Elder Chan was disdainful. "I'd rather believe that Lu kid broke through before me." He then looked at Lu Yin strangely. "You can't really be faster than us, right?"
Lu Yin rolled his eyes. "I'm not that fast. If anyone's faster, it should be Senior Brother Qing Ping."
Elder Chan sighed. "Yes, Qing Ping will be very fast."
Kui Luo grinned. "Where did this monster come from? An Emissary can fight a Half-Ancestor alone. When he becomes a Half-Ancestor, Hen Xin and the others might not be his match."
"Definitely not." Lu Yin was certain. Although Hen Xin and the other leaders of the twelve Elysian Gates were powerful and were peak Half-Ancestors, Lu Yin was confident that he could fight them when he became a Half-Ancestor. No, he didn't even need to become a Half-Ancestor to be able to fight them. Senior Brother Qing Ping's talent was not below his own, and he had also been acknowledged by Mister Mu. Lu Yin was looking forward to seeing how strong Qing Ping would become once he became a Half-Ancestor.
Unfortunately, the Astral Source Universe had been devoured, so it was impossible for Senior Brother Qing Ping to become a Half-Ancestor.
Elder Chan left, but before he left, he told Lu Yin that the four cauldrons had been placed in the Above Heaven Sect.
Lu Yin was delighted, as he was only four cauldrons away from completing the Nine Yang Cauldron Transformation. He had wanted to search for more cauldrons, but he hadn't expected to find all of them.
"Where's Lan Xian?
Is she here? "
Lu Yin asked Kui Luo. He had asked Kui Luo to bring Lan Xian here before meeting with Elder Chan.
Kui Luo cackled. "She's here. I personally went to invite her. That old brat Nine Luminaries wouldn't dare refuse." He then winked at Lu Yin. "You've really taken a fancy to that girl?
You have good taste. Although she's older than you, cultivators don't care about age. She's full of life. "
"Don't think too much. I just have some things to discuss with her." Lu Yin chased Kui Luo away as Lan Xian walked over from a distance.
She looked at Lu Yin with a complicated expression. She hadn't met Lu Yin many times, but she had always been shocked. This time was even more terrifying. He was clearly an Emissary whose power level was inferior to hers, but he had leaped above her. she suddenly felt a little guilty.
Lu Yin looked at Lan Xian and calmly said, "Hand over my blood."
Lan Xian was confused. "What blood?"
Lu Yin's gaze turned cold as he stared at her. "The blood on the pillar in the main hall."
Lan Xian shook her head. "I didn't take it."
Lu Yin frowned. "I've already captured all five of Ni Huang's Half-Progenitors, so I have nothing to worry about. So what if there's one less Half-Progenitor? To be frank, the Fifth Mainland can do without any of you, as I alone can suppress it. I'll give you one more chance: hand over my blood."
Lan Xian stared at Lu Yin, and she did not doubt his determination. "I can't. I'll use it."
Lu Yin was confused. "What do you mean?"
He had always been curious as to why Lan Xian had been eyeing his blood. Not only his, but also Chu Yuan's and Heluo Mavis's blood. What exactly was this woman planning?
Even the Nine Luminaries didn't seem to know about it.
Lan Xian muttered to herself for a moment and then clenched her teeth. "I did. I've been trying to extract the blood of powerhouses for a long time now, because there are too many family inheritances that require blood to pass down their power. You should know that some people don't easily give birth to children, because the higher their cultivation, the more powerful their children's innate talents will be. They might even be born with cultivation.
Lu Yin stared blankly at Lan Xian, looking into her eyes. Lan Xian calmly met his gaze, her gaze calm.
"I have to say that your words are very convincing. You must have thought about it for a long time. From the first time you asked for my blood or when the Nine Luminaries found out about it, this was the perfect excuse you came up with," Lu Yin said slowly.
Lan Xian shook her head bitterly. "I know you don't believe me, but this is my reason. If you really don't believe me, I can swear an oath."
Normally, Lu Yin would believe an oath, but he did not believe Lan Xian.
This woman's desire for his blood was definitely not just for research. Otherwise, she would not have helped him time and time again. She would not have helped him deal with Jue Yi after the final battle with the Eternals. She would not have made him remember her favor in such a dangerous situation in the main hall. All signs indicated that her desire for his blood far exceeded research.
Lu Yin turned around and looked into the distance. "Do you know that using power to suppress a newly unified power isn't a good thing? But for me, this is what I've always done."
"You should know the history of my family. Killing one or two Half-Ancestors isn't a problem, and even if the Blood Ancestor asks, I have enough reason to kill you because my blood is in your hands." He then stared at Lan Xian again. "I'll give you one last chance. Speak the truth, or die."
Lan Xian's eyes flashed. "That's exactly what I'm saying-" Just as she finished speaking, Lu Yin took a step forward, his eyes bursting with boundless killing intent. Lan Xian had helped him before, but this matter was related to his blood, and it was not a game. If she could not make him believe her, then she would die.
Lan Xian paused mid-sentence and looked at Lu Yin in shock. He would really attack without caring about anyone else, and in this era, no one could stop him from killing her. He was the only existence with Progenitor strength, and he had even killed two of the Eternals' twelve Marquises.
Lu Yin's heart raced, and his killing intent flourished. He was really ready to attack.
"I can return the blood to you," Lan Xian hurriedly said.
Lu Yin raised his head. "No use?"
