Immortality and Cultivation: Starting with Harvesting the Talents of Demonic Beasts

Chapter 111 Thunderous Blood Essence
Having obtained the essence of the Crimson Crane, I have cleared out all of the corresponding inventory in the "Mysterious Unicorn Residence".

After paying 250 spirit stones, Lin Changheng asked one last question: "When will your restock be?"

"Barring unforeseen circumstances, it will happen once every two months. But in reality, it depends on the clan's production, so it cannot be guaranteed."

Manager Sun was in a very good mood.

This also means that, if the supply is normal, three hundred portions of essence blood will enter Qinglingfang every year.

"You can keep them all for me when the time comes."

Lin Chang-heng nodded and said.

"Want them all?"

Manager Sun was taken aback.

"Indeed, could it be that there are specific rules among the nobility regarding who they will sell to?"

Lin Changheng's expression was indifferent, with a half-smile, but his gaze towards Manager Sun was slightly cold, clearly showing his dissatisfaction.

"No, not at all," Manager Sun said with an embarrassed smile.

Then, they took the initiative to show goodwill, saying, "Since Chief Lin has confirmed that he needs it, there is no need for him to come. Our store will not put it on the shelves and will send someone to deliver it to your store."

"What do you think, fellow Daoist?"

"Alright, then I'll leave it to Manager Sun."

Lin Changheng smiled with satisfaction, said a few polite words, and then left.

……

Seven days later, Lin Changheng left the alchemy shop again.

Reaching a secluded corner, he used the [Illusory Appearance Shifting Technique - Clarity] granted by the [Flame-Tailed Spirit Fox Treasure Seed - Triple]. His figure grew taller, his face twisted into a different shape, and he put on a bamboo hat and black robe before heading directly to the Liu family's [Spirit Fox Beast Pavilion].

The reason he came to be stationed here is to facilitate the acquisition of essence blood; that is the important matter!

"Boom boom boom!"

Lin Changheng knocked on the door that was closed on the inside.

"Fellow Daoist, is there anything you need?"

The Liu family's spirit beast shop was quite busy, which showed that the new leader was indeed quite capable. Although it had been impacted, the effect seemed minimal.

Lin Changheng peered through his straw hat, surveying the shop before slowly taking out a token engraved with a spirit fox symbol and tossing it into the hands of the shop assistant.

"This is?"

The young clerk was taken aback, took the token, and then looked at it. He was immediately shocked to see that it was a token representing the status of a distinguished customer.

The amount of spirit stones spent is at least five hundred, and the potential for continued consumption in the future is huge, making it worthwhile to maintain.

Only then is it possible to obtain this token.

"I was unaware of your arrival. Please forgive any neglect if I have been unhelpful."

The young waiter immediately changed his attitude, and respectfully invited Lin Changheng to sit down in the inner room.

"I came here last time to request a batch of [Flametail Spirit Fox] essence blood. I wonder how it is going? Is it possible to transport it?"

Lin Changheng spoke in a cold tone, his late-stage Qi Refining cultivation clearly visible, and he spoke concisely.

"Please wait a moment, I'll go check right away."

Seeing that the man in the straw hat did not refuse, the young shop assistant immediately left and returned shortly afterward with a smile, saying, "My esteemed guest, the goods have been delivered."

"very good."

After awkwardly uttering two words, the transaction began.

"He must be a vicious person."

The young man was terrified and proceeded with extreme caution, thinking to himself.

When everything was over, Lin Changheng left immediately. Just as he was about to walk out the door, he suddenly heard the young cultivator's tentative voice asking, "Esteemed guest, do you need [Mystic Spirit Essence Blood]?"

The next moment, a chill enveloped him, causing the young cultivator to shiver involuntarily.

Lin Changheng paused slightly, his gaze beneath the bamboo hat suddenly turning cold.

He slowly turned around, his black robe billowing even without wind, and a chilling aura seemed to surge around him. The young shop assistant was intimidated by this aura, his face instantly turning pale. He staggered back half a step, almost knocking over the shelf behind him.

