The Phoenix Diamond was a high-grade Immortal Stone of the Fire Attribute. Dragon gold was different. It could not be used as money, but it could be used for forging. When dragon gold was used for forging, it was not directly used to forge weapons. This was because dragon gold was a relatively soft metal with high elasticity. It would definitely not be sharp enough to make swords or sabers.
Most of the time, dragon gold was used as an additive in the forging process. When forging swords and sabers, dragon gold would be infused into them to increase their toughness, making the weapon harder to break. When infusing Quintessential Essence, it would also be smoother. Hence, dragon gold was a very popular metal in the Heavenly Realm. There were even martial artists who risked their lives to go to the Dragon Realm just to obtain dragon gold.
Tsk tsk tsk … The more Du Feng thought about it, the more he felt that the connection between Eight Immortals City and the Heavenly Realm was definitely more than what he saw.
"Look, it's dragon gold."
"Wow, that's dragon gold. It's so beautiful."
When the martial artists saw the dragon gold, their eyes widened.
"Hmph, that dragon gold was exchanged with my son's life. The people of Eight Immortals City deserve to die."
When the dragon gold appeared, some were surprised, while others were shocked. For example, an old man in the corner stared at the dragon gold on the stage with bloodshot eyes. A while ago, his only son came to Eight Immortals City to play, but when he crossed the golden bridge, he could not avoid it in time and was turned into dragon gold.
What was brought onto the stage was not the entire sculpture, but one of the dragon gold's palms. Even though it was only a palm, the old man could recognize that it belonged to his son.
"Your Eight Immortals City has committed countless crimes. Return my son's life."
Everyone was looking at the dragon gold on the stage when they suddenly heard an angry roar. Following that, an old man's aura erupted as he rushed onto the stage to fight Wong Song Lord.
"I was wondering why the dragon gold was in the shape of a human hand. So it was exchanged with human lives."
"Yeah, I've long heard that dragon gold and phoenix diamonds are exchanged with human lives."
Everyone discussed and sympathized with the old man's plight. His only son was already dead, and his corpse was being dismembered and sold at an auction. Thinking about it, it was indeed cruel.
"I say, Wong Song Lord, return his son to him."
Just as everyone was discussing, City Lord Xue in the private room spoke again. He was the one who made things difficult for the second city lord before, and now he was the one who made things difficult for Wong Song Lord. He was purely looking for trouble.
"That's right, that's right. Even if he's dead, we have to return his body."
"If he's alive, I want to see him. If he's dead, I want to see his corpse. Just let his son rest in peace."
"If you have any humanity in you, then return their son."
With City Lord Xue leading the way, many martial artists seconded the idea. Everyone felt that it was immoral to dissect someone else's son's body and sell it for money. Another reason was that they couldn't bear to see Wong Song Lord earn so much money for nothing.
If you really want to sell Dragon Gold, that's fine too. You can use your own people to make Dragon Gold. Using the lives of the martial artists from the Lower Realm and other Immortal Cities as raw materials and not distributing the Dragon Gold that was produced was something that no one would agree to.
"May I ask this old man, are you really going to bury your son's body when you bring it back?"
Wong Song Lord looked at the martial artists in the hall unhurriedly and glanced at City Lord Xue's private room. Finally, he stared at the old man and asked such a question.
"Yes, I want to give my son a proper burial and let him rest in peace."
The old man tidied up his white beard and hair. His eyes were red as he stood still and answered.
"Hehe, your acting is really good."
"Can you guarantee that you won't sell the Dragon Gold or use it for forging, but bury it all?"
Wong Song Lord continued to question the old man with a mocking tone. His eyes were sharp as if he could see into the heart of a person.
"I … I … can guarantee it!"
The old man's answer was no longer as resolute as before. He thought about it seriously. Such a huge Dragon Gold sculpture. If he brought it back, would he really bury it in the ground and not care about it? If he sold it, he could exchange it for a lot of Immortal Stones and Immortal Pills. It would be very helpful for Cultivation. Even if he didn't sell it, he could find someone to forge weapons for it. It would be a pity to bury it in the ground. Moreover, even if he buried it, others would dig it out.
"You can guarantee my a * s. If you want to extort my Eight Immortals City of Dragon Gold, just say it. If anyone else is dissatisfied, feel free to come at me."
Wong Song Lord rebuked the old man with a single sentence. He said that his heart ached for his son's death and that he was here for the Dragon Gold. No matter who it was, who would be willing to hand over the Dragon Gold after obtaining it? Who would bury it in the ground like a corpse? All of them pretended to be righteous, but they were all insatiably greedy people.
"Tsk, so this old man is here to get rich."
"He said it's for his son. So he's going crazy because he wants to get rich."
With just a few words, Wong Song Lord managed to sway the public's opinion to his side. It seemed like he was very experienced in dealing with such matters.
"Wong Song Lord's words make sense, and no one is immune. But that's his son after all. Now that he's dead, you can't just leave him here, right? At least let him bring his head back. "
While the old man was at a loss for words, City Lord Xue in the private room spoke again. It was unknown where he learned these words from, but he was able to poke at Wong Song Lord's sore spot every time. So what if he was here for benefits? Even if he couldn't get half of the Dragon Gold, he should at least return his head. But if he were to let Wong Song Lord give away such a huge piece of Dragon Gold for nothing, wouldn't it hurt him to death?
"City Lord Xue, you're really a kind person. Since you're so kind, why don't you buy it and give it to that old man?"
Wong Song Lord's reply was too quick. He actually pushed the conflict onto City Lord Xue. Since you said that you should take care of the old man's feelings, then you should take care of it. As long as you're willing to fork out the money, you can do whatever you want. I don't care if you earn a good reputation.
"Tsk, tsk, tsk … This Wong Song Lord is really something. I wonder how City Lord Xue is going to deal with him."
Du Feng couldn't help but admire Wong Song Lord's ability to hoodwink people. At the end of the day, he was still profiting from the dead, and he was doing it in such a righteous manner.
"Wong Song Lord, stop wasting time with him. Hurry up and tell me your base price. I have so much money that I can't spend it."
Just then, Yao Nan's sharp voice sounded again. This way, it could help City Lord Xue resolve the awkwardness, and also allow Wong Song Lord to start auctioning the hand-shaped Dragon Gold earlier. As the name suggested, the hand-shaped Dragon Gold was only the size of a human hand. It was definitely not enough to forge an entire weapon. It could only be used as an additive.
