Chapter 16
After the discussion, Zhang Chen entered the alchemy pavilion and handed over his identity token. “Senior Brother, I’m here to collect the Blood Pills.”
After the Pill Pavilion disciple confirmed that there was no mistake, he poured out a scarlet medicinal pill from the bottle. “Take it.”
“Thank you, Senior Brother.” Zhang Chen put away the Blood Pill but did not leave. Instead, he said, “Senior Brother, I want to see what pills can be exchanged.”
The Pill Pavilion disciple pointed at the book on the table. “Read it yourself.”
“Thank you, Senior Brother.” Zhang Chen thanked him before picking up the book.
The book was called ‘Pill Records’. The words were bright red, as if they were written in blood.
After flipping it open, each page was written with the name of the medicinal pill, as well as its effect, how to use it, what to take note of, and how much blood essence was needed to exchange for it.
Soon, Zhang Chen saw the few medicinal pills that Feng Wensheng had mentioned. The effects and exchange for the required blood essence were indeed as he had said.
However, this could not guarantee that there was nothing wrong with the pills in Feng Wensheng’s hands.
If Feng Wensheng’s pills were fine, the price he exchanged for them would indeed be much cheaper.
Although he could refine demon blood at a fast speed, who would complain about having too much blood essence?
Maybe I can ask someone.
Zhang Chen thought of someone, Wang Zhengang, who was in charge of the registration of the beast park.
The other party knew that he was the spokesperson of Li Mumin and wanted to befriend him.
He had also exchanged for the blood storage bottle on him. Now that he was about to obtain the Foundation Establishment demon blood, one blood storage bottle was clearly not enough. He could go over and see if he could change another one.
Thinking of this, Zhang Chen closed the Pill Records and returned it to its original position. “Sorry to disturb you, Senior Brother. Wait for me to save some blood essence. I’ll come back and change it in the future.”
“Mm.” The Pill Pavilion disciple replied casually and did not say anything.
After leaving the Pill Pavilion, Zhang Chen walked towards the direction of the beast garden.
“Junior Brother Zhang, it’s been a long time since we last met. Did you get assigned to collect blood again?” When he saw Zhang Chen, Wang Zhengang greeted him warmly.
“No, I was assigned to the Alchemy House. I came specially to look for Senior Brother Wang today,” Zhang Chen said with a smile.
“The Alchemy House? That’s a tough job. Junior Brother, you obtained blood for Junior Brother Li in the outer sect. Why not spend blood essence to choose a better job?
“I see that you’re still at the fifth level of Qi Refinement. It doesn’t seem like you’ve been constantly taking blood!” Wang Zhengang was a little puzzled.
Zhang Chen smiled and didn’t answer. “I have two things to ask Senior Brother Wang. One is to exchange another blood storage bottle with Senior Brother, and the other is to inquire about some things.”
Being responsible for registration was not ordinary. At the very least, it required connections.
Being responsible for registration allowed one to obtain many people’s information, make many connections, and gain benefits from them.
For example, Wang Zhengang was responsible for distributing blood storage bottles and arranging people to go to which cave to collect blood.
He could sell the blood storage bottles privately and also manipulate the arrangement of caves.
Of course, there weren’t many places with as many benefits as the beast garden.
Once someone got this position, he usually occupied it for a long time, until he became an inner sect disciple.
After all, with so many benefits, how could he give this position to others? There were even people who deliberately did not advance to the inner sect for this position.
Wang Zhengang looked troubled and said, “We only have a limited number of blood storage bottles allocated to the beast garden, and I can’t sell too many privately.”
Zhang Chen was a little disappointed and asked, “Does that mean we can’t make a trade?”
Wang Zhengang shook his head and said seriously, “No, what I mean is that I need more blood essence.”
Zhang Chen was stunned and asked, “How much blood essence do you need, Senior Brother Wang?”
“I won’t ask for too much from my junior brother. Just 12 bowls of blood essence, no less.” Wang Zhenggang acted as if they were brothers.
“Alright, I’ll do as you say, Senior Brother.” Zhang Chen readily agreed.
