Chapter 405: Chapter 404: Time Crocodile Essence Blood

Luck, in some sense, is intangible and elusive, yet it truly exists. Often, many things don't turn out the way you do them. Some would say that being favored by the heavens is what brought them success, when in fact, it is merely luck. Therefore, luck lurks within but constantly affects every living being.Tang San didn't understand why he was so fortunate, fortunate enough to almost seem like he was going to restore his status as a Godking, and reclaim his wife. This greatly relieved him, for it would be too unreasonable if he, someone so lucky, were to be killed by the Crystal Great Demon Emperor.

However, he couldn't figure out where his super luck came from—was it from Heaven Garden? The Dual Pole Domain, or his own divine consciousness?

The last possibility was the least likely, since his divine consciousness didn't belong to this plane and would only be rejected, not accepted. But since he was so fortunate, it was always a good thing.

His perception of his own luck also greatly bolstered Tang San's confidence in his journey. It seemed that his gains from the trip to the ancestral court were not yet at an end.

Crystal Palace.

In the magnificent palace, almost completely carved out of crystal and filled with dreamy colors, the Crystal Great Demon Emperor whom Tang San had once seen was sitting cross-legged in the center of the palace.

Suddenly, his eyes opened, and he looked straight ahead.

The light throughout the entire palace seemed to quiver slightly, then dimmed a bit.

"Has it disappeared? So quickly? It turns out luck can indeed be replicated. It seems I have truly been favored by luck."

...

A night of training.

The next morning, after Tang San and his companions finished breakfast, the others went off to their respective favored palaces to continue their ascension. He, however, received a message from Xu Ziran, who wanted to meet with him.

Exiting the White Tiger Grand Hotel, the carriage was already waiting. He made his way to the Spirit Rhinoceros Business Association.

Seeing Xu Ziran again, Tang San could tell he was visibly fatigued, as if he hadn't rested well the previous night, or perhaps he hadn't rested at all.

"Brother Xu," Tang San greeted, still wearing his mask.

"Brother Asura, did you manage to contact the master after you returned yesterday?" Xu Ziran asked in a low voice.

Tang San nodded. "I've contacted him already. The regular Array Plates shouldn't be a problem. As for the Bloodline Array Plate, the master is unwilling to auction it off."

"Ah?" Xu Ziran exclaimed, "It took us so much effort to decide to offer some essence blood to the master!"

Tang San heaved a sigh and said, "The master said that the Bloodline Array Plates are too shocking. Once they appear, they could easily bring trouble. Moreover, his current failure rate in research is still very high."

Xu Ziran hurriedly said, "As for trouble, the master needs not worry, our association will definitely handle it well and keep his identity a secret. Brother Asura, please plead with the master. There should be many significant auction items this time at the Skyreach Business Association. If we can't produce something that stuns the whole place, it's likely they will snatch away a lot of our share in trade at the Ancestral Court. Please ask the master to support us more!"

Tang San gave a wry smile and said, "The master has his own difficulties. First, he can't guarantee the success of the creation. Besides, the consumption to produce a Bloodline Array Plate would certainly be immense. Even if you're willing to bear the cost, the master would feel remorseful and wouldn't want to owe you the favor. The most important issue is that the Bloodline Array Plates are too astonishing. According to the master, if Bloodline Array Plates are to be introduced to the market in the future, they must be top Bloodlines; otherwise, they wouldn't adequately reflect the value of his research. First Level Bloodline essence blood is too expensive, and I estimate you wouldn't be able to provide it. So, while the master is willing to help you, under so many difficulties, I'm afraid it's very unlikely..."

Upon hearing Tang San's analysis, which seemed to be setting a trap but was actually reasonable, Xu Ziran fell silent.

He had to admit that all Tang San had said was true. Bloodline Array Plates were a significant matter. However, if they were just Lower Level Bloodline plates, they would have some influence, but their actual effectiveness wasn't that large, thus it wouldn't be easy to auction for sky-high prices. But essence blood of a First Level Bloodline was indeed extremely valuable.

Tang San continued, "The master said that he can offer ten Spirit Gathering Formation Disks, five Merging Spirit Array Disks, and at most two Teleportation Array Disks. This is already the master's sincerity. You can calculate the prices, and when the master hands the disks to me, I will deliver them to you."

Xu Ziran gritted his teeth and said, "Would Second Level Bloodline work? Ask the master about it. Essence blood of a First Level Bloodline is indeed very difficult to come by, especially when the success rate cannot be guaranteed. The association can't afford that loss. What about Second Level Bloodline? Is there a possibility?"

Tang San frowned slightly and replied, "The master mentioned First Level Bloodline, and his words are usually not easy to change. However, I heard him say that what he most wants to research now are Array Plates related to Time and Space. Because if such Bloodline Array Plates can be created, it would greatly increase the success rate for manufacturing other Bloodline Array Plates. If you have that kind of bloodline, I could try to speak to the master for you."

"Time, Space? Time Crocodile? Peacock? Impossible for the peacock. As for the Time Crocodile..." Xu Ziran frowned deeply.

"Not available either? Then forget it," Tang San said.

Xu Ziran suddenly looked up at him and said, "Brother Asura, the Time Crocodile Clan is rare in number and the only one capable of controlling Time, their essence blood is also extremely valuable, not much less than a First Level Bloodline. The association does have a bit; if the master can ensure the creation of at least one Array Plate, I can try to apply for it."

Tang San gave a bitter smile, "I'm afraid that can't be guaranteed. However, the more essence blood provided, the higher the chance of success. I've heard the master say that his current success rate for making Bloodline Array Plates is roughly ten percent. If you can provide ten or even more portions of essence blood, maybe there would be a chance. The higher the quality of the essence blood, the higher the success rate. The power provided by the Array Plate is also related to the grade of the essence blood used. That's why the master needs high-grade essence blood. For example, an Array Plate made from a Level 9 Bloodline would be Level 9. The master hasn't tested with God Level essence blood because there's simply no way to obtain such a high-grade essence blood. I suggest you get some Level 8 or 9 essence blood, which would give the master better assurance. As for God Level essence blood, if there is any, of course, it's better, but the master's success rate is probably not very strong."

Tang San didn't directly demand God Level essence blood because he was well aware of the immense value of Divine-Ranked essence blood. Deceit, no, cooperation needed to be gradual. Moreover, he didn't yet have a Divine-Ranked cultivation base, and creating Divine-Ranked Array Plates would require using his hard-earned divine consciousness, which would be counterproductive and, indeed, the success rate would be low.

Xu Ziran was silent for a moment and then said, "Brother Asura, wait here for me, I'm going to consult with the head about this." With that, he didn't wait for Tang San to reply and turned to leave.

Tang San was not in a hurry at all; since the other party had already shown a must-have attitude towards the Bloodline Array Plates, they had no choice but to compromise.

He didn't even expect that visiting the Ancestral Court this time would bring such benefits from the Spirit Rhinoceros Business Association. Initially, he just hoped to solve his previous identity issue through the Spirit Rhinoceros Business Association. Now it seems that there is the potential for deep collaboration, giving the other party some advantages when appropriate. With such a large business association cooperating, many tasks would be more efficient, and, most importantly, he could get what he wanted while remaining hidden and not being discovered.
