Beast Tamer: I can extract blood

"huhuhuhu"

"Following you, I really feel uneasy no matter where I go!"

Inside the dimly lit cave, Mengze treated his injuries while complaining.

Li Si no longer hid within Meng Ze's body, but transformed into a butterfly-like being, hovering around Meng Ze.

"I don't know either. The Three Lives Stone lineage actually went for the kill. That bastard Hei Yuan didn't care about the alliance at all!"

"Black Abyss? Who is that?"

“He is a great general from the Three Lives Stone lineage!” Li Si said helplessly.

"general?"

Mengze looked at Li Si with a strange expression. According to the information he had gleaned from Li Si over this period, a general was at least a level six cultivator, while Li Si was just a level two cultivator who dared to call Hei Yuan a dog.

"Don't look at me like that. I'm just complaining a bit. It's only because this is the Heavenly Gift Realm. If it were the Yellow Springs Realm, I wouldn't even dare to mention this name!"

"Hehe, that's more like it!" Mengze said, trying to make light of the situation.

Li Si was just an ordinary citizen of the underworld. If he didn't have some unique methods and abilities, he would still be scavenging for garbage outside the city to survive.

"But now that there's an extra general on the Three Lives Stone side, what about your lineage?"

"Don't tell me you're all alone!"

Li Si smiled wryly and said, "Otherwise what? Sunset Mountains aren't any important place. It's already quite generous of them to let me come here to cause trouble!"

"No, what can you do by yourself?"

"Are you taking me on a long, arduous journey? Aren't you worried that we'll end up with nothing?"

"Fear? Why should we be afraid? This is just an insignificant little place. If we gain something, great; if we don't, it's just another lowly commoner like me dying!"

"As for the price, even if I succeed, I'll only be a third-level citizen. To those big shots, it's just a matter of a word!"

"But if we don't succeed, we'll really die here!"

"So what exactly is your goal? Besides taking over Sunset Mountain Range, is there any other way?" Mengze's heart sank. This Li Si was very unreliable, and he didn't want to die here.

"Other methods?" Li Si gave a wry smile, then thought of a possibility and hesitated before saying, "It's not that there aren't other methods, it's just..."

"Just what?"

"money!"

“As long as we have enough money, we can go back safely, and we can even buy identities!” Li Si said in a deep voice.

"What are you waiting for!"

"You think money is so easy to get?!"

Li Si pointed to the roasting meat that was being heated and said, "In the Yellow Springs Realm, this level of ferocious beast is considered a first-class ferocious beast, and its price is only about ten yuan per kilogram. Do you know the money needed to buy identity and security?"

"That's an astronomical sum!"

"Wait, if that's the case, you didn't need to go to so much trouble to get me out of the Star Moon Guild. You could have just been open and honest with the guild from the start!"

"What do you mean?" Li Si asked, somewhat puzzled.

Mengze shook his head in frustration: "If you had just said you had money earlier, we wouldn't be in such a sorry state now. We might already be in the underworld by now. But now, sigh."

Mengze is very upset. As long as you have money, that's all that matters. Why didn't you say so?

Explain yourself!

Thinking of his current bleak and hopeless life, Mengze said in a deep voice, "How much would it cost to safely reach the Underworld and buy an identity?"

"Are you really rich?"

"Stop talking nonsense, how much do you want!"

Li Si said in a deep voice, "To ensure a Level 1 citizen's safe passage to the Underworld, it would require at least 100 million in living expenses!"

"That means 10 billion in dead money!"

"How much would one of those ferocious beasts we just encountered be worth? Do they buy them?"

"They'll take anything of value. That one from earlier would probably be worth around 100,000 dead coins!"

"Wait a minute, you said the price is over ten yuan per kilogram, but that ferocious beast must have weighed more than ten thousand kilograms!"

"That's the market price. Do you really think we're running a shop selling things? How can the prices be the same?"

Mengze's lips twitched. A ferocious beast at the Great Luo level was only worth 100,000 dead coins. This was truly despairing!
"But if it were someone else, it probably wouldn't be a difficult task for him!"

"What did you say?"

"It's nothing, but I think we should change our approach. With just the two of us, let alone occupying Sunset Mountain Range, we might not even survive opening your so-called teleportation gate!"

"You don't really want to spend money to buy your life, do you?" Li Si asked incredulously.

"Do you know how huge this number is? And my mission isn't something that can be solved simply by changing my identity!"

"Since identities can be bought and sold, I suppose even if your mission fails, the price you pay should be enough!" Mengze sneered.

