Grand Ancestral Bloodlines

Chapter 966 Legs

"After all these years of friendship, you won't even let me into the doors of the Sect? What is the meaning of this, Graelor?"

Elder Li rubbed his forehead. He never thought that having so many connections would end up coming back to bite him like this. He didn't even know what to say, it was just getting ridiculous at this point.

"I've already said it once, Disciple Ryu is resting. In addition, the Sect does not own the property of their disciples, but they also won't allow outside parties suppress talents."

"Suppress? Who's trying to suppress a talent?! We just want an equal exchange!"

Elder Li cursed in his heart. Equal exchange? There wasn't even a single complete Runed Pill to be found on the First Heaven, you would have to go up to the Third Heaven before you even found the first one.

The cost of traveling between Heavens was astronomical. And even if you managed to hold onto a great power's coattails to finally manage to make the trip, did you think that you'd be worthy of laying eyes on something an alchemy organization would sacrifice its entire foundation to maintain control over?

Equal exchange? What kind of equal exchange could you possibly give?!

At that moment, a snow owl appeared from above and swept down. A gentle surge of wind swept by and kicked up their hair before a pair appeared.

Most didn't recognize Ryu, but even those that had come from elsewhere recognized Selheira, the mysterious unranked disciple, or was it elder, of the Radiant Star Sect. She was a complete enigma and her fame had spread far and wide in the First Heaven for no other reason than her gentleness and the mystery around it.

She seemed to leave a profound impression on whoever she came across, even to the point these world leaders knew a great deal about her… except what her cultivation level was and where she came from.

The young man to her side looked remarkable as well, but they had no idea who he was. However, Elder Li knew him quite well. Only then did he sigh a breath of relief. Now that this infuriating brat was here, let him deal with the nonsense. All that bullshit about protecting disciples flew out the window the moment he found an opportunity to escape.

"Disciple Ryu, you're finally here!"

The eyes of the leaders lit up. So this was the alchemist they had all been wondering about. No wonder he felt so extraordinary.

An avalanche of noise was about to begin, but Ryu only spoke softly and yet still seemed capable of suppressing them all.

"I will exchange one custom Common or Black Grade 99% pure pill-potion in exchange for a preserved Earth Grade beast's complete corpse. Lower and Middle for Common, Higher and Peak for Black.

"I will exchange on custom Earth Grade 99% pure pill-potion in exchange for a preserved Heaven Grade beast's complete corpse.

"I will exchange one Common Grade Runed pill-potion for ten Heaven Grade beast carcasses. I will exchange one Black Grade Runed pill-potion for ten Heaven Grade beasts carcasses including their Beast Cores. I will exchange one Earth Grade Runed pill-potion for a top class Mystical Grade Dao Charm technique, it will be custom if it is a Dao Charm Soul Technique.

"I will also exchange an Earth Grade Runed pill-potion for the piece of a Sovereign Grade beast's body, so long as it's substantial.

"I prefer beasts which have fire or ice affinities. In addition, the Dao Charm technique must be either a movement technique, a bow technique, or a sword staff technique if it is not a Soul Technique.

"As a final point, I will not exchange with the Iunae Clan or the Hidden Blade Sect."

After Ryu finished with his words, he turned to leave. He had said everything he needed to.

In truth, these prices were cheap. But he also knew that this was the best he could hope for in a place like this. This would also allow him to gather up resources without having to waste time personally in finding them.

He didn't plan on breaking into the Path Extinction Realm until he recultivated up to the Immortal Ring Realm now, so it would take some time. However, he still had to focus on his Mental Realm cultivation and his Body Realm cultivation. In addition, his current Dao Charm techniques weren't up to his standard yet.

He might have asked for a Mystical Grade technique, but he wasn't ready to use such techniques just yet. These Heaven Grade techniques would be with him until the Dao Pedestal Realm, so he had to make the most of them now. He knew that he had a ton more power to squeeze out of them.

Ryu, though, didn't seem to realize that his words had set off a bomb.

His demands for his pills were still reasonable. Some felt that it was far too expensive, but when they thought about the fact that there was no one else that they could get such pills from on the First Heaven, they forcefully accepted it. Plus, they knew that even if there were skilled alchemists on higher Heavens, would they even be free to concoct for small fry like them?

However, when he spoke of his bans, the elders of the Radiant Star Sect sucked in  cold breath, let alone the others. The representatives of the Hidden Blade Sect and Iunae Clan especially froze in place.

Some of the elders who had had poor impressions of Ryu suddenly did a complete 180, looking toward the youth's back with sparkling eyes.

Of course, they thought that Ryu had done this for the prestige of the Sect. They had been suppressed by those Two Star behemoths for so long, it finally felt good to get back at them.

But in reality, Ryu just disdained the Hidden Blade Sect and he hated the Iunae Clan because of Galemar. It was just that simple to him. There were plenty of other powers who would have things to exchange and keep him busy, he didn't have to feed his enemies as well.

Just as Ryu was making his way into the distance, a powerful aura appeared in the sky and fell like a meteor.

BANG!

The figure crashed down in front of Ryu, an icy aura that caused the temperature to plummet around him.

Ryu recognized him immediately. This was none other than one of the young men he had saved that day in the ice mountain.

He arrogantly looked up at Ryu, seemingly not realizing that he was almost an entire head shorter until he felt his neck tilting up.

Feeling slightly uncomfortable and wishing that he had landed further away, the young man adjusted himself and became several levels more arrogant in his tone.

"My Senior Sister would like to see you. Come with me."

Ryu looked down at him, his blind eyes unfocused, but his disdain was still all too clear.

"Does she not have legs? Scram."

Ryu stepped around the young man who had entered a dazed state.

The elders of the Radiant Star Sect almost fainted. There was a very good reason why they had stopped everyone else from entering freely but not this young man. He was from the Second Heaven!
