Chapter 36 - 34: Ancient God Flesh

Boom... Boom boom...

The rumble from outside was getting stronger and stronger, even causing the entire Treasure Vault to shake a moment ago.

Yet, this couldn’t interrupt Baiyi’s thoughts on getting rich. He carefully placed eight Soul Crystal Cores into the modified potion box.

Once the box vanished under his trench coat, Baiyi finally felt at ease.

"Alright, Sabo, if you really need them, we can still split them two-eight." Baiyi tempted, "But you can first check the quality of other materials. I believe you don’t necessarily need the Soul Crystal Cores."

As Baiyi spoke, he began to plunder the items from the shelves, teleporting all of them over to Sabo.

"Oh~ my god, Dragon Soul Grass? And there’s even Earth Evil Stone...."

Amidst a series of exclamations, Baiyi quickly stripped the materials from eight shelves and finally looked at the blood at the center of the altar.

From the moment he entered, he noticed the pool of blood over ten meters in diameter was filled with Magic Power. It seemed like it was the blood of Transcendents, mixed with some special magical materials.

Avoiding the scattered limbs, Baiyi walked to the edge of the blood pool. He activated the scanning function on his panel, and immediately the pleasing information appeared before his eyes.

[Name: Blood Essence.

Attributes: Materials.

Quality: Silver (High-quality: Enhancing.)

Introduction: This blood essence, extracted from various races, is mixed with rare materials, containing abundant Magic Power.

Price: 5 Gold Coins per 1L.]

His eyes brightened immediately. With the panel quoting five Gold Coins, its value was at least twenty Gold Coins or even higher.

Such a huge pool, could the Scarlet Sect really be this wealthy?

"Get a container ready for the liquid; there’s more good stuff in abundance here." Baiyi’s breathing was slightly hurried.

The accumulation of such a massive force truly shocked him. If these materials were exchanged for Gold Coins, he might become the wealthiest person in this city, next to the City Lord.

"Liquid? Please give me a minute, my friend."

Sabo’s voice carried excitement. In the earpiece, he could be heard rummaging through something, and the external explosive sounds were getting louder. Baiyi could clearly perceive that Mosen’s presence had again fallen under threat.

Moreover, the rumble of the Energy Gun wasn’t resounding anymore, suggesting that Apocalypse’s advantage was fading.

When crafting Barrett, he abandoned all gun functions, only pursuing ultimate destructive power, leading to a terrifyingly long cooling time for this gun, allowing a maximum of two shots a day.

Even one more shot would render it unusable.

So, if Apocalypse’s fire support was batch-launched, the gunfire earlier was almost depleted.

If the City Lord and city defense weapons didn’t join the battle, the Scarlet Sect would soon win.

"My friend, it’s ready."

Sabo’s excited voice brimmed with anticipation.

Baiyi moved closer, using a test tube to collect a small sample first, then covered the vast Blood Pool with his Spiritual Power.

With a flicker of an utterly filthy aura, in an instant, the giant pool vanished, leaving only a bare rock pit that appeared somewhat desolate.

"Oh~ my god, what’s this? How can such strong Magic Power be contained within blood?"

Sabo’s astonished voice came again: "My friend, what else is there? Quick, open vision sharing; I want to see!"

Baiyi glanced around. Other than the scattered limbs on the altar, the place seemed ominously empty.

"Nothing else. So, have you decided? To give up on the Soul Crystal Core and split it four-six or two-eight?" Baiyi scanned with his panel once more.

Finding no other valuable items, he decisively headed toward the exit.

This time, the value had far exceeded his expectations. However, for an Alchemist, no amount of materials was too much, so he planned to continue developing further.

The Scarlet Sect’s accumulation was clearly prepared for the Lord of Scarlet.

The method of nurturing the blood was something he had never heard of, but it was clear that a Golden Lower Tier Blood Mage couldn’t handle it.

"Really? That’s such a pity." Sabo said with a hint of disappointment, but after hesitating for a moment, he added, "Let’s stick to four-six; after all, as the best friend, I can’t be that selfish."

Baiyi’s mouth twitched, somewhat surprised: "You have a way to buy Soul Crystal Cores?"

Based on Baiyi’s understanding of this commodity, if he had no channel, he would definitely demand a share, even asking for one or two of them.

After all, Soul Crystal Cores are top-tier resources. In the current Federation, all Soul Minerals have been mined out, and besides enough contributions, you can only obtain them by exploring new territories.

Sabo resolutely denied: "Impossible, it’s just that I feel you need them more, and twenty percent of the materials are worth much more than one Soul Crystal Core."

Baiyi instantly deduced that Sabo absolutely had a channel!

However, he didn’t dwell further, opening the Steel Giant Gate. He peeked outside to find the green mist had dissipated.

He walked out, eyes full of contemplation: "These materials were clearly prepared for the Lord of Scarlet. So, what are they fighting over? It feels like, in their eyes, these materials aren’t worth that thing."

"I’ve found something." Sabo’s voice turned somber: "Most likely, it’s Ancient God Flesh or a part of the Lord of Scarlet’s power."

Baiyi was taken aback: "Are you sure?"

"Not certain, but nine times out of ten." Sabo analyzed: "My people saw it; this is the footage. I’ll send it over for you to see."

As Sabo spoke, some gear-turning sounds came from his side, and soon, an image appeared slightly blurry on Baiyi’s sunglasses.

It was something held in the hand of a young man, a scarlet Treasure Pearl inside an octagonal glass container, but the image didn’t reveal anything extraordinary.

"Such glass-sealed containers are commonly used sealing methods by Gods, and the fact it was personally sealed by a God, along with the objectives of the Scarlet Sect and their relentless actions, is evidence enough."

"And during the New God’s rise and the Ancient Gods’ decline, there was also a description of the Lord of Scarlet being struck out of this world by the War God."

Sabo concluded: "So, whoever gets it doesn’t impact us greatly, but it can’t be the Scarlet Sect getting it."

Baiyi pondered briefly, turned around, and quickly ran westward, swiftly distancing from the battlefield.

Sabo hesitated for a moment and then asked surprised: "My friend, where are you going?"

Baiyi calmly analyzed: "If it’s the Lord of Scarlet’s flesh, then there’s no rush. This is Dongwu City; everything now is merely to train Mosen, that’s all."

"So, before the city defense mechanisms activate, we have other things to take care of; it’s too close to the East City Gate."
