Three Requests: Dou Saint Skeleton, Ninth-Rank Magical Beast Blood Essence

Xiao Yan looked directly at Gu Yuan and said frankly, "Uncle, to be honest, when I gave Xun'er the Ancient Jade, I was actually thinking of obtaining some resources from the Ancient Clan."

Gu Yuan was not surprised at all. Having lived for so many years, even though he spent most of his time cultivating, his ability to judge people was definitely not bad.

There are some things he simply turns a blind eye to.

How could he not see through Xiao Yan's little schemes?

He also had some respect for Xiao Yan, which is why he took the initiative to offer him resources.

To his surprise, Xiao Yan actually admitted it, which made him think even more highly of him.

Being able to recognize one's own heart at this age and have the courage to reveal it is enough to prove that Xiao Yan's character far surpasses that of his peers.

The younger generation of the Ancient Clan, who were the same age as Xiao Yan or even much older, were all brave and fierce children, far inferior to Xiao Yan.

"Xiao Yan, I'm glad you were able to speak your true thoughts."

"Just say what you want."

"The Ancient Clan clan is large and powerful. As long as the resources are not at the Dou Sheng level, we can discuss how much you want," Gu Yuan said generously.

Upon hearing this, Xiao Yan touched his nose and chuckled somewhat sheepishly, "Ahem, Uncle Gu Yuan, I don't have many requests, just three in total."

Gu Yuan had a vague sense of foreboding. "What... are these three requests?"

Xiao Yan held up one finger. "The first one, the Dou Saint Skeleton, the higher the star rating, the better."

A hint of surprise flashed in Gu Yuan's eyes.

He just casually mentions the remains of Dou Sheng?

"You brat, do you think that Dou Sheng and Dou Venerate are as common as they are in the Central Plains?"

"Even among the Ancient Clan, Dou Sheng is an absolute high-level combat force. In fact, when the major Ancient Clan are confronting each other, they often only need to send out Semi-Saint. You just open your mouth and ask for the Dou Saint Skeleton. How dare you?" Gu Yuan's emotions did not fluctuate much.

Xiao Yan smiled and asked in return, "So, is that alright?"

"Yes," Gu Yuan answered readily. Clearly, in Gu Yuan's eyes, or rather in the eyes of the Ancient Clan, the Tou She Ancient God Jade Fragment were still very valuable.

Xiao Yan then mentioned his second request.

"Uncle, my second request is the Beast Flame of Ninth-Rank Magical Beast," Xiao Yan said.

Gu Yuan's lips twitched again. "Ninth-Rank Magical Beast, those are peak magical beasts comparable to human Dou Sheng. How easy is it to obtain their Beast Flame?"

Even our Ancient Clan does not possess any existing Ninth-Rank Beast Flame.

"Of course, if you insist on wanting it, we can find it for you, but that would require the Ancient Clan to expend more manpower, and you wouldn't be able to obtain more resources afterward."

Xiao Yan knew that Gu Yuan was being very sincere. While feeling slightly disappointed, he asked, "Uncle, what if we changed the request to Eighth-Rank Beast Flame or Heavenly Flames?"

Gu Yuan gave Xiao Yan a deep look. "Eighth-Rank Beast Flame isn't considered precious to the Ancient Clan, but there are too many Ancient Clan, and just as many Alchemist, so even if there is Eighth-Rank Beast Flame, it is often quickly snatched up."

"As for the Heavenly Flames, it's similar to Eighth-Rank Beast Flame. Even a low-tier Heavenly Flames is a target that the Alchemist in the clan fight over."

"Therefore, these Ancient Clan also couldn't offer too much."

Xiao Yan:...

Why did he feel that the Ancient Clan was poorer than he had imagined?

Xiao Yan sighed helplessly and stated his third request.

"Uncle, my third request is for the essence blood of Ninth-Rank Magical Beast, two portions will suffice."

"Okay." Gu Yuan nodded in agreement, his decisiveness surprising.

Unlike Beast Flame, which is a scarce resource, beast blood is a rather useless resource.

The fundamental reason is that although the essence blood of magical beasts also contains a great deal of energy, the energy of some magical beast essence blood is so violent that there are not many ways to use it effectively, and therefore it has been preserved.

Gu Yuan glanced at Xiao Yan, but ultimately asked nothing.

"Among the Ancient Clan, there are some Ninth-Rank Magical Beast essences, most of which were obtained from battles with those magical beast families a long time ago. As a result, some of the energy has been lost, and the energy of these magical beast essences is very violent and difficult to use."

Considering that the requirements of Beast Flame and Heavenly Flames cannot be met, and for several reasons combined, I have made the decision that I can give you five portions of the essence blood of Ninth-Rank Magical Beast."

Xiao Yan's eyes lit up, and the disappointment in his heart instantly vanished.

The essence blood of Ninth-Rank Magical Beast is comparable to that of Dou Sheng Expert!

There were a full five portions of essence blood. Even if some of the energy in these essence blood was lost, even if one portion had to be set aside for use when Yao Lao was resurrected.

Xiao Yan was certain that these four portions of essence blood were enough to raise his physical body to the peak of the Eighth Rank.

Furthermore, if he were to first improve his physical body to the Eighth Rank, then these four portions of essence blood could very well elevate his physical body to the level of Semi-Saint!

Xiao Yan swallowed hard, suddenly remembering the Ancient Void Dragon Clan.

If he could obtain some more Ninth-Rank Magical Beast Blood Essence from the Ancient Void Dragon Clan through Zi Yan's connections, he might be able to elevate his physical body to the Ninth Rank!

Imagining himself able to fight Dou Sheng Expert with his bare body, Xiao Yan became somewhat excited, and his breathing quickened.

"Xiao Yan, if you don't want the Dou Saint Skeleton, I can give you even more Ninth-Rank Magical Beast Blood Essence," Gu Yuan said.

Upon hearing this, Xiao Yan shook his head without hesitation and said, "Uncle Gu Yuan, I still prefer to obtain the Dou Saint Skeleton."

The Dou Saint Skeleton were used to resurrect his own teacher.

With the Dou Saint Skeleton and the Ninth-Rank Magical Beast Blood Essence, all he needs to do is refine a high-grade Bone-Growing Blood-Melting Pill.

Furthermore, Yao Lao had already recovered to his peak, and even his Soul Power had increased.

It is entirely possible that Yao Lao would reach the Dou Sheng cultivation level immediately upon resurrection.

The benefits that becoming Dou Sheng would bring to Yao Lao are self-evident, far exceeding the value of a Dou Saint Skeleton.

Even setting aside the issue of mutual benefit, his relationship with Yao Lao had reached the level of father and son, so he naturally had to consider Yao Lao.

The order in which the three requirements were stated reflects his ranking of their importance.

"Okay, I agree."

"It will take two or three months, or at most half a year, before I have these resources delivered," Gu Yuan said.

Xiao Yan nodded, knowing that this wouldn't take long, since none of the resources he needed were cheap.

He even felt that giving away the Ancient Jade was more than worth it.

After all, this is only one-eighth of the Ancient Jade. Before it is fully collected, the Ancient Jade is not much different from a stone.

If this item weren't used to trade with the Ancient Clan, no other power could obtain so many resources in return.

Of course, the most important thing is that Xiao Xun'er exists as a bridge.

Otherwise, even Ancient Clan with a very upright public image might still commit murder to steal jade and then shift the blame to the Soul Clan.

Thinking of this, Xiao Yan didn't forget to mention something of utmost importance.

He looked at Gu Yuan, his expression more serious and earnest than ever before. "Uncle, I hope you will keep this fragment of Ancient Jade close to your body."
