【Chapter 129】Blood Testing
After Nangong Chenyu's speech, except for the two people from the Qi family who behaved strangely due to guilty conscience, the rest of the people were all confused.
After looking at each other, they saw the same doubt and confusion in each other's eyes. Just because they didn't smell the scent of dirty grass on the Blood Stone.
Every word and action of the people on the ring was watched by everyone in the audience. Nangong Chenyu's voice was not loud, but many people heard it.
Many people started discussing it directly.
"Do you think there is really something wrong with the blood stone?"
"I think there is no problem. After all, the four elders of Tianyi Sect and Taihua Sect have personally checked it. And the ancestor of the Qi family has solemnly guaranteed that there is no problem with the blood stone."
"But the cultivator who said there was something wrong with the Blood Stone was a disciple of Yunjue Palace."
"It is impossible for a disciple of Yunjue Palace to shoot without a purpose."
"Is there really something wrong with the Blood Stone?"
"After all this talk, do any of you know about the dirty grass?"
"have no idea."
"I haven't heard of it."
“It’s the first time I’ve heard of it, too.”
"I know, I know."
A second-level alchemist in the crowd explained to everyone: "The leaves of the foul grass are as big as rice grains and grow in bunches. It grows in the sea, so it has a fishy smell. Its leaves have a decomposing effect, and its rhizomes have a fusing effect."
"If you use the leaves of the foul grass to make a potion and soak it in the blood stone, it will make the blood stone lose its ability to detect blood. If you use the rhizome of the foul grass to make a potion and soak it in the blood stone, the blood stone can make two unrelated people become blood relatives."
What he didn't say was that the Bloodline Stone would only take effect after being soaked in the potion of the foul-nourishing grass for three days and three nights. He was afraid that if he told it out, his life would be in danger.
After listening to his explanation, everyone seemed to suddenly understand.
"Could it be that the blood stone that Patriarch Qi brought was really soaked in the potion of the foul grass?"
The speaker was a big man with a rough and loud voice. Many people heard what he said, and his companions were so scared that they quickly whispered to him, "Don't talk nonsense, or the Qi family will hear you."
Everyone who wanted to discuss the issue fell silent.
Seeing that the truth was about to be exposed, the Qi family's ancestor's mind was working rapidly. The Qi family must never admit that they knew about the problem with the blood stone.
"My Qi family would never do anything that would damage our reputation."
The tone of his voice left no room for doubt, and one could not tell that he had the slightest hint of guilt.
Nangong Chenyu raised his eyebrows: "Senior, what you mean is that this blood stone has not been soaked in the potion of dirty grass; or this blood stone has been soaked in the potion of dirty grass, but you don't know it?"
At this moment, the ancestor of the Qi family really hated Nangong Chenyu. If Nangong Chenyu had not suddenly jumped out, the Ye family would have become the object of scorn by everyone in Qiyucheng.
He really wanted to slap Nangong Chenyu to death.
Unfortunately, Nangong Chenyu is a disciple of Yunjue Palace. Even though his cultivation is much higher than Nangong Chenyu, he can only be polite to Nangong Chenyu in public.
Suppressing his anger, he tried to calm his facial expression and asked calmly, "Why are you so sure that this blood stone has been soaked in the potion of the foul grass?"
"Of course I smelled it."
Nangong Chenyu gave the Qi family's ancestor a look that said "you're stupid". Suddenly, he thought of the Ye family's ancestor, as well as the four elders of the Tianyi Sect and Taihua Sect, who also did not find any problems with the blood stone.
Now he only relies on his identity as a disciple of Yunjue Palace. The Ye family's ancestor is okay, as they are now in the same camp, but he must give the four elders a way out.
So he changed the subject and said, "Of course, not everyone can smell the scent of the foul grass on this blood stone. Only people with particularly sensitive noses and alchemists can smell it."
These words made the four elders, who had stiff expressions, secretly breathe a sigh of relief. They are not alchemists, so it is normal that they don't have a sensitive nose and can't smell it.
Originally, the ancestor of the Qi family wanted to refute, but after thinking about it, he felt that Nangong Chenyu’s words could be used as a reason for them to shirk responsibility.
