Shameless Immortal: Emperor of Ten Thousand Beauties

Chapter 262: Chapter 262: Essence Blood Of Demonic Beast

After slipping out of the tea house unnoticed, Shen Yu walked down the bustling streets of the eastern district, a low chuckle vibrating in his chest.

Over the next few hours, he navigated the city’s hidden network to inspect his other covert logistical locations.

The environment in every single stronghold was exactly the same, disciplined, highly efficient, and absolutely brimming with determination.

His credit system was performing flawlessly.

By the time he concluded his rounds and returned to the Cao Clan estate, the midday sun was high in the sky.

He quietly slipped back into his private guest pavilion and found the luxurious bedroom completely empty.

Shuying was already gone, undoubtedly having dragged her sore, thoroughly claimed body back to her own quarters to clean up and maintain appearances before her husband returned from the treasury.

With the next phase of his marketplace trap set to trigger the following morning, Shen Yu found himself with nothing to do until the evening.

He sat on the cultivation mat, preparing to close his eyes and stabilize his newly expanded foundation.

But before he could even circulate his Qi, a familiar, sharp chime echoed in his mind, and a sleek, translucent screen manifested directly before his eyes.

[Weekly Primal Store Updated]

A sharp, anticipatory smile cut across Shen Yu’s face.

It had been nearly a week since his arrival in Crimson Iron City, and the precise timing of the system’s rotation never disappointed.

With a casual flick of his consciousness, he tapped the flashing icon to reveal the newly generated catalog.

Shen Yu’s golden eyes narrowed, locking immediately onto the very first item on the translucent list.

’This will be incredibly useful,’ he thought, studying the floating image of the vial, where the dark red, viscous blood seemed to churn like liquid magma.

He leaned back against the cushions and commanded internally, ’System, display my current points.’

The screen shimmered, updating instantly to show his accumulated balance.

[Available Desire Points: 9,350]

A sharp smirk touched his lips. ’Perfect. I have just enough.’

Knowing that a Tier 4 material from a Nascent Soul-level beast was an absolute rarity that would be invaluable for his upcoming plans, he didn’t hesitate.

He tapped the purchase icon.

[Purchase Successful. 8,500 Desire Points deducted.]

[Item ’Essence Blood of the Earth-Tremor Vajra Bear’ has been deposited into your storage ring.]

With a subtle pulse of his divine sense, Shen Yu interacted with his storage ring and materialized the item directly into his hand.

The glass vial felt remarkably heavy, and just as the system image had shown, the dark red essence blood glowed with an eerie, rhythmic pulse inside.

Even with the runes sealed tightly around the cork, the faint, suffocating pressure of a slaughtering Nascent Soul beast seeped into the air of the pavilion.

He smiled, thoroughly satisfied as he felt the raw, dormant power pulsing within the crystal vial, before casually storing it back into his ring with a flick of his wrist.

Glancing back at the remaining four items on the interface, he swept his eyes over the selection.

Aside from the thousand-year lotus petal, the offerings were entirely mediocre and beneath his current needs.

Deciding it was wiser to save his remaining 850 points for a rainy day, he casually swiped the interface away, letting the translucent screen dissolve back into the air.

With his preparations complete and nothing else demanding his attention until nightfall, Shen Yu crossed his legs on the divan and closed his eyes to meditate.

While dual cultivation remained his primary and most explosive vehicle for advancement, he had never neglected the discipline of traditional meditation.

He knew a woman wouldn’t always be at his side when he needed to cycle his energy, and refining his Qi normally once in a while was absolutely essential to compress and stabilize his rapidly expanding foundation.

He cultivated in absolute silence for nearly three hours, his breathing synchronized with the heavy, rhythmic flow of his internal true Qi.

Just as the afternoon shadows began to lengthen across the floorboards, the soft rustle of silk fabric echoed outside his door, followed by a familiar, hesitant voice.

"Senior Mo... may I come in?"
