The Scholars rubbed the places where they were tied up and walked towards Fang Yun.
"Are you alright?" Fang Yun asked.
"We're fine. Thankfully, we have you." Han Shoulv said.
Li Fanming turned to look at the Spirit Bones and said, "Return our Lake Shellfish and the items on us!"
The Spirit Bones looked at Li Fanming with disdain with their blue fire eyes. One Spirit Bone said, "Those are our spoils of war! If you want them, use good items to exchange for them. "
Fang Yundao said, "The Mohist family's Lake Shellfish requires talent to open. Your Spirit Bones can't open it, so there's no point in keeping it. I'll use an Ancient Fey bone fragment to exchange for a Lake Shellfish."
The Spirit Bones immediately discussed. The last Spirit Bone said, "Three for one!"
Fang Yundao said, "Two!"
The Spirit Bones disagreed. Fang Yundao said, "Then let's send us out of Dragon Cliff first."
The Spirit Bones immediately walked towards the mountain pass. Fang Yun and company followed.
The mountain pass did not look special from afar, but when they got closer, they could see that the mountain walls on both sides of the mountain pass were scarlet red. A terrifying suppressive force emanated from the red stone walls.
Fang Yun could not help but recall the power contained within the True Dragon Bone and the feeling that the foot gave off. They were similar.
Before entering the Holy Ground, Fang Yun knew that the Dragon Cliff entrance not only had a powerful suppressive force, it also had a lifeblood impact. If they wanted to enter Dragon Cliff, they had to use Wen Bao.
These Spirit Bones used their own strength to resist the Dragon Cliff entrance's force, allowing Fang Yun and company to successfully pass through the thousand-foot-long mountain pass.
Just as Fang Yun and company left the mountain pass, all the Spirit Bones collided together, forming a Hundred-Bone Giant once again.
The Hundred-Bone Giant stretched out its finger and drew a circle. A lifeblood halo surrounded everyone.
"We can now discuss the transaction." The Hundred-Bone Giant's dragon head said. The other heads looked at Fang Yun covetously. The blue flames in their eye sockets burned, filled with greed and eagerness.
Fang Yundao said, "Two Ancient Fey bones for a Lake Seashell. After all, those things are not mine, so they are dispensable to me. If you don't want to trade, I'll keep the Ancient Fey bones for myself. They are very useful."
Hua Yuqing said in a low voice, "It's more than useful! Many ancient recipes required an Ancient Fey bone fragment as a catalyst. The value of the Ancient Fey bone fragment was even higher than a flood dragon bone of the same level. It's only slightly less valuable than the true dragon bones. "
"Fang Yun, where did you find this Ancient Fey bone fragment? Dragon Cliff has never heard of an Ancient Fey bone fragment? "A High Scholar asked curiously.
"According to what I know, only a few powerful ancient lands have Ancient Fey bone fragments," said Li Fanming.
Fang Yun knew that the depths of the Dragon Cliff might be related to a big secret. He was afraid that it would be inappropriate to reveal it, so he said, "Let's deal with the matter at hand first."
Everyone stopped asking questions and stood quietly behind Fang Yun. They put down their support boards. He dipped the brush in the ink, ready to break the deal at any time.
The Spirit Bones ignored the actions of these people and began arguing over the terms of the exchange.
Fang Yun increasingly felt that the heavens were fair. They had given the Spirit Bones powerful teamwork, but they had not forgotten to give them weaknesses like greed, suspicion, and untrustworthiness.
After arguing for a while, they finally came to an agreement. Throwing the eighteen High Scholars' Lake Shells over, Dragon Head said, "Give us thirty-six Ancient Fey bone fragments!"
Fang Yun immediately said, "What about Han Shoulv's River Drinking Shell?"
Dragon Head grinned and said, "River Drinking Shell is far superior to River Drinking Shell. You will need to use an Ancient Fey Marrow Bead to exchange for it!"
"Alright!"
