131: Chapter 131 Hidden Enemy

"Oh, isn't this Alchemist Chen? With your noble status, why would you condescend to come to this filthy place?"

"Is there anything I can do for you?"

As Chen Jiancang just walked into this sewage-filled area, someone recognized him.

He looked up and saw the person speaking was wearing an animal skin apron that hadn't been washed for years, covered in bloodstains and dirt, walking towards him quickly and enthusiastically.

Before the person even got close to Chen Jiancang, a body odor more rank than the blood of a ground pig assailed him.

"You recognize me?"

Chen Jiancang couldn't help but frown tightly.

It wasn't that Chen Jiancang disliked the person; this discomfort stemmed from a physiological reaction, completely beyond his control.

"Recognize you, recognize you! You're the famous Alchemist Chen Jiancang of Xiao Yun Mountain! The Qi Gathering Pills you refine are extremely popular at Chen's Treasure Pavilion."

"Ah, my bad, my bad." The butcher also noticed Chen Jiancang's frown and quickly stopped, not minding Chen Jiancang's aversion, and stood there smiling, waiting for Chen Jiancang to speak.

After holding his breath, Chen Jiancang's expression eased, and he cupped his hands, saying, "Sorry, this bloody smell is really uncomfortable."

"Hahaha, you're used to the fragrance of spirit plants and Spirit Medicines, so naturally you can't stand this bloody smell. As for me, if this smell were gone, I wouldn't be able to stand it."

The butcher laughed heartily. Although he was covered in a bloody smell, his cheerful personality made Chen Jiancang quite pleased.

"May I know why Alchemist Chen has come here? Perhaps you could tell me, and I would be willing to serve you."

Since someone was willing to help him, Chen Jiancang naturally didn't put on airs and stated his purpose directly: "I need a large amount of demonic beast blood. I wonder if you have any here?"

"Demonic beast blood, huh? Okay, no problem. Alchemist Chen, please wait here for a moment. I'll be right back." The butcher didn't show any curiosity and agreed directly.

Before long, the butcher walked over carrying a small, bloody storage bag.

A lily was embroidered on it, but the lily was soaked in blood, making it indescribably strange.

"Alchemist Chen, the demonic beast blood you wanted, I've put it all in wooden barrels. Would you like to take a look?" The butcher casually placed the storage bag he was holding on the meat-cutting table.

"No, I won't look. How much is this demonic beast blood? I'll pay you." Chen Jiancang felt a tremor in his heart as he looked at the storage bag.

Even when he personally killed Hu Changqing and others, and blood splattered everywhere, he hadn't felt this uncomfortable.

"Haha, it's just some low-level demonic beast blood, not worth much. Alchemist Chen, just take it and use it." The butcher waved his hand and said casually.

Low-level demonic beast blood is mostly incredibly rank and cannot be consumed by human Cultivators.

However, when mixed with ordinary millet grown by Mortals, this blood can be used to feed demonic beasts, so its price is not expensive.

"This..."

Chen Jiancang didn't want to take other people's things for free.

He picked up the storage bag with his fingertips, used his spiritual sense to check the number of wooden barrels inside, and based on the price of demonic beast blood from the Main Spiritual Vein, took out 30 spiritual stones from his own storage bag and placed them on the table.

Seeing Chen Jiancang's action, the butcher didn't mind, and his hearty laughter continued non-stop.

"Hahaha, alright, alright, 30 spiritual stones it is then. This storage bag is also given to you."

Chen Jiancang looked at the sticky surface of the storage bag and didn't refuse this time.

This demonic beast blood was too rank; since it had already contaminated one storage bag, there was no need to contaminate another.

Moreover, the price of a storage bag wasn't too expensive; one could buy one for a few spiritual stones.

"Then thank you very much, I'll be leaving." Chen Jiancang didn't want to stay there for another moment at this time.

He wrapped the blood-stained storage bag in a square cloth, held it in his hand, and left the Market.

Just after Chen Jiancang left, an Ugly Woman with a fleshy face but a tiny bit of red lipstick walked out from the shop behind the butcher.

"Tu Wan, Alchemist Chen wanted demonic beast blood, why did you mix human blood into it for him?"

"Human blood is so expensive! It's not easy for us to collect human blood." The Ugly Woman's words were full of complaint.

If Chen Jiancang were here, he would definitely be too shocked to speak.

He would never have imagined that the demonic beast blood he had just bought actually contained human blood.

Tu Wan still laughed heartily, as if he could never laugh enough.

"Hahaha, do you remember the Blood Nether Vine seeds we sold before? Cultivating Blood Nether Vine requires a lot of demonic beast blood.

Since Alchemist Chen came to buy so much demonic beast blood, the Blood Nether Vine seeds must be in his hands."

"I gave him human blood so that the Blood Nether Vine can absorb some spiritual blood, which can also help the Blood Nether Vine develop consciousness as quickly as possible."

"At that time, we only need to use the Blood Soul Great Art of Object Control passed down by the Sect to easily control the second-tier spirit plant, Blood Nether Vine, for our use.

You know, a second-tier Blood Nether Vine is even more terrifying than ordinary second-tier demonic beasts."

When the Ugly Woman heard this, her eyes instantly sparkled with surprise.

Her plump body pretended to be like a young girl, and she spoke with a thick voice, feigning a delicate tone: "It still has to be you, the master of the house!

Even if the Blood Nether Vine's aura is exposed then, the Chen Family people will only suspect that Alchemist, and they will definitely not suspect you or me.

Your method of 'borrowing a chicken to lay an egg' is simply brilliant!"

"Hahaha, alright, alright.

The Elder told us to lie low here, so I have to be careful.

And that trash Blood River Old Man, it's one thing that he exposed his whereabouts, but he almost exposed both you and me too!

If it weren't for my Blood Concealment Art being proficient and hiding in this bloody place, I probably wouldn't have been able to stay hidden."

Chen Jiancang still didn't know that the butcher he felt was hearty was actually part of the same group as Blood River Old Man, who had caused a disturbance in Xiao Yun Mountain before and was captured by the Law Enforcement Hall.

They were all hidden in the shadows, wanting to overthrow the Chen Family's Family enemies.

Chen Jiancang returned to the Spirit Field, scooped the demonic beast blood he had just bought with a ladle, and evenly sprinkled it on the germinated Blood Nether Vine seeds.

Slightly different from yesterday's watering, these seeds, upon sensing the blood, frantically absorbed the blood components from the soil even more than yesterday.

The net-like veins continuously absorbed the demonic beast blood that Chen Jiancang poured.

Soon, Chen Jiancang discovered something unusual.

These Blood Nether Vine seeds seemed picky; they first absorbed a portion of the blood in the soil completely, and only when they sensed there was no other blood did they reluctantly absorb the remaining blood.

Although Chen Jiancang noticed the anomaly, he didn't pay too much attention to it, simply thinking it was because the demonic beast blood was different.

After the Blood Nether Vine had eaten and drunk its fill, Chen Jiancang placed the storage bag containing the blood on a bluestone slab by the edge of the field before leaving the Spirit Field.
