[A red envelope from Shi Hao]
Although the two brothers kept saying they wanted this and that, after the joke, Shi Hao still gave Lin Yu some of the beast's essence blood.
Lin Yu wouldn't let Shi Hao suffer a loss, so he transferred two-fifths of the mall points.
Anyway, Shi Hao doesn't lack points. He can easily catch a ferocious beast and sell it to the Chat Group for hundreds or thousands of points.
Not to mention those with the bloodline of ancient species, a single one can cost hundreds of thousands.
Save where you should and spend where you should – that's Lin Yu's current philosophy.
Thinking this, ten drops of blood appeared in Lin Yu's hand. They were all essence blood with a trace of the bloodline of the ancient remnant species, and one of them was pure essence blood of the ancient remnant species.
Little Shi Hao didn't cut corners; he even sent him the ancient remnant species.
Occasionally, a small, ferocious beast's afterimage would appear on these blood essences, roaring at Lin Yu.
"He was killed because he couldn't beat him in life, but he's still so arrogant after death!" Lin Yu looked at the drop of ancient remnant blood, and it was the one that was making the loudest noise. He wished he could rush up and tear it to pieces.
Lin Yu selected the most domineering drops of essence blood. If he gave these to Wen Cai and Qiu Sheng, they would probably be devoured by the remnant soul of the ferocious beast before they could even absorb them.
He left behind three drops of relatively gentle aura. These three ferocious beasts were probably not so fierce in life, and their resentment after death was not strong, making them suitable for the two senior brothers to absorb and refine.
Lin Yu carefully put away the few drops of domineering essence blood, and placed the three drops of gentle essence blood suitable for his two senior brothers separately in a jade bottle, waiting for them to return in the evening.
However, when they return, this essence blood will need to be specially processed, as Shi Hao's world ultimately has a different cultivation system than this one.
If it were completely authentic, Lin Yu feared his senior brothers would cultivate it into a perfect system.
If the laws within these essences are then inscribed into the body, there will be a conflict.
Therefore, Lin Yu carefully used his own Primordial Spirit to remove the "impurities," leaving only the energy in his blood. He also thoughtfully left behind the "remnant souls of ferocious beasts."
Nightscape, Wen Cai and Qiu Sheng sang their way back to the mortuary.
"Qiu Sheng, why are we leaving so early?"
"If you keep looking at that, you won't finish stacking those gold ingots even by tomorrow night!" Qiu Sheng thought about the mission even while having fun.
Wen Cai then realized that he really needed to go back quickly, otherwise the mission would not be completed.
"Hurry up," Qiu Sheng said, pulling Wen Cai open the door and into the mourning hall.
As soon as they entered, they saw Lin Yu already sitting inside.
Wen Cai and Qiu Sheng were both taken aback to see their junior brother inside.
"Junior brother, what are you doing here?"
At this time, Lin Yu was usually cultivating, so his appearance here was quite unusual, which made Qiu Sheng a little curious.
"It's nothing. You still had some gold ingots to fold, so I came to check. It's Tathagata early; you just happened to be back." Lin Yu said casually, while playing with the jade bottle in his hand.
"I thought you were here to help your senior brother, but what a disappointment." Qiu Sheng glared at Lin Yu, who seemed to be there to supervise him, and sat down on the ground listlessly to start folding paper ingots.
Wen Cai sighed and picked up the gold foil paper, starting to fold it as well.
The only sound in the mourning hall for a moment was the rustling of papers being turned over.
Lin Yu looked at them, a slight smile playing on his lips, and placed the jade bottle in his hand on the offering table beside him, making a crisp sound.
"By the way, Senior Brother, why didn't you ask the spirit children for help? That's not like you." Lin Yu walked over and casually picked up a piece of gold foil and folded it up.
Qiu Sheng glanced at the gold foil in Lin Yu's hand and said irritably, "I want to too! Asking the spirit child for help requires a small token of appreciation, right? Wen Cai and I have already spent a year's savings; we don't have any money left for bribes."
Wen Cai nodded repeatedly, his face full of helplessness.
Upon hearing this, Lin Yu paused in his work, then smiled and said, "Why don't you just owe me? You can pay me next time."
Qiu Sheng glanced back at the spirit children on the offering table, especially the three in black. "Let's forget about them. They're pitiful enough already. If they're exploited any further, my conscience won't allow it."
"Yes, yes," Wen Cai nodded repeatedly, deeply agreeing.
Lin Yu looked at them, a slight thought stirring in his heart, and said nothing more, but joined in stacking the gold ingots himself.
When the gold ingots were about halfway folded, Lin Yu put down the gold foil paper in his hand. "Alright, I told you to fold them, were you really planning to finish them all?"
"What am I going to do if I don't finish folding them? Heavenly Master." Wen Cai didn't even look up, continuing to work with a bitter face.
"Sigh~" Lin Yu shook his head and casually tossed out a few paper figures. They grew larger as soon as they were exposed to the wind, and became as big as ordinary people when they landed.
"Let them fold," the words had barely left his lips when the paper figures seemed to understand the instruction. They all walked to the table and skillfully picked up the gold foil paper and began folding it.
"No, junior brother, why didn't you show this skill sooner? Why are you just arguing with us for so long?" Qiu Sheng had a "you're kidding me" look on his face.
"Just a little exercise, besides, I spent some time folding with you guys." Lin Yu stretched and shrugged.
Lin Yu glanced at them, a slight thought crossing his mind, then said no more, steer the conversation back to the main topic. "Alright, let's put these aside for now."
He pointed to the jade vase on the offering table, his tone tinged with mystery. "I have something good here, far more important than stacked gold ingots."
Wen Cai and Qiu Sheng exchanged a glance, both seeing doubt in each other's eyes. Qiu Sheng walked over with some skepticism, and as soon as he opened the jade bottle, their expressions changed.
A primal, untamed aura swept over us, accompanied by a thick, viscous scent of blood.
Qiu Sheng leaned closer to the bottle opening and looked inside. There were three drops of blood lying there. If he hadn't seen it with his own eyes, just smelling the blood, he would have thought that several people had died.
Furthermore, this blood carried a certain aura of power, inspiring awe in those who beheld it.
"What... what is this?" Wen Cai's voice trembled, and he subconsciously took a step back.
Qiu Sheng's eyes were fixed on the bottle's opening, as if he could see the ferocious beast stirring within. He swallowed hard and said with difficulty, "So... so domineering power!"
Lin Yu nodded in satisfaction at their reaction. "This is the essence blood of a ferocious beast. After my selection, I chose the relatively mild-tempered kind, which is perfect for you."
Just then, the door creaked open and Uncle Nine walked in.
"What are you up to? There's such a strong smell of blood." Uncle Nine sniffed the air, his sharp gaze sweeping across the room before finally settling on the jade bottle in Lin Yu's hand.
"This is...?" Uncle Nine's tone carried a hint of surprise.
The blood here contains so much energy, could it be from some kind of monster?
Lin Yu handed over the jade bottle. "Master, you've come at the right time. I was planning to use this to help my two senior brothers temper their physical bodies."
"Where did you get this from?" Uncle Nine deduced that it wasn't from this world after just one glance.
Unless this blood was preserved from ancient times, it's impossible to find a monster that powerful nowadays.
Lin Yu nodded without denying it.
"It just so happens that my senior brothers have been cultivating diligently for over a year, and the essence of these ferocious beasts can be used to strengthen their foundation."
