The candidates rubbed the places where they were tied and walked towards Fang Yun.
"Are you okay?" Fang Yun asked.
"It's okay, luckily you are here." Han Shoulu said.
Li Fanming turned his head and looked at Linggu, saying: "Give us back our Hanhu shells and the things on our bodies!"
The spirit bones looked at Li Fanming with disdainful blue fire eyes. One of them said, "That is our spoils of war! If you want it, you can exchange it for good things."
Fang Yun said: "The Mo family's Hanhu Shell requires talent to open. Your spirit bones can't open it, so it's useless to keep it. I will use a piece of ancient demon bone to exchange for a Hanhu Shell."
The spirit bones immediately discussed, and the last one said: "Three pieces for one!"
Fang Yun said: "Two pieces!"
The spirit bones disagreed, and Fang Yun said, "Then send us out of Dragon Cliff first."
The spirit bones immediately walked towards the mountain pass, and Fang Yun and others followed.
This mountain pass looks nothing special from a distance, but when you get closer you can see that the cliffs on both sides of the pass are red, and a terrifying pressure emanates from the red stone walls.
Fang Yun couldn't help but think of the power contained in the real dragon bone at the beginning, and the feeling given by the big footprint, which were all similar.
Before entering the Holy Ruins, you will know that the entrance to the Dragon Cliff not only has a powerful pressure, but also a blood shock. If everyone wants to enter and exit the Dragon Cliff, they need to use cultural relics.
These spiritual bones used their own strength to resist the power of Longya Pass, allowing Fang Yun and others to pass through the hundred-foot-long pass smoothly.
As Fang Yun and others had just left the mountain pass, all the spiritual bones flew together and collided with each other, forming a giant of a hundred bones again.
The giant with a hundred bones stretched out his finger and drew a circle, and a halo of energy and blood surrounded everyone.
"We can discuss the transaction now." said the dragon head of the giant with a hundred bones. The other heads looked at Fang Yun eagerly, with blue flames rising in their eye sockets, full of greed and eagerness.
Fang Yun said: "Two pieces of ancient monster bones for one Hanhu shell. Anyway, those things are not mine, so they are dispensable to me. If you don't want to exchange, I will keep the ancient monster pieces for myself. This thing is very useful."
Hua Yuqing whispered, "It's more than useful! Many ancient prescriptions require ancient monster bone slices as a medicine. The value of this ancient monster bone slice is even higher than that of a dragon bone of the same level, and only slightly lower than that of a real dragon bone."
"Fang Yun, where did you find this ancient demon bone fragment? Longya has never heard of the existence of ancient demon bone fragments?" a scholar asked doubtfully.
“As far as I know, only those powerful ancient places have ancient demon bone fragments.” Li Fanming said.
Fang Yun knew that there might be a big secret in the depths of Dragon Cliff, and it might not be appropriate to tell it out, so he said, "Let's solve the problem at hand first."
The crowd stopped asking questions and stood quietly behind Fang Yun. They put down the pallet, dipped their brushes in ink, and were ready to break the deal at any time.
The spirit bones turned a blind eye to the actions of these people and started arguing over the terms of exchange.
Fang Yun felt more and more that God was fair. He gave the spiritual bones powerful combined abilities, but also gave them weaknesses such as greed, suspicion and unfaithfulness.
After arguing for a while, they finally reached an agreement and threw the eighteen Juren Hanhu shells over. The leader said, "Give us thirty-six ancient monster bone pieces!"
Fang Yun immediately asked, "Where is Han Shoulu's Yinjiangbei?"
The dragon head grinned and said, "Drinking River Shells are far superior to Hanhu Shells. You need to exchange them with the Ancient Demon Marrow Pearl!"
"good!"
Fang Yun picked out twenty-nine pieces of relatively inferior ancient demon bone pieces and a marrow bead from the Hanhu Shell and threw them over, saying, "Add the seven pieces from before, that's exactly thirty-six pieces."
