The two little children standing on the stall looked haggard and lifeless, as stupid as clay puppets.
On the contrary, the elderly people in the wooden cages at the back all stared at Gao Xian, with a hint of anticipation in their cloudy old eyes.
This is the purest desire for life, which makes these old people's eyes light up.
Gao Xian had gone through hundreds of years of cultivation, witnessed countless lives and deaths, and felt that his heart was as hard as stone.
In Pegasus, the Red Snake Gang abducted countless independent cultivators to serve as slaves to excavate the ruins, and countless independent cultivators died in the process.
It is too common for humans to kill humans, enslave humans, and torture humans. Their methods are so cruel and vicious that they even far exceed those of other races. Even Gao Xian has gotten used to it.
However, Gao Xian couldn't help but feel pity when he saw a group of humans being sold as goods or even as food by the demons.
Gao Xian was actually very clear that putting these humans on the shelves was a commercial act of the demon race. To the demon race, humans were no different from other demon races, they were all a kind of exploitable resource, that was all.
The more this happened, the more murderous he became. Rudian was right, the aliens deserved to die!
At this moment, he could probably understand the thoughts of Taoist Xuanyang and the others. After all, the demon cultivators were still human beings. Since it was impossible to deal with the alien race, it would be meaningless to eliminate the demon cultivators.
Demonic cultivation is an internal conflict of the human race. The alien race is the biggest enemy of the human race.
After all the alien races are dealt with, it won’t be too late for humans to kill each other.
Yongping saw that Gao Xian was in a bad mood, so she could only quietly remind him: "Xingjun, Dragon Scale Island cannot take action."
The Dragon Scale Island can still maintain normal trade now, relying on this rule. Whether it is the demon race or the human race, there are strong people. Whoever breaks the rules first will not be polite to the other party. This is a balance.
Even though the Dragon Scale Society and the Sky Shark Alliance were determined to turn against the human race, they were unwilling to be the first to tear their faces apart and give themselves an excuse.
Even the powerful demons have to have a legitimate reason to act! Gao Xian naturally understood these principles. With his current cultivation level, he could kill all the demons here in the blink of an eye, but he just wanted to get away with it and ruined the plans of the nine major sects.
He glanced at the white-haired stall owner and asked, "How do you sell this?"
The white-haired monkey laughed strangely: "The small one is a top-grade spirit stone, the twenty top-grade spirit stones are for building the foundation, and the other ten top-grade spirit stones..."
"I want them all." Gao Xian bargained with disdain, mainly because he didn't want to waste time talking to this monkey.
The white-haired monkey's eyes flickered, but he didn't rush to answer Gao Xian. Instead, he looked at the merman with silver scales on his body, "Brother, someone wants this thing of mine!"
The silver-scaled mermaid looks very similar to humans, except that it has no nose bridge, only two small holes on its nose, and there are some fine scales on its face.
The silver-scaled mermaid and the white-haired monkey had known each other for a long time, so they naturally knew what this person meant. He looked at Gao Xian but couldn't tell how deep his cultivation level was. However, Tai Ning, who was beside Gao Xian, was full of energy and should be a fourth-level cultivator.
He couldn't help but feel a little hesitant. He was bidding against a Nascent Soul cultivator. Even though Dragon Scale Island didn't allow him to do so, there was still some risk.
The white-haired monkey winked at the silver-scaled mermaid, signaling him to raise the price quickly. The other party looked very wealthy, and if he missed this opportunity, he would have no chance.
As for the consequences, what consequences can there be! Even a god-transformed being would not dare to mess around on Dragon Scale Island. Only by being dangerous can you earn spirit stones! The silver-scaled mermaid gritted her teeth and shouted, "That won't do. I'll add ten high-grade spirit stones."
Tai Ning was a little angry. These two guys teamed up to raise the price. Did they really think they were stupid? Her bright eyes shone with wisdom, and she was about to release her spiritual sense to suppress the other party.
He was just a small Jindan demon. Her spiritual sense was enough to suppress him, which was enough to make his consciousness collapse and turn him into a fool.
Gao Xian reached out and grabbed Tai Ning, signaling her not to do it. If she really wanted to do it, she wouldn't need Tai Ning.
"A piece of top-grade spiritual stone."
Gao Xian snapped his fingers, and a golden top-grade spirit stone fell in front of the white-haired monkey.
The white-haired monkey took it instinctively, and looked it up and down in disbelief, confirming that it was undoubtedly a top-grade spiritual stone. He was excited and a little scared.
This person gave too much!
But he said he was reluctant to return it no matter what.
The white-haired monkey swallowed and said, "Okay, I'll give it all to you."
