Chapter 402: The Price in Blood (2/2)

They understood his sudden urge to advance faster but they also knew that he was not going to risk getting an unsteady foundation.

Hence they were not worried about him. He knew what to do and not to do.

Xue Wei smiled as he saw them. “Let’s go then,” he said and began walking out of the courtyard.

The group made their way out of the palace and started moving into the actual capital city of the Demon Phoenix continent.

They went to the Golden Chambers where they were treated like royalty. They were actually treated even better than the royal family due to the order from above.

When they saw the things that Xue Wei had brought with them, they were very pleased. They dared not give him a low price, but they could not give him too many resources either as they still had to keep the branch afloat.

In the end they decided on giving him a fair deal of the resources he needed, but they claimed that they did not have the recipe for the rainbow pill he was looking for.

After haggling and debating for the majority of the time before noon, Xue Wei and his friends were satisfied with that they got out of it, and hurried back to the palace to share their spoils.

But just as they say foot in the palace, an eunuch game to Xue Wei’s side to tell him that the emperor had summoned him.

Nodding his head, Xue Wei followed the eunuch while the others returned to their rooms.

When Xue Wei entered the study he was slightly stunned. Inside was not only the emperor but also two other figures.

“Young one, we understand you want the thunder flame crown,” one of them said with an amiable smile on his face.

Nodding his head, Xue Wei was honest about his aim.

“We can give it to you,” the other old man followed up, ”but the price will be expensive.”

Xue Wei narrowed his eyes. Expensive? He was not willing to give away too many resources as he needed them himself so he waited to hear what they had to say.

“The big question is how much blood are you willing to sacrifice for the crown?”

“Blood?” Xue Wei’s eyes widened. We’re they interested in his blood?

He was not dumb and instantly guessed what they wanted with it. Mulling it over for some time he said, “I have only mutated one beast before. I cannot guarantee how much blood is needed for others. Why don’t we try mutate one beast first and when we have answers we will mutate a specific amount of beasts depending on how much blood is needed.”