The leader took it. He gave Han Shoulu's drinking river shell to Fang Yun.
Those scholars took away their own Hanhu shells and expressed their gratitude to Fang Yun.
Han Shoulu took the Yinjiangbei and said with emotion: "Yinjiangbei can be exchanged for a great scholar's treasure. I not only owe Brother Fang my life, but now I owe him another great scholar's treasure."
Fang Yun smiled and said, "When you are willing to give me the Secret Records of the Holy Ruins, we are even. What's more, I ate your Demon Commander Dragon Pearl. Actually, you don't have to be polite. Since we are jointly exploring the Holy Ruins, helping you is helping me."
"He is truly a benevolent and righteous man." Han Shoulu praised softly.
Niu Shan couldn't stop smiling. Even a barbarian like him knew that Fang Yun was using marrow beads and bone fragments to exchange for the gratitude of these 19 scholars. These people would recognize Fang Yun more and in the near future, he might even gain their loyalty. It was a profitable business.
The dragon head coughed lightly, the blue fire in his eyes trembled slightly, and said: "Okay, now let's talk about the deal. Your friend said that in exchange for the holy fruit, we will send you away. Now that you have left Dragon Cliff, give us the holy fruit first."
Fang Yun said: "Of course, the holy fruit will be given to you, but we have other transactions. After the transaction is completed, we will give it to you together. How about it?"
As a result, these spirit bones discussed for a long time before reaching a conclusion. The ten-foot-long dragon head stared at Fang Yun and said, "We spirit bones are based on honesty and integrity, so I'll agree to it. What do you want?"
Fang Yun said: "I will use the marrow beads or ancient monster bone fragments to exchange for the talent you got before, the lake shells and the river shells."
All the candidates immediately looked at Fang Yun, thinking that Fang Zhenguo was not only talented but also extremely intelligent. Those who entered the Holy Ruins in the past dynasties were all extraordinary, and most of them were descendants of the holy families. The lake shells and even river shells they left behind after their death must be some extraordinary treasures.
Fang Yun waited quietly for the spirit bones to discuss.
Soon, the giant spirit bone grabbed nine Hanhu shells and placed them at his feet, saying, "As usual, two pieces of bone for one Hanhu shell."
Fang Yun immediately placed the eighteen pieces of bone at his feet and said, "These are the bone pieces. I will trade them to you together with the holy fruit at the end."
"Okay." said the leader.
Fang Yun asked again: "You didn't drink Jiangbei?"
"If we have blood and energy, we drink Jiangbei. If we don't have talent, we drink Jiangbei." said the dragon head.
"That's such a pity, I just want to drink Jiangbei with talent." Fang Yun said.
The leader said: "But you humans can transform the normal blood and qi drinking river shells into the talent drinking river shells."
"We have many ways to get the River Drinking Mussels outside. Now I just want the specialties of the Holy Ruins, such as the Thunder Stone. Of course, if your Qi and Blood Drinking Mussels are very cheap, I can exchange them." Fang Yun said.
"Drinking Jiangbei is drinking Jiangbei, the price is the same." said the leader.
Fang Yun said, "You spirit bones have been in Dragon Cliff almost all the time. What do you want to do with the River Drinking Shells? You want to exchange useless things for my good things? Why would I do that? Even if I don't exchange the marrow beads and bone pieces with you, we humans can still use them, and even trade them with spirit bones from other places!"
"Hmph!" The dragon head and many spirit bones were very dissatisfied. But they had to admit that they needed the marrow beads and bone pieces of the ancient monsters more.
Ma Xiong reminded: "You'd better keep some marrow beads. Some mechanical beasts need marrow beads to exert their power. Yours are ancient monster marrow beads, which are more valuable."
