"That's right!"
Shu Lan breathed a sigh of relief when she heard Yun Yao say that.
"Then there's no problem."
"Huh? Huh?!" Yun Yao suddenly widened her eyes. "Hey, hey, hey! I'm talking about demonic energy! Not spiritual energy!"
"I know," Shu Lan nodded. "It's just demonic energy, isn't it? I have that."
"But, but, but aren't you a human cultivator? How can you have something like demonic energy?" Yun Yao was a little dizzy; she really couldn't understand what Shu Lan meant.
"What you don't know is that my cultivation technique can easily accomplish this!" Shu Lan said, while taking Qin An's hand and transferring her ancestral spiritual energy to him.
Yun Yao watched helplessly as the ancestral spiritual energy in Shu Lan's hand slowly, slowly turned into black demonic energy, and then was conducted into Qin An's body.
"What...what's going on?" Yun Yao pointed at Shu Lan in surprise, unable to speak coherently.
"The Primordial Spiritual Energy transformed from my Ancestral Spirit Scripture surpasses all other spiritual and demonic energies. Demonic energy is essentially a type of spiritual energy, only more violent, and its origin lies in Primordial Spiritual Energy. Therefore..."
"So the ancestral spiritual energy can be freely transformed into spiritual energy or demonic energy." Yun Yao automatically completed what Shu Lan hadn't said.
“That’s right, just change the way the spiritual energy circulates.” Shu Lan carefully controlled the demonic energy transformed from the ancestral spiritual energy in her hand, gently guiding the violent demonic energy within Qin An’s body.
With Shu Lan's help, Qin An's complexion improved significantly.
As time passed and Qin An's demonic bloodline awakened, more and more demonic energy began to surge from all around.
"This is bad!" Shu Lan frowned. "If this continues, it will attract all the cultivators from the Tengyun Gathering. The demonic energy here is getting stronger and stronger!"
"We need to move to a safe place quickly!" Yun Yao said anxiously, jumping up and down.
"A safe place?" Shu Lan's mind raced. "That's it!" Shu Lan suddenly thought of a good place.
"But if I take Xiao An with me, my secret will be exposed."
At this moment, Qin An let out a painful groan.
"Forget it, if the secret can't be kept, it can't be kept. Xiao An's safety is the most important thing now!" With that, Shu Lan hugged Qin An and held Yun Yao's small hand in one hand.
Shu Lan gently closed her eyes, sensing the space between his brows.
The blue magnolia flower mark between Shu Lan's eyebrows flickered, emitting a soft blue light.
Immediately afterwards, Shu Lan, Qin An, and Yun Yao disappeared from the spot, leaving only the lingering demonic energy to prove their existence.
"Wow! This place is so beautiful!" Yun Yao had just opened her eyes when she found herself in a place that looked like a fairyland.
Surrounded by mountains on all sides, in the center of the valley lies a crystal-clear azure lake, its waters reflecting the shadows of the mountains and the traces of clouds in the sky. In the center of the lake is a small island, upon which sits a beautiful cave. The island is covered with magnolia trees, now in full bloom, their blossoms filling the air with a delightful fragrance.
Shu Lan, Qin An, and Yun Yao were standing on this island at that moment.
Yun Yao looked around excitedly, then took off running all over the island.
After she had explored the island, she flew back at lightning speed. "Where is this? How did you find this place?" Yun Yao asked excitedly.
"This is the space between my eyebrows." Shu Lan was continuing to help Qin An channel the surging demonic energy within his body.
"Damn it! You had this space and didn't tell me?! Do you even consider me your spirit anymore?" Yun Yao gave Shu Lan a thumbs-down, something she learned from Shu Lan's shared memories.
"This is my trump card, and I can't easily show it to others."
"So I actually benefited from your disciple's situation this time. As soon as your disciple got into trouble, you brought him here without saying a word." Yun Yao suddenly slapped her forehead. "Ah! You're such a doting disciple maniac!"
Shu Lan ignored the berserk Yun Yao, focusing intently on observing whether Qin An's bloodline awakening process was going smoothly. He would lend a hand whenever Qin An encountered difficulties.
As Qin An reached the final moment of his bloodline awakening, he was enveloped in a dense demonic aura, which transformed into a cocoon, protecting him inside.
After a long wait, a series of "crackling" sounds were heard as the cocoon formed by demonic energy shattered.
Qin An opened his eyes in a daze, and the first thing he saw was Shu Lan standing guard beside him. He quickly rushed over and asked, "Brother Shizun, what happened to me?"
Shu Lan stared at the demonic mark between Qin An's eyebrows, thinking it looked rather cool on Xiao An's forehead. The mark consisted of a demonic eye and two demonic runes, and was predominantly purplish-black.
Shu Lan couldn't help but reach out a finger and gently touch the demonic mark between Qin An's eyebrows. "Little An, don't be afraid. You've just awakened your demonic bloodline."
"Wh-what?" Upon hearing the term "spirit demon bloodline," Qin An was struck dumb, his entire body stiffening.
Qin An was shocked to learn that Shi Xue's prediction had come true; he really did possess demonic blood, and he had even awakened it in front of his master. What would his master do? Would he expel him from the sect?
The thought that he might have to leave his master brother forever made Qin An's face turn pale and his eyes redden slightly.
"Xiao An, what's wrong?" Shu Lan was at a loss when she saw Qin An's pale face and the way he was about to cry.
"Brother Master, will I leave you forever?" Qin An said, his voice choked with emotion.
"No way, why would Xiao An think that way?" Shu Lan patted Qin An's head reassuringly.
"But, but, I now have demon blood in my veins." Qin An slowly lowered his head, not daring to look directly at Shu Lan.
"So what?" Shu Lan asked, somewhat puzzled.
"With the blood of the demon race, Master, Master will definitely expel me from the sect." Qin An closed his eyes in pain and used all his strength to say what he wanted to say.
"Silly Xiao An!" Just as Qin An lowered his head, preparing to accept the punishment of being expelled from the sect by his master, Shu Lan gently lifted his head with both hands. "How could your master expel you from the sect? My Xiao An is so good, how could your master bear to send you away?"
Qin An was stunned. He stared blankly at Shu Lan for a long time before he came to his senses. "But, I have demon blood, so I am a demon, and everyone will want to kill me."
"Who told you that?" Shu Lan's face darkened instantly.