Without Gao Xian's instructions, Yongping went over and used a magic weapon to collect all the people. There were more than a dozen people who wanted to be taken away, but they were all under restrictions and in very poor health, so it was most convenient to use a magic weapon to pack them up.
Gao Xian was quite satisfied with Yongping's competence. This was how things should be done. Did he have to wait for his orders? This follower was too slow.
The white-haired monkey completed the transaction and bowed to Gao Xian with a smile: "Thank you for the reward, senior..."
Gao Xian smiled but didn't say anything. There was nothing to say to this white-haired monkey. He dared to take his top-grade spirit stone. He really didn't know how to write the word death.
After Gao Xian took Tai Ning and Yong Ping away, the silver-scaled mermaid hurriedly approached the white-haired monkey and said, "You have made a fortune, why don't you give me half of it?"
The white-haired monkey rolled his eyes and said, "You're dreaming. I risked my life to get this benefit, and I want to give you half of it?"
The silver-scaled mermaid was furious. He pointed at the white-haired monkey and cursed, "White-haired, I'm the one who risked my life to help you raise the price. How dare you deny it..."
The surrounding monsters also looked over. They all saw that Gao Xian had just given them a piece of top-grade spirit stone.
This is 10,000 high-grade spirit stones and 100 million low-grade spirit stones.
Dragon Scale Island has all kinds of rare treasures, but most of them are low-level demons and cultivators. That's why the white-haired monkey came here to sell to humans. The main reason is that there is nothing to sell, so he came here to try his luck while the big gathering is about to start.
The white-haired monkey had never expected to meet such a generous cultivator who directly gave him a piece of top-grade spiritual stone. Seeing the red eyes of the surrounding demons, the white hair on his head stood up.
This group of greedy and brutal guys wanted to eat him alive! He was not afraid of one silver-scaled mermaid, but he could not stop so many monsters.
I can’t keep the stall anymore!
The white-haired monkey turned and left. The silver-scaled mermaid chased it for a few steps but then became worried about his own stall. After a moment of hesitation, the white-haired monkey had already disappeared.
The silver-scaled mermaid was so angry that she started cursing!
Gao Xian didn't care about the small incident and gave Yongping one hundred top-grade spirit stones.
"Please go and buy back all the people that were trafficked on the island."
Yongping was a little surprised. She said, "Xingjun, you won't need so much."
In fact, the monkey had already bid a bit high, and cooperated with his companions to raise the price. What surprised Yongping was that Gao Xian gave him a top-grade spirit stone.
This extravagance was really hard for her to understand. Now he gave her another hundred top-grade spirit stones.
Although trafficking in humans was common, it was not a lucrative business. Few demons would deliberately capture demons and bring them to Dragon Scale Island for sale.
Even if you buy back all the humans on the island, one top-grade spirit stone would be enough.
Gao Xian understood what Yongping meant, and he said, "It's easy to buy people, but it's troublesome to place them. These spirit stones will be used to place those people, and the rest are for you. This is business, don't be polite."
Gao Xian understood very well that the most difficult part of doing good deeds is to do them properly.
Just like if there is a poor beggar on the street, it is easy to give him a dollar. However, if you want to help the beggar return to a normal life, it is not something that can be solved with just a little kindness.
Similarly, it is easy to buy back trafficked people, but how to resettle these people and enable them to live a normal and stable life requires a lot of energy to do various tedious tasks.
One hundred top-grade spirit stones was a bit expensive, but Gao Xian felt that saving his time and energy was more important.
Please...collect 6...9...books...!
He can't be kind and ask others to pay for his kindness. That's a bit disgusting.
Yongping bowed deeply. This star god was really wise and insightful. In short, he really understood!
This matter is really trivial, and it happens on Dragon Scale Island, so the cost of doing good things is very high.
With Gao Xian's status, Wanbaolou would definitely do a good job if he said so. However, they could not help but feel resentful in private. With one hundred top-grade spirit stones, this would be a profitable business, and everyone would work hard.
Yongping went out to do something busy, so Gao Xian took Taining for a long walk in the market town, and they did not return to their accommodation until it got dark.
Gao Xian bought two spiritual objects for Tai Ning. Although the spiritual stones he spent were not many, Tai Ning was very happy. She felt that Gao Xian's buying things for her was an attitude! An attitude of love for her...
Taining was in a very good mood and started to talk more. He pulled Gaoxian aside and talked about his various feelings today.
Gao Xian was chatting with Tai Ning casually when he suddenly felt the spiritual mark on the top-grade spirit stone move and leave the range of Dragon Scale Island.
He couldn't help but laugh, knowing that this guy had suddenly become rich and didn't dare to stay on Dragon Scale Island.
Sure enough, he ran away in a hurry under the cover of night and soon escaped from the coverage of the Dragon Scale Island magic circle.
