Chapter 49: Ghostly Stab

  "This is the remaining few Bi Mu pearls from last time, normally each one can sell for 3 to 4 years of life gauge, if you want to get rid of them all at once, I'm afraid we'll have to discount it and only sell it for 1 to 2 years of life gauge." Ma Fei picked up the Bi Mu pearls and played with them for a bit, then saw the few Wu Ji crystal plates and said in surprise: "Bai Ge, aren't you fond of collecting Wu Ji crystal plates? Why are you selling all of them off now? What exactly happened?"

  "I'm preparing to upgrade to Viscount, so I need a large amount of Life Degrees to buy a piece of equipment," said Bai Cangdong.

  "White Brother, you're going to be promoted to Viscount so soon? This is no small matter, you must think carefully and make thorough preparations." Ma Fei said in surprise.

  Bai Cang nodded slightly and didn't say anything else.

  "The price of the Wuji Crystal Plates is actually similar to that of the Wuji manuals, at most it can be doubled. These few crystal plates, each one's price is roughly around three to five years. Putting down the crystal plate, Ma Fei looked towards the other martial equipment: "The quality of these martial equipment is not bad, each item's price should all be above ten years. Ba Ge, your things added together, should be able to sell for over a hundred years of life marks, this is no small sum."

  "Can you help me sell it in a short time?" asked Bai Cangdong.

  "Give me ten days and it should be no big deal." Ma Fei thought for a moment before saying.

  "Alright, it's up to you now, help me sell it as soon as possible."

  "White Brother, which piece of equipment are you planning to buy? The equipment for advancing to Viscount is priceless, and the hundred-year life mark is not a small amount, but wanting to buy that kind of equipment still seems a bit short."

  "What I want to buy is the Ghost Stinger, do you have any information about this equipment?" Bai Cangdong knew that there were two people in Dalun City who possessed the Ghost Stinger. As the leader of the Dalun Society and with a large amount of life points, he thought it wouldn't be difficult to buy the Ghost Stinger from those two people.

  "Ghost Stinger, this armor seems to only work on the Divine Archeress, are you planning on killing her, White Brother?!" Ma Fei's face turned pale with shock.

  "Yes." Bai Cangdong knew that this matter could not be hidden no matter what, as soon as he made a move to buy the Ghost Stinger, it would soon be known by everyone.

  "How could you choose the Goddess Archer? Her own strength can be ranked in the top ten among all Viscount-level undead, and with her residence and flight ability, it can almost be said that she is one of the most difficult Viscount-level undead to kill."

  "I have a way to deal with her, don't worry."

  "I hope you've thought it through carefully, White Brother." After a pause, Ma Fei continued, "If you want to buy Ghost Piercer, there's actually a good opportunity coming up. From what I know, the six or seven Ghost Piercers that have appeared in Blade City are all gone, and some of them are unaccounted for. There are currently four Ghost Piercers left in Blade City, one of which is in the hands of Eight Finger Earl. Recently, he's been having some trouble and needs a large amount of Life Degrees, so he's planning to auction off some equipment, including that Ghost Piercer. Our family has also received an invitation, and at that time, White Brother, you can come with me."

  "How many lifetimes would it take to buy that Ghost Slayer?" asked Bai Cangdong.

  "Although the Ghost Piercer is a Baron-level equipment that can dispel the Undead Light, its limitations are too great, and it's only effective against Divine Archer girls, so the price shouldn't be too high. With over 100 years of life span, I should be able to get it for sure."

  Bai Cang was relieved a lot. These things could sell for hundreds of years, and he himself still had 50 or 60 years of life to spare, so he should be able to get that Ghost Piercer.

  Ma Fei's efficiency was indeed very fast, and in just four days, he sold out all the things from Bai Cangdong, exchanging them for more than 110 years of life marks.

  The Viscount of Eight Fingers has been having a streak of bad luck lately and in order to pay off his gambling debts, he could only bear the pain of selling some of his family heirlooms.

  He gave himself the title of "Eight Fingered Marquis" because he used to be a compulsive gambler. He had two fingers chopped off as punishment for his gambling addiction, and he used the title "Eight Fingers" to remind himself not to gamble again.

  But people are always hard to get rid of, the eight-fingered viscount still can't quit gambling, fortunately he is now a viscount, and there aren't many people who dare to chop off his fingers.

  However, debts must still be repaid.

  When Bai Cangdong arrived at the Eighth Marquis's mansion, many of the marquises had already arrived. Upon seeing Bai Cangdong, they would all come up to greet him, after all, he was now the president of the Knife Lun Society and one of the more powerful figures in Knife Lun City.

  Found a place to sit down, the auction started soon after, and the first few items were not Bai Cangdong's target, but they were all very precious treasures. The cheapest one was sold at the price of 50 years of life, and the most expensive one was sold at the sky-high price of 180 years of life.

