Chapter 437: Bloodline Elixir!
Chapter 437: Bloodline Elixir!
The Heavenly Fortress!
Dong Ping and his two companions had stealthily returned, and Houji had even fabricated evidence of Dong Ping and Hyuga Cangyue traveling together.
With this, no one would suspect them of the Death Valley incident, as they were heading towards the Heavenly Fortress at the time.
One must admit, the Shadow Clone Jutsu is incredibly useful.
By creating two shadow clones and using Transformation Jutsu, as long as no ninja inspected them, there were no flaws in the plan.
Upon their return, Dong Ping immediately dove into the laboratory, while Hyuga Cangyue and Uchiha Yai stood guard outside.
They took turns keeping watch.
It was no wonder they were so meticulous; they all understood the importance of the task, and even though they knew this place was secure, they still had no intention of leaving.
After all, during this period, spies from various powerful factions were everywhere.
Especially the White Death, who was more difficult to guard against than any other spy, so extra caution was necessary.
Fortunately, they had prepared in advance and wrapped the entire laboratory in steel plates.
In a ninja village like Konoha, this would be impossible due to the limited steel production.
However, the Heavenly Fortress, having inherited the legacy of the Sky Ninja Village, had an abundance of steel, allowing them to afford such measures.
The primary benefit was not to enhance defense!
While it did provide some defense, it was not a significant concern for them.
No matter how strong the defense, could they rely on it?
The main purpose of the steel was to prevent enemies from infiltrating using Earth Style techniques.
This was the crucial point!
With the steel plate barrier, it was challenging for anyone to infiltrate, whether using Earth Style or other means.
Of course, if there were Byakugan users with spatial abilities, they would be blocked by a barrier.
If they were unaware, it wouldn't be an issue, but knowing the opponent had spatial abilities, creating preventive measures was not a problem, at most requiring more materials.
There were indeed spatial barriers.
Aside from that, techniques like the Flying Thunder God: Lightning Guidance, which Minato Namikaze used to transfer the Nine-Tails' Tailed Beast Ball, and Danzo's Inner Tetragram Sealing, which could seal an entire bridge, were all applications of barriers in spatial manipulation.
Indeed, these were examples of barriers in spatial manipulation.
With Dong Ping's current sealing technique proficiency, creating preventive measures was not a problem, so the steel plates primarily served to guard against Zetsu.
The laboratory had only one entrance and exit, hence the need for someone to stand guard.
Normally, they wouldn't be too concerned, as Dong Ping was no weakling, but his frequent use of Sage Mode had caused a backlash, necessitating someone to keep watch.
The urgency was to prevent wasting 'materials.'
The bloodline needed to be utilized while it was still active.
Here, 'active' refers to the bloodline's 'activity,' not something else, so no misunderstandings, please.
There was a shortcut.
Transplantation!
In the original storyline, the future Great Tree Sage took this path.
However, Dong Ping immediately rejected this idea.
While transplanting someone else's organs could provide a 'finished product,' it also limited potential.
Additionally, there was a significant difference between one's own body and that of another, as evidenced by Nagato.
So, he aimed to extract the other party's bloodline.
Bloodline!
This referred to the bloodline of the Great Tree Clan.
If we were to compare the purity of bloodlines, Hyuga Cangyue's was far inferior to that of Hyuga Hinata, the Crown Princess.
She was the true 'Byakugan Princess,' with an unprecedentedly pure bloodline.
Unfortunately, she encountered the Six Paths Sage's son, Minato, and her potential was wasted. If the story followed a female protagonist route, she might have become another Kaguya.
Wait,
their side had prepared a 'script' for her, and it might have already begun.
After all, on their journey back, Uchiha Yai had transmitted some information, which might have included the order to commence the plan.
Extracting an ordinary bloodline wouldn't require such complexity.
But for the Great Tree Clan's bloodline, considered the 'strongest in the Shinobi World,' Dong Ping was extremely cautious.
After nearly a week of tireless work, he finally completed his task.
"Impressive!"
Dong Ping held the vial in front of him.
The pale blue liquid inside was the fruit of his week-long labor.
The various materials and consumables alone almost depleted the laboratory's resources, and the cost, when converted to money, was over ten billion.
(End of Chapter)And this doesn't even include the technical fee for Dong Ping, otherwise even a price of a hundred billion taels wouldn't be excessive.
