Lu Ye had an idea that he needed to try out, and it required some Blood Warriors to assist him. At present, he only had four Blood Warriors under his command, and Ma Shangsi was the only one in the Sunshine realm, so he naturally wanted to take advantage of this opportunity to recruit a few more.
Atop the Spirit Peak, Lu Ye waited calmly.
A day later, some guests came to visit.
Surprisingly, they were Ma Shangsi's good friends in the Blood Jade World. There weren't many of them, only six in total, and all of them had rushed here to see him after receiving a message from Ma Shangsi.
Lu Ye had indeed given Ma Shangsi nine spots, but firstly, he didn't have many good friends in the Blood Jade World, and secondly, if he wanted to become Lu Ye's Blood Warrior, he needed to have some strength, so he didn't consider those below Yue Yao.
Of the six guests, one was Sunshine, and the other five were Yue Yao.
Reuniting after such a long time, the six guests were naturally very curious about Ma Shangsi's experiences in the outside world. They all asked her questions, but Ma Shangsi deliberately mystified them and avoided answering them. She only chatted with them while eating and drinking.
After three rounds of wine, Ma Shangsi carefully observed his friends' expressions and saw that although their strength had improved over the years, they were still as depressed as before, so he immediately made a decision.
"Didn't you all want to know how I broke through to Sunshine?" Ma Shangsi suddenly asked.
"Senior Brother Ma is finally willing to talk?" A beautiful female Blood Race Blood Race woman's expression changed. She was one of the five Yue Yao and had reached the peak of Yue Yao's cultivation, preparing to break through to the Sunshine realm. Unfortunately, her bloodline was lacking and she couldn't see any hope of breaking through, so Ma Shangsi's breakthrough had undoubtedly given her some inspiration.
Therefore, among these people, she was the one who wanted to know the most.
Although the other Yue Yao weren't as eager as her, there was naturally no harm in learning more about this kind of matter, so she immediately showed a look of interest.
Even the only Sunshine Blood Race Blood Race cultivator called God's Grace was curious. It seemed that he had been able to break through to the Sunshine realm because of his talent. According to his understanding of Ma Shangsi, his good friend shouldn't have been able to break through the shackles of Yue Yao, but after returning from this trip, he had already broken through to the Sunshine realm, causing him to be puzzled.
"There's nothing I can't tell you." Ma Shangsi smiled lightly, "Even if I can't tell others, this Ma is naturally willing to tell you all."
As soon as these words came out, the other Blood Race cultivators were moved.
"Come with me." Ma Shang Si drank the wine in his cup and stood up to greet them.
The few members of the Blood Clan had no hesitation and hurriedly followed him.
After a short while, Ma Shangsi activated numerous restrictions in a sealed room underground, isolating it from the outside world.
When the several Blood Race cultivators who had followed him saw him being so cautious, their expressions couldn't help but turn cold. They could faintly sense that the secret Ma Shang Si was about to reveal was no small matter.
After all, there was no need to be so mysterious if it was just to explain how he managed to level up to Sunshine.
Looking at his friends' expressions, Ma Shangsi faintly smiled and slightly activated the Blood River Technique.
Soon, the entire secret chamber was filled with blood.
Ma Shangsi's voice rang out, "The reason why I was able to advance to Sunshine so smoothly is very simple …"
As his voice fell, the Holiness that he had concealed using a secret technique was slowly activated.
The faces of the Blood Clan members changed. God Grace even cried out involuntarily, "The body of a Holy Venerable?"
He could not believe what he was feeling at this moment. Ma Shangsi's blood river was actually emitting a holy aura that only a Sacred Sage could possess. Furthermore, the holy aura was still increasing, and very soon, it surpassed the level that he had felt from other Sacred Sages.
But … how was this possible?
Sacred Blood had always been strictly controlled by the upper echelons of the Blood Clan. The death of every Blood Clan Sacred Sage would be recorded, and the cause would be traced back. Then, the Sacred Blood would be retrieved.
If Ma Shangsi had obtained a drop of Sacred Blood by chance and refined it to become a Sacred Sage, then so be it. However, a drop of Sacred Blood could not possibly have such a strong holy aura.
How much Sacred Blood did he refine to reach such a level?
Under the suppression of this holy aura, he felt his blood and Qi stagnate. Even if he attacked with all his might now, he could only barely exert strength comparable to Yue Yao.
If even he was in such a state, the five Yue Yao beside him were even more limp. Their bodies went limp, and they hurriedly supported each other to prevent themselves from falling. However, their faces were filled with fear and envy.
The fear came from the suppression of their bloodlines, while the envy came from their good friends' amazing opportunity.
"Do you feel it?" Ma Shangsi tried to speak as softly as possible. He had no ill intentions towards his good friends, but the suppression of their bloodlines was not something he could control.
They all nodded.
God's Grace opened his mouth as if he wanted to ask something, but in the end, he held back. He originally wanted to know how Ma Shangsi had advanced to Rizhao and see if he could get some inspiration from Ma Shangsi's method, but now it seemed that there was no need to ask.
He could not help but feel dejected. Although he and Ma Shangsi were barely strong in the Blood Jade Realm back then, they did not have much status. They were indeed high and mighty in front of ordinary Blood Clan members, but in front of any Sacred Sage, they had to beg for mercy.
