Chapter 338: Just a Stroke of Lucky

Although the Spirit Race was gone, the Qin family still existed. This was a genuine imperial clan! Killing Qin Hao or Cao Yun to curry favor with the Qin family was something many people would be willing to do.

Su Chen’s words were not ungrounded.

“Big brother, is there a way to help us change our appearances?” Qin Hao’s eyes lit up as he asked curiously.

Cao Yun beside him was unmoved. He was not adept at much, but he was extremely skilled in restraining his aura and concealment techniques. With his current strength, he was confident that even if he met a saint who did not scrutinize him carefully, he could still hide his identity.

“There’s no method for that.” Su Chen’s smile did not change.

With a flip of his palm, two storage rings appeared. He handed them to Cao Yun and Qin Hao, continuing, “But I do have some Black Blood Stones here that can help improve your strengths.”

“Black Blood Stones?” Qin Hao and Cao Yun’s eyes flashed with strange lights.

During this time, the matter of the dark creatures had caused increasing chaos, and the name Black Blood Stones had also gradually become famous.

Since the dark creatures had yet to invade on a large scale, Black Blood Stones were still priceless treasures. But at the very least, prices were lower than hundreds of years ago.

Even so, they were not something ordinary people could obtain. In today’s world, any top prodigy who did not refine Black Blood Stones would implicitly be weaker than others.

After all, everyone had the backing of major powers. In battles, while one refined Black Blood Stones – even if unable to be reborn from a drop of blood, just being able to regrow severed limbs already far surpassed others.

One could imagine, the Black Blood Stones were incredibly sought after now. To fight over them, some major powers were already at loggerheads, and the situation was turbulent.

Due to the previous quasi-emperor’s edict, both sides might still exercise restraint for now. But in the long run, no one could guarantee what those without the Black Blood Stones might do.

“Senior Brother, isn’t this too valuable?” Cao Yun took the storage ring and examined it carefully.

Inside, fist-sized black crystals filled the entire ring. A rough count yielded at least several hundred thousand! Furthermore, their grade was definitely not low. With Cao Yun’s discernment, he estimated they were at least high-grade, or even supreme-grade.

Unfortunately, this was his first time seeing them, so he could not determine the precise grade immediately.

Frankly, if the Black Blood Stones in this ring were released into the outside world, it would definitely trigger a bloody storm. According to the current market price, these hundreds of thousands of stones could be exchanged for tens of millions of supreme-grade spirit stones at least.

One had to understand, that was tens of millions! An astronomical sum! Even having once ransacked the Spirit Race’s treasury, it was uncertain whether he would be willing to take out such a vast amount.

Thinking of this, Cao Yun’s respect for Su Chen rose to another level unconsciously. His senior brother whom he had met years ago, he would never have imagined the other party valued him so highly. This kindness had already reached an unparalleled degree in his heart.

“Although Black Blood Stones are valuable, they happen to be useful for you. After refining them, when encountering powerful enemies, you will have additional life-saving means,” Su Chen said with a smile.

Currently, he already had so many Black Blood Stones that they couldn’t be used up. The ancient existence in the Demon Slaying Altar’s depths had been extremely generous. The Black Blood Stones given to him numbered at least one hundred million.

But he wouldn’t say this aloud. If made explicit, it would seem less precious in Cao Yun and the other’s eyes. He had to make it seem like he didn’t have many Black Blood Stones himself, but was still willing to share some – only then could he maximize this favor.

“I will remember Senior Brother’s kindness today!” Cao Yun said.

At this moment, he felt somewhat ashamed. Senior Brother had helped him so much, yet he was of no help to Senior Brother currently. He felt quite guilty.

On the other hand, Qin Hao beside him did not care as much. In his heart, nothing could compare to his big brother’s life-saving grace. After muttering thanks, he casually took out a Black Blood Stone and bit down hard.

Crack! The stone in his hand instantly snapped in two. After chewing for a while, Qin Hao’s brows furrowed as he said somewhat disgustedly, “Not delicious!”

The Black Blood Stone’s taste compared to the demonic beast meat he had eaten before was worlds apart.

“Black Blood Stones are not for eating,” Su Chen said with a smile. He stood up and said, “I look forward to the next time we meet, when you can fight alongside me.”

In ordinary cultivators’ eyes, Qin Hao and Cao Yun’s cultivation speed was already shocking. But in Su Chen’s eyes, it was still lacking. If he wanted them to be of some help, he would probably need to wait decades or even hundreds of years.

Of course, this presumption was based on him not obtaining cultivation rewards from the system during this time.

But things never went as hoped. After the battle with the Spirit Race, some had already envisioned him as a peak-stage Quasi-Saint Realm existence. If he claimed the system rewards… Su Chen reckoned he would not be far from becoming a saint.

“Big brother, you’re leaving already?” Qin Hao raised his head and asked in surprise.

“Yes,” Su Chen nodded lightly and said, “See you again.”

As his voice fell, he stepped forward and vanished from the private room. Long Wu disappeared along with him.

When the two reappeared, they were already hundreds of miles away from the ancient city. Su Chen waved his hand, summoning the golden chariot, then stepped inside with Long Wu.

“System, claim rewards!” Su Chen said in his heart after sitting down.

Boom!

The next moment, a powerful aura erupted from Su Chen’s body. His strength began climbing wildly until it finally stopped at the peak stage of the Quasi-Saint Realm.

This scene shocked Long Wu. Her beautiful eyes fixed on Su Chen, filled with unfathomable doubts. If she remembered correctly, not long ago her Master had just broken through to the late stage of the Quasi-Saint Realm. How could his strength have risen so much in such a short time?

If she was not mistaken, her Master’s strength was not far from becoming a saint now, right?

“Master, you broke through again?” Long Wu asked.

“Just a stroke of luck!” Su Chen said casually.

Although he had reached the peak stage of the Quasi-Saint Realm, he didn’t sense his Saint Tribulation yet. In other words, he wanted to become a saint now, either by continuing to consolidate his cultivation or taking a Saint Ascension Pill. Since there was no danger, he was in no hurry to use a pill to force a breakthrough..
