Chapter 1092: A Whole New Way to Make Money
An Lin’s sense of his own blood wouldn’t go wrong.
In fact, even Xiaolan could sense a familiar aura coming from that drop of blood.
Thus, both of them were stunned to the spot. A feeling of absurdity and shock washed over them.
“The paragon treasure of the Blood Tribe that I’ve been anticipating… is actually a drop of my own blood?!” An Lin’s eyes were wide with shock as he murmured to himself.
Xu Xiaolan rubbed her brows and couldn’t help but chuckle. “Perhaps this is genuinely a paragon treasure in the eyes of the Blood Tribe cultivators?”
She was fully aware of how Cassidy, Merlin, and Tobias had been subdued by An Lin. Thus, even though she was extremely surprised, this appeared to be… completely reasonable?
An Lin was slightly disappointed. He had initially thought about stealing the most valuable auction item. Now, however, he was going to steal a drop of his own blood? What kind of joke was this?!
After careful thought, however, this all appeared to be perfectly logical and reasonable.
His blood was indeed extremely beneficial toward cultivators of the Blood Tribe. Cassidy, Merlin, and Tobias becoming Holy Disciples at the same time was the living proof of this fact.
What was Cassidy’s aim in doing this?
She—who valued his blood as highly as her own life—definitely wouldn’t give his blood away for no good reason.
A thought suddenly flashed through An Lin’s mind. “Don’t tell me… Is she helping me recruit underlings?” he gasped in surprise. “First use my blood to conquer them, then refer them to me?”
This speculation was also grounded on another basis. His blood could only be absorbed by supreme beings of the Return to Void Intermediate Stage or above, and Eliza and Simpson were both supreme beings of the Return to Void Intermediate Stage! Perhaps this wasn’t a coincidence!
An Lin could already envision Cassidy bringing these Blood Tribe cultivators before him. He could envision her pointing toward him and telling the cultivators, “This is our Holy Patriarch”. Then, looks of shock would appear on the Blood Tribe cultivators’ faces…
…
An Lin and Xu Xiaolan were completely uninterested in that drop of blood. However, the rest of the Blood Tribe cultivators had all descended into a state of frenzy. They conversed fervently, praised effusively, and gazed on longingly…
Even the Return to Void Stage cultivators Eliza and Simpson had looks of yearning on their faces.
Members of the Blood Tribe were especially sensitive to blood, and they could all sense the extraordinary nature of the drop of blood before them.
“Stop speaking… Hurry up and start the auction!” Eliza’s slender body shivered slightly, and there was a look of passionate yearning in her crimson eyes. Her pale cheeks were flushed red with excitement.
Starbucks smiled and announced, “This drop of the Holy Patriarch’s blood is extremely valuable. If a cultivator of the Blood Tribe ingests it, the effects might be even more powerful than ingesting a high-rank immortal pill! Holy Disciple Cassidy has provided her guarantee for this drop of blood. After ingesting it, one will definitely experience a sense of extreme euphoria!
“The starting price is… one million spirit stones!”
The hall instantly descended into a frenzy!
This was only a single drop of blood! The starting price for this drop of blood was even higher than that of the extremely-hard-to-capture Soul Formation Final Stage Dark Wing Tribe cultivator!
Should one say, as expected of the Holy Patriarch’s blood?
The Blood Tribe cultivators were absolutely stunned. However, they wouldn’t question this starting price.
Xu Xiaolan silently squeezed An Lin’s arm. “Your blood is so valuable.” She chuckled softly.
An Lin didn’t reply. There was a profound gleam in his eyes.
“I feel like… I’ve discovered a whole new way to make money!”
Xu Xiaolan: “…”
“You want to sell your blood?” Xu Xiaolan stared at An Lin speechlessly.
“Correct!” An Lin’s eyes sparkled in excitement. “Not only can I make money from selling blood, but I can also gain some spies… Heh, Cassidy is such a genius! I’ll give her however much Holy Patriarch blood that she wants!
“At the same time, I’ll also limit the sources of supply. After all, that which is rare is dear.
“Even crystals can be hyped into such valuable treasures. Why can’t my Holy Patriarch blood sell for exorbitant prices? Moreover, my blood genuinely has miraculous effects on the cultivators of the Blood Tribe!”
Xu Xiaolan rolled her eyes. “You’re really treating yourself as the Holy Patriarch now?”
