A month ago, Lu Chuan had ransacked the Lu Clan's treasury of all the useful items. There was a huge pile of pills and a thick stack of gold notes.
There were also countless spirit beast cores and various medicinal herbs, all of which were stuffed into the Spatial Ring.
At this moment, Lu Chuan's wealth was comparable to that of any second-rate family in Blazing Snow City, except for the Lu, Ma, and Yang families. In fact, he might even surpass them.
However, it was a pity that there were no spirit stones in the Lu family's treasury.
In fact, it was normal to think about it. Spiritual stones were the real hard currency among cultivators. How could they be stored in the treasury? They must be carried by the three Lu brothers.
Carrying a large amount of gold notes, followed by bootlickers.
After a month, Lu Chuan came to the Myriad Treasure Tower again. Before he could enter, he heard a familiar voice coming from not far away.
"I won't ask you for more. 80,000!”
"It really is…"
Lu Chuan shook his head. The scammer was still setting up his stall.
The same rat tail, the same hand gesture, the same forty-five-degree angle looking up at the sky, everything seemed to be the same as usual.
"Brat, don't go yet. There's good stuff over there.”
Just as Lu Chuan was about to enter the Myriad Treasures Store, the system's voice suddenly sounded.
"Good stuff? How could there be anything good in his shabby stall?”
A trace of suspicion appeared on Lu Chuan's face. He had interacted with the stall owner before. The other party wanted to extort a sum of money from him with a rat tail that contained weak spiritual energy. He asked for 80,000 taels of silver.
However, Lu Chuan wasn't a fool. He directly went from eighty thousand taels to five hundred taels, and finally sold it at two taels of silver.
How could there be anything good with the boss's behavior?
"It's that rat tail. Buy it.”
"Alright then!"
Lu Chuan had always believed the system's words unconditionally.
As for the reason, he was his father!
On a stall by the street, a man in green was listening to the stall owner brag with admiration.
"Don't underestimate it. This is the spoils of war I obtained from my battle with the sixth grade spirit beast, the Heavenly Mouse. In that battle, the sky turned dark and the sun and moon lost their light. In order to stop it from wreaking havoc in the world, I exhausted my entire life's cultivation to severely injure it. In the end, the Heavenly Mouse ran away, and I became like this because of the backlash of the secret technique. Young man, as long as you get this tail, I'll teach you a secret technique, and you'll be able to find the Heavenly Mouse that I severely injured. It was a sixth grade spirit beast, which was equivalent to a human's cultivation base of the Spirit Cultivation Stage. Even a single strand of its hair was a treasure.”
The stall owner shook his head and looked up at the sky at a forty-five-degree angle. He seemed to be reminiscing about the past and thinking about his close friends and soulmates who had fought side by side…
"Senior, I didn't expect you to make such a huge sacrifice for the sake of the world. Junior deeply admires senior's great sentiments and noble character, but eighty thousand silver is really…"
The green-robed man looked troubled. His cultivation was only at Body Tempering Stage Four, which represented his strength and wealth.
A Qi Condensation cultivator could fight a third-grade spirit beast head-on. Whether it was the flesh or the inner core of the spirit beast, they could be sold at a very high price.
However, Body Tempering Stage Four cultivators were only slightly stronger than ordinary people. They couldn't even defeat a wild boar, so it was too difficult to obtain resources.
This person was just like that. He could still take out eight to ten taels of silver, but eighty thousand taels of silver was simply an astronomical figure.
"I think you really want it. Why don't we do this? This old man will bear the pain and part with it.”
The old liar stretched out two fingers, as if he loved the number eight.
"Eighty taels…"
The green-robed man hesitated. He was tempted, but his wealth did not allow it.
"Two taels of silver!"
Just as he gritted his teeth and was about to take out all his assets, a cold voice came from the side.
" Two taels, are you trying to get rid of a beggar…Uh, deal…"
Hearing the ridiculous price of two taels of silver, the stall owner was instantly enraged.
Just as he was about to curse, he raised his head and saw Lu Chuan and Chi Fengbiao beside him.
It had to be said that the bootlicker was still very handsome and eye-catching when he stood still.
Its fiery red long hair and tall posture made it look like its ancestor, the Heavenly Dog.
Although this stall owner's cultivation was very low, he had been on this street for many years, so his vision was first-class.
Anyone who wasn't blind would be able to recognize the Third Grade Spirit Beast Chi Fengbiao's eye-catching features.
To be able to raise a Third Grade Spirit Beast, and one that was of the highest grade in all aspects, like Chi Fengbiao, was not something that could be done with money. One also needed to have great strength.
In the entire Blazing Snow City, only the Three Great Clans and the City Lord's Mansion had this ability.
Therefore, the moment he saw Chi Fengbiao, the stall owner immediately realized that Lu Chuan's identity was not ordinary. He was not someone he could afford to provoke.
Moreover, he had sold a rat tail for two taels of silver a month ago, so he wouldn't lose out if he sold another one at the same price.
However, the people around him were dumbfounded by the smooth transaction between him and Lu Chuan.
The green-robed man: "???"
What was going on? The asking price was 80,000 taels of silver, then it was lowered to 80 taels of silver, and the deal was finally settled at two taels of silver?
Are you trying to fool a silly kid?
The green-robed man's anger rose from the bottom of his heart, and his evil guts grew. After that, he left without saying a word.
Body Tempering Stage Four, what nonsense!
"Isn't this the same thing as last time? What else could he do besides being a snack for bootlickers?”
Lu Chuan pinched his finger-length tail and asked in confusion.
"This rat tail is not ordinary. Its bloodline has returned to its ancestors.”
"Bloodline atavism? That awesome?"
Lu Chuan was a little shocked when he heard the system's words.
As mentioned before, there were only two ways for a spirit beast to advance after reaching adulthood.
One was to purify the bloodline and stimulate the bloodline power that belonged to the ancestors. There was a certain risk in doing so because the ancestor might be a weak chicken. Of course, this was very rare. Most of the bloodlines originated from extremely powerful divine beasts and immortal beasts.
The second method was to use the bloodline of other high-level spirit beasts to neutralize and replace his own bloodline. It was best to choose someone from the same clan, or else it would be easy to die instantly.
Bloodline Atavism was the first type. It activated the bloodline power that belonged to the ancestor.
"However, you'd better not have too much hope. The bloodline power in this rat tail is too thin. It can only be used as a primer to find high-level spirit beasts of the same clan. However, it was still better than nothing. What if he was lucky enough to encounter it one day?”
"Hmm, that makes sense."
Lu Chuan nodded." So, can you get your hands on this secret technique? I don't have high requirements. It's fine as long as it can be used.”
The System was speechless.
"If there's no secret technique, what's the point? This thing can only be used as a snack for bootlickers.”
Lu Chuan snorted and put the rat tail into his Sky Ring. Then, he walked toward the Myriad Treasures Store.
