"You have to pay more."
Xiao Xue grinned. After saying the words "You have to pay more," she felt incredibly good.
Triggering a hidden quest by chance allowed her to not only earn experience points from the System but also come to this mysterious Senior Demon Venerable to make a huge profit. It simply couldn't be better.
Hearing this, the little fox extended a paw and scratched its head, seemingly very troubled by Xiao Xue's demand.
However, Xiao Xue was not the least bit flustered. She sat calmly like a fisherman, waiting for her to bring out something more valuable.
After all, it was this Senior Demon Venerable who needed her help now, and as a Ninth Revolution Dou Zun, the other party must have some good things suitable for her.
Little Fox: Acting cute to pass.jpg
Xiao Xue: "Senior, you have to pay more."
Demon Venerable:...
Dirty negotiation tactics, actually asking for more!
After confirming that acting cute was fruitless, the little fox waved its small paw indignantly at Xiao Xue, then burrowed back into the stone coffin.
The little fox lay beside the white-haired woman's hand, bit her finger, and then extracted a drop of blood that was so red it appeared black.
The little fox, formed from green smoke, held the blood drop with its two front paws and slowly floated over, handing it to Xiao Xue with some reluctance.
Xiao Xue immediately cast [Detect] and received feedback from the System:
[heavenly fox essence blood, Rank: Advanced]
[Compatibility: Extremely High]
Xiao Xue's pupils constricted slightly. She hadn't expected that this little fox would actually bring out its Essence Blood.
Although a strong practitioner surely has more than one drop of Essence Blood, every drop is precious.
It was clear that in order to leave this place, the little fox had truly "invested its blood" in every sense.
Hmm, it seems this Senior is still a bit foolish.
However, she had to admit, she couldn't refuse this thing.
Currently, without her Xiao Clan Bloodline awakened, she wasn't much different from an ordinary person, and this drop of Essence Blood could allow her to possess a trace of the Heavenly Fox Bloodline.
With this Heavenly Fox Bloodline, her Early Stage Cultivate would be twice as effective with half the effort.
Moreover, she didn't need to worry about the issue of Bloodline rejection in the later stages.
After all, in the original work, Xiao Yan had been in the Heavenly Tomb and, with the help of Xiao Xuan, simultaneously fused the Bloodline Power of the Xiao Clan, the Ancient Clan, and the Dragon Phoenix.
And this Heavenly Fox Bloodline had an [Extremely High] compatibility with her, so Xiao Xue was not worried at all that problems would arise from Bloodline rejection after her Xiao Clan Bloodline Power awakened in the future.
Compatibility [Extremely High], perhaps it had something to do with her maxed-out Charm? Xiao Xue guessed casually.
Heh, as expected of me.
"Senior, I'll take this job. Happy cooperation." Xiao Xue took out a jade bottle and carefully stored the Essence Blood.
After Xiao Xue said this, the familiar System notification sound rang in her mind:
[Ding, Hidden Quest — Demon Venerable Ruins, completed. System rewards are being distributed.]
[Quest rewards are — 100,000 experience points, as well as purchasing rights for some special items. Each item can only be purchased once.]
[Remaining time for the purchase channel — 59:59. Please, host, make your choices in time; they will not be available after the deadline.]
After reading the System notification, Xiao Xue immediately turned her head to look at the little fox on the side and asked, "Senior, could I ask you to wait a few days?"
She planned to claim the System's quest rewards and refine the heavenly fox essence blood right here.
For one, something like heavenly fox essence blood was too precious; naturally, the sooner it was refined, the better.
Moreover, the sooner she obtained the Heavenly Fox Bloodline within it, the greater the benefits for her.
Although, logically speaking, as a tiny Dou Master, she wouldn't be able to withstand the Essence Blood of an Eighth-Rank Heavenly Fox and would definitely explode and die from being unable to bear the violent energy within.
However, this was not ordinary Essence Blood, but Essence Blood that had been converted by the "River of Immortality".
The violent factors within had all been eliminated through the conversion, leaving only pure energy.
Therefore, Xiao Xue was completely confident that with the System's help, she could first Seal it and fuse it into her body, then gradually unseal it as her Cultivate improved in the future to completely refine it.
Secondly, it was because of the System's quest rewards.
[Purchasing rights for special items], Xiao Xue would absolutely not miss this.
These randomly refreshed Hidden Quests were very different from the Main Quest.
