Chapter 63 Chapter 63
While the system was threatening Gu Yu, Xuan Yin was also threatening Jin Keqi.
Her mental strength, the pressure she exuded, and her ability to kill Jin Keqi at any time left Jin Keqi with no choice.
He opened and closed his mouth and talked a lot about the elixir of longevity.
"In the northwest corner of the palace, there's a research institute that keeps a group of blood slaves. The most important raw material for longevity medicine is indeed the blood of the blood slaves..."
"Blood slaves often escape, and those caught will be punished with capital punishment..."
"The raw materials for longevity medicine are... I only know of these dozen or so..."
"It's very addictive. The onset isn't particularly intense, but the discomfort is lingering, like a blunt knife cutting flesh. The mental addiction is especially strong..."
"How did the first generation of blood slaves come about? I really don't know, but there are records in the royal family that Emperor Xingtai, my great-grandfather, the first long-lived emperor of the empire, had a dedicated blood slave. Before his death, he ordered that blood slave to be buried with him."
"How did Emperor Xingtai die? He felt his end was near, and committed suicide in front of the Divine Tower... Yes, my grandfather later died in the same way. Before his death, he did kill a group of blood slaves to bury him with him."
Jin Keqi broke out in a cold sweat. Why did he have the feeling that she could guess three sentences out of every one he said?
Xuan Yin looked at him expressionlessly, "They say the Imperial Tower is stronger than the Federation Tower. Is it because of this human sacrifice?"
Jin Keqi didn't want to say it, but the price of not saying it was countless strands of mental power as thin as cow hair piercing his mind. He could only say, "Yes! However, human sacrifice has been around for a long time! But four hundred years ago, the effect suddenly improved. It was from then on that the divine power lent by the divine tower became more and more powerful."
Xuanyin was silent for a moment, then asked, "Then let me ask you, does it mean that everyone who takes the longevity elixir will die in front of the Divine T Tower?"
Jin Keqi was surprised and asked, "How do you know?"
Xuanyin didn't answer this question: "One last question, do all blood slaves look alike, or even have the same face?"
If he hadn't been held down by his mental power, Jin Keqi would have almost jumped up: "You know all this!"
Xuanyin stood up and said with a cold smile: "I know, I know a lot."
She scooped up a spoonful of Mengpo soup and walked in front of Jin Keqi.
Jin Keqi was horrified: "I've told you everything I know! You can't kill me!"
Xuanyin held him down and poured the liquid into his mouth.
Jin Keqi's eyes suddenly became hazy and dull, then he slowly closed his eyes and fell asleep. When he woke up, he would forget what happened tonight.
Of course, he would remember that someone whose face he couldn't see sneaked into his room, but he couldn't remember what happened after that.
Xuanyin looked at him coldly.
If I am not mistaken, the "first blood slave" is my senior brother.
The "blood slaves" that follow are all related to the senior brother.
Senior brother is immortal. His body is very special. Every active cell in his body can divide and differentiate when necessary, grow into a human again, and then inherit part of his brother's physical appearance, memory and abilities.
Yes, only a part of it. After all, this is just a human being cultured from a single cell.
And people born in this way will not live very long. After a few generations, they will become more and more ordinary and mediocre until they can no longer be divided.
So the Empire's solution was: One senior brother has limited blood? Then produce more of them. Will the medicine be less effective? That's fine, the lower-quality medicine will be given to those with smaller doses. Mass production is the top priority.
When the blood effect of the "blood slaves" made in this way becomes worse and worse, they are killed directly, or dragged to the front of the divine tower and killed. This is a sacrificial ritual, performed for the world to see, and it can also cover up the real secret of the blood slaves.
Combined with the tradition of human sacrifice, Xuanyin guessed that the divine tower needed human souls, which could enhance the power of the divine tower.
Those who have taken the longevity drug will have a longer life and a stronger soul, so they must die in front of the divine tower so that the divine tower can "eat" their souls.
"Hahaha." Xuan Yin sneered. So why did the Divine Pagoda hand Senior Brother over to the Imperial Family? It was to help him live longer, strengthen his soul, and offer him as a sacrifice to the Divine Pagoda.
Perhaps the Divine Tower initially wanted Senior Brother's soul more? But Senior Brother happened to be soulless. His body could be resurrected infinitely under non-extreme circumstances. If he also had a soul that could be resurrected infinitely, that would be too absurd.
So, was Senior Brother really buried alive? Impossible, that burial was probably just a trick to tell those in the know that this first generation of blood slaves was dead, but in fact they were still hidden somewhere.
But the people of the Empire probably don’t know that because of the special physique of his senior brother, each of his “clones” carries a breath of his, and Xuanyin has been trained to find him through this breath.
In other words, as long as she comes into contact with one of them, she will be able to sense the presence of the original body!
Xuanyin paced back and forth excitedly. Blood slaves! She needed them! The more the better! Preferably, blood slaves of her own generation!
But how do we ask the Imperials for blood slaves?
She took a deep breath, and the system's voice suddenly sounded: "Host, are you okay here?"
Xuanyin: "Well, you can go now."
