“Master, there are very few of these Shadow Star Stones, so they’re especially precious in our Swift Shadow Palace. However, Master, don’t be in a hurry to use them immediately. It’s best to save them for when the Shadow Seed is about to transform.” Lin Ying whispered to Xiao Shi.
Xiao Shi nodded. He already knew that when the Shadow Seed reached a certain stage, it would undergo a transformation. This transformation was like a martial artist breaking through every realm. However, if it wanted to undergo a transformation, he would definitely need to use some special items.
This kind of Shadow Star Stone was one of the more important special items.
Under normal circumstances, it was extremely difficult to obtain the Shadow Star Stone in the Swift Shadow Palace. This time, the First Elder generously gave it away. This surprised them.
As Cheng Tianhao was the most eye-catching in the Blood Sect’s game this time round, the rewards he could obtain would definitely be even more shocking than them.
Soon, Xiao Shi and the others returned to Tree Shadow City. The moment he returned, Xiao Shi directly arrived inside the Ancient Cang’e Tree and continued to nurture the Red Tiger Totem through the crystal array formation inside the Ancient Cang’e Tree.
Then, he went to visit Cen Qingci and the rest. Now, under the care of Cheng Tianhao, Cen Qingci and the others were living very comfortably in Tree Shadow City. Their strength and cultivation were also increasing by absorbing the spiritual tree qi. Still, they were still a distance away from the Major Perfection Qi Martial realm.
After ensuring that Cen Qingci and the others were fine, Xiao Shi began to think about the breakthrough to the Blood Martial Realm. Now, he already had the Emperor Armor in the Qi Martial Realm. There was no need to continue staying in the Qi Martial Realm. He was eager to break through to the Blood Martial Realm.
However, Xiao Shi only knew a rough understanding of the breakthrough to the Blood Martial Realm. He did not know the exact details. He planned to understand more through Cheng Tianhao later.
He waited for three days in a row. Cheng Tianhao did not come either. This made Xiao Shi frown. He took the initiative to look for Cheng Tianhao but could not find him. Based on his understanding of Cheng Tianhao, he knew that Cheng Tianhao was not such a person.
Something must have happened that he definitely did not have time to answer to him.
Xiao Shi immediately went to look for Meng Que and the others. He asked them about Cheng Tianhao. Although Meng Que and the others did not know what had happened to Cheng Tianhao, they all had a certain status in the Swift Shadow Palace.
They immediately began to investigate. After their investigation, they quickly told Xiao Shi the information they had obtained.
As Cheng Tianhao had contributed greatly this time, the Swift Shadow Palace decided to reward Cheng Tianhao and let him enter the inheritance ground to comprehend it.
Such an opportunity was extremely rare even among the Echelon disciples of the Swift Shadow Palace. It could be said to be the goal and desire of many Echelon disciples. It was obvious that after Cheng Tianhao met the First Elder, he was immediately arranged to go to the Land of Inheritance and did not have time to explain to Xiao Shi.
Now, Cheng Tianhao could not come out of the Land of Inheritance for the time being.
Xiao Shi could only get Meng Que and the others to help him gather more information about the Blood Martial Realm.
Xiao Shi and the others’ performance in the Blood Sect’s game slowly spread in the Swift Shadow Palace. This caused an extremely huge commotion in the Swift Shadow Palace.
No one expected Cheng Tianhao, who had just advanced to the Echelon, was actually so ferocious! The right to purchase blood beasts was obtained by the Swift Shadow Palace. This also made many Major Perfection Qi Martial Realm cultivators in the Swift Shadow Palace excited.
The cultivators in the Major Perfection Qi Martial Realm that the Swift Shadow Palace had arranged to participate in the Blood Sect’s game were only a part of the sect after all.
Not all of them.
If these Major Perfection Qi Martial Realm cultivators were still alive, then it would definitely not be the turn of these Major Perfection Qi Martial cultivators when the sect bought blood beasts. After all, those at the Major Perfection Qi Martial realm who participated in the Blood Sect’s game were all elites in the Major Perfection Qi Martial realm. They already had priority.
