“Really want it?” Qi Tian raised an eyebrow and said, “Alright then, follow me.”

Zhu Ziyan and another woman hurriedly followed Qi Tian towards a corner of the Meat Market where there was a teahouse. Many major transactions in the Meat Market were discussed there.

During the Lianying Realm, Zhu Ziyan was still in Qi Cultivation Period, but now she was a cultivator of Foundation Establishment Stage, and the woman was also at the same stage. Even if they joined forces, it would be difficult for them to subdue Qi Tian in a short time in the compartment. Once Qi Tian escaped from the compartment, the two women would be in trouble. This teahouse was opened by the Meat Market authorities who were very strict about the order there.

Qi Tian directly asked for a private room. He sat down first and then motioned for the two women to sit down before saying, “It’s more quiet here. Now, how much are you willing to offer at the least? Let me make it clear, if the price is not proper, I won’t sell it.”

Zhu Ziyan and the other woman shared a glance. Then Zhu Ziyan said, “Five hundred middle-grade spirit stones, this is already the maximum price we can offer.”

Qi Tian immediately stood up, saying, “I am asking for five thousand and you are offering five hundred, clearly, you are not sincere. Forget it.”

“Sir, don’t be in such a hurry, everything is negotiable,” the female cultivator hastily stopped Qi Tian, “If you are not satisfied, we can discuss it further. Just tell us, what is the minimum price you would accept?”

Qi Tian remained firm, “Five thousand middle-grade spirit stones, not a single stone less, or I won’t sell.”

“Impossible…How about this, we can add a bit more for you, a thousand, what do you think?” Zhu Ziyan said.

Qi Tian wasn’t really clear about what was so special about the Demon Crane corpse he bought, but since the Heavenly Dao Engine reacted strongly to it, and Zhu Ziyan and her companion were desperate to get it, then the Demon Crane must be worth a lot. There was no way he would let it go so easily.

“A thousand, and you’re still not satisfied? Sir, one shouldn’t be too greedy,” the female cultivator responded somewhat angrily.

Qi Tian placed the Demon Crane on the table, and then pointed at its stomach, “You two should be here for whatever is inside this. What do you think will happen if I tear open the stomach of the Demon Crane, take out the treasure inside, and then sell it outside? Do you think I can sell it for a high price?”

The color drained from the female cultivator’s face.

Zhu Ziyan somberly said, “Aren’t you afraid that you might bring disaster upon yourself?”

Qi Tian gave a dismissive chuckle, “I don’t know about that, but I do know that if I do that, whatever is inside this Demon Crane will have nothing to do with you two.”

Zhu Ziyan and her companion were stunned into silence. Qi Tian’s words made sense. Once he extracted the object from the Crane and started flaunting it outside, the chances of it falling into their hands would be slim.

“Fine, we can offer a maximum of three thousand middle-grade spirit stones. If you are willing to sell, this is our price. If not, there’s nothing we can do,” Zhu Ziyan hesitated for a moment before finally gritting her teeth and making the offer.

“Alright, in consideration of your sincerity, three thousand it is.” Qi Tian was nearly laughing with joy. He had only paid one middle-grade spirit stone to obtain the Demon Crane corpse, and by reselling it, he was making a profit of three thousand middle-grade spirit stones. The earnings he made were simply too much.

On the other hand, whether he was selling a gem for the price of rubble was not something Qi Tian took into account. With the Heavenly Dao Engine at his disposal, he was confident that whatever lay within the Demon Crane’s stomach held less allure for the Heavenly Dao Engine than three thousand middle-grade spirit stones. It might be more appealing to Zhu Ziyan and the others, but for Qi Tian, the spirit stones were more useful.

Zhu Ziyan and her companion took out three thousand middle-grade spirit stones and handed them over to Qi Tian. After he counted and confirmed the stones, he gave the Demon Crane corpse to them, completing the transaction. Afterwards, Qi Tian left the teahouse and continued roaming around the Meat Market.

Zhu Ziyan and her companion weren’t in a hurry to leave. They circled around the Demon Crane twice, Zhu Ziyan holding a crystal-ball-like artifact in her hand. Whenever the crystal ball was brought close to the Demon Crane’s corpse, it glowed, and it glowed brightest near the Demon Crane’s stomach.

“There’s no mistaking it, this Demon Crane definitely carries a trace of the phoenix bloodline, and this trace is still alive,” Zhu Ziyan exclaimed, delighted.

The other female cultivator immediately set up a restrictive barrier in the compartment, and the two women cautiously opened the stomach of the Demon Crane and extracted an egg that hadn’t had time to hatch. This egg was already mature and was yet to pass through the Crane. If the Crane had not been killed, it would have laid the egg within a day or two.

When the egg was extracted, the crystal ball became even brighter. Under the glowing crystal ball, one could see the veins densely lining the eggshell.

The egg was still alive. Zhu Ziyan took out a jade box and delicately placed the egg inside before sealing the box and restricting the emanation of the egg’s life-force.

At this moment, Qi Tian had no clue that he had missed out on an egg carrying the Phoenix bloodline. However, even if he did know, he was likely not to care. On one hand, the value of the egg couldn’t be higher than the three thousand middle-grade spirit stones. On the other hand, the Phoenix’s bloodline in the egg was truly very, very thin. It was so thin that it was hard to discern its existence. If it weren’t for the fact that Zhu Ziyan and the others had the crystal ball, no one else in the Meat Market would have been able to detect it.
