To think that a Lone Bamboo, a type of Lightning Element soul beast, could actually produce a soul bone?
What kind of soul skill would it even come with? It better not be pole vaulting!
At the thought of this, Mu Guiyun could barely keep his composure.
"Let's go, let's go!"
Mu Guiyun grabbed Tang Ya by the back of her collar and led her and Jiang Nannan toward the distance.
"Ow, what are you doing!"
Tang Ya was somewhat dissatisfied; even if she couldn't afford that soul bone, she at least wanted to feast her eyes on it.
"Don't embarrass me here. If you really want to see something, I'll take you to the third floor later to broaden your horizons."
Mu Guiyun felt a bit helpless. What was there to see in a piece of trash Lone Bamboo soul bone?
The third floor?
Hearing this, the previously chattering Tang Ya instantly went quiet, and even Jiang Nannan, standing to the side, froze in place.
Seeing that Mu Guiyun didn't look like he was joking, Tang Ya hesitated and asked, "Guiyun, isn't the third floor only for inner courtyard disciples?"
"Of course, but rules are rigid while people are flexible!"
Mu Guiyun waved his hand dismissively and said, "Let's go look around somewhere else first; the third floor isn't open yet anyway."
"Yay!"
After wandering around the second floor with Tang Ya and Jiang Nannan for a while, they suddenly ran into an old acquaintance of Mu Guiyun.
Looking at the cold, aloof girl before him, Mu Guiyun smiled and greeted her, "Senior Sister Ling Luochen, what a coincidence?"
"Indeed, I didn't expect to run into you here."
Upon seeing Mu Guiyun, the frost-cold, beautiful face of Ling Luochen revealed a hint of a smile.
Come to think of it, Ma Xiaotao and Ling Luochen were classmates back in the outer courtyard, but their relationship...
It wasn't much better than the relations between North and South Korea in Mu Guiyun's past life.
Aside from the repulsion between their martial souls, the main reason was that Ling Luochen had a severe case of mental mysophobia, yet Ma Xiaotao was always bumping into her with her massive "peaches"...
"Care to walk together?"
Brushing away the jade hand causing trouble at his waist and ignoring the resentful-looking Tang Ya behind him, Mu Guiyun extended an invitation to Ling Luochen.
"Scum!"
Seeing Mu Guiyun ignore her, Tang Ya could only curse under her breath and seek comfort from Jiang Nannan with a wronged expression.
Quietly glancing at Tang Ya and Jiang Nannan, Ling Luochen subconsciously narrowed her eyes and chuckled, "Next time. I believe we will meet in the inner courtyard soon enough."
Although she was extremely curious about Mu Guiyun's martial soul, with these two lightbulbs present, it clearly wasn't a good opportunity.
"Alright then, goodbye, Senior Sister."
Seeing Ling Luochen refuse, Mu Guiyun didn't choose to persist.
After strolling around the second floor for a while longer, Mu Guiyun brought the two girls to the third floor.
Relying on his Face-Face Fruit, the group passed through without obstruction. The expected scene of showing off and slapping faces didn't happen, which made Mu Guiyun feel a bit regretful.
Unlike the second floor, the third floor of the Treasure Appreciation Fair was specifically prepared for inner courtyard disciples. Both the prices and the rarity of the heavenly treasures were on a completely different level than the second floor.
Even the rarely seen Ten Thousand Year Soul Bone was displayed here in several pieces.
It was the first time Tang Ya and Jiang Nannan had come to the third floor. Looking at the dazzling array of treasures and the prices marked below them, they were instantly stunned into silence.
"So many zeros?! How much good food could that buy!"
Tang Ya counted on her fingers and realized that her own little treasury couldn't even afford the crystal case used to display the items.
The group walked and stopped, finally coming to a halt in front of a brilliant golden soul bone.
Unlike ordinary Ten Thousand Year Soul Bone, this soul bone was a complete arm, with all five finger bones intact, showing no signs of breakage or wear.
15,000-year Golden Radiance Left Arm Bone!
Originating from a 15,000-year-old Golden Earth Dragon King, it not only possessed an incredibly pure Radiant Dragon bloodline, but this soul bone also concentrated all the bloodline essence of the Earth Dragon King.
It was the very same one that Wang Dong absorbed in the original story.
"Nine million five hundred thousand?! This, this, this..."
Tang Ya was clearly shocked by the price of this soul bone and hurriedly nudged Mu Guiyun, "Let's go, what if they make us pay for it later?"
Mu Guiyun: ...
Ignoring Tang Ya, Mu Guiyun waved to a maid nearby and said, "Help me wrap this soul bone up."
The soul skill of this Golden Radiance Left Arm Bone was already fixed, allowing the absorber's soul skills to be imbued with a trace of Radiant Dragon Flame that possessed purification properties.
However, these were of no use to Mu Guiyun; what truly made him covet it was the passive effect of this soul bone.
Not only could it increase the power of Radiant-attribute attacks by thirty percent, but it could also continuously recover soul power after activating one's martial soul!
As long as he could preserve this effect, this soul bone would be the best material for Mu Guiyun's Radiant Battle Armor.
"Do you even have that much money?"
Quietly nudging Mu Guiyun, Tang Ya's little head suddenly flashed with an idea, and she looked at him with full vigilance. "You invited Nannan and me here so enthusiastically—don't tell me you're planning to hold us hostage here to trade for this spirit bone?"
After saying this, Tang Ya took a wary step back, shielding Jiang Nannan behind her.
Jiang Nannan: ...
Mu Guiyun was speechless, thinking that Tang Ya's nerves were truly a bit thick.
"Look at what this is."
Mu Guiyun pulled a red card from his Soul Tool and waved it gently in front of the two girls, explaining, "This is the top-tier VIP card for the Treasure Pavilion. Every year at the Treasure Appreciation Fair, I can take one treasure from here completely free of charge!"
"So that's how it is? I thought you were going to sell Nannan and me off!"
Tang Ya scratched her head in embarrassment, her dazed expression causing Jiang Nannan to stifle a laugh.
After putting away the spirit bone, the three continued to stroll around. Along the way, Mu Guiyun paid out of his own pocket to purchase a Mystic Water Pill for Tang Ya, which made her howl with excitement.
Looking at the snot and tears smeared all over his chest, Mu Guiyun's mouth twitched uncontrollably as he said helplessly, "It's just a Mystic Water Pill. With the discount, it only cost a few thousand Gold Soul Coins. Is it really worth all this?"
"You don't understand!"
Tang Ya sniffled, choking back sobs. "Ever since my mom and dad passed away, no one has ever cared about me like this..."
"So that's how it is..."
Mu Guiyun sighed, his arms exerting a slight pressure. Looking at the lovely girl crying in his embrace, he leaned in close to Tang Ya's ear and whispered, "Xiao Ya, if you don't mind, I can..."
Tang Ya, who had been sobbing quietly, suddenly went still upon hearing his words.
Feeling the hot breath against her ear, Tang Ya felt her little heart pounding wildly.
Could it be...!?
"Can what..."
"If you don't mind, I can be your father and let you experience once more what it means for a father's love to be as heavy as a mountain!"
Tang Ya: ...
Tang Ya raised her little head with an expressionless face, meeting Mu Guiyun's eyes, which were filled with mockery.
The emotion and anticipation in her heart vanished in an instant, and Tang Ya felt her nose turning red.
"Ahhhhh! You hateful Mu Guiyun! This Sect Master sees that you have already invited your own death—take my Blue Silver Entanglement!"
