Chapter 628

The five Great Ancestors appeared one after another, and the old man naturally followed. Compared to the last time, they were more cautious and even respectful.

When Zi Chen entered the ancient battlefield, he was only in the middle stage of the Zephyr Realm. Naturally, he could not kill an ancient beast that surpassed the Dan Origin Stage. Since he had the blood essence of an ancient beast of this level, it could only have been killed by the old man.

In order to get a better understanding of the old man's combat power, the five of them went back to find Shangguan Bingxi and asked about the situation.

Shangguan Bingxi did not hide anything and told them the truth.

However, the information they got from Shangguan Bingxi was completely different from Zi Chen's. Shangguan Bingxi clearly said that the old man was fighting eight people of the same level, and that the old man fought with his life to kill two of them.

In the end, the battle had to stop because of the changes in heaven and earth.

Although Shangguan Bingxi said that the old man was also seriously injured, it did not stop them from trembling.

Therefore, when they came today, they were cautious and respectful. They also knew that Zi Chen had more than a hundred drops of blood essence, and they all hoped to exchange for more through normal means.

"Seniors, you've brought the materials so quickly." Zi Chen was very surprised.

"After we went back, we searched through all the treasuries. The amount of materials used for formations is not large, so we found them quickly."

"Yes, we only found a batch and exchanged for some blood essence first. As for the other materials, we are in the process of preparing them."

The few of them spoke.

Zi Chen nodded his head, understanding their intentions. Evidently, they were all afraid that the other party would have already exchanged the essence blood. Therefore, each of them had brought a batch to exchange first. Moreover, the reason why they had such materials in their treasure trove was because there were no outstanding array masters in their clans. Therefore, once they obtained such materials, they would store them away.

"Little friend Zi Chen, this is the list of materials we have. See how much blood essence you can exchange for." The few of them took out the list.

These were the materials that Zi Chen had requested. The quantity and weight were written clearly. In addition, at the end of all the materials, the price of Primordial Stones was clearly marked.

These array formation materials were all useful to Zi Chen, and they were of great use to him. Naturally, he wanted to exchange them all. However, when it came to the exchange, he was troubled. He didn't know how many high-grade primordial stones a drop of ancient beast essence blood could be exchanged for.

"Seniors, has there ever been an auction of ancient beast blood essence in the history of Chaos City?" Zi Chen asked.

The few of them looked at each other and shook their heads. No one would complain about having too many of such items. No one would take them out to auction. Moreover, in the various auction houses, other than a Buddhist scripture, no other items from the ancient battlefield had been auctioned.

"Seniors, do you know how much this drop of blood essence is worth?" Zi Chen asked again.

When these people heard this, they all wanted to say that this thing was priceless, that it wouldn't be sold no matter how many primordial stones were offered. It was truly a priceless item. However, as buyers, they naturally wouldn't say that. Moreover, they all pretended to be ignorant and asked, "Little friend, how much is it worth?"

Zi Chen was immediately filled with disdain. If I wanted to know the price, would I need to ask you?

However, looking at the five of them, it was obvious that they didn't intend to offer a price. Hence, after hesitating for a moment, Zi Chen tried to say a price. "How about 05 million?"

05 million was naturally 05 million high-grade primordial stones. In other words, this drop of ancient beast blood essence was equivalent to 67 supreme elixirs, which was equivalent to Zi Chen's annual expenditure of hiring 055 Dan Origin Stage experts at a sky-high price.

This was an extremely terrifying number.

Zi Chen thought that they would hesitate when they heard this, but unexpectedly, they didn't show any expression. They just nodded and said, "Little friend, as long as you think it's good."

When they said that, Zi Chen felt a little embarrassed. He originally hoped that they would bargain and wanted to lower the price. However, since they didn't say anything, Zi Chen couldn't continue to ask. Hence, he exchanged at 05 million for one drop.

However, Zi Chen didn't know that when the four people opposite him heard this, they were greatly relieved. At the same time, they secretly despised Zi Chen in their hearts. As expected of a barbarian who hadn't seen much of the world. One had to know that they had estimated that the price would be at least 655 million high-grade primordial stones.

This was because this thing couldn't be measured in primordial stones. Even if it was 655 million, they would still be willing to pay. Moreover, they believed that if they took this blood essence to other regions with a strong foundation to sell, the value of this thing would only be higher.

Moreover, Zi Chen didn't ask for primordial liquid, only primordial stones. This made them extremely happy because once one's strength reached a certain level, primordial stones were useless. Only primordial liquid was always useful.

However, Zi Chen was a barbarian. The most expensive thing he had ever bought in his life was supreme elixirs. A drop of blood essence was equivalent to a dozen supreme elixirs, so he was content.

Hence, they, who originally thought that they would only be able to exchange for a few drops of blood essence, exchanged more than half of it this time.

Among them, only the Shangguan Clan had managed to exchange for nine drops. The other clans had also managed to exchange for eight drops. The items that they had brought were all about the same. The reason why the Shangguan Clan had managed to obtain an extra drop was because the Shangguan Clan Old Ancestor had mentioned Shangguan Yue 'er.

