, the stall owner looked very embarrassed, shook his head and said: "This, I'm afraid I will disappoint fellow Taoist. If I know the origin of this thing, I'm afraid I won't I’ll exchange it with fellow Taoists.”
"Then how can you be sure that this object is definitely not a human remains?" Ye Zan asked with some disappointment.
"The remains of the human race don't have such abilities." As the stall owner spoke, he took a rusty copper arrowhead from the ground and placed it on the bone claw in front of Ye Zan and Lin Mumu. On the palm of your hand. Then, under the gaze of several people, they saw that the rusty copper arrowhead seemed to be turned upside down, turning into a brand new arrow bit by bit.
"Hey, what kind of ability is this? It actually turned that arrow into a new one!" Lin Mumu couldn't help but exclaimed in surprise when he saw the change in the copper arrow.
While Lin Mumu was surprised, the copper arrowhead in the palm of the bone claw changed again, and turned into a piece of copper ore bit by bit. However, there are many holes on this piece of copper ore, and it is actually still a relatively pure piece of copper.
"The ability of this bone claw is a bit like going back in time. It can return some things to their original origins. However, take this copper arrowhead as an example. After all, from copper ore to refined copper to arrowhead, a lot of impurities have been removed. So much so that it cannot be truly reduced to a piece of copper ore," the stall owner explained as he took out the ore-like thing from the bone claw and put it in front of Ye Zan.
Naturally, Ye Zan didn't have to worry about this copper block, so he reached out and took it. He scanned it with technological means and immediately knew that the structure of the copper block was indeed, as the stall owner said, missing many impurities found in ordinary copper mines.
Ye Zan squeezed the "copper ore" into a copper pill with a little force on his hand, and then asked: "According to fellow Taoist, does this bone claw contain the avenue of time?"
Although Ye Zan was asking the other party, he actually already had the answer in his heart. This question was more just to test the other party.
When the stall owner heard this, a bitter smile appeared on his face, and he said helplessly: "To be honest, the headmaster and several elders of our sect were all just guessing like fellow Taoists. It's a pity that No matter what method we use, we can't really understand the way of time at all. Therefore, we think that this thing may come from an evil spirit from outside the world, and naturally it cannot be the remains of a human race."
Among the avenues of this world, there is naturally the way of time. For example, there are many secret caves that have the ability to change the flow of time. And this ability to change the flow of time is actually an application of the way of time.
If the Tao of Time contained in this bone claw is the Tao of Time in the great avenue of this world. So, the value of this bone claw is definitely not something that can be exchanged for a few Tiangang Divine Refining Pills. Moreover, other people also have the opportunity to use this bone claw as a medium to understand the true way of time.
Since, the stall owner said, the so-called way of time cannot be understood from the bone claws. It is very possible that the way of time in this bone claw is not the way of time in this world's great road. Therefore, it can be further deduced that the bone claws should not be from this world, but most likely come from evil spirits from outside.
However, what the stall owner said was nothing new to Ye Zan. He has a bone claw in his hand. Although it belongs to the avenue of space, it also does not belong to the avenue of this world.
"Oh, so, do fellow Taoists know more about the origin of this bone claw?" Ye Zan asked curiously.
However, the result made Ye Zan very disappointed. The stall owner shook his head helplessly and said: "Fellow Taoist, please forgive me, if this thing is really an evil thing from outside the world, it must at least be traced back to before the world collapsed. Even if Our sect’s heritage is quite long, but there are not many records left about what happened before the world collapsed, let alone anything related to this thing.”
Indeed, most of the evil and demonic things left in the world today were left over from before the world collapsed. Only the Shenhua Realm experienced another invasion of alien demons not long ago, allowing Ye Zan to obtain a war fortress of alien demons.
Therefore, except for the Shenhua Realm, all other realms that involve evil spirits from outside the world can basically be traced back to before the collapse of the heaven and the earth. Such a long period of time is enough to erase many things, especially things that may have little practical value to ascetics. Even if there is some information that has been passed down since before the world collapsed, it may not be related to this bone claw. It may be about other demonic things from outside the world.
Of course Ye Zan knew this, so although he was a little disappointed with the other party's answer, he didn't actually have much expectations.
The stall owner failed to answer Ye Zan's question, and was a little unclear about Ye Zan's intentions for a while, so he had to carefully ask again: "Fellow Taoist Wuji, I wonder if you are still interested in this bone claw?" ?”