Fang Yun picked twenty-nine Ancient Fey bone fragments of inferior quality and a Marrow Bead from the River Drinking Shell and threw it over. He said, "In addition to the seven from before, there are thirty-six. There are exactly 36 pieces. "
Dragon Head took it and gave Han Shoulv's River Drinking Shell to Fang Yun.
The High Scholars took their River Drinking Shells. They thanked Fang Yun.
Han Shoulv took the River Drinking Shell and said ruefully, "River Drinking Shell can be exchanged for a great Confucian literary treasure. Not only do I owe Brother Fang my life, I also owe a great Confucian literary treasure."
Fang Yun smiled and said, "When you were willing to give me the 'Holy Ground Secret Records', we were even. Furthermore, I ate your Demon Commander Flood Dragon Bead. Actually, you don't have to be so polite. Since we are working together to explore the Holy Ground, helping you is helping me. "
"Truly a righteous person." Han Shoulv praised softly.
Niu Shan was grinning from ear to ear. Even a barbarian like him knew that Fang Yun had used the Marrow Bead and bone fragments to exchange for the gratitude of the nineteen High Scholars. These people would acknowledge Fang Yun even more. In the near future, he might even gain their loyalty. It was a matter of small capital and huge profits.
Dragon Head coughed lightly as the blue fire in his eye sockets trembled slightly. He said, "Alright, let's talk about the deal now. Your friend said that he would use the holy fruit to exchange for us sending you away. Once you are out of the Dragon Cliff, give us the holy fruit first. "
Fang Yundao said, "Of course, we will give you the holy fruit. However, we have other deals. After the deal is done, we will give it to you all together. How about that?"
In the end, these Spirit Bones discussed for a long time before coming to a conclusion. The ten-foot long Dragon Head stared at Fang Yun and said, "We Spirit Bones are trustworthy. Then we will agree. What do you want?"
Fang Yundao said, "I will use the Marrow Bead or the Ancient Demon Bone Fragment to exchange for the Talented River Drinking Shell that you obtained before."
All the High Scholars immediately looked at Fang Yun. They secretly thought that he was not only talented, but also very intelligent. The people who entered the Holy Ground in the past were all extraordinary. Most of them were disciples of the Holy Clans. After they died, the Lake Drinking Shells and even the River Drinking Shells that they left behind must have extraordinary treasures.
Fang Yun quietly waited for the Spirit Bones to discuss.
Not long after, the Spirit Bone Giant grabbed nine Lake Drinking Shells and placed them at his feet. He said, "Old rules, two bone fragments for one Lake Drinking Shell."
Fang Yun immediately placed the eighteen bone fragments at his feet. He said, "These are the bone fragments. At the end, I will trade them with the holy fruit."
"Okay." The Dragon Head said.
Fang Yun asked again, "You don't have River Drinking Shells?"
"We have Blood Drinking Shells, but not Talent Drinking Shells." The Dragon Head said.
"That's a pity. I only want Talent Drinking Shells." Fang Yundao.
The dragon head said, "But you humans can transform normal Qi and Blood River Shellfish into Qi and Blood River Shellfish."
"We have many ways to obtain River Drinking Shells outside. I only want the specialties of the Holy Ground, such as the Thunder Stone. Of course. If your Blood Drinking Shells are cheap, I can exchange them. "Fang Yundao.
"River Drinking Shells are River Drinking Shells. The price is the same. "The Dragon Head said.
However, Fang Yun said, "You Spirit Bones have almost always been in the Dragon Cliff. What do you use River Drinking Shells for? You want to use useless things to exchange for my good things? Why would I exchange! Even if I don't exchange the marrow beads and bone fragments with you, we humans can use them. We can even trade 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 Ancient Fey marrow beads and bone fragments more.
Ma Xiong reminded, "It's best you leave some marrow beads. Some mechanical beasts need marrow beads to unleash their power. Yours is an Ancient Fey marrow bead, so its value is higher."
