After a century of worship, I became the ancestor of the tribe.

Chapter 376 Divine Physiognomy!

As the largest market town in the eastern part of the Southern Region of the Eastern Wilderness, Tu Shang Ancient City does not prohibit other races from opening treasure pavilions and shops.

In any case, no matter which race opens a shop, the resources they sell cannot compare to the goods sold in the ancient city of Tu Shang.

In addition, there is a strict rule: any treasures must be auctioned at the Tu Shang Ancient City.

For example, the sixth-tier Heavenly Fire Sparrow captured by the Flying Dragon Slave Hunting Team will definitely appear at the next auction.

For top-tier fifth-tier races, and even some sixth-tier races, a sixth-tier beast king is of considerable help to the group.

As for how a fifth-tier race would dare to covet a sixth-tier Heavenly Fire Sparrow, you can rest assured about that.

In the ancient city of Tu Shang, there are specialized wizards who can help you implant a slave mark. Even a fifth-order creature can be controlled by a sixth-order creature in an instant.

Of course, even with the help of the slave seal, it would still be somewhat difficult for a fifth-tier being to control a sixth-tier being. Ordinary fifth-tier beings should not get involved; at the very least, one should be a late-stage or peak fifth-tier being.

There was once a fifth-tier race that obtained sixth-tier servants in the ancient city of Tu Shang, and then used the sixth-tier combat power to explore and expand the territory, thus advancing to become a true sixth-tier race.

If you want to purchase a sixth-tier creature, you don't need to bring out ordinary spiritual items or source stones to embarrass yourself; it must be something of the same tier as the sixth-tier creature.

Believe it or not, some smaller ethnic groups often have big treasures hidden away at home.

These small races currently lack powerful leaders, but a great one might be hidden among their members in a future generation.

When will we use these hidden treasures? It's all about this kind of thing: when the time comes, we should act and pave a path to prosperity for our people.

Putting everything else aside, Shen Can really wanted this sixth-tier Heavenly Fire Sparrow.

There's no other reason than that the Human Alliance is facing a crisis, and having an extra sixth-tier combatant provides an extra layer of protection.

Unfortunately, although he was quite wealthy, he was only at the fifth rank.

You won't know how poor you are until you come to Tushang Ancient City.

Inside the Treasure Pavilion of the Merchants.

An old man with a beard that almost reached his navel led Shen Can into a quiet room.

Shen Can did not recognize the species of the creature in front of him.

His shriveled body resembled tree bark, but his eyebrows and beard gave him a slight human appearance.

What's striking are the old man's eyes; one is greenish, the other jet black, with flowing witchcraft within, clearly indicating he has cultivated an extraordinary pupil technique.

Because of their different races, the powerful beings of the various races in the Great Wilderness communicate more often using divine sense, which allows them to express their true intentions more clearly.

"I am an old man with white eyebrows."

After introducing himself, the old man stared intently at Shen Can, waiting for him to continue.

From the moment Shen Can entered the Treasure Pavilion, Bai Mei already knew that Shen Can was a fifth-order being.

Inside the treasure pavilion, fifth-tier beings are naturally received by stewards of the same tier.

Shen Can also directly stated his purpose: he wanted to cultivate a secret technique, which required the precious blood and bones left behind by the descendants of ancient giant beasts.

The precious blood of wild beasts contains their essence, and their bones bear unique witchcraft. Both retain the original essence of the wild beasts.

Given Shen Can's current level, he can only obtain fifth-tier Beast King Blood. Whether he can obtain sixth-tier Blood depends on luck.

Although he had already grasped the general essence of the Heavenly Fire Sparrow he had seen before, the Heavenly Fire Sparrow was ultimately locked by the witchcraft net, which more or less hindered Shen Can's observation. It would be better to obtain a drop of its precious blood.

After listening to Shen Can's request, Bai Mei left the quiet room. When he returned, he brought back four jade boxes of the same size.

Each jade box was sealed by a complex spiritual barrier, and Shen Can couldn't sense anything through it.

