At that moment, in a chamber of the Nanxuan family clan, a white-robed elder whose age was indiscernible was focused on refining a weapon.
The elder was none other than the Nanxuan family clan's patriarch — Nanxuan Jue. Although the Nanxuan family clan was powerful, it was not a family clan with a deep heritage. It was established by Nanxuan Jue alone.
Nanxuan Jue was a famous artifact refiner in the Scarlet Yang continent. Divine armaments forged by him were of excellent quality. Many warriors were willing to pay a hefty sum for one but none of them were able to obtain it.
At that moment, the masked elder walked out of the chamber. After a moment of hesitation, he passed through the restrictions. If it were any other time, he would absolutely not disturb Nanxuan Jue while he was refining an artifact. But today's situation was special …
Nanxuan Jue frowned slightly when someone suddenly barged into the array. He turned his head and saw that it was the Nanxuan family clan's head steward, Lian Yong.
Lian Yong's entire family had been saved by Nanxuan Jue many years ago. He was willing to help Nanxuan Jue establish the Nanxuan family clan. Nanxuan Jue trusted Lian Yong very much. Although he was a steward, he was as close as a brother. He knew that Lian Yong would not disturb him unless there was something urgent.
"Brother Lian, why are you looking for me?" asked Nanxuan Jue.
Lian Yong sent a voice transmission and quickly recounted the situation. Nanxuan Jue's heart palpitated when he heard that. "What did you say? Luoyue has fused with a drop of blood given by an unknown person and is currently in seclusion to refine it? "
"Yes, I have already tried to persuade her but to no avail. For some reason, Miss trusts that person very much."
Nanxuan Jue frowned. He no longer cared about the quality of the artifact being refined. He immediately stopped the refinement array and walked out of the chamber.
Nanxuan Jue had worked his way up from nothing to establish a large family clan. Over the years, he had offended countless people. It was very likely that someone would attack Nanxuan Luoyue for revenge. Usually, Lian Yong protected Nanxuan Luoyue, so there was no need to worry. However, he could not stop Nanxuan Luoyue from being willful.
To the Nanxuan family clan, Nanxuan Luoyue was the apple of their eye. Nanxuan Jue originally had a successful son but the son unfortunately perished. He only left behind a daughter, Nanxuan Luoyue. As for Nanxuan Luoyue's mother, Nanxuan Jue had never even seen her before.
To Nanxuan Jue's pleasant surprise, Nanxuan Luoyue's talent far exceeded her father's. Therefore, the mission of inheriting the Nanxuan family clan fell on Nanxuan Luoyue. Of course, she could not afford any mishaps.
Nanxuan Jue strode to Nanxuan Luoyue's residence and saw that his wife was already there. Nanxuan Luoyue's maidservants were waiting anxiously outside. They did not disturb Nanxuan Luoyue.
"How long?" Nanxuan Jue asked. Without waiting for the female attendant to answer, his perception had already penetrated the door and into the room.
He saw Nanxuan Luoyue lying on the bed. Her skin suffused a faint red color as steam rose from her pores. It felt as though Nanxuan Luoyue's flames of vitality had been ignited.
The steam rose and tumbled in the air, vaguely forming the shadow of a roaming dragon.
Nanxuan Jue was alarmed. This is …
He wore an uncertain expression. Although he was an artifact refinement master, he was not well-versed in pills or the human body. He felt as though a ferocious beast was awakening in Nanxuan Luoyue's body.
But this feeling was fleeting. Moments later, Nanxuan Luoyue's condition stabilized. The roaming dragon's shadow dissipated as well.
Nanxuan Luoyue opened her eyes and exhaled a turbid breath. It was as though her life had undergone a metamorphosis but on careful inspection, there was no way to confirm it.
"Yue'er!"
Nanxuan Jue pushed open the door and Nanxuan Luoyue turned her head. Her forehead was covered in sweat but there was a faint smile on her face. She looked spirited and the lifeblood powers in her burned like a cauldron.
"Yue'er, how do you feel?"
Nanxuan Jue asked with concern.
"Grandpa, I feel great. It's just like when I absorbed that supreme-grade Ancient Fey bone back then."
Back when Nanxuan Luoyue was young, Nanxuan Jue had bought an Ancient Fey spine bone the size of a washbasin at an auction. It had blood marrow in it. The Ancient Fey spine bone had been refined by a famous alchemist back then. Dozens of supreme-grade herbs were used to refine it for a hundred days, making it priceless.
After Nanxuan Luoyue absorbed the Ancient Fey spine bone, her cultivation level improved greatly. Of course, the Nanxuan family clan had paid a sizable price for the Ancient Fey bone. Nanxuan Jue had used a masterpiece he had kept for many years as a bargaining chip in exchange for the Ancient Fey bone.
