Chapter 313 - 251: Blood Essence and Blood Longevity
This batch alone was worth over a hundred Top-grade Spirit Stones.
In addition, there was the Hippocampus Essence Blood, Horse Mackerel Meat, and Sea Horse Essence. All told, the total value approached two hundred Top-grade Spirit Stones.
Such were the staggering returns of hunting at sea. However, the ocean was far more dangerous than the land. Even if one could earn so many Spirit Stones in a single trip, the next time they might run into a Golden Core Sea Beast and never return to shore again.
Moreover, Fang Qingyuan had been stalking this Hippocampus school for two years, waiting until they had completely let their guard down in this area before wiping them out in one fell swoop.
Had they fled into the deep sea, Fang Qingyuan wouldn’t have dared to give chase. In the terrifying depths, there was no telling what one might face next.
Fang Qingyuan didn’t plan on selling the Hippocampus Bones. He would place them inside the Immortal Mansion and let it absorb them to improve the quality of his Spirit Root.
After the past two years of cultivation, Fang Qingyuan felt his Water Spirit Root growing more and more potent. He estimated it was on the verge of an upgrade, so this batch of Hippocampus Bones had arrived at the perfect time.
As for the Horse Mackerel Meat, he would save it for Nanli and Yinbao. Consuming the flesh of a Second-stage Sea Beast could strengthen a Spirit Beast’s physique and accelerate its growth.
The Hippocampus Essence Blood and Sea Horse Essence, on the other hand, would be given to the Bee Queen for Refining Elixirs. With a Second-stage Sea Beast as the primary ingredient, the Blood Qi Pills and Blood Soul Pills she refined would be of considerable help even to a Foundation Establishment Cultivator.
Over the past two years, Fang Qingyuan’s relationship with Shen Wan Jun had improved considerably, especially since the auction on the He Family’s great ship.
Shen Wan Jun had even begun to supply him with sensitive materials like Sea Beast Essence Souls.
The Bee Queen was now able to refine Blood Soul Pills with a respectable success rate, which meant she had officially reached the level of a Tier One Upper Grade Pill Master.
Blood Qi Pill, Blood Soul Pill, Blood Intent Pill, Blood Essence Pill, and the final Foundation Establishment Elixir, the Blood Life Pill.
The recipes for these five elixirs had come with the Pill Master’s legacy that Fang Qingyuan had won at auction for two hundred Top-grade Spirit Stones.
In truth, a Pill Master’s legacy could be acquired for sixty or seventy Top-grade Spirit Stones, with a better one capping out at one hundred. The only reason this one had sold for the sky-high price of two hundred was entirely due to these elixir recipes.
The Blood Qi Pill enhanced a Cultivator’s vitality and physique; the Blood Soul Pill strengthened their soul; the Blood Intent Pill could temporarily boost their combat prowess; and the Blood Essence Pill was an elixir for advancing one’s cultivation.
The recipes for these four were all for Qi Refining Realm elixirs; only the final one, the Blood Life Pill, was the real prize.
Even among Tier Two Elixirs, the Blood Life Pill was a rather niche and expensive one. As its name suggested, the Blood Life Pill could extend a Cultivator’s lifespan.
However, it only added two to three years of life, and it came with severe side effects.
Otherwise, given the rarity of Longevity Elixirs, a single recipe would be worth several hundred Top-grade Spirit Stones. How could it possibly have been sold as part of a bundle?
The Bee Queen had already mastered refining the Blood Qi Pill and the Blood Soul Pill. The Blood Intent Pill didn’t sell well, so Fang Qingyuan didn’t plan on having the Bee Queen make many. Although the Blood Essence Pill could advance a Cultivator’s cultivation, it wasn’t a mainstream elixir. Its medicinal power was rich in blood qi, which wasn’t considered a top-quality supplement for a Cultivator’s True Essence.
Other elixirs that could raise a Cultivator’s cultivation level, such as the Yellow Bud Pill or the True Essence Pill, were much more moderate and gentle, containing very few pill toxins. The Blood Essence Pill, however, was full of impurities and required one to expend extra effort to purify their Magical Power, which was a major hassle.
Therefore, Fang Qingyuan was currently focusing on the Blood Qi Pill and the Blood Soul Pill, shelving the other two for the time being.
As for the Blood Life Pill, however, an idea was forming in Fang Qingyuan’s mind. If he could succeed, this elixir would become the perfect tool for making a name for himself in the Iron Wind Islands.
Before he knew it, the silhouette of the Iron Wind Islands had appeared on the horizon. Seeing this, Fang Qingyuan signaled his mount, Yinbao, to accelerate.
’Once we get back,’ he thought, ’it’ll be time for Yinbao to consume the Sea Spirit Whale’s heart and attempt its breakthrough to Foundation Establishment.’
