Looking at w.a.n.g Qian"s miserable face, Dao Lin touched the b.l.o.o.d.y-red marble pensively. This thing was definitely not simple, otherwise that guard wouldn"t beat her.
All the people were dumbstruck. It didn"t occur to them that Chen Dahai would hit her, so they couldn"t respond immediately.
w.a.n.g Qian almost went mad. Blood running down on her face, a wisp of black smoke appearing above her head, she fulminated with anger. She was so angry that her body shook and her face looked fierce.
At this point, an elder walked down the stairs. He saw the scene, and his old face darkened. He frowned and said, "Dahai, what"s going on?"
"Elder, he beat me. He beat me for no reason." w.a.n.g Qian gave an aggrieved look immediately. She ran over and pointed at Dao Lin, "And he, the crazy man, wanted to sell a d.a.m.n broken stone for an exceedingly high price. I asked Chen Dahai to kick him out. But Dahai did not do that. On the contrary, he beat me. Uncle Fu, please help me."
"Dahai, what happened?" Chen Fu pulled a long face and glanced at Dao Lin. He knew that Dahai was not saucy, and after all he had been his follower more than ten years. He must not just listen to one-sided story.
Chen Dahai walked over and whispered in Chen Fu"s ear. After hearing all of this, Chen Fu almost went crazy. This was the b.l.o.o.d.y-red marble, the most valuable treasure that only could be dug out from the ancient abyssopelagic mine!
That stupid woman thought it was a dame broken stone.
Looking at Chen Fu"s furious face, w.a.n.g Qian burst with joy because she thought the elder would do her favor.
But who had ever thought that Chen Fu burst with ferocious waves which shook heaven and earth and overwhelmed w.a.n.g Qian. She trembled violently for she felt the fear of death.
"You b.a.s.t.a.r.d, now get out! You are fired. Get the f.u.c.k out!" Chen Fu gave a black look. He swung his garment and a blast of strong wind blew out. w.a.n.g Qian was beaten away.
All the people were shocked, and they looked at the boy in white. Chen Fu must have taken a fancy to the thing he brought. w.a.n.g Qian must have made a mistake and that thing was definitely very precious.
"Haha, never mind, my friend." Chen Fu converged his whole power. He laughed heartily and walked over to make an apology, "That woman knows nothing. Don"t mind. I sincerely apologize."
"Right. She has eyes but fails to see the treasures. Fortunately, I discovered it in time. It is not a common treasure. Only our Treasure Collection Hall affords it. For the thing that just happened, we will make it up to you later."
"Yes, we must make it up to you. My friend, please come in, right this way." Chen Fu beamed with joy and his old face was like a blooming chrysanthemum. He thought in mind, "The treasure from the ancient abyssopelagic mine, I must take it!"
Dao Lin hesitated for a moment and then nodded. They were right, and no one would be able to take the b.l.o.o.d.y-red marble except the Treasure Collection Hall.
At the door, w.a.n.g Qian stared at the scene with her malicious eyes. She clenched her fists and yelled mercilessly in her heart, "Just wait for me. I will kill you. You won"t survive the night, I promise."
On the second floor of the Treasure Collection Hall, there were few guests. The rooms were all elaborately decorated. It seemed that the rooms were for very important people.
Chen Fu stared at the b.l.o.o.d.y-red marble and nodded. Now he was pretty sure that the thing was a real deal. He said immediately, "What treasures do you want to exchange for? Or you want to cash in on it?"
"Give me half a million golden coins. Also, I need the blood of ferocious beasts. The more precious, the better. Besides, I need it to be various and the quality should be incremental. It would be the best if I can get the most precious one!" Dao Lin said it drily.
Hearing this, Chen Fu"s eyes brightened, and he asked immediately, "Are you an alchemist?"
"My master is." Dao Lin talked nonsense. An alchemist was very distinguished. Only alchemists would buy so much ferocious beasts" blood because the blood could be used for alchemy.
"Oh, I see." Chen Fu nodded. He figured that Dao Lin"s master must be a great alchemist and big shot for he was able to dig out the marble in the ancient abyssopelagic mine. He said immediately, "Dahai, go to the storage room and get the precious blood of ferocious beasts according to this guest"s demands."
"Yes, I"m on my way." Chen Dahai nodded hurriedly. He was as happy as a dog with two tails. If they could make a deal, the Hall would make a lot of money.
"Follow me please. This is my room. Have a seat please."
This was an elaborately decorated room. Dao Lin came in and Chen Fu made a cup of tea for him and said, "This is Biyu tea and it is freshly picked. Have a taste, please."
Dao Lin nodded. He picked it up and took a sip. He felt the gentle power ran through his body immediately. His body became warm and the power was enhanced. He couldn"t help praising in his heart, "It can improve the physical quality!"
"Elder, there"s not much ferocious beasts" blood in the store ."
Chen Dahai ran out quickly with a tray on his hands. There were two jade bottles：one was as b.l.o.o.d.y-red as jar, and the other was as blue as sky. There"s also a golden card on the tray.
