Chapter 178 - Chapter 178: crimson blood amber in the Secret Chamber

[The secret chamber was carpeted with the remains of Spirit Beasts, and at a glance, these remains all belonged to powerful Spirit Beasts.]

[Their blood vitality and spirit power had combined to form a layer of blood-colored crystals within the stone walls of the secret chamber.]

[From this, one could see just how many Spirit Beasts had died in this place.]

["This... why are there so many Spirit Beasts here?"]

[Confusion flashed in the Grand Elder's eyes.]

[Logically speaking, even if there were some Heaven-Defying Immortal Herb here, those Spirit Beasts would have consumed it and it would be gone.]

[Once the immortal grade herb vanished, Spirit Beasts naturally wouldn't come here anymore, so there shouldn't be such an accumulation of skeletal remains at all.]

["It's likely that the immortal grade herb here isn't something that can be consumed casually."]

[Gravity flashed in Yu Xiaogang's eyes.]

[To cause so many Ten-Thousand-Year Spirit Beasts to die here, what kind of new-grade herb could it possibly be?]

[Yu Xiaogang searched through all the records of Immortal Herbs in his mind, but found that not a single one matched the scene before him.]

["Grand Elder, I'm going in to check the situation."]

[Yu Xiaogang glanced at the Grand Elder. Seeing that the Grand Elder wanted to say something, he immediately added:]

["It's unknown how long this place has been formed; it's unlikely there are any living Spirit Beasts left inside."]

["As for the immortal grade herb inside, I won't consume it directly, and I'll keep holding my breath after going in. It'll be fine."]

["Besides, I do have life-saving skills."]

[Hearing Yu Xiaogang's words, the Grand Elder thought for a moment and finally nodded.]

["Alright then, we'll go in together."]

[And so, Yu Xiaogang and the Grand Elder entered the secret chamber together.]

[After entering the secret chamber, Yu Xiaogang held his breath, used a light orb to illuminate the surroundings, and began searching within the cave.]

[The Grand Elder, following beside Yu Xiaogang, remained no more than two or three steps away, constantly monitoring Yu Xiaogang's condition.]

[The only one who was relatively relaxed was probably Little Dragon.]

[After entering the cave, it was as if it had entered some kind of heaven, constantly flying up and down, breathing in the blood vitality of the Spirit Beasts that permeated the air.]

["Awoo! (≧▽≦)ノ→→"]

[Suddenly, as if sniffing out some treasure, Little Dragon came before Yu Xiaogang and pointed directly in one direction, nearly pulling Yu Xiaogang along.]

[Seeing this reaction from Little Dragon, Yu Xiaogang and the Grand Elder exchanged a look, and then the two followed behind Little Dragon toward that direction.]

[Before walking for long, Yu Xiaogang keenly discovered that the remains beneath his feet had become denser.]

[Seeing this, he roughly understood that the treasure within this cave was just ahead.]

[Thus, Yu Xiaogang pulled himself together.]

[Arriving at the very front of the remains, what met his eyes was not some immortal grade herb, but two crystal-clear pieces of amber.]

[Two pieces of crimson amber, each about the size of a palm.]

["Xiaogang... what exactly are those things? Why... why did I feel an urgent desire to get my hands on them the first moment I saw them?"]

[The Grand Elder's somewhat stuttering voice came through. While speaking, his gaze remained fixed intently on the two pieces of amber.]

[This longing did not stem from himself, but from his Spirit.]

["I don't know the specific effects of that amber, but I know what kind of treasure it is."]

[Yu Xiaogang, who actually felt the same way in his heart, was also staring at the two pieces of amber.]

["crimson blood amber."]

["This is an extremely rare treasure. According to the information provided by Yue Guan, a Spirit Douluo, the difficulty of its formation is even greater than that of an Immortal Herb."]

["The environment must be suitable, and the blood of a Spirit Beast must happen to fall into the amber. Finally, the amber must undergo an unknown number of years of sedimentation before it can eventually form."]

["However, even so, not every piece of crimson blood amber is valuable."]

["After all, the value of crimson blood amber is mainly determined by the condition of the blood within it. If it's a crimson blood amber formed from a Ten Year Soul Beast, then it's just a decoration."]

["But if the blood in the crimson blood amber comes from some powerful Spirit Beast, then its value is extraordinary."]

[Yu Xiaogang looked at the two pieces of crimson blood amber before him. All the previous signs indicated that these two were that extraordinary kind of crimson blood amber.]

["According to Yue Guan's data, a crimson blood amber formed from the blood of a Hundred Thousand Year Soul Beast once appeared on the Douluo Continent, and it was bought by a wealthy merchant."]

["That merchant's son, who had an Innate Spirit Power of rank two, relied on that crimson blood amber to change his fate against the heavens and eventually became a Titled Douluo."]

[Hearing this, the Grand Elder was shocked.]

["That's impossible, right? Even for a Hundred Thousand Year Soul Beast, its blood shouldn't possess the effect of allowing someone with rank two Innate Spirit Power to become a Titled Douluo?"]

[If the blood of a Hundred Thousand Year Soul Beast had the effect of changing one's fate against the heavens, then the major powers on the continent would surely collect it.]

[Although Hundred Thousand Year Soul Beasts were strong, they weren't so strong that Titled Douluo couldn't match them.]

[So getting some blood from a Hundred Thousand Year Soul Beast wouldn't be difficult at all.]

[Of course, that's provided one could find traces of a Hundred Thousand Year Soul Beast.]

[Hearing this, Yu Xiaogang explained somewhat helplessly.]

["First of all, the Spirit Beast blood sealed in amber is already a different thing from the original blood by the time the crimson blood amber is formed."]

["The resin that can seal Spirit Beast blood and form amber is no ordinary resin."]

["This resin must come from a plant-type Spirit Beast."]

["And after the resin envelops the Spirit Beast blood, through years of accumulation, the blood and resin undergo mutual transformation and reactions, producing all sorts of wonderful changes."]

["To put it simply, the blood is no longer blood, and the resin is no longer resin."]

["The blood from an animal-type Spirit Beast and the resin from a plant-type Spirit Beast, under long-term mutual influence, both strip away their own characteristics, leaving only an amber that integrates the nutrients of both!"]

["And during this process, the spirit power of heaven and earth also continuously joins this reaction."]

["In short, Grand Elder, you can just treat this crimson blood amber as something similar to those immortal grade herbs outside."]

[Yu Xiaogang briefly educated the Grand Elder on the situation of crimson blood amber.]

[Of course, that was for ordinary crimson blood amber.]

[Yu Xiaogang looked at the two pieces of crimson blood amber before him.]

[The situation of these two was quite different from ordinary crimson blood amber.]

[Not to mention the quality of these two pieces of crimson blood amber themselves, the fact that they could attract so many Ten-Thousand-Year Spirit Beasts was enough to prove their quality was extraordinary.]

[In addition, with so many Ten-Thousand-Year Spirit Beasts dying here, their blood vitality had also nourished this crimson blood amber to a certain extent.]

[Even if the Spirit Beast blood inside this crimson blood amber only came from a Ten Year Soul Beast.]

[Under the nourishment of the blood vitality of so many Ten-Thousand-Year Spirit Beasts, its efficacy wouldn't be much worse than those immortal grade herbs outside.]