“Hahaha, I’ll get you the blood storage bottle right away, Junior Brother.” Wang Zhengang’s enthusiasm returned.
After receiving the refined blood from Zhang Chen, Wang Zhengang asked, “Junior Brother, what do you want to know?”
Zhang Chen told him the main purpose of his visit. “I met a senior brother named Feng Wensheng in the Pill Pavilion. He tried to sell me some pills privately.
I’m not sure if his pills are different from the ones in the alchemy tower, so I came to ask you, Senior Brother, since you have broad knowledge and information.”
Wang Zhengang came to a realization. “Feng Wensheng! I know this person. After the disciples in the Alchemy House hand over the stipulated medicinal pills, they will sell the excess pills.
“But they are afraid of being held accountable, so they let Feng Wensheng sell them on their behalf. Junior Brother, you can rest assured that the pills he sells are no different from the ones in the Pill Pavilion.”
“I see. Thank you, Senior Brother.” Zhang Chen bowed and thanked him.
After exchanging a few more pleasantries, Zhang Chen took his leave.
He spent the night cultivating.
The next day, after completing his task and leaving the Alchemy House, Zhang Chen saw Feng Wensheng.
“Junior Brother, this is the Foundation Establishment demon blood you wanted.” Feng Wensheng handed him a water bag containing the demon blood.
Zhang Chen opened the water bag. After sensing the rich spiritual energy contained in the demon blood, he took out another water bag containing blood essence. “Thank you, Senior Brother. This is the blood essence.”
Feng Wensheng inspected and confirmed it, revealing a smile. “Junior Brother, is there anything else you need?”
“Then I’ll reserve a portion of the Wound Healing Pill. I’ll be waiting for you here at this time tomorrow, Senior Brother.” Zhang Chen didn’t ask for too many pills at once.
“Great!”
After making the appointment, the two bid farewell.
Back in the cave, Zhang Chen took out a water bag containing the Foundation Establishment demon blood and prepared to try refining it.
However, Zhang Chen did not drink it rashly. Instead, he took out the blood storage bottle containing the blood essence.
To be safe, he planned to increase his cultivation first before drinking the Foundation Establishment demon blood. Even if there was a problem, his resistance would be stronger.
“Gulp, gulp, gulp…”
After cultivating all the stored blood essence, Zhang Chen’s cultivation level had advanced to the eighth layer of Qi Refinement.
If it weren’t for the fact that practicing spells required a large amount of blood essence, he might have been able to reach the Foundation Establishment realm.
“Okay, now it’s okay.”
Zhang Chen opened the water bag and took a sip of the Foundation Establishment demon blood. He immediately circulated the Blood Nerve Technique to refine it.
“Roar!”
An extremely ferocious demon beast appeared in Zhang Chen’s mind.
This was the ferocious aura contained in the Foundation Establishment demon blood. Only by using his consciousness to erase it could he transform the demon blood into his own blood essence.
“Looks like I can’t eliminate the ferocious aura of the Foundation Establishment demon blood. Fortunately, I was careful enough to raise my cultivation level and only drink a small amount.”
Zhang Chen was a little disappointed, but he had already expected this.
The modifier modified the side effects of the technique, not immunity to ferocity.
The side effect of the Blood Nerve Technique was that the cultivator could easily be affected by the mental energy contained in the blood and become bloodthirsty, murderous, insane, and even brain dead.
The brutality of the Foundation Establishment demon blood had exceeded the range that his current level could bear, so he would still be affected.
After all, the demon blood that he was devouring in the Qi Refinement stage is beyond his own realm, and Zhang Chen was taking shortcuts, trying to jump levels.
An hour later, Zhang Chen finally erased the demon beast formed by the ferocious aura in his mind. He opened his eyes wearily.
The moment he opened his eyes, a fierce red light flashed and disappeared.
This was the normal manifestation after an ordinary person cultivates demon blood.
“Looks like I can only devour Foundation Establishment demon blood at will after breaking through to the Foundation Establishment realm.”
Zhang Chen helplessly poured the Foundation Establishment demon blood in the water bag into the newly obtained blood storage bottle to prevent the loss of the spiritual energy in the demon blood.