"It's the same as absorbing that supreme-grade Ancient Fey bone? It actually has such an effect? "Nanxuan Jue was taken aback. How was that possible?
Nanxuan Jue had previously heard from Lian Yong that Nanxuan Luoyue had only obtained a drop of blood. It was not even the size of a soybean. How could such a tiny drop of blood match a supreme-grade Ancient Fey bone refined by a famous alchemist using dozens of natural treasures?
Besides, if such a Numinous treasure existed, how could it be given to Nanxuan Luoyue for free?
Nanxuan Jue originally believed that an enemy had come to harm the only descendant of his Nanxuan family clan. But in the end, it turned out that they had really given her a priceless natural treasure. How could something so bizarre happen?
Nanxuan Jue took a step forward and grabbed Nanxuan Luoyue's meridians. Although he did not know medicine, he had been practicing martial arts for years. He knew a thing or two about meridians.
When he probed, he sensed that Nanxuan Luoyue's aura was somewhat different from before. It was as though something in her body had been stirred. However, he was unable to determine what it was.
Furthermore, Nanxuan Luoyue's Dao Palace had undergone a strange change. The Dao Palace seemed to be enveloped in a rising blood mist.
It was as though the lifeblood powers in Nanxuan Luoyue's body were so powerful that even the Dao Palace had been infiltrated.
This made Nanxuan Jue recall some body-tempering warriors. Apparently, the strength of their lifeblood powers was no greater than this …
This left Nanxuan Jue puzzled about Nanxuan Luoyue's bloodline. Could the problem be with Nanxuan Luoyue's mother? What was her mother's background?
"Miss, do you feel any discomfort?" asked Lian Yong anxiously.
Nanxuan Luoyue shook her head. "No, I feel great. I feel that the effects are a hundred times better than any Heart Nourishing Pill."
"This … As long as you feel good …" Lian Yong was baffled. He was certain that even if the scholar he encountered did not have nefarious intentions, he was likely a hooligan. He had probably heard Nanxuan Luoyue mention that she had been eating Heart Nourishing Pills for more than ten years. Therefore, he had taken out a drop of blood that did not seem particularly precious and bragged about it. Who knew that it would have such an effect?
Lian Yong was glad that Nanxuan Luoyue had insisted on her judgment. If not, she would have missed out on such an opportunity.
"From the looks of it, Uncle Lian was foolish. He did not realize that the young man was such a capable person. He probably saw something in Miss. That drop of blood is not something that can be taken out casually. There must be something special about it that suits Miss's physique," Lian Yong speculated.
Nanxuan Luoyue nodded. That was exactly what she was thinking. If not, she would not have resonated with the drop of blood.
The drop of blood was like a catalyst that triggered a change in her body. However, it was still lacking to completely stabilize her Dao Palace. She did not know what changes would happen to her body if she had a few more drops of blood.
Of course, Nanxuan Luoyue was only fantasizing about it. It was unlikely that Lian Yong had many such drops of blood.
She did not know how much the drop of blood was worth but she believed that a ten-thousand-year-old Lunar Wood Spirit was insufficient. Thinking back to how she had planned on selling the ten-thousand-year-old Lunar Wood Spirit to Yi Yun at market price, she felt a little ashamed. He had given her such a precious drop of blood but she still wanted to charge him for it.
"I heard from that gentleman that he still needs the Seven Leaf Wheel and Luoshengzi?" asked Lian Yong suddenly.
Nanxuan Luoyue nodded. "Yes, the pharmacy doesn't have these two herbs. That gentleman gave me this opportunity. Grandfather, can you help him find them?"
"Of course." Nanxuan Jue nodded. His Nanxuan family clan had a wide network of connections. Most importantly, he was an artifact refinement master. Many people sought his help. It was not difficult for him to make up his mind to find an item. "If that person still has more drops of blood, we can buy a few more drops."
"I'm afraid he might not have any." Lian Yong shook his head. "Such drops of blood are natural wonders to begin with. They are very difficult to obtain. That person must have taken them out because he is desperate for the herb."
What Lian Yong said was reasonable. However, he never imagined that Yi Yun had obtained the drop of blood from the Nine Transformations Celestial Silkworm. Although the Nine Transformations Celestial Silkworm looked tiny, its lifeblood was as exuberant as a True Dragon's. Extracting a drop of blood was nothing.
As the group conversed, a flame suddenly lit up in front of Lian Yong. It was the light of a voice transmission talisman. Lian Yong's eyes lit up as he said, "It's the gentleman who gave us the blood. He has come to our manor to buy the herb!"
