At this moment, although Hex Anmin was extremely excited and overjoyed, he didn't forget the task at hand. He took out an exquisite brocade box. The box was wrapped in a layer of gold foil and another layer of purple kraft paper.
After taking out the brocade box, Hex Anmin flew through the air to the giant's heart. He then held the box up with his left hand and began to form a Magic Technique with his right.
After he muttered a few words, the red glow at the giant's heart grew brighter and brighter. The fluorescent blood inside began to flow faster and faster!
Just then, with a gentle guiding motion from Hex Anmin, the glowing blood from within the heart flew out, following his pull.
WHOOSH! This magical blood followed Hex Anmin's guidance, slowly flying into the brocade box.
The heart seemed to be filled with a brilliant red glow, but there wasn't actually much of the fluorescent blood—just a tiny thread, about a single drop's worth. In a matter of moments, Hex Anmin had guided all of it into the brocade box. It coalesced into a single, crystalline Blood Bead, which shone even more brilliantly and lustrously than it had before.
Hex Anmin closed the lid, wrapped the box in the gold foil and kraft paper, and just like that, the collection of the Saint Spirit Blood was complete. Their mission was officially over.
Now, they could leave through a special method without even waiting for the House Entrance Examination to end and have the experts from the Heaven-Devouring Sect receive them.
However, just as Hex Anmin had obtained the 'Saint Spirit Blood' and was about to gather his subordinates to leave, a black shadow shot forward like a bolt of lightning under everyone's watchful eyes. It snatched the brocade box right out of Hex Anmin's hands!
Then, with a flicker of its form, the black shadow landed gracefully in the distance. It watched Hex Anmin and the others mockingly, showing no intention of fleeing the scene.
Neither the Heaven-Devouring Sect disciples present nor their leader, Hex Anmin, had time to react. They could only watch as the black shadow made off with the brocade box containing the 'Saint Spirit Blood'.
The black shadow's Speed was simply too fast, too explosive. Even if they had wanted to react, they wouldn't have been able to!
It was only after the black shadow had snatched the brocade box and landed in the distance that Hex Anmin and the others realized it had been stolen!
Having the Saint Spirit Blood stolen from him, Hex Anmin was furious. He roared, "How dare you! Who is it?! Who dares to steal our things!"
Hex Anmin and his men were livid. Their mission was on the verge of completion, and the Saint Spirit Blood was in their hands. They never expected someone to pull a Cheng Yaojin and snatch it away at the last second!
Beyond his anger, Hex Anmin was also horrified. He was a Battle King! That person's Speed was even faster than his, a Battle King's! He, a Battle King, couldn't even see the person clearly. This level of strength posed a threat to them!
Surprised, Hex Anmin looked toward the black shadow. Only then did he see that the figure was dressed in the uniform of a North District candidate. His features were unremarkable, and he didn't exude the aura of an expert at all. He looked completely ordinary. 'Could he... just be a regular candidate?'
But... It was one thing for the candidate to look ordinary—anyone who could enter the Little Extreme Sacred Land had to have some degree of strength. But this North District candidate didn't even have the aura of a Martial Artist, which was incredibly strange.
"Who are you! Why did you steal our item!"
Hex Anmin frowned, reining in his fury, and asked the question. Hex Anmin had a faint suspicion. He felt that this candidate was the very person he had been looking for, the one who could threaten their mission. However, he couldn't be entirely sure, so he decided to question the candidate.
"Weren't you looking for me? Besides, I'm a candidate for the West Mansion, which means I'll be a member of the West Mansion soon. It's my duty to be its guardian. You lot, however, don't seem to be simple candidates, do you? You're acting all sneaky, plotting against the West Mansion. I haven't even asked who you are, yet you have the audacity to ask who I am? Heh." The candidate sneered.
And who else could this person who had snatched the Saint Spirit Blood be but Tang Yi?
On this final day, Tang Yi had split from the North District candidates' group for the sole purpose of coming here to cause trouble, hadn't he?
These people had infiltrated the West Mansion to carry out their scheme. They had even pursued Mu Xianling and the other two girls with ill intent. How could Tang Yi let them run rampant? How could he not retaliate?
Tang Yi had learned from Jiao Zhiming that Hex Anmin and the other infiltrators would be opening some kind of altar here today and collecting the so-called 'Saint Spirit Blood'. That's why he had arrived early to wait.
After Hex Anmin opened the altar, summoned that giant cross, and collected the so-called 'Saint Spirit Blood', Tang Yi shot out with incredible Speed and snatched the item from Hex Anmin's hand.
At this moment, Tang Yi was immensely satisfied. He had not only thwarted the plot of these Heaven-Devouring Sect disciples but had also snatched a treasure.
Looking at the crystalline Blood Bead inside the brocade box in his hand, Tang Yi broke into a brilliant smile.
'I'd like to see just what kind of treasure this 'Saint Spirit Blood' is,' he thought. 'The Heaven-Devouring Sect paid an enormous price for it, sending in countless spies, expending immense Heart Power to infiltrate the West Mansion, and even colluding with its upper echelons just to get it!'
The Celestial Eye Technique could appraise all things under heaven. Since Tang Yi didn't know what the 'Saint Spirit Blood' was, and Jiao Zhiming hadn't known either when asked, he might as well just have the Celestial Eye Technique appraise it.
With that thought, Tang Yi cast his Celestial Eye Technique on the Blood Bead.
Name: Saint Spirit Blood Grade: Lower Grade.
Description: This is the essence blood of the Ancient Saint Zuoqiu, containing the very core of his Power! In ancient times, the founder of the West Mansion fought a battle to the death with the Saint Zuoqiu. In the end, Zuoqiu was defeated and died at the hands of the West Mansion's founder. At the moment of his death, Zuoqiu preserved a drop of his Heart's Blood within his heart, keeping it alive in the hopes of making a comeback. Unfortunately, he was sealed within the Little Extreme Sacred Land by the West Mansion's founder.
Effectiveness: 1. Can be consumed orally to increase one's Martial Arts Cultivation by a certain amount. (Note: The Power of the Saint Spirit Blood is immense. Do not consume it directly if your strength is insufficient.)
2. Can be used in alchemy. When added to Pills, it can raise their grade, allowing for the refinement of Top-Grade Pills.
3. Can be used in Artifact Refining. When added to Weapon Equipment, it can raise its Level, allowing for the creation of Super-Top-Grade Sacred Artifacts.
4. Resurrection. The Saint Spirit Blood is the blood of Zuoqiu. It can be used to awaken Zuoqiu and restore him to his full Power as a Saint!
5. Saint Creation. By using the Saint Spirit Blood with a certain special method, it is possible to forcibly raise a Martial Artist's strength to the Pseudo-Saint Level!
... Seeing the description of the Saint Spirit Blood's effects appear in his mind, Tang Yi's eyes went wide. He never imagined the Saint Spirit Blood would be so incredible—it was the Heart's Blood of a Saint, the very essence of his entire being!
A Saint! The title alone was incredibly Divine, to say nothing of the fact that this drop of blood was his Heart's Blood!
The value of this Blood Bead was simply immense, unbelievably rare. Just think, what Saint would willingly offer up their own Heart's Blood, the very essence of their being?
Absolutely none. Therefore, this was truly a treasure rarely seen in the world!
No wonder. No wonder the Heaven-Devouring Sect was willing to pay any price to obtain this Blood Bead...
