"Of course, after all there is no such thing as free lunch in this world." Zhou Xinqiu's Voice boomed out and a strand of Beauty and Confidence could be seen on her face.
This Blood - Hammer infusion was naturally the second 'test' one needed to take in order to command the Heavenly Blood Hammer. The First test had naturally been successfully passed by her when she was able to endure the attacks of the hammer.
"Alright then get ready, since you seem so confident, lets see if your talent matches your big words." Qin Gong sent out some hand seals into Zhou Xinqiu's body and she abruptly coughed out blood, but before it reached the ground Qin Gong controlled the blood and sent it into the Heavenly Blood Hammer. "Hmm, what pure blood" He stared at her blood which revolved around the hammer and and slight humming could be heard from the hammer and the blood was also emitting a slight glow. "Huh? No way? Could It really be??" Qin Gong thought in his head while the Blood started to resist and began radiating a life like qi and manifested into a halo which revolved around the extremely confused Zhou Xinqiu and an enormous Black-Red Dragon illusion materialized behind her for a few seconds before slowly dissipating.
"Eh? What is wrong" Zhou Xinqiu was confused to the peak. Wasn't this just some normal blood? Why was it reacting so weirdly?
"This... There can't be a mistake... She must be.. a Demon" Qin Gong who was clearly not interested before had his eyes glued onto Zhou Xinqiu's figure at this moment. The Blood began spiraling up into the sky and finally obediently shot into the Heavenly Blood Hammer. The Hammer suddenly became 10 times brighter and began leaking blood qi and even someone a mile away could feel the blood qi saturation in the air. "This girl.. really is full of surprises, not only is she a demon, but she is one with an extremely pure royal bloodline. However, It looks like her sect doesn't wish to tell her this right now, I shouldn't interfere with the matters of the lowly people. Anyway it looks like its almost time for her bloodline to awaken and nothing can stop it. What the future holds for this girl will really be entertaining and unpredictable. Looks like even I can only be a bystander in this hahaha." Qin Gong was contemplating his thoughts in his head when suddenly the hammer flew out from the sky into Zhou Xinqiu's arms and she gripped it tightly.
"HAHA Looks like I succeeded, maybe uncle is right my talent is pretty high" Zhou Xinqiu laughed out and boasted out at Qin Gong while holding the Heavenly blood hammer with two hands.
"Little girl, you truly have no idea" Qin Gong ruffled her hair and turned into an illusory beam of light and shot back into her core.
"Eh? What don't I know?" Zhou Xinqiu curiously asked.
"Nothing, Nothing, But you should look at that stupid hammer of yours now. Since you control it, naturally you must learn its soul technique in the future." The ancient voice which belonged to Qin Gong rang out from her body.
"Soul Technique? what's this?" Zhou Xinqiu tried to look at the hammer for any inscriptions of techniques but what clueless to find anything.
"Your little hammer is considered to be a Soul Weapon, at its peak it can release an attack at the level of a soul transformation realm expert-"
"Soul transformation? Im confused" Zhou Xinqiu interrupted with an extremely hilarious confused expression.
"Let me finish, The soul transformation realm is the realm after one establishes and develops their Qifu palace. Of course your mere cultivation won't allow you to learn a technique which is at the soul transformation realm however when you reach Qi Circulation you might be able to learn the essence of the technique at least."
"Ahh... So this hammer can defeat anyone under soul wandering then.. very powerful" Zhou xinqiu looked at the hammer while admiring it.
"yes, but of course not with your puny strength. one must be at least at the peak of Qifu to use only 75% of the strength of the Heavenly blood hammer. So its not like any random person can use it to kill anyone under the Soul transformation realm. However, you must not reveal the identity of this Heavenly blood hammer as a soul weapon to anyone as their greed for it might get you into great danger." Qin Gong explained in a warm tone before continuing. "I can sense your uncle nearing, good luck on your cultivation little lass. As you have passed the tests I will not bother your training any longer."
"Hm" The hammer turned illusory as well and returned into her body as she sat down in a crossed legged position and continued comprehending the Nine Sword dance art.

"Sir, the Golden Pupil faction and the Black Jade faction have allied themselves along with some of the tiny factions publicly in order to 'warn us to not be too overbearing' any longer."
Zhou He stood up when he heard this messengers words. "Hahahaha, overbearing!, was I overbearing when I took them into this sect when they were poor idiots who didn't know how to cultivate!?" He turned around as a mad laughter spread out from his mouth. "No matter, It is my fault that I let them have too much freedom, and therefore I will deal with it myself. They surely won't have the guts to attack now that the Youth ceremony is right around the corner. So, afterwards when they attack we will definitely show them who is the ruler of this sect and strip them of their titles as elders. No worries" Although he sounded confident in his words, Zhou he knew that a calamity was about to descend onto the Zhou sect and if he wasn't careful, he might really be overthrown.
"Hmm, I wonder how that crazy brother of mine is handling Qiu'er's training. How great would it be if she could get a good ranking in this year's youth ceremony and maybe if it is high enough, even if not in the top 5, I might be able to get some of the elders to agree with me to let her in the Bronze Circulation pool." Zhou He's angry face was replaced with a warm smile as he thought of that little girl that brought all the happiness in his life and drove all the sorrows and stress away.

"Aiya you comprehended enough, Xinqiu, Uncle is back, and now its time we do some real training." A proud smirk appeared on Zhou Ye's voice as a massive tree behind him was immediately sliced into hundreds of log chunks. "I will ruthlessly shoot these logs at you continuously and you must use nothing but the sword qi produced from the Nine sword dance art to break them and your clothes must also remain dry." A Ginormous waterfall suddenly appeared behind Zhou xinqiu and she was now standing on top of a 1 foot log platform in the middle of a lake. "Now that your cultivation has broken through, we must get even more serious. You must reach the 7th Stance of the Nine Sword dance art within 2 days or else you will be sent to the Qi Splitting torture chamber."
"Hahahaha, Im starting to like this uncle of yours" Qin Gong's voice rang out in the back of her mind.
"EH?!?!?!?! YOU ARE CRAZY!"