She glanced at the unconscious Jin Keqi. It was pointless to rely on him. In the Federation, he was not even as powerful as Wang Weihai.
"Then I won't delay any more on Gu Yu's side?"
"Um."
Xuanyin said this and walked out of the villa.
After a while, the system said again: "Done, there is a small tail over there with Gu Yu, and he found the tail."
Xuanyin was thinking about something and asked casually, "What tail?"
"It's one of their own people in the empire, possessed by a god. It's the strange divine clothing that Jin Keqi used last time, following Gu Yu stealthily."
"Gu Yu has caught the tail."
"He's very angry."
"He started questioning the other party."
"Wow, he's quite good at questioning. The man confessed quickly, saying that Wang Weihai sent him because he thought Gu Yushi was here to see you and wanted to get close to you."
"Wow, Gu Yugeng is even more angry. He called Wang Weihai to question him."
"Host, there are not many Imperials in the Federation, and now you are going to cause a split."
Xuanyin had already reached the street outside and asked, "Did the federal military succeed?"
"Let me take a look. I can't see anything. Let me ask... Oh, the military contact said they just got 14 pills. They're not sure if they're longevity pills, so they asked what you want to do with them."
Xuanyin said, "Give me four, and let them study the rest as they please. Then tell them about the existence of blood slaves."
Xuanyin briefly explained the situation: "Just say that the most precious ingredient in the longevity elixir is the blood of a blood slave, and then they should find a way to get a blood slave."
Then, you can take advantage of it.
If they don't get it, then find another way.
She returned home, so excited that she could hardly sleep, but at the same time she was worried about her senior brother's situation.
Suddenly thinking of something, she sat up and opened an e-book.
[…In the seventy-eighth year of Xingtai, a blood slave escaped from the palace. Emperor Xingtai aged ten years in a single day… He then conscripted thousands of handsome young boys, drained their blood, and created a human blood bath…]
Looking at this passage again now, Xuanyin feels differently. She can almost restore the original appearance of the matter.
In the 78th year of Xingtai, the senior brother escaped, which made the Xingtai Emperor, who had been drinking his blood, age suddenly. After that, he recruited thousands of handsome boys to take human blood medicine baths. I'm afraid these so-called handsome boys were all cultivated with the senior brother's cells.
Emperor Xingtai couldn't even wait for these people to grow up, and he couldn't wait to use them as soon as they became virgin boys.
Behind that line of bloody words, there are not only the painful deaths of countless lives, but also the only one who suffered from beginning to end, my senior brother!
Xuanyin was so angry that her lungs were about to explode. Not only was she angry, she also felt disgusted. This kind of behavior was too inhumane!
As for why my senior brother was captured later, it might be due to the Divine Tower.
The tower! The tower!
Xuanyin took a deep breath, lay down, and tried to conserve her energy. One day, she would be able to overthrow this damn divine tower!
Afterwards, Gu Yu explained to Xuan Yin that he didn't know there was a little tail following him, and he had no intention of plotting against Xuan Yin, but Xuan Yin had hypnotized him to sleep with her mental power, and the only thing that responded to him was the system.
The system still spoke kindly to Gu Yu in a cunning manner, saying that it believed in his character and was just using this method to remind him.
He then went on to talk in gossip about how the imperial people actually suspected their own people and how it was not worth it.
The system was playing with great enthusiasm. It thought that the host hated the empire, so it would sow discord among the people of the empire whenever possible, and would alienate them whenever possible, preferably letting them fight among themselves.
It had a lot of fun, but Gu Yu had mixed feelings.
He really didn't expect that Wang Weihai would actually send people to follow and monitor him. If it weren't for Jin Ge Baoju's reminder, he might not have noticed it for a long time. Who would suspect his own people?
Even though Wang Weihai explained that it was not directed at him, but he wanted to use this opportunity to get close to Jin Ge and have anal sex, he still felt seriously offended.
The Empire actually has more eight-star spirit possessors than the Federation, so their status is not as high as that of the Federation. Especially for someone like him who refuses to take longevity medicine, he is excluded from the core circle, so he is not actually taken that seriously.
But his extraordinary strength still made him unable to tolerate such an offense.
His face became increasingly cold and hard, as if covered with frost.
At this moment, he received a call saying that Jin Keqi was unconscious in his bedroom and there were obvious signs of intrusion in the room!
Gu Yu frowned: "I'll go back immediately."
…
Xuanyin was so angry that she forced herself to sleep all night. Then she woke up the next day with a bloated head because she was so angry.
System: "Luckily, it's just a headache. I heard someone fell asleep with anger and became a fool."
Xuanyin: "Shut up!"
Then she received a call from Xia Chengying, saying that the soldier hoped to exchange his life for hers today.
I'm really anxious.
Thinking of that resolute, decisive and grateful warrior, Xuanyin was very satisfied. Such a high-quality soul should be used by her.
Your divine tower can intercept souls to strengthen itself, and so can I!
System: "The good news is that they are on the capital planet. The bad news is that they are in the 17th Special Zone, which is very far away from here."
Xuanyin said, "Distance is not a problem. Just tell Cheng Shuhui that I miss He Zhiyi and want to go find her. Please arrange a car for me."
