I Can Extract Everything

This time, it was Li Hai's turn to fall silent as he couldn't argue with that.

He wasn't completely oblivious of the words that the Blind Old Man had just said. In fact, he knew more than anyone else that his goal is very difficult to achieve.

Seeing Li Hai like this, Blind Old Man took a sip of Summer Joyous Wine that Wu Kun had offered him and then said leisurely.

"In fact, since you joined the Sleeping Dragon Sect, you can make an appointment with the Supreme Guardian through your Sect Master. It shouldn't be that difficult by relying on your status as the Prince of the Golden Dragon Empire, right?"

"Sleeping Dragon Sect and Golden Dragon Empire must have a special relationship since their Supreme Guardians are both Dragons. However, this old man can't be entirely sure of that. After all, what we're talking about are Dragons..."

Dragons are incredibly prideful Divine Beasts, and they usually can't stand each other. Therefore, rather than gathering in the same place, they prefer to live in the territory they created themselves.

They rarely communicate with each other. The only thing that could make Dragons feel connected was when another race killed their kind.

Whoever kills a Dragon will be hunted by the other Dragons. That's because Dragons are prideful Divine Beasts as they believe that the only thing that can kill them is their own kind.

If there were other races capable of killing one of them, then the Dragons would not hesitate to wipe out the killer's existence from the face of this planet.

Li Hai smiled wryly at Blind Old Man's words and said.

"If I could meet the Sect Master, I wouldn't bother spending a lot of resources looking for you, Sir Blind."

Blind Old Man arched his eyebrow as he asked confusedly.

"Did something happen to your Sect Master?"

Li Hai shook his head as he replied.

"I don't know, but my master said that the Sect Master is currently busy attending something, and he hasn't been in the sect since twenty years."

"Twenty years... no wonder these people are so restless..."

Blind Old Man muttered lowly as he drank another mouthful of wine.

"These people?"

"Nothing~"

Li Hai tilted his head puzzledly.

"By the way, was the senior brother that came out of the mouth the little guy who came first is you, little prince?"

"Sir Blind mean my Junior Brother Qin? That's right; I am his senior brother. Could it be that my junior brother was disrespectful towards you, Sir Blind?"

"Ohoho, No." Blind Old Man laughed funnily as he pulled his beard out of his habit.

"It's just that this old man finds it strange. If he's merely your junior brother, why would my Purple Fate Eyes see a string of fate that binds the two of you together?"

"The thread of fate? Ahem, he's just a junior brother I just met today, nothing more."

Li Hai coughed as he couldn't help but misinterpret Blind Old Man's words.

Blind Old Man shook his head as he elaborated it.

"There are many kinds of a string of fate, and the string of fate that binds you to your junior brother is the thread of fate that signifies opportunity and luck. That means your chance and luck will most likely be directly related to your junior brother and vice versa."

"Sir Blind mean that my chance and luck was related to my junior brother?"

"That's right. Maybe your chance to meet the Sleeping Dragon Sect's Supreme Guardian is also related to him. However, this old man can't be too sure because your junior brother is a little weird."

"Oh?"

Li Hai grew curious as he heard that.

To be honest, he didn't find anything special about his junior brother except for his unknown sneaking ability.

He just treated his junior brother like how he usually treated his junior brothers in the sect.

The reason he brought his junior brother here is as a direct witness and as a medium so that Sir Blind can calculate the purpose and location of the seller.

The atmosphere in Ancient Dragon City is a little gloomy as many bizarre cases have recently occurred in the city.

Yet, he had a hunch that those were related to each other, and something big would likely happen to the city soon.

Therefore, he did not hesitate to bring his junior brother to Blind Old Man and hoped that this old man could find something helpful from the clues he got.

However, he didn't expect that Blind Old Man would say such a thing about his junior brother.

Blind Old Man, "Your Junior Brother has strange luck. It's neither bad nor good; he's just like standing in the middle line between bad and good."

"Moreover, I saw that his luck was as stable as a rock. The only thing that can shake his luck is something or a treasure that is heavily related and has an impact on luck."

Li Hai raised his eyebrows and thought, "Stable luck? Isn't that a good thing?"

"Yeah, that's really good..."

It was so good that Blind Old Man found it odd.

Everyone has a different kind of luck. He has seen people with very bright luck, which means they will be fortunate in their lifetime.

He has also seen people with very dark luck, which means they will be very unlucky in their lifetime and that can even lead them to their death.

For example Wu Kun, his luck is gloomy. It meant that he would fall into a hazardous situation shortly and most likely cost him his life.

The only things that can save him is by relying on luck-based treasures or relying on people who have the luck that is inversely proportional to Wu Kun himself.

People who have excessive luck would usually affect the things around them.

However, Qin Yi is a different case.

He had already gotten a bit involved with the troublesome matter, and he had already had contact with Wu Kun.

Typically, Qin Yi's luck should have been slightly contaminated. But his luck unexpectedly remains stable as if nothing can affect it.

Blind Old Man didn't know whether it was good or bad. 

'What a strange fellow...'

Those were his last thoughts before he took another sip of wine.

***

Qin Yi strolled around the village for almost half an hour, but he found nothing special about this place.

In the end, the thing that attracted him the most was the giant tree growing in the center area of ​​the village.

This seemingly ordinary big tree turned out to be a Magical Beast; it was a little hard to believe.

No matter how you look, this tree is just like a regular tree except for its excessive size and spiritual energy that occasionally leaks from its body.

Rank 1 Magical Beasts had the intelligence of a one to a three-year-old child. Their way of thinking is minimal, but the brand's instinct for danger is still very high. 

After all, that is the innate talent of every Magical Beast.

Qin Yi didn't dare to alarm Willow Tree, so he approached it very carefully.

He didn't know whether it was oblivious to his presence since he was wearing the Hidden Night Cloak or it was just being aware but not caring about his approach since he didn't carry an ill intention.

Anyway, since it didn't attack him, it's a good thing for him.

So, he decided to be more daring to approach it.

When Qin Yi arrived five meters away from the Willow Tree, he finally stopped.

He looked up at the tree for a moment before he ordered the system to perform an extraction on it.

[Extraction completed!]

[Obtained 10 Spiritual Energy]

[Obtained 50 Body Essence]

[Obtained 150 material — Hundred Year Old Willow Tree's Branch. Grade: Rank 1]

[Obtained a material — Hundred Year Old Willow Tree's Root. Grade: Rank 1]

[Obtained Magical Beast Skill - Bloody Wood Extension. Grade: Earth]

[Note: Body Essence is an essence contained within every Magical Beast cell, and it acts as a shield and strengthening of their physical body. Apart from Magical Beasts, this Body Essence could also be obtained from cultivators who trained their physical bodies.

[Note: The Hosts can only extract Body Essence once a day.]

[Note: Material from Magical Beast can be used as a material to refine an artifact. The higher its grade, the higher grade artifact would be produced.]

[Note: Magical Beast Skill is not an innate skill, it is a skill that Magical Beasts develop by themselves. Therefore, in order to master Magical Beast Skills, the Host needs to spend Mastery Points for each stage.]

"Not bad!"

Even though the spiritual energy he got was very little, it was expected since Willow Tree lived in a nameless mountain that had extremely thin spiritual energy. Moreover, the way Magical Beasts cultivate is very slow, especially plant-type Magical Beasts.

In short, 10 spiritual energy was a pretty decent amount, and it meant that the Willow Tree's lack of talent wasn't bad.
