The world seemed to be quiet at this moment, only Song Qingxing's indifferent words echoed.

"Qiang."

The long sword with cold light was sheathed, and the Sword Qi that was raging around was instantly eliminated.

"Kill if you want. Why are you making it so disgusting?" Song Qingxi's little face turned slightly pale as he looked at the broken limbs and pieces of meat everywhere. This scene was really no different from a slaughterhouse.

Although this was not the first time he had seen such a bloody scene, Song Qingxi still couldn't adapt to it, and he couldn't help but cast a resentful look at Song Qingxing, who was standing in the wind.

Although she is kind-hearted, she is not the kind of person who has a mother's heart. These people are extremely vicious people, with countless blood on their hands, and they simply deserve to die.

But what annoyed her was that although Song Qingxing could kill the opponent easily, he chose a more bloody method. This was an extremely dangerous signal in her opinion.

When they first came down from the mountain, the two of them wandered among the Mountains and Rivers wild forests, and Song Qingxing killed all the Demon Beast they encountered, regardless of their rank, without exception, and their methods were cruel and bloody.

Although Song Qingxi felt a little uncomfortable with these Demon Beast who had not yet opened their spiritual intelligence, they did not interfere.

Until they met the first group of adventurers with evil intentions, Song Qingxing directly tortured/killed them to death. The cruelty of the method made her feel strange, but also a little worried and scared.

Killing and torture/life are just the same word, but they represent completely different meanings.

She couldn't help but recall the teachings Song Changsheng gave her before leaving, "I will not stop you from going down the mountain to practice. No matter how good the flowers in the greenhouse grow, they will eventually perish in the storm, so I agree with you going down the mountain to practice.

However, with Qingxing's temperament, you will inevitably kill after you come down from the mountain. You are kind-hearted and never do any indiscriminate killings. I am very relieved.

But Qingxing is different. He is withdrawn and indifferent. After being exposed to too much blood, he may become more extreme. If not controlled, he may go astray in the future.

Qingxing is a sharp sword with sharp edge. So I hope you are a scabbard to restrain this sharp sword and prevent him from releasing the evil tiger in his chest..."

Song Qingxi was a little dissatisfied with these words at first, but after going down the mountain, she understood how far-sighted Song Changsheng was. Song Qingxing was indeed murderous and cruel. He was not like a righteous monk, but similar to a person in the evil way. This was an extremely dangerous signal.

Therefore, after the adventurer passed by, Song Qingxi began to interfere with Song Qingxing's behavior, firstly not allowing him to kill at will, and secondly not allowing him to abuse animals.

Otherwise, the person who is favored is confident. If someone else were to tell Song Qingxing, the grass on the grave would be three feet high, but it would be different when it comes from her mouth.

Over the past month, although Song Qingxing has not completely changed, he has followed her request and exercised great restraint. Otherwise, none of the five people would be alive today.

Seemingly aware of the change in Song Qingxi's tone, Song Qingxing thought for a while and explained, "They deserved their death."

"But with your strength, you can kill them with one sword, right? Why use such methods Lingchi." Song Qingxi Xiumei frowned slightly. She didn't know that these people deserved to die, but the way they were used was wrong.

Song Qingxing looked at the broken limbs and meat on the ground, then at Song Qingxi who looked unhappy, and finally nodded and said, "I understand."

After hearing his words, Song Qingxi's face showed a bright smile again. The two of them cleaned up the battlefield a little, and then left for Liuyun Market. The journey has just begun!

Sunset City, Lineage Inside the grocery store.

When Song Luhai left, a large number of old people who stayed here were replaced, leaving only a few shop stewards such as Song Xiantu, Chief Attendant Sun Chuanming, and Song Qingluo.

The people who replaced them were all carefully selected by Lineage. They picked up the things in the grocery store quickly and did not affect the normal operation.

In addition to these clerks, Song Luyao also plans to establish a branch of Lineage Wind Whisper Hall in Sunset City, which is an intelligence station, responsible for monitoring Sunset City's movements and then waiting for opportunities to infiltrate.

Except for Song Changsheng and Song Luhai, no one else knows about this matter, and it is highly confidential to Lineage.

Song Changsheng I have seen those few hidden people, they are all inconspicuous in appearance and would not be recognized in a crowd.

For his own selfish reasons and to test the abilities of these spies, Song Changsheng assigned them the first task as Young Clan Head: "Inquire about Bianzhou One-Armed Swordsman."

