Chapter 295: Bloodline Chaos and Purity

Chapter 295: Bloodline Chaos and Purity

"The power of this punch... not bad."

The Exploding Sparrow Fist's power could easily kill a bird with a single strike.

"Without any other means, this punch... could kill someone of the same weight class."

Qi Yuan murmured.

Such power was indeed terrifying among martial artists.

For example, Xing Yu, the best friend of Wang Shiqiao, had also obtained her Martial Artist License, but even with her Gifted Martial Technique, she couldn't kill someone of the same level with a single punch.

Killing with a punch, and not even hitting a vital point, was a rare feat.

"However, relying solely on martial arts, there's still a gap to catch up to Yang Shan."

Qi Yuan secretly analyzed his own abilities.

In terms of technique, Qi Yuan far surpassed Yang Shan.

But in terms of strength, defense, and physical attributes, Yang Shan exceeded Qi Yuan by a large margin.

For instance, even if Qi Yuan knew how to block, he couldn't react in time.

Of course, this was based on Qi Yuan's current physical condition.

His body was cursed, making him weaker than an average person.

While cultivating, his physical condition was barely comparable to a normal person.

"Having reached the seventh layer, it's time to use the Sacred Substance."

The next day, the sunlight filtered through the curtains, casting a pile of scattered light on the floor.

Qi Yuan sat in the living room, eating a breakfast prepared by Ling Yi, the intelligent robot.

As an intelligent robot, Ling Yi could make simple meals and standardized dishes.

Qi Yuan was eating a light breakfast—white congee, a few radish wraps, and a salted egg.

"Next time, add more meat, I need to grow." Qi Yuan said casually.

Although the house was filled with various medicinal ingredients and even Sea Monsters, these were cultivation resources, and eating too much of them would become tiresome.

Qi Yuan practiced martial arts daily, consuming a lot of energy.

"Okay." Ling Yi received the new command and proceeded to execute it.

About ten minutes later, the robot had cleared the table of all the food.

Qi Yuan's eyes lit up with a smile, "Actually, this robot is quite interesting, almost like a puppet."

In the Canglan Realm, there were puppets, crafted through puppetry.

These crafted puppets were far more intelligent than Ling Yi.

Even some high-level spiritual magical artifacts could awaken their spirituality and develop consciousness.

For example... Qi Yuan's daughter, Qi Jianjun, could, in a sense, be considered a magical artifact.

"Should I modify Ling Yi a bit? It's a bit dumb now, and its combat power... is almost non-existent."

Qi Yuan pondered.

"If I create ten thousand puppets and have them pretend to be humans, going to the electronics factory, wouldn't I earn millions every month?"

Qi Yuan was tempted.

But the idea seemed unrealistic.

Ten thousand puppets would require an enormous amount of materials.

He didn't feel like making puppets either.

"Just Ling Yi alone can be modified a bit.

With some combat power, it can help guard the house when I'm not around."

In the house filled with useful plants and Sea Monsters, sent by Tu Huan, Qi Yuan, with his low cultivation, couldn't create a storage bag.

As he was thinking this, the doorbell rang.

"Come in."

At that moment, the door opened, and Tu Huan, dressed in a black jacket, entered the house.

His face carried a respectful expression, a far cry from the arrogant arms dealer outside.

In his hands, he held a large box.

"Mr. Qi, I've brought the Sacred Substance you requested. Is it enough for your needs?"

Facing Qi Yuan, Tu Huan showed no arrogance.

Firstly, Qi Yuan's defeat of Zhao Renji was too mysterious and powerful. After investigating, Tu Huan realized that such a feat was impossible with ordinary means.

Secondly, during this time, under Qi Yuan's guidance, his cultivation had finally shown progress.

The previous night, he stretched out his finger and managed to condense a wisp of flame.

Although this flame was weaker than a lighter's flame and could be extinguished with a single breath, it was still the first time he had successfully cultivated it.

The joy of this achievement was something he had kept hidden, not daring to share it with anyone.

Even when asked, he claimed he hadn't succeeded.

"These are the Sacred Substances..."

Qi Yuan immediately identified the main ingredient within the box—dried meat resembling beef jerky.

"Is this... Sea Monster meat?"

The primary component of the Sacred Substance was indeed Sea Monster meat.

No wonder cultivating martial arts was so expensive.

Xing Yu spent tens of thousands on Sacred Substances every month.

If it was Sea Monster meat, it was indeed worth the price.

"Mr. Qi, you have a good eye. I've also investigated some information about the Sacred Substance.

Tu Huan had a basic understanding of martial arts but not extensive knowledge.

He only investigated the Sacred Substance after Qi Yuan's request.

After investigating, he was shocked by what he discovered.

Apparently, the Sacred Substance used in the martial arts world was a prohibited Sea Monster product.

This revelation cleared up many of Kan Huan's doubts.

In the Qin Yuan Kingdom, ordinary martial artists either became internet celebrities or joined the government, with the navy being the most popular choice.

