#217 - Let’s just make it a deal!
“This layer, is it real?” Xu Chengxian was stunned.
He retracted his hand, looked at it, and still felt it didn't look like it.
“Of course you can't tell.” Da Hei proudly twisted its butt and flew over, stretching a hoof at him, “One hundred blood qi, this venerable will tell you how to check for authenticity.”
“You're even haggling over a hundred blood qi?”
“Oh ho! Don't even mention a hundred, this venerable wants even a single point of blood qi!”

“Heh, I just won’t let you earn it!” Xu Chengxian laughed and said.
“If you don't let me earn it, can you distinguish between real and fake?” Da Hei glared.
“I have my own way to distinguish!” Xu Chengxian said with certainty.
With a shake of his body, he transformed the snake body into a length of three to four zhang.
Then, he spat out a mouthful of blood qi, enveloping the dragon egg.
Then he sucked it into his belly.
【Ding-dong!】
【Congratulations, Host, for swallowing a dragon egg containing vitality and true dragon aura.】
【You will receive Refinement Points * 2.】
【This dragon egg does not have the qualifications to hatch, and is currently extracting its vitality and aura.】
“Haha! It really is real!” Xu Chengxian was overjoyed.
The system prompt was the best proof of the dragon egg's authenticity.
So it wasn't that he had his own way. But that there was a 'superior expert' to help him distinguish!
“Da Hei, here, blood qi.” After confirming that the dragon egg was indeed a true dragon egg, he immediately took out a ball of blood qi and threw it to the gluttonous ferocious soul.
“...You really can distinguish between real and fake.” Da Hei flashed, hugged the blood qi ball in its arms, blinked its small eyes, and looked at Xu Chengxian.
It seemed to be wondering why the other party could see through the mysteries on the dragon egg.
Since the blood qi was given, it definitely wasn't intentionally trying to trick it.
Looking at the blood qi, and then looking at Xu Chengxian, Da Hei sighed: “Forget it, this venerable will tell you the method of identification.”
It turned out that the outer shell of this true dragon egg was still lightly coated with a layer of seabed mud.
However, what was mixed in was not dragon scale bone powder, but the saliva of the mirage dragon.
The dragon saliva smeared on the dragon egg buried under the Prison of Sin was even more powerful.
“Among the mirage dragons, there are also those with high and low cultivation levels, and dragon saliva is not ordinary saliva, but one of their refined innate divine powers.”
The mirage dragon's two treasures—mirage qi and dragon saliva.
The powerful thing about these two treasures is that they can subtly bewilder the minds of all spirits.
“If one doesn't understand and directly probes with divine sense, one will extend the thought of 'It really is fake' and abandon this dragon egg.” Da Hei gnawed on the blood qi, and the entire state of the ferocious soul became very easy to talk to.
Unless one's divine sense is strong and one's willpower is firm, it is difficult to see through the illusion.
“I can't possibly raise the price for you again!”
“...Tch! Stingy!” Da Hei, whose thoughts were seen through, pouted.
But in reality, the pout was actually to cover up the excitement that was hard to suppress and was about to burst into laughter.
Although the mouth was closed.
The short tail behind it that had already begun to fly and sway wildly still exposed everything.
Fifteen hundred blood qi!
The flower snake actually happily gave fifteen hundred blood qi!
Moreover, its small eyes had already begun to uncontrollably spin.
The eggs in this cemetery are not ordinary in number.
No, no.
This venerable can't appear too happy.
What if the flower snake thinks it's too expensive and wants to lower the price?
If each egg can be exchanged for fifteen hundred blood qi, then wouldn't that be…
I'm going to get rich!
Xu Chengxian was now cheering in his heart, just like a certain black sheep.
But he held back and didn't shout out loud.
To avoid being price-gouged by a certain black sheep.
“No, I can't show that I'm too happy.” He muttered in his heart, “I must appear not to care so much.”
Moreover, every time a dragon egg is opened next, he still has to pretend to be in pain.