Fang Yun nodded. He continued, "I have Ancient Fey marrow beads and bone fragments. You can take out whatever you are willing to exchange. I have limited things on hand. First come, first served. If the exchange is late, you might not get anything. "Fang Yun wanted to cause internal strife among the Spirit Bones so that he could buy more good things at a lower price.
All the Spirit Bones were moved. The Hundred Bone Giant immediately showed signs of falling apart. However, they did not disperse. The Dragon Head said firmly, "No! We will take out everything we have. Whatever you want, you can exchange with the marrow beads or bone fragments. We will not separate from you. "
"We will not separate!" Many Spirit Bones said.
Fang Yun did not expect these greedy Spirit Bones to have a smart side. They actually held their bottom line. Hence, he said, "Alright, take out everything you have. I will use the marrow beads and bone fragments to exchange."
The Spirit Bones discussed softly for a moment before the Hundred Bone Giant dispersed. The Spirit Bones placed the things they did not need on the ground. At least thirty Spirit Bones took things from the River Drinking Shell. The rest of the Spirit Bones had a few Lake Drinking Shells. They were far more extravagant than humans.
These Spirit Bones were indeed famous for being greedy. They took out all kinds of things. There were tattered clothes, beast skins, unknown stones, and even their own bones!
More than ninety Spirit Bones' items were piled up on the ground. Fang Yun's eyes lit up. There was definitely something precious inside.
The High Scholars were also very envious. Unfortunately, they did not have any marrow beads or bone fragments. Their own Lake Drinking Shells and River Drinking Shells had things, but the Spirit Bones did not need them.
Fang Yun did not immediately choose. Instead, he said to the other High Scholars, "There are many items here. I would like to ask everyone to help me choose. When we leave the Holy Ground, there will be great rewards."
Everyone immediately understood that Fang Yun's power alone was limited. He might miss out on good things. If they could help Fang Yun choose something of high value, Fang Yun would definitely give them something useful in the future as thanks.
They no longer had any doubts about Fang Yun. Whether it was Fang Yun's Literary Name, his saving of people, or his willingness to exchange their Lake Drinking Shells and River Drinking Shells with the Ancient Demon Bone Fragments, he was worthy of their full support.
"Alright!" Everyone went forward to choose.
The Spirit Bones immediately started discussing among themselves. They said that whatever the others chose, it would definitely be something good. They would be able to exchange it for more bone fragments and marrow beads at a high price.
Fang Yun could not hear what they were saying. However, he quickly understood the crux of the matter and said, "When you see something good, you don't have to choose it personally. Just tell me secretly."
"Alright!" The High Scholars agreed.
The Spirit Bones sighed. They could not do anything to Fang Yun.
Fang Yun smiled and walked towards the two fist-sized Thunder Stones and said, "How much do I exchange for these Thunder Stones?"
The dragon head immediately said, "The Thunder Stones are a special product of the Holy Ground. It is difficult for us to obtain them. One Thunder Stone can be exchanged for two marrow beads."
"That's too expensive!" Fang Yun said. He did not even look at them and left.
The Spirit Bones were confused. They were all prepared to use the Thunder Stones to extort him. However, they did not expect Fang Yun to leave just like that. They felt as though they had used all their strength to strike empty air. They almost vomited blood.
"Treacherous human!" One of the Spirit Bones said softly.
Fang Yun laughed coldly. The Thunder Stones were indeed important. However, he was only a High Scholar now. This item should at least be used on the Great Scholar Wen Baoqin. Instead of buying it at a high price, he might as well buy other treasures at a low price. When he left the Holy Ground, he might be able to buy even more Thunder Stones.
If the Spirit Bones were to ask for sky-high prices for other items, then he would just break up with them and leave. After all, these Spirit Bones did not know how many marrow beads and bone fragments he had.
The Spirit Bones were shocked by Fang Yun's actions. They gave up on the idea of using cheap tricks and decided to trade normally.
