Primordial Beast King's Precious Blood!

When his fingers touched the bracelet, Taishu Yun noticed a peculiar stone beside it. It was about the size of two adult fists, pitch-black, and looked like an ordinary rock one could find anywhere by the roadside.

For some reason, when Taishu Yun saw this stone, he had a strange feeling, as though it was no ordinary rock.

Noticing that Taishu Yun had suddenly gone still, Taishu Jing followed his gaze and found him staring blankly at a dark stone.

Ding!

Taishu Jing's eyes lit up. Could this be something good? The protagonist's great fortune had begun to take effect.

"Um, Uncle, I rather like that stone. How about giving it to me?" Taishu Jing shamelessly asked Middle-aged Uncle.

He had wanted to refuse, but seeing Taishu Jing's adorably innocent face, Middle-aged Uncle still nodded. "Sure. I picked this stone up casually in the Cloud Dream Mountains anyway. It isn't anything valuable, so you can have it."

"Thanks, Uncle. You're a good man. Brother, take that stone," Taishu Jing said with a grin, handing Middle-aged Uncle a good-person card.

Somewhat surprised by his little brother's sharpness, Taishu Yun had merely stared at the stone for a couple more moments, yet his little brother had noticed. He had originally intended to buy it as well, but this worked out nicely—they got it without spending a thing.

"Xi Yue, here." Taishu Yun handed the bracelet to Lan Xiyue and smiled shyly.

Accepting Taishu Yun's bracelet, Lan Xiyue revealed a sweet smile. "Thank you, Brother Yun."

"You're welcome. You're my dearest little sister Xi Yue. It's only right, only right."

Before Taishu Yun could speak, Taishu Jing raised his voice and started making mischief.

"Hahahaha!"

Lan Qiao, standing beside them, was already laughing himself breathless. Taishu Jing's tone was simply too hilarious.

"Jing!"

Taishu Yun shot him a red-faced glare, then looked at Lan Xiyue, stammering without knowing what to say.

After being teased by Taishu Jing, Lan Xiyue also blushed a little and did not dare look at Taishu Yun.

"Ahem, alright, I've had my fill of dog food. Lan Qiao, come walk up front with me," Taishu Jing called out, and Lan Qiao eagerly scampered after him.

Taking the stone from Taishu Yun, he examined it carefully as they walked. After looking at it for quite some time, he truly could not see anything special about it.

"Jing, isn't this just a rock?" Lan Qiao asked, puzzled to see him constantly studying it.

"If my brother took a fancy to it, then it isn't an ordinary rock, though I don't understand why either," Taishu Jing said. Unable to see through its mystery, he put the stone into a bag.

"By the way, Lan Qiao, haven't you started cultivating yet?"

Lan Qiao scratched his head. "Mm, not yet."

Taishu Jing glanced at him. "It's better to start cultivating early. My brother and I have both begun cultivating. Beating those little brats like Wang Jie was ridiculously easy."

"Uh..." Lan Qiao did not know what to criticize first. You were the youngest one, alright? Shouldn't you be the little brat?

Just then, a squad of guards walked toward them.

"Young Master Lan Qiao, are you and the young lady alright?" The lead guard, Lan Xuefeng, stepped forward.

While patrolling the streets, he had heard that his young master and young lady had gotten into a conflict with someone—the Shen Family's young lady and the Wang Family's young master, no less. Worried that they might suffer a loss, Lan Xuefeng had hurried over with his men.

Lan Qiao shook his head to indicate that he was fine.

"With my brother here, what could possibly happen?" Taishu Jing said boastfully.

Having been choked by that remark, Lan Xuefeng pretended not to hear it. This young master of the Taishu Family had been extremely strange since childhood. Sometimes he acted very mature, while at other times he was like a mischievous little devil, impossible to figure out.

"Uncle Xuefeng, why have you come?"

Lan Xiyue and Taishu Yun had been chatting and laughing behind them. Seeing Lan Xuefeng arrive with his men, she stepped forward and asked.

"I was worried that you might suffer a loss, so I came over. Looks like there was no need for us after all, haha."

Glancing at the Taishu Yun brothers, Lan Xuefeng thought it over and understood what had happened.

"Thank you for your concern, Uncle Xuefeng. With Brother Yun and Jing helping us, everything was fine," Lan Xiyue said with a smile.

Sure enough, it was these two brothers again. He had heard before that the little girl from the Shen Family and the boy from the Wang Family had both been messed with by these two several times. It seemed to be true.

"Thank you, Young Master Yun and Young Master Jing, for coming to our aid," Lan Xuefeng said gratefully.

Taishu Yun politely returned the salute. "Uncle Xuefeng, there is no need to be so courteous. The Lan Family and the Taishu Family have been family friends for generations. Since Xi Yue encountered trouble, I could not simply stand by and watch."

What a sensible lad!

Lan Xuefeng silently praised him, unable to help viewing Taishu Yun more highly. To speak such words showed that his character was excellent. Worthy indeed of being the Taishu Family's eldest young master.

