True Martial World - Chapter 1421

Chapter 1421

At that moment, there was an elder of indeterminate age inside a Nanxuan family clan chamber . He was focusing on refining a weapon .

The elder was the Nanxuan family clan's patriarch—Nanxuan Jue . Although the Nanxuan family clan was powerful, it was not a family clan with deep heritage . It was established by Nanxuan Jue alone .

He was a famous artifact refinement master known throughout the Scarlet Yang continent . The divine weapons he forged were extremely high in quality . Many warriors were willing to pay tremendous amounts of money for his weapons, but were often rejected .

At that moment, a masked elder came to the outside of the chamber . After a moment's hesitation, he passed through the restrictive barrier . If this were an ordinary day, he would absolutely not disturb Nanxuan Jue while he was refining an artifact . But today's situation was unique…

Nanxuan Jue frowned slightly when he sensed the sudden intruder . He turned his head and realized it was the Nanxuan family clan's head steward, Lian Yong .

Lian Yong's entire family had once been saved by Nanxuan Jue many years ago . Due to that, he gave his loyal aid to Nanxuan Jue in establishing the Nanxuan family clan . Nanxuan Jue absolutely trusted Lian Yong . Although Lian Yong had the title of steward, Nanxuan Jue treated him more like a brother . He knew that Lian Yong would not disturb him unless it was something important .

"Brother Lian, is there something wrong?" asked Nanxuan Jue .

Lian Yong instantly sent a voice transmission, rapidly explaining the encounter with Yi Yun . Nanxuan Jue felt a jolt once he heard the story . "What did you say? Luoyue fused with a drop of blood given to her by an unknown stranger? And she's currently refining it in seclusion?"

"Yes, I have already tried persuading her to no avail . It baffles me why she would trust that person so much . "

Nanxuan Jue knitted his brows . He no longer cared about the quality of the artifact he was refining as he stopped the refinement array and walked out the chamber .

Nanxuan Luoyue built a large family clan from nothing . He had offended countless people over the years . If there was someone bent on seeking revenge, it was very likely for them to do it using Nanxuan Luoyue . Lian Yong would usually protect her which allowed him to take his mind off her . However, there was nothing Lian Yong could do if Nanxuan Luoyue acted adamantly .

To the Nanxuan family clan, Nanxuan Luoyue was a beloved daughter . Nanxuan Jue once had a rather accomplished son but he unfortunately perished . He left behind Nanxuan Luoyue, his only daughter . As for Nanxuan Luoyue's mother, Nanxuan Jue had never even seen her .

To Nanxuan Jue's pleasant surprise, Nanxuan Luoyue's talent far exceeded her father's . Therefore, the inheritance of the Nanxuan family clan landed almost squarely on Nanxuan Luoyue . They could not afford for anything to happen to her .

Nanxuan Jue took big strides towards Nanxuan Luoyue's residence and noticed his wife and Nanxuan Luoyue's maidservant waiting outside nervously . Neither of them had disturbed Nanxuan Luoyue .

"How long has it been?" Nanxuan Jue asked . Without waiting for the maidservant's reply, he probed with his perception through the door and looked inside the room .

He saw Nanxuan Luoyue sitting on a bed . Her skin suffused a pale redness as hot gases spewed from her pores . It felt as though the flames of vitality in Nanxuan Luoyue had been alighted .

Hot gases billowed into the air and faintly formed the phantom of a swimming dragon .

Nanxuan Jue was alarmed . This is…

His expression was one of bewilderment . Although he was an artifact refinement master, he did not know much about pills or the human body . He only felt as though a ferocious beast had awakened in Nanxuan Luoyue's body .

But this feeling was fleeting . Moments later, Nanxuan Luoyue stabilized and the dragon phantom dissipated .

Nanxuan Luoyue opened her eyes and breathed out a mouthful of foul air . It was as though her very life had experienced a metamorphic change . But he was unable to determine what it was despite observing her carefully .

"Yue'er!"

Nanxuan Jue pushed open the door and in response, Nanxuan Luoyue turned her head . Her forehead was covered in sweat but she had a faint smile . Her mood seemed buoyant and the lifeblood in her seemed to burn vigorously like a fiery cauldron .

"Yue'er, how do you feel?" Nanxuan Jue asked with concern .

"Grandpa, I feel great . It feels just like the supreme-grade Ancient Fey bone I absorbed years ago . "

When Nanxuan Luoyue was young, Nanxuan Jue had bought an Ancient Fey spine bone the size of a face basin from an auction . It had been refined by a famous alchemist, using dozens of supreme-grade herbs for a hundred days . It was invaluable .

