“???”
Hearing Lu Ming ask to cash it out, Bao Duoduo was instantly stunned. What kind of logic was this?
After staring at Lu Ming for a moment, Bao Duoduo calmed his emotions.
“This can only be used for discounts, not cashed out...”
Dammit, cash out? How much cash am I supposed to give you?
Even though you get a ten percent discount when you buy things, as long as a transaction occurs, the Blood Fiend Tower still makes a bit of profit.
If it's cashed out directly, it's not even a matter of losing money.
The issue is, even if I gave you the entire Blood Fiend Tower, it wouldn't be enough to cash it out, would it?
“Why?” Lu Ming asked with a look of confusion.
“Either way, it's a discount for me...”
“Woof woof!!”
Big Yellow wagged its tail. Yes, yes... cash out, convert it all into spirit stones.
Huang Tianbao also nodded in agreement.
Bao Duoduo was even more speechless.
He looked at the surrounding Heavenly Demon Sect members.
Do you people know that your three sect masters have loose screws in their heads?
Seeing Bao Duoduo's gaze, the members of the Heavenly Demon Sect looked as if they were thinking, Our Sect Masters are so smart...
If it weren't for the three of them being so wise and divine, we would still be struggling in the slums.
Seeing their expressions, Bao Duoduo was even more speechless. Good grief, you guys are actually proud of this?
Is this really okay?
He could finally see it. The people of this entire sect had their eyes glued to money.
Then, Bao Duoduo let out a helpless sigh and said, “How about this? I won't give you a discount anymore. Tell me how many spirit stones you want, and I'll just give them to you directly. How's that...?”
Hearing Bao Duoduo's words, Lu Ming's eyes lit up, and then he spoke with a bit of embarrassment: “Would that be inappropriate?”
“No... I think it's very appropriate.”
As soon as Lu Ming finished speaking, Bao Duoduo quickly interjected.
This way, at least there was a set price. Cashing it out... how much cash would that even be?
I could give you the Blood Fiend Tower and it still might not be enough.
“Since you strongly insist on paying in spirit stones, I'm easy to talk to. Let's make it five million spirit stones...”
“Deal!”
As soon as Lu Ming's words fell, Bao Duoduo readily agreed.
At the same time, he couldn't help but mutter in his heart, How did you even say that with a straight face?
How did this instantly turn into me owing you spirit stones?
Meanwhile, Lu Ming also felt a pang of regret. Ah, I asked for too little...
My mindset was too narrow, and my experience too lacking...
I should have asked for ten million.
Then, Bao Duoduo took out a storage bag and handed it to Lu Ming: “Five million spirit stones...”
Lu Ming didn't stand on ceremony either, reaching out and taking it.
“Great Sect Master, we found something...”
Just then, seeing Lu Ming accept the storage bag, Diao San quickly called out.
“What did you find?”
Lu Ming asked, directly putting away the storage bag containing the spirit stones.
He also put away the VIP token that Bao Duoduo had given him.
Seeing this, Bao Duoduo didn't even know what to say anymore.
Whatever, who told his sect to be so poor?
Bao Duoduo instantly recalled the first time he met Lu Ming, and how stingy the guy had been.
He was even stingy over a single storage bag...
Afterward, he followed Lu Ming and the others to see what was going on.
It turned out that Diao San and the others had found a hidden door on the uneven stone wall.
Those people hadn't appeared out of thin air at all.
They had come through the hidden door. Lu Ming and the others passed through the hidden door.
They found a massive space inside.
“Why are there still so many people?”
Entering the space, Lu Ming couldn't help but exclaim.
For there were still many cultivators inside the space, standing there motionless like corpses...
“These people are not right. Something is very wrong with them...” Bao Duoduo spoke up.
Lu Ming nodded in agreement. Although his experience was lacking, he could also tell that something was wrong with these people.
This was because these people were currently bleeding from their seven orifices, their faces were pale-green, and their life force was rapidly draining away...
And the blood flowing from them was draining into the array patterns beneath their feet.
Seeing this, Bao Duoduo looked at Lu Ming and instantly felt that asking for five million wasn't actually that much.
After all, if it weren't for this guy, he would probably have died a miserable death as well.
Right then, Bao Duoduo's gaze suddenly froze, and he quickly ran over to a female cultivator: “Elder Yun, Elder Yun...”
But no matter how he called out, the female cultivator gave no response.
“You know her?” Lu Ming walked over to him and asked.
Bao Duoduo nodded. “She is an elder of our Blood Fiend Tower...”
Then, Bao Duoduo prepared to reach out and pull her back.
Sizzle...
A layer of black light suddenly surged from Elder Yun's body.
It directly corroded a layer of skin and flesh off Bao Duoduo's hand.
If Bao Duoduo hadn't pulled his hand back quickly, it would have been completely ruined.
Big Yellow, Huang Tianbao, and the others were also startled.
They hurriedly took a few steps back.
Lu Ming's eye twitched. He pulled a spirit sword out of his storage bag to test it.
Instantly, the spirituality inside it was also corroded away.
“Why didn't you warn me?” Bao Duoduo stuffed a recovery pill into his mouth and complained.
Lu Ming tossed aside the corroded spirit sword. “Who knew you'd be so brave!”
Then, Lu Ming turned around and asked, “Can anyone tell what kind of ritual is being held here?”
There was an array, and there was blood; it was clearly a sacrifice.
Bao Duoduo and the others all shook their heads.
“Never seen it...”
Lu Ming frowned, looked at the crowd, and pointed at Wang Defa. “Old Wang, you seem to know everything. Do you know what's going on here?”
Wang Defa stroked his beard and swayed his head, putting on the air of an esteemed expert: “According to my historical research on the Xuantian Continent...”
Lu Ming, Bao Duoduo, and the others all stared at Wang Defa with curiosity.
They didn't expect this old man to actually know.
But Wang Defa just kept stroking his beard endlessly, refusing to speak...
“What exactly did you discover from your research?” Lu Ming really couldn't help but ask.
Only then did Wang Defa speak up slowly: “Don't I need some time to think?”
Lu Ming choked, asking suspiciously: “Do you actually know or not?”
Wang Defa rolled his eyes. “If you're in such a hurry, you think about it...”
“I... fine, fine, take your time...”
“Hmph... what a waste of time,” Wang Defa complained before continuing. “Sect Master, I suspect this is some kind of resurrection ritual...”
“What? A resurrection ritual?”
While Lu Ming was shocked, he also wanted to beat the old man to death. Didn't you just say you needed to think? You already remembered!
Hearing Wang Defa's words, Bao Duoduo and the others were all startled.
“Who is trying to resurrect?”
“That, I do not know...” Wang Defa shook his head.
“Could it be the Buddha of All Beings Equal?” Lu Ming suggested uncertainly.
After all, the monk who had just been taken into Huang Tianbao's Hundred Million Soul Banner had mentioned that he had a master.
Furthermore, this secret realm was called the All Beings Equal secret realm.
Hearing Lu Ming's analysis, everyone's faces turned pale.
If this being really resurrected, would any of them survive?
After all, looking at the miserable state of these sacrificed people, they might not survive either!
“Eldest Senior Brother, what should we do?” Huang Tianbao asked with some worry. After all, if some Buddha of All Beings Equal resurrected, he certainly wouldn't let him off. He was the one who had captured the monk's disciple.
“Can we leave the secret realm now?” Lu Ming turned around and asked.
Bao Duoduo shook his head. “No. According to the records, we must wait until the secret realm closes...”
