Fusang Sword Heart Diagram

Finally, this black stone tablet engraved with the Xuanwu Spirit Incantation was bought by an unknown demon clan.

Even in the second half, there were still many demons inside the Jade Hall Pavilion.

At the auction in the demon realm, many items that Ning Fusang could not even see in the outside world appeared. Treasures such as demonic cultivation techniques and ghost cultivation treasures were displayed without any attempt to conceal them.

Ning Fusang bid on a small portion of the unique demon plants and spiritual fruits found only in the demon realm, and then purchased two drops of Gu Diao's essence blood.

The sky was already turning a pale white, and the auction was coming to an end.

"The second to last item in this auction: the flesh of a Nine Realms Serpent Demon."

The female demon presiding over the auction clapped her hands, and several lesser demons pushed the enormous item up for auction.

"Upholding the principle of integrity, Jade Hall Pavilion needs to inform everyone in advance that this auction item is only the physical body of a Ninth Realm Serpent Demon, excluding the serpent gall and demon core. The starting bid is 100,000 crystal stones!"

The crowd erupted in cheers.

"I used to suspect that the Jade Hall Pavilion possessing the physical body of a Ninth-Realm Serpent Demon was just a gimmick, but I never expected it to be true!"

"Yes, I hadn't originally planned to come to the auction. I just heard about it and decided to come and see what was going on."

"If it truly possesses the physical body of a Ninth Realm Serpent Demon, then my long stay in the Jade Hall Pavilion has not been in vain."

"If you think about it carefully, you'll realize it's true. The spirit fish sold in the first half of the event were caught from the Water Fish Swamp, weren't they?"

"Moreover, if it weren't for the physical body of a ninth-realm serpent demon, why would Garuda come to participate in the Jade Hall Pavilion auction?"

"He's definitely determined to get his hands on this snake demon's body."

Inside the private room, there was a man with an ugly appearance, his face covered in pearls, and his exposed skin was a bluish-green color, which looked quite frightening.

His eyes were sharp as he stared intently at the auction stage.

The uproar in the arena was replaced by the sound of bidding.

"One hundred and five thousand crystal stones!"

"One hundred and ten thousand!"

"I'll offer three high-grade demon cores!"

Garuda tapped his fingers lightly on the table, his voice carrying from inside the private room: "Three hundred thousand crystals!"

The bidding paused slightly, and many demons withdrew from the competition.

Why did the price increase so drastically all of a sudden?

"Who's in that private room? They're really rich and powerful."

"The voice sounds a bit like Garuda. Oh well, I can't win against him, so I'll give up."

“Garuda feeds on large snakes and eats three or four hundred small snakes at each meal! The flesh of this Ninth Realm Snake Demon is an exquisite delicacy for him, and he will definitely try to get his hands on it.”

The female demon on the auction stage remained calm despite hearing a demon offer a sky-high price of 300,000 crystals.

Having worked at the Jade Hall Pavilion for so many years, the succubus had heard of far higher prices. No matter how large the number, it couldn't stir any emotion in her heart.

Moreover, the female demon knew that the physical body of the Nine Realms Serpent Demon was worth far more than this price, and there would definitely be other buyers who would raise the price.

Three hundred thousand crystals can only deter some ordinary demon races, but it's nothing to those demon races with abundant resources.

Now is just the beginning of the bidding war.

From another private room, a cold voice came out: "On top of the 300,000 crystals, I will add a demon core of a three-life spirit cat."

Following closely behind, a demon from a private room, not wanting to be outdone, said, "Three hundred and fifty thousand crystal stones, plus two high-level demon cores!" The bidding outside was in full swing.

At the same time, there was a knock on the door of the private room where Ning Fusang was.

A fox spirit from the Jade Hall Pavilion performed a graceful curtsy and said, "This servant, Yu Nu, greets Lord Jade Belt Butterfly."

“A distinguished guest has come to inquire about Zhou Li. He is deeply impressed by the fact that Zhou Li was personally shot and killed by the Jade Butterfly Lord. I, Yu Nu, have come to inquire on behalf of that distinguished guest. Has Your Excellency considered selling Zhou Li’s demon core or snake gall? Price is not an issue. If Your Excellency requires anything else, that distinguished guest will do his best to provide it.”

Ning Fusang rejected the fox woman's offer without hesitation.

"Demon cores and snake gallbladders are not for sale."

A hint of regret flashed in Yu Nu's eyes, but seeing Ning Fusang's decisive rejection, she knew there was no chance at all, so she didn't press the matter further.

She curtsied and said, "This servant will not disturb your enjoyment any longer, sir."

Yu Nu withdrew, gently closed the door, and shook her head at the inconspicuous demon.

The little demon, having returned to his master's side, reported back to Ning Fusang that he had refused to sell the demon core and snake gall.

The private room was elegantly furnished, and a piece of green clothing draped from the crystal jade couch. The woman asked casually, "Jade Butterfly Lord refused?"

“Zhou Li is at least at the ninth level of cultivation. It’s one thing for her to keep the demon core, but the snake gall is of no use to her. Why won’t she even sell the snake gall?”

The little demon shook her head: "Yu Nu didn't say."

The woman sighed, "Since Jade Belt Butterfly Lord is unwilling to sell his ninth-grade demon core and snake gall, let's continue competing for Zhou Li's body."

She fiddled with the glistening, round demon pills on the plate, her slender, nail-painted fingers flicking them away.

The little demon saw the five demon cores that had been separated from the disc and immediately went to the window to bid: "Three hundred and seventy thousand crystal stones, plus five more seventh-tier demon cores!"

Garuda looked at the private room where the bid was being made, his pupils darkening, and said unwillingly, "In addition to 400,000 crystal stones, I'll add another eighth-order demon core!"

"Hiss! A Tier 8 demon core has been found in private room number 13!"

"Is it Garuda?"

"Besides him, who else is so obsessed with snake meat?"

In fact, apart from Garuda, the snake demon in the green robe, the cat demon who bought the water fish and the spirit fish, and the demons of the Thousand Red Cave all refused to give an inch to Zhou Li's physical body.

Inside a private room on the fifth floor, the three demons of Bailiu had different expressions upon hearing that Zhou Li's physical body had been inflated to an astronomical price.

“Four hundred thousand crystals, an eighth-order demon core, plus the ninth-order demon core that she already possessed from Zhou Li—we underestimated her,” Bai Liu said coldly.

Dan Ying's eyes were devoid of any smile: "Yes, I originally thought this rogue demon was unruly and unreliable, but now it seems that she made a huge profit by quickly attacking Shuiyuze."

"If we let her continue like this, how will we have a place to stand in Iris Land?"

Tieyi scoffed, "What's the use of saying all this? Do you think the three of us can kill her in one fell swoop if we join forces?"

"I said before that we should take advantage of the auction tonight and join forces with other demons to deal with this wandering demon, but Bai Liu kept making excuses, saying that there was too little time and that we were not well prepared. It's really troublesome."

Bai Liu, who was being blamed, said nothing. The little demon he sent to find the treasure of the Jade Belt Butterfly Lord had been missing for so long, and he had a vague sense of unease.

His intuition told him that the wandering demon must have a backup plan, and he must not act rashly. He should plan carefully before acting.

The reason Ning Fusang refused to sell the ninth-tier demon core and the snake gall was that she had already sent these two items to a demon clan weapon refiner as materials for crafting the Water-Repelling Pearl.

She had originally planned to find a snake demon with decent cultivation in the demon realm to obtain its demon core and snake gall to refine weapons, but she never expected that Zhou Li's true form was a water snake.