Fang Yun nodded and continued: "I have marrow beads and bone fragments of an ancient demon. You can bring out anything you are willing to exchange. I have limited things on hand and it's first come, first served. If you're late in exchanging, you may get nothing." Fang Yun wanted to cause an internal conflict among the spirit bones so that he could buy more good things at a low price.
All the spirit bones were moved. The giant of a hundred bones immediately showed a tendency to fall apart, but they did not disperse after all. The leader said firmly: "No! We will take out all our things. You can exchange the marrow beads or bone pieces for anything you want. We will never trade with you separately."
"Don't separate!" many spirit bones said.
Fang Yun didn't expect that these greedy spirit bones also had a smart side and actually kept their bottom line, so he said: "Well, put out all your things. I will exchange them with marrow beads and bone fragments."
The spirit bones discussed in low voices for a while, and the giants dispersed. The spirit bones put the things they didn't need on the ground one after another. At least 30 spirit bones took things from the Yinjiangbei. The rest of the spirit bones had several Hanhubei, which was much more generous than the human race.
These spirit bones were indeed notoriously greedy, and they displayed everything, including rags of clothing, animal skins, unknown stones, and even their own bones!
More than ninety spirit bones were piled up on the ground, and Fang Yun's eyes lit up. There must be something precious in there.
Those who had raised the seeds were also extremely envious, but unfortunately they had neither marrow beads nor bone fragments. There were things in their own Hanhubei and Yinjiangbei, but the spirit bones did not need them.
Fang Yun did not start to choose immediately, but said to the other candidates: "There are many items here, please lend a hand and help me choose. I will reward you handsomely after we leave the Holy Ruins."
Everyone immediately understood that Fang Yun’s power was limited after all, and he might miss out on good things. If they could help Fang Yun pick out high-value items, Fang Yun would definitely give them useful things as a thank you in the future.
They no longer had any doubts about Fang Yun. No matter it was Fang Yun's reputation, his previous rescue of people, or his willingness to exchange the ancient demon bone fragments for their Hanhubei and Yinjiangbei, they all deserved their full help.
"Okay!" Everyone went to pick.
Those spirit bones immediately started talking about it, saying that whatever the others chose must be a good thing, and they could exchange it for more bone fragments and marrow beads at a high price.
Fang Yun couldn't hear what they said, but he quickly figured out the key point and said, "When you see something good, you don't have to pick it out yourself, just tell me secretly."
"Okay!" All the candidates agreed.
The spirit bones all sighed, helpless against Fang Yun.
Fang Yun smiled slightly, walked directly to the two fist-sized thunder stones, and asked, "How do I exchange the thunder stones?"
The leader immediately said, "The Thunder Stone is a specialty of our Holy Ruins. It is very difficult for us to obtain it. One Thunder Stone can be exchanged for two marrow beads."
"It's too expensive!" Fang Yun said without even looking at it, and left.
Those spirit bones were confused. They were all ready to use the Thunder Stone to make a big move, but they didn't expect Fang Yun to leave as soon as he said he would. They felt like they had hit nothing with all their strength and almost vomited blood.
"The insidious human race!" a spirit bone whispered.
Fang Yun sneered. The Thunder Stone was indeed important, but he was only a juren now. This thing should at least be used on the great scholar's Wen Baoqin so that it would not be wasted. Instead of buying it at a high price now, it would be better to buy other treasures at a low price. After leaving the Holy Ruins, he might be able to buy more Thunder Stones by reselling them.
If the spirit bones also ask for an exorbitant price for other things, then just part ways, just exchange a little and leave. Anyway, those spirit bones don't know how many marrow beads and bone fragments he has.
The spirit bones were so shocked by Fang Yun's move that they simply gave up the idea of taking shortcuts and just conducted the transaction normally.
Fang Yun pretended to look at it for a while, then said nonchalantly, "I'll use a piece of bone to buy some information. Did the Wolf Barbarian Saint and Xiong Cang of the demon race encounter the Mist Butterfly near Dragon Cliff?" (To be continued...)
