"Old man, is this price too high?"

Dugu Bo tried to bargain with the stall owner.

The stall owner was not moved at all and sneered:
"You think it's too expensive? Then don't buy it. This scorpion claw soul bone is a one-of-a-kind treasure. If you miss it, it will be gone forever."

Although the price is not cheap, it is worth considering the rarity of soul bones and their importance in the poison-making recipe.

Dugu Bo still thinks that it is worth the money. After all, when you really need something like soul bones, you may not be able to buy them even if you have money.

then.

Dugu Bo gritted his teeth and said without any hesitation:

"Old man, I want this pair of soul bones!"

After saying that, Dugu Bo handed over 500,000 gold soul coins to the stall owner and completed the transaction happily.

After the transaction was completed, Dugu Bo was carefully putting away the Scorpion Pincer Soul Bone.

A voice shouted anxiously to Dugu Bo from a distance:

“Put it down, put it down!”

When Dugu Bo heard the sudden shout, his hand paused slightly, he stopped collecting the soul bones, and turned to look in the direction where the voice came from.

They saw three burly men walking towards them in a hurry, with a condescending aura.

"We were the first to set our eyes on this pair of soul bones!"

Dugu Bo frowned and asked doubtfully:
"You were the first to see it? But I've already reached a deal with the stall owner, and the money and goods are settled."

A man in the middle turned to the stall owner and asked:
"Why did you sell it so quickly? Why didn't you keep it for us? Didn't I say I'd come back to see it later?"

The old stall owner didn't tolerate him either:
"If you want to buy, pay. If you don't want to buy, get out. There's no such thing as keeping it."

The man also realized that he was in the wrong, and then said:
"Then how about this, Boss? I'll pay more! You sell it to me!"

Dugu Bo was also worried at this time whether the stall owner would change his mind at the last minute.

The movements of his hands also became slower, and he seemed to be packing his things nonchalantly.

In fact, he listened to their conversation with his ears perked up, for he was really afraid that his soul bone would be intercepted.

Then the stall owner just waved his hand, pointed at Dugu Bo who was packing up his things, and said lightly:
"Go away, I'm not the boss. If you want to pay more, go find him. He's the owner now."

Hearing the stall owner's words, Dugu Bo smiled knowingly, and he could finally put his mind at ease.

I didn't expect this old man to be so righteous! He won't give back the money he has sold even if others pay more.

at this time
The three burly men all turned their gazes to Dugu Bo, their eyes revealing anxiety and unwillingness.

The leading man stepped forward, clasped his fists towards Dugu Bo and said:
"My friend, to be honest, this pair of scorpion claw soul bones is extremely important to the three of us brothers. We are willing to pay a higher price to buy it from you. I hope you will help me."

Dugu Bo raised his head slightly, looked at them calmly, and said slowly:
"I'm sorry. Although I understand your need for this soul bone, it took me a lot of effort to buy it. Besides, I have my reasons for not having it."

Seeing this, another man said anxiously:

"My friend, how about this? We offer 600,000 gold soul coins, which is 100,000 higher than the price you paid. You can also make some money from it. Why not do it?" Dugu Bo still shook his head firmly:

"It's not that I'm greedy for money, but this soul bone has a special meaning to me, and I really can't give it up."

The man frowned, seemingly unwilling to give up.

"My friend, you may not know that this thing has a special meaning to me. Please name a price. As long as it is reasonable, I will satisfy you."

There was a hint of pleading in his tone.

Dugu Bo shook his head slightly, ignored him, and continued to pack his things.

He didn't want to destroy his principles because of momentary greed, and he was not short of money.

Seeing Dugu Bo so determined, the man was a little angry, but helpless.

He glared at Dugu Bo fiercely, then turned to the stall owner and complained:

"You old man, how could you sell the things so easily without waiting for me?"

The old stall owner snorted disdainfully:
"I told you, pay if you want to buy, don't complain if you don't want to buy. They paid first, so the things are theirs. What do you have to complain about?"

At this time.

The third man looked angry and shouted:
"Don't refuse a toast and then drink a forfeit. If you insist on not selling it, don't blame us for being rude."

When Zhuge Lan heard this, he immediately flew into a rage. He stepped forward and stood in front of Dugu Bo, pointing at the three men and cursing:
"Who do you think you are? How dare you threaten us here? The soul bone is already ours. Come and grab it if you have the guts!"

The scene suddenly became tense, with both sides on the verge of a fight.

However, this confrontation did not attract the attention of the people around.

At most, only passers-by would look up, while the rest of the stall owners were still shouting, and the buyers were bargaining, and everything was going on as usual.

It seems that this situation happens frequently in this ghost market.

Dugu Bo reached out to stop Zhuge Lan, his eyes sharpened, and he said to the three men:

"I have no intention of getting into a conflict with you, but I am not someone who is afraid of trouble. I will not sell this soul bone to you today. If you want to rob it, you can try, but you will have to bear the consequences yourself."

When they heard Dugu Bo introduce himself, the faces of the three men changed slightly.

They had obviously heard of Dugu Bo's name and knew that he was a powerful Titled Douluo.

The leading man hesitated for a moment and said tremblingly:
"It turns out to be Senior Poison Douluo Dugubo. I have heard of your great name for a long time. I didn't expect that Senior would value this soul bone so much. We were also influenced by Master Poison Douluo and prefer to study poisonous things, so we took a fancy to this pair of scorpion claw soul bones. Who would have thought that we would meet our idol! Since the idol also needs this soul bone, we will not force it today, but we hope that the idol will remember our kindness in the future!"

After saying that, the man glanced at the other two men, and then the three men turned around and left in shame.

Zhuge Lan said with some dissatisfaction: "Emotion? What emotion do they have? They were stingy and wanted to bargain, but when they failed and saw that others had gotten there first, they wanted to snatch it back by force. You old bastard, are you just going to let them go? They were so arrogant just now. I was eager to punch them. I really want to punch them a few times!"

Dugu Bo smiled and said:
"Less trouble is worse than more trouble. We have already obtained the soul bone, and our goal has been achieved. Let's go. The auction hasn't even started yet, and I have already spent most of my money. What if there are better ones at the auction, and I end up being short of money? That would be a huge loss."

Dugu Bo looked at the Scorpion Pincer Soul Bone that he had obtained at a huge price and howled to the sky.

"I hope you can be useful." (End of this chapter)
