Six Paths Nightmare Palace

Chapter 12 Ancient Beast Eggs
Zhong Chen stood in a building similar to a shop, looking at a dozen small bottles of different colors and heights on the counter in front of him, frowning slightly.

This place is in a valley not far from Zhong's house. It is the only semi-open market in the vicinity where you can buy cultivation resources as long as you have Lingyu.

Of course, it is said that the owner of this place is also a powerful Jindan elder of the Zhong family, so the Zhong family also turns a blind eye to this market.

Zhong Chen is also a frequent visitor here, but after checking the contents of these bottles, he shook his head and asked a gray-clothed man behind the counter, "The blood of the monsters you have here is really all here. ?"

"Fellow Daoist, this is not the first time for you to buy things from me. If there are other monster beast blood essences, how could I not take them out to earn money. Look, this bottle of bloodthirsty wolf blood essence was yesterday. I just sent it, it is very fresh, and it is the best material for refining bloodthirsty pills. Although this bottle of fire-winged tiger blood essence has been stored for some time, it is also an excellent raw material that is extremely rare to find." The gray-clothed man He kept recommending with a smile.

"Hmph, you actually accept thirty spirit jade for this bottle of bloodthirsty wolf blood essence, and the fire-winged tiger is even more outrageous. You even ask for eighty spirit jade. Do you take me as a scapegoat?" Zhong Chen rolled his eyes, not at all. Buying said.

"How can the price of these things be the same as before? The Nightmare Palace is about to open. These are excellent materials for refining high-grade medicinal pills, and the supply has always been in short supply. If you don't buy them now, wait for two more days, I'm afraid The price will go up a bit." The man in gray looked nonchalant.

"Forget it, these things contain insufficient energy and blood, and they are not suitable for me." Zhong thought for a while, then shook his head.

"Oh, what fellow Daoists need is the blood of a monster with high qi and blood power? In this case, if the price is not too high, I really have some things with more amazing qi and blood power, but most of them cannot be identified. I have to go back and extract the blood essence myself, and I cannot return it afterwards." The man in gray rolled his eyes and said with a smile on his face.

"Oh, there is such a thing, you take it out and show it to me." Zhong Chen heard the words and became a little interested.

The man in gray said, "Wait a moment," and immediately turned around and went to the shelf for a while. After a while, he took out three things.

Zhong Chen took a closer look and saw that it was a yellow branch, a silver bone half the thickness of an arm, and a round gray stone.

"Is this the thing you're talking about with astonishing qi and blood?" Zhong Chen squinted at the man in gray with disdain on his face.

The man in gray unhurriedly took out another small book from his body, and after reading it carefully, he nodded affirmatively and said, "Yes, these three things."

"Every time at night, this branch will have blood energy ten feet high. It is believed that it has been soaked in the blood of some powerful monster. It is very magical."

"And this unknown bone is extremely tough. It should be the remains of some kind of powerful monster. Even swords and instruments cannot easily leave traces on it. Through special means to see through it, I found that there are still half of the bone marrow containing blood essence."

"In addition, this stone-like thing has a bigger origin. It was found by a Taoist friend in an ancient cave mansion. It is a petrified egg of an ancient monster. It's just that this dead egg is not known by what kind of monster. Stay, although there is no vitality in it, the power of qi and blood contained in it is still very objective, and it should also meet your requirements."

Zhong Chen listened to his friend's introduction, went up to pick up the things one by one, and checked them with the power of divine sense.

The first two things were fine. Although Zhong Chen couldn't see much, he did find that the power of qi and blood above was very strong, and it was enough to condense the bloodline imprint.

But when he picked up the so-called monster egg, his head "boomed", an astonishing breath came from the depths of his mind, and his consciousness was in a trance, and he vaguely saw some vague and strange The picture seems to be a white giant peak, and it seems to be a world of ice and snow.

"What is this!" Zhong Chen was startled, and before he had time to react, the image in his consciousness disappeared in an instant, and the whole person woke up again, with a great shock in his heart.

