Luo Tian was just lost in thought in a negative mood when it came to Yi Yunmeng.

But this made Dongfang Shuo extremely worried.

After hearing him shout, Luo Tian was startled awake and immediately said, “I’m fine. I’m really fine. You can save the Imperial Dragon Pill for your own use.”

Dongfang Shuo felt that Luo Tian was being overly polite, as if he couldn’t accept such a favor or that he feared there would be certain conditions behind it. He immediately said, “Don’t worry, little brother Luo. I will not request you to enter the Dongfang family or ask you to do something on my behalf. I just wanted to thank you. The Imperial Dragon Pill is able to cure all poisons. Even though it cannot fully resist the backlash from the Heavenly Abstruse Pill, it can still offer some relief from the pain.”

Luo Tian could see the truth in Dongfang Shuo’s eyes.

He was hiddenly moved by this.

In this man-eat-man world, having a brother who is genuinely good to you is a very precious thing that Luo Tian would cherish.

If it weren’t for Dongfang Shuo’s words at the very beginning of the competition, Wu Feng and Wang Huan would renege on the bet.

The outcome may not have ended like it has right now.

Luo Tian was already very grateful to Dongfang Shuo then.

Dongfang Shuo was afraid that someone would harm Luo Tian on the stage, so he disregarded the family rules and openly interfered in the affairs of Martial Mountain City. He then defended Luo Tian in front of the whole city. Luo Tian was grateful for all those things done for him.

Even though he wasn’t afraid of anything, he would still acknowledge and remember the person who was willing to stand up for him.

Now that Dongfang Shuo was treating him like a brother, Luo Tian felt that he shouldn’t hide anything from him. “Listen to me, big brother. The backlash from the Heavenly Abstruse Pill is not a threat to me, and it has already passed. Look at me, and you can see there’s nothing wrong with me. The Imperial Dragon Pill is something your father left for you, so you need to save it for yourself.”

“There’s nothing wrong with your body?”

Dongfang Shuo was briefly stunned, “How can there be nothing wrong? Even with my current cultivation, I would still be seriously injured from taking a Heavenly Abstruse Pill. You’re saying you’re fine? Are you lying to me? If you are, you are not treating me like a big brother. I’m going to look down on you for that.”

Luo Tian replied, “I’m really okay. If there was really something wrong, I would definitely not reject your offer.”

“Is it really true?”

“It’s the absolute truth!”

“You aren’t lying to me, right?”

“I’m really not lying!”

Dongfang Shuo felt this was rather strange but chose to believe in Luo Tian. He then laughed, “I’ve already said that you aren’t a simple person, and this shows I’m correct! Little brother Luo, your performance today was simply too fantastic, hahaha…”

Dongfang Shuo was a man of passion.

Once his heart knot was unraveled, his whole personality underwent a change.

Luo Tian scratched his head, “What’s so fantastic about it? It was them that forced me into a corner. I didn’t want it to turn out that way… heh heh…”

The two of them started laughing together.

At this time, the old steward came into the room with an exquisite looking box.

Dongfang Shuo said, “You are too stingy. Isn’t it just an Imperial Dragon Pill? It’s not even yours. Telling you to bring it to me is as if I want your life or something. You can put it back now. Little brother Luo has already resolved the backlash from the Heavenly Abstruse Pill by himself. But you need to keep this secret and not tell anyone about it. Otherwise…”

The elderly man was surprised and immediately said, “This old servant understands.”

“En~, you can withdraw.”

There were many things about the Ancient World that Luo Tian didn’t know about, and now was a good time to ask. The most important question was how to get a Power of Blood Spirit. He wanted to unlock his Four Divine Beasts bloodline seal so that he could give Yi Yunmeng some essence blood before she left the city.

Luo Tian immediately asked, “Big brother Dongfang, do you know how much a high ranking blood spirit costs?”

Dongfang Shuo was stunned, “A Power of Blood Spirit? And it has to be a high ranking one? Do you need a blood spirit to cultivate? I’m afraid it will be very difficult for you to absorb a blood spirit with your current cultivation.”

