"Fifth Elder, help me!"
At this moment, the two Taowu people who were being controlled by Qin Hao immediately cried for help.
Qin Hao looked at the so-called Fifth Elder and said with a smile, "I'm not here to kill anyone, I just want a drop of your essence blood."
The Fifth Elder had overheard Qin Hao's purpose from a great distance: it was simply for a drop of Taowu Essence Blood.
So, he immediately thought of a few years ago when a supreme expert came to the clan and said that if a young man Qin Hao came to ask for his essence blood, they should not make things difficult for him.
Furthermore, a test will be set for the boy. If he completes the test, he will receive a drop of essence blood; if he fails the test, the essence blood will be forfeited.
The man in front of me, whom I had heard from a great distance, said his Qin Hao.
Thinking of this, the Fifth Elder immediately asked, "Young friend, I am the Fifth Elder of the Taowu Clan. Please come with me!"
Upon hearing this, Qin Hao's lips curled up, thinking to himself, "What kind of tricks can you possibly pull?"
At this moment, a member of the Taowu Clan nearby immediately said, "Fifth Elder, he wants our life essence! I say we should kill him!"
Upon hearing this, the Fifth Elder glared at the Taowu Clan who had spoken and rebuked him, "Are you trying to teach me how to do things?"
"This junior wouldn't dare!"
"Hmph! Not reporting guests immediately when they're around? I'll let it slide this time, but if it happens again, you're dead!"
Yes! Yes!
The two Taowu Clan turned pale with fright and quickly responded.
After the Fifth Elder finished speaking, he immediately looked at Qin Hao, and the seriousness on his face was replaced by a smile.
"Young friend, please!"
And so, Qin Hao followed the Fifth Elder into the Taowu Clan.
The Taowu Clan's interior is completely different from its exterior. It looks ordinary from the outside, but inside it is a separate space.
This space is somewhat similar to the one in the Abyss that Li Ruoxi had, but it is larger.
This was certainly not what surprised Qin Hao the most. What surprised him the most was that the chieftain of the Taowu Clan was actually a Martial Emperor 90th Order, and he also looked like a young man.
Fifth Elder, what is it?
"Taowu Clan."
"Clan leader, young friend 'Qin Hao' has come to request a drop of his essence blood!"
The Fifth Elder deliberately said the name "Qin Hao" aloud.
The clan chief had been absentmindedly looking at the book in his hands, but upon hearing Qin Hao's name, he immediately perked up and sat up.
He looked at Qin Hao, then immediately asked politely, "Ahem, young friend, would you like to take my Taowu Essence Blood?"
To be honest, Qin Hao had no idea what the Taowu Clan was up to, and he was also puzzled.
'If what those two Taowu Clan said is true, that even a drop of essence blood would consume one's lifespan and cultivation, then they shouldn't have been so polite to me!'
Thinking it over, Qin Hao didn't care anymore. Anyway, he was practically invincible in the Kaiyuan Universe, so what was there to be afraid of?
"Ahem, yes, I have come to the Taowu Clan today to request a drop of its essence blood."
"As you probably know, young friend, this essence blood is extremely important to everyone. A single drop represents 1000 years of lifespan and can even cause one's cultivation to regress."
The clan chief still smiled and explained politely.
"Really? Just one drop of essence blood, right? How about this? I'll trade my essence blood for yours. I'll exchange my ten drops for one drop, how about that?"
Upon hearing this, the clan chief, who was sitting in his seat, was so frightened that he stood up abruptly.
The Fifth Elder beside Qin Hao also jumped up, which completely baffled Qin Hao.
'Oh no, isn't essence blood just blood containing the essence of the whole body? What's so special about it!'
"Young friend, you must be joking! A single drop of this essence blood costs 1000 years of lifespan; these 10 drops, I'm afraid..."
Everyone knew what he was going to say next, but because of that master from a few years ago, the first thing he did was to take a drop of his essence blood.
Not only did he lose 1,000 years of his lifespan, but his cultivation level also plummeted from the Martial Emperor 80th Order to the 30th level.
However, with just a wave of his hand, that expert returned to his peak from the Martial Emperor 30th Order.
That wasn't all; he then broke through 10 realms in succession, reaching the Martial Emperor 90th Order.
Having lived through countless eons, I have only ever encountered one such master with such methods.
The master instructed that in the future, a young man Qin Hao would come to ask for his essence blood. He would arrange a trial for him and then give the young man the drop of essence blood that had been taken from him.
No matter how you look at it, this is a win for me. I gave up a drop of essence blood, and not only was my lifespan restored, but my cultivation level also increased by a full ten realms. This is a tremendous opportunity.
The young man before them was Qin Hao, and he must have some connection with that master, so naturally they couldn't be neglected.
In fact, even without being told aloud, Qin Hao knew what they were talking about. They were saying that if a single drop of essence blood could reduce one's lifespan by 1,000 years, then 10 drops of essence blood would not just result in a 10,000-year lifespan, but in death.
After all, these Taowu Clan couldn't discern his true strength. The two Martial Emperor Tier 3 members who were able to subdue the Taowu Clan must have been at least Martial Emperor 5th Tier, and their essence blood was definitely not that much.
Although he knew all this, Qin Hao didn't say much. He simply broke open his palm and forced out 10 drops of essence blood to float in front of him.
"What? You..."
The Fifth Elder and the Clan Chief were dumbfounded. They had personally witnessed Qin Hao forcibly extract 10 drops of his essence blood.
Moreover, these 10 drops of essence blood were all golden, and they also radiated a seven-colored halo.
This indicates that this is all essence and blood, not ordinary fresh blood.
"The energy contained in this essence blood is so pure! I was just standing right next to it, and my bottleneck has already loosened!"
The Fifth Elder, standing to the side, exclaimed in disbelief.
In fact, it wasn't just him; even the clan leader, standing 3 meters away behind the chopping board, felt his cultivation level had improved considerably and was equally shocked.
"See? It's just 10 drops of essence blood. Come on, 10 drops for one drop of yours!"
"This..."
The clan leader and the fifth elder immediately looked troubled.
"What? I exchanged 10 drops of my essence blood for one drop of yours, and you still think it's a loss?"
Qin Hao said, "Let me tell you, a single drop of my essence blood can instantly allow an ordinary mortal to break through to the Martial Emperor 50th Tier. Can your essence blood do that?"
"What? A single drop can allow an ordinary mortal to break through to the Martial Emperor, and even the 50th level?"
The Fifth Elder and the Clan Chief were shocked once again, thinking that if it really had this effect, unless you were a Martial Emperor 100th Tier or higher, what was the point of the trial?
A trial for the younger generation is just child's play for you.
"If you don't believe me, try refining a drop!"
As he spoke, Qin Hao gave one drop to each of the Fifth Elder and the Clan Chief.
