Chapter 211 Pure Blood of Demonic Beasts
Pei Xia didn't mean it.

While walking down the street, I was wondering what could be used to fuse golden needles and beast blood when I looked down and saw two magical nails on the stall.

This thing is so distinctive; you can tell at a glance that it was sold by Han Youzhi.

Considering that after Lao Han was swallowed, she went to find Brain Mountain on her own, it seems that as a rogue cultivator, she is not entirely without worries.

However, on the other hand, Han Youzhi's long nails are made of Frost Iron, mixed with a lot of Sea-Washing Silver Sand. Pei Xia doesn't need the former, but the latter is indeed an excellent material for bonding spiritual materials.

This was already evident when the "Hero, Spare My Life" spell was concocted for Xu Shangxin.

"I find these two magical artifacts quite interesting," Pei Xia said sweetly, giving the minotaur stall owner a flirtatious wink. "Would you give me a fair price?"

After visiting the Jade Palace many times, Pei Xia gradually developed a keen eye for such things.

This bull-headed man has a lot of items on his stall, including large magical artifacts like long nails, which proves that he possesses a considerable number of jade pendants.

Those with enough Jade Qiong are eligible to participate in the Jade Pavilion auction. For such people, the calculation core can truly realize its monetary value.

The bull-headed man ignored Pei Xia's flirtatious glances and simply made a gesture indifferently: "Eighty."

Pei Xia clicked her tongue in amazement.

When a magical artifact reaches the level of a rare item, the price for a martial artist will actually be slightly lower, because the effects of unorthodox and mysterious methods are already exceptionally powerful at this level.

Like the Sea-Opening Golden Needle, even though the strongest cultivator in the Cao family is only at the Opening Mansion level, he can still use it to repel the Heavenly Consciousness Sea Beast.

But this is a rare item after all; it has two long nails and only eighty abacus cores.

Qiongxiao Yuyu is truly powerful.

In addition, this bull-headed man is quite powerful. Eighty calculation cores mean that this one deal alone requires eight jade coins to support it, not even counting the goods and savings he needs.

Pei Xia certainly couldn't produce eighty calculation cores, but he came today with a special confidence.

He took out a small, round blood bead: "Look at this, is it worth two magical artifacts?"

Since Qiongxiao Yuyu couldn't be forcibly taken, Pei Xia confidently handed over the beads.

The bull-headed man narrowed his eyes and examined the object closely.

It's hard to determine the quality of the blood of the Sea God, since this is the first time that the blood in Pei Xia's possession has flowed into the human world.

However, a master is a master, and Bullhead clearly knows his stuff.

"The blood of a top-tier demonic beast, and it's completely pure with no impurities..."

While pondering, Niu Tou subtly observed Pei Xia, then casually asked, "Can't tell your cultivation level? What grade of demon beast are you?"

Pei Xia placed one hand across her chest and the other on her cheek: "If you know it, then you know it; I cannot say."

Blood from demonic beasts is not a rare commodity. In some places in Dongzhou and Zhenhai, large demonic beasts are even kept specifically for the purpose of extracting and selling their blood.

This spiritual material has a wide range of uses; it can be used for alchemy, weapon crafting, array drawing, talisman making, and even diluted for cleansing the marrow and tendons.

Because of this versatility, as long as impurities can be removed, top-quality animal blood can easily fetch a high price.

This bull-headed man had recently handled two dou of blood from a Yuan-transforming demon beast in his sect. Even before it was purified, it was already quite valuable.

But even with his extensive knowledge, he couldn't discern the crimson object before him, as if he were adrift in a deep sea.

"Heavenly Knowledge?" he asked.

Pei Xia shook her head and remained silent.

Niu Tou fell silent. This quality could not possibly be at the Transformation Realm level. Since it wasn't Heavenly Consciousness, it could only be higher!
The Great Demon Who Proved the Dao...

Bullhead felt a moment of dizziness.

Blood is just blood after all; compared to the heart or spirit core of a demon beast, it is always much inferior.

However, the fact that the jade holder could extract blood from a powerful demon made his origins seem mysterious and unpredictable.

