After a mental scan, Zheng Lao couldn't help but let out a surprised sound:
“Although this Blood煞 ancient corpse is filled with煞 energy,
the will within it has been completely erased,
without a main soul to control it, it cannot move, it's just a puppet.”
Zheng Lao then turned his gaze to Su Yuan and asked, “Did you destroy this Blood煞 Ancient Corpse King?”
Su Yuan quickly shook his head, explaining, “I'm just an outer disciple, how could I have such ability.
It was my senior brothers and sisters who destroyed it with me.”
Then, Su Yuan continued, “Zheng Lao, to protect me earlier, many vengeful spirits entered the bodies of my senior brothers and sisters, they might have injured their souls.
Please save them first, I'm fine.”
Zheng Lao nodded slightly, then cast his gaze towards Senior Brother Ling and the others.
Su Yuan continued, “Senior Brother Wang Xian was seriously injured in his fight with the Ancient Corpse King earlier.
Then he was also swept away by the rubble and fell into this ancient battlefield, he should be in danger!”
Zheng Lao's spiritual sense swept across, finding Wang Xian, whose body was half crushed by the rubble.
He sighed and said, “Fortunately, he still has a breath left.”
He turned to Su Yuan, “Su Yuan, this matter is not to be trifled with, you come with us.”
Su Yuan nodded in agreement.
After that, Zheng Lao took Su Yuan and the others away together.
Along the way, Su Yuan was still thinking about how to push most of the credit for destroying the Ancient Corpse King to Senior Brother Ling and the others.
After all, this credit was too great, Su Yuan felt that he couldn't bear it.
After arriving at White Bone Peak, Su Yuan was arranged to rest in a side room.
Zheng Lao, on the other hand, took Senior Brother Ling and the others to the Medicine Fragrance Pavilion to recover.
Su Yuan took this opportunity to check his own situation.
At this moment, the seven Blood Demon Essences in his dantian were all dim and lifeless.
In the fight against the Ancient Corpse King, although he was protected by the Phoenix Spirit Streamer Armor, he still suffered several fatal injuries.
In addition to the consumption of the Blood Demon True Body, the energies of the seven Blood Demon Essences were completely exhausted.
Su Yuan sighed helplessly.
“What are you sighing for?”
Zheng Lao's voice sounded from outside the door.
Zheng Lao pushed the door open and walked in.
Su Yuan quickly got up and said, “Nothing, just worrying about Senior Brother Ling and the others.”
Zheng Lao laughed, “They are fine, just that I can’t believe that you’ve become so attached to them after just two days?”
Su Yuan said, “Senior Brother Ling and the others are my saviors, if not for them I might have died in the Blood煞 Cave.”
Zheng Lao said, “Don’t worry, they will be fine, they will recover after ten or so days of rest.
Just tell me everything that happened in the Blood煞 Cave.”
Su Yuan nodded and said, “I don't know where this Blood煞 Ancient Corpse came from.
After cultivating in the blood pool, I sensed danger to my senior brothers and sisters.
So I rushed over and then joined my senior brothers and sisters to deal with the Blood煞 Ancient Corpse King.
Zheng Lao, you know, the Blood Demon Tempering Art I cultivate has a spell that can absorb Blood煞 energy.
With this spell, I absorbed a lot of the Blood煞 energy inside the Blood煞 Ancient Corpse.
This made the Blood煞 Ancient Corpse furious, it smashed the entire ground, and we fell into that ancient battlefield as a result.
A large mass of pitch-black mist came out of the Blood煞 Ancient Corpse's body.
If it weren't for my senior brothers and sisters breaking out, I might already be dead.
That mist probably sensed your arrival and ran away.”
Zheng Lao looked disbelieving, “That’s it?”
Su Yuan seriously nodded.
Zheng Lao smiled, not replying.
Being a 魔道 cultivator, he didn't believe that his disciple would do something so honest.
But only two disciples died, which was still acceptable.
He brought up another matter, “This time, the appearance of a Golden Core stage Ancient Corpse King in the Blood煞 Cave is the result of the treacherous actions of诡皮 Peak.
As the victims of this incident, we at White Bone Peak will naturally not miss this opportunity for blackmail.
Whatever compensation you want, I can get it for you.”
Su Yuan’s eyes flashed, and a look of excitement appeared in them.
However, thinking that he wasn’t a White Bone Peak disciple, he asked, “Even though I am not a White Bone Peak disciple, I can still get compensation?”
Zheng Lao grinned cunningly, “Who said you can't?
You just don't wear the White Bone Peak disciple's clothes.”
Su Yuan immediately understood what was going on.