Regarding the use of the prohibited sea monster as a sacred substance, even if the higher-ups knew, they wouldn't say anything.

Generally, those who chose to practice martial arts came from families with some wealth.

Encouraging them to spend money through martial arts training and stimulating consumption was a good thing, as it kept wealth circulating.

Perhaps, the biggest producer of this prohibited substance was some high-ranking official.

After all, the entire Qin Yuan Kingdom's sacred substance business... How much money could it possibly make?

It's an astronomical figure.

"So, martial arts... have a deep connection with sea monsters."

Qi Yuan picked up a piece of dried sea monster meat and put it in his mouth, slowly chewing.

The taste was somewhat like dried fruit meat, salty with a hint of sweetness.

Clearly, the sacred substance wasn't just simple sea monster meat; it had many other ingredients added to it.

"So, it's blood?"

After consuming the sacred substance, Qi Yuan felt the most significant improvement was a slight warmth in his blood.

Of course, this level of warmth was imperceptible to the martial artists of this world.

Qi Yuan also gained a deeper understanding of the martial arts in this world.

"However, since everyone's bloodline origins are different, ordinary sacred substances... supplement all sorts of blood... This can indeed enhance martial arts cultivation, but it also... clogs up one's own bloodline."

Yang Shan had mentioned that in ancient times, apart from gifted martial techniques, powerful martial artists also had gifted killing moves.

But when ordinary people consumed various inferior sacred substances, their bodies merged with different bloodlines, leading to chaotic and impure bloodlines, preventing them from forming their own gifted killing moves.

Qi Yuan easily deduced the situation regarding gifted killing moves in this world.

Kan Huan listened attentively but didn't understand a word.

"The taste is good, and it's quite nutritious."

Despite the chaotic bloodlines, Qi Yuan still consumed the sacred substance.

Martial arts cultivation was inseparable from the sacred substance.

Without strengthening one's bloodline, cultivation would be extremely challenging, and progress in martial techniques would be difficult.

To maintain a pure bloodline, one had to devour mutated sea monsters, and they had to be of the same bloodline.

Unfortunately, such sea monsters were rare encounters.

Therefore, Qi Yuan thought that when his martial arts cultivation reached its limit, he could consider purifying his bloodline.

Moreover, although consuming the sacred substance would make his bloodline "chaotic," Qi Yuan had a Devouring Original Body, so his blood would not truly become "chaotic."

"How's your cultivation going?" Qi Yuan asked Kan Huan after finishing the sacred substance.

"I can already... emit a strand of flame!" Kan Huan was excited to finally have someone to share this with.

As he spoke, a weak flame appeared in his hand.

However, this flame was too feeble.

"That's great! You finally have a skill. If your family falls on hard times, you can become a magician and still make a decent living." Qi Yuan sincerely praised him.

In the 1619 book, there was no mistake!

Indeed, those who followed him had a bright future.

Even if Kan Huan lost his job, he could become a magician.

"I've further refined your martial technique. You can practice it up to the Foundation Establishment stage without issues."

Qi Yuan gave Kan Huan the advanced techniques from the 'Super Invincible Explosive Art.'

He listed the required materials one by one.

This time, he needed materials for cultivation, puppetry, and Foundation Establishment.

This world lacked Foundation Establishment materials, so Qi Yuan had to create them himself.

Calculating the time, he would begin Foundation Establishment in less than a month.

Within half a year, he would enter the Primordial Core stage.

By then, he could take on Ning Tuo.

"I'll arrange it immediately!" Kan Huan said solemnly, "Mr. Qi, in the coming days, I might not be able to deliver the goods personally.

Recently, the Wugu Kingdom and Yue Lang Kingdom have gone to war again, and I need to send a batch of military supplies to support Yue Lang."

Kan Huan's business was arms trading.

In reality, he was also a military personnel from the Qin Yuan Kingdom, helping to sell off some military supplies.

Currently, Yue Lang Kingdom is a nation supported by the Qin Yuan Kingdom, and they've gone to war with the Wugu Kingdom.

With this new mission, Kan Huan might be in Yue Lang for a few months, or even years.

"It's fine as long as I have the materials I need." Qi Yuan was unconcerned.

The war between Yue Lang Kingdom and Wugu Kingdom wasn't unexpected.

In recent trending topics, many inhumane facts about the Wugu Kingdom had been exposed.

The Wugu Kingdom and Yue Lang Kingdom were on the brink of war, and it was inevitable.

Even if the two countries didn't want to fight, the Qin Yuan Kingdom and Ancient Witch Kingdom wouldn't allow it.

"Rest assured, Mr. Qi, I'll definitely arrange the materials you need!" Kan Huan replied earnestly.

"Alas, it's a pity I'm not a demon cultivator and don't have the Ten Thousand Souls Banner. Otherwise, I could collect many lost souls on the battlefield."

"Qi Yuan thought to himself.

Ordinary mortals do not possess Yang Deities, and when they die, they simply perish.

However, Cultivators can extract and refine residual souls from the dead, summing them into the Ten Thousand Souls Banner, which serves as a Sacred Substance.