"This is the precious liquid of Blood Flake Beast. And this is the precious liquid of Blue Crystal Beast. Although they are not in upper cla.s.s, they are very uncommon. And here is a card which is worth half a million gold coins."
Taking a glance, Dao Lin felt warmed. He heard about these beasts, which were of much better quality than Blood Flake Beast.
"But I think this is too little." Dao Lin frowned. He was not sure about the price of the marble.
"Don"t worry. These are just given away. I"ll get you the real good things as soon as possible." Chen Fu said hurriedly," Now I shall get you a bottle of ancient ferocious beast"s blood."
Hearing this, Dao Lin"s heart beat fiercely. The ancient ferocious beast! It was very horrible and no other beasts could compare with it. The blood of this kind of beast was incredibly invaluable.
In addition, the thing was hard to get. It was so invaluable because few people dared to hunt the ancient ferocious beast.
"I underestimated it. I didn"t expect the value of the marble is so high that it can exchange for the blood of ancient ferocious beast!" Dao Lin gasped in the heart and said calmly, "How long will you take?"
"I"ll hurry to Qingzhou City. It will take two or four hours. Please wait for me." Chen Fu said it hastily.
"Qingzhou City." Dao Lin made a fist slightly. That was the biggest city in the whole Qingzhou State. It was said that Qingzhou city had existed from ancient time. The city was pretty bustling and prosperous. Also, there were countless prodigies. He nodded, "All right. I happen to be tired and want to have a rest."
Soon, the room piped down. Dao Lin waited for a moment. Then he picked up the Blood Flake Beast"s blood and drank it.
The blood was a.s.similated by Dao Lin immediately. A burst of turbulent power ran through his body. He trembled violently, feeling that his body was going to be blown up.
He calmed down and got into a mental state. When he practiced the Heaven Devouring, the energy was subdued immediately and it was changed into quintessential energy, which wormed its way into Dao Lin"s body.
His muscles wriggled. If one observed carefully, he could see there was much more minor s.p.a.ce in his muscles under the washing of ferocious beast"s liquid.
And the s.p.a.ce was filled up by the energy right away.
The enhancement speed was crazy. Dao Lin felt that his body was getting stronger speedily and full of energy. And his inner strength was upwelling continuously.
/Crack!
The sound from his body was just like beans being fried. Every muscle burst with strong spirits. With all the strong muscles, the whole body presented the leonine infinite strength.
More than one hour later, Dao Lin thought the energy was absorbed completely. So he drank the second bottle. A blast of breath flew inside his body. But the effect was not as distinct as the first one for his strength didn"t get improved too much.
"Sure enough. The ferocious beasts are very horrible. And the martial art, Heaven Devouring, can transfer the potentials of beasts to my body."
Dao Lin took a deep breath, thinking that he needed to get the high-cla.s.s blood. He didn"t know how strong the blood was.
"Peng——", his fists swayed in the air, making the booming sound. It shook the air around and even twisted the vacuum.
"Pretty strong. My body became stronger. The advancement speed is scary!" Dao Lin"s face beamed with delight. But his heart trembled as well. Who on earth gave him the martial art?
"The primitive holy body! What the h.e.l.l is the holy body?" Dao Lin compressed his lips with a shocked look on his face. He had heard the divine body, the combatant body, the king body and so on. He seemed to know a little about the holy body but it was the first time that he heard the primitive holy body.
"I must do some research. But I don"t know whether or not the people who gave me the martial art will come to me again." Dao Lin clenched his fists. He was very grateful to that man and hoped that he had a chance to repay his kindness.
Dao Lin stood up and brought his body to work. He looked around and saw a jade slip.
This jade slip seemed very old and there was a fist print on it, which shone with the brightness of stars. He was shocked, "Shooting Star Martial Art. What level is this martial art?"
Martial arts could increase combat power. They were very rare even in Qingshan College. He didn"t expect that Chen Fu put it on the desk so randomly.
Just one glance, Dao Lin was attracted. He stared at the fist print and felt that a burst of tough martial breath spread from it. The jade slip must have been carved by the doughty.
Suddenly, the door opened. Chen Fu walked in, followed by a girl in purple. The girl was very elegant and cla.s.sic with a pair of arched eyebrows. She was a vision of heavenly beauty and was so delicate that she gave people an unforgettable impression.
"Gee." When Chen Fu saw that Dao Lin was looking at the Shooting Star Martial Art, he was slightly astonished. It didn"t occur to him that Dao Lin was interested in this martial art.
When he was just about to say something, the girl in purple swayed her beautiful hands. Her eyes fell upon Dao Lin. When she rolled her eyes, there was some weirdness in them.
"This buddy." Chen Fu curled his lips. He didn"t know what the lady would do.
Shooting Star Martial Art was not that mighty, but it was a high-cla.s.s martial art.
It was a sheer fantasy if someone wanted to learn all of it in such a short period of time. He spent half a month and just learned a little of it. Only those fantastic prodigies could acquire all of it in a few days.