Luo Tian nodded, “I do have use for it.”

Dongfang Shuo said, “Only a rank 7 demonic beast or higher would have a blood spirit, and a single one would need two to three million xuan coins. There’s no way Martial Mountain City would have blood spirits for sale. Even Towering Cloud City might only have one or two since not many can afford it. Even if someone gets their hands on a blood spirit, they would not put it up for sale that easily. A Power of Blood Spirit is a very sacred material for cultivation, so pretty much no one would be willing to sell it.”

For a world where martial strength reigned supreme, cultivation resources were the key to success.

The Power of Blood Spirit possesses the densest yuan energy from a demonic beast. It can provide a high ranking martial artist with several years of cultivation. So, who in their right mind would take it out to sell?

“Damn it…”

“Sure enough, it needs a few million xuan coins.” Luo Tian’s mind turned heavy. He originally thought he was rich with seventy thousand xuan coins. Now, he realized he was just a poor lousy bum. Seventy thousand and three million was too big a gap.

Luo Tian then said to himself, “It looks like buying a blood spirit is too unrealistic. And even if I can afford one, Dongfang Shuo said it isn’t certain if anyone was willing to sell it. Buying one is definitely too difficult a route to take.”

If he uses the Hulk Transformation card to kill rank 7 demonic beasts, Luo Tian wasn’t sure if he could kill one within five minutes.

Even if he manages to kill one, he won’t be able to use it again for another ten days. So, how was he supposed to escape the dangerous area of the mountain range?

This path won’t work at all.

Most importantly, can a rank 7 demonic beast’s blood spirit even unseal his bloodline? The system wouldn’t give him any hints, so he wasn’t entirely sure. Luo Tian then grumbled, “F*cking hell, is it really that hard for me to unseal my bloodline?”

Dongfang Shuo noticed Luo Tian in thought, so he asked, “Is a blood spirit that important to you? If you really need it…”

Luo Tian interrupted Dongfang Shuo and said, “Big brother Dongfang, I want to get it with my own abilities. There’s no need to bother you with it.”

This wasn’t a hundred thousand or two. This was three million xuan coins we’re talking about!

And this was just a rank 7 blood spirit. What if it was a rank 8, or a rank 9? The price would definitely be sky high. This amount of money to a family was probably something that wasn’t easily taken out. Since Dongfang Shuo was residing in a place like Martial Mountain City, one can easily see that he wasn’t that popular in the Dongfang family.

Dongfang Shuo might be able to help him, but the price he needs to pay will definitely be huge.

That was something Luo Tian didn’t want to see.

A brother was someone to cherish.

Luo Tian continued, saying, “I’m not in a rush, so I will think of ways to get it myself.”

Dongfang Shuo was rebuking himself internally before saying to Luo Tian, “Little brother Luo, I will do my best to find out news on the blood spirits. Even if I can’t help you that much, I can still borrow the Dongfang family’s name to get it for you at a lower price.”

Luo Tian smiled, “Thank you, big brother Dongfang.”

“You should be tired now. I’m not going to bother you any longer, so go ahead and rest in this room.” Dongfang Shuo left after saying this.

He then went in search of the old steward.

“Do you know how much xuan coins it costs in the market for a rank 7 blood spirit?”

“At least 2.8 million.”

“How much savings do I currently have?”

“Young master, why are you asking this?”

“Enough of the nonsense, and just tell me.”

“Your monthly allowance over the years and the inheritance the old master left you… The total is 1.5 million xuan coins.”

“I understand. During this period, gather news about blood spirits. I want to see if there’s anyone selling it. Don’t ask why; just do as I say.”

“This old servant obeys.”

Inside the room, Luo Tian was tossing and turning in bed, unable to sleep. He looked at the sack of money and smiled bitterly until thinking about the store his new system had. His eyes lit up as he said, “Since I have more than seventy thousand xuan coins, let’s see what I can buy!”
