Chapter 14
Bodhi Body Transforming Saliva
"Elder Jia, this Magic Beast corpse is the humanoid puppet of the Heihuang Sect, found in a mountain ravine. According to our initial appraisal, this was a peerless fierce beast on the verge of breaking through the seventh tier to enter the eighth tier!" A red-faced elder, formerly of the Heihuang Sect, stood up to explain. This elder possessed the strength of a high-level Dou Huang and was also a Tier 6 Alchemist.
As soon as his words fell, a commotion erupted in the main hall. A Magic Beast on the verge of entering the eighth tier? Wasn't that equivalent to a Dou Zun powerhouse of humanity? A Magic Beast of this level possessed vast divine abilities and a long lifespan, so why did it die in this place?
"This dried Magic Beast corpse has been perfectly preserved since it fell into the hands of the Heihuang Sect, without any damage. Furthermore, it is highly likely to contain a monster core that was close to breaking through to the eighth tier," the red-faced elder added with a smile.
These words were like a heavy bomb. Everyone knew that a peerless fierce beast was a treasure from head to toe: its hide could be made into armor, its fangs and claws were sharper than specially made weapons, and its blood, containing violent energy, was an excellent medicinal ingredient for refining pills. Most importantly, how terrifying would the energy inside a monster core close to the eighth tier be! The value of this dried corpse was immeasurable.
"A Magic Beast corpse of the Dou Zun level is indeed of some use!" Jia Xing Tian pondered, ordering his men to retrieve the corpse so he could present it to Shen Feng later.
"Elder Jia, although the Heihuang Sect has many resources, they cannot be considered true treasures. Only this one item can be called priceless..." The red-faced elder stood up again on his own initiative.
"Oh, what item?" Jia Xing Tian asked with interest. Ordinary Tier 6 pills no longer caught his eye, but he knew this Tier 6 Alchemist would not dare to make a joke.
The red-faced elder led everyone to the center of the grand hall, pulling back a black cloth to reveal a crystal chest. Inside the chest, a mysterious glow emanated. A clump of viscous green substance, about the size of a fist, was slowly squirming and floating like a living creature. It hovered in the air inside the chest, radiating a miraculous light.
"This item is called Bodhi Body Transforming Saliva!" the elder replied respectfully.
The moment the name was spoken, countless powerhouses of the Heijiao Region gasped in admiration. Although Jia Xing Tian's strength had grown, his knowledge of such rare items was still inferior to those who roamed the Heijiao Region.
"Explain, what are the miraculous effects of this thing?"
"According to what I know, deep within the uninhabited mountains, there is a divine tree called the Ancient Bodhi Tree. At its roots buried deep underground, after thousands of years of accumulation, a viscous heart-shaped mass called the Bodhi Heart will condense. And the Bodhi Body Transforming Saliva is the miraculous liquid secreted from the surface of that Bodhi Heart!"
Jia Xing Tian's eyes lit up. This was the first time he had heard of such a thing. He thought to himself that His Majesty would surely be very pleased.
"When consumed, the Bodhi Body Transforming Saliva has the effect of shedding one's mortal body and exchanging one's bones, extraordinarily improving one's constitution. As for the Bodhi Heart, it is a true spiritual object of heaven and earth. If consumed, it can replace a human heart, providing superior strength and preserving one's life even when heavily injured. Most importantly, it constantly nourishes the soul, making it gradually stronger—an irresistible temptation for Alchemists."
Hearing of such terrifyingly miraculous effects, Jia Xing Tian felt his mouth go dry. He nodded and laughed loudly, taking the crystal chest.
The red-faced elder flattered further, "It is said that this item can also help sense the Ancient Bodhi Tree. If one can find the Bodhi Heart inside the ancient tree, it would truly be a meteoric rise..."
Jia Xing Tian quickly cataloged the important materials, leaving the rest for the army to transport. He suddenly asked, "In this defensive alliance, did an ancient faction like the Moyan Valley not participate?"
Someone replied, "Elder Jia, perhaps the Moyan Valley Master is in closed-door cultivation, so no one in the valley dares to make a decision."
"What is the strength of the Moyan Valley Master?" Jia Xing Tian continued to inquire. He knew that the Moyan Valley was the oldest inherited faction in the Heijiao Region, with a foundation deeper than even the Heihuang Sect.
