Gate of Immortality - Chapter 249: Usage Of Internal Energy
It was his first time inscribing the Freezing rune formation, so Yang Shi didn’t dare to be negligent. A small error and all of his effort and soul qi will be wasted.
His hands weren’t fast at all. In fact, they were moving very slow.
The reason Yang Shi was able to inscribe the Burning Petal Rune formation was that he had seen Lin Ying inscribing it before he did.
But for the Freezing rune formation, he only has theoretical knowledge. So each rune he is inscribing was drawn with utmost focus.
The Freezing rune formation was different from the Burning Petals rune formation. The properties of elements, the runic diagrams, all are different.
After one hour passed, Yang Shi’s soul qi was almost depleted. But he finished the Freezing rune formation before the soul qi finished completely.
” I can feel that my attainment in the art of Rune inscription has made significant progress. I will reach the Master grade in a few weeks. But my soul qi is becoming a hindrance.” Yang Shi frowned.
” Check this Freezing rune and see if it is working properly. As for the Wind Breeze Rune, you need to wait for a while.” Yang Shi spoke as he left.
Wen Ran was still in a daze as he saw Yang Shi inscribing the rune formation. He hurriedly went there and activated the freezing rune formation.
*KRRRRRRRR*
The runes buzzed as white mist appeared. The runes lighted with pale blue light as the air around it suddenly turned cold.
He put a pot full of water on the Freezing rune and saw the water slowly turning cold and a layer of ice appearing on the surface.
” Yes! The Freezing rune is working fine!” Wen Ran exclaimed in his heart. He looked at the departing figure of Yang Shi as fell into deep thought.
” Little Wen, is everything alright?” Uncle Han asked hastily.
” Yes, everything is fine. But I am thinking about some other things.” Wen Ran sighed. ” Looking at Yang Shi, I feel he is so much talent.”
” This restaurant was the pride of our Wen family, yet it was ruined by my hands.”
” What right I have t stay here?” Wen Ran sighed. ” I should sell this place to him.” He spoke in a low voice.
” Little Wen, Are you sure?” Uncle Han’s tone turned serious.
” This restaurant was once the pride of the Wen family. Even the previous king of Azure Feather Ancient kingdom and Sect maters from the various sects used to come here.”
” You are the owner of this place now. It’s on you to decide the fate of this place. But if you ask me…” Uncle Han’s voice turned softer, ” I wish if you could regain its fallen glory.”
” Uncle Han…” Wen Ran didn’t say anything as he remained silent. He looked at the fireplace with a distant gaze.
Suddenly, he clenched his fist as he took out an iron wok. He put it on the stove as he activated the Burning Petals rune formation. The flames blazed as Wen Ren poured oil in the wok.
” I still have some time. Till the last moment, I won’t give up.” Wen Ren laughed as he started cooking.
” Hahaha, Little Wen, don’t worry. I will support you no matter what you decide. Since you have decided to continue, I will also help you wholeheartedly.” Uncle Han nodded.
” This kid still has some potential.” Yang Shi murmured.
He didn’t leave immediately, but stayed behind the wall and heard their takings. Yang Shi was prepared to give Wen Ran a chance, but he had to see his attitude first.
Wen Ran’s perseverance and determination had won the approval of Yang Shi. He decided to talk with him later.
” Hmm, The store is already established. I should start the preparation for forging a True grade weapon.” Yang Shi mumbled.
” Brother Yang, are you still here?” Jin Yu came down from the stair as he asked Yang Shi.
” Yes, What happened?” Yang Shi answered.
” I feel I haven’t absorbed demonic qi for a while. Can you gather some cultivation material for me?” She spoke in a low voice.
” Ah, I understand.” Yang Shi nodded.
Jin Yu’s cultivation method was very different from humans. She needs to consume spiritual herbs and demonic qi to cultivate.
” This damned curse, even my bloodline power can’t suppress it. Otherwise, I would have reached the peak of Ancient Beast rank.” Jin Yu grumbled.
” Indeed.” Yang Shi nodded as Jin Yu had the bloodline of the Golden Roc clan, which is a divine beast species.
” Wait, Bloodline…” Yang Shi felt a jolt in his head as he suddenly realized something.
” Jin Yu, I suddenly thought of something. Didn’t you say my Internal energy has some sort of mysterious property?” He asked carefully.
” Uhh, Yes? Your internal energy is very mysterious. It has a strong refining power. My curse was mostly eroded by the energy of yours.”
” Moreover, It can also refine bloodline and make it pure. Xiao Hei was the best example. His bloodline was purified because you used the internal energy.” She spoke.
” Bloodline purification! Indeed, Why didn’t I think of it before?!” Yang Shi almost slapped himself as he thought.
He always tried to find the usage of Internal Energy, yet he almost neglected this huge opportunity. Bloodline was one of the most important factors which decided a person’s talent.
The higher cultivation of the ancestors, powerful the bloodline descendants get. With a superior bloodline, one can easily surpass their peers by a great margin.
But with such bloodlines, many problems come. One of the most serious problems is bloodline dilution. After many generations, the bloodline of their ancestors starts to dilute.
If not given proper care, after a time the bloodline power diminishes greatly. They need to find various methods like Bloodline Refining Pill or treasures which can purify their blood and awake their ancestor’s bloodline again.
” But those things are just too rare and precious. Unless one reaches a certain cultivation stage, they can’t purify their bloodline.”
” This is the reason why many great clans and demon beasts ceased to exist.” Yang Shi thought inwardly.
” But with my Internal Energy, I can easily awake their bloodline. If I make this a business…” Yang Shi’s eyes started to gleam.
” Brother Yang, are you okay?” Jin Yu took a step back as she asked in a weird tone. The expression Yang Shi was giving was very creepy for her.
” HAHAHA.” Yang Shi was laughing loudly in his heart. ” Ahaha, Jin Yu, you solved such a big problem of mine.” Yang Shi patted her head.
” Come, I will give you a treat today.” Yang Shi smiled.
” Really?” Jin Yu’s eyes started to shine.
” I have heard that the medicine store here sells Beast Feeding Pills. Let’s check them.” Yang Shi chuckled.
” I have heard about them. Apparently, those are made to enhance the strength of demonic beasts.” Jin Yu nodded.
Both of them walked out as the first went to the True Alchemy Hall