Dragon Scale Island is a thousand miles in radius, which sounds very large. However, his current spiritual sense sensing radius is six thousand miles. If the white-haired monkey leaves on the teleportation array, he really has no way to deal with it.
However, such a low-level demon tribe was not qualified to use the teleportation array at will. Gao Xian was sure that the white-haired monkey could only leave Dragon Scale Island through normal means.
When the white-haired monkey was almost three thousand miles away from Longlin Island, Gao Xian used his spiritual sense to activate the Xuanming Arrow.
The transparent, shadowless ice arrows pierced the white hair of the white-haired monkey accurately from above, piercing him completely from head to toe. The white-haired monkey was frozen into an ice sculpture by the extremely cold and yin power, and paused for a moment before exploding into ice chips all over the sky.
Gao Xian hesitated for a moment. The white-haired monkey's storage bag was still there, and inside it were his top-grade spirit stones.
A piece of top-grade spirit stone was worth his trip. Although he had 900,000 top-grade spirit stones in his hand, he couldn't waste them.
Thinking of this, he said to Tai Ning: "Wait for me."
Tai Ning was stunned. She watched Gao Xian leave the room, but she didn't know what he was going to do. She couldn't help but feel a little worried, fearing that Gao Xian would cause trouble.
After a while, Gao Xian came back with a relaxed smile on his face and seemed to be in a good mood.
This made Tai Ning suspect that Gao Xian was out to pick up a woman. But this was too fast, this was not like Gao Xian's style...
In the next few days, Gao Xian accompanied Tai Ning to travel around. He didn't have much to buy, so he mainly wanted to see the various monster tribes and see how the monster tribes did business. After a few days, he had broadened his horizons.
It must be said that the human race has a very low status in Dragon Scale Island. The demon race always behaves very arrogantly towards the human race. Of course, this is for casual cultivators.
In the shops of the nine major sects, no demon clan dares to be so presumptuous.
Gao Xian stayed on Longlin Island for a few days. He saw a lot of wandering cultivators, but he did not see Yun Qingxuan, nor did he see his former fellow disciples from Qingyun Sect.
The good news is that through the sensing of the three divine wheels, he can be sure that the final Qiankun Wheel is deep in the East China Sea.
It is said that the East China Sea can accommodate a hundred Kyushu continents. Regardless of whether this statement is an exaggeration or not, it at least shows the vastness of the East China Sea.
It was unknown how long it would take to find the Qiankun Wheel in the endless ocean. Gao Xian decided to wait until the Dragon Scale Island Fair was over, then go deep into the East China Sea to look for the Qiankun Wheel and see if he could find Yun Qingxuan and the others.
Yun Zai Tian gave him a Feixian Order, saying that it could be used to contact overseas branches. He tried many times, but the Feixian Order was useless and he couldn't contact Yun Qingxuan and the others.
I don’t know if something unexpected happened or Yun Zai Tian died unexpectedly, so no follow-up arrangements could be made.
Although the Qiankun Wheel is small, it can always be found with the induction of the divine wheels. In the vast and endless sea, if you want to find a small sect, you don’t know how long it will take...
On the seventh day after Gao Xian arrived at Longlin Island, the Longlin Island Fair officially began. More and more monsters and cultivators came from all directions, and several markets were crowded with people and monsters everywhere.
Gao Xian didn't like such noise and chaos, so he stayed in the room and didn't go out. Although Tai Ning liked the hustle and bustle, he had to accompany Gao Xian to feel at ease.
The two were talking in the room when Yongping hurried into the yard. She bowed and said in the yard, "Xingjun, the chief shopkeeper went to the Dragon Scale Society to argue about the teleportation array. The Fourth Master Black, the god of the Jiaolong Clan, suddenly arrived and scolded the chief shopkeeper for making trouble out of nothing. He insisted that the chief shopkeeper kneel down and admit his mistake..."
Although Yongping was anxious, he was not confused and explained the matter clearly and concisely.
"Oh, there is such a thing. I'll go and take a look..." Gao Xian's heart moved when he heard about Hei Siye. Isn't this the guy he is looking for!
Wanbaolou has been operating on Longlin Island for thousands of years and is quite familiar with the situation of Longlin Society. Gao Xian had long ago asked someone about the situation of Longlin Society's transformation into a god, and knew that the so-called Black Fourth Master was the Four-horned Black Dragon, Yue Wanfeng's enemy dragon! He was originally thinking about how to seduce the Four-horned Black Dragon to take action, or find a place to ambush the dragon, but he didn't expect the other party to take the initiative to deliver it to his door. This saved him countless troubles.
He secretly said in his heart: "Good timing!"
