Goblin Blood Marrow Stone?"
It was Lin Xuan's first time hearing about such a treasure, and he couldn't help but feel puzzled.
Chi Ling immediately explained, "This is a rare treasure of the earth, formed after the land absorbs the essence energy of fallen beasts over countless years. It contains a special bloodline power that can strengthen the bloodline of all living beings. A strong bloodline becomes even stronger, while weaker ones may mutate, gaining the ability to integrate the bloodlines of other species. This is a treasure that can change a beast's destiny."
For beasts, bloodline was of utmost importance. Their strength was almost entirely hidden within their blood, and their inheritance and growth also relied on it.
"So that's why Little Flame could awaken a mutant bloodline. The key reason was that while Tiger Ying was pregnant, she absorbed the energy released by this Goblin Blood Marrow Stone, which induced the mutation in Little Flame's bloodline."
Lin Xuan suddenly understood the crucial point. Otherwise, how could an ordinary Fire Python Tiger suddenly obtain a mutated bloodline?
"Roar!"
Tiger Ying growled lowly, its eyes blazing as it stared at the stone embedded in the cliff wall. The power radiating from it made its blood boil. Instinct told it that absorbing the stone's energy would bring immense benefits.
This time, Lin Xuan carefully extracted the Goblin Blood Marrow Stone in its entirety. It was about the size of a human head.
"Master, hand it to me. I can refine it into Blood Marrow Pills without wasting a trace of its power," Chi Ling requested excitedly.
Refining such a treasure would also help Chi Ling grow. The more it refined and the higher the quality, the more it benefited.
Lin Xuan nodded and placed the stone into the cauldron.
"Don't worry, you'll eat after it's refined into pills," Lin Xuan reassured Tiger Ying.
[Mission: Find a rare treasure. Reward: One bottle of Mutant Blood Pills. Mission complete. Claim reward?]
Lin Xuan asked Tiger Ying to take Qing Tan outside first, then he claimed the reward.
A flash of white light. A jade-green bottle appeared in his hand.
[Mutant Blood Pill: Contains the power to induce bloodline mutation. Consuming it grants a chance to acquire a mutated ability. The weaker the bloodline, the higher the chance. Conversely, the stronger the bloodline, the less effective it is. Mutation is risky—results can be infinitely strong or infinitely weak.]
Lin Xuan quickly understood.
This pill was unlike others—it had no grade limitation.
As the saying went: the rich rely on technology, the poor rely on mutation.
The Mutant Blood Pill gave ordinary beasts a chance to defy the heavens.
For strong beasts, however, mutation was dangerous. Their already-powerful bloodlines could reject or assimilate the new power, rendering it useless. But in weaker bloodlines, it might bring unexpected gains.
And even if one gained a mutated bloodline, that was just the beginning. To truly grow stronger, they needed to fuse with other bloodlines. Mutation only granted the ability to fuse. The final result depended on what bloodlines were absorbed.
Luckily, with Chi Ling's guidance in pill refinement, the mutation could be steered toward favorable outcomes.
"This is Tiger Ying's great fortune!"
Lin Xuan stored away the Mutant Blood Pill, his heart stirring. Perhaps, he could even build a legion of mutant beasts!
Humans could also use it, but human cultivation differed greatly. Their bloodlines weren't as strong as beasts. To mutate, they'd have to absorb beast bloodlines—risking turning into monsters, neither man nor beast.
Lin Xuan would never use it. With the system to raise his four attributes, his talent would never be weak. Why would he need bloodline mutations?
Exiting the cave, he carried Qing Tan, riding Tiger Ying down the mountain.
He collected all the corpses of the Green-Eyed Flame Lions into the cauldron, then returned to the cave.
Here, he decided to stay awhile and digest his gains.
Lin Xuan devoted himself fully to assisting Chi Ling in pill refinement.
Eight Green-Eyed Flame Lions, plus two more beasts they had hunted—everything went into the cauldron. This batch would yield a great harvest.
Half a month later—
The furnace opened. A huge yield.
Over eight hundred Grade Four Blood Pills.
More than six hundred Grade Five Blood Pills.
And most importantly, the Goblin Blood Marrow Stone was successfully refined into nine Blood Marrow Pills.
Blood Marrow Pills worked similarly to Mutant Blood Pills but were safer. Even if one failed to mutate, they would still strengthen the bloodline slightly without weakening it.
Lin Xuan gathered the four tigers and two leopards.
The Fire Python Tiger and Black Iron Panther were already Heavenly Origin Realm beasts. Upon maturity, their limit was the Heavenly Origin Realm—it was almost impossible for them to go further.
In Qingyang Town, Heavenly Origin Realm beasts were already considered top-tier.
But looking at the bigger world—Yan City, the Great Yan Dynasty, the Eastern Profound Region, the entire Tianxuan Continent…
In such a vast stage, Heavenly Origin Realm was nothing but an ant.
Lin Xuan explained the importance of bloodlines to them—only strong bloodlines could walk further.
The six beasts became fired up.
