216 Dalong Prefecture, Twenty-four
Wei Ming was startled and was just about to react when a blade flashed past him, heading towards his back. Suddenly, in the void, it transformed into a thin line, and then...
Motionless in mid-air. In an instant, an eagle, slightly smaller than Wei Ming and about three feet tall, was pulled out of the void as if from nowhere.
Upon seeing the eagle, Wei Ming was instantly startled. He blurted out, "Fifth Elder!"
The eagle, bound by the sharp lines, struggled desperately, trying to break free and escape.
He Chen ignored her and squatted down to carefully count the medicinal herbs on the ground.
Just then, Butler Kim entered, intending to inquire. He was startled by the scene before him. A voice came from beside him, "It's nothing, Butler Kim, please go and prepare breakfast."
Butler Jin quickly agreed and then slowly left.
He Chen carefully inventoried the medicinal herbs. There were indeed quite a few. There was century-old angelica, century-old gold, and ginseng. After counting them all, he put them away.
He took out the Fire Spirit Fruit and Thunder Spirit Fruit from last night. These are good things too. He just didn't know how effective they were now. Then he swallowed them directly.
A surge of power instantly coursed through his entire body. It was as if, in that instant, his understanding of fire and lightning had deepened a little more.
Looking at the attributes, the Thunderfire Heart Sutra has leveled up from 3000 to 3100. What a huge profit! It seems that we will eventually have to deal with this prestigious sect in the future.
Then he took out the Bloodline Pill and threw it directly to Wei Ming. The moment he caught it, the Fifth Elder behind him stopped struggling.
A faint fragrance, a yearning from the depths of one's blood, a yearning so intense at this moment. A pair of eyes looked hopefully at Weiming.
Looking at the goddess in his heart, Wei Ming was extremely excited. He then picked up the Bloodline Pill and examined it carefully.
He remained quiet and undisturbed. He never interfered with any of the choices I made.
Wei Ming's expression was resolute. "Fifth Elder, from now on you'll follow me. I promise I won't let you down."
After saying that, he swallowed the Bloodline Pill with a resolute expression. Then, his eyes widened. Why didn't he feel anything at all?
He had only thought for a moment when a sudden, excruciating pain shot through him from all directions. The pain flushed his face, and he trembled violently. His hands went limp, and he collapsed to the ground.
But he kept his mouth tightly shut, refusing to make a sound. He persisted there, his face showing extreme pain and endurance, but he wouldn't utter a sound no matter what. He tried hard to control his breathing, making it more rhythmic.
The bones seemed to be crackling and popping, as if they were being reshaped. A surge of heat coursed through the blood vessels, coursing through the meridians of the entire body.
The feathers were instantly covered with bloodstains, as if they had emerged from a sea of blood.
He sat slumped on the ground, motionless, except for his forehead. A slight twitch indicated he was still alive.
The Fifth Elder forgot to struggle. Suddenly, he felt a release all over his body; the ropes binding him had vanished without a trace.
Weiming's master didn't even glance at him. He stood quietly to the side, unafraid that Weiming would run away, perhaps never caring at all.
At this moment, the Fifth Elder was filled with horror. The yearning she had just felt from her bloodline made her realize that this was the elixir that could advance her bloodline, and that she herself longed for it just as much.
This pill is extremely valuable, which explains why Wei Ming is working so hard. Wei Ming's frequent trips to human markets have already aroused her suspicion.
Previously, he had only observed secretly. This time, relying on his awakened dual talents—the Wind Talent and the Stealth Talent—he had never failed in his observation and ambush attempts.
Having followed Wei Ming for so long, and even secretly approaching the border with him a few times, I always had a feeling when we got too close. It told me: Don't follow.
This time, it was discovered that Wei Ming was secretly collecting medicinal herbs everywhere. And he was reluctant to eat them himself. So, I quietly followed him without him noticing.
Following along, unexpectedly, Wei Ming secretly ran away again. Flying towards the border region, this time he couldn't resist the temptation to peek into the secrets and quietly followed, also planning to escape instantly if there was any danger.
Unexpectedly, he was discovered by Master Weiming the moment he quietly approached the courtyard. He was no longer restrained, but he had lost all desire to escape. If this human were him, he could have easily defeated him with a flick of his wrist.
Moreover, the allure of the Bloodline Pill filled the Fifth Elder with longing. She could even sense a refined, concentrated essence within the pill—the very essence of bloodline evolution that she craved.
For demonic beasts, the suppression of bloodlines is an extremely terrifying thing. However, they also deeply desire high-level bloodlines. If they could devour a high-level bloodline, it would undoubtedly greatly help their cultivation.
However, even for those with advanced bloodlines, devouring blood is fraught with danger. Advanced bloodlines contain hidden inheritances. Directly consuming blood and flesh within such bloodlines, along with the immense power and hidden dangers, is a gamble with one's life.
Unless elders from various clans help with the refining process and provide protection, the success rate will not be greatly increased. If it can be refined into a pill, the risk will be minimized.
Seeing Wei Ming's rapid increase in strength, even though he concealed it well, still attracted their attention. After all, intelligent demons and monsters could cooperate to greatly increase their strength in a short period of time.
Such things happen quite normally among demon beasts. After their intelligence awakens, demon beasts usually don't possess a high level of intelligence. They need to learn from their elders within their clan to improve more quickly.
At this moment, such a monstrous beast is exactly what evil spirits love to tempt. Like a three-year-old child, whatever you tell it, it might believe it to be true.
Demons tempt monsters to gain power, sacrificing their own companions or other monsters in the process. This can happen periodically.
However, demonic power is extremely detestable to monsters, and once a monster becomes tainted by a demon, its aura grows increasingly intense. The deeper the taint, the more repulsive the aura becomes.
Therefore, intelligent monsters are very sensitive to auras. If they detect an unpleasant aura, the most direct solution is to eliminate the monster to ensure their own safety.
Wei Ming's strength improved rapidly. However, she didn't possess any unpleasant aura; otherwise, the other elders, including her, would probably have killed her immediately.
As for whether it's a pity, that's definitely not the case. The number and reproduction rate of demonic beasts are incomparable to those of humans.
At this moment, Wei Ming lay on the ground, completely paralyzed. Blood flowed from his body, and his breath grew weaker and weaker.