From what I've learned about the Underworld from Li Si during this time, although there are all sorts of incredible things there, the powerful figures there are extremely greedy, and it seems that money can solve most problems.

"It's possible, but how could such a large sum of money possibly solve the problem? The entire Sunset Mountain Range is only worth one billion in cash, enough for just ten people to exchange for identities."

"That's the sunset mountain range you saw. Coincidentally, I know someone who doesn't fall under this rule!"

"Not within the rules?"

"Hey, hey, hey, what do you mean by that?!"

"Damn it, you're ignoring me! If I weren't a butterfly spirit right now, I would definitely punch your head off!"

Amidst the hustle and bustle of the city, the two slowly disappeared into the darkness.

On the other side, Chen Jiuge also decided to contact Mengze after much deliberation. Of course, she would not go alone, since she did not know Mengze's current situation and his strength had reached the King level. Bei Nu would need to accompany him.

Chen Jiuge, who hadn't held out much hope, received a response from Mengze seven days later.

Chen Jiuge and the Nightmare Clan formed an alliance a long time ago, and they naturally have a unique way of communicating. He originally just wanted to try it out, but he didn't expect to actually get a response.

Sanxing Town, Sanweilou Restaurant.

With the establishment of other towns, it is now very difficult for small tribes and settlements that have joined the Star Moon Tribe to join the Star Moon Tribe's main city. Consequently, the status of Samsung Town, the number one town, has also risen accordingly.

As the largest and best-prepared restaurant in Sanxing Town, Sanweilou is naturally extremely popular. This is a private room in the far corner on the third floor.

Chen Jiuge pushed open the door with Bei Nu, and looking at Meng Ze, whose face was unchanged and who had a black butterfly perched on his shoulder, a hint of doubt appeared on his face: "You actually came back. It seems our previous guess was wrong!"

"I'm also very curious that you would take the initiative to contact me, and even come to see me with the other person."

"Hmm, King level. It seems that the Sorrowful Woman has also broken through. No wonder!" Mengze said in realization.

"This is the person you were talking about? He's only at level one. You think he can help us? What kind of joke are you playing on me?!"

Li Si's sharp voice rang out, full of resentment, as if she felt she had been deceived.

"These are the people of the Yellow Springs? They actually look like this?" Chen Jiuge looked at the black butterfly with some curiosity.

It was entirely black, but upon closer inspection, one would discover that it was a multicolored black, and the antennae on its forehead were noticeably different, seemingly possessing special abilities. As for its cultivation level, it was imperceptible, and it appeared to be merely a soul, albeit an incomplete one.

"The great people of the underworld are not like this!"

"You lowly native, how dare you look at the great Lord Li Si with such eyes!"

Mengze covered Li Si's mouth with a swift motion, even though butterflies don't seem to have mouths: "Enough, you idiot, you really think you're something special!"

Li Si, feeling somewhat dejected about the current situation, said, "Alright, alright, but are you sure this place... this native can help us?"

"Shut up!"

Turning his gaze back to Chen Jiuge, Mengze said in a deep voice, "You contacted me, probably to inquire about the Yellow Springs Realm, or perhaps you want to go there?"

Although it was a question, Mengze seemed quite certain.

"Why do you think that way?" Chen Jiuge asked, puzzled. Was she being that obvious?
“Besides this, I can’t find any other reason why you suddenly used the old way of contacting me. After I defected, you didn’t even issue an arrest warrant for me, and you didn’t even eliminate the Nightmare Clan in the Star Moon Tribe. Obviously, you don’t want to provoke me.”

"Or perhaps, there's no need for them to cause me trouble."

"But the only place I can think of that is the Underworld!" Mengze analyzed calmly.

"As expected, you were not possessed by the consciousness of the people of the Yellow Springs!"

"You guessed right, I did have that idea!" Chen Jiuge nodded readily.

"Li Si, it's your turn next!"

"Huh? What do I have to do?" Li Si asked, looking completely bewildered.

"Of course, it's about introducing the Underworld and the price of going there!" Mengze said, sounding a bit tired.

If you disregard his identity as a person from the Underworld, Li Si is essentially a half-baked good-for-nothing. He has no cunning, and while he does possess some strength, it's negligible compared to the Underworld. He has no identity and no background.

Simply put, he's just a cannon fodder who has no cunning, no background, and mediocre abilities!
"and many more!"

Chen Jiuge took out a Heavenly Dao Blood Pact and said, "To avoid unnecessary trouble, let's sign the blood pact first!"

