Chapter 724: Chapter 315: Unique Business (Subscription Request)_4

Among the crowd, Ren Zhongshou’s heart also clenched in secret, filled with intense envy towards Chu Xisheng.

But he was aware of his own limits.

In this gathering of so many, the only one with the capability to obtain the ‘Nine Curves Time Trace Grass’ under the watchful eyes of the evil beast was Chu Xisheng.

The rest, merely the Divine Thought attacks of the giant beast were enough to defeat them,

Just as Fang Bu Yuan had said, only Chu Xisheng could engage in such business.

It was just uncertain whether Chu Xisheng would be willing to sell the second ‘Nine Curves Time Trace Grass’?

Based on past experiences, for divine items such as Time Trace Grass, the first one has the most potent effect.

There had been people who had taken two strands of Six Curves ‘Time Trace Grass’ one after the other, only to find that the effect of the second was but one-seventh of the previous one.

If that’s the case with Six Curves Time Trace Grass, it’s surely the same with Nine Curves, and taking more would be of no benefit.

Ren Zhongshou subsequently smiled bitterly, thinking how could Chu Xisheng possibly sell to him? To sell to him, a disciple of the Guiyuan Sword Sect, their mortal enemy?

Not to mention, there was Fang Bu Yuan, the great merchant, right beside him.

No matter what price Ren Zhongshou offered, Fang Bu Yuan could always present a higher one.

While everyone had their own thoughts, Chu Xisheng suddenly leapt from the ground. Like a fleeting shadow, he dashed towards the south. Under the pursuit of the Taiyi Divine Thunder and Time Trace, he crossed several miles in an instant, and with an outstretched hand, he grabbed another strand of Time Trace Grass with nine curved patterns on its stem.

Following that, without waiting for the giant evil beast to act, he activated another Third Grade Earth Escape Talisman and dived back into the ground.

“The third one! Tch tch, look at the business he’s doing. A Third Grade Earth Escape Talisman costs ten thousand silver, but a strand of Nine Curves Time Trace Grass is priceless,” Fang Bu Yuan shook his head, click his tongue in amazement, and was filled with envy.

After that, his gaze turned intense, shining with a strange luster, “That evil beast seems to have changed a bit.”

The others around also noticed it.

After Chu Xisheng had snatched the third ‘Nine Curves Time Trace Grass’, the evil beast, despite its thunderous rage and determined pursuit for a while, quickly became calm again. It soon started walking toward the direction of the Stone Heart Blood.

The steps of the giant evil beast remained shaky, and its stride was not very large, as if it was walking with shackles, yet it seemed much lighter than before.

This seemed to have enraged some existence in the darkness. All the Time Trace Grass in the valley began to tremble violently, emitting a much stronger medicinal fragrance.

So much so that the people in the cave dared not look directly at them.

These Time Trace Grasses were emitting strong thoughts—’Eat me! Eat me!’

Everyone had to exert all their strength to suppress the craving and impulse in their hearts.

At this moment, Chu Ming suddenly burst forth, shot in another direction inside the cave.

She had spotted another strain of Nine Curves ‘Time Trace Grass’ being born there.

But just as Chu Ming had shot out a hundred yards from the mouth of the cave, the giant evil beast, on its way to the ‘Stone Heart Blood,’ suddenly turned back.

Its gaze was cold and detached, yet it lacked any hint of madness.

Upon merely glancing at Chu Ming, a red thunder transformed into a long spear and struck her, leaving her flesh torn apart and her figure stiff.

At that moment, more vines burst out from the ground below, piercing through Chu Ming’s entire body and tightly binding her before suspending her five zhang in the air.

Chu Ming’s pupils dilated in anger and disbelief.

She had already used a Third Grade “Thunder Escape Talisman”, but it was utterly useless, easily thwarted by the giant Evil Beast’s spear of thunder.

She wanted to speak but could not, her mouth only leaking copious amounts of blood plasma.

Fortunately, the Evil Beast did not deliver a fatal blow to her. It glanced at the robe on Chu Ming’s body, signalling she was a Disciple of the Formless Divine Sect, and then it continued on its way towards the Stone Heart Blood.

Fang Bu Yuan sneered upon witnessing this, “Idiot! Now in the valley, only Master Chu can get his hands on the Time Trace Grass, how could anyone else even think of touching it?”

His Escape Skills and the number of Third Grade Jade Talismans in his hand both surpass Chu Ming’s by tenfold, yet he’s still just watching, isn’t he?

If he had the ability, he wouldn’t hesitate to take them.

A complete force of the Earthly List can be stopped by just one Third Grade Jade Talisman?

Silence fell among the people around Fang Bu Yuan; the fate of Chu Ming weighed heavily on all of their hearts and quieted their thoughts.

And then, shortly after, Chu Xisheng emerged from the ground once again.

He looked at Chu Ming, who was pierced and hanging from the vines, with a hint of surprise before seizing the Nine Curves Time Trace Grass into his hand.

Surprisingly, this time the giant Evil Beast did not react at all; it completely ignored Chu Xisheng and walked directly to the large green stone, opened its mouth, and inhaled a drop of Stone Heart Blood from the pit.

Afterward, the giant Evil Beast stood motionless, waiting for parts of its body to transform into wood.

Chu Xisheng felt somewhat unaccustomed, not needing to counter any Sword Qi, without any Taiyi Divine Thunder around him, nor any signs of Time Trace.

He looked in all directions, but even after half a moment, he found no new Nine Curves Time Trace Grass had formed.

During this time, as the giant Evil Beast swallowed the twentieth drop of Stone Heart Blood and most of its body turned to wood, Chu Xisheng heard dozens of sounds like rolling thunder, shaking the Cloud Heaven, outside the Divine Stone Pit.

They were all from powerful Evil Beasts of the third layer secret realm, their roars laced with boundless violence, causing one’s soul to shake. And these sounds were rapidly closing in on the Divine Stone Pit.

With a thought, Chu Xisheng understood the situation.

He could no longer fleece the owner of the Secret Realm.

The owner of the Time Secret Realm was no fool, knowing the Time Trace Grass was no longer of use, unable to restrain the mind of the giant Evil Beast anymore, they wouldn’t waste Divine Power to continue producing “Nine Curves Time Trace Grass”.

Chu Xisheng silently regretted for a while, and then stopped waiting, beginning to collect the other Time Trace Grasses inside the Divine Stone Valley.

Just as he had cleaned out all the Six Curves and Three-Curves Time Trace Grasses, the giant Evil Beast had swallowed the thirty-sixth drop of Stone Heart Blood.

Its entire body had completely transformed into wood!

In the eyes of the giant Evil Beast, red fluorescence appeared once again.

But it was no longer the previous scarlet blood color, but the color of Blood Maple—

It then looked up, gazing at the giant Sky-reaching Stone Pillar ahead.
