Chapter 206: Tormenting Tang Qi, Zhou Tong’s Merchant Talent!
Inside the Bloodline Market, loud noises erupted intermittently.
This was because Zhou Tong had found the perfect toy.
“Boom!!”
Another strong tremor reverberated, mixed with a disappointing voice.
“Another explosion, how boring.”
It turned out that Zhou Tong was fiddling with the bloodlines in the market, trying to graft them onto himself.
This was actually an incredibly dangerous act because bloodlines were not compatible, and forcibly integrating one into a body could very well lead to an internal explosion, resulting in a tragic death.
But for Zhou Tong, this became a game.
He didn’t want to rely on bloodlines to become stronger, yet he couldn’t help but want to experience the taste of different bloodlines.
For ordinary people, this game would be childish and perilous, but for Zhou Tong, who had nearly reached the Dao, it was just right!
A man remains a boy until death!
“Eh, what is this thing?”
Soon, his gaze was attracted by a purple bloodline.
It seemed to be an eye bloodline, capable of activating a special ocular technique after fusion, but its exact nature remained unknown.
Practice is the only criterion for testing truth!
Zhou Tong, embodying the spirit of daring verification, reached out.
“Stop! That’s junk!”
His instincts issued a warning.
“Shut up! It’s too late to discuss after I’ve tasted it myself!”
Confirming that this item posed no danger, Zhou Tong fused the bloodline into his brow.
For a moment, he felt a cool sensation at his brow, with no violent heat, indicating that this bloodline had a gentle nature and was easy to tame.
“Heavenly Eye, open!”
In the next moment, he activated the Heavenly Eye.
This was his own divine ability, allowing him to see through illusions and perceive reality. Now, with the addition of the purple bloodline, a brand new ocular technique should have emerged.
But the result was unexpected; there was no change in the world Zhou Tong saw—this bloodline seemed to be utterly useless!
“Boss, are you still in business or not?”
Someone outside inquired.
“Come in!”
Zhou Tong immediately straightened up and responded in a deep voice.
Then several people walked in, and at that moment, Zhou Tong finally sensed something.
He saw that each person had different hues flashing on them—gray, green, blue, and more, a spectacular array.
One person was gray with a tinge of pitch black, while another was blue with a hint of lavender.
Based on the colors, Zhou Tong could tell that each person’s demeanor and cultivation level varied greatly.
From low to high, the order was gray, green, and blue; among them, the lavender was the best, while those with black were already entangled by death energy, their lives nearly at an end.
“This is the luck rank!”
Zhou Tong touched the vertical eye on his brow, finally understanding the use of the purple bloodline.
So-called luck is the blessing of the Heavenly Dao.
Those blessed with great luck lead a smooth life, climbing higher with each step, easily achieving what others find difficult.
Those in dire straits will have a sorrowful life, enduring many hardships, ultimately amounting to nothing despite their efforts.
Luck was originally an abstract existence, perceived only vaguely and not quantifiable, but now it had become clear under his divine eye.
After sending those people away, Zhou Tong began to explore and investigate with his spiritual power. Once he confirmed the function of the bloodline, it was much easier to study.
“Indeed, it’s the Fortune-seeing Eye!”
Moments later, he withdrew his spirit, and a rough guess formed in his mind.
Black, gray, green, blue, purple, gold, red…
This represented the color arrangement of luck power from low to high. But besides this, there was one special case—himself.
When he used his ocular technique to observe himself, there was no color at all—only a vast whiteness, as boundless as a starless universe, and he couldn’t see its end at a glance.
“What does this situation imply? Am I strong or weak?”
He muttered to himself, unable to obtain more information.
At that moment, there were footsteps coming closer inside the market.
Before seeing the person, he sensed their aura!
Zhou Tong instantly perked up.
He first saw a tinge of light red, which was nearly peak luck; the incoming person must be someone favored by the heavens.
But then, that light red aura churned, revealing flickers of black, indicating that the other party was accompanied by disaster, entangled in death energy, yet suppressed by astonishing luck!
“Welcome!”
Zhou Tong greeted warmly, but once he saw the other party’s face, the smile on his face immediately faded.
An old acquaintance…
Tang Qi!
He took a deep breath, forcibly suppressing the urge to strike.
This guy truly was someone of great luck; previously, it was merely a guess, but today it was fully confirmed.
This was still the result of Zhou Tong’s repeated suppression, which turned this person’s luck to light red.
He estimated that when they first met in the Judgment Hall, Tang Qi’s luck must have been dark red, perhaps even darkening to black!
If he acted rashly now, an accident would likely occur, resulting in startling the snake and losing more than he gained.
The best method was to remain motionless, wear down his luck, and wait until his luck dropped below blue, at which point the Heavenly Dao would abandon him.
Suddenly, an idea struck Zhou Tong.
“Sir, are you here to purchase bloodlines?”
“Of course, if not for bloodlines, would I buy you?”
Tang Qi completely dropped the facade, revealing his arrogant demeanor.
Zhou Tong secretly chuckled in his heart, unfazed; the real show was yet to come.
“Do you have life bloodlines here?”
“Yes!”
“Great, I’ll take them all!”
Tang Qi stated grandly, having learned from the Devil King that life bloodlines are worth a maximum of one thousand spiritual coins, and he had collected two hundred thousand through robbing and cheating—enough to take them all.
“Sorry, not for sale!”
Zhou Tong casually fiddled with his fingers, indifferent, causing Tang Qi’s expression to turn grotesque in an instant!
“You dare not sell to me? On what grounds?”
For some reason, Tang Qi became extremely irritable and couldn’t help but roar.
“Don’t worry, esteemed customer; life bloodlines are given for free.”
Upon hearing this, Tang Qi immediately cooled down, a smile appearing on his face.
“There’s such a great deal, then I want to take them all!”
“Not so fast; to obtain them for free, you must participate in our store’s event.”
“What event?”
“Hey hey…”
Zhou Tong revealed a sinister smile, and in an instant, a huge box appeared before him.
“Please draw, customer!”
Tang Qi narrowed his eyes, sensing something off, but still complied.
“I hope you don’t play any tricks.”
He infused his aura into the box, and soon after, a jade token flew out, reflecting the characters on it.
“Congratulations, esteemed customer! Our store has a total of one thousand life spiritual veins; you have obtained nine hundred ninety-nine. Just try a little harder, and you can take away all the life bloodlines from our store!”
“Wonderful, these are good enough; I want to take them away now!”
Tang Qi exclaimed excitedly, truly believing he had hit the jackpot.
“Not possible, customer; you must obtain all the bloodlines to take them together.”
“Then what should I do?”
“You can spend ten thousand spiritual coins to take a cut!”
Zhou Tong’s smile was filled with the flavor of a scheme.
