"Is Master Zheng doubting our Sect Leader?"
"The death of Senior Mao Ri is known to all; it was the hand of Tianyu Saint Monarch!"
"Although Master Zheng was once a disciple of Tianyu Saint Monarch, when you speak, you should consider the interests of Dragon Mountain Villa and not get involved in the disputes between the Orthodox and Demonic factions!"
Upon hearing this remark, Zhongtai Dao Lord, sitting next to Xu Xing, snorted coldly and spoke in an unpleasant tone.
Dragon Mountain Villa shared so similarities with the Red Dust Pavilion: it was neither entirely righteous nor wholly evil, not belonging to the Righteous Path nor the Demon Way, but was a neutral sect.
However, compared to the strength of the Red Dust Pavilion, Dragon Mountain Villa was relatively weak, ranking only at the bottom among the Higher Teachings.
What Master Zheng had just said was indeed quite sensitive, especially concerning both the Orthodox and Demonic factions.
And Zhongtai Dao Lord's reply was even more interesting. Ostensibly, he seed to be saying that the death of Mao Ri Saint Lord had nothing to do with the Butian Sect. However, he was actually implying that even if it were related, it wouldn't change a thing, as the various Righteous Path sects believed Tianyu Saint Monarch was responsible!
For the sake of their so-called "justice," the various Righteous Path sects would not cripple their own strength by driving a Righteous Path Sage Monarch into the embrace of the Demonic faction.
Even if the Righteous Path sects had such an intention, they wouldn't dare!
This was because the Butian Sect was a Higher Teaching, one of the players who set the rules for the various Righteous Path sects.
Previously, the Seven Stars Sect had controlled the discourse of the Righteous Path. The Butian Sect naturally had to act cautiously, daring not to leave any evidence of collusion with the Yin Wind Gate.
But now, tis had changed. The Butian Sect was the Higher Teaching in the North Wilderness that controlled the discourse, so naturally, they did not fear any "threat" from Dragon Mountain Villa.
"This Villa Master misspoke!"
"I deserve a penalty!"
Master Zheng of Dragon Mountain Villa smiled wryly and, as a forfeit, drank three cups of wine.
He said this not because he had genuinely misspoken, but because he had another purpose.
This ti, the Butian Sect had co to apologize. The reason for the apology was their destruction of the Godslayer Sect, which had broken the marriage alliance between Dragon Mountain Villa and the Godslayer Sect.
Therefore, his repeated ntions of Tianyu Saint Monarch were a way of stating his position: Dragon Mountain Villa had tacitly approved the destruction of the Godslayer Sect.
There was no feud between Dragon Mountain Villa and the Butian Sect!
"Aside from apologizing to your esteed sect regarding the Godslayer Sect affair, I, Xu Xing, have another purpose in coming to Dragon Mountain Villa this ti," Xu Xing said, bringing up a new topic. "I wish to request so of your sect's True Dragon Blood to feed my Spirit Pet. I wonder if Master Zheng would be willing to part with this treasure?"
After returning to East Huangzhou from Nanyan Continent, the Earth Dragon's cultivation had hit a bottleneck, and there was no sign of it condensing a Nascent Soul.
Xu Xing had stayed on Demon Island for a considerable period and knew that the reason for the Earth Dragon's cultivation bottleneck lay in its bloodline shackles.
Demonic Beasts with high-level bloodlines could break through extrely quickly, comparable to the Human Clan's Prides of Heaven, as long as they did not exceed their bloodline limits.
But once their realm reached the bloodline "limit," their breakthroughs beca as slow as a tortoise. They had to rely on grinding away with ti or encountering great fortune to complete their transformation and break through their realm.
The Earth Dragon was a fourth-tier bloodline Demonic Beast. Ordinarily, it could cultivate to the fourth tier, which was equivalent to the Nascent Soul Realm of a Human Cultivator.
However, the ti it took for it to break through from the Dao Pill Realm to the Nascent Soul Realm was extrely long. This process could take hundreds or even thousands of years, far exceeding the ti required to advance from the Immortal Base Realm to the Dao Pill Realm.
Xu Xing had encountered True Dragon Blood, or even purer Flood Dragon Blood, before. For instance, the blood pool within the Broken Dragon Platform in the Louhai Secret Realm contained dragon blood left by the forr Third Prince Xiaohai.
Unfortunately, the dragon blood in the Broken Dragon Platform had long been used as nourishnt for the Third Prince Xiaohai's second-life Dao Body transformation. It had lost much of its spirituality and could not help the Earth Dragon overco its bloodline shackles to condense a Nascent Soul.
"True Dragon Blood?" Zheng Yahai frowned slightly upon hearing these familiar words, his gaze turning to his wife beside him.
He was rely the Villa Master by marriage, having married into the family. Matters concerning the villa's resources were always managed by his wife, the Villa Lady; he did not intervene.
"True Dragon Blood is also a precious item to our Villa. Master Xu... your visit this ti seems to carry the air of a wicked guest, does it not?"
The Villa Lady, wearing a long, sweeping red dress embroidered with gold silk, possessed a voluptuous figure and an enchanting, jade-like face. Sensing her husband's gaze, she covered her mouth with a light laugh, glanced at Xu Xing with sparkling eyes, and spoke these words softly.
So things were inconvenient for n to say, as saying them might cause offense. Only won like them could broach such topics conveniently.
Dragon Mountain Villa reared countless Jiao Beasts. By refining their Essence Blood using the villa's Secret Technique, they could obtain the "True Dragon Blood" Xu Xing ntioned.
This "True Dragon Blood," although vastly inferior to genuine True Dragon Blood, was still a rare treasure. Even Dragon Mountain Villa did not have much of it in stock.
For Xu Xing to think he could obtain this item from Dragon Mountain Villa with just a few words was wishful thinking.
Others might fear the Butian Sect, but Dragon Mountain Villa, also one of the Higher Teachings alongside the Butian Sect, was not intimidated by its might.
"My Husband seeks this item, and naturally, he would not expect Dragon Mountain Villa to provide it for free. What might your esteed sect require in exchange for this True Dragon Blood?"
Seeing the Villa Lady speak, Zuoqiu Ying glanced at Xu Xing and, receiving his unspoken consent, spoke on his behalf.
The two won conferred for a mont and finally settled on an exchange: the "Star Soil" produced in the forr Seven Stars Sect's Cave for the True Dragon Blood.
"Star Soil," much like Dragon Mountain Villa's True Dragon Blood, was also a special Spirit Material unique to the Seven Stars Sect. It was exceedingly precious and difficult to obtain in the outside world, with even small amounts being rare.
Xu Xing, hearing the outco of their negotiation, nodded in satisfaction. He took out a Jade Box from his sleeve and placed it on the table.
Inside the Jade Box was the "Star Soil," a specialty Spirit Material of the Seven Stars Sect that he had brought with him.
Seeing this, the Villa Lady, seated in the High Seat, nodded her elegant head slightly, then took out a Thousand-Mile Voice Transmission Talisman and sent it off.
