Protect Our Clan Leader

Chapter 1681: Chapter 120: Bloodline Advancement! Rich Mengyu’s Great Opportunity

…

With an edict from Immortal Emperor Muyun, a massive upheaval surged through Chuanan State.

In just half a month, many City Lords and County Lords across Chuanan State fell from power. Among the governors of the seven prefectures, three were immediately detained, while the other four were retained and monitored.

As for the Prefect, Yan Wu You, he was placed under house arrest in the State House by the emperor’s trusted aide.

His fate was likely to be demotion and exile to a foreign battleground to redeem himself.

Meanwhile, the orchestrator of this storm had already arrived at the hidden ruins located in the southern sea of Chuanan State.

Under the vast sky, four figures were floating above the sea.

The two adults and two children were enveloped in a blue glow, resembling a gigantic sphere of light, prominently situated between the sea and sky.

The figures within this sphere of light were naturally Wang Fugui, Yun Mengyu, and their protectors, Aunt Rong and Jiang Qinglian.

Aunt Rong, who possessed a rare wind attribute bloodline, used her divine power to envelop the two adults and two children in mid-air.

The thick sea fog blanketed the surrounding waters like heavy clouds. Beyond a certain distance, sight was completely obscured, but with Aunt Rong’s formidable strength and strong divine sense, there was no need to worry about danger.

This sea area they found themselves in was far from the shoreline. It was perpetually shrouded in mist, with a complex magnetic field, making it a forbidden zone for oceanic fishermen and trade fleets.

Of course, this was the apparent reason. In reality, it was because Immortal Emperor Shengwei had once laid down a formation here to cover up dark history. But over time, as it went unmaintained, the formation had gradually begun to show flaws.

“Little Princess, this is a classic formation from the Imperial Household’s legacy, the Covering Sky and Sun Formation. This formation has many wonderful uses; the Little Princess could learn more about it in the future.” Aunt Rong, accompanying them, instantly spotted the peculiarities of this formation. “Breaking it would take quite some effort, but entering it is not difficult.”

“Then I shall trouble Aunt Rong to lead us in.” Yun Mengyu was respectful and courteous towards Aunt Rong.

“I obey your command, young one.”

Aunt Rong waved her sleeve, enveloping Yun Mengyu and Wang Fugui to breach the formation’s gap and enter the array.

As for Jiang Qinglian’s tribute, she was naturally left outside to keep watch.

Beneath the cover of the formation lay a hot volcanic landscape. Countless lava pools could be seen with bubbling hot magma, and the air was filled with the scent of sulfur.

“Green Pouch, is this the place?” Wang Fugui released his belly band.

It floated around, taking a deep breath, and exclaimed excitedly, “Yes, this is it! Such a nostalgic scene and smell~ so familiar.”

This place was where the belly band awakened, so it felt naturally familiar.

“Come, let your Grandpa Pouch lead you to find the Immortal Spring.”

Green Pouch floated ahead, its two drawstrings fluttering like wings.

The scene was incredibly awkward, making Wang Fugui wish he could clip off those strings. Without them, it could at least pretend to be a kite sprouting spirits.

Following the green pouch over several lava pools, the two, along with the pouch, finally found the Immortal Spring in a hidden underground cave.

The Immortal Spring pool wasn’t large, only about four or five square meters in size.

Wang Fugui used his God Sense to probe, discovering it was just about two meters deep at the most.

The Immortal Spring that had been bathed thousands of years ago had long been taken by Immortal Emperor Shengwei. The current Immortal Spring was what had accumulated drop by drop over these millennia.

The spring water was milky white, with a layer of mist swirling on top, making it look quite drinkable.

“Don’t drink it,” Green Pouch warned, “Sister Nishuang once did an experiment defying common sense and found out that this not only tastes extremely bad with a strong sulfur flavor, but also induces vomiting and other side effects. It was after consulting ancient texts that it was discovered this type of Immortal Spring, unlike Heaven and Earth Treasures like Stone Marrow, contains a lot of impurities despite having a lot of energy, making it unsuitable for direct consumption. It’s better suited for bathing, allowing the skin to slowly absorb and digest it.”

“Are there any other taboos?” Wang Fugui cautiously asked.

“You asked the right pouch,” Green Pouch proudly replied, “Sister Nishuang, at the time already the world’s best Sky Pride with a bloodline awakening level at the eighth level, absorbed all the Heavenly Earth Essence from the Immortal Spring and found that its enhancement to the bloodline was weak, mostly having cosmetic effects.”

“However, Sister Nishuang once deduced that this pool of Immortal Spring is roughly equivalent in bloodline enhancement to two Eighth Grade Reborn Immortal Pills.”

“Reborn Immortal Pill?” Wang Fugui and Yun Mengyu exchanged glances, both somewhat dissatisfied with Green Pouch, “Why didn’t you mention it earlier? Though the Reborn Immortal Pill is a very rare treasure, to us it’s quite useless.”

Their cultivation levels were low, but their bloodline awakening levels were very high, which created a rather awkward situation.

Low-level medicine or other Heaven and Earth Treasures for enhancing bloodline talent had very weak effects on them. But advanced pills, like the Eighth Grade Reborn Immortal Pill or the Rank 9 Boundless Dao Pill, were far beyond their current cultivation base and physical ability to endure.

Yet if they waited until they could endure it to use it, their bloodline awakening level would already be too high, and the effect would be mediocre and quite limited.