“This way, Da Hei will feel that it has made a big profit.”
Then, when the number of dragon eggs found becomes more and more, he has to reveal a little regret.
“Da Hei will definitely worry that I will go back on my word and not want the dragon eggs.”
In this way, wouldn't it have to try its best to find more dragon eggs as soon as possible and seize the time to turn them into blood qi?
“I have to act more naturally, have a transition, and then progress step by step.”
So, next, a strange scene appeared in the cemetery.
…
“Oh my! There's a dragon egg here!”
“Fifteen hundred blood qi, give blood qi!”
In the beginning, both the snake and the ferocious soul were quite happy.
“Oh my! There's another dragon egg here!”
“This venerable's blood qi! This venerable's blood qi!”
…
“Hahaha!”
“Hahahahaha! Wuwu!!”
“Delicious, delicious! Blood qi is so fragrant!”
After finding more than a dozen dragon eggs in a row, the black sheep hugged more and more blood qi, and endured more and more hardship.
Finally, it couldn't help it anymore, and began to laugh loudly, receiving the blood qi balls from the flower snake.
Because the mouth that opened wide with laughter took up half of the face.
“Oh my, another real one.”
Xu Chengxian's tone, however, changed from the initial excitement to a hint of fatigue.
When giving out blood qi, he also became less active.
But he still took out the blood qi.
“Oh my, why is this one still real?” He turned his head to look at the other hand.
He spat out blood qi and swallowed it into his belly.
Then he muttered in his mouth.
In fact, he was shouting in his heart: “Fifteen! It's the fifteenth! I've copied it this time!
Nine collisions, and fifteen dragon eggs were found!
Logically speaking, two dragon eggs colliding nine times should have yielded eighteen.
However, surprisingly, and yet not so surprisingly—the dragon eggs in the cemetery are really fake!
It's hard to understand.
The literal meaning is hard to understand.
The logic is also hard to understand.
Fake eggs contain real eggs.
Fake eggs may also contain fake eggs.
The True Dragon race must really be bored!
…
“Tsk, the thirty-sixth one.” Xu Chengxian muttered.
When giving out blood qi, he hesitated and also looked very distressed.
He looked at Da Hei and said: “More than fifty thousand blood qi, you can finally satisfy your craving this time.”
“Bring it here!” Da Hei hugged the blood qi ball and shouted loudly, “Didn't you also get dragon eggs?”
“Oh my, it's true that's what I said.” Xu Chengxian nodded, “But this is a bit too much.”
He thought for a while, clapped his hands, and took the blood qi that had condensed into both hands back into his body.
“Forget it, let's stop here today.”
“What do you mean?” Da Hei became anxious, “You don't want the rest?”
“Want, of course I want them.” Xu Chengxian twisted his body, “But I can't eat any more. Let's come find them again tomorrow.”
“...Or, dig them out and take them back?” Da Hei was a little worried.
“Why bother with this effort? Let's just stay in this cemetery.” Xu Chengxian said, “Another day, and I won't have any blood qi to give you.”
“I have to save some.”
“You can owe it first!” Da Hei was really anxious now.
How come the previous sentence said tomorrow, and the next sentence became another day?
Is he not wanting the dragon eggs anymore, and looking for an excuse to delay?
Delaying and delaying, and then he won't mention it?
These dragon eggs have no possibility of nurturing new life, and it sees that most of them are contaminated by Chaos Qi, and it is afraid that other monsters would not dare to swallow them like Xu Chengxian.
It can be said that they no longer have much value.
It doesn't know what Xu Chengxian uses the dragon eggs for, but the blood qi he gives is extremely precious to it.
It had just had a beautiful dream of feasting on blood qi, and it was about to be shattered?
How could that be!
“Owe it? No, no, that's not good.” Xu Chengxian shook his head and refused.
“Okay! This venerable says it's okay, then it's okay!” Da Hei didn't allow him to refuse.
“Oh my, you...I...”
“We've settled it then!”
