Chapter 419: A Woman’s Logic

This three-headed, six-armed corpse no longer falls within the category of the Human Race.

Let alone Wuhuang Province, even the other provinces of the Nine Provinces would likely send people to snatch this corpse if they heard the news.

A three-headed, six-armed human whose aura after death reached the Pi Hai Realm and remained incorruptible for ten thousand years…

It looked extremely eerie; it had a human face, but its gender was indistinguishable.

What kind of Divine Power must this corpse have possessed in life to achieve such a state?!

Xiao Fan was full of shock. He had many Spirit Stones on him now, but compared to this, it was like comparing a drop in the ocean…

His meager amount of Spirit Stones wasn't worth a damn in comparison.

Gan Ning naturally didn't have that many Spirit Stones on him either, but the reputation of the Piaomiao Immortal Palace was a sufficient guarantee.

He had already contacted his Sect to have them send Spirit Stones, while also requesting they dispatch experts to escort the corpse back.

Pavilion Master Yan Tong and the others were quite satisfied; they had made a fortune from this auction.

Most of the items in this auction had been provided internally by the Treasure Pavilion.

The three-headed, six-armed corpse was taken by Gan Ning.

Feng Wuxiu, Mo Xiaoyao, and the three Elders of the Jixian Sect watched, lost in thought…

They naturally knew what this corpse represented.

It could very well be the corpse of a legendary Immortal!

In the cultivation world, even if one reached the Pi Hai Realm or even higher,

their Lifespan would increase greatly to several thousand years, but they still could not escape the Reincarnation of the Heavenly Dao.

Even as powerful as the Old Ancestors of the Four Great Forces, they would still fall and see the day their Lifespan ran out.

Yet, this corpse had remained incorruptible for ten thousand years!

'Alright, this auction concludes here,' Pavilion Master Yan Tong said, cupping his fists to the crowd.

As the auction ended, everyone began to depart…

The gazes of many hidden experts were fixed on Gan Ning.

Even though they knew he was an Elder of the Piaomiao Immortal Palace with strength at the Great Perfection of the Yuanhun Realm,

that three-headed, six-armed corpse was simply too tempting.

If they could obtain that corpse, they might unlock the secret of immortality.

It was truly a priceless treasure.

Warrior Feng, Elder Yin Su, and Elder Shi Pin led Xiao Fan and the others away.

Feng Wuxiu and Mo Xiaoyao did the same, leading the Disciples of Ziyun Cave Heaven and the Thunder Fire Sect away.

Gan Ning was in no rush to leave. Besides the Yuanhun Realm experts from the Four Great Forces, several old monsters who had been in hiding in Wuhuang Province for years were also present.

Staying at the Treasure Pavilion was much safer, as he currently had Pavilion Master Yan Tong, a Pi Hai Realm expert, by his side.

'Elder Yan, I'll have to trouble you for now,' Gan Ning said politely, cupping his fists to Pavilion Master Yan Tong.

Pavilion Master Yan Tong nodded. 'It is only right.'

Although the corpse had been auctioned, as long as Gan Ning remained within the Auction House, he was under the protection of the Treasure Pavilion.

The Piaomiao Immortal Palace was dispatching a large number of experts to ensure the corpse could be safely transported back to the Sect.

They would also be bringing the Spirit Stones with them.

This corpse was, by all accounts, a priceless object…

Logically, if the Treasure Pavilion had obtained such a corpse, they should have kept it hidden and handled it discreetly.

Yet, they had auctioned it off so publicly, which raised many questions…

However, none of that mattered for now; the corpse had to be secured.

Xiao Fan and the others first returned to the inn…

They had three Yuanhun Realm Elders with them, and they hadn't bid on many items.

There weren't many people in Wuhuang Province foolish enough to seek trouble with them.

The situation was similar for Feng Wuxiu, Mo Xiaoyao, and the others.

They were all at the Great Perfection of the Yuanhun Realm; unless a Pi Hai Realm expert intervened, they were perfectly safe.

'Prepare yourselves. We leave tomorrow,'

Elder Yin Su told everyone.

Normally, they wouldn't be in such a hurry to leave, but the appearance of the three-headed, six-armed Immortal corpse changed things.

They were worried that the Imperial Capital might become unsafe.

Xiao Fan and the others naturally had no objections and all agreed.

Back in his room, Xiao Fan received a message via communication jade slip from Qiao Rong.

An hour later, Xiao Fan left the inn.

It was already dark outside…

The city was bustling; the Treasure Pavilion auction had concluded…

As he walked down the street, people everywhere were discussing the auction.

The Earth Rank High Grade black saber and the three-headed, six-armed corpse were being spoken of as if they were legendary…

Everyone had begun to call the corpse by the same name…

The Immortal's Corpse.

The meeting place this time was once again a gambling house,

though not the same one as before.

Xiao Fan arrived as agreed. Qiao Rong was waiting on the first floor and led him directly into a Secret Room.

'I say… are all of the Treasure Pavilion's strongholds located in gambling houses?!'

After entering the Secret Room, Xiao Fan sat down, feeling curious.

'You figured it out,' Qiao Rong smiled and explained, 'Let's just say that eighty percent of the gambling houses in Wuhuang Province are connected to our Treasure Pavilion…'

'These places are a melting pot of all sorts of people, making it very convenient for gathering information. Do you understand?'

Xiao Fan nodded, finding her reasoning sound.

The Secret Room was large, about the same size as the one they had met in previously.

Elder Qiao wasn't there; it was just him and Qiao Rong.

'Where is your grandfather?' Xiao Fan asked, puzzled.

'He's still at the Auction House and can't leave. Until the people from the Piaomiao Immortal Palace arrive, he's stuck there…' Qiao Rong sighed, then glanced at Xiao Fan. 'Why?'

'Are you unhappy to be alone with me?'

'Uh…?'

Xiao Fan was speechless. Was a woman's logic always this strange?
