Chapter 549: Who Do You Plan to Use It On?
Lin Fengmian muttered to himself, “Not a member of the Jun family, yet still has a blood relation with Jun Wuxie?”
“There are only two possibilities now. Either the body he possessed is also from the Jun family, or he possessed someone from the Nangong family!”
“If he doesn’t care much about bloodline pride, and considering that he’s trying to avoid Jun Yunshang, it’s most likely the latter.”
Luo Xue asked curiously, “The Nangong family?”
Lin Fengmian nodded. “Yes, the maternal side of Jun Wuxie’s family.”
“If the body he’s currently possessing is from the Nangong family, then he does indeed share a blood relation with Jun Wuxie.”
He really didn’t expect that Jun Wuxie actually had a blood relationship with Jun Chengye, even if it was through the maternal line.
This was completely absurd!
Thinking about this, he couldn’t help but feel a pang of sorrow for Nangong Xiu and her family.
They were being ruthlessly exploited by Jun Chengye!
Don’t worry, I’ll make sure to strip him naked as well!
But now, he was faced with only two options: either use the blood sacrifice on Jun Chengye to reach the Unity Realm, or abandon the idea entirely.
While there might be some rejection, if he could find Yue Shuying, he might be able to mitigate it. However, at that point, his cultivation would likely stagnate.
Lin Fengmian sighed helplessly. “I knew there was no such thing as a free lunch in this world. You gain something, but you also have to give something up.”
However, Luo Xue smiled and said, “Given your talent and circumstances, reaching the Unity Realm would be a huge leap forward.”
“With your martial arts skills, you could compete with a Void Realm cultivator. In the world of Tianyuan, that would make you a formidable figure.”
“If you have any opportunities in the future, you might even break through to the Void Realm. This is a rare opportunity!”
Lin Fengmian fell silent for a moment, genuinely tempted by her words.
As Luo Xue had said, with his combat experience and insight, he could challenge Void Realm cultivators.
As long as he didn’t do anything reckless, he could roam the world freely.
But his hesitation lasted only a moment before he shook his head firmly.
“No, the Unity Realm is too weak.”
Luo Xue seemed to have anticipated his response, but still asked knowingly, “Why?”
Lin Fengmian seriously replied, “I have to save you. The Unity Realm isn’t enough for that.”
Luo Xue couldn’t help but laugh, even though she sounded exasperated. “You’re really aiming high, aren’t you? Wouldn’t it be nice just to be a powerful figure in your own right?”
Lin Fengmian smiled. “Once you’ve seen the view from the top, who can settle for mediocrity?”
“Besides, if I want to stand by your side, I can’t afford to take shortcuts like this.”
Luo Xue nodded. “You’re starting to sound like a real powerhouse. But have you thought this through?”
“If you continue on this path, your enemies will be sages, sovereigns, and even the unfathomable Heavenly Abyss. Are you ready for that?”
Lin Fengmian’s expression was resolute, as if he was making a vow to the heavens.
“I’ve thought it through. A world without you is not a world I want.”
“Without you, even if I were to become a sovereign, I wouldn’t want it!”
Luo Xue blushed slightly and chided him, “What nonsense are you spouting…?”
Lin Fengmian chuckled, knowing when to stop. After all, too much of a good thing could backfire.
He turned his gaze to Jun Chengye, his eyes gleaming with cold light and killing intent. “Since he’s useless to me, do you have a way to kill him?”
Luo Xue thought for a moment and sighed. “With your current strength, it would be too difficult to kill him.”
Lin Fengmian suggested, “What if I ask Shangguan Yuqiong to send an experienced demoness to drain him?”
Luo Xue laughed in disbelief. “Didn’t you use a castration technique on him? Can he even be drained now?”
Lin Fengmian hadn’t expected that his earlier actions would end up helping Jun Chengye in this way. He felt a pang of frustration.
“So we’re just stuck with this old ghost with no way to deal with it?”
