Rebirth Of The Villainous Crown Prince - Chapter 600: Their Origins

“A way to increase our cultivation speed?” Zheng Xiang was surprised, “Really?”

Ye Tian Yun shrugged, “Why would I lie? BUT… as I said, I am not sure if it will work or not.”

Jun Xie frowned, “Will it help in alchemy? Remember the pill you wanted? The Dantian Mending Pill? It’s quite complicated, and I think it will take some more time than we had earlier expected.”

Ye Tian Yun nodded, “I understand. Well, it might help you with the alchemy too. We will know once I have confirmed everything.”

Zheng Xiang sighed, “This is good. My cultivation is lacking a lot, and if this goes on, I will end up as a burden on you guys.”

Ye Tian Yun frowned, “Well, it’s true that you’re currently very weak, but if you make the right use of your bloodline, you might catch up.”

Zheng Xiang nodded, “I hope so!”

“Bloodline?” Jun Xie frowned; he was unaware of Zheng Xiang’s bloodline ability, which helped him in improving his cultivation base.

“Well, it’s nothing much,” Zheng Xiang didn’t hide anything, “My bloodline is somewhat special, and because of it, I never face any bottlenecks. In simple words, as long as I have enough cultivation resources, I will be able to break through to the next stage.”

“Oh?” Jun Xie smiled, “You’re the second person whom I have met that can do this. But, aren’t you from a normal clan? Your clan was in Silver Mist City, right?”

Zheng Xiang nodded, “Yeah, but I was adopted. My adoptive father found me in an injured state when I was less than a year old. Anyway, who’s the other person with such a bloodline?”

Jun Xie shrugged, “You’re talking to him.”

“Talking to him… wait… what!?” Zheng Xiang had his eyes open in shock, “Really!?”

Jun Xie shrugged, “It’s not that big of a deal, to be honest. It’s just something that I chose not to reveal to anyone.”

“Damn!” Zheng Xiang was speechless.

Even Ye Tian Yun was surprised.

“I thought I may have something that can help me catch up with you guys!” Zheng Xiang sighed, “Not that I am not happy for you, Brother Jun, but it’s just, I really thought my bloodline may have made a difference.”

Jun Xie shrugged, “You don’t have to worry about me. I am an alchemist.”

Zheng Xiang pursed his lips, “Why are you going after alchemy? You could have easily reached the peak of Tri-Qi Realms by now if you had chosen to focus on cultivation.”

Jun Xie shrugged, “I am almost a Level Three Alchemist. It’s not official yet, but I am sure I am the youngest Level Three Alchemist in the Lower Heavens.”

Ye Tian Yun smiled.

‘Indeed… but the Lower Heavens is not the whole world. There’s the Middle Heavens… there lives a genius who reached Level Three when he was just twelve…’

A familiar ‘friendly’ face appeared in Ye Tian Yun’s mind.

Ye Tian Yun shook his head and cleared his thoughts.

He didn’t wish to ruin his mood by thinking about a useless enemy.

“Senior Brother Jun, since we’re talking about bloodlines, I must tell you’re not the first person whom I have encountered who has this bloodline.”

Ye Tian Yun glanced at him, “There’s someone else?”

Zheng Xiang nodded, “Indeed. And we all know her very closely.”

“Hm? Who?” Jun Xie frowned.

Ye Tian Yun already guessed in his mind.

“Bai Qing’er?” He said.

“Yes!” Zheng Xiang smiled, “How did you guess her name, though?”

Ye Tian Yun replied, “Do you remember the Royal Edict?”

The other two nodded.

“Then you must also remember the pressure everyone felt? That was bloodline pressure. It’s a despicable trick and something that’s frowned upon by powerful sects and clans. Well, the more powerful your bloodline is, the less pressure you will feel.”

“Oh?” Jun Xie frowned, “Is that why many people had bad expressions while I didn’t feel much pressure?”

Ye Tian Yun nodded, “Yes, that’s precisely what happened. And the reason why I guessed Bai Qing’er has the bloodline is that she didn’t feel any pressure. Clearly, her bloodline is more powerful than King Xin’s.”

“Woah! I didn’t notice that….” Zheng Xiang was amazed by this observation.

Ye Tian Yun shrugged, “Well, now we have three people with powerful bloodlines. And another coincidence is that you two have never met your parents. Did Bai Qing’er know about her clan, or is she adopted too?”

Ye Tian Yun didn’t know much about Bai Qing’er’s background, but he did know a few things, like the fact that she was actually an orphan.

“Um, actually, I don’t know if I am the right person to say this, but here it goes – she doesn’t remember her past.” Zheng Xiang sighed, “The oldest memory she has is of her mother’s face and a gift her mother gave her.”

“Oh?” Ye Tian Yun nodded.

Jun Xie glanced at Ye Tian Yun and asked, “My father is from Middle Heavens, right?”

“Um… not quite….” Ye Tian Yun shook his head, “He’s in the Middle Heavens, but I don’t think that’s his birthplace. If you possess the same bloodline, then… there’s a possibility that you are from the Upper Heavens!”

“Upper Heavens!” Jun Xie gulped.

Ye Tian Yun nodded, “And same goes for Zheng Xiang and Bai Qing’er!”

Zheng Xiang frowned, “Brother Fang… no, I am not from the Upper Heavens.”

“Hm?” Ye Tian Yun was taken aback, “What do you mean?”

“I will never consider myself to be a part of the Upper Heavens,” Zheng Xiang said with a solemn expression, “To me, the Zheng Clan in the Silver Mist City was my home, and it will forever be my home. And the goal of my life is vengeance!”

Ye Tian Yun pursed his lips, “What if your real parents were forced to leave you?”

Zheng Xiang shrugged, “Why does that matter? My adoptive father took care of me more than anyone else.”

Ye Tian Yun nodded, “Well, that’s true.”

Exhaling a long breath, he added, “Well, I won’t speak more on this topic, but if you ever meet your real parents in the future, Zheng Xiang, I want you to listen to their side of the story. No parent would abandon their child.”

Zheng Xiang nodded, “I will try.”

Then turning towards Jun Xie, he asked, “Brother Jun, what will you do if you ever meet your father?”