In all things considered, the only beast kings he can truly be called qualified are the Kui Niu, Lu Wu, and Zhen Long. The others, such as apes, bears, phoenixes, and deer, are simply not worthy of being mentioned.

The main reason is that he hasn't encountered a powerful beast king that he could properly observe and comprehend.

Bai Mei first pushed a jade box that shimmered with black, gold, and blue divine light towards Shen Can. This was the highest quality of the four jade boxes.

Then, he muttered incantations, and the magical inscriptions on the jade box shone brightly.

However, the spiritual barrier did not open; it only cracked open slightly.

Shen Can was stunned when he saw this.

This means they don't trust him!
How can you see everything inside with just a small gap?

Although he had indeed made up his mind beforehand to look more and buy less.

Anyway, with his powerful divine sense, he could observe the beast king's origin that existed in the precious blood or beast bones.

But unexpectedly, they were on guard against him!

Damn, he's got a really good eye for people.

Bai Mei noticed the slight change in Shen Can's expression, but didn't pay attention to it or offer any explanation.

Those with strong spiritual sense can easily see through the essence of the Beast King's Blood and Beast King's Bones.

Over the years, Tu Shang Ancient City has seen countless beings who want to get things for free without spending Originium.

They are not small or insignificant merchants; they would be at a loss if they sold their goods cheaply, let alone allow outsiders to take advantage.

The seals on these walls were all placed by a sixth-tier great shaman; it would be utterly impossible for a fifth-tier being to break them.

"Honored guest, you can use your divine sense to examine the beast king's blood inside and see if it suits your needs."

Shen Can was also speechless. He only opened a small window. Did he really think that could stop him?

As his divine sense seeped through the gaps in the magical barrier, it seemed as if he had entered a dark and desolate realm.

Giant waves surged, the ocean stretched endlessly, and a large black fish leaped from the ocean.

The giant fish was covered in witchcraft and connected with the power of the moonlight, causing the entire ocean to boil.

As the giant fish leaped into the sky, it soared into the starry heavens, whereupon it grew wings that obscured the stars.

Then, the scene vanished like a bubble, revealing a bone that shimmered with three colors.

Shen Can's divine sense not only failed to clearly see the appearance of the big fish, but also failed to clearly see the big bird that it later transformed into.

Of course, even without seeing it clearly, he recognized it as the big bird that couldn't fit in the pot.

Kunpeng!

The ancient city of Tushang actually has such a wonderful thing!

Ancient behemoths also varied in strength. If there were a hierarchy, the Kunpeng would definitely be a superior behemoth, no, a divine beast.

This bone was clearly left behind by a beast king who possessed some Kunpeng bloodline.

What a sin! Just let me see it for a second!
After withdrawing his divine sense, Shen Can suddenly released it again, landing it on the jade box.

Seeing Shen Can's actions, Bai Mei was about to speak, but then he shut his mouth.

See? The more you watch it, the more you can't help but watch it again.

Anyway, it's just a small window, so it's not much different from what you see.

Shen Can grabbed the jade box again, but this time he didn't look at the beast king bone inside. Instead, he looked at the witchcraft spirit restriction on the jade box.

[Deduction!]

……

[You have deduced the Five Elements Spirit Locking, Nourishing, and Restricting Techniques]

……

Seeing Shen Can clutching the jade box with obvious delight, Bai Mei pondered whether to double or triple the price, or even five times it.

The small Kunpeng bone in the jade box is far more valuable than the precious blood and bones left behind by ordinary beast kings.

Logically speaking, it should be allowed to be auctioned.

However, while this thing may have value, many beings who cultivate the Five Elements simply cannot comprehend it, and it is not as useful as the blood and bones of other beast kings of the same level.

It's extremely rare for someone like Shen Can to need a catalyst to cultivate a certain secret technique, and to find someone he clicks with at first sight.

Seeing Shen Can constantly holding the jade box and probing it with his divine sense, Bai Mei was also pondering.

The price of fifth-tier spiritual items varies greatly depending on their quality. A common, incomplete fifth-tier spiritual item can be bought for as little as one or two hundred fifth-tier source stones.