“Only Cassidy and the others can enter the Holy Land of the Blood Patriarch anyway.” An Lin chuckled smugly. “Anything that they say goes. No one can prove that my blood isn’t the Holy Patriarch’s blood.”
Xu Xiaolan was a bit anxious. “It’ll be extremely dangerous to continue doing this. If it’s accidentally discovered by other supreme beings…”
An Lin nodded. “Caution is the parent of safety. We’ll plan this out carefully once we get back.”
…
Meanwhile, the auction for the drop of blood had already begun!
Powerful beings of the Soul Formation Pinnacle Stage also participated in the bidding.
However, all of them stopped placing bids soon after… because they didn’t have enough spirit stones!
Some sect leaders even started borrowing money from those beside them. They were hell-bent on obtaining this drop of blood no matter the price.
However, Simpson and Eliza had the greatest chances of winning the auction. As supreme beings of the Return to Void Stage, they had already prepared large amounts of capital for this auction!
The auction reached a feverish climax.
Eliza and Simpson’s eyes were bloodshot as they continually upped their bids.
An Lin couldn’t help but praise Cassidy’s wonderful decision again. By deliberately bringing two supreme beings of the Return to Void Intermediate Stage together, she could not only receive a huge amount of wealth, but she could also receive a talented underling at the same time. This was a win-win situation!
In the end, his drop of blood was won by Simpson for one million and eight hundred thousand spirit stones.
This was almost double the starting price!
Such a rich fool… No! This was the pursuit of life and dao!
“Xiaolan… get ready to strike.” An Lin chuckled.
Xu Xiaolan nodded silently and focused on the stage.
“Next, please welcome Sect Leader Simpson onto the stage to accept the Holy Leader’s blood!” Starbucks spoke animatedly toward the bustling crowd of Blood Tribe cultivators below the stage.
Right at this moment, a black shadow suddenly appeared before him!
It wasn’t Simpson. Rather, it was a complete stranger.
Starbucks’ expression suddenly changed. The speed of the person before him was far too quick. Immediately afterward, an overwhelming golden fist smashed toward him!
It’s too quick! I don’t have time to dodge!
Boom!
There was a deafening explosion.
Starbucks, the sect leader of the Bone Demon Blood Sect, was sent flying by the fist!
The attacker was none other than the Blood Tribe version of An Lin. Right now, he was already standing on the stage. Below him were thousands of dazed and shocked Blood Tribe cultivators.
“How dare you try to steal the Holy Patriarch’s blood!” Simpson, who had finally managed to purchase the blood after much difficulty, was instantly infuriated. He stood up and was just about to attack.
“Fellow Cultivator Simpson, please calm down! This blood is shrouded within an extremely powerful protective barrier. Even supreme beings of the Return to Void Final Stage will struggle to crack the barrier open!” Balck, the ancient ancestor of the Bone Demon Blood Sect, was still extremely calm at this moment. However, his aura had already shot up to a suffocating level.
It was clear that he was extremely furious.
Boom!
Another explosion rang out.
The protective barrier around the blood shattered.
An Lin’s eyes flashed with the white glow of the Divine Inspection Technique as he placed the drop of blood into his mouth. He savored the blood for a moment. “Heh, as expected of the Holy Patriarch’s blood. It’s super amazing!”
Sure enough, this is my blood. There’s no doubt about it…
Simpson: “…”
Balck: “…”
Simpson looked toward Balck expressionlessly. “Didn’t you say that even supreme beings of the Return to Void Final Stage would struggle to crack the barrier open?”
Balck felt like he had been made a fool of.
“Guards! Make sure that he doesn’t escape! Capture him for me!”
The sect-protection spell formation was also activated at this moment.
Countless Blood Tribe cultivators unleashed their powerful auras.
As if it were trying to shatter the heavens, a tide of killing intent surged throughout the spacious hall.
Ding! Ding! Ding!
Three crisp bell sounds reverberated in An Lin’s mind.
[Simpson +1, Balck +1, Starbucks +1.]
“Aha, thank you so much! I actually received the help of three people at once!”
The corners of An Lin’s lips curled up into an unruly smile.
He slowly drew his Evil-Slaying Sword as he looked toward the Soul Formation Stage cultivators and Return to Void Stage cultivators. “Next, allow me to turn your world into a sea of death!”
