Inside the room.
Xiao Long seemed somewhat hesitant.
He knew absolutely nothing about alchemy.
He had heard of the value of the Grade 8 Treasure Pill, but even with his status as a mid-level Martial Emperor and the title of Great Xia War General, he couldn't afford the cost of it.
"Or maybe we should just forget it, I..."
"Commander Xiao, I've already made a promise to heal your injuries. If you refuse me, people will laugh at us."
Lin Jinglong comforted him over the phone.
Xiao Long wanted to say something more, but Wu Yuehan stopped him and whispered words of advice to him.
Lin Jinglong then contacted Situ Xue.
After stating your requirements.
Situ Xue readily agreed.
"Don't worry, Mr. Lin, I will bring the materials and go there in person. It will take me no more than half an hour!"
"That's good."
Lin Jinglong silently put down the phone.
Wu Dongren looked at him suspiciously.
"Who did you call? In the entire capital, apart from the Elder Council and the Hidden World Alliance, only Dark Star Auction House can gather these materials in a short time."
"Head Manager of Dark Star Auction House Kyoto Branch".
Lin Jinglong explained with a smile.
Wu Dongren pondered for a moment.
He immediately let out a sneer.
"Are you kidding me? The head manager of the auction house in Kyoto is Situ Xue, the young master of the entire auction house. With her status, you think you can have her personally prepare the materials for you?"
"She will not only prepare the materials herself, but she will also deliver them herself. Just wait and see if you don't believe me."
"you……"
Wu Dongren felt like his head was about to explode.
He saw Lin Jinglong as his rival in pursuing Ye Qingzhu, but after the initial competition, he had to admit it.
The Nine Needles of the Medicine King, which he himself had mastered to the highest level.
It's actually inferior to Lin Jinglong's Thirteen Needles of Guigu!
Lin Jinglong now has to use his alchemy skills, compete with him in terms of connections, and has even brought up Situ Xue.
Isn't this a devastating blow to him?
"Damn it, if I can't beat him in every aspect, what right do I have to compete with him for Ye Qingzhu? Is this guy perhaps the imperial prodigy of a hidden family, or the illegitimate son of some senior elder?"
Wu Dongren was starting to have a headache.
Not long after, before his men had returned, several low-profile black cars rushed to the entrance of the Marshal's Mansion.
Situ Xue, radiant and wearing an elegant black dress, her slightly curled long hair swaying with her graceful figure, strode into Xiao Shuai's residence.
He was followed by more than a dozen men.
She carefully held the exquisite jade box in her hands.
Situ Xue had just come out of the ruins, and it was because of this that she was in a particularly good mood, as she had explored the ruins with Qian Shi.
In addition to the bronze hall on the mountaintop, they discovered...
The entire ruins contain many treasures from the ancient Heavenly Silkworm Sect, and in terms of value, they exceed one million Dark Star Points!
Based on the performance of Dark Star Auction House within the ruins, Lin Jinglong had previously agreed to allocate 30% of the shares to them, which amounted to 300,000 points!
In addition, the timing of Qian's defection to Lin Jinglong was perfect, and despite paying the price of more than ten lives in the ruins, he also obtained a 20% share.
The remaining 50% was taken by Lin Jinglong.
If that were all, Situ Xue wouldn't be so happy. But everything in the entire ruins ultimately has to go through the Dark Star Auction House to be converted into points.
As a result, the resources available to their Kyoto branch will far exceed those of previous years, and the profits they can extract will be an immeasurable astronomical figure.
Therefore, Situ Xue was extremely grateful to Lin Jinglong.
She personally led more than ten subordinates, carrying the jade box in both hands, into the ward. Upon seeing Lin Jinglong, she behaved with great respect.
"Greetings, Mr. Lin! Greetings, Commander Xiao!"
Situ Xue stepped forward to greet her.
She glanced at Ge Ling'er again, who was sitting in the corner of the room looking utterly dejected, and noticed a clear look of fear in her eyes.
She saw it with her own eyes.
Inside the ruins, Ge Ling'er punched the ninth-rank patriarch of the Qin family into a meatball with just a few punches; the scene was too gruesome to bear.
Later, it was even more obstructed by the Emperor-level.
They slaughtered over a hundred elite members of the Imperial Blood Clan.
Situ Xue only glanced at her secretly; she didn't even dare to speak to Ge Ling'er before silently looking away.
"You arrived quickly, have you gathered everything?"
Lin Jinglong stepped forward to examine the jade box.
Looking at Situ Xue's stunningly beautiful face and her respectful attitude towards Lin Jinglong, Wu Dongren stood to the side, mouth agape, completely petrified once again.
He actually managed to bring Situ Xue here!
Wu Dongren's worldview was once again severely impacted.
Lin Jinglong carefully examined nearly twenty kinds of medicinal herbs, but finally returned to Situ Xue with a frown.
"Where is the Qilin blood?"
Situ Xue's expression froze instantly.
She said awkwardly, "I'm sorry, Mr. Lin, even the Dark Star Auction House can't find this kind of bloodline essence left by ancient divine beasts in such a short time."
Lin Jinglong was already starting to get annoyed.
She quickly tried to salvage the situation.
"Mr. Lin, rest assured, Elder Shenji is hosting a treasure exchange meeting at Dark Star Manor today, with hundreds of collectors from all walks of life participating. They specialize in collecting all kinds of rare and precious treasures. I have already asked Elder Shenji to make contact, and he has already found out who has collected the Lin Blood!"
Lin Jinglong pondered upon hearing this.
This can't be blamed on Situ Xue. After all, Qilin blood, like dragon blood, is an extremely rare ancient divine beast. In this day and age, every drop used is one less available.
"Alright, the difficulty in making an eighth-grade precious pill is not the refining method, but the difficulty in gathering the materials. I will go with you to Wu Shenji's treasure exchange meeting. I hope that collector will be willing to sell me the blood of the unicorn."
Lin Jinglong decided to take matters into his own hands.
To prevent any accidents from happening.
Xiao Longyi treated Wu Yuehan for her sake. He had helped her a lot in her military career, which enabled her to become the Spirit Martial God of War at a young age.
Secondly, because Xiao Long is a respectable person.
Even without any reward, Lin Jinglong was willing to help a veteran who had fought on the battlefield for decades and had made outstanding contributions to enjoy his old age.
Wu Dongren finally breathed a sigh of relief.
"So even the Dark Star Auction House can't gather all the materials. It seems this guy can't even meet the prerequisites if he wants to refine an eighth-grade treasure pill."
Wu Dongren thought to himself with schadenfreude.
He later said he would accompany them.
They went to the Dark Star Auction House together with Lin Jinglong.
"I'd like to see just how influential you are to be able to buy Qilin blood from a top collector. That's a sacred artifact!"
"Besides, even if you could buy it, you still couldn't refine an eighth-grade treasure pill. Otherwise, my life would have been wasted!"
"Absolutely impossible!"
Wu Dongren was filled with resentment after being repeatedly proven wrong.
He eagerly followed Lin Jinglong on his journey.
Besides, Wu Yuehan stayed in the ward to take care of Xiao Long, and Ge Ling'er, too lazy to move, also stayed at the Xiao residence.
Only Ye Qingzhu said she wanted to go along and broaden her horizons.
At Situ Xue's invitation, the three of them got into the same car, while Wu Dongren could only bring his bodyguards and silently follow behind as a third wheel.
