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

Chapter 52 Big Purchasing
"Do you have any fire-type monster blood essence for sale?"

Lin Changheng spoke directly.

The old man, with a cheerful smile, explained, "Although my family mainly focuses on beast taming, we also have some monster materials that we can sell."

Then he added, "Fire-type demonic beasts are naturally available. Fellow Daoist, would you prefer one with greater strength or one with a higher bloodline?"

"Oh? There is such a way to distinguish them? Please enlighten me, fellow Daoist."

Lin Changheng had a sudden thought and took the opportunity to ask for advice.

"I dare not presume to offer guidance. Hehe, demonic beasts are indeed different from us cultivators. Humans rely on spiritual roots for cultivation, while demons depend on their bloodlines..."

"The stronger the bloodline inheritance, the higher the starting point and the faster the cultivation, which also means potential!"

“The levels of bloodline have been explored by great cultivators since ancient times, and have been subdivided.”

"For example, what we often call miscellaneous bloodlines are actually mortal bloodlines, which are mixed and impure, with turbid demonic energy. They are mostly formed from wild beasts that have accidentally been contaminated with spiritual energy, and some are degenerated from high-level bloodlines."

"Above that is the [Turbid Fiend Bloodline]. They have a certain foundation, but are filled with impurities, and their cultivation is slow. They can absorb moonlight, but are prone to falling into the path of ferocity and acting on instinct... Their strength is usually in the middle stage of the first rank, with few in the later stage, and a few can break through to the second rank."

"Next is the [Mysterious Spirit Bloodline]... cough cough, this one is basically irrelevant to us Qi Refining cultivators."

"Fellow Daoist, which type do you require?"

Lin Changheng listened with great interest. Unlike human cultivators, the monsters in the world generally have a lower limit.

This is the function of blood vessels.

The upper limit is not fixed and can be broken, but of course, the process will be extremely difficult and requires a stroke of luck or a special opportunity.

"Do you have the Blood of the Mystic Spirit?"

Lin Changheng asked directly, wanting to see what kind of feedback Yuan Ding would give.

"No." The old man shook his head decisively. "【Mysterious Spirit Blood】can be used to refine second-tier pills, which are useful for Foundation Establishment cultivators. It's rare even in this workshop."

"What about the [Turbid Blood]?"

Lin Changheng only asked the question once, and it didn't matter if there was no answer, so he continued to ask.

His purpose was to use the [Turbid Bloodline], which is a level higher than the [Mortal Bloodline], to conduct experiments and explore the needs of "transformation".

The old man said, "Yes, there are two left. They were extracted from two old beasts that died recently in my clan. They are fire-type and called [Flame-Tailed Spirit Fox]. Their strength is above the mid-stage of the first rank."

Flame-tailed Spirit Fox?

Lin Changheng naturally thought that the Liu family's residence was "Linghu Mountain". Coupled with the name "Flame-Tailed Spirit Fox", he couldn't help but guess that the Liu family probably produced many spirit foxes, which is why they got this name.

"How about the price? If it's right, I'll take both."

"My shop's prices have always been honest and fair, and everyone knows it. It's three spirit stones a piece. Fellow Daoist, you can ask around and you'll get the same answer."

The old man spoke with absolute certainty.

Lin Changheng nodded; the price was within his expectations.

According to ancient records, a mid-stage first-order demon beast contains two portions of essence blood within its body. This "portion" is determined by the amount of essence blood required for a single pill.

A first-stage early-stage demon beast contains a portion of essence blood within its body.

"Please fetch them all."

Lin Changheng smiled and took out six spirit stones.

Soon, two bottles of crimson blood essence were retrieved.

Lin Changheng opened the inspection box, and his first impression was an extremely strong smell of blood.

He directly used the [Spirit Observation Technique], and a hazy, strange light flashed in his eyes. This blood was clearly different from the [Mortal Bloodline] of the previous Fire Crow, Green Wood Snake, etc., and it was obvious at a glance.

"Excellent."

After carefully collecting the essence blood, Lin Changheng looked at the old man who was happily putting away the spirit stones. "I wonder, is this blood a regular supply?" The old man first shook his head, then nodded. "Fellow Daoist, only a few tamed beasts are sold as materials for demon beasts. The ones with any value are used for beast taming, and after being raised, they are supplied to families and independent cultivators. However..."

"But what?"

"But our clan recently plans to eliminate a batch of Flame-Tailed Spirit Foxes whose talents are not apparent and whose growth is sluggish. At that time, a batch of their essence blood will be sold to the outside world. However, this is only a preliminary plan. As for when it will be implemented, there is no specific date. It may be three to five days, or it may be several months."

He spoke very frankly, but Lin Changheng's heart stirred upon hearing it.

Now that the news has surfaced, and given that the Liu and Xu families are currently enjoying a honeymoon period of mutual benefit, it's not impossible to indirectly connect with the Liu family and acquire Jingxue.

With his essence and blood finding a home, Lin Changheng felt a sense of relief.

"I understand. I wonder if there are any miscellaneous beast essence blood left? Our clan needs a large quantity."

"Have."

The old man was extremely suited for business; his old face was as open as an old chrysanthemum. Even if Lin Changheng hadn't added "my clan," he would have thought of it that way.

The needs of a family are often enormous.

He immediately retrieved two kinds of essence blood and introduced them as follows:

"This bottle of deep red liquid contains the essence blood of the Fire Lizard, a fire-type spirit. We just slaughtered a batch, and there are probably nearly a hundred left."

As she spoke, she picked up another bottle. "And this one, dark green, is the essence blood of the White Spirit Sparrow, a wood-type. A large batch was bought by a caravan the other day, and there are about twenty bottles left in stock."

"The quality is excellent, and there's no adulteration with ordinary demon blood, unlike some unscrupulous merchants. Our store can guarantee that!"

Lin Changheng neither confirmed nor denied the old man's assurance, and directly picked up two bottles of essence blood, one red and one green, facing the light source.

As the light shone through, the essence blood of the Fire Lizard revealed fine red threads that floated like silk; the green bottle, on the other hand, shimmered with starlight, like fireflies in the dead of night.

It's really beautiful.

A strange light flashed in Lin Changheng's eyes, and he used his magic to confirm that the item was genuine.

"If I want to buy them all, could you give me a discount?"

As usual, he started haggling.

"Originally, it would cost around sixty spirit sand grains per serving, with no bargaining. However, since nobles are buying in bulk, we can offer a discount of fifty spirit sand grains. What do you think?"

"If there is still such demand among the nobility in the future, and the quantity is more than one hundred portions, the goods can be purchased at this price."

The elder of the Liu family quoted a price directly and handed over a black pear wood plaque with the logo of Linghu Beast Pavilion on it.

This can be used to get a discount.

"Alright. Let's check the goods then."

As he spoke, Lin Changheng, wearing a straw hat, deliberately glanced to the left and right.

The area around us was filled with customers and staff.

The old man instantly understood what he meant and chuckled, "There are too many people and too many eyes here. Please go upstairs to the VIP room to check your goods. This way, please."

After a while, Lin Changheng came downstairs accompanied by the old man. He didn't return with a smile until the old man disappeared into the crowd.

With such large clients, how can we not have enough sales channels?
……

Lin Changheng returned to the Immortal Inn.

The doors and windows are now tightly closed, and the built-in soundproofing and spy-proofing array has been activated.

Then he sensed the more than 120 bottles of essence blood in the storage bag.

First, open up a large number of [Fire Lizard] essence blood and collect them into a basin, which is almost half full.

The fishy smell was overwhelming.