Moreover, he invited Zi Chen to the Shangguan Clan as a guest, saying that Yue 'er hadn't seen him for a long time and always missed him.

This was a show of goodwill, so Zi Chen gave him an extra drop. This action made the four people envious.

Then, Zi Chen took out the blood essence. The terrifying power contained in it made the five people's eyes turn fervent.

Just by this aura, they knew that the blood essence was genuine. It was indeed the blood essence of an ancient beast that surpassed the level of Dan Yuan. It wasn't blood essence refined from ordinary blood.

After receiving the blood essence, they seemed to be eager to refine it. They didn't even want to stay a moment longer, so they bid farewell and left.

Of course, Zi Chen didn't want them to stay too long. He also had many things to do. After sending the five people away, he called the others and took the five Spirit Rings, heading towards the location of the pavilion.

However, when they arrived again, Zi Chen and the others saw that there were many demonic beasts below them. Moreover, they saw the silhouettes of humans dozens of miles away.

The spiritual energy here was extremely dense. These demonic beasts had been cultivating here. As for the humans, they were True Energy Boundary miners. They felt that there was something here and wanted to extract it.

"Tell the Yu Kong Clan to leave. They are not allowed to bring anyone here in the future." He said lightly again.

These miners were naturally Zi Chen's men, so Wang Shan went to find the leader of the Yu Kong Clan to talk to him.

"As for these demonic beasts, let them leave first. After we open the pavilion, they can come back if they want." Zi Chen thought for a while and finally gave them a way out.

Monk was the best at showing off, so he went to warn the demonic beasts. Moreover, there were actually flying demonic beasts here, which was really surprising.

This area spanned more than a hundred square kilometers and had dozens of spirit veins. The mountain range was connected, and there was a spirit vein at the bottom of almost every mountain peak. Next, the spirit lock would be Elder Mo's job.

He wanted to use these array materials to lock the Spirit Veins below. This was a real technical job. In the group, other than Lv Peng, no one else could help.

Moreover, Elder Hiroshi wanted to teach Lv Peng the art of arrays. Giving pointers was the main point, and using hands was secondary. Therefore, this huge project was left to Lv Peng to complete.

"The Spirit Lock Array is not much different from the Soul Lock Array. One locks one's soul consciousness, and the other locks the Spirit Veins. You must first rely on your senses to find the source of the Spirit Veins, and the Spirit Lock locks the source." Elder Hiroshi taught.

Lv Peng kept nodding, then released his spiritual sense to sense carefully.

Then, he slowly walked from the peak to the foot of the mountain and stopped beside an inconspicuous puddle.

"Elder Hiroshi, I feel that the source of the Spirit Veins is under this puddle." Lv Peng opened his eyes and said. He had been sensing with his eyes closed all this time.

"Not bad, your senses are getting sharper. Next is to lock the Spirit Veins here." Elder Hiroshi nodded.

Lv Peng took out a lot of materials from his spiritual ring, then started to arrange them according to the Spirit Lock Array. During this time, he had to sense the size of the Spirit Veins and the range of the array. After working for two hours, Lv Peng finally finished with his forehead full of sweat.

Just as he was waiting to receive Elder Mo's praise, Elder Mo shook his head and said, "The Spirit Lock Technique only allows you to lock the spirit vein, but it doesn't allow you to lock it completely. It has the same effect as the Divine Prohibition Soul Lock, but they are two completely different techniques. The Divine Prohibition Soul Lock locks it completely, and when it's used, it can be released all at once. However, the Spirit Lock Technique only locks it, and it doesn't lock it completely. There must be space for movement. Moreover, this is a vast spirit vein, not a human soul. If you lock it completely, when the spirit vein expands to its limit and breaks through the Spirit Lock Formation, it will bring destruction."

Cold sweat appeared on Lv Peng's face when he heard this. Once the Spirit Veins self-destruct, the power would be unimaginable. If he used this array to build a pavilion, then before other forces could attack, this place would be turned into nothingness after the array was broken.

Therefore, Lv Peng tried again, but Elder Hiroshi did not tell him what to do. He just kept on giving him pointers and letting him figure it out himself.

Lv Peng repeated this process over and over again for two days before he finally managed to lock onto the smallest branch of the spirit vein.

Wiping the sweat off his forehead, Lv Peng said, "Elder Hiroshi, isn't this too slow?"

Elder Hiroshi shook his head and said, "It's fine."

"But at this speed, it will take at least a few years to lock all the Spirit Veins," Lv Peng said.

"Practice makes perfect." Elder Hiroshi smiled.

While Elder Hiroshi was leading Lv Peng in the Spirit Lock Array, Zi Chen and the rest were not idling. They walked around a hundred miles until they memorized every mountain, stone, grass, and tree. They also made corresponding marks for what they wanted to build on the mountain according to their imagination.

Some marks ran through the middle of the mountain, meaning to flatten it, leaving only half of it. Some marks were only on the peak, meaning to simply decorate the peak.

During this time, Zi Chen and the rest were constantly communicating. Of course, the loudest ones were Wang Shan and Tyrant.

"This will be the main pavilion in the future."

Wang Qiong pointed at the mountain peak that was thousands of meters high.
