37 -36: Power of the Bloodline_1

The hall fell into an eerie stillness, but Xiao Chen’s voice helped to ease the awkward atmosphere between them.

After the great battle, Xiao Chen was first busy with trivial matters in the tribe, and then he became obsessed with researching the alchemy path and concocting elixirs.

He barely had any time to rest, and his encounters with Mu Qing were few and far between.

“Qing Er, is there something you wish to share with Brother Xiao?”

Upon hearing Xiao Chen’s words, Mu Qing stood up, her gaze landing on Xiao Chen’s solemn expression which made her burst out into laughter – her beautiful smile blooming.

Xiao Chen, who had tried his best to maintain his elder brother image, could no longer resist when he saw her smiling face, he lowered his head repeatedly, showing a pleading expression to Mu Qing.

Seeing Xiao Chen awkwardly trying to conceal his discomposure, Mu Qing ceased teasing him.

With a change of her beautiful eyes, she smiled cheerily and said, “Brother Xiao, most of the medicinal materials you asked Qing Er to find have been gathered.

However, there were no leads at all for two types of medicinal materials: Purple Blood Vine and Blood Marrow Fruit, perhaps because Qing Er is ignorant, and has never heard of these two types of medicinal materials.

These past days, Qing Er has assigned tasks in the tribal marketplace for these two types of medicinal materials, but those gatherers and rangers have all claimed they have never heard of either of these two medicinal materials.”

Xiao Chen had privately instructed Mu Qing to find some medicinal materials, specifically for a cure obtained from his inherited knowledge in his mind for that boy Mu Yun Tian.

The prescription was called Blood Jade Tonic Energy.

The original plan was to use the Alchemy Fusion Dan.

Still, after consideration, and following some investigation of Mu Yun Tian’s body, Xiao Chen found that Alchemy Fusion Dan might not be the best choice.

Firstly, Mu Yun Tian, as an infant, was invaded by coldness.

The years of torment have left his body incredibly weak.

Although he has consumed countless heavenly treasures over the years, they merely preserved the regular function of his physique.

The Fusion Yang Dan, primarily made from thousand-year-old sunflowers, carries a domineering and vigorous medicinal property which Mu Yun Tian’s frail body might not be able to endure.

This is the so-called “weak body can’t stand the tonic,” as stated in the medical books.

Secondly, besides some popular prescriptions for alchemists, inherited prescriptions for other varieties of potions are strictly guarded secrets, not to be casually shared with others.

Furthermore, the Fusion Sun Dan is ranked high among top-tier elixirs.

The abrupt presentation of such a prescription by Xiao Chen could cause quite a stir.

Just like the ranking of a clan, the potions are ranked into low-grade, mid-grade, and high-grade tiers.

Fusion Sun Dan might not be a strength-enhancing potion, but with its strong effect on cold darkness and its high-grade ranking, it’s worth a fortune.

Purple Blood Vine and Blood Marrow Fruit are the main ingredients for the Blood Jade Tonic Energy.

It’s quite unexpected that these two materials were lacking.

Perhaps substitutes could be found for other missing ingredients, but without these two core ingredients, there’s no alternative other than regretful sighs.

However, Xiao Chen was prepared for this outcome.

Although the world is vast with vast resources, some rare medicinal materials remain in high demand, causing a scramble whenever they appear.

Seeing Xiao Chen fell into deep thoughts without showing impatience, Mu Qing quietly settled into the stone chair and awaited his decision.

“Ah, ‘when fate brings someone into your life, it’s because they’re meant to be there,’ it indeed seems like Mu Yun Tian has come across significant trials.

‘Guess we will just let old Hu take care of medicinal materials,” Xiao Chen regained his composure, saying to Mu Qing, “These two types of medicinal materials are rare.

It’s normal if you couldn’t find them, Qing Er, you don’t need to blame yourself.”

“Oh.” Despite Xiao Chen’s consolation, Mu Qing felt a bit down for not being able to help Xiao Chen and responded bluntly.

“Hehe.” Seeing Mu Qing’s mood, the foolish Xiao Chen gave a forced, awkward laugh in hopes of alleviating the atmosphere.

To his dismay, she remained unresponsive with a dismissive expression.

Xiao Chen could only rub his nose once again in embarrassment, reminding himself not to lash out against a young girl.

“By the way, Qing Er, you’ve had a mysterious breakthrough to the Blood Refining Realm some time ago.

Brother Xiao has been looking into it and finally has some ideas.”

As a last resort, Xiao Chen finally brought out his trump card, also the reason for this private discussion with Mu Qing.

Since the first exception of Mu Qing breaking through to the Blood Refining Realm during the potion bath, this issue had been troubling her.

Even though the breakthrough of her martial realm had further refined her body’s secret hideout and caused her no discomfort, this matter nevertheless became a mental knot for Mu Qing.

Not being able to control her own body was a frightening situation.

As expected, as soon as Xiao Chen spoke, Mu Qing’s attention was immediately drawn to him, her face full of curiosity.

Not intending to keep her in suspense, Xiao Chen said, “It’s possible that it has something to do with the power of bloodline.”

“Power of bloodline?”

Mu Qing showed a puzzled expression, having no clue about Xiao Chen’s explanation.

“In ancient times, humans were the weakest link, considered as food by different clans and ferocious beasts.

In order to resist these predators, our ancestors infused the bloodlines of ferocious beasts into themselves, hoping to gain more substantial power.

Even though most of them died from their bodies exploding, a small number of our predecessors survived, inheriting this new bloodline with the power of beasts generation after generation.

This is the origin of the power of the bloodline.”

“Of course, there are also situations where the powerful among the human clan pass down their bloodline to the lesser ones.”

As to how Xiao Chen learned such confidential information, it had everything to do with the Great Alchemist, Hu Guyue.

During their conversations, Xiao Chen had vaguely whispered about this problem to Hu Guyue, and to his surprise, Hu Guyue had explained everything he knew without reserves.

At the same time, Xiao Chen also learned that Mu Yun Tian possessed powers of the bloodline.

In essence, the Gu Yuan Tribe was too weak currently, located in a remote area, and had closed-off information about bloodline power.

Although it might be confidential to Xiao Chen, it’s common knowledge on the mainland.

“Then…

does Brother Xiao know which type of bloodline power is in Qing Er’s body?”

“I can’t confirm it for now.

We will have to wait until the power of the bloodline manifests itself more before we can determine it further.

All you need to know is that this power won’t harm you.

In fact, it will rapidly increase your strength.

Who knows, you might even surpass Brother Xiao one day and become the most substantial figure in our Gu Yuan Tribe.”

Upon hearing Xiao Chen trying to lighten the mood, instead of retorting, Mu Qing’s expression turned solemn, and she spoke resolutely, “As long as it can help Brother Xiao, I will be content.”

Following that, Xiao Chen once again urged Mu Qing to speed up the collection of medicinal materials for future emergencies.

As the Gu Yuan Tribe was not in short supply of wealth, their primary need was strength.

Therefore, Xiao Chen planned to produce a large amount of Bone-Tempering Elixirs.

Of course, this was the only type of elixir that he currently knows how to concoct.