He wanted to know if the person Zhu Yiqun once mentioned was the Xu Yunhe who originally explored cave abode with them.

Facts have proved that the spies trained by Song Luyao are all equally professional. Within three days, the identity of One-Armed Swordsman was confirmed. Just as he thought, it was Xu Yunhe!

Not only did he break through Foundation Establishment with his broken body, he also realized the Sword Intent that Sword Cultivator dreamed of. He walked with a sword in the Hundred Thousand Great Mountains and killed many Demon Beast. Many adventurers had contact with him.

Song Changsheng was very happy when he heard this. He was indeed right about Xu Yunhe.

"The four people who survived have now broken through Foundation Establishment. I'm afraid no one will believe it, right?" Song Changsheng thought to himself.

This is indeed rare, but if you look closely, you will find that it is inevitable.

As far as he is concerned, after resurrecting his life, carrying a cheat, and condensing [Yin-Yang Dao Foundation], breaking through the Foundation Establishment Realm is a matter of course.

Although Zhu Yiqun is Rogue Cultivator, his origin is mysterious. Even Song Changsheng cannot see through him. He is a rare Medicinal Chef, and he has outstanding talent. With Great Dao Foundation, it seems natural to break through Foundation Establishment.

Let's not talk about Zhuang Yuechan. The disciples under Great City Lord are extremely talented people and have a lot of training resources. It's surprising that they can't break through Foundation Establishment, right?

After a round of discussion, only Xu Yunhe has the most ordinary background. He is just a slightly talented Rogue Cultivator, unlike Song Changsheng who is a bad guy, nor like Zhu Yiqun who has outstanding talents, nor like Zhuang Yuechan who relies on a master.

But he kept up with everyone with his incomplete body. Only he could understand the hardships involved.

Song Changsheng Suddenly wanted to find them, and everyone would get together again to have a drink and talk. Such a scene should be very interesting.

"Fellow Daoist Xu is training in the Hundred Thousand Great Mountains, and Fellow Daoist Zhuang is on Heavenly Sound Mountain. They are all nearby. I just don't know where Dead Fatty has gone, and I don't know if Master has been found." Song Changsheng frowned slightly, with a trace of worry in his heart.

"Young Clan Head, are we going to West Market today?"

Song Qingluo's voice brought him back from his thoughts. He nodded and said, "Of course I want to go. I gained a lot last time."

The last harvest gave Song Changsheng some taste. The first thing he thought about after leaving the country was to go to West Market to "Taobao".

The two set off quickly. This time they did not stay too long at Heavenly Sound Mountain and went directly to the Western Market.

But I don't know if he was blind or just unlucky. He didn't find a single treasure after going around, but he chose a few gadgets for Song Qingluo as a reward.

This result made Song Changsheng a little discouraged, but he soon felt relieved. Last time, he was just lucky and found two pieces at a stall.

But people's luck can't always be good. It would be crazy if you could get that kind of harvest every time you come.

After thinking about this, Song Changsheng no longer obsessed with picking up leaks, but bought some cultivation items in the market, and also focused on Ape Heart, Bi Fang Feather, Flood Dragon Scale, and White Tiger Tooth, which were the media for practicing "Five Beast Body Tempering Art".

Because he is currently practicing [Earth Dragon Turning Over Diagram] and is about to reach the state of Dacheng, and he urgently needs to understand the Body Tempering method in the next picture.

But the results were somewhat unsatisfactory. Bi Fang Feather and Flood Dragon Scale were too rare and no one had seen them for a long time.

Ape Heart is quite common, but this item is not a weapon refining material. Monks usually choose to throw it away directly after hunting the demon ape, and no one will sell it in the market.

However, some stall owners suggested that he look for it in large restaurants. After all, although Ape Heart cannot refine weapons, it can be turned into delicacies by Spirit Chef. Most of them can be found in restaurants.

Although what the other party said was reasonable, Song Changsheng did not intend to do so unless it was absolutely necessary.

After all, he still wants to lose face...

After asking the stall owners to help him pay attention to these things, Song Changsheng took Song Qingluo and left West Market.

On the way back, he suddenly found that the front was surrounded by a crowd of people, and there was no gap in the originally spacious street that he could pass through.

The air is passable, but it is a pity that Sunset City is banned from flying in the whole city. He does not want to challenge the rules set by the City Lord's Mansion.

"What are you doing in front? There are so many people surrounding you." Song Changsheng asked, pointing to the crowd in front.

