Well then, let's see if I can live up to Raven's standards. I thought with a smirk. If Raven can combine lightning and ice magic let's see if I can merge blood and holy magic.
First I'll have to max out my magic though, sigh. Ok, blood magic is my highest leveled magic so let's get that out of the way. I'm not sure if blood magic is frowned upon in the world so I guess I shouldn't practice near the city. Turning around I walked away from the main road, heading back into the forest. Using my blood sense skill I reached out into the forest, detecting every animal presence that appeared before me.
It was beautiful, I could see every heartbeat of every creature near me. On instinct, I let out my aura of life. As my aura spread out the grass beneath my feet turned emerald green and the trees around me seemed to suck in my very essence. The animals around me came closer, it was wonderful. Unfortunately, the trusting animals had walked into a slaughterhouse. I looked at the animals surrounding me, oddly there seemed to be two of each. There were Two-Tailed Foxes, Horned Rabbits, Emerald Grasshoppers, Swamp snakes, and many more. It seems that my aura makes them think they will bear offspring if near me. How dreadfully wrong they are.
I had to act fast so as not to spook them. Reaching out with my senses, I located every beating heart of every animal. If you were outside the forest you would have heard screams and roars of animals for an instant before silence ruled the forest once more. Now, all around me, lay corpses of different animals.

The screens kept popping up, I ignored them. Flicking my fingers upwards, their blood left the bodies. The sky turned red as a stream of blood floated above me. Usually, I would drink it all but I wanted to master my blood magic. A genius thought entered my brain, if I can create a blood pearl in my dantin why can't I create one outside of it? Following my cultivation manual, I condensed the blood around me. I needed to purify the impurities of this pearl as it was forming so I sliced my hand open, pushing some of my blood into the forming blood pearl. My blood contains phoenix fire, so in theory, it should work. Slowly but surely a pearl started to form out of the river of blood. My blood seemed to be doing its job, as black impurities were dropping to the ground while the pearl was forming. Three hours later a glistening red and white pearl floated before me.
Congratulations! Pearl of Rebirth was created. Information: A Pearl of Rebirth allows one to be reborn wherever their pearl is if they are killed. The Pearl of Rebirth must be contained in a living host or it will slowly degrade.|
Notice: Nanites will be infused into the Rebirth Pearl, all memories will be transferred over to the Pearl every time you go to sleep. Please find a host to place your Pearl of Rebirth.
Congratulations! Blood Magic Mastered|
Well, I didn't go as overboard as Raven, I'm a little disappointed. Not that having an extra life isn't extraordinarily awesome. Now I just need to find a host for the pearl. "Alex does the host have to be a person?"
Notice: The host can be any living organism.|
Good to know. I started to walk deeper into the forest until I reached a lake. "Alex, show me the shop please." A window appeared before me, there truly was a shit ton of items to choose from. Even more so now that Alex had been upgraded to a Class 8 system. Going to the agriculture section I looked for something that would fit my needs. After 20 minutes I finally found it.
Tree of purification sapling. Information: Wherever this sapling is planted it will purify its surroundings creating a perfect ecosystem. If there is a stream or lake, the water will be purified to be fresh and drinkable. Animals that are near it will become healthy and tinder for a nice juicy meal. Cost 5,000 Gold|

"Yes"
A small sapling with blue leaves appeared in my hands. It was expensive but worth it, especially for what I was planning on doing. Using blood control I made myself float to the center of the lake. Once I was at the very center of the lake I held my breath before diving to the bottom of the lake. Digging a hole I placed the sapling. Now came the tricky part. Opening my inventory I grabbed the Pearl of Rebirth and pushed it into the sapling.
Notice: Tree of Purification has bonded with the Pearl of Rebirth.|
The sapling looked beautiful, it was once white-barked with blue leaves. Now, however, it had silver bark with purple leaves. I needed to make it stronger, after all, it was a second me. My aura of life is supposed to make things prosper.
Aura of life activated.|
It was as if time was moving 500% faster. The tree started to grow, taller and taller, its roots spreading throughout the lake bed. Leaping off the lake bed I breached the surface in time to see it pierce the surface as well.
Aura of life deactivated|
It looked as if it was a small sapling just floating at the top of the lake. In reality, though, it was a 20ft tree and its roots penetrated throughout the lake, sneaking into river banks to the south and even piercing some other tree roots.
Congratulations on creating a new race, +10,000 Exp|
Blood Purification Tree|
Class: Prince|
Level 26|
HP 50,000/50,000|
The Blood Purification tree contains a Pearl of Rebirth. It will suck up the blood of the dead to further refine its Pearl. The tree will create a symbiotic relationship with the ecosystem. All blood spilled on the roots, branches, and leaves will be transferred to the tree. The tree will then purify the plants around it creating a healthier environment for it. It will continue to grow. The more blood it absorbs, helping the pearl and helping itself|
Note: GODDAMMIT VICTORIA!!|
I take back what I said about being lesser than Raven. I just created a self-sustained bio chamber that will evolve without a supervisor. I should create more of these all over the empire. One for Raven when she wakes up as well. What else can I do to make this tree more badass? It already has nanites so even if it is attacked it will regenerate quite fast. Let's see what else is in the store. For the rest of the night, I looked through the store until I found something perfect.
Spore Gene splice. Information: This will allow you to transform a plant or tree that normally does not produce spores to produce spores. Cost 2,000 Gold|
"Alex if I put this on my tree will it create more Pearls or just more Blood Purification Trees, or both?"
Analyzing, Analyzing, Analyzing|
Notice: Since the Blood Pearl is a part of the Blood Purification Tree it will create more of both. However, the spores will be very weak when they are spread.|
Note: I hate you.|
I think if I grinned anymore my face would split.
Notice: Would you like to apply Spore Gene splice to specimen Blood Purification Tree?|
"Yes"
The tree began to blur for a few minutes before calming down. Now small silver acorns were hanging from the branches.
Blood Purification Acorn|
Class Rare|
Level 5|
HP 5,000/5,000|
Information: The Blood Purification Acorn will detach from the tree in winter. These acorns will adapt to any climate. As long as there is blood nearby it will be able to grow and feed the Rebirth Pearl within it.|
Satisfied with my creation I walked away, now I had to study my flame and holy magic.
