Chapter 1190 - 814: Carefree Realm and Essence Blood Exchange
On the third floor of the Duan Family Tavern, opening the room, one also entered the Secret Realm Spiritual Artifact.Unlike the lakeside residence, where lotus blooms cover the lakes and beauties play the harp, here it was like a royal palace, with golden radiant decorations, luxurious and grand, adorned with dragons and phoenixes, showcasing utter dominance.
Furthermore, inside the palace, countless beauties resided, and although some were mortal women, their extraordinary beauty and sheer number, each playing music, made the scene even more astounding.
It made Ye Jingcheng pause for a moment.
"What a carefree realm!" Ye Jingcheng finally uttered after a long pause.
This elicited a burst of laughter from Master Zifu beside him.
He patted Ye Jingcheng on the back, motioning him to proceed inside.
At this moment, a similarly overweight middle-aged cultivator emerged, draped in a dragon robe, with two female cultivators fanning him on the sides.
"Zifu Daoist, you’ve finally arrived; if you were any later, my Dao Heart would have broken prematurely today!" The overweight cultivator said with a grin.
Then he also looked towards Ye Jingcheng.
"And this is..."
"Long Daoist, let me introduce, this is Qianchen Daoist from the Celestial Sand Sect, a Tier Four Middle-grade Alchemist!" Master Zifu introduced.
"Qianchen Daoist, this is one of the renowned independent cultivators of the Central Domain, Golden Core True Master, Long Xunxiang, whose nickname is Xun Xian, a frequent visitor of the Celestial Demon Mountain Range. The number of Golden Core Demon Kings fallen at his hands is not less than ten."
After a brief introduction, the group entered the palace. Long Xunxian clapped his hands, signaling the court women to leave the palace.
Inside, the palace was even more luxurious, with dragon thrones, Dragon Hall, dragon stairs...
Everything you could imagine.
Behind the dragon throne, there was a Spirit Pool, the water inside rippling slightly at this moment, causing the petals floating within to sway along.
Obviously, Long Xunxian’s words during their meeting were no joke.
If they were any later, they might have had to wait for a moment.
"Zifu Daoist, Qianchen Daoist, today’s agenda is?" Long Xunxian asked directly after arranging an array to prevent eavesdropping.
Don’t be misled by Long Xunxian’s laid-back nature when cultivating his Dao Heart, when it comes to business, he exudes remarkable authority.
Especially with his eyes narrowing slightly, seemingly conveying that he was no fool at that moment, advising against attempting to deceive him.
"Qianchen Daoist needs some Demon Beast essence blood for alchemy." Master Zifu spoke directly, without any beating around the bush.
In the Cultivation Realm, there are many methods for refining spirit pills, which often involve Demon Pills, Demon Beast Essence Blood, and other spirit materials.
Thus speaking directly wasn’t inappropriate.
However, Long Xunxian’s expression subtly changed.
"I’ve already discussed the essence blood with Master Qian He from the Hundred Beasts Sect..."
"Long Daoist, Qianchen Daoist is a Tier Four Middle-grade Alchemist, with profoundly pure True Essence, breaking through the Middle Stage of Golden Core, and even the Late Stage of Golden Core is within reach." Master Zifu continued.
Only then did Long Xunxian show a slight change in attitude.
Naturally, he also observed Master Zifu’s expression for a long time before finally nodding.
"Pick three types of essence blood!" Long Xunxian didn’t hesitate, immediately waving his hand, placing a stone table, and then producing six bottles.
Each bottle contained one or two drops of essence blood, while some held three or four drops.
Moreover, these essence bloods were contained in Tier Four Spirit Jade Bottles, but one could still see countless beast shadows vaguely roaring and running within.
Ye Jingcheng glanced over.
He saw Tier Four Wood Flood Dragon Essence Blood, Tier Four Golden Wood Tiger Essence Blood, Tier Four Red Simurgh Essence Blood, Tier Four Frost Yuan Cold Toad Essence Blood, Tier Four Mount Turtle Essence Blood, and Tier Four Cyan Heaven Arm Ape Essence Blood.