For example, a low-grade fifth-tier secret technique typically costs two to three thousand fifth-tier source stones, and it will fetch a premium at auctions, with the premium depending on the specific circumstances.

This piece of bone from the Lesser Kunpeng Beast King comes from the East Sea. It was hard-won and deserves a premium price. The bone was taken from a descendant of a Lesser Kunpeng with a bloodline in the mid-to-late stage of the fifth rank, and it bears a faint Kunpeng mark.

Because the animal bones were so badly damaged, some errors in identification are inevitable.

Based on the late stage of the fifth rank, it deserves a premium.

The Kunpeng bloodline has always been superior to its contemporaries, thus commanding a premium price.

After careful calculation, Bai Mei decided to sell it to Shen Can at a premium price, treating it as a fifth-grade high-quality spiritual item.

To sum it up, considering that a high-grade fifth-tier spiritual item is three times more expensive than a low-grade one, and adding the premium, let's say it costs 15,000 fifth-tier source stones.

It wasn't that he was asking for an exorbitant price; it was just that Shen Can's eyes were practically popping into the jade box.

That staring look clearly shows it's etched into my heart.

……

Shen Can gripped the jade box, and his divine sense easily followed the Five Elements Locking Spirit Nourishing Restriction, entering the jade box and landing on the witch script mark on the beast bone.

With the spiritual barrier sealing it, the inside of the jade box was like a small enchantment, also preventing Bai Mei from peeping.

With favorable timing, location, and people, it was easy for him to do his thing.

The giant black fish reappeared from the ocean, and this time he could vaguely make out its appearance.

Its extent is unknown, but it can easily unleash towering waves and draw upon the power of the moon.

As it soared upwards from the vast ocean, it transformed into a giant bird, absorbing the golden light that filled the sky and drawing upon the power of the sun.

The power of Yin and Yang is a Daoist principle that Shen Can has not yet come into contact with.

However, Yin and Yang and the Five Elements can also transform into each other.

At this moment, Shen Can successfully observed a wisp of divine essence remaining in the Beast King's bone mark.

Within his divine court, figures that shifted between the shapes of fish and birds appeared.

But Shen Can dared not let the fish and birds become one, lest any strange phenomena occur and arouse suspicion.

He suppressed the turmoil in his divine court and gradually withdrew his divine sense from the jade box.

After regaining his composure, Shen Can looked at Bai Mei.

With a wave of his hand, Bai Mei took the jade box back from Shen Can's hand, muttering incantations. As he chanted the spell, the small window that had opened on the jade box's spiritual barrier closed again.

He did it on purpose, and then looked up to see the change in Shen Can's expression.

How many Originium are in this?

"Fifteen thousand five hundred fifth-tier source stones."

"This is our honored guest's first visit. Please give 500 yuan to a friend."

"How many?"

"How many did you say?"

Shen Can was taken aback. His family was quite wealthy, but this time he had only brought a little over four thousand fifth-tier source stones.

He had never been to Tu Shang Ancient City before, but Jin Zeqinu had been and even attended an auction.

The "Sealing Spirit and Possession Forbidden Technique" that Jinze bought back then only cost three thousand two hundred fifth-tier source stones.

We can't afford it!
"Let me look at the others."

Then, to Bai Mei's astonishment, Shen Can pointed to another jade box.

After a moment of surprise, Bai Mei chanted a spell to open a crack in the spiritual seal on the corresponding jade box.

Looking at Shen Can's expression, he wondered if she was playing a psychological trick on him.
The magical enchantment on this jade box is also a five-element spirit-locking and nurturing enchantment, serving both to seal and to protect the spiritual objects inside the jade box.

This saved Shen Can from expending his lifespan to deduce and solve the problem.

Inside this jade box is a drop of Suanni's precious blood, which reflects the dragon scales. As one of the dragon's sons, the vast dragon power continuously beats against the inside of the jade box.

However, compared to the small Kunpeng beast bone contained in the jade box, the aura and mystery of this Suanni blood were far inferior.

