Phoenix Warrior of Full-Time Magister

Chapter 61 Return

After the group returned to the village, they spread the word about what had happened to them, but it didn't cause much of a stir; everyone just treated it as something to talk about over tea.

In the world of hunters, death and betrayal are commonplace.

That evening, Yunhua looked through the memories of Old Zhang and Feng Shaojie. There was nothing special about them, just two criminal records!

The secret technique Old Zhang mentioned earlier does indeed exist: the blood sacrifice technique! It uses human blood to enhance the quality of spirit seeds.

Yunhua originally thought this was just a trick Old Zhang used to deceive Feng Shaojie.

However, the effect can only be described as average, not much different from the effect of refining spirit seeds, and the success rate is not as good as that.

Unfortunately, this method is protected as a secret technique, and ordinary people cannot learn it at all, so it can only be sold as is.

It was the name of this secret technique that reminded Yunhua of the blood feeding method she had learned before.

Blood feeding, blood sacrifice... Yunhua was somewhat confused. "Do all these secret techniques have to be related to blood?"

"That's certainly very possible!" said Chi Yuan, who was lying to the side leisurely reading a comic book.

Because Chi Yuan kept asking Yun Hua to chat with it, which seriously affected Yun Hua's cultivation, Yun Hua bought a lot of books to give Chi Yuan something to do.

However, Chi Yuan dislikes history books. It says that human history is all the same to it, constantly repeating the same things, which is very boring.

Red Kite doesn't like magic books either. Red Kite says it can tell by looking at the souls collected by the Feather of Crossing Dust, so there's no need to waste time.

As a result, Chi Yuan started reading comic books, just like a child, which relieved Yun Hua of a lot of worry.

Yunhua asked Chiyuan why she said that.

Chi Yuan replied, "You never told me about the blood sacrifice method, so I don't know what it is. But I can tell that this blood sacrifice method has been passed down from a very ancient era."

At that time, humanity was weak and unable to obtain many resources. Therefore, many "clever" people turned their attention to humanity itself, as acquiring resources was simple and safe. This secret technique was likely developed during this period.

Yunhua nodded, indicating that she understood.

Then he looked at Chi Yuan and asked, "Teacher Chi Yuan, I have a question I'd like to ask you."

"Oh?" Upon hearing this, Chi Yuan immediately perked up. She even stopped reading the comic, walked straight to Yun Hua's side, put her hands on her hips, and said, "Speak, kid, what question do you want to ask the learned teacher Chi Yuan?"

Yunhua asked, "Since you know so much, do you have any secret techniques you can teach me?"

Actually, Yunhua had asked this question shortly after they met Chiyuan, but Chiyuan simply said no.

Yunhua decided to try again, but Chiyuan's answer was still the same—no!

Chi Yuan said impatiently, "Didn't I already say that my previous master fell into the demonic path, so I basically didn't see any of his soul memories from that time?"

"And what about before that? Didn't you remember anything from your previous master?"

Chi Yuan shook her head: "Although I am the incarnation of the Feather of Crossing Dust, my memories are also limited. Therefore, I periodically delete the memories I have seen, keeping only the general outline. I really don't know the specific details."

Yunhua sighed. It seemed that her plan to obtain rare skills from Chiyuan was completely ruined.

For the next month, Yunhua behaved as usual, killing monsters and selling materials every day.

As the quantity increased, Yunhua finally obtained the essence of a warrior-level being, and then sold it directly online.

Yunhua discovered that the Soul Vessel she had purchased was a defective product. Although it could collect spirit essences, the time it could preserve those essences was limited, and its effectiveness would diminish if she kept it in her possession indefinitely.

During this time, they also unexpectedly obtained a water-type spirit seed. Although its power amplification was average, it had a very peculiar characteristic: it could temporarily improve physical attributes.

Yunhua had a premonition that this might be the most valuable thing she had gained from this experience!

Yunhua didn't leave until the holiday was almost over. On her way back, she found a magic shop and sold all the magic items she had obtained, since there were none she needed there.

Upon returning to Shanghai, Yunhua first informed Dr. Mei and Klein that she was safe. Dr. Mei was very pleased and then drew a large vial of Yunhua's blood to make up for the blood she had missed while in the White Water Stream Forest.

Then Yunhua showed off the earth and water elemental seeds she had obtained, intending to sell them through Dr. Mei.

Dr. May readily agreed and then handed the matter over to Klein.

Klein said he was used to it.

Klein then took Yunhua to the China World Trade Center. There was an auction hall on the top floor of the China World Trade Center, which was usually held once a month. Yunhua had never been to such a place before, and with Klein's help, she obtained a pass.

"This auction house has restrictions. Either you have to spend a lot of money to buy a membership here, or you have to obtain a certain status. Only hunter masters in the Hunter Alliance are qualified to bid here. Other forces and families also require a certain status," Klein explained to Yunhua as he led the way.

"So, people without status can't buy magical items here even if they have money?" Yunhua said.

"Yes. The things that mages need are scarce at all levels, which is why so many people are desperate to squeeze into the upper echelons of certain forces. On the one hand, resources are extremely scarce, and not all mages are as reckless as those guys from the Hunter's Alliance who dare to go out into the wilderness to dig for gold. On the other hand, some resources that are already in Anjie have long been occupied and divided up by powerful forces and are firmly controlled," Klein said.

"Let's go, I'll add your spirit seed to the auction list; it should fetch a good price!"

Yunhua watched the entire auction. Many novel items appeared at the event, but none of them were what Yunhua wanted.

Yunhua doesn't need magical artifacts, and he already has a battle beast. What Yunhua needs most right now is a Nebula Magical Artifact, because he feels that his current cultivation speed is still a bit slow.

Unfortunately, such things are extremely rare and hard to come by. Even the four great families of Shanghai don't have many. If it were in a small family, the Nebula Magic Artifact could be considered a family treasure.

Therefore, although the sale of the spirit seed brought Yunhua more than 20 million, it did not improve his mood much.

Klein was not surprised by Yunhua's unusual behavior; even Dr. Mei would act differently each time she received research funding.

Money is truly a magical thing.
