Chapter 265: Bloodline Purification Card, Anticipating Ancient Phoenix Bloodline!
“It’s hard to elaborate on the specifics, but what happened with the Duan family was within their rules and considered fair and square, so they couldn’t say much about it.
“Besides, while the Duan family’s temperament can be difficult, their character is reliable.
“Think of it as a situation where fighting first leads to mutual respect.
“Later on, Xi Yingqing helped them with a major issue, so they owe us a favor as well,” the Grand Elder explained.
“If that’s the case, what is there to be cautious about?” Meng Changqing asked, puzzled.
“It’s not a big deal. It’s just that after being robbed of two famous weapons, the Duan family has a poor impression of us. If you go to seek their help, expect cold stares or scorn.
“So after using their favor, leave quickly.
“Otherwise, without the restriction of a favor, you’ll likely get surrounded and beaten.”
“…” Meng Changqing rubbed his forehead, imagining how he would feel if someone stole two prized weapons from him.
They were certainly not fond towards Tai Xuan Sect.
The Grand Elder then gave a brief introduction to the roles of the four factions and informed Meng Changqing of the whereabouts of Mo Xiaoyu and the others, ensuring he had a general understanding.
“Lastly, since you’ve chosen to stay in Central Province, make the most of your time here!
“As a young man, you should indeed thrive on this grand stage, defeating strong opponents and climbing to the pinnacle of martial arts.
“And remember, don’t worry. The sect stands firmly behind you.”
The Grand Elder stood up slowly and smiled. “Even Xi Yingqing, that rascal, if he goes all out, can poke a hole in the sky above.”
There was a deeper meaning in his words.
“Understood,” Meng Changqing said with a faint smile, fully understanding the implications.
“Also, if you’re truly curious about the answers to your questions, go to Listening Rain Tower. Everything you want to know is there.
“But be warned,” the Grand Elder’s expression turned serious. “Knowing the truth will lead you to a choice.
“Whatever you decide, we will support you.”
It was a familiar refrain. He remembered Senior Sister Hua saying the same thing. After learning the truth, a choice must be made.
With those words, the Grand Elder left.
“A choice, huh…” Meng Changqing’s gaze flickered.
He could already guess what kind of choice it would be.
Strictly speaking, however, he didn’t have much of a choice.
Some things are fated from the start and cannot be avoided.
“Take it one step at a time. In any case, focusing on cultivation is never wrong.”
Meng Changqing pushed the thoughts aside.
He wouldn’t waste his energy on internal conflict. In his view, as long as his strength was sufficient, he could weather any storm — even subdue it with a wave of his hand!
Meng Changqing stood up and headed to an isolated training ground. He planned to finally open the spirit beast pouch.
A Level 6 exotic beast was worth nurturing.
If the Bloodline Purification Card could significantly enhance it, its value would increase even more.
Although Meng Changqing now possessed a bloodline, it was his own — a progenitor’s bloodline.
In the future, it would mark him as the founder of a family lineage. How could it be purified?
Thus, it could only be tested on the Qingyu Phoenix.
Arriving at a secluded training field, Meng Changqing retrieved the spirit beast pouch given by Dongmen Xiangzhong.
Following the usual procedure, he dripped a drop of heart’s blood onto it. Mysterious patterns on the pouch lit up instantly, absorbing the blood and transmitting it deeper inside.
In that instant, a connection was established. ᴛhis chapter is ᴜpdated by 𝕟𝕠𝕧𝕖𝕝~𝕗𝕚𝕣𝕖~𝕟𝕖𝕥
“Master,” a gentle voice resonated.
With a thought, Meng Changqing opened the spirit beast pouch.
A massive creature appeared in the training field—towering a hundred meters tall!
Its outstretched wings exuded grandeur, with feathers of varying shades of green forming intricate patterns that looked divine.
It had three tails that swayed lightly, seemingly imbued with immense power.
Its eyes gleamed with dazzling, kaleidoscopic light, evoking dizziness and awe if one stared too long.
The Qingyu Phoenix — an exotic beast with a trace of ancient phoenix bloodline!
It had the potential to reach Level 7 or even Level 8!
“Not bad, not bad,” Meng Changqing said, nodding in satisfaction.
Its appearance alone was impressive, and a quick probe confirmed its formidable strength.
“From now on, I’ll call you Xiao Qing.” Meng Changqing opted for simplicity when naming it.
“Yes,” the Qingyu Phoenix responded, though its eyes flickered with subtle exasperation.
Xiao Qing? It thought. What a careless name for someone as grand as me!
But given the master-servant bond, it dared not complain, sensing its master’s emotions.
“Don’t like it?” Meng Changqing asked, raising an eyebrow.
“Not at all! Xiao Qing loves it!” The Qingyu Phoenix shook its head vigorously.
As a subordinate, defying its master — especially one as powerful as Meng Changqing — was out of the question.
“Good,” Meng Changqing said, satisfied with its obedience.
He gently stroked the Qingyu Phoenix’s head.
“Relax your mind and stay still. I’ll grant you a great opportunity,” Meng Changqing instructed.
“Opportunity?” The Qingyu Phoenix was puzzled.
But the next moment, it froze in shock, and then delight.
“System, use a Bloodline Purification Card!” Meng Changqing commanded.
【Consumed Bloodline Purification Card x1.】
【Qingyu Phoenix’s bloodline purity increased from 1% to 30%!】
Hearing this, Meng Changqing’s eyebrows rose.
“Not bad! An increase of 29%! If this can be maintained, three more cards should suffice.”
However, Bloodline Purification Cards were even rarer than Attribute Acquisition Cards.
At the same time, the Qingyu Phoenix’s aura grew more ancient and exuded a sacred, regal presence.
The Qingyu Phoenix was stunned.
It didn’t understand why its ancient phoenix bloodline had suddenly surged, but it was undoubtedly an immense blessing!
The enhancement in bloodline meant its strength and potential had skyrocketed, paving the way for a brighter future.
And all of this was thanks to its master, whom it had just met!
It finally understood the “opportunity” its master spoke of. This was nothing short of a miracle!
In an instant, the Qingyu Phoenix’s gaze toward Meng Changqing transformed.
It looked at him as if gazing at a divine creator — full of reverence and fervor.
“Keep this a secret. Opportunities are rare and not for everyone,” Meng Changqing said, patting its head lightly.
“Xiao Qing understands and will never speak of it!” The Qingyu Phoenix nodded quickly.
Indeed, such miraculous methods couldn’t be widely shared. It must ensure it remained the sole beneficiary.
“Stay loyal, and one day, you might truly transform into a phoenix,” Meng Changqing said with a smile.
To this, the Qingyu Phoenix didn’t think it was mere flattery.
“Thank you, Master!” It bowed deeply, expressing heartfelt gratitude.
Meng Changqing, too, grew more expectant.
If he could one day acquire a complete ancient phoenix bloodline, how much stronger would his own bloodline become?
Though it seemed like he was nurturing a pet, he knew he was also cultivating a powerful companion.