The extravagant consumption was naturally due to Dong Ping's desire to extract the bloodline as perfectly as possible.
Facing the only two Uzu Clan bloodlines in the Shinobi World, the Lunar Branch, Dong Ping didn't want to waste even a single bit, so he was going to do it as efficiently as possible, not fearing any amount of consumption.
Money could be earned again, and materials could be gradually stockpiled, but there weren't many Great Tree Wood Straight Man bloodlines left.
Rubbing his waist, Dong Ping felt a deep sense of fatigue wash over him.
Fortunately, there was the Clarifying Agent, which allowed him to maintain his Sage Time, enabling him to endure a week without sleep.
If he had done this in his previous life, he might have ended up in the VIP section of the morgue by now.
Wait a minute!
The reason he had crossed over was because of overworking himself to death, wasn't it?
So, after crossing over and discovering that the local system was so impolite, not giving him any cheats, he was ready to lie down and live off others.
If it weren't for Danzo using him as a tool to tarnish Kakashi, he wouldn't have considered getting back into the fray.
If he had been grinding before crossing over and continued to do so after, then wasn't his crossing over pointless?
Unfortunately, there were no ifs, and if he didn't want to die, he had to keep grinding.
Damn Danzo! Dong Ping cursed the Pot King in his mind as he rubbed his waist.
Sure enough, he felt much better after that.
He pressed the button next to the experimental table.
As a result, Hyuga Cangyue and Uchiha Yai, who were waiting outside the laboratory, received the signal immediately and rushed in.
Yes, you didn't misread that—the laboratory door wasn't even locked.
Even the strongest door would be useless if they couldn't withstand the pressure.
For the past week, the two of them had been standing guard outside without taking a step away, so it was natural for them to be the first to enter.
As soon as they entered the laboratory, Hyuga Cangyue's gaze was drawn to the pale blue liquid in the vial in Dong Ping's hand.
Her instincts told her that this was what she had been longing for.
"Here!"
Dong Ping, naturally sensing Hyuga Cangyue's unusual behavior, threw the bloodline agent in his hand towards her.
The vial had a cork stopper, so it wouldn't spill, and the vial itself was made of special glass, ensuring there wouldn't be any cliched scenes of it slipping and shattering on the ground.
Slap! Hyuga Cangyue instinctively caught the vial.
At that moment, her mind was a little dazed, as if her intelligence had gone offline.
This situation wasn't an exaggeration.
It was like after going hungry for several days, seeing a delicious meal would cause anyone to lose their reason.
"Let's begin!"
Dong Ping gestured for Hyuga Cangyue to drink the vial of bloodline agent he had carefully prepared.
Even knowing that she would enter a metamorphosis period after drinking it, he didn't mind.
Compared to gaining an Ultra Kage Rank combat power, everything else could be ignored.
With Ultra Kage Rank combat power, even if they missed this opportunity, they could slowly find another chance in the future.
But if the Reincarnation Eye were to have problems due to the delay, Dong Ping would be heartbroken.
Currently, there was only one remaining Uzu Clan bloodline, Great Tree Sage, and to capture him, they would first have to find the Earth-Moon Passage, and then kill him on the moon, a task of unimaginable difficulty.
Therefore, Dong Ping naturally wouldn't make the wrong choice this time.
Upon hearing Dong Ping's words, Hyuga Cangyue resolutely removed the cork and, under Uchiha Yai's envious and jealous gaze, drank the pale blue agent in one go.
As long as her genes were completed and she absorbed the other's bloodline, her bloodline purity would increase, and she wouldn't be a hair weaker than the Byakugan Princess.
The laboratory had everything, even more convenient than a hospital, which was why Dong Ping had Hyuga Cangyue consume the bloodline agent there instead of elsewhere.
After drinking it, Hyuga Cangyue closed her eyes and felt the changes within her body.
There wasn't any violent reaction.
This secretly relieved Dong Ping.
If there had been a violent change, it wouldn't have been a promotion or metamorphosis, but a mutation.
Dong Ping's completion plan centered around Hyuga Cangyue, using her bloodline to complete and enhance her own, not replacing it, which was why it was so gentle.
Of course, this approach had higher potential and better controllability.
The drawback was that it required time to grow, not instantly reaching the peak state.
After a while, Hyuga Cangyue finally reopened her eyes, revealing a stunning scene.