“I want two third-order Blood Demon Tempering Pills.”
Zheng Lao's eyelids twitched, “Third-order Blood Demon Tempering Pills, you little brat really dare to say.”
But he still nodded in agreement, “Alright, you wait, anyway, this time if诡皮 Peak doesn't provide adequate compensation, we at White Bone Peak will never let them off easy.”
“Rest well here at White Bone Peak, I’ll go talk to詭皮 Peak about compensation.”
Su Yuan nodded, watching Zheng Lao leave.
Su Yuan heard about the Blood Demon Tempering Pills from somewhere else.
It is said that taking a first-order Blood Demon Tempering Pill can directly condense a Blood Demon Essence for cultivators in the early stages of the Blood Demon Tempering Art.
Second-order corresponds to the mid-stage of Tempering.
Third-order corresponds to the late stage of Tempering.
Moreover, these Blood Demon Tempering Pills are priceless.
Even a first-order Blood Demon Tempering Pill can be sold for tens of thousands of low-grade spirit stones.
And a second-order Blood Demon Tempering Pill is ten times the price of a first-order one.
The value of a third-order Blood Demon Tempering Pill is completely unimaginable.
So hearing Su Yuan asking for a third-order Blood Demon Tempering Pill, even Elder Zheng Lao was slightly shocked.
But Su Yuan dared to make such a bold request because he heard Zheng Lao’s intention to have a life-and-death feud with詭皮 Peak.
If he didn’t get a third-order Blood Demon Tempering Pill, Su Yuan wouldn’t be sad.
After all, he also knew the value of a third-order Blood Demon Tempering Pill.
If he really got one, it would be a windfall for Su Yuan.
The later the Blood Demon Tempering Art progresses, the greater the resources required.
Now at the seventh level of Tempering, he was only two levels away from the ninth level of Tempering.
Su Yuan didn’t even dare to imagine the resources needed for those two levels.
“Oh right! I haven’t finished absorbing the Blood煞 energy inside that Golden Core stage Blood煞 Ancient Corpse!”
Suddenly, Su Yuan thought of something, taking out the Ancient Corpse King's body.
“Anyway, I'm going to hand over this body.
The Blood煞 energy inside is a hassle to others, but it's a supplement for me.
Now absorbing the Blood煞 energy inside is also a good deed!”
Su Yuan began to perform the Blood Refinement Great Art.
Dark red Blood煞 energy continuously flowed out of the body, being absorbed by Su Yuan.
Just as Su Yuan was cultivating.
At White Bone Peak, in the main hall.
A heated confrontation was taking place.
Slap!
Seeing the compensation list given by Zheng Lao, Wan Elder from诡皮 Peak was so angry that he slapped the table beside them.
Wan Elder roared at Zheng Lao, “Zheng Xuanzi, you are simply asking for the moon!
Just because two late-stage Qi Condensation cultivators died and a few Foundation Establishment juniors were injured, you dare to ask for so much!
I won’t even mention those Xuan Yin Soul Restoring Pills, Blood Bone Ganoderma, spirit stones, and magic weapons.
What are these ten third-order Blood Demon Tempering Pills?
When did White Bone Peak need these tempering and blood refinement items?
Do you know how many spirit stones a Blood Demon Tempering Pill is worth? Ah?!”
Listening to Wan Elder’s roar, Zheng Lao said calmly, “Of course I know, but who told you to be so careless at诡皮 Peak.
If no one had died, I wouldn’t pursue it.
But now two disciples from my peak have died, and four more have been seriously injured.
If you don’t give me an explanation, I'll go to the higher authorities to complain!”
“You!”
Wan Elder’s momentum faltered, but he still said fiercely, “It is true that诡皮 Peak was at fault, but we will absolutely not let you dictate terms!
I don’t accept this compensation list.
If you want compensation, then show some sincerity!”
Zheng Lao’s lips curled upwards, and he smiled, “Alright, White Bone Peak can take a step back, if it still doesn’t work, then we’ll see each other at the Law Enforcement Department!”
……
In the side room, without the Ancient Corpse King’s soul to hinder him, Su Yuan’s absorption went very smoothly this time.
Not long after, the Blood煞 energy inside was absorbed clean.
Su Yuan looked into his dantian.
The seven Blood Demon Essences, which had been dim before, now exuded life again.
There was also a lot of extra Blood煞 energy in his dantian and meridians.
Su Yuan exclaimed in surprise, “Not only have the seven Blood Demon Essences been restored, but there’s also some extra.
This extra Blood煞 energy should be enough to condense one-third of a Blood Demon Essence.”
