Chapter 124: Ten Spirit Marrows Are Not Expensive, Right? (3)

Song Yuansi’s face stiffened. “Little brother, you’re asking for too much. Martial arts techniques are extremely precious. Every book is the foundation of a faction. The Spirit Marrow is also extremely precious. Even my huge Song family only has less than a handful.”
Less than a handful? This number was more than Lin Yan had imagined.
A trace of confusion flashed across Lin Yan’s eyes. “May 1 ask where you obtained this Spirit Marrow?”
“Although this is secret information, with your strength, there’s no harm in knowing.
“Every year and a half, a few strange ferocious beasts will suddenly appear in the depths of the Guangchuan Mountains.
“A tiger with four eyes, a black panther with wings, a bear with horns on its head…
“They have different forms. They are huge and ferocious, as if they have become spirits.
“If you’re lucky enough to encounter one and hunt it down, you can obtain a Spirit Marrow. Of course, this kind of thing can only be encountered by luck. It’s just that you can accumulate a few Spirit Marrows over a few years.
Lin Yan’s eyes widened. There was actually such a thing?
Was it natural, or was it related to the depths of the crack?
“Why have I never heard of it?”
“Spirit Marrow is precious. There are a few wealthy families that pay attention to it all year round. As soon as such ferocious monsters appear, they will find traces and hunt them down. It’s naturally very difficult for outsiders to know.”
Lin Yan was deep in thought. It seemed that the Spirit Marrow was even more mysterious than he had imagined.
However, since there was a stable source of production, there should be a lot of Spirit Marrow in the entire Ding’an City, right?
As his strength increased, his horizons gradually changed. Thinking back, when the Hong family took out the Spirit Marrow, they only sent a Tough Realm cultivator to protect it. It could be seen that the Spirit Marrow was not extremely rare above the Tough Realm.
“What about the Dingdeng Genius Battle? I heard that one can obtain the Spirit Marrow in the Dingdeng Genius Battle?”
At the mention of the Dingdeng Genius Battle, Song Yuansi’s expression was filled with worry and anxiety. He forced a smile and said, “You can indeed obtain the Spirit Marrow in the Dingdeng Genius Battle and have a chance to use it perfectly.
“However, on one hand, you have to be powerful. On the other hand, you have to completely leave the lower-level cities and never return. Therefore, the Spirit Marrow of my Song family was obtained from the forest.”
Seeing that Song Yuansi was in a bad mood, Lin Yan changed the topic. He immediately unwrapped the black cloth on his back, revealing the white jade female statue. He pushed it between the two of them. “Since Mr. Song wants to buy it, let’s take a look and name a price.”
“This is…”
Song Yuansi raised his eyebrows and was attracted by the lifelike sculpture.
At this moment, Elder Xu and Chen Yuan came out of the tent. “Found it, found it!”
Elder Xu was holding a withered ancient book in his hand. Chen Yuan helped her to Lin Yan.
Lin Yan quickly supported her.
Elder Xu pointed at the handwriting on the ancient book and showed it to Lin Yan. “Look, there are records here.
“In the Infinite Ghost Domain, there’s a worm called the Corpse Buddha Cockroach.
“It’s also known as the Buddha Descendant Worm and the Dead Buddha Mantis. It is both the Buddha’s descendant and the mortal enemy of Buddha.
“Legend has it that there was no Buddha in ancient times. Humans wanted to create Buddhas but could not. The world was furious and the Corpse Buddha Cockroach was born.
“It had buns on its head and Buddhist prayer beads around its waist. It ate the Ghost Face Fish and occupied the lakeside of the Naichuan Lake. It didn’t enter the human world.”
Lin Yan couldn’t understand the words on the ancient book. He only listened to Elder Xu interpret them word by word. As he listened, he relied on his powerful memory to forcefully remember more words.
“So, the insect monster’s name is the Corpse Buddha Cockroach?
“The Infinite Ghost Domain, could it be that it refers to that poisonous fog?”
Lin Yan’s heart trembled. Just the words “bun” and “Buddha prayer beads” were enough to determine that this insect monster was the Corpse Buddha Cockroach in the ancient book!
“Elder Xu, what is this ancient book about?”
“This is actually just an ancient Buddhist scripture. Most of it is scriptures. This paragraph is just to interpret the dangers of the Infinite Ghost Domain. It just so happens to mention this insect monster called the Corpse Buddha Cockroach.”
Lin Yan subconsciously held his breath. Even so, it was enough to shock him!
Infinite Ghost Domain, the heavens and the earth were furious…
These words were clearly written in a mythical tone, but the Corpse Buddha Cockroach that they described was real!
Could that still be considered a legend?
What did this mean?
For a moment, the few of them were silent. The surrounding world seemed to be suddenly filled with grand secrets.
Chen Yuan and Elder Xu noticed the sculpture at the side. “What is this?”
Lin Yan suppressed the shock in his heart and briefly explained the six and a half murals he had seen in the palace ruins.
Song Yuansi’s curly beard fluttered as his eyes were filled with disbelief. “So, you’re saying that this woman was originally a real person? Then she turned into a statue? Are you sure?!”
Lin Yan nodded. After what happened to Xiaozhi, he was only guessing at first, but now he was certain.
“Little brother! 1’11 buy this sculpture! One Spirit Marrow. If you agree, we have a deal!” Song Yuansi said anxiously.
Lin Yan looked at him in surprise and shook his head. “Mr. Song, one won’t do. 1 want ten.”
Song Yuansi was stunned. “Ten? Little brother, it’s not appropriate to ask for so many, right?”
“Ten. I’m honest with you.”
Lin Yan gestured for Song Yuansi to wait for him for a moment before jumping out.
Not long after, he returned with a larger and longer package.
Clang! Clang!
A complete sculpture that had been cut into pieces, and the remaining three saber arms, fell to the ground.
Looking at Song Yuansi’s eyeballs that were about to pop out, Lin Yan said calmly, “Such a huge sculpture is complete. Plus three saber arms. Ten Spirit Marrows. No bargaining.. I’m giving you a family and friend discount!”
