Who Let Him Cultivate?!-Chapter 652 - 651: The Transaction
Honestly, the owner of the Infant Transformation Pill was tempted.
He was in his twilight years, and because he had indulged excessively in his youth, his vitality was depleted, not even the blood of the Phoenix Tribe could save him. This led him to seek a way out for his descendants, hoping they could cling to a Great Sect as their support.
With a Great Sect out of reach for now, if there was something to invigorate his Yang Qi that could let him feel good, it seemed like a viable option.
If his descendants were inadequate, why not just have more?
He felt his identity was well concealed and should not be recognized by anyone.
"How much for a drop?"
"Ten thousand Spirit Stones per drop."
"Words alone are no proof, how can I tell if the blood is real or fake?"
Meng Jingzhou let out a light laugh and took out a small porcelain vial, "That’s no problem. There’s a drop of blood in this vial. Swallow it and refine it, and you’ll know the effect."
The methods of the Cultivation World are mysterious and unfathomable; Cultivators of the Curse lineage can cast curses from afar using blood, hair, and other such items. It’s hard to guard against.
Meng Jingzhou had anticipated this and the blood he brought today had been pre-treated, with all traces of the owner’s identity thoroughly erased.
The owner of the Infant Transformation Pill took the small porcelain vial with suspicion, pouring the blood into the palm of his hand.
A single drop of blood, like a blood-colored gemstone, glowing and smooth with an extraordinary origin. The Yang Qi it emitted was particularly impressive, clearly surpassing the blood of the Phoenix Tribe by more than just a few notches!
Such a fine item.
The Nascent Soul elders around omnivorously watched the drop of blood, their expressions betraying their longing.
If this was the real deal, indeed, they needed to buy a vial.
After ensuring there was no trickery with the blood, the owner of the Infant Transformation Pill swallowed a drop and silently refined it.
There was a reaction!
The face of the owner of the Infant Transformation Pill flushed red; the effect of the blood was much stronger than he had expected. His body reacted instinctively, and his desires surged, unstoppable even by running his Cultivation Technique!
Meng Jingzhou was also somewhat surprised; he hadn’t expected his blood to be this effective.
As for feeling happy about it, it didn’t seem like something worth celebrating.
"I’ll buy it!"
"Fifty thousand per drop."
"You!"
"If you don’t like it, don’t buy it," said Meng Jingzhou with a nonchalant air. He held the upper hand, as he could sell the blood for however many Spirit Stones he wanted.
"Fifty thousand then, give me three drops!" said the owner of the Infant Transformation Pill through gritted teeth. Such things couldn’t be bought with money; fifty thousand was a good deal!
Meng Jingzhou happily accepted the Storage Ring containing one hundred fifty thousand Spirit Stones; money was coming in fast, enough to pay his fines fifteen times over.
If he didn’t reveal his identity from the Seek Dao Sect, he could even afford thirty fines!
Lu Yang clicked his tongue in wonder, having seen those who sought children through borrowed essence, but this was his first time encountering someone seeking children through borrowed blood.
Unfortunately, it seemed the Nascent Soul elders were cautious in their actions. Seeing how swiftly the owner of the Infant Transformation Pill completed the transaction and the steep price of the Yang Invigorating blood, they hesitated and ultimately, no one opted to trade.
The two made a round through the side hall and saw no chance of business, so they had to give up.
"Let’s go somewhere else; I know of another black market," Meng Jingzhou transmitted, having meticulously gathered information on several black markets.
All were learned from Senior Brother Dai Bufan, whose intelligence wasn’t easily leaked. For this information, Meng Jingzhou paid a heavy price—he promised Dai Bufan he would refrain from causing any trouble for the next half year.
The two retraced their steps and left the black market.
Just as Lu Yang was about to take out the Sword Washing Pool to fly on his sword, a sinister voice came from behind him.
"Are you two Daoist friends leaving already?"
"Who’s there!"