But this doesn't mean the Suanni is inferior; the blood of a fifth-tier beast king is enough for Shen Can's current needs.

At this moment, Bai Mei frowned when he saw Shen Can staring intently at the jade box, as if he wanted his eyes to pop into them.

It's probably an act.

Before long, Shen Can withdrew his divine sense from the jade box. He had advanced to the late stage of the fifth rank, and his divine sense had increased tenfold. In fact, he was not much worse than a sixth-rank great witch.

Now, extracting the divine form of the wild beast from the precious blood no longer requires as much effort as before.

After examining the Suanni box, Shen Can had Bai Mei open the spiritual seals on two other boxes.

These two boxes contain the blood of the Fire Phoenix and the Golden Sacred Tiger, respectively.

Shen Can stared at each jade box for a long time and asked about the price of each one.

Seeing Shen Can's wide eyes and obvious delight at each one, Bai Mei was a little unsure.

Of the four fifth-tier spiritual creatures, the Golden Sacred Tiger's bloodline is the worst, but it is still the bloodline of a fifth-tier beast king.

Shen Can couldn't afford the first three types of fifth-tier spiritual items.

"Golden Sacred Tiger Blood, 3,700 Tier 5 Origin Stones."

Bai Mei quoted another price that was 70-80% higher than the original price, leaving Shen Can speechless.

"Does the Precious Treasure Pavilion have any other Beast King Bloodlines?"

Shen Can pushed all the jade boxes in front of Bai Mei, "How about I look at some others?"

"Is our honored guest truly from the Jia Yun tribe?"

As a steward, Bai Mei was knowledgeable and experienced; he knew that the Jia Yun Clan was a sixth-tier power.

"It's funny."

Despite saying that, Shen Can didn't seem embarrassed at all.

When you go out, your identity is given by yourself.

Not long after, Shen Can emerged from the treasure pavilion with the precious blood of the Golden Sacred Tiger, and finally negotiated the price down to 3,100 fifth-tier source stones.

This precious blood is actually quite valuable. If we take it back to Lu Wu to refine, it might help him improve his bloodline and accelerate his advancement to the late stage of the fifth rank.

One dose of precious blood can be used for two purposes, costing 3,100 fifth-tier source stones, which is not expensive at all.

Not to mention, having obtained four kinds of Beast King Divine Forms in one fell swoop, all he needs to do is go back and cultivate in seclusion for a period of time to incorporate these Beast King Divine Forms into his battle body.

As soon as Shen Can stepped out of the Treasure Pavilion, he saw a ball of crimson flames engulfing the huge plaza outside.

The sixth-tier Heavenly Fire Sparrow was dragged to the middle of the plaza.

"The Holy Hou Clan".

Shen Can spotted a large, black-furred beast from afar, talking to a group of martial artists bearing the insignia of the Tu Shang Ancient City.

He glanced at the Skyfire Sparrow, his gaze falling on the magical net that trapped it, and the black energy emanating from the sparrow's body.

However, Shen Can did not linger. He turned around and headed towards the outside of Tu Shang Ancient City, where he found a secluded place and changed his identity and appearance.

This time, Shen Can transformed into one of the numerous Crocodile Clan warriors near the ancient city of Tu Shang.

And so, they returned to the place where the Skyfire Sparrow was kept.

At this time, many creatures were watching the Skyfire Sparrow, and Shen Can's return was inconspicuous.

His gaze fell on the witchcraft net overflowing with witchcraft script and the black energy on the Skyfire Sparrow.

After a closer look, the black energy was actually a kind of magical artifact, but its appearance was too peculiar, as it was like mist, shimmering with countless magical runes.

Two Tier 6 magical artifacts!

It is still a magical artifact that carries the flow of magical script.

For a moment, Shen Can looked at the Heavenly Fire Sparrow and the two sixth-order witch artifacts, and then at the Holy Hou clan responsible for guarding them.

He suddenly realized that some treasures should be reserved for those with virtue.

Otherwise, why would these two magical artifacts coincidentally have a path for the flow of magical script? Isn't it obvious that they're meant to be pushed by him?
