Chapter 156: Bloodline Hidden Danger, Spirit Scroll Synthesis
"What are you good for?"
Li Ye looked at the Golden Core Spirit Beast, speaking casually, "You need to give me a reason to keep raising you.
If you are of no use, I might as well turn you into the sect for some benefits.
A Golden Core Spirit Beast isn't anything extraordinary in our sect."
— The most powerful ability of the Blood Spirit Whale is actually "bloodline copying" and its capability to continuously produce "flesh" with the corresponding bloodline.
This ability is like discovering a Heavenly Gift for the cultivators of the Blood Spirit Sect, allowing them to replicate their precious blood to aid their cultivation.
As for its ability to devour Golden Sand's bloodline and produce Golden Sand... it seems Jiang Tingchao and the Golden Sand Crow can also produce Golden Sand.
Originally, Li Ye wanted to see what the Golden Sand Spirit Field looked like before seeking treasures, but it seems unnecessary now.
So for a moment, he couldn't think of why he would want such a thing, he couldn't just cut it up to eat as flesh.
The Blood Spirit Whale sensed that Li Ye wasn't joking.
Its deep, resonant voice came, "In the past, I was the source of flesh for all Spiritual Objects in the sea.
When one whale falls, everything thrives.
I can split off many pieces of flesh to help you feed your Spirit Beasts or Spirit Plants — and I can consume dead Spirit Beasts, helping you refine their spirit blood."
As if to prove itself, the Blood Spirit Whale, roughly the size of a human, suddenly began to writhe, dropping pieces of neatly organized flesh into the river.
It stopped only after half a two-hour period had passed.
By this time, the river was already filled with chunks of bloody flesh.
"..."
So this is what you mean by one whale falls, everything thrives, huh.
But looking at it this way, it does seem like a pretty good source of feed. The problem is that by splitting its own flesh like this...
"What do you eat?"
"Does splitting off pieces of flesh like this not affect you?"
"I noticed there are Delicious Coconut Trees on Golden Sand Island, are you related to the Delicious Coconut Trees?"
Li Ye asked three questions in a row.
— Upon hearing this, the Blood Spirit Whale knew Li Ye was interested; if he weren't, it would've been sent away by now.
It felt a little more at ease and explained in its deep, resonant voice:
"I can sustain my vitality by eating algae rich in Spiritual Qi. If there's enough algae and Spiritual Qi, I can split off flesh anytime, anywhere."
"As for Golden Sand Island... I really don't know.
My cultivation was still in the Foundation Establishment Stage of your Human Race when I was captured on Ruoquan Island by a powerful cultivator, and later that beaver carved my flesh and drained my blood..."
When mentioning the beaver, it emitted an uncontrollable fear.
That perverted beaver not only carved and drained its flesh and blood every day but also stuffed its flesh into its own body, attempting to breed... the Human Race.
Even as a "Demon Beast" inclined toward the Demon Path, it found it somewhat terrifying.
The entire island was transformed by the beaver's obsession, and every moment spent there was extremely horrifying.
However, it didn't dare to speak of these things, not only because the beaver had warned it but also because that ruler, belonging to a True Man of the Nascent Soul, had warned it.
"I see."
"By the way, try if you can eat this thing."
Li Ye took out some of the Potato Flood Dragon's meat and Profound Crystal Potato Flood Dragon Pearls and tossed them into the river. The whale immediately opened its large mouth and swallowed everything, including the river water, in one gulp.
"Hmm."
After consuming the Potato Flood Dragon meat and pearls, it made a perplexed sound before suddenly spitting out a strand of blood from the blowhole on its head.
"These things are quite peculiar, there's actually dragon blood inside."
"Although it's a minuscule amount, there's indeed dragon blood."
The dragon blood, which was probably less than one tael, was sent to Li Ye through the Water Control Technique.
Li Ye took the dragon blood directly and examined it carefully.
He found that this dragon blood seemed to contain more Wood Attribute Spiritual Qi out of the Five Elements than the blood of a single Profound Water Flood Dragon.
This Spiritual Qi's vitality even surpassed the dragon blood's vitality, simultaneously strengthening itself by absorbing the surrounding Spiritual Qi and aiding the slow growth of the dragon blood.
If it weren't for the Blood Spirit Whale's extreme control over blood, even with Li Ye's current capability, he wouldn't have been able to separate these "blood elements."
In his view, it was more accurate to say this was the formative and growth core power of the Potato Flood Dragon meat and the Profound Crystal Potato Flood Dragon Pearls — without this Spiritual Qi, they likely couldn't grow so rapidly.
"Wait a moment."
"Whale, do you mean this blood energy will decrease over time as they continue to reproduce?"
He suddenly thought of a serious issue.
If this Spiritual Qi is the product of the dragon blood and Kansheng Potato coming together, would the Potato Flood Dragons he relocated outside cause a generational decline due to the decrease in blood energy, eventually making them unable to grow?
If that's really the case, expanding outward would be very difficult, or even doomed to fail.
"I haven't seen more second or third-generation of such Spirit Plants, so I can't judge, but..."
The Blood Spirit Whale blew a bubble, its tone a bit confused, "There's a very special vitality power inside, although it's too weak to be detected, it's indispensable.
If that vitality power is lost, I'm afraid they really won't be able to grow until they completely die."
Vitality power?
Li Ye instantly thought of his Vital Essence, could this vitality power be a variant of the Vital Essence?
He squinted his eyes and gestured Zhao He and Jiang Tingchao to leave, then continued to ask, "Can you extract this vitality power, or is there any magic that can fully extract it?"