After Nanxuan Luoyue absorbed the Ancient Fey bone, her cultivation level increased tremendously . Of course, the Nanxuan family clan paid a sizable sum for the Ancient Fey bone . Nanxuan Jue had used one of his works that he was particularly proud of, one that he had stored away for years, as an exchange for the Ancient Fey bone .

"It's like the absorption of the supreme-grade Ancient Fey bone? There is actually such an effect?" Nanxuan Jue was stunned . How was it possible?

Nanxuan Jue had heard from Lian Yong that Nanxuan Luoyue had only received a drop of blood . It was just a tiny drop of blood, not even the size of a soybean; yet, the effects matched a supreme-grade Ancient Fey bone and dozens of natural treasures that were all refined by a famous alchemist?

Besides, if it were truly such a treasure, why would the man give it to Nanxuan Luoyue for free?

Nanxuan Jue originally believed that an enemy had attempted to harm their Nanxuan family clan's best seedling . But in the end, he had truly given her an invaluable treasure . How could something so bizarre happen?

Nanxuan Jue took a step forward and grabbed Nanxuan Luoyue's wrist . Although he did not know any medical skills, he had been practicing martial arts for years . He knew a little about the body's channels and collaterals .

When he made his probe, he sensed that Nanxuan Luoyue's aura had transformed into something different from what it was before . It felt like something had catalyzed in her body but as for what it was, he was unable to determine it at all .

Furthermore, Nanxuan Luoyue's Dao Palace had experienced a fascinating change . The Dao Palace seemed to be enveloped in a rising blood mist .

It was as though Nanxuan Luoyue's lifeblood was so powerful that it even immersed the entire Dao Palace .

This made Nanxuan Jue recall tales of warriors that tempered their bodies . The strength of those people's lifeblood was probably around this level…

This made Nanxuan Jue wonder about Nanxuan Luoyue's bloodline . Could her issue stem from her mother? What background did her mother have?

"Miss, do you feel discomfort in any way?" asked Lian Yong worriedly .

Nanxuan Luoyue shook her head . "No, I feel great . The effect feels more than a hundred times better than eating any Heart Nourishing Pills . "

"This… It's good you feel great…" Lian Yong was baffled . He was certain that the scholar he had encountered had nefarious thoughts and was likely a cheat . He had probably heard that Nanxuan Luoyue had eaten Heart Nourishing Pills for more than a decade . In response, he produced a drop of blood that did not appear precious in any way and hoped to boast about it . But who knew that it had such effects?

Lian Yong was thankful that Nanxuan Luoyue had insisted on trusting her own judgment . If not, she would have missed out on such an opportunity .

"Looks like I was being silly . I could not tell that the young man is such a capable person . He probably noticed something about your body . He couldn't have given that drop of blood to you for no reason . It must have some special property that matches your body perfectly . "

Lian Yong offered his speculations . Nanxuan Luoyue nodded . She shared the same thoughts . If there was something amiss, she would not have felt the resonance with that drop of blood .

The drop of blood felt like a catalyst that stirred changes in her body . However, it still fell short of fully stabilizing her Dao Palace . It was unknown what sort of changes her body would experience if she received another few drops of blood .

Of course, that was only Nanxuan Luoyue letting her thoughts run free . Yi Yun probably did not have that many drops of the precious blood .

She did not know how valuable the drop of blood was either . But it was obvious to her that the ten-thousand-year-old Lunar Wood Spirit was insufficient as a trade . Thinking back to how she planned on selling it to Yi Yun at the market price, she felt a little ashamed . He had already given her such a precious drop of blood but she was actually taking money from him .

"I heard that the kind sir also requires a Seven Leaf Wheel and the Luoshengzi?" said Lian Yong suddenly .

Nanxuan Luoyue nodded . "Yes, but we do not have those two herbs in our stores . That kind sir did give me such a rare opportunity . Grandpa, is it possible for you to help him find them?"

"It's only necessary . " Nanxuan Jue nodded . His family clan still had quite a good social network . It was mainly because he was an artifact refining master . Many people had requests for him . It was not difficult if he truly wanted something found . "If that person still has more drops of that blood, perhaps we can buy a few drops from him . "

"He probably doesn't have any left . " Lian Yong shook his head . "This kind of blood is a rare treasure of the world . It's likely very difficult to obtain . He must have given it to us because he was in urgent need of the herb . "

Lian Yong's words were reasonable but he had no idea that the drop of blood had been extracted from the Nine Transformations Celestial Silkworm's body . The little guy did not look large in size, but the vigor in its blood resembled that of a True Dragon . Extracting one drop of blood was a fairly trivial matter .

As they conversed, a spark lit up in front of Lian Yong's eyes . It was the light of a voice transmission talisman . Lian Yong's eyes lit up as he said, "It's that sir that gave the blood . He has come to us to buy the herb!"