As for whether the blood pact is useful to Li Si, it certainly is. After all, the Heavenly Dao of the Heavenly Gift Realm is also a true Dao. Unless Li Si's strength is stronger than the Heavenly Dao of the Heavenly Gift Realm, but judging from Meng Ze's attitude, Li Si's strength should be quite average, but probably about the same as Meng Ze's.

"Contract, you lowly native, how dare you be so great?"

"You idiot, do you even want to go back alive?!" Mengze roared.

"Alright, alright." Li Si shrank back. Although he didn't think the person in front of him could possibly come up with so much money to let him go back safely, it seemed like there was no other way now. Anyway, trying wouldn't hurt him.

Regarding the Underworld

Unlike Mengze's previous indirect approach, Li Si spoke in great detail this time, even providing a detailed analysis of the most powerful force in the Underworld.

These messages caused Chen Jiuge's brain to experience a brief period of oxygen deprivation.

"You mean your strength ranks second in the Yellow Springs Realm's power hierarchy, which means that just being at the second level is equivalent to being a king in the Heavenly Gift Realm?"

Faced with Chen Jiuge's shock, Li Si sneered, "Of course it's the truth. Why would I lie to you about a lie that's so easy to expose?"

"No, if the King level is only considered the second level, then how destructive power do higher-level beings have? Even if the Yellow Springs Realm is indeed countless times stronger than the Heavenly Gift Realm, such powerful cultivators don't need to be at the seventh or eighth level. If just a few fourth or fifth-level beings wanted to destroy the world, the Yellow Springs Realm would probably have already been destroyed!"

Chen Jiuge discovered a loophole in Li Si's words.

When an individual's power reaches the point where they can destroy the world, then that world becomes extremely dangerous. Especially according to the strength Li Si mentioned, there are definitely many beings capable of destroying the world. Does the Underworld have so many places for them to destroy?

"what are you thinking about?"

Li Si sneered, "What kind of realm is this? It's just the lower realm. You don't actually think you'd still have this kind of strength in the Yellow Springs Realm, do you?"

"With a level two strength, at most in the Yellow Springs Realm, one could only destroy a two-story building with all one's might, and that would have to be an old, well-preserved antique."

"what?"

"What does 'lower realm' mean? And what about those steam technologies, pistols, and cannons you mentioned? Are they all real?"

Chen Jiuge was somewhat incoherent, but that's not entirely her fault.

As a time traveler, Chen Jiuge is naturally a frequent visitor to Qidian.com, and has read quite a few novels with a steampunk and psionic background.

But isn't it backwards that this kind of world is of a higher status than the Heavenly Gift Realm and the True Realm, which are cultivation worlds?
"What's the point of asking? What good would it do me to lie to you!"

"If you're really rich, why don't you come with me to the Underworld?" Li Si looked at Chen Jiuge with some anticipation.

Even though I know the chances are slim, what if it is?
"One hundred million to generate money per person?" Chen Jiuge said in a deep voice.

“That’s right, 100 million per person, and that’s the lowest level of citizenship.”

Can you guarantee safety?

"Of course, the one doing this business is the Ten Kings of Hell, the true rulers of the Underworld. Neither the Naihe lineage behind me nor the Three Lives Stone lineage are a match for them!"

"The Ten Kings of Hell are in charge of the Underworld!"

"As long as safety can be ensured, there is still a chance to raise the money!" Chen Jiuge pondered.

"Are you sure you can gather the money?" Li Si's eyes darted around, seemingly wanting Meng Ze to take down Chen Jiuge right now. With money, what does a mission matter!
However, Mengze remained unmoved. What a joke! Back when he was in the Great Luo Realm, he was no match for Bei Nu. Now that he was at the King level, the aura on Bei Nu that resembled a demon god was even stronger. He was probably no match for her even more.

Moreover, Mengze felt that his decision to follow Li Si was a mistake, and he would have been better off returning to Chen Jiuge's embrace, since Chen Jiuge was genuinely wealthy!
"Tell me your conditions!"

Li Si has already explained the conversion between the Yellow Springs Realm and the Heavenly Gift Realm, as well as the True Realm. Aside from the necessary funds he has, Chen Jiuge thinks it's still possible to generate 1 billion in exchange.

The only worry is the Chaos Pearl. The Wenxin, which is also a supreme treasure, has been completely shattered by the powerful beings of the Yellow Springs Realm. I wonder if I will encounter trouble if I take the Chaos Pearl with me.

However, without the Chaos Pearl, his abilities would be significantly weakened, making it very difficult for him to develop in the Underworld.

"Conditions? Of course, you have to buy me an identity too, and also buy out the consequences of my failed mission. Everything else is irrelevant!" (End of Chapter)
