Although it was only a few hundred meters, Jiang Yuan, using the Wind Walk technique, still left Yin Hongtao and the other person far behind.
"Hand of Death!" Jiang Yuan clenched his fist in mid-air, reducing his divine energy reserves by ten points, and a blood-red figure appeared in his body.
"As expected, it's a high-level bloodline!"
Jiang Yuan was not surprised; this was within his expectations. After several trials, he had reached a preliminary judgment.
Extracting a level three mortal bloodline consumes less than ten points of divine energy, while the high-level bloodline he summoned using ten points of divine energy is considered one of the best among the high-level bloodlines.
The cost of extracting the royal vein is more than ten points. For example, the royal vein he obtained consumed fifteen points of his divine energy, while the five royal veins consumed forty-eight points of divine energy, almost draining his body.
According to his estimation, with his 81 points of divine power, he could at most extract bloodlines below the tenth level of the imperial lineage.
"Sir, you ran too fast!" Ren Hui arrived panting heavily. He dared not slack off at all, since he had already made up his mind, so his performance naturally had to be even better.
Yin Hongtao was dragged along by Ren Hui, and the two of them were clearly very interested in the bloodline that Jiang Yuan had just obtained.
Ren Hui didn't dare to ask, but Yin Hongtao, relying on her status as a woman, asked in a coquettish voice, "My lord, what bloodline did you obtain?"
"Trash!" Jiang Yuan said without changing his expression, and continued on his way to the next location where divine energy would react.
Jiang Yuan's words made Yin Hongtao feel a little ashamed and indignant, but Jiang Yuan had already set off on his own. Now that they had arrived at the inheritance point, it didn't matter whether he took Yin Hongtao and Ren Hui with him or not.
"Red Peach, forget it. This gentleman has his own principles, and you can't sway him with just a few words!" Ren Hui shook his head helplessly.
"Ren Hui, am I really that unattractive now? Why is he completely unmoved by me!" Yin Hongtao stared blankly at Jiang Yuan's departing figure.
"How could that be? Perhaps this lord has seen so much life and death that he doesn't value women much!" Ren Hui said with a wry smile. There are many people like this in the apocalypse. Not to mention not being interested in women, there are quite a few who have completely lost their feelings.
"Really? Then I'll climb into his bed!" Yin Hongtao's eyes were full of obsession. After saying that, she rushed towards Jiang Yuan's location.
"Sigh! Ugly, not sweet-talking, ugly, and broke." A hint of dejection flashed across Ren Hui's expression. He was not a good-looking person to begin with. His face was full of fat and he was ugly. The key was that he had no ability.
He had confessed his feelings to Yin Hongtao a few days ago, but she ignored him completely and only treated him as a fighting comrade.
As his bloodlines were collected one by one, Jiang Yuan's divine power was on the verge of exhaustion. Only now did he realize the extraordinary nature of the Holy Spirit Source.
Using the Holy Spirit Stone to restore single psychic energy is fine, but using it to restore divine energy is insufficient. The rate at which divine energy is consumed far exceeds the rate at which it is restored, which forces him to rest after walking a certain distance.
To maintain combat power, it is necessary to allow divine energy a buffer period. This is why he misses the Holy Spirit Source. The Holy Spirit Source restores divine energy at a speed more than ten times that of the Holy Spirit Stone. Unfortunately, the Holy Spirit Source had already disappeared when he activated the Unyielding Fighting Spirit.
"Sir, you must be tired! This is a specialty from my hometown. Please sit down and rest for a while!"
Yin Hongtao's cheeks were flushed from running, but she still took out an apple from her bosom and fanned him with her hand.
Jiang Yuan glanced at the apple. He was a little suspicious of where the woman had taken the apple from. Could it be that she also had a storage ring?
Feeling Jiang Yuan's gaze, Yin Hongtao said shyly, "The apple has been washed, you can eat it directly!"
Before he finished speaking, the apple was already in Jiang Yuan's hand.
"Identified by the Heavenly Eye!"
Jiang Yuan subconsciously examined the apple. Although he had acquired the Divine Wood Canon and had initially gained immunity to all poisons, he needed to know Yin Hongtao's purpose.
"Is it not poisonous?" Jiang Yuan didn't notice anything unusual about the apple. It was just an ordinary apple, not even a spiritual fruit.
Yin Hongtao stared intently at Jiang Yuan, wanting to see him eat it himself.
"Here you go!" Jiang Yuan tossed the apple to Ren Hui without a second thought, then sat down to recover his divine power.
The only saving grace is that he has enough Holy Spirit Stones, so it's only a matter of time before he regains his divine power.
Yin Hongtao's expression immediately fell. She had been anxiously waiting for the other person to accept her feelings, but she never expected that he would give them to someone else in the blink of an eye.
"Thank you, sir. Then I won't be polite!" Ren Hui took it and started munching on it with a couple of crunches.
"Sir, but that was a gift I gave..."
Before Yin Hongtao could finish speaking, Jiang Yuan interrupted her, "Ren Hui, where is the entrance to the second floor?"
"Sir, I'll take you there right away!" Ren Hui immediately understood what he meant, and after wolfing down the apple, he led the way.
Jiang Yuan remained silent, clutching the Holy Spirit Stone in his hand, and followed.
"Hmph!" Yin Hongtao stomped her foot angrily, then followed after him.
Before long, the entrance to the second floor appeared in front of Jiang Yuan.
The entrance was neither the staircase Jiang Yuan had imagined, nor the elevator-like teleportation array he had fantasized about, but a cliff face perpendicular to the ground. There were no points of leverage on the cliff face, just like a vertically placed mirror.
"The second level of the inheritance point is right there!" Ren Hui pointed to the cliff that was at least fifty meters high.
Although Jiang Yuan had doubts, he did not ask directly. Instead, he immediately placed his hand gently on the cliff.
"hiss!"
With a gasp, Ren Hui smiled wryly and said, "Isn't it strange?"
Jiang Yuan took a few steps back and looked up. The fifty-meter cliff was almost entirely a smooth, mirror-like surface.
“This cliff can absorb energy!” When Jiang Yuan placed his hand on the cliff earlier, he could feel his divine energy disappearing at a very slow speed, and the destination was the cliff.
"That's right! Entering the inheritance point isn't unconditional. The cliffs on each level are the key to determining whether someone is qualified to enter the next level! If you can climb up using your internal energy, then you're qualified! But if you fall down..."
Ren Hui shrugged, looked at the fifty-meter-high cliff, and sighed, "Even a fifth-tier strength-type cultivator would be in trouble falling from this height!"
"Twelve levels!" Jiang Yuan realized something and asked, "Are there any differences in the bloodline levels that appear on each level of the inheritance point?"
He felt that the twelve imperial bloodlines were closely related to the twelve layers of inheritance points. If the quality of the bloodline was linked to the number of inheritance points, then the difficulty of obtaining it would be very high.
Just kidding, who could stand having to go up to the twelfth floor to get the twelve-round royal vein? But the possibility is very low. After all, he got a five-round royal vein in that barren land outside, and a four-round royal vein on the first floor. Surely, there would be more than six rounds above!
"No, that's not it. The twelfth level of the inheritance point is just a matter of probability. The lower the level, the lower the chance of obtaining a high-quality bloodline!"
"And there's another crucial factor!"