The thought of entering a treasure room only to leave empty-handed was unbearable to Lin Fengmian, who was known to leave no stone unturned.
Luo Xue thought for a moment before smiling. “I have an idea!”
“Although we can’t use his blood sacrifice array, we can still use a regular blood sacrifice array!”
“I can modify his array to use him as a sacrificial offering, extracting the essence of his flesh and blood.”
“The conversion rate will be low, but there won’t be any side effects. How much you can absorb will depend on your own abilities!”
Lin Fengmian immediately understood Luo Xue’s plan. She was going to turn Jun Chengye into a blood slave.
The energy extracted would be pure flesh and blood essence with minimal spiritual energy, similar to the refined blood used for body tempering.
While it would be more effective for body refinement than cultivation, it was still better than nothing!
“Luo Xue, let’s do it!”
Luo Xue thought for a moment and said, “Don’t rush. I need to figure out how to maximize the transformation.”
Lin Fengmian didn’t dare to disturb her and let her focus on studying the sacrificial array.
Luo Xue tried to discuss it with him, but Lin Fengmian was completely lost and could only stare blankly.
Eventually, Luo Xue realized that she was talking to a brick wall and gave up.
“You go do your thing. I’ll take care of the calculations.”
Lin Fengmian nodded, feeling a bit bored when a crystal in the cave suddenly lit up.
Knowing that someone had triggered the array in the study, he didn’t dare to hesitate and quickly stepped into the teleportation array.
Since Luo Xue had already memorized the array, she didn’t say anything and let him return to the study.
Lin Fengmian closed the mechanism and opened the study door to find Nangong Xiu standing outside in the bright sunlight.
Although her expression was cold this time, she didn’t barge in directly, having learned from her last mistake.
Lin Fengmian smiled at Nangong Xiu. “Auntie? When did you get here?”
Nangong Xiu snorted. “I’ve been here for a while!”
“Why didn’t you say something before?” Lin Fengmian asked awkwardly.
“Wouldn’t that have bothered you?”
Nangong Xiu walked into the study, and Lin Fengmian quickly followed.
“Auntie, what are you doing?”
Nangong Xiu looked at Lin Fengmian suspiciously. “Why are you so nervous? Are you hiding a beauty in here?”
Lin Fengmian forced a laugh. “Even if I was, wouldn’t that be none of your business?”
Nangong Xiu thought about it and realized that he was right. She looked around the study, but found nothing out of the ordinary.
Finally, she walked over to the bookshelf and calmly said, “Open it. I want to offer my sister some incense.”
Lin Fengmian had no choice but to obediently open the mechanism. Nangong Xiu lit the incense and looked at the portrait with a hint of sadness.
Lin Fengmian stood nearby feeling anxious, worried that once the incense burned out, the floor mechanism would activate.
Meanwhile, Luo Xue teased, “Oh, another beauty. You really have a way with women, don’t you?”
Lin Fengmian broke out in a cold sweat. “Luo Xue, don’t misunderstand. This is Jun Wuxie’s aunt!”
Luo Xue said indifferently, “She is not your aunt. What are you afraid of?”
Lin Fengmian was at a loss for words and could only smile wryly. “Luo Xue, please don’t joke around.”
At that moment, Nangong Xiu finished offering the incense and turned to Lin Fengmian with a dangerous smile.
“I heard that you kidnapped Chen Chaoyan yesterday and then bullied Ye Yingying. Quite the charmer, aren’t you?”
Lin Fengmian secretly groaned and broke out in a cold sweat, because Luo Xue was still on his side!
“Auntie, I just brought Senior Sister Chen back for some tea. I didn’t do anything to them.”
Nangong Xiu snorted. “If you had done anything, I would have broken all three of your legs!”
Before Lin Fengmian could relax, Nangong Xiu clenched her fist and smiled sweetly at him.
“I also heard that you asked Ye Yingying for some high-grade pills to deal with powerful cultivators, the stronger the better?”
“Care to tell me, who do you plan to use them on?”