After all, there is really something wrong with the Blood Stone.
If he insisted, Nangong Chenyu would definitely ask them to do a blood test first. By then, their Qi family will become the object of contempt by everyone in Qi Yucheng.
But before he could even say anything to go with the flow, his stupid teammate, the head of the Qi family, came online first.
I only heard the head of the Qi family say with great certainty: "The blood stone I brought cannot possibly have the smell of foul grass."
He knew better than anyone that the blood stone he brought had not been soaked in the potion of the foul grass. Besides, even if they really wanted to soak it in the potion of foul weed, they would definitely get rid of the smell.
Nangong Chenyu didn't expect that the head of the Qi family was so honest and dared to tell the truth in such a situation.
The ancestor of the Qi family was so angry that he glared at the head of the Qi family. When it's your turn to speak, you don't. You speak when you shouldn't.
The head of the Qi family doesn't think as quickly as the ancestor of the Qi family. Only after being glared at by the ancestor of the Qi family did he come to his senses and secretly cursed himself for being too impulsive.
He quickly made up for it: "I smelled it when I first got the Bloodline Stone."
The Qi family ancestor said unhappily: "Your nose is not sensitive, and you are not an alchemist, so naturally you can't smell the smell of the foul grass."
The head of the Qi family immediately responded: "It seems that the shop assistant was not serious about his work and took the wrong blood stone."
Shop Assistant: What a huge pot is thrown at me!
The Qi family ancestor was furious at his lack of resistance: "Why are you still standing there? Go get a piece of bloodline stone that has not been tampered with."
"Yes, ancestor. I'll go right away."
After saying this, the head of the Qi family flew away.
No one else spoke.
In the silent atmosphere, Nangong Chenyu tossed the blood stone in his hand up and down.
The heart of the Qi family's ancestor rose and fell with the blood stone, and he didn't breathe a sigh of relief until the head of the Qi family came back.
However, he relaxed too early.
The head of the Qi family spread out his hands, and a blood stone appeared in his hand: "As the head of the Qi family, I guarantee that there is absolutely no problem with this blood stone."
As soon as he finished speaking, Nangong Chenyu raised the blood stone in his hand and said, "So, Patriarch Qi now admits that there is something wrong with this blood stone?"
The head of the Qi family was stunned by the question. He thought that the ancestor had already dealt with the problem of the blood stone, but he didn't expect...
After a moment of hesitation, he reacted, weighed the pros and cons, and said, "It is indeed my fault for not finding out that there is something wrong with this blood stone. Afterwards, I will definitely fire the guy who made the mistake."
Shop Assistant: What did I do wrong?
Nangong Chenyu seemed modest and polite, but his words were aggressive: "If I hadn't stood up, then this bloodline stone would have found out that Ye Yisheng was not of the Ye family's bloodline. If it were any other time, this would just be a family affair of the Ye family."
"But now is the scene of the resource allocation competition in Qiyu City. Senior, do you think that the cultivation resources of the Ye family for the next ten years can be revealed with just one sentence from you?"
The head of the Qi family did not take it seriously at all: "The incident did not happen, and the Ye family did not suffer any losses. Besides, it is still unknown whether Ye Yisheng is a member of the Ye family."
The Ye family ancestor and Ye Chenyuan looked at each other, and Ye Chenyuan stood up.
"If it is finally determined that Ye Yisheng is not a member of my Ye family, my Ye family will not participate in the allocation of Qi Yucheng's resources for the next 20 years. But if it is finally determined that Ye Yisheng is a member of my Ye family, what should the head of the Qi family do?"
The head of the Qi family glanced at the Ye family members in the audience without leaving a trace. Seeing Ye Mingze shaking his head at him, his heart fell back to normal.
"Master Ye is so arbitrary, why doesn't he ask for the opinions of other members of the Ye family?"
He asked even though he knew that the other members of the Ye family would definitely agree. This is to prevent the Ye family from having a chance to regret.
Ye Mingpei in the audience stood up and shouted to the ring: "We support any decision made by the patriarch."
The other members of the Ye family acquiesced in his words.