Fortunately, he had advanced to Rizhao, and his status had improved somewhat. Ma Shangsi had gone far away, but now he had returned as a Sacred Sage. In comparison, he had wasted so many years in the Blood Jade Realm.
"Do you … want it?" Ma Shangsi asked in a low voice.
The shocked Blood Clan members were all stunned. God's Grace instinctively asked, "What do you want?"
An incredulous thought suddenly flashed through his mind.
Ma Shangsi smiled faintly, then raised her hand and pointed. Six drops of golden blood suddenly flew in front of each of them.
"If you want it, hurry up and refine it. Once you refine it, you will also be Sacred Sages!"
The six Blood Clan members looked at the precious blood that had suddenly appeared in front of them. They were all like hungry wolves that had seen fat meat, and their breathing became rapid.
However, no one moved, because the precious blood in front of them looked a little different from the legendary Sacred Blood. Although it was not the same, the Sacred Nature contained in it could not be faked.
Most importantly …
"Brother Ma, where did you get so much Sacred Blood?" God's Grace's lips were dry as he looked at Ma Shangsi. His good friend's Sacred Nature was so strong, and it was obvious that he had refined a lot of Sacred Blood. It was unbelievable that he still had extra in his hands.
Ma Shangsi smiled but did not say anything.
God's Grace did not ask any more questions. He just looked at the precious blood in front of him with a conflicted expression. He could feel his bloodline's extreme desire for this drop of Sacred Blood. That desire was enough to make him lose his rationality. Although he knew that refining the Sacred Blood was extremely dangerous, he still wanted to risk his life.
And this desire would become more and more intense with the passage of time!
This was undoubtedly an unavoidable problem for the Blood Clan members when faced with the temptation of the Sacred Blood. All the Blood Clan members knew that refining the Sacred Blood was very dangerous. If they succeeded, they would become Sacred Sages, high and mighty. However, if they failed, they would die, and the risk was extremely high. However, if a Blood Clan member really faced the Sacred Blood, no one would be able to remain indifferent.
"I don't care anymore!" While he was still hesitating, on the other side, there was already a Blood Clan member who could not bear it anymore. He reached out and grabbed the golden precious blood in front of him, stuffed it into his mouth, and swallowed it whole.
With the first, there was a second. In the blink of an eye, five Yue Yao had made their choice.
God's Grace was still struggling, but he did not leave immediately. This meant that his struggle was destined to be futile.
"Let's risk it!" God's Grace shouted. He finally grabbed the precious blood and began to refine it. His many years of desire and pursuit were placed in front of him just like that. He really could not resist this temptation.
Ma Shangsi had obviously expected this situation. Only now did he stop his blood technique. He flashed to the side and waited quietly.
In the next moment, miserable screams rang out one after another from the secret room.
Ma Shangsi's expression did not change. He naturally knew how difficult the process of refining the precious blood was. However, compared to refining the real Sacred Blood, refining the precious blood had a huge advantage, and that was that there was no danger to one's life.
Over the years, he had obtained precious blood from Lu Ye more than once. He had done so, the Xiang sisters had done so, and Ding Beifeng had done so as well. However, they were still alive and well. Every time they refined the precious blood, their Sacred Nature would become richer and their bloodlines would become purer!
Time passed. After more than half a day, God's Grace's breathing finally calmed down. He slowly opened his eyes, which were filled with joy.
He had successfully refined the Sacred Blood, and now he had finally entered the ranks of the Sacred Sages!
In his joy, he thought of the others and hurriedly turned his head to take a look. He could not help but be stunned. "How could this be?"
His five good friends were actually still alive. Moreover, looking at their condition, it was obvious that they were in the process of refining and should be finished soon.
His cultivation was the highest, so he finished the fastest.
"The blood I gave you is different from the real Sacred Blood. Although refining it is difficult, there is no danger to your life." Ma Shangsi had appeared beside him at some point and explained.
God's Grace hesitated. "Brother Ma, the source of the Sacred Blood is..."
"You'll know in a moment," Ma Shangsi said.
God's Grace suppressed his doubts and calmed down to familiarize himself with his suddenly much richer bloodline. He finally understood why it was so difficult for ordinary Yue Yao to reach Sunshine.
This was not a simple matter to begin with. Not to mention ordinary Yue Yao, even Yue Yao as a Sacred Venerate might not necessarily be able to reach Sunshine. That was because it involved the comprehension of one's bloodline. Sacred Venerates only had their own advantages in this process.
Now that he had become a Sacred Venerate, his bloodline had become much richer. In the future, his cultivation would be much easier.
Moreover, he could faintly feel that there was a mysterious connection between him and a certain location nearby. After carefully sensing this connection, God's Grace was bewildered.
Half a day later, Lu Ye was sitting in a room, gazing at the six figures in front of him.
Ma Shangsi, who was standing beside him, bowed and said, "Sir, we have brought them."
Lu Ye nodded.
The six new Blood Warriors, led by God's Grace, were all looking at him curiously.
After refining his precious blood, these Blood Warriors now had a natural sense of awe and intimacy towards him. Therefore, even though it was their first time meeting him, the six Blood Warriors vaguely understood what had happened. (End of this chapter)
