Chapter 251: The Primordial Blood Heart! Rebirth!
Xiao Ze led Qing Lin back to the underground space for the third time. The place was still dark, with only a few stones emitting a faint reddish glow.
"Qing Lin, it's up to you."
Qing Lin nodded and went to the center of the underground space, making seals with her hands. A faint green glow appeared in her eyes, and the mark of the Ancient Heavenly Snake on her forehead emitted a dark red light.
Besides the mental power of the Three Flower Snake Eyes, a fierce aura of the Ancient Heavenly Snake emerged from Qing Lin. A huge dark red Ancient Heavenly Snake appeared, covering her figure.
Xiao Ze narrowed his eyes, noticing that it seemed to be the soul of the Ancient Heavenly Snake. Under Qing Lin's control, the different heads of the snake lunged toward various points.
One of the heads went directly toward Xiao Ze, opening its jaws to bite the ground. After a dazzling flash of dark red light, a huge seal appeared before Xiao Ze, connected by the Ancient Heavenly Snake, emanating strong sealing power.
"It seems this is a sealing technique created by the Ancient Heavenly Snake. If others don't have this method, it would be very difficult to find a substitute."
With a crack, the seal broke.
Boom!
A dense and penetrating blood energy immediately filled the underground space. Perhaps due to being sealed for so long, upon breaking the seal, the Millennium Primordial Blood Crystal released even more intense blood energy than when the Ancient Heavenly Snake self-destructed.
The blood energy produced by the snake's self-destruction had strong corrosive power. On contact, it decomposed flesh and bones. However, the blood energy of the Millennium Primordial Blood Crystal had a slight fragrance, which, when inhaled, rejuvenated and activated internal combat energy.
Xiao Ze used his illusion field to contain the blood energy and prevent it from leaking out, attracting other beasts.
Shortly after, Qing Lin withdrew the soul of the Ancient Heavenly Snake and approached Xiao Ze.
"Xiao Ze, the Millennium Primordial Blood Crystal is below. It's no wonder even the Ancient Heavenly Snake coveted it. The blood energy it emits makes my body feel warm just by smelling it."
Qing Lin's face was flushed, clearly affected by the blood energy, while trying to cool her face with her hands.
Xiao Ze laughed seeing her like this. With his physique, absorbing this blood energy wasn't a problem, but Qing Lin, with a weaker physique, couldn't help but feel overwhelmed.
Qing Lin knew this blood energy was beneficial for her body, so she didn't use her combat energy to block it. In a short time, she was sweating from the internal heat.
Taking advantage of the moment, Xiao Ze carefully cut the rock layer covering the Millennium Primordial Blood Crystal. Thanks to his keen soul perception, he could handle it without damaging the crystal.
When removing the last layer of rock, an intense red light illuminated their faces. The translucent and radiant Millennium Primordial Blood Crystal appeared before them, looking like the most perfect creation of nature.
Qing Lin was amazed by the crystal's beauty.
"Xiao Ze, has it always been this beautiful?"
"Yes, the ancient records specifically mention the beauty of the Millennium Primordial Blood Crystal."
The crystal's beauty was impressive, but its presence had exhausted all the surrounding land's energy. The Millennium Primordial Blood Crystal dominates the energy in its environment, making it difficult for other valuable herbs or minerals to exist nearby.
Xiao Ze extended his hand, letting drops of his blood accumulate in his palm.
"Xiao Ze, what are you doing?"
"The Millennium Primordial Blood Crystal is very sensitive and easily contaminated. Using tools or hands to handle it can ruin it. The best way to handle it is with fresh blood."
With the power of his soul, Xiao Ze carefully separated the true Millennium Primordial Blood Crystal from the rest of the rock. While doing so, he found something unexpected and showed visible excitement.
"A Blood Heart has been born!"
Seeing Qing Lin's confusion, Xiao Ze explained:
"The Blood Heart can form inside the Millennium Primordial Blood Crystal. Unlike the crystal, which is more suitable for magical beasts, the Blood Heart is extremely beneficial for humans. It has the power to transform a person, turning an ordinary individual into a genius. For someone who consumes it, cultivation will be as easy as eating or drinking."
Qing Lin looked amazed at the heart-shaped crystal Xiao Ze held.
"What incredible power!"
Xiao Ze carefully sealed the Blood Heart in his blood, thinking of giving it to Xun Er in the future. Consuming it directly was already powerful, but if he turned it into a medicinal pill, its effect would be even greater, providing an even more powerful benefit.
After securing both the Blood Heart and the Millennium Primordial Blood Crystal, Xiao Ze looked at the remaining part of the crystal, a valuable byproduct containing enough energy to help him advance in his cultivation.
After collecting everything, he observed the empty space around him, reflecting on the luck he had in finding these treasures.
"The Ancient Heavenly Snake had a great opportunity, but it didn't seize it. In the end, all this was a stroke of luck for me."
