Chapter 173: Red Dragon Essence Blood (Third update, bonus for 300 monthly votes)

This was a nearly transparent Glazed Bottle, containing a mass of red liquid suspected to be blood. Even though it was blocked by the Glazed Bottle, Li Zhangsheng still felt a sense of Pressure, as well as a scorching sensation; the surrounding temperature had clearly risen.

Furthermore, every few seconds, this mass of liquid would occasionally transform into the shape of a dragon—the kind of giant dragon with bat wings.

Any giant dragon that possesses a Dragon Clan inheritance is a Quasi-God Exotic Beast, including the white dragon known as the 'Dragon Clan Shame'!

Giant dragons that have not obtained a Dragon Clan inheritance can only be called dragon beasts; they cannot be included in the ranks of Quasi-Gods, and they are not much stronger than the earth dragons or flying dragons that are branches of the giant dragon family.

Of course, among giant dragons, there are also legendary dragon species that are Divine Beasts, such as time dragons, prismatic dragons, and force dragons; just like other Divine Beasts, their numbers are extremely scarce.

"This is?" Li Zhangsheng had a vague guess, but on the surface, he remained calm and composed, not showing any signs of excitement or greed, so as to prevent the other party from asking for an exorbitant price!

"This is Red Dragon Essence Blood!" The plain-looking youth endured the heartache. He was of commoner origin and had luckily obtained a Dark Scroll during the assessment, but he lacked the Soul Crystals to bid for a Light Scroll.

He longed to become an Elite Class Member, which meant he could stand on a higher level and obtain skewed resources from the Academy, and his potential would surely increase greatly.

It was for this reason that he decided to take out the Red Dragon Essence Blood; this was also the most precious item on his person. Originally, he had wanted to wait until he had subdued an excellent Fire-type Fairy to use it, but now he could no longer wait.

If he missed this opportunity to enter the Elite Class, given his conditions and resources, if he waited another year, he would almost certainly have no more chances to become an Elite Class Member.

This was likely his only chance, and he had to grasp it.

Li Zhangsheng looked at the Red Dragon Essence Blood. He did not answer immediately, as the effects of the Red Dragon Essence Blood surfaced in his mind.

Because the effects of giant dragon blood are remarkable, it is often coveted by many Monster Tamers, and Li Zhangsheng was naturally no exception.

The so-called Red Dragon Essence Blood is the blood from the heart area of a red dragon, and its preciousness naturally far exceeds that of ordinary Red Dragon Blood.

An adult red dragon has, at most, only a few catties of Spirit Essence.

Red Dragon Essence Blood: Red dragon extract. If consumed by a Fairy possessing a red dragon Bloodline, it can purify the red dragon Bloodline and potentially lead to evolution; if consumed by a non-red dragon Bloodline Fire-type Fairy, it can grant the effect of Dragon Vein Body Tempering, significantly strengthening the physical body, and has a certain chance to obtain a portion of the red dragon's inheritance. Note: Must not be consumed by non-Fire-type Fairies, otherwise there is a danger of self-detonation!

Dragon Vein Body Tempering is similar to Dragon Blood Body Tempering; both can strengthen physical body intensity. The former's effect is naturally better, but only Fairies with the same attributes as the giant dragon's Spirit Essence can withstand it.

Without a doubt, the Red Dragon Essence Blood has remarkable effects, so its value can be imagined. It is unknown how this plain-looking youth obtained it.

As long as a red dragon is an adult, it is a Lord-rank Fairy, and even among Lord-rank Fairies, it is a very powerful existence. A Dragon Clan Shame like a white dragon would likely not last many rounds under a red dragon.

Seeing the Red Dragon Essence Blood, not only Li Zhangsheng but others also showed expressions of greed. There was no helping it; for Monster Tamers who possess Fairies with red dragon Bloodlines or Fire-type Fairies, this thing is too tempting.

"Three hundred Soul Crystals!" Li Zhangsheng feigned a look of heartache, as if he had offered a very high price.

Although this bottle of Red Dragon Essence Blood was only a few taels, due to its remarkable effects, it was still extremely valuable.

For him right now, the Red Dragon Essence Blood was a treasure that, if missed, would not be found again; it could effectively strengthen his power, so he was naturally determined to obtain it.

Just at this moment, a delicate-looking youth suddenly interjected: "I offer four hundred Soul Crystals!"

Li Zhangsheng was incredibly depressed and felt very unhappy inside. He couldn't help but glare at that guy. This guy was 'driving up' the blood price. If it weren't for this guy's meddling, he could very likely have obtained the Red Dragon Essence Blood at a much lower cost.

Li Zhangsheng also thought of a possibility: this delicate-looking youth might be a shill for the plain-looking youth. Although this possibility was minimal, it still existed, so Li Zhangsheng naturally became more guarded.

"Five hundred Soul Crystals, no more than that. After all, your Red Dragon Essence Blood is too little; who knows if it can even exert its effects!"

Li Zhangsheng put on an appearance that he could only offer this much, while simultaneously staring intently at the delicate-looking youth. If this bottle of Red Dragon Essence Blood were auctioned at an auction house, the final price would very likely exceed four digits of Soul Crystals.

The plain-looking youth subconsciously looked at the delicate-looking youth, hoping the delicate-looking youth would continue to bid so that his Red Dragon Essence Blood could sell for a higher price.

Having just been glared at by Li Zhangsheng and now being stared at intently, it would be a lie to say the delicate-looking youth wasn't panicked. After all, Li Zhangsheng was one of the top existences among the new students; as long as he didn't die prematurely, he would very likely become a Stronger in the future.

However, he didn't want to let go of the Red Dragon Essence Blood either. His Life-Bound Demon Pet was Fire-type, and the Red Dragon Essence Blood could potentially greatly enhance his Life-Bound Demon Pet's strength.

"Right, if I buy the Red Dragon Essence Blood, how will I bid for the Light Scroll?" Suddenly, the delicate-looking youth realized belatedly that his main goal was to bid for the Light Scroll and become an Elite Class Member.

"I give up!" The delicate-looking youth endured the regret and ultimately chose to give up.

The plain-looking youth was inevitably a bit disappointed, but in the end, he nodded and exchanged the Red Dragon Essence Blood for five hundred Low-grade Soul Crystals.

Of these five hundred Low-grade Soul Crystals, three hundred were his own, and the remaining two hundred were the Soul Crystals obtained from selling the Dark Scroll. He would fill the gap after selling the Light Scroll.

In this way, the Soul Crystals in his hands were almost only two Medium-grade Soul Crystals left.

Bankrupt!

Hopefully, the Light Scroll can sell for a good price to make up for his deficit.

"Alright, let's continue the auction for the Light Scroll. The highest bid has reached 280 Soul Crystals. Are there any more bids?"

Compared to the Dark Scroll, the Light Scroll seemed to be more popular.

"300 Soul Crystals!" The plain-looking youth's voice rang out.

"320 Soul Crystals!" The delicate-looking youth gritted his teeth and chose to follow up. He suddenly felt a bit annoyed; his main competitor was the plain-looking youth, and the thought that he had just obtained five hundred Soul Crystals made him feel uneasy.

If the price was too high, the delicate-looking youth could only choose to give up; after all, five hundred Soul Crystals could almost purchase a low-tier Superior Quality Fairy.

Under the constant bidding of the two, the price of the Light Scroll climbed steadily. When the price reached four hundred Soul Crystals, the delicate-looking youth hesitated for a moment and ultimately chose to give up.

"Congratulations on successfully bidding for the Light Scroll!" Li Zhangsheng smiled and handed the Light Scroll to the plain-looking youth.
