Chapter 219: Chapter 109: Dragon Blood and Magic Ring Seed
A couple of days ago, Zorn learned from the Alchemist that the profits for this past April were about 80,000 gold pounds.
As his enterprise expanded, the profits for May were expected to grow even further, estimated to reach 100,000 gold pounds.
"For about four thousand gold pounds, you can get all the Dragon Blood from one Level Six Black Shark Dragon."
"Eight thousand gold pounds will get you the Dragon Blood of a Level 7."
"For twenty thousand gold pounds, you can get all the Dragon Blood from a Level 8 with Giant Dragon characteristics."
The Thorny Blood Lady detailed their rich haul from this venture.
Hearing this, Zorn raised an eyebrow slightly.
"That’s not cheap."
For creatures of the Dragon Race, Dragon Crystals, Dragon Scales, and Dragon Blood were the most valuable resources.
Dragon Crystals could be used to break through Skill and Level caps, and could be converted into Essence to increase Sequence Experience.
They possessed extremely potent effects, naturally comparable to a Sacred Mark.
Dragon Scales!
Needless to say, Zorn even wanted a set of Dragon Armor for himself.
And Dragon Blood was a core resource for many aspects of Alchemy and Potion Making.
Many of the top-tier potion formulas Zorn possessed required Dragon Blood as a core ingredient.
In any World, the rewards for Dragon Slaying were immense.
You either suffered devastating losses and a total party wipe...
...or you reaped a bountiful feast.
"The Dragon Blood... I’ll take it all!"
Zorn said after a moment’s thought.
"What?"
The Thorny Blood Lady was taken aback, thinking she had misheard.
"I said, I’ll take all of your Dragon Blood."
The Thorny Blood Lady’s eyebrows shot up, and a look of delight spread across her face.
"Esteemed Mr. Zorn, if you’re buying all the Dragon Blood, I’ll go get the captain right away."
With that, the Thorny Blood Lady hurried away.
Zorn stood before the full-length mirror, propping his chin on his hand, lost in thought.
For a bloodline-type Talent like the Power of the Golden Giant Dragon, its Level only revealed a fraction of its characteristics. The key was to continuously strengthen his Dragon Blood by consuming Dragon Blood Potions. The more potent his Dragon Blood became, the more powerful the Power of the Golden Giant Dragon Talent would grow. Its upper limit was extremely high! This was the nature of bloodline-type Talents.
The Power of the Golden Giant Dragon not only synergized perfectly with the techniques of a Fighting Master, but it could also fuse seamlessly with the Ancient God’s Hand. Whether it was the basic Golden Arm or the three forms of the Ancient God Curse, they all formed a perfect Curse Linkage with the Power of the Golden Giant Dragon.
Zorn wasn’t short on gold pounds right now. What he lacked were these kinds of scarce resources.
Others might obtain Dragon Blood, but they wouldn’t necessarily be able to achieve anything with it.
Zorn, on the other hand, possessed numerous powerful Dragon Blood Potion formulas.
He even had formulas for Magic Potions designed to draw out the maximum potential of Dragon Blood and enhance his Power of the Golden Giant Dragon.
With several potion factories supplying Essence and the Alchemist Vladimir having recently advanced to Level Six, Zorn could have him concoct and refine the Dragon Blood Potions. Before long, Zorn would have a continuous supply of these Magic Potions to enhance his own strength.
Soon, the captain of the Blood Sail Pirate Gang, Jack Jones, appeared on the other side of the Magic Mirror.
After exchanging pleasantries, the two got straight to the point and began discussing the details of the Dragon Blood transaction.
In the end, for the price of ninety thousand gold pounds, Zorn purchased all the Dragon Blood from two Level Eight Black Demon Dragons, three Level Seven Demon Dragons, and seven Level Six Black Demon Dragons.
Additionally, Captain Jack Jones threw in a batch of Level Seven Dragon Scales as a bonus for Zorn.
By the time the two had finished discussing the numerous details of the transaction, as well as various pieces of maritime intelligence and rumors, it was already late into the night.
After agreeing on their maritime routes and plans for the near future, the two concluded their conversation.
After bidding Miss Witch goodnight, Zorn walked toward the deeper parts of the castle.
’News of Demon Creatures is already starting to spread from the depths of the ocean.’
’Apparently, Saint Nuoya’s Golden Island has been occupied by those terrifying Demon Creatures. That confirms it—the Upper Rank powerhouse stationed there is either lost or has fallen.’
’In other words, Saintisman can no longer effectively control Saint Nuoya’s Golden Island.’
’This vicious stab across the seas must be driven home.’
’Only then can I deal a severe blow to Saintisman and those Jade Apostles, leaving them with no place to hide in this World.’
’Moreover... a perfect coordinate for the Demon World is not only a perfect Flesh and Blood Ranch, but also... a source of countless resources.’
’The Demons want to turn our World into their Flesh and Blood Ranch.’
’As it happens, I want to turn the Demon World into *my* Flesh and Blood Ranch.’
Lost in thought, Zorn arrived at the entrance to the Spirit Realm Gate, hidden deep within the castle.
His gaze fell upon the Spirit Realm within, and he let out a long sigh.
After the war in the Spirit Realm, Zorn had originally thought he could quickly obtain the Calamity Magic Ring Seed.
But as it turned out, the path was fraught with difficulties. He had encountered a terrifying Star Realm Storm.
Fortunately, he had the template of a World-level BOSS, which was the only reason he could withstand a storm that was like a Forbidden Curse.
Otherwise, an ordinary Transcendent would have been instantly annihilated upon entering it.
A Sequence Level of Level 7 was indeed not suitable for venturing deep into the Star Realm.
It wasn’t until yesterday that the Star Realm Storm finally subsided.
Following a faint guidance from the void, Zorn could now sense the specific direction of the call from the Star Realm·Calamity Origin Land.
The Calamity Origin Land in the Holy Relic World was not the complete Calamity Origin Land.
There were another six pieces of the Calamity Origin Land scattered throughout the depths of the Star Realm.
In other words, there were seven pieces of the Calamity Origin Land in total.
The piece of the Calamity Origin Land that Zorn had reached contained the one and only Calamity: Magic Ring Tree Seed.
At his current stage, Zorn was unable to move these pieces of the Calamity Origin Land.
But those powerful nations could.
Once they moved all seven pieces of the Calamity Origin Land to the Holy Relic World and placed them in the correct positions, they could effectively utilize them.
Although Zorn couldn’t move the Calamity Origin Lands, he could plunder all the top-tier resources within them.
For example, Sequences like Zorn’s, born from the flesh and blood of Egunus, were the "treasure" of the first piece of the Origin Land.
The powerful Resurrection Power of an Evil Spirit Wizard could not only be used by him but also by other Sequences.
But Zorn had already gathered up most of the resources and information related to this long ago.
Others had no way to get started.
Otherwise!
There would have been no need for those ancient nations to make a move.
The powerful factions within the World alone would have moved against Zorn first.
The treasure in this second Calamity Origin Land was the unique Calamity: Magic Ring Tree Seed.
Zorn planned to plant it in his Calamity Divine Kingdom.
He would use the Border Region constructed by the Evil Spirit Calamity as tentacles to draw upon the unique roots of the World.
Before those terrifying nations could enslave this World, Zorn needed to root his own power deep within the World’s very foundation.
Even if they managed to enslave the World, Zorn would still be able to safely draw upon its most core resources.
’Today, I should finally be able to get my hands on the Magic Ring Tree Seed.’
With this thought, Zorn disappeared into the depths of the Spirit Realm Gate.
