Blood!

Upon hearing these words, Shen Changqing’s expression remained unchanged, showing neither joy nor anger.

Seeing this, Jiang An immediately said, "If it’s inconvenient for Brother Shen, it’s alright. I was just asking casually."

Although he felt regret, he did not insist. No one could force a Great Grandmaster.

Shen Changqing said, "Blood is not a problem, but Brother Jiang should be aware that for us martial artists, our vigor and blood are extremely important. Losing even a bit requires time to replenish, and a significant loss might shake one’s foundation. Especially after becoming a Great Grandmaster, every drop of blood contains surging power. I hope Brother Jiang understands this."

"I understand."

"So, it’s not a problem for Suppressing Evil Hall to take my blood, but you’ll need to exchange something for it."

Shen Changqing’s tone suddenly shifted.

Upon hearing this, Jiang An’s face showed astonishment. He originally thought that Shen Changqing listed so many concerns as a way to refuse, but unexpectedly, the other party was actually discussing an exchange.

Immediately, Jiang An cleared his throat lightly. "What does Brother Shen think should be exchanged for it?"

"What do you think you can offer for the trade?"

"Er..."

Jiang An was stumped for a moment. Trading was the most troublesome matter. Especially for someone like Shen Changqing, a current Great Grandmaster, there was hardly anything that could interest him.

After a long silence, Jiang An hesitantly said, "Not only does Suppressing Evil Hall want your blood, but Demon Sealing Hall has also considered this. However, discussing a trade makes things difficult. After all, aside from having more Merit Points at hand, we don’t have much else. I’m afraid it will be difficult to produce something that would interest Brother Shen."

??? What did that mean? Was he indirectly bragging about his wealth by saying they had "more Merit Points and nothing else"? Shen Changqing wondered.

Taking a deep breath, he knew that in terms of Merit Points, he indeed was a poor man, whereas Suppressing Evil Hall and Demon Sealing Hall were fully supported by the Demon-Subduing Division and were naturally wealthier. After understanding this point, Shen Changqing managed to barely recover.

"Ahem, if it’s a trade with Merit Points, that’s not impossible."

"That’s excellent."

Jiang An visibly relaxed. Suppressing Evil Hall didn’t have much else, but Merit Points were abundant. Subsequently, he immediately proposed, "If Brother Shen agrees, one drop of blood can be priced at one hundred Merit Points, and one drop of Essence Blood can be priced at three thousand Merit Points. How about that?"

"Ahem, what did you say?" Shen Changqing coughed violently, doubting whether he had heard correctly.

One hundred Merit Points for a drop of blood, three thousand for a drop of Essence Blood! Suddenly, I feel the impulse to sell my blood. Such a profit! It’s simply outrageous! he thought.

However, in Jiang An’s eyes, Shen Changqing’s reaction seemed like he thought the offer was too low. As for this, he showed a troubled expression. "I know the price might be somewhat low, but Suppressing Evil Hall also has other budgets to consider. Being able to offer a few thousand Merit Points all at once is already quite difficult. Brother Shen, rest assured, we won’t ask for much blood. Regarding the Essence Blood, give what you can, and don’t worry if you can’t."

"Er—"

Shen Changqing wanted to say that wasn’t his intention. But upon further thought, he refrained from speaking.

Ordinary blood consumption was not a significant loss to him. At one hundred Merit Points per drop, he had given Tiankui an uncountable amount. As for Essence Blood, it was indeed valuable. An individual’s amount of Essence Blood is finite. It doesn’t increase upon breaking through to the Great Grandmaster Realm; only the quality of the Essence Blood improves. The actual quantity remains unchanged.

If a drop of Essence Blood were used, Shen Changqing’s own strength would be impacted. Recovering afterward wouldn’t be easy. After all, Essence Blood was completely different from ordinary blood. During the battle in Mountain-Breaking City, he had indeed consumed a significant amount of Essence Blood. Fortunately, the breakthrough of the Divine Heaven Golden Body could compensate for the loss of Essence Blood, provided that the consumption wasn’t too high. Otherwise, Shen Changqing wouldn’t know how to replenish the Essence Blood he’d lost.

For this reason, Essence Blood was precious to him, but not so precious as to be indispensable. With these thoughts, he still appeared composed on the surface. 𝙧𝙚𝙚𝔀𝒆𝓫𝓷𝙤𝓿𝒆𝙡.𝒄𝙤𝓶

"Since we are both from the Demon-Subduing Division, Essence Blood is not an issue. But how much does Brother Jiang need?"

"Just one drop will suffice," Jiang An said, overjoyed and speaking hastily. He feared his greed might disgust the other party.

Upon hearing this, Shen Changqing once again probed, "Are you sure that’s enough? Actually, I can provide a few more drops of Essence Blood with no issue."

"It’s truly enough," Jiang An repeatedly waved his hands, his face full of gratitude. "Having one drop of Essence Blood is already enough for our research. There’s no need to ask for too much. Moreover, the consumption for Brother Shen is considerable, and I am aware of that."

After the refusal, he continued, "As for ordinary blood, I’ll need thirty drops. According to our agreement, you were to contribute at least three thousand Merit Points for the construction of the Demon-Subduing Prison. This way, it will be mutually offset. Then, the entire cost of construction, as well as the labor fees, won’t require you to spend anything further, Brother Shen. The three thousand Merit Points for the Essence Blood will be provided to you later."

In Jiang An’s view, the blood of a Great Grandmaster couldn’t be compared to mere Merit Points. However, for research purposes, there wasn’t a need for a large quantity of blood; just having a small amount was sufficient.
