The ancient histories of the two great powers were extremely old, having dominated South Marsh for several epochs. It was rumored that they were even stronger than the Hengtian Immortal Dynasty, the Zhulu Sacred Gate, and the Qingxuan Immortal Dynasty.
Of course, these were merely rumors, as the major powers had rarely clashed. The reason for this was a shared preference of these two races: they enjoyed consuming humans. Consequently, very few humans survived within the Hengtian Immortal Dynasty and the Zhulu Immortal Dynasty.
"Those figures should be the Ya Yu beings!"
On a street, Wei Xiaokuan pointed ahead to a few figures. Although they had transformed into human form, their heads were still draconic.
"The Ya Yu clan has dragon heads and cat bodies, and they like to eat humans!"
"Hmph!"
Dian Wei let out an angry roar.
"If there's an opportunity, we'll definitely sweep away this Blackwater Immortal Dynasty!"
"Don't worry about them for now. The Great Han Divine Dynasty hasn't even established a foothold in the Western Frontier. Meng Tian, how much further is Gu Yi Zhai?"
Yang Hao patted Dian Wei's shoulder and said with a grave expression.
"It's at the end of the road ahead, turn left, and the first nine-story pagoda is it!"
Meng Tian pointed ahead.
"Let's go! See if there's anything good!"
As Yang Hao entered the first floor of Gu Yi Zhai's pagoda, the few individuals' eyes immediately lit up. The spiritual materials and beast bones sold on the first floor all started at the Saint realm.
After a brief look, they went directly to the sixth floor. The spiritual materials, elixirs, and cultivation methods sold on the sixth floor were all at the Supreme realm.
Upon reaching the sixth floor, the number of beings sharply decreased, and the space was quite sparse.
"Divine Emperor! Look, that's the Emperor's Flowing Nectar produced by a demon race stepping into the Supreme realm!" Dian Wei said, looking ahead.
"Supreme realm Emperor's Flowing Nectar can further excavate the potential of the demon race and improve the cultivation talent of beings. Even humans can use it to increase divine power and nourish divine fire!"
Wei Xiaokuan looked at the Emperor's Flowing Nectar with some shock. "One portion of Emperor's Flowing Nectar requires a hundred spiritual materials of 300,000 years!"
"One hundred spiritual materials of 300,000 years, that's a bit expensive."
Yu Meng Tian shook his head as he looked at the price.
"Let's look at other things first."
Yang Chen swept his gaze. The Emperor's Flowing Nectar wouldn't have a significant effect on the Great Han heroes.
There was no need to waste resources on this.
"Divine Emperor, look, that's the formula for the Crystal Blood Elixir!"
After bypassing the Emperor's Flowing Nectar and wandering in the depths of the sixth floor for half an hour, Meng Tian suddenly said in a deep voice.
"It is indeed the Crystal Blood Elixir!"
Yang Hao stopped and looked at the unremarkable scroll that Meng Tian pointed to.
The Crystal Blood Elixir was extremely expensive to refine.
It required the vital blood of a Saint Lord realm being as a catalyst, plus ten portions of million-year-old beast bones.
Million-year-old beast bones were manageable, but obtaining the vital blood of a Saint Lord realm being was difficult. Each drop of vital blood extracted required long-term replenishment and repair.
Although the refinement was quite costly, after consumption, beings could further temper their physical bodies and stabilize their primordial spirits!
Beings in the Saint Lord realm already possessed terrifyingly powerful physiques. The Crystal Blood Elixir could further enhance them by another third, demonstrating its extraordinary efficacy!
Yang Hao first encountered the Crystal Blood Elixir five years ago in Yaoguang City (the former imperial capital of the Yaoguang Divine Dynasty). He had purchased one from Gu Yi Zhai. Sun Simiao had studied it for several years and had only managed to comprehend about seventy to eighty percent of it.
"Meng Tian, go and purchase it. After you buy it, don't wait for me. Go directly to the teleportation array and wait for me!"
Yang Hao glanced at the beings in the hall. The beings here were all from influential backgrounds, so it was better to remain low-key.
"Yes." Meng Tian accepted the order. After lingering in the hall for dozens of breaths, he entered to purchase the Crystal Blood Elixir formula. After completing the purchase, he left Gu Yi Zhai directly.
Even so, quite a few Supreme realm powerhouses had been watching Meng Tian. Upon seeing that he was purchasing the Crystal Blood Elixir formula, they gave up on following him.
Half an hour later.
"Let's go, we don't have many spiritual materials left!"
Yang Hao said, looking at the sixth floor.
Wei Xiaokuan and Dian Wei also nodded. The Great Han Divine Dynasty was, after all, a vast kingdom with significant national treasury expenditures.
The three of them left Gu Yi Zhai and headed towards the teleportation array. Their destination was the founding ceremony, but they were merely passing through Zhulu City.
"Young master, do you want a human woman?"
As Yang Hao was walking, a man with a vulgar appearance and dark complexion approached him and whispered, "Young master, do you want a human woman? She's very beautiful!"
"I paid a great price to obtain her from the Beiyou Yunshi Immortal Dynasty!"
"Hmm?"
Yang Hao glanced at the man, a hint of displeasure in his brows. "A human woman from the Yunshi Immortal Dynasty?"
"Yes!"
The man whispered and handed Yang Hao a portrait.
The woman in the portrait was indeed as he described, with a delicate appearance, rare among humans.
Even the grime from prolonged lack of washing couldn't conceal her exquisite beauty.
"Young master, this woman is extraordinary. I heard she is a princess of the current Yunshi Immortal Dynasty!"
The man looked around cautiously and said, "Young master, do you want her? I heard she also has the bloodline of a True Phoenix." Su Dan Novel Network
"Oh!"
"What's the price?"
Yang Hao sneered. Who was he kidding? The True Phoenix clan had long been extinct. Otherwise, the Primordial Mountains wouldn't have submitted to the Great Han back then.
"Heh heh, if the young master truly desires her, a Supreme realm cultivation technique will suffice!"
The vulgar man's eyes suddenly gleamed.
"Presumptuous!"
"A Supreme realm cultivation technique, you actually have the nerve to ask for that!"
Dian Wei glared at the vulgar man.
"Heh heh!"
"Sir, you jest. It's just a transaction, no forcing. Fair trade. I, ah, only wanted to trade with you because you are humans. If it were another race, I could still make the trade."
"But then, this human woman's life..."
The man showed no fear, crossing his arms and smiling at Yang Hao and the others.
A Saint Lord realm being, facing the quasi-Supreme experts Dian Wei and Wei Xiaokuan without any fear, indicated that he had experienced many significant events.
"Have you considered it?"
"You are right behind Gu Yi Zhai. I'm not worried about finding a buyer?"
"Several young masters, this woman has a noble status. She is a废公主 (retired princess) of the Yunshi Immortal Dynasty. Although she is a retired princess, she is still from the imperial lineage of the Yunshi Immortal Dynasty!"
"The ancestors of the Yunshi Immortal Dynasty once intermarried with the True Phoenix clan. Did you doubt me when I said she had the True Phoenix bloodline? It's just hard to say how deep it is or if it can awaken!"
"Where is the transaction?"
Yang Hao asked.
He had a large collection of Supreme realm cultivation techniques. He had obtained many from the forces in the Demon Sea Marsh and through blind boxes.
Yang Hao didn't care about the woman's background at all. What he wanted was the True Phoenix bloodline within her. If it could be activated and awakened, she would undoubtedly be incredibly powerful.