Of course Ye Zan was interested, but he was hesitant which hand to use to take it. Use your right hand to catch it, maybe the bone claw will integrate into your right hand. Use your left hand to pick it up. Maybe there will be some "chemical reaction" between the bone claw in your left hand and the bone claw.
After hesitating for a moment, Ye Zan finally nodded and said: "To make my fellow Taoist laugh, I am indeed somewhat interested in this bone claw. After all, it contains the power of time and is a rather rare thing. . But we’d better negotiate the price first.”
"Haha, that's natural!" The stall owner didn't know what Ye Zan was worried about, but since Ye Zan said he was interested in it, he was too lazy to think about anything else, and then asked: "But I don't know, Taoist fellow What price do you plan to pay for this bone claw?”
Ye Zan pondered for a moment, stretched out two fingers, and said: "Although this object contains the power of time, it is not the avenue of this world after all. Since my Taoist friends exchanged it, they must also agree with this. Therefore, I feel , Two Tiangang Divine Refining Pills should be worth the value of this item."
"Two!" The stall owner hesitated for a moment. After all, Ye Zan had shown interest in the bone claws, so naturally it was better to bargain. So he continued: "Fellow Taoist Wuji, I am not greedy. This thing After all, it is a remnant of the evil spirit from outside, and its value is not much inferior to that of the Longmen Stone Tablet, so... "
The Longmen stone tablets, especially those from Hailong Palace, are indeed rare in number. However, the bone claws left by the evil spirits from outside the world are probably even rarer than the Longmen stone tablet. Therefore, purely from the perspective of the rarity of things, the value of this bone claw should not be lower than the Longmen Stone Stele.
In addition, the Longmen Stone Tablet is of little use to ascetics, but this bone claw contains the power of time and can turn copper arrowheads into copper blocks. So in terms of its use value, the value of this bone claw to ascetics is naturally stronger than the Longmen Stone Stele.
Seeing that the other party used the Longmen Stone Tablet to compare, Ye Zan smiled clearly and said, "I can understand what my Taoist friend means. Since the Taoist friend compares it with the Longmen Stone Tablet, I can also add another one." It's just that the Dragon Gate Stone Tablet is something from this world, and even if the ascetics can't use it, the demons with the blood of the true dragon can use it, and the power of time contained in this bone claw, I can't. It’s hard for people in this world to understand, so it’s just an interesting trick like fellow Taoist did just now.”
Ye Zan's meaning is very clear. These three Tiangang Divine Refining Pills are the highest price. After all, this bone claw is just used to "perform tricks". Of course, his statement was purely to lower the price, so it was naturally impossible for him to let the other party know that he could use this bone claw.
Sure enough, after listening to Ye Zan's words, the stall owner weighed it in his mind, and finally nodded and said: "In this case, just follow what fellow Taoist said, just three."
If the stall owner knew that Ye Zan could truly exert the power of this bone claw, then even thirty pills would not be considered too much. However, if Ye Zan himself doesn’t talk about this kind of thing, how can others find out about it. Even back then, in the underworld, so many people had seen him throw nuclear bombs into the outer world, but few people knew the reason was in the bone claws.
Therefore, it was easy for the stall owner to accept this item, which would not be of much use in anyone's hands, in exchange for three top-quality Tiangang Divine Refining Pills.
As in the previous transaction, Ye Zan took out three Tiangang Divine Refining Pills and handed them over, saying, "Okay, here are the pills I ordered. Fellow Taoist, you can check the authenticity first."
Seeing that the deal was concluded, the stall owner quickly took out a jade bottle, carefully took the elixirs from Ye Zan's hand, identified them one by one, and put them into the jade bottle. After letting go of the three pills, he picked up the bone claw again, handed it to Ye Zan, and said, "Fellow Taoist, how do you plan to collect this bone claw?"
Ye Zan raised his hand and pointed in the air, and a jade ball flew into the air, pulling the light to shine on the bone claw. When the stall owner saw this, although he didn't understand what Ye Zan was worried about, he still let go of his hand and watched the bone claw being put into the jade ball.
After saying goodbye to the stall owner, Ye Zan took Lin Mumu and continued walking back, looking at the stalls one after another and exchanging things that he found interesting. The thirty-six Tiangang Divine Refining Pills in his hand naturally became less and less, and they were reaching single digits at a glance.
