Chapter 114: Soul Wood
Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio
Bai Wushang was sure that the Bloodline Fruit was a very useful item for Zhu Qin.
If the little flame sparrow could eat the Bloodline Fruit, it could purify a trace of its bloodline and increase the probability of atavism.
Even if the probability was very small.
However, sometimes, the difference between success and failure was often just this little bit.
With her methods and background, she must have enough money to buy this item.
The only thing that worried him was whether Zhu Qin would be willing to deal with him properly.
Bai Wushang had heard of what she did on the trial ground. From the looks of it, she was a very reckless person, even more so than Situ Chi.
However, Bai Wushang felt that there was something different when they met today.
Zhu Qin did not like to talk. From the beginning to the end, she did not have too many emotions. There seemed to be some kind of flaw in her personality.
She was like a wild beast wearing beautiful human skin. The slightest movement of the grass and wind would cause flames to shoot out of her eyes. She was bursting with the aura of a life and death battle.
Such a person was strong, but also very direct.
It was difficult for Bai Wushang to connect the dots in the direction of scheming and scheming.
Combined with this time and this place...
This should be the true meaning of the “Peak” of the Sacred Mountain. It was a special space belonging to the Soul of Mountain Guardian, the Miracle Creature.
Under such circumstances, including the Demon Ape and the Moon Rabbit, who were in the state of Absorbing Gifts, Bai Wushang felt that his safety was unprecedented.
Think about it. If he gave his pet beast a gift, would it not be a slap to the Miracle Creature’s face if his master was to suffer? What was the use of having this gift?
Therefore, Bai Wushang took a small gamble and took the initiative to stop Zhu Qin from leaving.
In fact, the situation in reality was developing in an ideal direction.
The red-haired woman’s eyes were burning as she stared at the Bloodline Fruit. She then looked at the gray-clothed man and said softly,
“You, name a price.”
“Chirp!”
The Great Flame Sparrow chirped along and turned its head away with great difficulty.
The main reason was that it had drooled too much, which was somewhat embarrassing for the bird.
However, the crazy flames burning on its body still betrayed its excited and restless mood.
“12,000 gold coins, or 100 mystic energy points.”
Bai Wushang went straight to the point and explained with a smile, “I know that this thing is suitable for your flame sparrow, but I won’t ask for too much. I sincerely want to trade with you.”
“This price is only a little higher than the market price in the academy. I can also sell this much if I spend time and effort to find a channel.”
Zhu Qin nodded lightly. “Mm, it’s not expensive. It’s very cheap.”
It was probably the longest sentence he had heard so far from her. Bai Wushang’s smile gradually stiffened.
He silently ridiculed in his heart, “It really pricks my heart. I don’t understand the world of the rich...”
However, when he heard Zhu Qin’s next sentence, Bai Wushang was flabbergasted. He simply could not believe his ears.
“However, I don’t have any more money,” The red-haired woman said.
“???”
“My gold coins are temporarily... used up. My mystic energy points... I have used them for personal use.”
Zhu Qin’s expression was very subtle. It was as if she rarely said so much. She felt that it was very difficult for her to speak.
“Didn’t you just empty the trial grounds two days ago? You’ve already used it up? !”
Bai Wushang was somewhat speechless. This speed of spending money was too exaggerated!
Forget about the gold coins, she should have earned three to four hundred mystic energy points, but it was almost gone...
Was this the happiness of a rich woman? Buying, buying, and that was it?
Or was this flame sparrow a gold-swallowing beast?
Zhu Qin ignored Bai Wushang’s inquiry and changed the topic.
“We can barter. Choose two out of five items in exchange for the fruit. Is that okay?”
As she spoke, she raised her right wrist. There was a red storage bracelet hanging there, and she took out items one after another.
Bai Wushang looked carefully, and his eyes lit up.
These were all treasures!
Looking at the earthen yellow bead, it was round and clear, exuding the fragrance of the Earth. It was a precious jade called the Earth spirit bead. It was taken from the depths of the crypt, and it was consumed by a youth form with the corresponding attribute. One could use it to steadily break through a level, and it was worth five to six thousand gold coins on the market.
There was also a blue heart that was emitting electric arcs. If he guessed correctly, it should be the Lightning Snake Heart that was in the mature form.
Although it was just an organ, this special material with the lightning attribute had a very high medicinal value. Even the Cat Demon and the Iron Bone Eagle combined were not as valuable as it.
Bai Wushang was unable to take his eyes off the third item.
It was a palm-sized black piece of wood. It looked ordinary, but after staring at it for a long time, he felt a slight dizziness.
“Is this... Soul Wood?”
Bai Wushang’s eyes widened in disbelief.
“Yes.” Zhu Qin lightly replied, “I’ve used it, although there’s still a little more than half left.”
“That’s enough, I’ll change!”
Bai Wushang did not hesitate at all, and his heart beat faster than expected.
What a joke, this was a Soul Wood!
This thing was taken from the core of the “Soul Tree”. It was an extremely rare plant that was close to being endangered, and it was even better than the magical fruit tree.
It had only one use.
It provided a large amount of Soul Power that could be directly absorbed by a Spiritualist Master.
Bai Wushang could not help but ask, “You relied on this to break through to become a Soul Servant?”
The red-haired woman silently stared at him with an indifferent expression.
The Great Flame Sparrow was unhappy. What was he waiting for?
Hurry up!
Since he did not receive a response, it seemed like there was no mistake.
This item should be the key to Zhu Qin’s rapid advancement in her Soul Power rank after entering the trial grounds.
‘A complete Soul Wood is worth more than 15,000 gold coins. It’s not too much to estimate 10,000 gold coins for a half-used one...
‘Even if Zhu Qin only uses this item to trade, I’ll definitely exchange for it. To me, this is a true ‘divine item’. In less than two to three days, I’ll be able to use this to break through the Soul Power barrier and advance to a Soul Servant!’
Bai Wushang’s thoughts fluctuated as he restrained his joy.
‘What’s more, the condition is that I have to choose two out of five. I can choose another one!’
As his gaze swept across the red-haired girl’s arms, there were still two items left.
They were a jade scroll and a yellow egg.
Bai Wushang observed the egg first.
It was about the size of a person’s head. It had a light yellow base and its surface was uneven. There were also black patterns on it. The whole thing was rough and ugly.
[Name]: Baby Horned Demon (Wild)
[Race]: Abyss Realm, Demon-type, Horned Demon Clan
[Life Level]: Fetal Spirit Body
[Bloodline Quality]: Mortal Bone level 7-stars
[Status]: Unhatched/About to hatch
[Intelligence]: None
[Characteristics]: none
[Skills]: None
[Gourmet Cells]: 8
“It’s actually a demon egg... its quality and potential are not bad, but the function of this creature is too similar to that of the universe...”
A Baby Horned Demon was an extraordinary creature at the youth form level.
Its natural evolution chain was a mature Horned Demon and a complete Horned Demon.
This was a standard warrior-type monster. It was good at strength and defense and did not possess any special abilities.
Compared to the Demon Ape, the two were too close in nature!
To balance the overall ability of the pet team, Bai Wushang did not want to contract this kind of pet in the short term.