Anyone with a brain knows that at times like this, they should unite to face the outside world, so naturally no one would stand up to oppose it.
When the head of the Qi family saw this, he sneered in his heart, but looked righteous on his face.
"In that case, let's do as Brother Ye said. If Ye Yisheng is ultimately found to not be of the Ye family's bloodline, the Ye family will give up the right to allocate Qi Yucheng's resources for the next twenty years. Otherwise, my Qi family will give the Ye family a satisfactory explanation."
Hearing this, Ye Chenyuan knew that the satisfactory explanation was just an excuse.
If we don't make it clear now, and if it is later detected that Ye Yishen is a member of the Ye family, the Qi family will definitely say that they doubted Ye Yishen's identity out of consideration for Qi Yucheng and the others, and will not give any benefits in return.
He has to get the benefits before the test.
"I wonder what Brother Qi means by a satisfactory explanation?"
Even though he knew from Ye Mingze that Ye Yisheng was not a member of the Ye family, Patriarch Qi did not dare to promise anything. There were people here with higher status than him, so he directly threw the question to the ancestor of the Qi family.
"What good suggestions do you have, old man?"
The ancestor of the Qi family pondered for a moment, and then thought of a spirit stone mine that had been giving the Qi family a headache. He immediately came up with an idea: "If this young man is really the blood of your Ye family, my Qi family will compensate your Ye family with the spiritual stone mine in the Qinling Mountains."
Ye Yisheng whispered, "Could it be a spirit stone mine that has already been mined?"
The Qi family ancestor glanced at Ye Yisheng and said, "My Qi family has only mined one tenth of it."
"I heard that your Qi family mined top-grade spirit stones there. My Ye family doesn't take away what others want, and we don't want spirit stone mines. If the Qi family is really interested, just give us spirit stones!"
Ye Chenyuan didn't believe that the Qi family would be so kind as to give them a top-grade spirit stone mine. There must be something wrong when something is out of the ordinary.
The Qi family head who was still a little reluctant: "..."
When the Seventh Elder of Taihua Sect saw Nangong Chenyu nod, which clearly showed that he agreed with Ye Chenyuan's words, he made the final decision: "Then give the spirit stones. If Ye Yisheng is a member of the Ye family, the Qi family will give the Ye family 500,000 medium-grade spirit stones."
When the Qi family patriarch was about to refuse, he received a message from the seventh elder: [Young friend Nangong’s elder brother is the direct disciple of Taoist Master Haoyan. 】
Anyone with eyes can see that Nangong Chenyu is on the side of the Ye family.
With just one sentence, the Qi family ancestor's refusal turned into: "Okay, we agree."
"Ancestor." The head of the Qi family exclaimed in surprise.
That’s 500,000 mid-grade spirit stones, not 500,000 low-grade spirit stones.
The Qi family patriarch raised his hand, signaling him not to say more.
“Please help me check this blood stone, little friend Nangong.” The ancestor of the Qi family took the blood stone from the hand of the head of the Qi family and handed it to Nangong Chenyu.
Nangong Chenyu took the blood stone and examined it carefully. After the inspection, he handed the blood stone to the four elders.
"There's no problem with the blood stone, let's start testing!"
Even though everyone said that there was nothing wrong with this blood stone, there was a problematic blood stone before. After Ancestor Ye dripped a drop of blood on the Blood Stone, without waiting for Ye Yisheng to drip blood, Ye Chenyuan was the first to squeeze out a drop of blood and drip it on the Blood Stone.
Everyone: “…”
The first person to drip blood is equivalent to recognizing the blood stone as the master. After that, no matter who sheds blood, as long as he is related by blood to the first person who shed blood, the blood stone will react.
After seeing the blood relationship indicated on the blood stone, Ye Chenyuan said to Ye Yisheng: "There should be no problem with this blood stone."
Others: “…”
The atmosphere in the ring suddenly became tense and everyone held their breath. Even in the audience, many people released their spiritual sense to stare at the Bloodline Stone.
"Tick~" Ye Yisheng's blood dripped on the blood stone.
Many people, led by the ancestor of the Qi family, were silently saying in their hearts: No reaction, no reaction.