"Fellow Daoist Shen, are you alright?" The man in gray next to him blinked and asked with some doubts.

"The power of qi and blood contained in these things is indeed amazing, but with the means of expensive shops, it is impossible to identify the origin of these three things. I am afraid that few people dare to use the blood essence extracted, and you can talk about their prices. Right?" Zhong Shen calmed down, re-sensed the power of qi and blood in the thing in his hand, and said calmly.

"If Daoyou Shen really likes it, the price is easy to talk about." The man in gray heard the words, his face showed a bit of philistine treacherous color.

……

Half an hour later, in the back hall of the building.

The man in gray was standing in front of a huge bronze mirror, nodding at a vague figure inside and saying, "Master, I sold the pile of petrified monster eggs that you collected last time at a high price. Yes. , Everyone thinks that the power of blood and energy of these monster eggs is amazing, and it will definitely be worth buying back. I'm going to vomit blood."

"The greatest ability of this stone dove is that it has a lot of blood in the body. It lays hundreds of eggs at a time. It is born more and faster. The only innate supernatural power can only cover the surface of the body with a thin layer of stone clothing. It has been around since ancient times. It's just food for other monsters. But we're not lying, these petrified eggs are indeed the eggs of ancient monsters, and they are indeed left over from ancient times."

When the figure on the bronze mirror nodded and disappeared, the man in gray stood up straight, smiled and found another round "stone" with blood and energy from the corner, and walked out of the back hall humming an unknown tune.

******************
"Young Master, you're back, what good things can you buy this time?" When Zhong Shen returned to his residence with a full load, Shi Wu, who had been waiting there for a long time, greeted him outside with a smile.

"Hmph, while I'm away, you've been cultivating well, won't you be lazy again?" Zhong Chen looked at the book boy a few times, but asked angrily.

"How could it be, Young Master, I didn't know how much I practiced when you weren't around." Shutong shrank his neck when he heard the words, and looked a little guilty.

"You, my aptitude is actually higher than mine, but the quality is too bad. After following me for a few years, I haven't built a foundation yet. I originally wanted to train a good helper, looking at your current situation. , you don't need to count on it." Zhong Chen said helplessly.

"Young master, it's not because I don't work hard, it's just that when I meditate and practice, I can't help falling asleep. It's really not the material for practice." Shutong also replied with aggrieved.

"Forget it, I'm going to practice a spell in the secret room in the past few days. You close the door. Before you come out, don't disturb me with anything." Zhong Chen shook his head and ordered to come down.

"Young master, rest assured, Shiwu will never let others disturb your cultivation." Shutong immediately agreed with a solemn expression upon hearing this.

Zhong Shen nodded, and immediately walked into his residence—a compound of several connected houses.

When he walked to the backmost house, which was completely made of boulders, he immediately closed the unusually heavy stone door, then sat down cross-legged on a yellow futon familiarly, and took out a few things from his body and placed them on the in front of him.

A white jade box, a pale yellow copper bell, a pale blue dagger, two bottles of medicinal herbs, and three talismans of different colors.

These things are all he has gained from going out this time, and they have also used up all the spiritual jade he has accumulated in the past few years.

But having said that, if he fell into the Nightmare Palace, no matter how much spiritual jade he had in his body, it would be of no use.

Thinking like this, Zhong Chen raised his hand and grabbed it, and the yellow copper bell flew into his hand silently.

Jueyin Bell is not only capable of both offense and defense, but also has the ability to resist illusions. It is the most cost-effective magic weapon among these items. If it hadn't been for him and the owner of the shop, it would have been impossible to buy it at such a low price. this thing.

Zhong Chen thought about it like this, and when Fa Jue urged, the mana in his body rushed towards the object in his hand, and his wrist shook slightly at the same time.

"Clang clang clang."

A crisp bell sound came, and an invisible power of sound waves rippled out immediately, filling the entire stone house, and with Zhong Shen as the center, a light yellow light curtain emerged.
