Eternal Life Starts as a Hunter-Chapter 294 - 125: Five Sources and Nine Ancestors True Self, Four Lotus Family Innate Blood

Chapter 294: Chapter 125: Five Sources and Nine Ancestors True Self, Four Lotus Family Innate Blood

If he visualized the "Gentleman Riding a Deer Painting," the attitude of this heroine toward him might just be "neutral."

If he chose the "South Mountain Ghost Rain Painting," then it might just be "hostile."

...

...

Subsequently, Gu Xuejian unceremoniously settled down in Baihua Manor.

With such a fast blade staying at home, Li Yuan thought he might as well use this blade to kill all the surrounding enemies.

Every day, he would go out personally, then consolidate information from the proprietress and Yu Chaoyin, and then personally deliver it to Gu Xuejian.

And this Vice Hall Master’s conduct indeed left him somewhat "caught off guard."

This Vice Hall Master was actually fond of drinking.

But her drinking habits were good, never causing any disputes,

and surprisingly willing to spend money on buying wine.

After learning the price of the Snow Brew, she bought ten jars in one go.

Upon knowing that the Snow Brew was brewed by the Baihua Winery in front of the manor, she relocated from the backyard to the front yard.

However, she was still very disciplined, never going to the winery to see how the wine was brewed, and instead just waited to buy the new wine as it came out.

Her actions left Li Yuan very puzzled.

After getting along for a few days, he was able to casually chat with this Senior for a few sentences.

"Senior, aren’t you cultivating?" he asked.

Gu Xuejian replied: "I’m stuck."

Li Yuan could ask no more.

Gu Xuejian didn’t elaborate much either, instead drinking in the sunlight, with her snow-white neck slightly raised, her long hair draping over her shoulders, and her strong yet slender waist simply tied with a grass rope, she didn’t look like a master at all.

Gu Xuejian took a few sips and said, "Why aren’t you asking anymore?"

Li Yuan said, "It involves Senior’s cultivation secrets, so I won’t ask."

Gu Xuejian said boldly, "It’s no secret, come over, I’ll tell you. Consider it some compensation for staying at your place and getting your help."

Li Yuan went over, saluted, and said, "Then I shall ask for guidance."

Gu Xuejian sighed softly and said, "Five Sources and Nine Ancestors True Self."

Li Yuan: ???

Gu Xuejian said: "Five Sources refers to the Fifth Grade, with five threads of Extreme Yang Source Blood swirling around the heart;

Nine Ancestors refers to the Fourth Grade, where the heart undergoes Ancestral Transformation, with each transformation going deeper;

The True Self is the Third Grade.

In the human world, the Emperor is named after the number ninety-five, which is considered supreme.

This Five Sources and Nine Ancestors True Self is somewhat similar.

As for the ’True Self’ realm, I’m at a loss, completely baffled.

However, I’m not at a point worth worrying yet, as I haven’t reached the first ancestor of the Nine Ancestors.

This level requires actual combat, even life-and-death battles, so... I’m here looking for the Red Lotus Thieves."

Extreme Yang Source Blood?

Li Yuan instantly thought of the wisp of Extreme Yang Blood swirling on his heart.

Only, the temperature was there, the Yang Qi was ample, but it seemed... rather stiff and dull, clearly missing a piece of the puzzle.

This puzzle piece, he knew, was the Ancestral Talisman, most likely he would have to wait for three disciples respectively cultivating "Overlord Blade," "Absolute Blade," and "Demon Blade" to reach the Sixth Grade Great Perfection before he could break through to the Fifth Grade, which meant endowing the Extreme Yang Blood with a "soul," to make it a thread of Source Blood as Gu Xuejian mentioned.

Yet, this Fifth Grade seems a bit complicated.

It needs five threads of Source Blood.

Li Yuan sighed softly, saying: "Even if I can’t reach it, hearing Senior talk about the landscapes here is also a great pleasure in life."

This style of talking seemed to suit Gu Xuejian’s taste.

She surprisingly poured Li Yuan a cup from a wine jar, then clinked with him, and after downing over half the jar, she laughed heartily and said: "Delightful!"

Then she said: "To produce a thread of Source Blood is to step into the Fifth Grade.

Entering the Fifth Grade, with Source Blood circling the heart, one can resist the forces from the earth and thus fly at will.

A Weapon Forger forges Spiritual Artifacts and uses Blood Crystal to produce a soul; how is this soul born? With the Fifth Grade’s Source Blood.

Because within Source Blood not only lies power, but also your understanding of life, your personality, your character, your everything...

Therefore, the Spiritual Artifact forged in this way is like your divided flesh, connected to your bloodline, naturally under your control."

"Come, have a drink."

She raised her jar, clinked it with Li Yuan, drank it in one gulp, and then said: "After three threads, the heart begins Ancestral Transformation, at this time... Shadow Blood will undergo a significant change.

Previously, you needed to draw the Ancestral Talisman for effect, but now, each drop of your blood equates to containing the power of the Ancestral Talisman.

At this stage, even if you’re chopped into eighteen pieces, as long as your heart remains, you won’t die. And the heart after Ancestral Transformation is very hard to destroy..."

Li Yuan listened with curiosity.

To be honest, he was a bit confused.

He, lacking an Ancestral Talisman, seemed to have a somewhat different process.

Gu Xuejian continued: "After five threads, plus tempering, the heart can completely undergo Ancestral Transformation, but this is only the beginning. I’m just at this beginning... but just short of half a step..."

With this, Li Yuan roughly gauged the level. 𝚏𝐫𝚎𝗲𝕨𝐞𝐛𝕟𝚘𝐯𝚎𝗹.𝕔𝐨𝗺

Elder Zhu of the Holy Fire Palace, Zhu Nuyang, should be a Fifth Grade with three threads of Source Blood, while this one had reached Great Perfection.

Moreover, this one’s Spiritual Artifacts and methods are likely much more formidable than Zhu Nuyang, otherwise, the gap wouldn’t be so vast.

As they chatted, Li Yuan sensibly departed, subsequently offering various pieces of information.

...

Receiving news that the Red Lotus Thieves had caused a major commotion, Gu Xuejian took action, dressed in white, she left with a sword, only to return after half a month.

Upon returning, she didn’t appear happy but rather more worried.

Li Yuan probed to ask, but she didn’t say anything.

Li Yuan himself went to inquire but found no news, only rumors that a forest outside a county in Jiangbei Prefecture had suddenly rotted, and in several places, it was said that they had heard lanterns screaming...

Aside from this, various pieces of information were mixed together.
