I am really not a medical immortal.-Chapter 1591 - 1590: Acquiring Essence Blood Again
"Good! If it truly is as you say, then I will agree to your terms! Once we obtain the blood of the Titan Giant Ape, I will give you one-fifth!" Zhang Xiaohao said.
"I hope you won’t break your word, otherwise, even if it means my death, I won’t let you off!" Zha Muzhen replied.
During the conversation, he relaxed his mind, signaling Zhang Xiaohao that he could begin.
Wasting no time, Zhang Xiaohao thought of the Cultivation Technique, which contains a powerful soul restriction. Once planted, unless the spellcaster personally unlocks it using the Cultivation Technique, even beings in the Mahayana Realm can’t break the soul restriction.
Presently, Zhang Xiaohao formed hand seals according to the restriction method recorded in the Cultivation Technique. His hand seals continuously changed, forming a strange, profound golden talisman in the air.
"Go—!" Zhang Xiaohao shouted. The golden talisman spun and swiftly entered the depths of Zha Muzhen’s soul.
"Hand over half of your spirit blood!" Zhang Xiaohao commanded.
"Yes, Lord!" After the soul restriction was planted, Zha Muzhen’s tone became respectful, adjusting his attitude.
Immediately, he formed hand seals, preparing to force out half of his spirit blood using a Secret Technique.
Suddenly, his expression changed, filled with fear and disbelief.
"How can this be? Lord, my spirit blood inexplicably disappeared by half!" Zha Muzhen cried out in shock.
"You don’t need to look for it; your other half of the spirit blood was taken by me during the battle just now." Zhang Xiaohao said casually.
"Ah! If that’s the case, Lord, I can’t possibly hand over the spirit blood even if I wanted to!" Zha Muzhen said with a bitter smile.
He truly hadn’t thought that during the previous battle, half of his spirit blood had been quietly taken by Zhang Xiaohao.
"Is there really no way? Or should I take it myself?" Zhang Xiaohao said with a playful look.
Under Zhang Xiaohao’s indifferent gaze, Zha Muzhen’s heart tightened. He gritted his teeth and said,
"Lord, there is a way! But you must return my storage bag. Inside is a Phoenix Nirvana Grass. With its help, I can hand over the remaining half of my spirit blood! Otherwise, if I use the Secret Technique again, retrieving half of the spirit blood will harm my foundation. Even if I can recover, it will take hundreds or even thousands of years, potentially delaying your business!" Zha Muzhen explained.
Zhang Xiaohao gave him a cold glance, patted his waist, and tossed his storage bag back to him.
"Thank you, Lord!" Zha Muzhen respectfully saluted.
He focused his mind, and a fiery red jade box appeared in his palm, made entirely of phoenix wood, emitting a strong fire element.
With a single point, the fiery red jade box opened, revealing the Phoenix Nirvana Grass within!
The Phoenix Nirvana Grass was only three inches tall and looked ordinary, differing from regular grass only in color.
Zha Muzhen pinched the Phoenix Nirvana Grass and swallowed it.
Swish swish swish!!!
As the Phoenix Nirvana Grass entered his stomach, terrifying fire element power filled his body.
Seeing this, Zha Muzhen dared not delay, and with a low roar,
"Spirit blood, appear—!"
With his words, crimson Bloodline Power appeared in his chest, and shortly after, an egg-sized ball of spirit blood floated in the air.
Thud!
As the egg-sized spirit blood left his body, Zha Muzhen collapsed on the ground, pale-faced, as if gravely ill.
"These are for you!" Zhang Xiaohao waved his hand and tossed over a storage bag filled with elixirs for stabilization and healing.
"Thank you for your generosity, Lord—!" Zha Muzhen said weakly.
He retrieved the storage bag, poured out all the elixirs, and swallowed them.
Then, sitting cross-legged, he immediately activated his Cultivation Technique to heal his injuries.
Zhang Xiaohao grabbed the egg-sized spirit blood in his hand, then followed it with another grab, revealing a human-sized spirit blood in his palm, merging the two.
Hiss!
The two spirit bloods trembled and instantly fused, forming a sphere larger than a human fist, floating in the air.
The air was filled with intense spatial fluctuations and a powerful pressure.
"Not bad! If I refine this spirit blood, can I acquire his spatial talent?" Zhang Xiaohao’s eyes flashed, calculating inwardly.
He flipped his palm to store the fist-sized spirit blood, as now wasn’t the time for refining.
Then he sat on the chair, picking up his wine cup to eat again.
Two hours quickly passed.
Zha Muzhen completed his healing. Although still pale, he looked much better than before, stood up from the ground, and respectfully saluted Zhang Xiaohao, then took out a golden brocade box.
"Lord, this contains the secret realm map with the Titan Giant Ape’s blood!"
"Mm!" Zhang Xiaohao nodded.
He took the golden brocade box, opened it, revealing a golden sheepskin map with a desolate aura.
He pinched the golden sheepskin map and checked it with Divine Thought.
After a while, Zhang Xiaohao retrieved his Divine Thought and placed the golden sheepskin map back in the golden brocade box, then stored it in the Shennong Ring.
"You may leave now." Zhang Xiaohao instructed.
"Yes, Lord!" Zha Muzhen responded respectfully, retreating outside.
After he left, Zhang Xiaohao calmly said,
"What do you think of this matter?"
"Lord, as far as I can tell, he speaks the truth! Besides, he has relaxed his mind for you to plant a restriction in his soul, leaving his life or death in your sole discretion. If he dares act up, it would be tantamount to courting death!" the Heavenly Lady said.
"Mm." Zhang Xiaohao nodded, then asked,
"When does the Ancient Battlefield open?"
"As soon as three months, as late as a year!" the Heavenly Lady answered.
"Mm! Let’s eat. After eating, we’ll head back." Zhang Xiaohao said.
The group began eating.
Half an hour later, Zhang Xiaohao and the other two stood up from their chairs, heading outside.
"Greetings, Lord!" Upon seeing Zhang Xiaohao and the two come out, the group of yellow-clad young girls saluted respectfully.
"Let’s go!" Zhang Xiaohao beckoned, heading outside.
