第两千八百六十九章 真龙灵血

True Spirit, originally was a formidable existence in the cultivation world. Even those weaker True Spirits could contend with old monsters at the Tribulation Transcending stage.

The more prominent True Spirits like true dragons and colorful phoenixes were nearly on par with True Immortals.

For cultivators, the hides and bones of ordinary beasts often had great utility. As for True Spirit materials, they were naturally even more valuable.

But how useful is that if the True Spirits are too powerful? Eliminating them to harvest their hides and bones, or even their inner cores, was akin to digging in a mountain, almost impossible to accomplish.

Even Lesser Demigods and Beast Kings didn't have absolute confidence. While most True Spirits they could defeat, winning a battle did not equate to eliminating one.

At the level of True Spirits, how could anyone be unfamiliar with at least one or two survival techniques? Even if faced with a powerful enemy, failing to win might still offer an opportunity to escape.

Thus, even Tribulation Transcending cultivators had few chances to obtain True Spirit materials. Describing it as something that can only be encountered and not sought after was entirely appropriate.

Among all the True Spirit materials, the most common by far was True Spirit blood.

However, this True Spirit blood became more prevalent for a reason—it wasn't necessarily obtained from True Spirits themselves. For instance, Lin Xuan had once encountered the Yang Liping bird, a descendant of phoenixes. Eliminating it could yield some Heavenly Phoenix Spirit Blood.

Other True Spirits followed the same logic; over long periods, they would leave descendants behind. These descendants were far more powerful than ordinary beasts but insignificant to old monsters at the Tribulation Transcending stage. By eliminating them, one could extract True Spirit blood.

However, such extracted True Spirit blood had some of the characteristics and effects of true True Spirits, yet it was too rare for Lin Xuan's blue Star Sea to purify. In other words, its power and effects were still far from those of genuine True Spirit blood; calling it pseudo-Spirit Blood would be accurate.

True Spirit blood had myriad uses, but to Lin Xuan, it held a special significance.

True Spirit Sword Art!

This was a secret technique revealed by Lin Xuan only after he successfully refined the Nine Palace Momentary Sword. Its power needed no further mention—reaching its pinnacle, even True Immortals would be intimidated.

To practice this art required True Spirit blood; there were no restrictions on type, but naturally, the stronger the better. Although pseudo-Spirit Blood from descendants could also be used to practice it, that was a last resort choice. Seeing genuine Dragon Spirit Blood right before his eyes, he had to find a way to obtain it.

Lin Xuan's eyes burned with desire.

However, such thoughts weren't limited to him alone.

If ordinary True Spirit blood were enough, there wouldn't have been much interest. But true dragons were formidable beings; their spirit blood was rare and sought after. Most of the guests present showed signs of interest.

The Monkey Supreme Patriarch's face briefly flashed with satisfaction. This situation was as expected—just like how empress daughters don’t worry about marriage, this True Dragon Spirit Blood would be in high demand!

"Since all of you have recognized this item, I won't elaborate further. Yes, this is True Dragon Spirit Blood, obtained directly from a true dragon and not from its descendants. Its value speaks for itself. As for exchanging it for treasures, that’s up to your interest. Those who wish can come forward and state your conditions. If I find them suitable, the exchange will be completed."

The Monkey Supreme Patriarch's voice echoed in their ears. Before he finished speaking, a commotion broke out below. How cunning! He didn't even mention his conditions or specify what he wanted—whether it was medicinal pills, materials, or some other treasure. It was clear that he was trying to get the best deal possible.

Cunning but not breaking the rules; who could blame him for wanting True Dragon Spirit Blood? After a brief silence, someone stepped forward.

He moved his lips without speaking, clearly using sound transmission techniques. He didn't want anyone to hear his exchange conditions.

However, soon he came down dejectedly.

This wasn’t surprising. If the first person had succeeded in exchanging for spirit blood, it would have been remarkable. This one likely had little confidence and was just trying their luck.

Of course, there were no free lunches. So, his attempt ended in failure.

More people stepped forward, but none managed to exchange successfully.

It was obvious that the Monkey Supreme Patriarch's conditions were excessively high. He still wore a smug expression, but what followed surprised him. The atmosphere suddenly turned cold.

The old monsters present weren’t fools; this Monkey Supreme Patriarch clearly wanted to sell it at an exorbitant price. But who would willingly be a sucker? True Dragon Spirit Blood was valuable, but not priceless. After all, its value also depended on the cultivation techniques used.

After waiting for another cup of tea, the Monkey Supreme Patriarch’s face finally showed signs of anxiety.

This True Dragon Spirit Blood was something he had stumbled upon by chance. As a beast race member, it was useless to him despite its value. Originally hoping to sell it at a high price, this outcome was unexpected and disappointing.

Deep down, he truly wanted to exchange it. If not for the joyous occasion of the True Dragon Supreme, where would he find so many Tribulation Transcending experts gathered?

In other words, once this opportunity passed, there wouldn’t be another chance like this.

"Still no one? A true dragon is among the top True Spirits; its spirit blood is even harder to obtain. Don't miss out."

Finally, a few more people stepped forward.

After stating their conditions, the Monkey Supreme Patriarch hesitated before rejecting them all. The items they offered were clearly less valuable than True Dragon Spirit Blood. Although he was anxious and hoped for quick success, he didn’t want to make such one-sided deals.

The silence continued.

In truth, being clever backfired; if he had revealed his desired treasure or chosen an auction method from the start, this awkward scene wouldn't have occurred. But now, all that remained was frustration. Lin Xuan scanned the room, taking in everyone's reactions. It seemed no one was willing to step forward for a while. He rose from his seat.
