Son Of Chaos - Chapter 192 Strengthen a bloodline

“But I don’t think his bloodline is strong enough for that.”, Miss. Klein directly voiced out her doubts.

“Of course not. But that doesn’t mean that it is impossible to reach the goal. After all, there are ways to strengthen the bloodline.”

Hearing her words, both Ivan and Miss. Klein looked at her in surprise. Strengthening the bloodline was an important factor in increasing one’s strength. And it was correspondingly hard. Not only would one need a lot of time and energy to do so. Often it would also be necessary to consume certain materials to do so after a certain threshold was reached. This also seemed what had happened to the elder and she was now planning to use Ivan’s bloodline to improve her own and thus breakthrough.

Seeing their skepticism, the elder smiled at them teasingly. Luckily she didn’t delay her explanation or Miss. Klein just might have hit her, just because of that smile.

“Alright, don’t get angry.

As you might know, there are different ways to strengthen a bloodline and extract it for different uses. The most common one is to strengthen the bloodline while raising the strength of the person carrying it and then having that person extract some blood essence.”

Everyone listening nodded. This truly was the most common way to do it.

“Besides extracting blood essence it is also possible to use the natural way to give a bloodline to someone else, which is how children get a bloodline. For males, this is easier since it can be done with just enough sperm, while for women some eggs have to be removed.”, she continued explaining.

This was similar to Vital Qi and how it could be transferred. In fact, Vital Qi and bloodline were linked on a basic level, since Vital Qi always depended on the bloodline. This was something Ivan already had experienced when Celine had transformed.

*I hope this won’t go in the same direction.* Sure everyone would be happy to have more beautiful women, but there was a point where it was enough for him.

“Of course, strengthening Ivan’s bloodline in his body would take a lot of effort and I don’t want to wait so long. So instead we have to extract some of his blood essences and then strengthen this little bit. This will be much easier and cheaper to do, while still fulfilling our needs.”

“So how are you planning to do that?”

“Well…”, she hesitated before answering this question of her disciple, “Normally he would have to just give us some blood essence and I could then use my power and some medical materials to do the rest. But currently, that is impossible.”

“Huh? Why?”, Miss. Klein asked in confusion.

Unlike her, Ivan had a guess as to what could hinder that normal procedure. It should be what had happened during the situation with Celine and his injuries because of the Ancestral Soul. He currently was still damaged from this and he didn’t think that even if the obvious injuries vanished, that he would directly be able to do something like giving someone blood essence.

And the elders next words confirmed his guess, “Because he is injured he is currently unable to collect any blood essence he could give me.”

“Oh.”, Miss. Klein felt dejected. She truly had hoped for her senior sister to be healed soon. Her master making a breakthrough would have only been the cherry on top. But now it seemed like they would have to wait much longer for it to happen. As for why Ivan had such injuries, she wasn’t really interested. She truly didn’t care for much besides pill refining.

She also wasn’t worried about him, since she knew that he must have understood his situation or he would have surely asked her for help. And since he didn’t seem to be worried, why should she be?

Of course, her master wouldn’t have brought up this topic if she didn’t have an idea. She too knew that but she was sure that that solution would be more problematic, because if it wasn’t, then wouldn’t it be the common way to do things like this?

“So, since this way is blocked we can only go with the natural way.”, the elder said with glee.

“Huh?”, everyone exclaimed. None of them was dumb and with her explanation before they could easily understand that she meant using Ivan’s sperm to get some bloodline essence.

Seeing her master’s proud look for coming up with the idea, Miss. Klein could only shake her head. Like herself, her master was completely clueless about the matters of men and women. During her long life, she didn’t even have anything like a boyfriend. Not to mention a husband or lover.

Miss. Klein, on the other hand, had lived in the Realm of Mythelem, where such topics were much more openly discussed than in the upper realms. She thus had a bigger understanding of the workings of getting blood essence through this way.

“I don’t think that will work.”, she said while shaking her head.

“Why not? He can just give us some of his sperm and then we will use medicine to boost the strength of the bloodline.”

Instead of trying to explain, Miss. Klein instead asked, “How much do you know about sperm, sex, and how it all works?”

“Huh? Why do I have to know much about it? Isn’t it enough to know that sperm is used to create children and carries Vital Qi as well as a bloodline essence seed?”

“Urgh. You should really read some books about it.”, Miss. Klein said while shaking her head. It seems like her master was even more naive than herself. She at least knew about what it would mean to extract Vital Qi or bloodline essence from sperm.

She knew that it was impossible to do this outside the female body. It was weird but if the sperm got into contact with the free air and wasn’t released inside a woman, the Vital Qi and the bloodline essence it contained would vanish into the same air.

“You are right. I think I saw some books about it in the library.”, her master happily exclaimed. As one could instantly see, she loved reading books. Or why else would the floor be filled with books?

“Great, then I’ll first show my disciples around and you go and read up.”, Miss. Klein told her. Hopefully, her master would have all the required information then and maybe just maybe she would even have a plan.

“Come, I’ll show you the rest of the palace.”, she told Ivan and Serge. Who instantly stood up and hurriedly followed her out. It was just too nerve-racking to stay in this room with that weird elder. Especially for Ivan who was the main target of her daring ideas.

After they had fled from the room, they exhaled deeply.

“Your master sure is weird.”, Ivan commented.

“Not really. She is just really naive and always focuses on her two hobbits only.”, Miss. Klein responded. “But you have to be careful. Once she got an idea in her head she will always try to see it through.”

Ivan shuddered. He somehow didn’t want to become a guinea pig for that woman. Somehow he didn’t think that would be fun.

“Alright. For now, let me show you around the rest of the palace.”, Miss. Klein told them and then lead them towards some small places not far from the elder’s main place.

Like before they had to walk and Ivan couldn’t help but ask, “Why do we have to walk everywhere? Isn’t there any kind of transportation system?”

“No there isn’t. The only thing helping with moving around is the formation, which speeds up our travel. There are some reasons for this, such as keeping the sky clean, reduced danger, and the training by moving on foot. Of course, most disciples are of the opinion that all of these are only reasons given to calm the disciples and in truth, there isn’t any real reason for it, except to better display hierarchies, since elders are allowed to fly inside the sect.

To be honest, I think that reason is more reasonable than the officially given ones.”

The guys had to agree with her. It truly sounded more reasonable and in line with how things usually went in this realm.

“Right. Remember that everything you want to buy in the sect has to be paid with sect contribution points. They can be stored in the crystals inserted inside your robe’s sleeves. They work just like the bank cards back home.”, she then explained to them. “Besides that, these crystals have also other functions, such as being the key to your room and serving as an identifier in general.”

They nodded. It wasn’t hard to understand the functions of these crystals. “But why are they multiple crystals and are integrated into the robe?”, Ivan asked.
