Chapter 294: Sale

"This is the atavistic bloodline essence blood of a demon beast. The demon python you killed looks like it has a great background. Only demon beasts with second-rank potential or above can condense this kind of essence blood in their bodies." The Ge-cloth old man was surprised when he saw the emerald green small horn in the box and heard its origin.

"Atavistic bloodline essence blood? Is the blood thread in the horn very precious?" Wang Yu asked curiously when he saw the old man's reaction.

"Whether it is precious or not is hard to say. It depends on whether you meet someone who happens to need this kind of atavistic essence blood. If you meet them, it can be sold at a very high price. If you don't meet them, it doesn't have much value." Li Shishu picked up the emerald green small horn, observed the blood threads in the horn carefully against the air for a while, and then said solemnly.

"What does Shishu mean by this? What is so special about this atavistic essence blood?" Wang Yu asked again.

"Atavistic bloodline essence blood, as the name suggests, is to restore the most powerful ancestor's essence blood in the bloodline of the demon beast, thereby allowing the demon beast to grow to a stronger level in the future.

Usually, the first-rank or second-rank potential we tell you only refers to the highest realm that this type of demon beast can grow to. But with atavistic essence blood, there is a possibility of breaking through the racial bottleneck and evolving into another higher-rank demon beast.

Similarly, if we human bloodline practitioners want to further awaken or even evolve our bloodlines, we also need related atavistic essence blood to have a possibility, and this atavistic essence blood of yours should be no small matter." Li Shishu put the small horn back into the box and said cautiously to Wang Yu.

"So that's how it is. But what does this 'no small matter' mean?" Wang Yu was enlightened first, then asked curiously.

"According to your narration, this horn was peeled off from the meat lump on the python's head, which shows that this python would grow a horn on its head next, which already has a trace of Jiao-dragon transformation. So the essence blood in the horn is eight or nine out of ten some kind of atavistic Jiao-dragon essence blood.

You already know the power of this kind of demon beast, the Jiao-dragon. Even the weakest Gray Jiao has third-rank strength when adult, while slightly stronger ones like Bai Jiao or Green Jiao have fourth-rank power when adult. As for the legendary Gold and Silver Jiao-dragons, it is said that they can summon wind and rain, overturn rivers and seas, and their supernatural powers are unfathomable." Li Shishu talked eloquently.

"In that case, if this essence blood in the horn is really atavistic Jiao-dragon essence blood, doesn't it have fourth-rank potential?" Wang Yu looked at the small horn in the box, his eyes almost straight. 【2

"Haha, you are overthinking this. How could a low-rank python beast that isn't even second rank possess a dragon bloodline strong enough to be considered ancestral? Nine times out of ten, it is just the most common gray dragon essence blood."

"But even so, if one encounters someone who needs dragon blood and wants to try their luck with the relevant bloodline, selling it for six or seven thousand spirit stones is still an easy matter," Uncle-Master Li said with a laugh.

"Only six or seven thousand spirit stones?" Wang Yu revealed a trace of disappointment upon hearing this.

"What are you thinking? With just these few strands of ancestral essence blood, even if it is dragon essence blood, how high a price could it fetch? Six or seven thousand spirit stones is already a relatively optimistic estimate."

"By the way, I just remembered that crocodilian demon beasts also have the possibility of evolving into dragons. Why not just let your spirit beast consume this essence blood? Even if it cannot stimulate bloodline evolution, it will certainly have some benefits," Uncle-Master Li said, smiling as he offered a suggestion to Wang Yu.

"If it is useful for crocodilian spirit beasts, then couldn't I consume it too? The bloodline I awakened is precisely the Iron-Eating Crocodile," Wang Yu thought for a moment, then suddenly said to the old man with some excitement.

"Nephew Wang, you don't really intend to consume this ancestral essence blood directly, do you?" Seeing Wang Yu's eager expression, Uncle-Master Li could not help but be rendered speechless.

"Why, can it not be consumed?" Wang Yu sensed something and asked, blinking his eyes.

"Hehe, it can certainly be consumed, but not directly. It must be used as a primary ingredient to be refined into pills. The consequences of consuming it like this are unpredictable," Uncle-Master Li said slowly.

"This nephew understands. We are not demon beasts; consuming the ancestral essence blood of demon beasts directly will naturally lead to problems," Wang Yu replied, immediately enlightened.

"It is good that Nephew Wang knows. But if you wish to sell it directly, this old man can offer six thousand spirit stones to purchase it. After all, this old man really does want to study dragon essence blood," Uncle-Master Li said with another smile.

"This nephew does not have that intention for now. If I truly have the desire to sell, I will certainly come to you first, Uncle-Master," Wang Yu replied without a second thought.

The gray-robed old man nodded upon hearing this.

Inside a certain hall of the General Affairs Hall.

On a large table lay a dozen low-rank magical artifacts of various styles, most of them wreathed in wisps of black Qi, carrying a distinct demonic style. Among them, a small black sword wrapped in blood-colored threads was particularly eye-catching.

A lean, middle-aged man was inspecting these artifacts one by one beside the table. His speed was very fast; in a moment, he had finished checking them all, and then he spoke to Wang Yu, who was also standing by the table.

"There are fourteen artifacts in total: five non-ranked artifacts, eight ordinary ranked artifacts, and one high-quality ranked artifact. Because they are demonic artifacts, some are not very suitable for our sect's disciples to use, so the Spirit Object Pavilion can only buy them back at fifty percent of their value, totaling six thousand three hundred spirit stones," the middle-aged man calmly quoted a price to Wang Yu.

"Good, I will sell them all to the sect at that price," Wang Yu replied without hesitation.

Previously in the Jialan Secret Realm, he had picked up several storage bags from demonic disciples. Since these demonic artifacts were neither high-quality nor very suitable for him, he naturally sold them all to the Spirit Object Pavilion. However, those bone artifacts might still be useful later, so he kept them in his cave dwelling.

"This Uncle-Master, please help me look at these materials and natural spirit objects as well; does the Spirit Object Pavilion accept them?" Wang Yu said, taking several boxes from the storage bag at his waist. After the man nodded, he opened the boxes, which contained a python gallbladder, a golden eyeball, a cyan scale, and a huge fang, respectively.

"Oh, these things are quite interesting. It seems Nephew Wang has truly gained quite a lot from this trip out," the lean man's eyes lit up when he saw these items, and he hurriedly stepped forward to inspect them.

"For these items, three thousand spirit stones; the Spirit Object Pavilion will take them all."

"The other things are one thing, but this first-rank perfect-stage demon python gallbladder is the main ingredient for preparing the Clarity Powder, and the pavilion has long been short of it. Additionally, the magical spirit pattern on this scale is also quite interesting, but unfortunately, it is incomplete and requires a specialist to complete it before it can be comprehended. The other items are just average," the man quickly gave a quote and provided an explanation.

"Good, these items are also sold to the Spirit Object Pavilion. Also, Uncle-Master, please help me identify what this pill is," Wang Yu nodded, then took a medicine bottle from his storage bag and poured out a resilient, blood-red pill.
