Time passed second by second. Dan Bingli was inside the blood-red sphere, her eyes tightly closed, her face growing paler and almost transparent.
Her figure appeared somewhat illusory under the light and shadow. At this moment, she could clearly feel the spiritual power and blood in her body constantly boiling, but only locally, seemingly due to the insufficient azure color.
Just like a few springs gurgling beneath a calm lake surface, trying their best to stir up waves across the entire body of water, but their power is scattered and limited, making it difficult to achieve.
Dan Bingli's brows furrowed tightly, and her forehead was covered with fine beads of sweat. The sweat slid down her pale cheeks and dripped onto her clothes, instantly soaking a small patch.
Every ray of red light that entered her body caused her lips to tremble slightly, as if she were enduring immense pain, yet she forced herself not to make a sound, though her tightly clenched lower lip was already stained with traces of blood.
Within this crimson sphere where light and shadow intertwine, she could sense that the unusual movements of her spiritual energy and blood were mainly concentrated in the area that echoed the faint blue hues.
Each time one of those few flashes of azure light appears, the spiritual energy and blood in the corresponding area surge with an even stronger boiling sensation, as if eagerly craving the injection of more azure light to completely awaken the dormant power of the bloodline.
However, although the crimson light and shadow around her still occupied the majority of her body, it could not provide her with the special assistance that she desperately needed, the kind that resonated with her bloodline.
Dan Bingli was extremely anxious. If she couldn't let the boiling sensation in this area spread throughout her body and fully activate her bloodline power, this attempt to activate her bloodline with the help of the Primordial Bloodline Stone would most likely end in failure.
He could only concentrate his mental energy and guide the localized boiling caused by the remaining azure light, hoping to use this as an opportunity to gradually expand the scope of influence, so that the spiritual power and blood in his body would burn like a wildfire and break through the bottleneck of bloodline activation.
......
A day later, the crimson sphere that had been enveloping Dan Bingli slowly floated into the air.
Click
With a soft sound, the crimson sphere suddenly shattered, the light vanished instantly, and the fragments flew away, leaving faint traces of light and shadow in the air before disappearing completely.
Dan Bingli's figure slowly appeared, standing quietly in place, her figure swaying unsteadily, as if a gentle breeze could blow her over.
Her face was as pale as paper, devoid of any color, and her lips were cracked and peeling, with traces of blood that were truly shocking.
At this moment, her eyes were blank, revealing a sense of bewilderment and loss, and a hint of shattering. The flame of hope in her heart had been ruthlessly extinguished, leaving only a desolate and barren place.
Clearly, this bloodline activation attempt ended in failure.
The room fell into a deathly silence, with only Dan Bingli's slightly trembling body and faint breathing indicating the heaviness and sorrow of the moment.
After a long while, Dan Bingli seemed to come back to her senses, slowly raising her eyes to look at Qin Luo. Her gaze was empty and lifeless, and her voice was hoarse as she said:
"In the end... we still failed..."
After she finished speaking, she slowly lowered her head, her heart filled with bitterness.
This failure came at a terrible cost to her.
Not only was the incredibly precious ancient bloodline stone wasted, but we also incurred a debt of five million spirit points.
She was already pressed for time and lacked cultivation resources. This heavy debt is undoubtedly adding insult to injury. For some time to come, she will likely be held back by this debt and unable to make any further progress.
Seeing her like this, Qin Luo felt that the time was right and slowly moved forward.
As Dan Bingli saw him approach, she slightly raised her eyes, suppressing the bitterness in her heart, biting her chapped lips, and said in a hoarse, cold voice:
"I will try my best to repay you with spiritual points in the future."
"No need to worry."
As she finished speaking, a stubborn look appeared in her eyes. Although she knew that the debt of five million spirit points was like a heavy mountain, making it hard for her to breathe, she still wanted to repay it through her own efforts, even if the process would be extremely difficult and might take up her long cultivation career.
After saying this, she turned to leave, wanting only to find a secluded place to be alone and sort out the chaos in her heart.
Qin Luo moved aside, blocking her way. Upon seeing this, a hint of confusion flashed in Dan Bingli's broken eyes.
Qin Luo smiled faintly:
“Miss Dan, you misunderstand. There’s no need to rush the matter of spiritual value. However, I still have one question: can the Primordial Bloodline Stone give birth to other bloodlines?”
Dan Bingli was slightly taken aback; she hadn't expected Qin Luo to ask such a question at this moment. She looked at Qin Luo quietly, remained silent for a moment, and then slowly spoke in a clear, hoarse voice:
"No, you can only increase the concentration of your own bloodline."
Having said that, she didn't want to explain any further and tried to walk past Qin Luo to leave.
At this moment, she was filled with the pain of this failure and the uncertainty about the future, and had no mind to discuss other matters concerning the Primordial Bloodline Stone in detail.
This time, Qin Luo didn't stop him. Instead, he took out the Saint-level Primordial Blood Source Stone from his system space and said, feigning slight regret:
"That is indeed a pity. It seems that this Primordial Blood Source Stone is no longer of any use to me."
As Qin Luo spoke, he shook his head slightly, his face full of regret, but his eyes secretly watched Tantai Bingli's departing figure.
These seemingly casual words echoed in the quiet room, causing Dan Bingli to pause involuntarily.
She slowly turned her head, her gaze unconsciously falling in the direction of Qin Luo. This glance instantly widened her eyes, filling them with astonishment.
Qin Luo held a stone steadily in his hand. The stone was a perfect sphere and exuded an ancient aura.
Upon closer inspection, the stone is surrounded by a dazzling light, which intertwines with the golden splendor and the colorful brilliance, making it almost impossible to look away.
Upon seeing the stone in his hand, Dan Bingli's heart was instantly filled with shock and disbelief.
Her chapped lips trembled slightly, and then a gasp of surprise escaped her lips:
"Saint-grade Primordial Blood Source Stone!"
This exclamation sounded particularly abrupt in the silent space, yet it truly reflected the level of shock Tantai Bingli was experiencing at that moment.
It should be noted that in this vast world, ancient bloodline stones that have been passed down have always been extremely rare and precious items.
This Saint-level Primordial Blood Source Stone is a resource that was extremely rare even in ancient times.
