Bo Xu stepped forward and picked up Ling 'er, throwing her high into the air and cheering.
The Chiyou people around the square also began to cheer …
The sense of racial crisis in this world was very strong. They had to maintain their race's strong bloodline talent.
Ling 'er's performance meant that they had a successor. In the past thousand years, there had only been two sixth-grade bloodline warriors, and Ling' er was the only seventh-grade bloodline warrior. Naturally, it was worth celebrating and cheering!
Ling 'er, on the other hand, was still in a daze. She had no idea what was going on.
Next, it was her brother Wu 'er's turn.
The First Elder did the same. He pierced Wu 'er's finger again and drew a few drops of blood, sprinkling it on the jade stone.
"Drip …"
"Buzz …"
After the blood was absorbed by the jade stone, it vibrated again and began to turn red.
But the speed of the change was very slow.
Bo Xu and the Chiyou people stared at the jade stone nervously.
"Wu 'er's bloodline is not good …"
"Well, after so long, he's only second-grade. I'm afraid he can't even reach third-grade."
"Sigh, the dragon has nine sons, but each son is different. Even if they are twins, the difference in bloodline purity is huge."
After a while, the First Elder announced, "Wu 'er's bloodline is third-grade lower."
This time, Bo Xu silently stepped forward and picked up Wu 'er. He patted his son's back gently. Bloodline purity was completely determined by luck. No one could change it. His family had Ling' er, which was already a blessing from the heavens.
After Ling 'er and Wu' er's bloodline purity was tested, more and more people carried their own children up.
Most of these children's bloodline purity was between third-grade and fifth-grade.
Third-grade was qualified, and fifth-grade was excellent.
Those who passed were a little depressed, but those who got excellent were in high spirits.
Every Blood Purification Ceremony was like this. Some families were happy, and some were sad. The First Elder had seen it many times, so he was very indifferent.
After the children were tested, the First Elder said to Luo Zheng, "Now it's your turn!"
She was really interested in whether Luo Zheng had the Chiyou bloodline or not.
Luo Zheng walked to the front of that oval-shaped jade stone and glanced at it. After absorbing blood for a while, this jade stone would turn milky white again. When it was dripped with blood, it would turn red. The deeper the red, the purer the bloodline would be …
The problem was that Luo Zheng's blood was golden. Would the jade stone be able to detect it?
"Give me your hand," the Great Elder said with a smile.
"Can I do it myself?" Luo Zheng said.
The Great Elder shook her head and grabbed Luo Zheng's arm. She condensed a milky white needle in her palm and stabbed it toward Luo Zheng.
However, the result was beyond the Grand Elder's expectations.
She heard a "ding" sound. The light needle was unable to pierce through Luo Zheng's arm!
"Eh?"
The Great Elder looked at Luo Zheng in surprise. She didn't expect Luo Zheng's arm to be so sturdy. She couldn't even pierce his finger!
Luo Zheng smiled helplessly and said, "I told you to let me do it myself …"
She blinked and condensed another milky white needle. This time, the power of this needle was several times stronger than before.
"Ding!"
She still couldn't pierce Luo Zheng's finger!
An incredulous expression appeared on her pretty face. She glared at Luo Zheng for two or three breaths. Then, she condensed a milky white light again. Under the dense light, a thin white light needle spiraled and emitted an astonishing power.
The light needle shot toward Luo Zheng's fingertip with a "whoosh" sound. This time, it finally pierced through Luo Zheng's finger.
"Drip, drip, drip …"
"Golden blood?" The Great Elder was slightly surprised.
Diao Yuan, Qi Chang, and the other clansmen saw the golden blood and felt strange. They had never seen blood of this color before.
The Great Elder didn't think too much and splashed the drops of golden blood on the jade stone.
After this piece of jade absorbed the golden blood, it rumbled with a "weng" sound.
Then, the color of the jade stone slowly changed …
"It's turning red!"
"This kid, does he really have the blood of our Chiyou Clan?"
"But the speed of change is so slow. It looks like he won't be able to reach the second rank!"
The clansmen looked at the jade stone and began to discuss it.
Qi Chang saw the color of the jade change and suddenly felt happy. "Haha, Diao Yuan, you're really good. The kid you brought back really does have our blood. It's a pity he's only at the second rank. He's a bit of trash …"
As long as they could prove that Luo Zheng had the Chiyou Bloodline, he wouldn't need a blood transplant. This was a good result for Qi Chang.
Diao Yuan frowned and stared at the jade stone. He had a feeling that things weren't so simple.
After ten breaths, the jade stone's surface was still suffused with a faint pink light.
"Wastelanders from the outside aren't good enough. Is he one of our people's offspring?"
"The second rank is too ordinary …"
"He should be content. At the very least, being able to stay in the bone pagoda is his lifetime's worth of good fortune, hehe!"
The First Elder's eyes flashed with disappointment. This result didn't satisfy her, but she still smiled and said, "Congratulations. You do have our blood, but it's a pity it's of a lower rank."
Luo Zheng wasn't too disappointed.
His mother had told him that he had the purest Li Clan blood, and was the most legitimate descendant of the Chiyou Clan. But in the end, his blood had been changed. This result was acceptable.
What was important was that he had proven himself to the Chiyou Clan. As long as he stayed in the Chiyou Clan, he'd accomplished his goal.
Just as Luo Zheng nodded, the jade stone beside him suddenly made a "kacha" sound.
Everyone's eyes turned to the jade stone.
A blood-red crack appeared on the surface of the jade!
"Crack!"
"Crack!"
"Crack!"
Every time there was a cracking sound, there would be one more blood-colored crack.
Not long after, the surface of the originally flawless white jade was covered with blood-red cracks.
Hum!
With a tremor, the jade stone's color began to change.
From a faint pink to a bright red, the entire jade stone was a dark red, as if it would bleed from the surface!
Crack crack crack crack …
Soon, the jade stone shattered into countless pieces before everyone's eyes.
The plaza, which had been abuzz with discussion, suddenly fell silent. Everyone was stunned by this sudden scene.
