My Master Knows It All-Chapter 1324 - 322
Chapter 1324: Chapter 322
Strange Beast Essence Blood, a gathering of its life’s very essence.
Generally speaking, once a Strange Beast reaches a level equivalent to that of a Cultivator’s Golden Core Stage, it will possess essence blood.
Some Divine Weapons, and even Treasures, require essence blood in their forging. It’s not just evil Treasures that need essence blood. Cao Zhen, drawing upon Zhang Daoling’s knowledge of Immortal Cultivation theory, knows that many Treasures crafted by renowned and righteous sects also require essence blood.
Additionally, some Pills also require the use of essence blood.
Beyond that, setting up Formations and some special Talismans also necessitate essence blood.
Even certain Cultivation Techniques, if one wishes to practice them, require the aid of essence blood.
Not to mention those practicing demonic arts also need a large quantity of essence blood.
The stronger the Strange Beast, the stronger its essence blood naturally is, and the greater its effects.
However, Cao Zhen found it strange—why would these people bother killing Strange Beasts and seizing their essence blood for no reason?
It’s not that the essence blood of Strange Beasts isn’t precious; naturally, it’s quite valuable. The issue is, they are currently within a ruin!
If they wanted to kill Strange Beasts, they could do so outside the ruins, hunting them in the deep forests and mountains. Killing Strange Beasts is something they could do at any time, but ruins are not always available. Having finally entered the ruins, and especially since these are the ruins left by the Heavenly Dao as a slim chance of survival for their Heaven Prayers Sect, they don’t seek the treasures within but instead kill Strange Beasts here—moreover, they kill Strange Beasts at the limit of the Golden Core Stage! To slay a single Strange Beast, they are willing to sacrifice several experts at the Ten Different Phenomena of Golden Elixir Great Perfection. Isn’t that a bit uneconomical?
What are the people of the Heaven Prayers Sect thinking?
As he pondered, one of the female Cultivators approaching the Golden Core Period Limit from the Heaven Prayers Sect took out a small Square Cauldron. As she infused mana into the cauldron, suddenly, in the Void, a drop of the snake’s essence blood seemed to be drawn by something and flew directly into the Square Cauldron.
In an instant, whether it was Cao Zhen, Immortal Bi Yue, or Jiu Yin, they all turned their heads and looked towards Xiang Ziyu. The woman’s Square Cauldron in her hands was also blood-red in color, and it appeared to be similar in design.
However, despite the great distance, they could feel that the aura emanating from the woman’s Square Cauldron was not that of a Treasure, but rather it seemed more like that of a Divine Weapon.
Xiang Ziyu watched from afar as the woman stored the Square Cauldron inside her clothing and spoke in a low voice, "The Square Cauldron in my hand was throbbing just now. I feel like I could use my Square Cauldron to snatch that drop of essence blood."
Speaking, he shook his head and added, "No, that’s not right. What I meant to say was, I could snatch her Square Cauldron, along with her essence blood, all together.
It feels as if..."
Xiang Ziyu pondered for a moment and then described, "The Square Cauldron in my hand is like the father, and their Square Cauldrons are like sons; they all have to obey my Square Cauldron."
In the distance, the remaining twenty or so members of the Heaven Prayers Sect quickly set about cleaning up the battlefield.
One of them, while looking at the dead body of the snake, suddenly had a thought and said, "It can’t be that there’s only one Strange Beast at the limit of the Golden Core Stage here that we’ve just dealt with. There must be more Golden Core Period Limit Strange Beasts in this area. If we could lure these Strange Beasts together...
With our Heaven Prayers Sect’s research on Strange Beast essence blood, luring these Strange Beasts together wouldn’t be difficult, and then..."
The surrounding members of the Heaven Prayers Sect turned to look at him all at once,
Another Cultivator approaching the Golden Core Period Limit interjected, asking, "Then what?"
The person who spoke immediately replied, "Master Ze Tian, then naturally, we’ll find a way to lure Cao Zhen and the rest to that place. Aren’t Cao Zhen and his group strong? Don’t they have four at the Golden Core Period Limit? We’ll attract more Strange Beasts then—ten are not enough, we’ll lure twenty, thirty..." The speaking Disciple exhibited a ferocious look on his face and coldly said, "If it weren’t for them foiling the plans of our Heaven Prayers Sect, then by now, the Eastern Wasteland might have already been ruled by our Sect’s branch.
If that were the case, with the resources from the Eastern Wasteland and the many experts they have brought back, we wouldn’t be in such a passive state."
"That’s right, we should eradicate them! By entering the ruins this time, they are surely aiming to move against our Heaven Prayers Sect directly!"
"The main thing is to find out how to locate them!"
A thin man spoke gravely, "In fact, we can now inform our Heaven Prayers Sect members, as long as they see them, to report immediately. With the number of our Disciples who’ve entered the ruins, we can form a large net and then..."
"And then what? Why have you stopped talking?"
"Yes, what are you thinking? Speak up, let us..."
After a couple of prods from other disciples of the Heaven Prayers Sect, they suddenly went silent, their expressions blank as they looked at the four figures that appeared abruptly around them.
"Immortal Bi Yue, and Jiu Yin..."
"Cao Zhen, Xiang Ziyu..."
The members of the Heaven Prayers Sect instantly tensed up. When had Cao Zhen and the others appeared? Although there was only one entrance to the ruins, the ruins themselves were vast, being a mini-thousand-world.
After entering the ruins, even the paths they took were decided on the fly, yet they still managed to encounter Cao Zhen and the others. Their luck couldn’t have been any worse.
