【No.】
"Then, seize the innate bloodline attribute."
Li Ming made his choice instantly without hesitation.
In this world, a powerful bloodline is also a manifestation of talent. Generally speaking, the descendants of powerful martial artists have a much higher probability of producing offspring with high aptitude.
The cultivation of martial artists can be seen as an evolution of their life level.
For example, martial artists at the Body Tempering Realm begin to undergo marrow and blood exchange to break through the limits of their physical bodies.
When a martial artist reaches a high level, their blood contains immense power.
Some evil and unorthodox individuals kill people to refine their blood in order to quickly improve themselves.
Legend has it that the blood of a Martial Saint is enough to bring immense benefits to ordinary martial artists, not to mention those above the Martial Saint level, whose blood is known as "divine blood".
Li Ming had read in ancient books that some supreme experts, as their descendants, would use their own blood to forge an unparalleled foundation for them.
"call!"
After Li Ming obtained the [Innate Extraordinary Blood], the white mist he exhaled was now tinged with blood red, and his blood and qi surged and boiled, his powerful energy becoming violent.
Li Ming's skin turned crimson, the blood flowing through his limbs seemed restless, his heart pounded, and his body felt as if it were burning from the inside out.
"What's going on?"
Li Ming sensed the situation he was in and immediately felt something was wrong. He then circulated his cultivation technique to condense his own qi and blood.
The Primordial Qi began to continuously repair his physical body. The sudden surge in Qi and blood contained too much energy, and he seemed unable to withstand it for a while.
After a while.
Li Ming's blood and qi gradually calmed down. Then, at the heart, his blood began to transform, becoming distinctly different from the blood in other parts of his body, its color even tinged with a faint golden light.
Every drop of his heart's blood is no ordinary blood; losing even one drop is a loss to Li Ming's life. The energy contained within is unimaginable.
"This is essence blood?"
Feeling the transformation of the heart's blood within his heart, Li Ming was also astonished.
It is said that only the body of a Martial Saint begins to transform into fresh blood from the heart, which is the essence of the body's blood. Now, Li Ming, with his [innate extraordinary blood], has already begun to transform, and the benefits it brings are naturally enormous.
Li Ming felt the changes and improvements in himself. First of all, his true energy had become more powerful and vigorous than before, like a great river.
The biggest change, however, is his own heart's blood. Li Ming has a feeling that if he activates this blood in his heart, his combat power will likely increase dramatically.
Just like Lu Lishen's final outburst, his opponent clearly did not transform the alien blood into essence blood like he did, thus not being able to control it perfectly. However, even so, it brought Lu Lishen a great boost.
Thinking of this, Li Ming couldn't help but worry that after he activated this essence blood, his intelligence might drop drastically like Lu Lishen's.
Whether his strength has actually increased is unknown.
Li Ming snapped out of his daze, looked at the corpses scattered on the ground, and quickly realized... it was time to collect the spoils of war again.
Li Ming got up and immediately began to search the corpse.
A short while later, a perfectly intact ring was found on Lu Lishen's body.
As expected, the other party did indeed possess a storage magic item.
Looking at the densely packed contents inside, Li Ming felt relieved.
Lu Lishen was clearly quite confident in his own strength, as he carried all his valuable treasures with him at all times.
This is a good habit, Li Ming silently gave it a thumbs up.
Soon, they spotted one of the black boxes that looked quite unusual.
Li Ming immediately opened it and saw several secret manuals and a small token engraved with the character "Saint".
Among these manuals, one of them is "Overlord Fist".
"good!"
Li Ming was overjoyed. One of his main purposes in coming here was to obtain the inheritance of the Heavenly Saint Sect.
Although it wasn't the body-refining method he wanted most, the Overlord Fist technique already satisfied him.
After all, this is a top-tier martial arts manual!
They are pursuing a path of dominating the world and being invincible.
Its reputation is also quite resounding. As the supreme martial art of the Heavenly Saint Sect, it has made a great name for itself in the world and is hailed by many as the number one fist in the world.
Li Ming opened it and found it to be in perfect condition. It seemed to belong to a former super expert of the Heavenly Saint Sect who had unfortunately died in Lianyun Mountain and was looking for a successor.
Lu Lishen was lucky; he actually got it.
After gathering his thoughts, Li Ming headed deeper into the mountain stronghold. Not everyone in the stronghold deserved to die; many innocent women had been abducted there, and of course, there was plenty of wealth waiting for him to acquire.
It's impossible for Lu Lishen to carry all the treasures in the stronghold on his person.
Although these valuables may not seem like much to Li Ming right now, they are still a form of wealth!
Li Ming, ever the familiar face he was, went straight to the back hall. As soon as he entered, he saw several pretty women trembling and hiding in the corner.
Seeing Li Ming's cold and stern face, extraordinary temperament, and Six Doors uniform, one of the women in blue calmed herself down, her eyes lit up, and she stepped forward.
"Sir, who are you?"
Li Ming looked closely and saw that the other party was not a martial arts practitioner, but a frail woman. He said in a deep voice:
"I am Li Ming, a Golden Constable from the Six Doors, here to annihilate the bandits of Lianyun Mountain."
The woman in blue asked tremblingly, "Really? Then... what about those bandits?"
Li Ming said solemnly, "No need to worry, they have all been killed by me."
Upon hearing this, the woman in green was both surprised and delighted, finding it hard to believe. After all, there had been powerful figures who had tried to wipe out Lianyun Mountain before, but they were often killed before they even saw Lu Lishen.
Seeing that Li Ming had single-handedly swept through the entire Lianyun Mountain, she felt as if she were in a dream. She pinched her cheek to realize that she was not dreaming.
She knew Li Ming wouldn't lie to her, so she immediately turned to the women in the hall and shouted, "Don't be afraid, everyone! Lord Li has come to save us!"
Upon hearing the woman in blue's words, everyone relaxed, clearly trusting her completely. Many even wept with joy and hugged each other tightly.
As the saying goes, serving a ruler is like serving a tiger. Serving these capricious bandits was even more unbearable for them, each day feeling like a year, fearing that the slightest mistake would lead to their death, or even worse, a quick death...
"Lord Li, there are still some women being held captive in the dungeon by the bandits. I know where the dungeon is; I'll take you there."
"good."
Li Ming nodded in agreement. He would see it through to the end, and besides, saving these people would also provide him with a little bit of life energy.
Moreover, as a high-ranking official in the imperial court, he is now a legitimate government official, so it would be good for him to gain a good reputation.
The woman in green led Li Ming toward the dungeon. During their conversation, Li Ming learned her name: Liu Qingyun.
She was originally a young lady from a small family, but the entire Liu family was robbed by the Lianyun bandits. Because of her good looks, she was taken as a concubine by Lu Lishen.
"Most of the women in the mountain stronghold are unfortunate women who were kidnapped from outside by the Lianyun bandits, some even from far away from their original families. Those who disobey are punished by being locked in dungeons... Recently, another young lady was kidnapped and tortured here, and it is said that Lu Lishen personally took action..."
Liu Qingyun talked with Li Ming as they walked.
