“You want to take away ten million drops of divine blood? Impossible. After hundreds of thousands of years, not much divine blood still remains in the Blood G.o.d’s corpse. If we don’t use it sparingly, it’ll be dried out quickly. An ancient sect will definitely weaken without the support of divine blood.”

Elder Yuan Xing’s att.i.tude was definite. It was like Zhang Ruochen had to cross over his dead body in order to get the ten million drops of divine blood.

Elder Yuan Zhou wiped the sweat from his forehead. “Divine blood is incredibly strong. One drop can shatter a mountain. If it is dropped on a Hundred-pattern Saint Weapon, the weapon can be penetrated. There is nothing that can even contain ten million drops of divine blood.”

“I think otherwise.” Zhang Ruochen took out a small jar made out of wood from the Divine Sky-connecting Tree. Holding it in his hand, he said, “Use this. It’s enough to contain divine blood.”

Elder Yuan Xing had created the Time and s.p.a.ce Martial Deity Print, which was of wood element. Thus, he was very sensitive to wood elemental spiritual treasures. The wooden jar in Gu Linfeng’s hands definitely wasn’t a typical wooden treasure. The wood contained very mysterious Rules of Saintly Way.

He practically s.n.a.t.c.hed the half-inch-tall wooden jar from Zhang Ruochen’s hands.

“This…this is…it can’t be…”

Elder Yuan Xing studied the patterns in the wood. He also put in a shred of Holy Qi to investigate the wood element inside the jar.

As an old thing who’d lived for centuries, Elder Yuan Xing was obviously well-learned. He already had some guesses, but he found it hard to believe.

Elder Yuan Zhou was stunned. He’d never seen Yuan Xing lose his calm like this. “What is this?” he asked curiously. “Is it a jar made out of an ancient sacred tree?”

An ancient sacred tree was worth cities. Any piece of bark peeled off was as valuable as a saint stone.

If Gu Linfeng’s jar was really made out of the wood from an ancient sacred tree, then it could be sold for a shocking price of a few hundred saint stones.

Elder Yuan Xing shook his head. Unable to hide his shock, he looked at Zhang Ruochen. “Is this…” he said, voice trembling, “made from the wood of the legendary Divine Sky-connecting Tree?”

“Yes.”

Zhang Ruochen looked very calm as if this was nothing. After all, the Divine Sky-connecting Tree was huge in the scroll world. It could create millions of jars. They were as cheap as cabbage.

Plus, the Qi of the tree was all used to grow new divine trees and had already been used up. To Zhang Ruochen, the wood from the tree wasn’t very valuable.

“I received this batch of jars made from the Divine Sky-connecting Tree by chance,” Zhang Ruochen added. “Unfortunately, the Qi of the divine tree was completely gone. I can only use it to store saintly blood and divine blood.”

Elder Yuan Xing was so excited that his eyes seemed to burn. “Who told you that the wood loses value after the divine Qi is gone? This is the Divine Sky-connecting Tree’s wood. Even without the Qi, it’s still a huge treasure for creating pills and weapons.

“When creating a divine pill, you can add some of the wood’s dust to increase the pill’s medical abilities. When creating a saint weapon, adding the wood not only increases the chance of success. It also improves the weapon’s power.

“Also, cultivators of the wood element only need to refine enough wood from the Divine Sky-connecting Tree for the same effect as absorbing a saintly source. It’ll be easier for them to reach the Saint Realm.”

“Really?” Zhang Ruochen was surprised. He’d actually overlooked the huge value of the Divine Sky-connecting Tree.

Actually, it was because he had too much of the wood. The more of something one had, the cheaper it seemed. He didn’t know that the pill and weapon masters of Kunlun’s Field dreamed of finding a piece of the Divine Sky-connecting Tree to create ancient divine pills and powerful saint weapons.

Gradually, Elder Yuan Xing calmed down. “Hierarch,” he said. “Where did you receive so many jars made from the Divine Sky-connecting Tree?”

Zhang Ruochen thought for a moment. Then he took close to 100 jars from his spatial ring. They varied in size and were all made from the Divine Sky-connecting Tree.

The smallest one was only the size of his palm. The biggest one was two meters tall.

Elder Yuan Xing and Yuan Zhou weren’t shocked that Zhang Ruochen had a spatial ring. After all, the entire cultivation world was gossiping that the young Hierarch was close friends with the Time and s.p.a.ce Descendant. It was very logical for him to get a spatial ring from the Time and s.p.a.ce Descendant.

However, the various jars dumbfounded them again. The two Saint Elders stared at the jars as if they were beautiful girls. They could barely stop themselves from pouncing and embracing the jars.

Zhang Ruochen chuckled. “As long as you’re willing to let me take away ten million drops of divine blood, I can give all of these jars to you.”

“No.” Elder Yuan Xing calmed down. He looked at the wooden jars on the ground and then at the Blood G.o.d’s corpse. Thinking carefully, he said, “One hundred thousand drops and nothing more.”

“Yes,” Elder Yuan Zhou said. “One hundred thousand drops is already the limit of the Blood G.o.d Sect. The most that the previous Hierarch took out was 30,000 drops. That time, he still got rejected by all the Saints in the sect.”

Even the Hierarch couldn’t do anything that he wished. The various elders of the Elder Pavilion could veto the Hierarch’s over-the-top decisions.

For example, Zhang Ruochen wanting to take away ten million drops was very over-the-top. No elder would agree to it.
