Chapter 826 Lord of the Stars
"Are there any guardians related to the stars or the universe?" Zhou Wen muttered to himself while sitting on the sofa. It was too difficult to find a suitable guardian. The key was that Zhou Wen didn't know where those guardians were.
Zhou Wen now wants to take the little bird back to the phoenix's nest and talk to the phoenix to see if he can take a drop of its blood from the cocoon that the phoenix is guarding.
While he was thinking about it, the antelope actually came over, stood opposite Zhou Wen, and wrote on the ground with its hooves.
Zhou Wen was a little surprised. The antelope usually didn't pay much attention to him. He didn't know why it suddenly came over, so he quickly looked at the ground.
"Are you looking for a guardian related to the stars?" Antelope wrote a sentence on the ground.
"So what? Do you know where it is?" Zhou Wen asked.
"Haven't you seen it before? Why are you asking where to find it?" Antelope continued to write.
"When have I seen this before?" Zhou Wen frowned. He couldn't remember when he had seen a guardian like that.
"Not only have you seen it, but you've also carried it on your back." Antelope looked at Zhou Wen jokingly and continued writing.
"When have I ever... memorized that..." Zhou Wen suddenly realized what was happening. He stared at the antelope with wide eyes and asked, "Are you saying that there is a guardian inside that piece of wood?"
Antelope smiled at Zhou Wen and wrote, "That's a Guardian with the destiny of the Lord of the Stars. He's a top-tier Guardian. You had the chance to form a contract with him, but you messed it up. Not only did you fail to form a contract, but you also became his enemy. Do you regret it now?"
"How would I know if you didn't tell me earlier?" Zhou Wen said helplessly.
"What do you mean? You have to carry that piece of wood with you all the time. Do I have to tell you in front of others that you have to deceive her and find a way to get her?" The antelope curled his lips.
"You could have told me in advance." Zhou Wen paused, then continued, "Let's not talk about that for now. Do you have any way to help me get a drop of her blood?"
"What do you want her blood and essence for?" Antelope looked at Zhou Wen in confusion.
"I'm practicing a Qi Jue, but I don't have a special physique that matches it. I need a drop of guardian blood with the same attributes as a foundation." Zhou Wen said.
"What is the Qi Jue?" asked the antelope.
"The Art of Stealing the Sky and Substituting the Sun." Zhou Wen had no intention of hiding anything. Antelope had followed him for so long that he naturally knew that he knew many kinds of Qi techniques. There was nothing to hide.
"So it's that Heaven-stealing Technique. Using her essence and blood as a foundation is possible..." Antelope pondered for a moment before continuing, "She's already returned to the Forbidden City. The vitality within has revived, and the atmosphere inside must be terrifying. She probably doesn't have a favorable impression of you anymore. Even if you have a companion pet like Tyrant Behemoth, you'd be in danger of death if you went in. Taking her essence and blood is basically impossible."
"Is there no way?" Zhou Wen was a little disappointed.
Even the antelope said there was no hope, so Zhou Wen felt there was no need to take any more risks.
Unexpectedly, Antelope changed the subject and continued, "But you're lucky. I happen to have some of her blood essence here."
"You have her blood essence? When did you get it?" Zhou Wen didn't quite believe Lingyang.
The guardian has been inside the wood all the time. The wood has never been opened, and the antelope has never touched the wood. How could it possibly get the essence and blood?
"Of course, it's not what I got now. The one in the wood was one of the few guardians who survived the last guardian war. This essence blood was obtained before." After the antelope finished writing, it shook its body, and a small jade bottle fell out from the hair under its neck.
"There's something hidden on this thing?" Zhou Wen looked at the antelope's hair in surprise.
The antelope's hair is very short, only the hair around the neck is slightly longer, but it can't hide a bottle in any way, and I don't know how it hides it.
Zhou Wen reached out to take the jade bottle, but was blocked by the antelope's hoof.
"You can have my blood and essence, but I have a condition," Antelope wrote.
"You eat my food and live my house, and you still want to negotiate conditions with me?" Zhou Wen frowned.
"Do you want it?" Lingyang had no intention of reasoning with Zhou Wen.
"Okay, tell me, what are your conditions?" Zhou Wen had no choice but to ask patiently.
"When you have the ability in the future, you must go to the Forbidden City again and ask her for something. Originally, as long as you made a contract with her, the thing would be ours, but it turned out like this. Now there is no other way but to use force." Antelope wrote.
"What is that?" Zhou Wen asked.
"You'll know when the time comes. Don't worry, I'll lend you a hand. We'll split the profits 20-80 as we agreed."
"No, we said 20/80 before, that's because you found the wood. Now that we're working together, of course we can't say 20/80 anymore. We have to say 40/60, 60 for me and 40 for you. After all, I know nothing about it and the risk is too high." Although Zhou Wen didn't know what that thing was, he was unwilling to suffer any loss.
Anyway, he also wants the essence and blood, so he must agree to the antelope's conditions. It would also be nice to get some benefits by the way.
"Impossible." Antelope refused directly.
Seeing its resolute attitude, Zhou Wen said, "Then let's split it fifty-fifty. It can't go any lower."
"Don't you want the essence and blood anymore?" Antelope pointed at the small jade bottle.
"Four to six, you get six and I get four. This is my bottom line, and you have to work together. You can't let me carry it alone." Zhou Wen said.
"Deal." Lingyang handed the small jade bottle to Zhou Wen.
Zhou Wen took the small jade bottle, opened it and took a look. He saw a small ball of blood inside the jade bottle. The blood was actually a strange purple color, with a faint purple starlight, as if there were countless purple star sands inside. It looked beautiful and mysterious.
Zhou Wen had come into contact with the blood essence of many guardians, and he knew at a glance that this was undoubtedly the real blood essence of a guardian. However, the properties were different from those he had seen before. It was very similar to the aura in the wood, so it should be the real thing.
Taking the blood back to the training room, Zhou Wen tried to use the "Stealing the Sky and Replacing the Sun" technique to absorb the blood in the jade bottle, and he was able to refine it smoothly.
Zhou Wen suddenly felt the small universe in his body explode. The purple blood essence provided the small universe with terrifying energy, causing it to burst out with terrifying starlight.
Zhou Wen only felt that his energy and spirit were converging into the microcosm, which was a precursor to the condensation of his soul.
Perhaps it was because he absorbed a lot of essence and blood this time. In the past, he only absorbed one drop, but this time, there were probably seven or eight drops in this small ball. The energy contained in it was far more than before, making the process of condensing the soul abnormally fast.
Between Zhou Wen's eyebrows, a point of starlight condensed, shining with purple light.