Among them, the Wood Flood Dragon Essence Blood belongs to the Tier Four Late Stage Demon King, with Red Simurgh and Cyan Heaven Arm Ape being Tier Four Mid-stage Demon King Essence Blood.
The rest were Tier Four Early Stage Demon King Essence Blood.
Overall, it still left Ye Jingcheng quite astonished.
Although he could gather this much essence blood himself, thanks to his backing from the Beast Taming Clan and the help from Earth Dragon Demon Emperor.
Of course, the other party’s identity as an independent cultivator was naturally in question for him.
He opened his mouth, wanting to ask, but saw Long Xunxian’s eyes narrowing slightly again.
He realized that asking abruptly where the other obtained these might offend them.
Thus it seemed the Celestial Demon Mountain might be a direction for development for the Ye Family.
After pondering for a while, he inquired about the Wood Flood Dragon and Red Simurgh essence blood.
"What treasures or prices for these two essence bloods?"
"Among these, you can only take one." Long Xunxian shook his head directly.
"I’ve promised Master Qian He, so among these three, you can only choose one."
"Then I will take the Wood Flood Dragon Essence Blood!" Ye Jingcheng didn’t make things difficult for Long Xunxian.
"This treasure doesn’t trade for spirit stones, only exchanging for Tier Four Spirit Pills or heavenly treasures for body forging."
"As for the Red Simurgh essence blood beside it, the requirements aren’t high, 800,000 spirit stones would suffice. Don’t think it’s a loss; a Red Simurgh with a wingspan of over one hundred feet has about ten drops of essence blood in total, here are two drops!"
"Cyan Heaven Arm Ape essence blood trades for Tier Four and above water attribute spirit pills, exchanging two pills for four drops." Long Xunxian introduced.
As for the three types of essence blood in the Tier Four Early Stage, he estimated Ye Jingcheng wouldn’t be interested, so he didn’t continue introducing them.
"Wood Flood Dragon Essence Blood!" Ye Jingcheng immediately spoke.
Of all the essence blood here, the Wood Flood Dragon Essence Blood and Red Simurgh Essence Blood were the ones useful to enhance his Five Spirits Secret Technique.
Even though the Red Simurgh Essence Blood is good too, given Ye Jingcheng’s fire attribute Hidden Skill Divine Technique and the drop of Crimson Flame Fox’s essence blood he already possessed.
Naturally, the Red Simurgh Essence Blood wasn’t as significant.
Saying this, Ye Jingcheng also produced a drop of golden liquid birthed from Malachite and a Tier Four Low-grade Profound Flame Pill.
Tier Four Body Refining Spirit Pill, he did not have.
But he had Body Refining Golden Liquid, which was not inferior to Tier Three High-Grade Body Refining Spirit Pill and came without erysipelas.
And upon seeing the high-quality elixir that Ye Jingcheng produced, Long Xunxian nodded.
Then he examined the Body Refining Golden Liquid derived from Malachite.
He looked for a while before nodding his head.
"These two treasures of mine should be more valuable than yours." Ye Jingcheng pointed at the pill pattern on the Profound Flame Pill.
Ordinary elixirs could naturally be exchanged, but elixirs with pill patterns and those without are priced differently.
"Then do choose another drop of essence blood!"
Ye Jingcheng also pointed at the Mount Turtle Essence Blood.
He saw the other party continue adding:
"Although these treasures of yours are rare, there are six drops of essence blood here, and I need twenty thousand spirit stones!"
"Alright!" Ye Jingcheng nodded and took out a storage bag.
The spirit stones in this storage bag were leftover when he pawned spirit pills.
"However, Long Daoist, these essence bloods could not have been collected solely by one person; with your powerful cultivation, having only these essence bloods?" Ye Jingcheng asked after exchanging the Wood Flood Dragon Blood.
Upon hearing this, Long Xunxian furrowed his brows.
It seemed he was somewhat irritated by Ye Jingcheng’s revelation.
Then, he glanced meaningfully at Master Zifu, then calmed down and looked at Ye Jingcheng.
