Chapter 100

Chu Jianqiu, although possessing the Chaos Supreme Tower, a vast spatial magical artifact, could not reveal its existence. To conceal the presence of the Chaos Supreme Tower, Chu Jianqiu needed to have other spatial magical artifacts; otherwise, his peculiar behavior would eventually arouse suspicion over time.

This large piece of Sumeru stone could be used to forge several spatial magical artifacts.

As for the spatial runes required to refine spatial magical artifacts, the most precious and critical part, it was the least of Chu Jianqiu's concerns.

Inside the Chaos Supreme Tower, almost all the runes in the world were included. However, the runes involving space and time were the most mysterious and unpredictable. Even with Chu Jianqiu's insight, comprehending these runes was somewhat challenging.

However, Chu Jianqiu was not worried about failing to comprehend these runes. As his understanding of the art of rune arrays deepened, he would eventually grasp them thoroughly.

He possessed the inheritance of the Ten Thousand Dao Source Flow Rune Array. Under the daily cleansing of his divine soul by the Chaos Supreme Tower, his divine soul and insight would gradually grow. Comprehending those spatial runes was merely a matter of time.

Chu Jianqiu also noticed a problem: the Sumeru stone had appeared out of nowhere in Xue Liyan's hand. Chu Jianqiu, who possessed the Chaos Supreme Tower, was very familiar with such situations. This was clearly a sign of the use of a spatial magical artifact.

Chu Jianqiu glanced at Xue Liyan. This guy was quite deep, even possessing a spatial magical artifact. It seemed that the opportunities he gained in the Eastern Wasteland Secret Realm were not simple.

Xue Liyan raised his thumb and said, "Brother Tianshui indeed has a keen eye, recognizing this as Sumeru stone at first glance!"

Chu Jianqiu smiled and said, "Senior Brother Xue wouldn't take out such a valuable item just to exchange for a few spirit talismans, right?"

Sumeru stone, an extremely rare material, was valuable even if there were few alchemists in the entire Great Gan Dynasty who knew how to refine spatial magical artifacts. No one would disdain such a material. If it were auctioned, it would easily fetch a sky-high price.

Even if his spirit talismans were precious, they were still second-grade spirit talismans and could not compare to such an extremely rare material. If he were to exchange all the spirit talismans he currently had, he might barely be able to obtain this piece of Sumeru stone.

However, for an individual, once one had too many spirit talismans, they would not be as valuable, as one could not possibly use so many in any situation.

Given Xue Liyan's shrewdness, he would clearly not make such a losing deal.

Xue Liyan scratched his head awkwardly, feeling embarrassed that his intentions had been revealed so easily.

After hesitating for a while, Xue Liyan waved his hand, and over ten large bags suddenly appeared on the ground. As soon as these bags appeared, the surrounding space was immediately filled with a dense and eerie blood aura. Under the erosion of this dense blood aura, the surrounding plants withered visibly.

Seeing this, Chu Jianqiu's heart immediately tightened. Even though he had never seen the Blood Demon Liquid, he knew that these bags contained it. This aura was too familiar to him.

Chu Jianqiu had deeply felt this toxic aura from his master Cui Yayun. However, the Blood Demon Poison that Cui Yayun had been poisoned with was countless times purer and more toxic than the Blood Demon Liquid.

Chu Jianqiu glanced at the Blood Demon Liquid on the ground.

These over ten bags of Blood Demon Liquid weighed at least a hundred pounds. If exchanged according to the rewards issued by the Mystic Sword Sect, one pound of Blood Demon Liquid could be exchanged for a thousand contribution points. Therefore, just the Blood Demon Liquid on the ground was enough to exchange for over a hundred thousand contribution points, an extremely astonishing wealth.

The Blood Demon Liquid was distributed in various deep mountains and marshes in the New Ze Secret Realm. Only the Blood Demon Sect had the means to detect it. The disciples of the Mystic Sword Sect could not know in advance where the Blood Demon Liquid was located, so they had to seize it from the disciples of the Blood Demon Sect.

This guy had so much Blood Demon Liquid, and it was no wonder that the blood-robed martial artists hated them so much.

However, Chu Jianqiu still underestimated the ability of these two to cause trouble. After taking out the over ten bags of Blood Demon Liquid, Xue Liyan flipped his hand, and a bead emitting a dense blood-red light appeared in his hand.

The blood aura emitted by this blood-red bead was at least ten times stronger than that of the Blood Demon Liquid.

Seeing the blood-red bead, Chu Jianqiu's pupils involuntarily contracted. He could not help but admire their ability to cause trouble, as they had managed to obtain such a thing.

This blood-red bead was the Blood Demon Essence Pearl, the essence of the Blood Demon Liquid, with a toxicity and effect hundreds of times stronger than the Blood Demon Liquid.

To refine the Blood Demon Poison, which could threaten a Core Formation Realm expert, at least a thousand pounds of Blood Demon Liquid were needed, and there was a high probability of failure.

However, if the Blood Demon Essence Pearl were used, only ten beads would be enough to refine the Blood Demon Poison that could threaten a Core Formation Realm expert.

However, obtaining the Blood Demon Essence Pearl was extremely difficult. Even the disciples of the Blood Demon Sect had to pay a huge price to obtain it.

In this mission, the Mystic Sword Sect offered a reward of 150,000 contribution points for obtaining a Blood Demon Essence Pearl, second only to the reward for obtaining the Tianji Black Dragon Grass.

As long as one obtained more than three, they could receive the same reward as the Tianji Black Dragon Grass, not only obtaining a large number of contribution points but also becoming a direct disciple of the Mystic Sword Sect's seven peaks.

Xue Liyan, having seized this from the disciples of the Blood Demon Sect, was hated to the bone by the blood-robed martial artists. He had likely become a thorn in the side of the Blood Demon Sect, a rat that everyone wanted to beat.

"Senior Brother Xue must have been pursued by those blood-robed martial artists more than once, right?" Chu Jianqiu glanced at Xue Liyan and said.

Xue Liyan smiled sheepishly and said, "For some reason, the disciples of the Blood Demon Sect have a particular fondness for us two, always chasing us relentlessly."

Chu Jianqiu was speechless. These two were quite bold, daring to do such things against the disciples of the Blood Demon Sect despite their weak strength.

"What are your plans, Senior Brother Xue?" Chu Jianqiu pointed at the Sumeru stone in Xue Liyan's hand and asked.

Seeing that the topic had turned serious, Xue Liyan immediately put away his smile and said solemnly, "I won't hide anything from Brother Chu. We two have thoroughly provoked the disciples of the Blood Demon Sect and are now being chased around."

Since the topic had turned serious, he no longer called Chu Jianqiu "Brother Tianshui." After all, this was Chu Jianqiu's pseudonym at the time. While it could be used to build a relationship, when discussing serious matters, it was natural to call Chu Jianqiu by his real name, showing sincerity.

Chu Jianqiu nodded and said, "I can see that!"