'What is the Ten Thousand Souls Banner...?' Kan Huan asked, perplexed.

'Hmm... Those who use the Ten Thousand Souls Banner are mostly Evil Cultivators. If I were to see such a person, I'd run as far away as possible.'

Qi Yuan prided himself on being lawful and good, respecting the law and even yielding his seat to elderly gentlemen on public transportation. He held a deep disdain in his heart for Evil Cultivators.

'I'll remember your words,' Kan Huan assured, and he would certainly not forget Qi Yuan's instructions.

Qi Yuan was a legendary Cultivator.

One month later, at the Bright Martial Studio, Qi Yuan was cultivating.

By now, he had already reached the ninth layer of the Bright Martial Resonance Fist.

Compared to when he first entered the studio, his essence, energy, and spirit had improved significantly.

When he threw punches, they were fierce and intimidating.

Nearby, the students of the Bright Martial Studio sat together, chatting casually.

Among them, Wang Shiqiao stood out with her crossed legs and a lady's cigarette, seemingly unconcerned about her image.

'Xing Rich Lady, can you lend me some money to spend? I heard you got 170 million in the inheritance!' Wang Shiqiao looked at Xing Yu, her eyes filled with envy.

Just half a month ago, Xing Yu's husband, in his seventies, had finally passed away.

The inheritance was divided, and Xing Yu received 170 million.

For the students present, 170 million was no small amount.

Among all the students, only Xu Tiewa could afford such a sum in cash.

Xing Yu was considered a rich lady among the students.

'Don't you dare covet my money. I plan to donate a school in our town,' Xing Yu said, a hint of satisfaction in her smile.

She came from a small town, and her family background was quite ordinary.

Although it was called a town, its population was even smaller than that of a village on Bluesphere.

The local school was also in a state of disrepair.

At that time, Xing Yu had passed the entrance exam for a key university, and the entire town had given her many gifts.

It could be said that most of Xing Yu's university tuition was funded by the townspeople.

The tuition fees for universities in Qin Yuan Kingdom, especially key universities, were very high, with at least several hundred thousand required per year.

Many children from poor families, even if they passed the entrance exams for key universities, couldn't afford the tuition and had to borrow high-interest student loans.

Xing Yu's townfolk were very kind; they had helped her gather the tuition fees, so she was able to attend university.

Xing Yu was very grateful to the townspeople.

Even after becoming successful, she hadn't forgotten to support her hometown.

This time, after inheriting the estate, she planned to donate a school to her hometown and establish a company, utilizing the resources of Tian Yue City to help her fellow townspeople.

'With only 170 million, you'll squander it in no time. Be careful; you might lose it all in a few years,' Wang Shiqiao couldn't help but blurt out.

'Rest assured, I still have 20 million that I won't touch. Even if I fail, I'll just live as an ordinary person,' Xing Yu smiled.

To her husband's son, she was a gold digger, shameless and without a conscience. But to the townspeople, she was undoubtedly ambitious and grateful.

'20 million isn't enough, especially with the current complex international situation.

Yue Lang and Wugu have started a war again, and those damned Guiran People do nothing but cause trouble!'

'Especially the leader of Wugu, who just yesterday threatened to retaliate against our Qin Yuan.

But he's just a lapdog of the Ancient Witch Kingdom, so bold!' Wang Shiqiao stubbed out her cigarette, her breasts aching with anger whenever she mentioned the Guiran People.

The previous night, she had been engaged in a heated online argument with a Guiran person, spanning dozens of posts.

She was so furious that she felt like enlisting in the army to support Yue Lang."

Of course, it was just a thought; enlisting in the army was out of the question.

'You should stop arguing with others online; you can't win anyway,' Xing Yu said with a smile.

She and Wang Shiqiao were roommates, and knowing Wang Shiqiao's personality, she could tell that Wang Shiqiao had been arguing with someone online the previous night.

'I just wanted to vent my frustration. That guy was so disgusting. As a soldier, he dared to slaughter civilians, not only feeling no shame but also boasting about it and posting videos to show off!

We're all human; how can they be so disgusting?'

'They're not ordinary humans; their leader claims to be a descendant of the Brilliant Star left behind on Arcstar. Their bloodline is noble, so they don't consider us as their own kind,' Xing Yu explained.

In the studio, the students discussed the war between Yue Lang and Wugu, their voices filled with indignation.

At this moment, Qi Yuan raised an eyebrow and paused his movements. 'Wang Shiqiao, it seems you're not up to the task. If anyone dares to insult me online, I'll trace their IP and beat them to death!'

Qi Yuan had done this many times before.

'Haha, you're so badass! Can you help me beat up the person who insulted me last night?' Hearing Qi Yuan's words, Wang Shiqiao laughed.

'It wasn't an insult to me, so I can't be bothered,' Qi Yuan shrugged.

'If you bring me their head, I'll give you a hundred thousand!' Wang Shiqiao joked.

After all, it was just a joke, and anything goes with jokes.
