Under the warm and genial winter sun.
Chung Shen-soo closed the manuscript of the Secrets of True Blood and narrowed his eyes.
'The Whisper of the Worm is inclined towards spells, and there are many spells recorded, as well as some blood wine and potion formulas. I only got seven remnant pages, not much …'
'The Secrets of True Blood is indeed a mysterious book mentioned many times by the Transmutation Blood. The records in it are very useful to me, even if it's only half a book …'
Through the Secrets of True Blood, Chung Shen-soo had a general idea of how the followers of the Lord of Black Blood improved themselves.
"The miracle of life lies in continuous evolution!"
"Blood is power, blood is glory, blood is everything!"
He murmured the words that repeatedly appeared in the Secrets of True Blood, and understood a little.
"Mystics don't only practice nameless techniques. In addition, there are potions, alchemy, rituals, and other crafts … In the Secrets of True Blood, there is also a kind of flesh technique recorded. The followers of the Lord of Black Blood worship the power of bloodline. They will try to capture magical creatures from the spiritual world and even the mortal world, and use various means to obtain their bloodline …"
These means include but are not limited to organ transplants, injection of mixed blood, and raw eating …
"After obtaining the bloodline, and continuing to cultivate, one can master the magical power and strengthen the body to the greatest extent … Of course, it is not surprising to mutate into a monster. Many followers even regard it as a kind of sublimation. They think that by constantly supplementing and perfecting their bloodline, they can become 'perfect', and even obtain a long life comparable to 'immortals' …"
"In fact, there is a certain theoretical basis for this. At least through this method of blood transplantation, as long as the bloodline of the mother is strong enough, and preferably a creature living in the depths of the spiritual world, it is very likely to use the bloodline as a primer to form a special key to reach special waymarks such as the Crimson River!"
The followers of the Lord of Black Blood had a great advantage when promoting to 'Ascenders', because the Crimson River was also considered the River of Blood, the River of Life!
And this Lord of Black Blood was in charge of the authority of creation!
It was believed that there was a certain connection between the two.
"However … this kind of flesh and blood technique is also extremely dangerous. It's not uncommon for one's flesh and blood to collapse if one isn't careful. More importantly, a weak mind is unable to control a strong body, resulting in madness and loss of control …"
"After all, the Art of Flesh and Blood is just power, and the mysterious man's improvement in realm is the foundation. Therefore, the secret book has solemnly reminded him many times that only a strong enough soul can control the body of a beast! Perhaps when the followers of the Lord of Blackblood evolve for the second or third time, they will need the souls of the 'upgraded ones' to maintain the existence of rationality … "
"Of course, a sufficiently powerful bloodline can assist in the advancement of the mysterious ritual … This is also a type of secret technique."
Chung Shen-soo was eager to try.
After passing through the Pure White Wilderness, he realized that the spirit world was just too big. And as he progressed in Sleepwalking, the descriptions became more and more sketchy, causing him to be unable to find the crimson river.
If he could obtain the bloodline of a mystical creature and use it as a key, he would be able to reach the Crimson River very quickly.
"Also … the fleshly body technique is indeed very powerful! Although it only focuses on combat power and not realm, it may be of some use to my future plans … "
In the future, he was going to plot against creatures comparable to Primal Core cultivators. He could not just rely on nameless techniques, could he?
As for turning into a monster?
Anyway, it was not his own body. It did not matter if he messed around with it.
Compared to the mutation of his mind, the mutation of his body was not a big deal.
…
Nighttime.
The Whisperer Bar.
As usual, Chung Shen-soo wore a white shirt and a black vest, performing the traditional skills of a bartender.
Amidst the delightful intertwining of various liquids and fruit juices, two cocktails were placed in front of Alice and Angel.
"Dragon Tongue Sunrise of the Twelve Constellations."
He looked at the two girls with a smile and suddenly asked, "Do you have something on your mind?"
Alice, who had a worried look on her face, was startled. Angel, who was beside her, immediately asked, "How did you know?"
"It's very easy to tell."
Chung Shen-soo smiled and said, "I wonder if I have the honor of becoming a listener to the two of you?"
He would occasionally come over to mix drinks as a way to spice up his life. He could be considered to be on friendly terms with these two girls.
If they encountered any problems, he did not mind lending a helping hand if it was possible.
"It's me …"
Alice took a sip of the cocktail. The tipsy feeling made her let down her guard a lot. "Recently … I encountered some things. Yes, because of my mistake, I brought a lot of trouble to another roommate. She almost died because of it …
"Fortunately, I found a Black Magic ritual in the library that was said to have been passed down from ancient times … I know you will not believe it, but I succeeded and used it to solve the problem."
At this point, Angel, who was beside her, shrunk her neck with some lingering fear.
"Looks like … you came into contact with the mysterious world by chance?"
Chung Shen-soo came to a conclusion in his heart. "But this little girl is really bold. She rashly used the Black Magic ritual … Isn't she afraid of provoking something terrible? No, they can't use their own spirituality to attract the resonance of the spirit world. Such people can't cast the incantation of the nameless spell at all. Although the ritual is simpler than the nameless spell, it requires at least a Beyonder to be able to use it. Not everyone is like me, unless … there are Beyonders silently observing and helping in the dark? "
In addition, finding a ritual to redeem oneself after causing trouble was full of the smell of a conspiracy.
"If I use the ritual to turn my friend into a zombie or something like that, it would probably be the plot of a third-rate movie …"
He rolled his eyes and said with a smile, "Isn't it a good thing that everything has been resolved?"
"But a few days later, a gentleman came to me. He said that he was a professor at Phillips University in Israel. He appreciated my talent and wanted to recommend me to continue my studies at Phillips University …"
Alice said hesitantly, "I was hesitating …"
Israel was a famous university town in the Federation. It was said that the name had something to do with the founding fathers of the Federation. It was the cultural and educational center of the entire Federation.
Even Li Wei had heard of the name Phillips University. It seemed to be a very famous university in the Federation.
It was much better than the pheasant school that Alice and Angel were currently studying in.
And from what the other party said, it seemed that she was going to study in the professor's graduate program, which was especially valuable.
Even if it was just a diploma, it would be easy for her to enter the upper class.
And … the mysterious world was also very tempting for a girl like Alice.