"Qianchen Daoist, aren’t these essence bloods enough?"
"For ordinary people, of course, it is enough, but I am a Tier Four Middle-grade Alchemist, naturally not sufficient!" Ye Jingcheng said, then he directly produced a Green Water Half-Flood Dragon Pill of Tier Four Middle-grade.
The Cyan Flood Dragon Pill had a faint pill pattern on it.
This showcased Ye Jingcheng’s alchemy skills, possibly reaching the level of a Tier Four High-grade Alchemist.
Otherwise, it would be impossible, with pill patterns on Lower Grade Tier Four Fire Attribute Spirit Pills, and also on Middle Grade Tier Four Spirit Pills.
Although just a faint layer, it was enough to prove Ye Jingcheng’s alchemical prowess.
"Long Daoist, your purpose in coming to Wangqing Prefecture is not merely to hone your Dao Heart!"
"There should be another purpose related to looking for Demon Luring Materials, for instance, this kind of Demon-enticing Pill?" Ye Jingcheng produced a new bottle of spirit pills.
The spirit pills were refined using Tier Three Demon-enticing Grass into Tier Three Demon-enticing Pill.
"How did you see through it?" Long Xunxian suddenly became extremely cautious.
This caught Ye Jingcheng off guard.
For a moment, he did not know how to respond.
If Long Xunxian’s disguise was quite successful in front of others, it seemed too obvious and flawed before Ye Jingcheng from the Beast Taming Clan.
After all, one could hone the Dao Heart anywhere, and Celestial Demon Mountain Range was not easily navigated.
Obtaining so much essence blood could not possibly be the work of one person, and it would be too costly for one individual to accomplish this.
The remaining possibilities were just two; either luring to kill or luring to deceive, as he did at Celestial Departure Grassland, where he almost captured Xilu Demon King’s essence blood.
"There are also demon beasts in the Desert Sea that once resisted for a while." Ye Jingcheng replied.
"Indeed, as you stated, Celestial Demon Mountain Range has a specialized Independent Cultivator Alliance; if you can supply Demon-enticing Pill, we may obtain essence blood and capture spirit beast cubs for you!"
"You should know there was a Red Flame Celestial Lion; we sold it!" Long Xunxian spoke again.
Ye Jingcheng naturally knew of this cub, which exchanged for a Tier Four Middle Grade Magical Treasure.
Now hearing that these people brought it, he finally understood why.
"As for higher grades of essence blood, only this drop is left!" Long Xunxian still took out a jade bottle.
This jade bottle glowed brilliantly, containing only a drop of essence blood, precisely the Golden Roc Demon King’s essence blood.
It was just right for the Tier Four Golden Falcon Pill.
Moreover, the Golden Roc Demon King was a Tier Four Late Stage Demon King; with such essence blood, it could definitely change the status of the Golden Falcon.
"In exchange for your Tier Four Middle-grade Pill Pattern Cyan Flood Dragon Pill, you also owe me a chance for pill refining?" Long Xunxian directly stated his demand.
According to Master Zifu, this essence blood was Long Xunxian’s bottom-box essence blood.
So the demand was quite high.
After all, Ye Jingcheng’s Tier Four Middle-grade Cyan Flood Dragon Pill with a pill pattern was quite precious, just for the exchange of a drop of essence blood, including a free pill refining opportunity.
Upon hearing this, it seemed Ye Jingcheng would indeed lose out.
However, when exchanging treasures, everyone gets what they need.
It’s not about loss and gain.
Ye Jingcheng nodded in agreement.
Missing this opportunity, he might truly be unable to find the suitable essence blood for the Golden Falcon.
Also, he feared the other party might sell it to the Hundred Beasts Sect.
After exchanging the treasures, the group’s relationship became closer.
Ye Jingcheng even sold some Demon-enticing Pills.
Once all exchanges completed, Ye Jingcheng left means to communicate mutually, then bid farewell.
Neither Master Zifu nor Long Xunxian came out, the two evidently wanted to further explore the Carefree Realm.