But now, these Major Perfection Qi Martial Realm cultivators have died tragically. This gave the other Major Perfection Qi Martial Realm cultivators hope.
Originally, their fate was to break through to the Blood Martial Realm with mortal blood. Now that they saw the hope of a true blood breakthrough, their hearts were filled with madness.
The Echelon disciples of the Swift Shadow Palace also paid attention to this matter. These Echelon disciples were divided into five factions. Back when Cheng Tianhao and the others were competing for the Echelons, they had the support of various factions.
When these factions found out about the Blood Sect’s game, Cheng Tianhao’s faction was the most excited. Cheng Tianhao’s rise would also drive their faction. Especially with Cheng Tianhao’s ferocious performance in the Blood Sect’s game this time, it was definitely enough to let their faction surpass the other factions.
However, they also realized something. That was, there was far more than one blood beast brought out of the Blood Sect’s game this time. Among them, Cheng Tianhao’s blood beast naturally belonged to him. There was no doubt about that.
But the other blood beast, in the eyes of these Echelon disciples, it was not that handguard’s turn.
“According to what I know, the Blood Beast of Cheng Tianhao’s hand guard only reached its maturity with his help. Therefore, this Blood Beast is equivalent to Cheng Tianhao.”
“Cheng Tianhao is a member of our faction. Now that he’s not around, we have the right to keep his things for him.”
“Instead of wasting the blood source of a blood beast on a mediocre hand guard, it’s better to use it on someone more suitable.”
The few Echelon disciples of the faction behind Cheng Tianhao discussed it and decided the ownership of Xiao Shi’s blood beast. On one hand, they were worried that the other factions would have designs on that blood beast. After all, Cheng Tianhao had entered the Land of Inheritance.
At this moment, if the other factions took action to snatch Xiao Shi’s blood beast, Cheng Tianhao could not stop it either. By the time Cheng Tianhao came out, there was nothing he could do if the blood source of the blood beast had already been extracted.
Cheng Tianhao was currently dazzling, and the sect would definitely be biased towards him. His status in the Swift Shadow Palace would also rise. However, the sect would not allow him to kill a Blood Martial Realm expert with true blood.
Which meant, as long as he snatched this blood beast and extracted its blood source, he would not be able to do anything when Cheng Tianhao returned.
On the other hand, the Echelon disciples of Cheng Tianhao’s faction also wanted to strengthen their faction to a greater extent through Xiao Shi’s blood beast.
Although they could also accept Xiao Shi, they looked down on Xiao Shi. They felt that Xiao Shi was just an ordinary hand guard. It was all thanks to Cheng Tianhao that he could raise a mature blood beast.
They felt that if they used the blood source of this blood beast on others, the effect would definitely be far better than using it on Xiao Shi.
If the other Major Perfection Qi Martial Realm cultivators in their faction could use the blood source of this blood beast to reach the True Blood Martial Realm in one go, the strength and status of their faction would be even stronger. They could also stand steadily in the Swift Shadow Palace.
Thinking of this, the Echelon disciples immediately made a decision.
“Then, let me take back the Blood Beast that belongs to us.” One of the Echelon disciples volunteered.
The other factions also had designs on Xiao Shi at the same time. If Cheng Tianhao was still around, they would definitely not dare to snatch it. However, now that Cheng Tianhao had already entered the Land of Inheritance and could not come out for the time being, they saw an opportunity.
Be it the faction behind Cheng Tianhao or the other factions, they did not take Xiao Shi seriously.
As for the other higher-ups of the Swift Shadow Palace, they did not interfere with this. In fact, when Cheng Tianhao and the others returned, many higher-ups had similar thoughts as these Echelon disciples.
They thought that good steel had to be used on good things. Instead of using such precious true blood on an ordinary hand guard, they might as well give it to those outstanding Major Perfection Qi Martial Realm cultivators.
However, due to Cheng Tianhao’s current merits and glory, they did not speak..