Niu Tou examined the woman closely again, and after a moment's consideration, asked, "One drop in exchange for two magic artifacts?" Pei Xia shook her head: "I'll give you ten drops, calculated by the drop."

Nearly a quarter.

Bull Head wasn't angry; instead, he breathed a sigh of relief.

The amount calculated by the dropper is correct; it would be problematic if she actually gave it all.

Things are valued for their rarity. Demon blood that proves one's Dao may not be that precious to cultivators who have reached a higher realm, but in some large families and sects, it is worth any price to use it to help talented juniors advance their careers.

Pei Xia took out a small bottle and carefully separated ten drops of pure blood for the other party. The transaction was completed, and both parties were very satisfied.

Pei Xia simply remarked, "You really got a great deal."

Niu Tou disagreed. Although the blood of demons who had attained the Dao was rare, the premium was mostly paid off by the younger generation of the sect. They were definitely making money, but it was not a huge profit.

Unless you have beast blood, even the Dao-proving stage can't stop you, let alone the Void Return stage... Don't be ridiculous, even Dao-proving demons are rare in the Nine Provinces, as for the Void Return stage, you'd probably have to go to the snowy mountains of the Cold Province or the deep sea to find one.

Pei Xia didn't explain, because if she really explained it all, it wouldn't be good for him either.

Given the grandeur of the Jade Palace, while the blood of a beast proving the Dao is indeed rare, it is not enough to cause a sensation.

However, if it's a pure-blooded cultivator at the Void Returning Realm, some people might have ulterior motives.

Beasts that return to the void are extremely rare, and the sea patrol gods of the Eastern Continent are not exactly a secret. If someone were to investigate, Pei Xia could easily be targeted.

Consider it a case of losing money to avoid disaster.

We have the materials for bonding, but we're still missing a forging furnace.

However, right now, Pei Xia needs to leave the Jade Palace first to retrieve the items from the Jade Palace. He only has two Jade Palaces, and space is a priority. There are other items inside, and if he were to stuff in these two long nails now, there wouldn't be much room left.

On the other side, watching the busty woman buy his two magical artifacts, Han Youzhi sighed inwardly and could only adjust his mindset and step forward.

Niu Tou took one look and saw that it was an old customer.

The "Immortal's Guidance" elixir, though expensive, has the opposite effect of the beast blood he just obtained; its uses are extremely limited, making it difficult to sell. Therefore, he was also deeply impressed by this round-faced, bearded man.

“I thought you had changed your appearance,” said Bullhead.

Having been able to use the "Immortal's Guidance" and sold his uniquely designed magical artifact, there was a possibility that his true identity would be exposed in the Jade Palace, even though the Bull-Head himself had no intention of investigating.

Han Youzhi shrugged: "We do have that plan, but not here."

She glanced at the stall: "Didn't you have a magical artifact that concealed your aura the last time I saw you? You've made your move?"

"here I am."

As Niu Tou spoke, he waved his hand and took out a white jade bracelet: "Although it's a small trinket, it's still a rare item."

Han Youzhi had already exhausted her computing core. After entering the fish's belly, the environment was unfamiliar, and she dared not refine it casually.

After searching his pockets for a long time, he could only produce a bottle of pills.

This was crafted by her when she was in charge of the Holy Palace. It can help cultivators in the Profound Realm maintain the stability of their spiritual energy after their inner cauldron is shattered, and it is helpful for cultivating the Spiritual Mansion. It was originally intended as a reward for the young disciples in her palace.

In the marketplace, compared to rare and magical artifacts, this bottle of pills wouldn't be considered cheap.

However, in Qiongxiaoyuyu, the former's market is significantly larger.

Bullhead hesitated for a while before agreeing to the deal.

If this beard can be used to "seek guidance from the immortals," then even if it's not divine intervention, it's not far off. It's considered a good connection, and there will be opportunities for business in the future.

Han Youzhi placed the bracelet into the jade pendant, hesitated for a moment, and asked, "The woman who just bought my magic artifact..."

Niu Tou waved his hand at her: "I advise you not to ask. That woman has a very powerful background, and the things she deals with are extraordinary. I'm terrified."