Song Qingluo looked up and said with a smile, "Young Clan Head forgot, it's the Auction House I mentioned to you before."

"Why are so many people gathering in front of Auction House?" Song Changsheng was suddenly curious.

"I'll go take a look." Song Qingluo volunteered to go find out the news. He came back after a while and said excitedly, "Young Clan Head, it's the announcement from Auction House."

"Announcement?"

"That's right, before Great City Lord's birthday, this Auction House will hold a grand auction. Now a batch of bidding items have been announced in advance. Everyone is gathering here to discuss this matter." Song Qingluo's excitement was palpable. If Song Changsheng wasn't still here, he might have joined in.

Looking at his appearance, Song Changsheng couldn't help but smile and said, "What kind of treasure makes everyone so excited?"

"There are too many, there are Third-Tier Spirit Pill, Third-Tier Attack Talisman, Cultivation Technique Legacy, and even the legendary Dharma Treasure!" Song Qingluo introduced Song Changsheng with excitement.

"Dharma Treasure?" One sentence shocked Song Changsheng. Dharma Treasure was actually put up for auction. Are you kidding?

Dharma Treasure is a higher-level existence than Spirit Artifact, among which Artifact Spirit has been born. Generally, there is only one Purple Palace Cultivator. To have two of them is already extremely rich.

Song Clan has produced two Purple Palace Cultivators and also owns Dharma Treasure. Each one is a family treasure. Over the years, even in the most difficult moments, Song Clan has never thought of selling Dharma Treasure.

Not just Song Clan, but any Violet Palace Force would not be able to do such a crazy thing.

"No wonder so many people gather here, Dharma Treasure, it is something that ordinary people may not see once in their lifetime." Song Changsheng sighed in his heart, this Auction House is really powerful.

"This isn't the finale yet!" Song Qingluo kept saying nothing, and directly threw another bombshell, blowing Song Changsheng to pieces.

"Dharma Treasure is not the finale, but there are more precious treasures that will appear?" Song Changsheng was secretly speechless. He could already imagine what kind of grand event the auction day would be like.

"It's a pity that Auction House hid the information about the finale product so tightly that no news was revealed at all. Everyone is guessing what the finale product will be." Song Qingluo shrugged regretfully.

Song Changsheng's curiosity was also aroused. "What are the requirements for participating in the auction?"

"There are three ways to participate. The first is to have more than 10,000 Spirit Stone. You can participate after verification.

The second is that those with a cultivation level of the Foundation Establishment Realm or above can also participate.

The third type is those who received the invitation letter from Auction House. "Song Qingluo's tone was a little dejected. He couldn't meet these requirements. It seems that his plan to go in and learn more was going to be ruined. He couldn't even get in.

But in the blink of an eye, he became excited again and said excitedly, "Young Clan Head, you are Foundation Establishment Cultivator, you can also participate!"

Song Changsheng smiled bitterly and shook his head. For the few bucks he had on him, he would probably only be able to pay the lowest price if he went in.

While the two were talking, the monks blocking the way finally dispersed, but the topic about Auction House was still hot. It was foreseeable that the news would spread throughout Sunset City and even beyond before long.

"Let's go, it's time to go back."

Song Changsheng said hello, and then prepared to return to the grocery store. When he passed by Auction House, he looked at it curiously and found a huge Beast Skin hanging there, which listed hundreds of treasures that would appear in the auction, with pictures.

Among them, Dharma Treasure and Third-Tier Spirit Pill mentioned by Song Qingluo are in the most conspicuous position in the first column, followed by Spirit Artifact, Hundred Arts Heritage and so on.

Originally it was just a casual glance driven by curiosity, but his eyes were quickly attracted by a bidding item at the end named "Second-Tier White Tiger Skeleton".

Looking at the picture at the back, what is up for auction is actually a complete skeleton, including White Tiger Tooth that Song Changsheng needs.

Song Changsheng's gaze suddenly became intense. Although White Tiger was not as good as Flood Dragon and Bi Fang, it was also a rare and rare beast. He inquired in many places, but he had no clues. He did not expect that it would appear at the auction.

"Now I don't want to participate. I will regret it if I miss it. However, a complete Second-Tier White Tiger Skeleton is definitely worth a lot of money, and it will be even higher in the auction. It seems that I have to find a way to earn some Spirit Stone."

Song Changsheng rubbed his chin and finally made up his mind to make money and return to his old profession - weapon refining.
