Clan Rise: Starting as a Grandfather Chapter 1350 - 866: Blood Pool Steward, Taking 10,000 Ghost Blood Jades (Part 3)
Previously on Clan Rise: Starting as a Grandfather...
Upon stepping into the core amid the three White Bone Pillars, he plunged once more into the Blood Pool.
The viscous sludge enveloped the soul crow, filling Yang Zhenshan with utter discomfort and urging him to plunge swiftly to the Blood Pool's depths.
After descending roughly ten zhang, a far more malevolent aura reached his senses.
Yang Zhenshan charged straight toward that ominous aura without pause.
His Spiritual Sense revealed a fist-sized red crystal stone shaped like a heart.
After a quick inspection showing no threats, Yang Zhenshan activated the Pocket World Passage. He avoided direct contact with the blood jade, employing Heart Hand instead to yank it instantly into the Spirit Source Land.
The instant the blood jade was seized, the Blood Pool churned with savage fury.
As if awakening to life, the Blood Pool morphed into piercing arrows that hurtled toward the soul crow.
A sharp pang struck his consciousness, and Yang Zhenshan yanked his awareness back from the soul crow at once.
In a barren woodland of the Spirit Source Land's northern region, Yang Zhenshan eyed the Ten Thousand Ghost Blood Jade darkly as it pulsed with ghostly crimson light.
A blood-red glow swirled around it, dimly displaying hideous souls thrashing in torment inside.
Meanwhile, a vicious, bone-chilling aura radiated outward, withering nearby flora and lending a reddish tint even to the stones.
"Damn, what the hell is this thing!"
Yang Zhenshan watched as the Ten Thousand Ghost Blood Jade morphed into a Blood Pool, expanding everywhere while corroding plants and rocks around it, tainting them with Blood Evil Qi.
"Golden Crow! Burn it for me!"
Yang Zhenshan summoned the Golden Crow Eight Trigrams Furnace. The Golden Crow glanced at the blood jade and cried out, "Eh, this is Devouring Spirit Blood Jade! But it seems contaminated by Blood Evil Qi!"
"You know this thing; can you destroy it for me?" Yang Zhenshan asked.
"Indeed, Devouring Spirit Blood Jade is a Second Rank Top Grade spiritual material that can be used to refine Pure Blood Pills and to refine artifacts! It’s an extremely rare spiritual material! Master, isn’t it a pity to destroy it?" Golden Crow replied.
"What else can be done? It’s releasing Blood Evil Qi!" Yang Zhenshan said.
"Just throw it into the furnace to refine away the Blood Evil Qi, and then the Devouring Spirit Blood Jade can still be used for artifact refining!" Golden Crow suggested.
Yang Zhenshan’s eyes lit up. "Can we do that?"
"Of course, True Sun Fire can refine away Blood Evil Qi!" Golden Crow boasted proudly.
Without delay, Yang Zhenshan hurled the blood jade into the Golden Crow Eight Trigrams Furnace upon hearing this.
"Release a mouthful of True Fire!"
The Golden Crow let out a mighty cry, unleashing True Sun Fire in a flash.
Fierce golden flames roared at the furnace's base. Though Yang Zhenshan couldn't tell the blood jade's condition inside, the pervasive Blood Evil Qi around vanished instantly.
Watching this, Yang Zhenshan let out a heavy breath of relief; he had truly feared this item would corrupt the entire Spirit Source Land.
"Master, refining out the Blood Evil Qi will take roughly three days—uh, and it needs thirty thousand Spirit Stones too!" Golden Crow added.
"Do I need to do anything else?"
"Probably not! This isn’t alchemy, just needs Fire Control." Golden Crow cocked its head in thought.
Yang Zhenshan gave a small nod. "Alright, here’s the Spirit Stones—go refine it!"
Unsure himself how to deal with it, he entrusted the task fully to the Golden Crow.
The Golden Crow proved utterly dependable; nothing ever went wrong under its watch.
Afterward, he left the Golden Crow atop the barren hill and continued pursuing Xuanzhen’s Jade Token.