Lu Yang suddenly turned his head, as four Nascent Soul elders cloaked in black robes emerged from the dense forest, their eyes cold and their expressions unfriendly.
"What do you want!"
"What do we want?" the leader sneered.
"Daoist friend, the blood you took out in the side hall, the Yang Invigorating Blood that surpasses even the blood of the Phoenix Tribe, has made us quite envious."
"There were too many people in the side hall to speak frankly, so our appearance here should make our intentions clear to you."
Meng Jingzhou slowly clenched his fists, becoming alert, "We are naturally slow-witted and do not understand the meaning of you four Daoist friends."
The leader wasn’t giving up, "Can’t the price be a little lower? Even for the blood of the Phoenix Tribe, it’s only two or three thousand per drop!"
Meng Jingzhou coldly chuckled, his stance firm and unyielding, "No, I underwent countless dangers to obtain this Yang Invigorating Blood. It’s fifty thousand Spirit Stones per drop, not a fraction less!"
"If it were you, would you lower the price?"
"Is that so? That’s a pity. I was thinking that if you were accommodating, we could also become friends. But since you are heartless…"
The leader’s voice trailed off as he gave a significant glance to the three beside him. They reached into their sleeves, and with a flash of cold light, suddenly cast something towards Lu Yang.
Lu Yang had anticipated this and with a swift motion, caught three Storage Rings.
The leader shook his head with a show of regret, "No discount then, so be it. There is a total of five hundred thousand Spirit Stones here, Daoist friend, please confirm the amount."
Lu Yang swept his Spiritual Sense over the rings, accepted the three Storage Rings, and signaled Meng Jingzhou with a glance, "Indeed, it’s five hundred thousand Spirit Stones, let’s complete the transaction."
Meng Jingzhou took out ten bottles of blood from his Identity Jade and threw them to the other party.
The leader’s eyes darted, noticing Meng Jingzhou’s subtle movements even in the darkness, especially when he saw Meng Jingzhou’s Identity Jade, "You’re a Disciple of Dao Seeking Sect?"

"So what if I am?" Meng Jingzhou inwardly cursed his bad luck for revealing his identity as a disciple of the Dao Seeking Sect.
The leader stared intently at Meng Jingzhou, speaking slowly, "If you are disciples of the Dao Seeking Sect, then we cannot let you leave easily. I have a reputation to consider, and if word gets out, I fear I won’t be able to get by in the community."
A smile formed on his lips, his back to the moonlight, making his expression unclear, but his bright, icy teeth were visible.
"What do you want to do?" Lu Yang felt the men’s attitudes shift after learning their identities.
"Please be our guests at my residence, as a courtesy from the host!"
Knowing their identities and failing to extend hospitality would reflect poorly on him among his peers.
Lu Yang, wary, eyed the four men and shook his head lightly, "I think that will be unnecessary."
Their strange attitude was a clear sign of ulterior motives!
The leader pressed closer, "Daoist friend, it’s just a visit to my house. Why be so cautious?"
Lu Yang laughed coldly, having already seen through the charade, he warned them,
"Daoist friend, for a hundred thousand years, Great Xia has been governed by the Righteous Path, and the methods of Evil Demons are not advisable. Could it be you are unaware that many like you have been captured by Great Xia, stumbling into prison, living in regret for the rest of their lives?"
"As Disciples of Dao Seeking Sect, we stand with the Righteous Path and will resolutely not consort with Evil Demons."
"If you’re thinking of using a back door to get your descendants into the Dao Seeking Sect, that’s nothing but wishful thinking!"

The leader’s eyes turned frosty as he stealthily slid his hand into his sleeve, touching a Storage Ring. With a flick of his finger, several lost Cultivation Techniques fanned out like a deck of cards, "Is there truly no chance? To be frank, my family has amassed a substantial wealth of treasures and cultivation books, perhaps there’s something you might fancy?"
"No chance at all!"
Seeing the resolute attitudes of Lu Yang and Meng Jingzhou, the leader let out a long sigh to the heavens.
"Enough, enough. Let’s go."
