Chapter 36 The Bloodline Rune! [New Book, Please Vote!]
When the entire Spirit Beast Mountain began raising Source Blood Flying Mosquitoes, Mengde only needed to do two things: hybridization and selective breeding.
"I've done everything I could to get it. Here, take this." Qing Li shook her head slightly, then flicked her finger, and three bottles of Qi Refining Pills fell into Meng De's hands.
Meng De looked at the three bottles of Qi Refining Pills in his hand, his expression slightly taken aback. Through Bai Yunsheng, he had a general idea of the price of the pills in his hand. As the mildest cultivation pill, Qi Refining Pills are less resistant to drug effects than Yellow Dragon Pills and have a higher absorption efficiency than spirit stones. This type of Qi Refining Pill, which is between Yellow Dragon Pills and spirit stones, has an average market price of about two to three spirit stones.
The Yellow Dragon Pill is more potent, but due to drug resistance, it generally costs five to six spirit stones per pill.
The bottle of Qi Refining Pills that Qing Li gave him contained ten small pills, and one bottle was equivalent to twenty or thirty low-grade spirit stones. Three bottles would be close to one hundred low-grade spirit stones, which surprised Meng De greatly.
"I will remember the kindness of Senior Sister in bestowing these pills upon me!" Mengde carefully put away the three bottles of Qi Refining Pills, and then bowed respectfully to Qingli.
"..." When Yunxi saw the three bottles of Qi Refining Pills in Mengde's hand, her mouth opened and closed slightly as if she wanted to say something, but she ultimately chose to keep quiet.
"If there's nothing else, go and cultivate diligently." Qingli waved her hand slightly, signaling Yunxi to see the guest out.
"Let's go." After thanking Qingli again, Mengde was led away from Jinxia Peak by Yunxi.
"You should know the way back. You go back first. I have other things to take care of." After Yunxi led Mengde out of Jinxia Peak, she let Mengde sail back to Heishui Village on his own, while she turned around and disappeared.
Seeing this, Meng De suddenly had an idea. He took out the Azure Spirit Token, which could distribute the surrounding restrictions, and landed his flying boat on a hillside not far from Golden Cloud Peak. He ran his fingers across his waist, and a blood-red yellow paper talisman appeared in Meng De's hand.
hum!
Blood energy surged from Meng De's body instantly, fusing with his magical power in a flash. Then, Meng De used his blood spiritual power to activate the [Origin Blood Talisman] in his hand. The moment the blood talisman was activated by the blood spiritual power, it instantly spread outward with an invisible wind before disappearing.
"Through experiments on the Crimson Flame Mosquito, the Source Blood Talisman can increase the diffusion distance of my bloodline aura tenfold, theoretically reaching up to fifty miles..." Meng De stood on the mountaintop, gazing in the direction of Golden Cloud Peak. After a slight hesitation, he boarded the Azure Bee Boat, flew into the air, and headed towards Blackwater Village.
The blood-source mosquitoes inside Jinxia Peak shouldn't be able to fly over in a short time, so Mengde doesn't need to wait in place.
Based on Mengde's understanding of the Source Blood Mosquitoes, their sensitivity to his blood is an almost innate bloodline talent. Even if Mengde goes far away, the Source Blood Mosquitoes will instinctively linger in places that emit Mengde's aura until the local environment can no longer sustain their lives. Only then will the Source Blood Mosquitoes temporarily suppress this bloodline instinct in order to survive.
In other words, when Mengde lit a [Source Blood Secret Talisman] outside Jinxia Peak, it was equivalent to setting a 'bloodline coordinate' for the Source Blood Mosquitoes within a radius of fifty miles. For a long time to come, the Source Blood Mosquitoes within fifty miles of the coordinate will follow their genetic instincts to move towards the coordinate point and settle nearby.
Thus, Meng De only needs to carefully search near the Blood Talisman coordinates the next time he passes by Golden Cloud Peak, and he will be able to obtain the Spirit Insect-level Source Blood Flying Mosquito cultivated by Golden Cloud Peak without making a sound.
Conversely, if Mengde lingered outside Jinxia Peak for too long, it would cause some unnecessary misunderstandings and troubles.
......
At Jinxia Peak, Yunxi found Qingli again.
"Senior Sister, you seem to be a little too nice to that kid." Since Meng De wasn't present, Yunxi was obviously much more relaxed when she met Qingli.
"..." Qingli, standing under the spirit tree, pondered for a moment but did not answer.
"Alright...Senior Sister, given that human boy's contribution in discovering the Origin Blood Mosquito, shouldn't it be worth at least a Foundation Establishment Pill?" Yunxi asked, exhaling a breath of fresh air as she saw Qingli remain silent.
"The Ancestor has no objection to this..." Qing Li shook his head slightly upon hearing this, "It's just that the senior uncles from the other peaks don't think so."
Qing Li hesitated slightly, but finally spoke of the conversation between the Core Formation senior uncles: "They said that pseudo-spiritual root cultivators... are not worth wasting a Foundation Establishment Pill on."
"...Monsters also have various multi-attribute spiritual roots..." Yunxi slightly pursed her lips. Monsters also have spiritual roots, but their spiritual roots are different from those of humans.
"It's different." Qing Li shook her head and explained softly, "Demon beasts have much longer lifespans, so even if they possess multiple spiritual roots, they can still cultivate slowly. But humans can't do that. The more spiritual roots they have, the slower their cultivation speed... And the limited lifespan of humans simply doesn't allow cultivators with multiple spiritual roots to cultivate slowly..."
In the cultivation methods of the human realm, most mainstream methods are single-attribute methods, which means that the spiritual root can only absorb the spiritual power of heaven and earth of one attribute.
At this time, cultivators with fewer spiritual roots absorb more spiritual energy from heaven and earth because their individual spiritual root attributes have higher 'spiritual power values,' thus cultivating faster and breaking through realms more quickly.
"Even among demonic beasts, those with a single-attribute bloodline still have a greater advantage in cultivation," Qing Li said softly. The spiritual roots of demonic beasts are more about 'bloodline'.
"The reason why demonic beasts are more adaptable to the environment than humans is that most of their bloodlines inherit corresponding cultivation methods, while humans do not..."
"Alright..." Yunxi sighed, looked up at Qingli under the spirit tree above, and asked her final question:
"So, Senior Sister, you really consider that human boy your disciple?"
"I don't know." Qing Li shook her head gently, her expression remaining calm.
"But if I succeed, that human boy will be my first disciple."
"Hmm... okay." Yunxi nodded noncommittally.
"What a...lucky guy." Yunxi couldn't help but marvel at the clever timing of Mengde's entry into the sect.
"Yes, that's what the ancestor said too."
......
Meng De, inside Blackwater Manor, was unaware of how lucky he was. He only wanted to accelerate his cultivation to prepare for the Blood Forbidden Trial two years later.
If Spirit Beast Mountain had been willing to reward him with a Foundation Establishment Pill, Meng De, given his personality, might have actually hesitated about whether to participate in the perilous Blood Forbidden Trial.
But now, Mengde finds himself submitting the Source Blood Mosquito ahead of schedule, following the task process of handing over the strange insect on the task list, and this is the result of his evaluation.
Is it not worth taking the Foundation Building Pill?
Is this how you manage a sect?
Do you know what it means to avoid saying things that are detrimental to unity?