  "This piece of Ghostslayer doesn't need my introduction, I suppose. A Night Valley product, although it's only a Baron-level equipment, but for Barons who need to be promoted to Viscount, this is a priceless treasure. Now, there are only three in the entire Blade City, one hanging in the Earl's mansion as decoration, another in the hands of Viscount Wanlong, and that old man has no intention of selling it out. So, this is your only chance. The starting price is 100 years of Life Measure, you can bid freely now."

  "Old Eight Fingers, what are you babbling about? Everyone here knows that the Ghost Stinger can only pierce the Undying Light of the Goddess Archer, a hundred years of life force. You'd better keep that thing to yourself." Someone in the audience laughed and said.

  "Cough, after all, it's still a top-notch baron-level martial art. Let's just bid on it." The Octuple Viscount shouted several times, but the scene below was somewhat chilly, and no one was willing to make an offer for this Ghost Stab.

  "I bid 110 years." Just as the Eighth Finger Viscount regretted that he had asked for too high a price and this ghostly spear would not sell, someone suddenly bid from below the stage.

  Everyone's eyes were focused on that person, and when they saw the bidder was Bai Cangdong, everyone's faces also became complicated.

  "Is there anyone who can offer a higher price than 110 years of life for this Ghost Piercer? If not, then it belongs to Bai Shaoxiang!" The Eight Fingered Marquis asked only two questions before immediately shouting "Sold!", as if he was afraid that Bai Shaoxiang would change his mind.

  Bai Cang got the Ghost Thorn smoothly and was also very excited in his heart.

  The news of Bai Cangdong's purchase of Guici at the Viscount's auction spread quickly throughout the upper class of Dalu City, and many viscounts were discussing it.

  "That little brat is really getting on my nerves, he actually dares to have designs on the Goddess Archer."

  "After becoming the president of the Knife Lun Society, he really thought he was a big shot and didn't even look at himself to see what kind of person he was, yet he still dared to provoke the Goddess Archer, it's simply asking for death."

  "I see, the president of the Douluo Continent is going to change again."

  "The current baron is really bold, thinking back to when I was promoted to viscount, I didn't dare think about the Divine Archer, even with the Black Death Knife, it was a nine-to-one chance of survival to defeat the Holy Light Wolf and be promoted to viscount. That Divine Archer is at least ten times more formidable than the Holy Light Wolf."

  Almost no one in the entire city of Daluo thought highly of Bai Cao'er, and everyone believed that if Bai Cao'er really dared to go find the Divine Archer, he would definitely die.

  Bai Cangdong didn't pay attention to the rumors outside and after obtaining the Ghost Thorn, he began planning when to set off for Gu Tian Ya.

  "Little man, are you really going to slay the Goddess Archer!" Red Lotus Madam appeared quietly in the room, seeing Bai Cangdong packing his luggage, and said with some surprise.

  "I've been preparing for a long time, and it's also time to advance to Viscount." Bai Cangdong said calmly.

  "Have you been preparing for a long time? Are you joking? You've only just become a baron, it's not even been a year yet. And with just that little bit of preparation, you think you can go and kill the Goddess Archer? I think you're crazy." Lady Red Lotus' voice was tinged with a hint of anger.

  "I'm confident, you don't have to worry."

  "You must be out of your mind, with so many viscounts in Doland City, who didn't spend decades preparing before being promoted? You've only just been promoted to baron for a year and you're already thinking about becoming a viscount, and on top of that, you want to go kill the Goddess Archer. I think you purely want to go seek death." Lady Honglian's words became more and more infuriated.

  Bai Cangdong didn't argue back and simply packed up his own things.

  "Bai Cangdong, listen to me, I won't let you go." Hong Lianfu said angrily.

  "I've already decided to go." Bai Cangdong replied calmly.

  "Is it for Yan Mengyun?" Hong Lian's wife bit her lower lip and asked, suppressing her anger.

  Bai Cangdong didn't answer, but instead put the packed luggage aside and sat on the bed looking at Hong Lianfu. After a while, he finally spoke up: "If I still have my life when I come back, I will fulfill my promise and help you get that thing."

  "Are you determined to go?" Madame Honglian had calmed down by now, her eyes coldly fixed on Bai Canghai.

  "I have to go." Bai Cangdong replied succinctly.

  "Then go die." Hong Lian's wife casually threw something at Bai Cangdong's face and stormed out the door in a rage.

  Bai Cang Dong caught something that was sliding down from his face, only to discover that it was a piece of armor, a male Baron-level golden armor silk armor.

  Cicada shell: light as if nothing, tough like steel.

  Holding the silk armor, Bai Cang's heart was somewhat moved. Hong Lian Furen wasn't really that ruthless and heartless, at least not to him.

  Wearing his silk armor and carrying his pack on his back, Bai Cang East took one last look at his little nest before quietly closing the door and striding out of Daolun City, heading straight for Gū Tiān Cliff.

  On the city wall, Hong Lian looked at Bai Cang's gradually disappearing back and her expression was extremely strange: "He's really a weird guy, sometimes selfish and timid to death, but sometimes persistent and terrifying, I hope you can come back alive."
