Chapter 1496 - 90: The Uninvited Guest
Spiritual Treasures are inherently precious.
Spiritual Treasures that harmonize with the Great Dao are even more valuable.
Actually, when cultivated to the Yin God Realm, even those who complete their promotion by consuming elixirs as "Fake Yin Gods," are quite important figures in a Holy Land. Such Great Cultivators usually possess at least one Spiritual Treasure. But to obtain a Spiritual Treasure that harmonizes with one’s own Great Dao requires "luck."
In the Demon Country, there is also a black market similar to "Fangyuan Square."
As long as one has enough Primordial Pills, Spiritual Treasures can be bought.
However, such Spiritual Treasures are often of average grade and have higher general use. Wanting a Spiritual Treasure that harmonizes with the Great Dao requires either excellent luck or asking an Artifact Refining Master to custom make one, the latter’s cost being several times, even tens of times more than the former!
"Brother Lu."
Ming San took a long time to regain his composure.
He restrained his anger and forced a smile: "Your demand is too outrageous, I cannot meet it."
Who knows what Taoist Intent this guy cultivates!
Ming San himself doesn’t have two Spiritual Treasures that harmonize with his Taoist Intent!
"One drop of Phoenix Blood is not worth two Spiritual Treasures."
"If you are willing to trade, I can only give you one Spiritual Treasure."
Netherworld Third Young Master took a deep breath and said, "However, you can choose from my ’Spirit Treasure Library’... Whether you can pick one that harmonizes with the Great Dao depends on your luck. Consider this over the next couple of days, Brother Lu, if you decide, feel free to contact me anytime."
This guy surnamed Lu is really blind!
No wonder he is not favored by Red Flame Great Venerable in Heavenly Phoenix Palace!
Having said that.
He voluntarily cut off the Jade Order’s communication.
This trade, he has already shown enough sincerity.
Further discussions aren’t meaningful.
The main thing is...
Ming San clearly felt his blood pressure rising.
He was afraid that further discussions might cause him to lose face publicly.
There were many Great Demons in the Xuanchen Pavilion.
The detail of sending a maid to interact specifically with Lu Buzhen didn’t go unnoticed by most, but a small portion of Venerables probably noticed.
"Phew."
Ming San exhaled a breath of turbid air.
At this moment.
The matter of borrowing blood was nearing its end.
Those Venerables willing to trade had already received their rewards and offered Demon Blood.
"Thank you all for your assistance today."
Netherworld Third Young Master stood up and bowed politely, sincerely saying: "This kindness, Ming San will remember in his heart, if anyone has a need in the future, just let me know."
After saying these graceful words.
Ming San then left.
...
...
"Did the negotiation fail?"
Ao Ying transmitted her voice.
The negotiation between Xie Xuanyi and Ming San did not avoid her; Xie Xuanyi even intentionally split a thread of Divine Thought, allowing Ao Ying to "listen in."
At this moment.
Ming San’s proactive ending and refusal of Xie Xuanyi’s proposal of two Spiritual Treasures seemed like a negotiation breakdown to Ao Ying.
"Ha."
Xie Xuanyi chuckled and shook his head.
Negotiation breakdown?
No...
Quite the opposite, in Xie Xuanyi’s eyes, it is just starting.
"Daring to ask for two Spiritual Treasures indicates that I have ’Phoenix Blood.’
Xie Xuanyi gazed at Ming San’s departing figure and calmly said: "In a few days, if he can’t find the right candidate, he’ll still have to come to me."
"That’s sensible."
"But... you’re probably not interested in Demon Country’s Spiritual Treasures."
Ao Ying frowned and murmured: "Our goal should be the invitation to the Great Saint Mountain..."
Upon saying this.
She suddenly realized!
In terms of value—
For Ming San, the invitation to the Great Saint Mountain is far less valuable than a single Spiritual Treasure.
But if Xie Xuanyi directly asks for the invitation... Ming San might perceive it as odd and may not necessarily be willing to give it.
Sometimes, the greedier one is, the more likely they are to get what they want.
Two Spiritual Treasures, Ming San isn’t willing to give.
But if it’s one Spiritual Treasure, plus the invitation to the Great Saint Mountain...
Ming San would be very happy to accept.
"But you’re not truly a Phoenix Bloodline; how will you give him ’Phoenix Blood’?"
Ao Ying was once again troubled.
To trade with Ming San requires providing the Lifebound Demon Blood of the Phoenix Clan.
If it were Dragon Blood, it would be easier; she could handle it.
"Phoenix Blood?"
Xie Xuanyi hearing the words seemed to hear a joke.
He sat in a wheelchair, smiling as he looked nearby: "Phoenix Blood... is it very rare? Isn’t there a Great Cultivator with Phoenix Blood right in front of us?"
"You mean..."
Ao Ying was momentarily stunned.
In today’s Demon Country, Dragon and Phoenix Bloodlines are the most precious and rarest!
But coincidentally.
There is a Great Demon with Phoenix Blood right today in the Xuanchen Pavilion!
"We are all from the same sect."
Xie Xuanyi’s eyes settled on the Venerable Yuan Huo nearby, calmly saying: "If the junior brother needs it, the senior brother... naturally should help."
...
...
"Brother Yuan Huo, Qing Ming Daoist Friend."
"Thank you both for attending today; you genuinely helped me a lot."
As the banquet at Xuanchen Pavilion ended, the gathered Great Demons dispersed.
Yuan Huo and Qing Ming, these two Great Cultivators, were kept separately.
Netherworld Third Young Master personally thanked them and prepared Primordial Pills as gifts.
In fact.
Today, almost all Venerables gave Ming San face in this "borrowing blood" matter.
Only Yuan Huo and Qing Ming didn’t agree.
But Ming San didn’t show any neglect...
The reason is simple.
Both have Yang God Venerables backing them.
This is the Demon Country.
The weak are prey to the strong, with a strict hierarchy, even at the Yin God level, one must consider their backing forces.
"Third Young Master is too courteous."
Yuan Huo did not accept the Primordial Pills, calmly saying: "Apologies... I am currently at a crucial point in my cultivation, hence cannot lend this drop of ’Life Essence Blood.’
"What are you saying?"
Ming San laughed heartily, acting as if he didn’t mind at all: "Brother Yuan Huo’s cultivation is the top priority. If this drop of Essence Blood delays the Yang God promotion, that’s ’losing more than gaining.’ I have already prepared a generous gift, just waiting for the good news of Brother Yuan Huo’s promotion."