"Don't thank me. It was all my brother's kingly aura that scared those weaklings away. A hero saving a beauty—what a tale to be remembered for ages! If you ask me, you should hurry up and marry your young lady to my brother," Taishu Jing said with a wave of his hand, never resting until his words shocked everyone.

The moment he said this, Lan Xuefeng and the others were dumbfounded. Hearing such words pop out of the mouth of a little brat not even six years old was rather interesting.

A hero saving a beauty, a tale to be remembered for ages!

There was nothing wrong with how that sounded, but they were all still children. How did you know so much?

"Ahem, right. Young Master, Young Lady, the Master instructed me to bring you back," Lan Xuefeng said, changing the subject.

Lan Xiyue nodded, waved goodbye to Taishu Yun, called Lan Qiao over, and then left with Lan Xuefeng.

"Come over to play sometime!" Taishu Jing waved hard.

Watching Lan Xiyue and the others disappear into the distance, Taishu Yun stood there lost in thought for a long while.

Catching sight of his elder brother's expression, Taishu Jing grinned. Stubborn as a dead duck—he knew his brother liked this girl Lan Xiyue. He still claimed they were only friends. She should be his girlfriend instead!

"Brother, your drool is dripping."

"Hm?" Taishu Yun instinctively raised a hand to wipe his mouth, only to find there was nothing there.

Seeing Taishu Jing's bright smile beside him, Taishu Yun knew he had been tricked. He coughed. "Jing, let's head back too."

The two brothers returned home and entered the courtyard.

Taishu Jing took out the stone. "Brother, do you feel anything about this stone?"

Taishu Yun stared at it for a long time, then scratched his head. "I just feel that this stone is not simple. I can't say anything else."

Seeing that Taishu Yun could not make heads or tails of it either, Taishu Jing thought for a moment, raised the stone above his head, and violently smashed it onto the ground.

Crack!

The edge of the stone cracked apart, and some fragments fell away. They were all black layers of stone skin.

"Jing, you gave me a fright," Taishu Yun said when he saw his little brother's action.

"Hehe, I had a flash of inspiration in a moment of urgency. See, Brother? It really isn't simple," Taishu Jing said with a carefree grin.

He picked up the stone. After the stone skin fell away, a different shade of red was exposed within.

It resembled red crystal, translucent in the light. Looking closer, there was a mass of deep-red substance within. Red clouds flickered inside it, divine radiance surged, and it looked like a living liquid.

"It's actually still warm," Taishu Yun said in surprise after touching it.

No matter how Taishu Jing considered it, this red substance seemed somewhat like Fierce Beast Treasure Blood. Waves of rosy radiance shone from it, while strange divine radiance flowed within. No matter how he looked at it, it was extraordinarily remarkable.

"System Master, may I ask if this is Fierce Beast Treasure Blood?" Taishu Jing asked in his mind.

After a while, System Master replied, "Congratulations, Host, for finding Primordial Beast King's Precious Blood."

Wonderful!

He knew it was something good. Taishu Jing nearly threw back his head and howled at the sky.

The Precious Blood of a Primordial Beast King was priceless beyond measure. Ordinary people would not even dare dream of it. That was a Primordial Beast King, a heaven-defying existence whose roar could shake stars from the sky. This time, they had truly stumbled upon a treasure.

"Master, which Primordial Beast King is it?" Taishu Jing pressed.

"Sky Swallowing Howl."

"Thank you for the explanation, Master." Every cell in Taishu Jing's body seemed to tremble. He had just been thinking of seeking Heavenly Materials and Earthly Treasures to awaken his Divine Body, and now he had found the Precious Blood of the Primordial Beast King, Sky Swallowing Howl. Heaven was truly helping him. It was all thanks to his elder brother's Protagonist Halo.

"Brother, your luck is heaven-defying. This is Beast King's Precious Blood," Taishu Jing said excitedly as he looked at Taishu Yun.

Taishu Yun froze for a moment. "How do you know, Jing?"

"I calculated it with a pinch of my fingers," Taishu Jing casually made up.

Taishu Yun did not believe him, but he did not think too deeply about it. If this truly was Beast King's Precious Blood, then they had truly struck it rich. The words Beast King carried no small weight. To those in the Spirit Vein Realm, a Beast King was more towering than an ant.

In the central region of the Cloud Dream Mountain Range, many Beast Kings lay dormant. It was a forbidden land that ordinary cultivators did not dare approach.

Although Taishu Yun already thought highly of this Beast King's Precious Blood, he had never imagined that it was not merely Beast King's Precious Blood, but the Precious Blood of a Primordial Beast King, surpassing ordinary Beast King's Precious Blood by an unknown extent.

"Brother, let's extract the Precious Blood," Taishu Jing said impatiently.

"Alright."

The two brothers found a dagger and slowly shaved away the crystal stone encasing the Precious Blood bit by bit. It took them half an hour before they had more or less extracted the mass of Precious Blood.
