While Fang Yan was still sulking, in the room next door, Mo Tianxing’s eyes flickered subtly.

He was wondering if he should try using that dried corpse to give it a shot.

Not long ago, one of the Black Emperor Sect’s treasure-hunting teams, while searching for medicinal herbs deep within a remote mountain range, had discovered what seemed to be the mummified corpse of a Rank 7 magic beast.

However, that magic beast had been dead for who knew how many years.

After being eroded by time, almost all traces of energy within its body had completely dissipated.

Even Mo Tianxing had personally used Dou Qi to probe it repeatedly…

And what he found was that the remaining blood within the corpse was pitifully scarce.

As for the magic core that should have existed?

Not even a shadow of it remained.

Beside him, Mo Ya, his son, was visibly excited, barely able to contain himself.

As the Young Sect Master of the Black Emperor Sect, how could he not be aware of that Rank 7 magic beast’s corpse?

If that dry corpse could actually be exchanged for the Zong Breaking Pill, aside from himself, who else in the entire Black Emperor Sect would even qualify to use it?

When he saw that a few people had already gone in and come out of the light curtain on the auction platform…

Mo Ya turned to his silent father and couldn’t help but urge, ”Father!”

Mo Tianxing instantly understood what his son meant.

Although he personally felt that even with the Zong Breaking Pill, it was unlikely that Mo Ya could successfully step into the Dou Zong realm...

He was still willing to gamble on this chance.

After all, the Black Emperor Sect currently only had one Dou Zong—him.

And that was the sole reason why the sect could remain firmly established within the chaotic Black-Corner Region without falling.

This alone showed how incredibly vital Dou Zong experts were in a place like this.

For years, Mo Tianxing had been striving to cultivate a second Dou Zong within the sect.

If he succeeded, the overall strength of the Black Emperor Sect would see a tremendous leap forward!

And among all the younger generation of the sect, the one with the greatest hope of breaking through was undoubtedly Mo Ya, who had shown exceptional talent since childhood.

Over the years, the sect had invested countless resources into him.

Fortunately, Mo Ya hadn’t disappointed—he had reached the Dou Huang realm by the age of 23.

However, Mo Tianxing knew all too well that Mo Ya’s strength had been forced upward through various means.

With such an unstable foundation, it was obvious that relying on his own strength to reach Dou Zong would be extremely difficult.

That was why Mo Tianxing had constantly been seeking ways to increase the chances of breakthrough.

Naturally, this Zong Breaking Pill before him was an opportunity he couldn’t ignore.

”Don’t be impatient, Ya’er. I’ll go try and see if that magic beast corpse might be acceptable. But don’t get your hopes up. If it were the freshly slain body of a Rank 7 beast, maybe. But what we have is just a dried corpse...”

With that said, Mo Tianxing’s figure suddenly vanished from the room.

Moments later, he reappeared on the auction platform.

Letting out a quiet sigh, he then stepped into the light screen without hesitation.

No matter what, he had to try and test their luck with that dry corpse.

Who knows? If Lin Feng really needed the blood essence of a Rank 7 magic beast, maybe he’d accept it.

After all, the Black Emperor Sect had already invested far too much into Mo Ya.

At this point, there was no turning back.

While pondering, Mo Tianxing had already stepped into the light screen.

What greeted his eyes was a vast and empty space.

Other than a few makeshift tables and chairs, there was only Lin Feng, standing behind a wooden desk.

However, that overwhelming Dou Zong aura constantly reminded him—

There was still another presence in this room.

When he saw Mo Tianxing arrive, Lin Feng finally let out a breath of relief.

Although those Earth Class techniques and rare medicinal formulas presented earlier were all quite valuable…

His true goal was the even more precious Ancient Heavenly Phoenix corpse.

Now that the real deal had arrived, he could relax a little.

His mind spun with thoughts as he asked with a smile, ”Sect Master Mo, may I ask—what item have you brought this time to exchange for this Zong Breaking Pill?”

Mo Tianxing didn’t waste any words.

With a light swipe of his finger over his storage ring, a gigantic dried corpse, about forty to fifty meters long, instantly appeared on the ground beside him.

This magic beast corpse was enormous, but due to having died long ago, its entire body appeared withered and dried out, the flesh and bone shriveled and hardened.

The most striking feature of the corpse was its pair of massive skeletal wings.

These wings were quite unique, jade-like in appearance, and emitted a faint glow.

The moment he saw the corpse, a glimmer of excitement flashed through Lin Feng’s eyes.

With his exceptional soul perception, he could faintly sense—within those jade-like skeletal wings, a rich and pure energy was still faintly flowing.

Moreover, he knew well—this magic beast, when alive, had been none other than the legendary, illustrious Ancient Heavenly Phoenix of the continent!

”Hehe, Pavilion Master Lin,” Mo Tianxing chuckled. ”This magic beast corpse was something our Black Emperor Sect stumbled upon in a mountain ravine.

After a personal evaluation, I believe this beast was one that was just about to break through the seventh rank and step into the eighth rank—a truly peerless feral beast!”

As an old fox who had mixed in the Black-Corner Region for many years, Mo Tianxing naturally noticed the joy flickering in Lin Feng’s eyes.

He immediately continued embellishing the corpse’s value: ”Furthermore, ever since our Black Emperor Sect acquired it, this magic beast corpse has been perfectly preserved, without the slightest damage.

I can also assure Pavilion Master Lin, with full confidence, that we have never tampered with it.

Which means, if this beast really contains a high-grade magic core about to break through to the Rank 8—we honestly don’t know.”

Finally, Mo Tianxing got to the point: ”So, Pavilion Master Lin—do you think that this corpse of a magic beast about to break into the Rank 8 is worthy of that Zong Breaking Pill?”

”Hmm… if this magic beast had just recently died, I would’ve agreed without hesitation,” Lin Feng said, frowning slightly and feigning hesitation. ”But it’s dried up to this state… I can’t be sure whether there’s any blood essence left inside.

And Sect Master Mo, since you’re offering it for trade rather than cutting it open yourself, I presume… you didn’t find any sign of a magic core either?”

Mo Tianxing’s mouth twitched slightly after hearing Lin Feng’s words.

If this magic beast had just recently died, he could easily trade it for a mid seventh-tier pill at the very least.

Only a fool would exchange it for a Zong Breaking Pill, a sixth-tier pill. Isn’t a seventh-tier pill much more valuable?

And if he had detected a magic core—especially one from a beast about to step into the Rank 8…

Well, if he had even half a brain, he wouldn’t be here trying to exchange it for a Zong Breaking Pill.

”Pavilion Master Lin, you’re really fond of joking. If this magic beast had just died recently, I fear a mere Zong Breaking Pill wouldn’t even come close to being enough to acquire it.”

After a long moment, Mo Tianxing finally forced out this response.

If it weren’t for how badly he needed the Zong Breaking Pill, he would’ve left already.

If he had something truly valuable, why on earth would he be here trading for your sixth-tier pill?

At the same time, he frowned internally and thought to himself:

”As expected, trying to use this thing to trade for the Zong Breaking Pill might really have been wishful thinking…”
