So, where exactly does the problem lie?
While Shi Xuan was deep in thought, a layer of white hairs began to appear on Lu Wenxing's face.
He Weiqing also saw this situation. He looked at Shi Xuan with a questioning gaze and asked her what was going on.
Shi Xuan shook her head; she didn't know either. Moreover, her second senior brother's reaction time far exceeded the recorded reaction time for taking the Rejuvenation Pill.
He seems to be somewhat different from others.
But since things have come to this point, Shi Xuan cannot interfere with the process of him generating new meridians. If he is not careful, he may regret it for the rest of his life.
Another half hour passed, and Shi Xuan and He Weiqing stared intently at Lu Wenxing, who had repeatedly shown white hairs.
This feeling of not knowing what's going on is the most unpleasant.
Shi Xuan had not experienced such a feeling of losing control for a long time.
At this moment, Lu Shenzhi suddenly said in her consciousness, "I have heard..."
"Senior Brother, speak quickly!" Shi Xuan urged him anxiously when he saw him speaking haltingly.
Lu Shenzhi paused for a moment, then replied, "I'm just guessing. I've heard of a kind of half-demon, a hybrid of demon and human... When they're young, they might exist in either human or demon form, but after reaching adulthood, they might awaken the bloodline of the other..."
Shi Xuan was astonished.
She had never seen a half-demon before, because the demon race and the human race had not interacted for hundreds of years, so where would a mixed blood come from?
But Lu Wenxing's appearance... seems to make one unable to help but follow Lu Shenzhi's line of thought.
His unusual behavior kept appearing and disappearing until it gradually subsided after another hour.
At this point, Lu Wenxing was somewhat delirious, his body looking as if he had been pulled out of the water.
Only then did Shi Xuan finally reach out and examine his meridians.
After all this trouble, the effects of the Rejuvenating Pill have been fully realized, and Lu Wenxing now possesses a new meridian, although it is only in its initial stages.
His ice and fire spiritual powers are not yet completely separated, but they are intertwined and mixed together. However, it seems that the peak of the struggle has passed, and the battle has come to an end as Lu Wenxing is exhausted.
To Shi Xuan's surprise, his existing meridians not only became stronger during the process of taking the Rejuvenation Pill, but also expanded by two large circles!
Shi Xuan was certain that the Rejuvenating Pill she had refined did not have this ability, so the original expansion and strengthening of the spiritual veins should be due to the awakening of his own bloodline.
After looking around, Shi Xuan felt that Lu Wenxing had not suffered any negative harm at all, and had only benefited from it.
As for why I feel so drowsy now, it must be because I struggled for too long and became exhausted.
Once Shi Xuan understood this, he finally felt relieved.
She turned to face He Weiqing and said, "Don't spread the news about Second Senior Brother today."
He Weiqing looked at Shi Xuan with a firm gaze and solemnly said, word by word, "Absolutely not!"
Even if he didn't say anything, He Weiqing wouldn't reveal such a private matter about his second senior brother, but this matter was simply too unbelievable, so Shi Xuan had to emphasize it again.
Judging from Lu Wenxing's situation, he must have awakened the bloodline of the demon race. As for which type of demon bloodline it is and what role it plays, we'll have to wait and see after he wakes up.
Lu Wenxing slept soundly until dawn. When he woke up, he felt refreshed all over, as if he hadn't felt this relaxed in a long time.
But when he opened his eyes and looked closely, he was so frightened that he sat bolt upright.
In front of him, Shi Xuan and He Weiqing stared at him, seemingly having been watching him the whole time, creating a very strange scene.
After a moment of stunned silence, Lu Wenxing finally remembered what had happened.
He grinned, scratched his messy hair, and realized that Shi Xuan and He Weiqing might have been worried about his situation.
When Shi Xuan saw that he had woken up, she immediately cast a cleansing spell on him.
This guy looks so slovenly now, he's unrecognizable.
"How are you feeling?" Shi Xuan asked.
Lu Wenxing stretched his arms, his face full of confidence: "Great! I've never felt this good! I'm full of energy, I feel like I can take on Yan Lingyi one-on-one right now!"
Shi Xuan rolled his eyes at him and said, "That's good. I'll wait for you to challenge us and let our Lianfeng Sword Sect take the top spot on the Prodigy Ranking. Elder Jiang will then treat you like royalty!"
"The challenge is no problem, whether I win or lose is not my concern..." Lu Wenxing grinned and said, "Thanks for the pills, Junior Sister!"
"Stop grinning. Take a closer look and see if there's anything else that's not right."
Lu Wenxing obediently examined himself from head to toe, then exclaimed in surprise, "I... I think I've advanced!"
Yesterday he was only at the seventh level of the Golden Core stage, how come he's now at the Great Perfection of the Golden Core stage?! He advanced three levels in a row, did his junior sister give him some kind of divine pill?
Shi Xuan had already noticed this, and she guessed it was due to her second senior brother's bloodline awakening. This was something others could only envy. Compared to humans, demons were many times stronger physically, but their weakness was poor comprehension and slow thinking. Her second senior brother had already mastered this essence even without awakening his bloodline.
The cultivation of the demon race is all about hard training; it's truly a gift from heaven.
It's perfectly normal for the second senior brother to have awakened his bloodline power and thus improve his cultivation.
"Is there anything else?" Shi Xuan asked.
“And…” Following Shi Xuan’s words, Lu Wenxing examined himself again, then reached out and touched himself. Suddenly, he jumped up and almost hit his head.
"Ah! Ahh!" Lu Wenxing cried out, "How come I have a tail?!"
"Keep your voice down." Shi Xuan pulled him back onto the couch.
Lu Wenxing looked incredulous, reached into his robe and pulled out a fluffy tail. He trembled in fear, then, unwilling to believe it was his own, he tugged at it hard.
This sudden tug made him wince in pain, so it really was his tail!
He looked at Shi Xuan with a questioning gaze, as if asking if this was a side effect of the Rejuvenation Pill? This side effect is too terrible!
Shi Xuan waited until he calmed down before saying to him, "I suspect that you have awakened the bloodline of the demon race. Second Senior Brother, you may be a half-demon."
"What? What half-demon?" Lu Wenxing couldn't hide his astonishment. According to his junior sister, was he not human?
"A half-demon is a hybrid of human and demon. Looking at the shape of your tail, it looks like a dog... cough cough, or maybe a wolf. So this explains why you suddenly have an ice spiritual root. It's probably because one of your parents was human and had a fire spiritual root, while the other was demon and had an ice spiritual root. Before you awakened your demon bloodline, only the fire spiritual root was showing."