"No use." Lan Xian gritted her teeth. Her face was pale, and the veil that covered her face had fallen off, revealing her beautiful face and the antique sanxian in her arms.
"Is it no use, or do you not have time to use it?"
Lu Yin asked.
Given the current situation, Lan Xian could only answer whatever Lu Yin asked. "I don't have time. I'll return the blood to you, and since I've helped you so many times, we're even."
Lu Yin shook his head. "My blood passed through your hands, and it's been more than ten years since you returned from the main hall. You don't have time to use it?
I don't believe you, and no one knows if it will affect me. I won't take the risk. Tell me the reason, or die. "
Lan Xian was furious. "Can't I give it back to you?
I swear that I've never touched it. "
"One last chance." Lu Yin's tone was icy, and his killing intent was obvious.
Lan Xian was furious, as she felt the pressure. Lu Yin gradually merged with the Sirius, and this Progenitor's pressure terrified her. She did not doubt that Lu Yin had the power to instantly kill her, just like how he had instantly killed the twelve Eternal Marquises. Helpless, she could only say, "What if I tell you and you don't believe me?"
"That's your problem. If you want me to believe you, then you can live. If I don't, then you can only die," Lu Yin shouted, shaking Lan Xian's mind.
Lan Xian had never thought that she would encounter such a situation. She was a Half-Ancestor, and even if the Nine Luminaries interrogated her, she could still use her previous excuses to evade him. Who could force her to tell the truth? She had not expected to run into Lu Yin. If she had known, then she would not have provoked him. Not only had she helped him so many times for nothing, but she had also lost her secret in the end.
"Blood Refinement Technique." Lan Xian weakly opened her mouth and uttered these three words.
Lu Yin did not understand. "What's this Blood Refinement Technique?"
Lan Xian helplessly put her veil back on. "This is something I didn't have when I was young.
It's a very mystical technique that can extract some of the master's bloodline's power from blood. "
Lu Yin frowned. There was such a technique?
No matter how he thought about it, it was too strange. He stared at Lan Xian. Believe?
Not believe?
"We're already at this point, so I have no reason to lie to you," Lan Xian said weakly.
Lu Yin's eyes narrowed. "What's the use of extracting the master's bloodline's power?"
"In battle, it can save my life at critical moments," Lan Xian replied.
Lu Yin did not believe her. "I'm just a mere Emissary. Even if I let you borrow the power of the General Appointing Platform, what's the use?"
"Of course it's useless, but the General Appointing Platform isn't the only thing related to your Lu family's bloodline inheritance. Your power is incomparably great, and if I can extract this power and use it with my own strength, I can defeat opponents who far surpass me. There's also the power of Jialan from Sky Jialan's bloodline inheritance that I can use," Lan Xian said. She was afraid that Lu Yin would not believe her, so she took out a drop of blood from her cosmic ring and gritted her teeth. This was something that she had obtained from Sky Jialan after much difficulty, and even the Nine Luminaries did not know about it.
"Look carefully." Lan Xian stared at the drop of blood in front of her and raised both hands. Her slender, snow-white fingers wrapped around the drop of blood, causing it to vaporize and reveal a blue halo.
Lu Yin's pupils turned into runes as he stared at the blue halo. There was no mistaking it; it was Jialan's power. This woman had not lied to him; she really could extract power from blood. It was too strange.
The blue halo only lasted for a few breaths before disappearing. Lan Xian said tiredly, "The Blood Refinement Technique isn't easy to cultivate, and it's even harder to use it. The power extracted from blood is also not fixed, so you might not be able to extract anything at all. Sky Jialan comes from the legendary Jialan family, and their bloodline inheritance is powerful. She was also a direct descendant of the Above Heaven era, which is why she was able to extract it.
"Where did you get this technique from?"
Lu Yin was curious.
Lan Xian bitterly replied, "I obtained it by accident in the Mara River."
"Endless Milky Way?"
Lu Yin was astonished.
Lan Xian nodded. "That's what your Fifth Mainland calls it. In our Sixth Mainland, it's called the Mara River."
The so-called Mara River was the waterfall that flowed upstream from the Starfall Sea, and it led from the Fifth Mainland to the Sixth Mainland.
That waterfall was actually connected to the Starfall Sea, which meant that this Blood Refinement Technique could have flowed upstream from the Starfall Sea and been obtained by Lan Xian.
This was not impossible, as all sorts of strange things would appear in the Starfall Sea all year round. Some came from the Sixth Mainland, some came from the Astral Tree Domain, and some even came from ancient times that had been washed away by the river.
Undying Yushan and Undying Zishan had ventured into the Starfall Sea for this very reason. Every year, countless people would head there in search of treasures.
Lu Yin sighed in amazement. "There are too many strange techniques in the universe. Your Blood Refinement Technique is very mystical."
Lan Xian looked at Lu Yin. "You don't need to learn it. Your Lu family's inheritance is the best, and the power of other people's bloodlines won't be of much help to you."
"That's true, but it might be useful in the future," Lu Yin said. His meaning was clear; he had taken a liking to this Blood Refinement Technique.
Lan Xian shook her head. "I can teach you if you want, but you really won't need it."
Lu Yin stopped fusing with Sirius Chen's power and looked at Lan Xian. "Is my blood really that tempting to you?
It's enough to make you help me time and time again, even at the risk of being seen through by the Nine Lights. That explanation just now was a little forced. "