"How...how did you know I needed this?"

"I do not recall ever mentioning this at your store."

His voice was hoarse and low, like the friction of sand and gravel, sending chills down one's spine.

The young waiter forced himself to remain calm, swallowed hard, and managed a weak smile: "Honorable guest, please don't misunderstand, let me explain..."

"Tell me, if you can't satisfy me, hehe, I'm afraid you'll ruin the Liu family's reputation."

A threatening voice came from under the straw hat, deliberately mentioning the Liu family and showing that the Liu family was not taken seriously.

"The batch of [Flame-Tailed Spirit Fox] essence blood that our esteemed guest requested was specially prepared in the Desolate Ruins Shop. There, a distinguished guest often needs this blood. So when our esteemed guest requested it from our shop this time, and the fact that the esteemed guest's token was issued by the Desolate Ruins Shop branch, it naturally led us to make the connection."

As he spoke, he glanced at the man in the straw hat to observe his reaction. Seeing that the man remained silent, he quickly added, "When we went to retrieve it, the shopkeeper there specifically instructed us about the distinguished guest's needs, repeatedly telling us to pay special attention and try our best to meet them..."

Before he could finish speaking, Lin Changheng suddenly raised his hand, a black light flashed, and the waiter's collar was firmly gripped.

The young man was startled, thinking that this person really dared to attack the Liu family in the market. But the next moment, the collar that had been grabbed was released again, but a cold laugh still echoed in his ears.

"Whoo~"

The young man felt as if he were being stared at by a terrifying beast; his back was already soaked with sweat. Then, a cold voice came from ahead, "I'll trust you this time."

After a pause, he suddenly asked, "I wonder what kind of [Mysterious Spirit Essence Blood] it is?"

The young man wiped the cold sweat from his forehead, forced a pounding heart, and managed a respectful smile:

"In response to your question, esteemed guest, this batch of [Mystic Spirit Essence Blood] is somewhat special. It comes from a nest of second-tier demonic beasts called [Green-Eyed Mystic Pythons], which are of the wood element and possess a cold, yin nature."

He looked around and lowered his voice, saying, "But when they were found, they were all freshly dead, seemingly struck by lightning. Their bodies were charred black, and only their blood essence was usable. But... later it was discovered that their blood essence actually contained traces of lightning energy, which is extremely rare..."

Lin Changheng raised his eyebrows slightly beneath his bamboo hat.

Wood-type essence blood containing the power of thunder and lightning?

Lin Changheng sneered, "It is said that the power of lightning is the most violent force in the cultivation world, even more so than the fire attribute with its full offensive power. Even great masters have died from lightning tribulations. How violent and mighty is it? Now that the essence blood of this [Green-Eyed Xuan Python] is entangled with lightning, it will definitely be difficult to remove. How can it be of any use?"

"Your esteemed guest is indeed knowledgeable and has a deep understanding of the essence blood of demonic beasts. That is why this blood is sold in our store. If there are no problems, it is virtually impossible for it to leak out."

The young man admitted.

"Indeed."

Lin Changheng agreed with this view.

"If our valued customer wants it, we can offer a significant discount." Seeing an opportunity, the young waiter immediately seized the chance.

"How many?"

"Twelve spirit stones per serving. The original price was at least twenty spirit stones, after all, it can be used to refine a second-tier pill."

The young man, unsure of the hat-wearing stranger's intentions, could only bite the bullet and say something.

"Take it out and let me see it."

He immediately took out a bottle of essence blood and handed it to Lin Changheng.

Lin Changheng took out a drop and put it on his fingertip.

A strong tingling sensation suddenly came from my fingertips, and I could vaguely see purple arcs of electricity jumping around.

Despite the discomfort, he used a probing spell to examine her face-to-face, but in reality, he had already communicated with the Yuan Ding to confirm the situation.
