On the boundless wilderness, a wide road stretched endlessly, curving and winding like a giant python, lying prostrate on the barren ground.
A silver-white car sped along the road.
Meng Yan sat inside the car, holding a withered yellow parchment manuscript in his hand.
The parchment manuscript was covered with characters that resembled tadpoles, their eerie, pale green color making anyone who looked at them feel dizzy.
This was a new parchment manuscript that John had obtained from Ms. Mary, thanks to his unique charisma.
According to John, before Viscountess Catherine became a Bloodline, she was the daughter of a human Demon Magician.
Therefore, her castle contained countless similar parchment manuscripts.
Ms. Mary had secretly given John twelve parchment manuscripts, which allowed Meng Yan to summon two spirit demons.
Meng Yan destroyed nine of the parchment manuscripts.
The remaining three parchment manuscripts were stored in the castle by Meng Yan, temporarily sealed.
The parchment manuscript in his hand now was probably the last one Ms. Mary could give to John.
If she took any more, and Viscountess Catherine discovered anything amiss, even if Ms. Mary had served Viscountess Catherine for hundreds of years, she might still face severe punishment.
Or perhaps, Viscountess Catherine had already found out but simply didn't care.
However, everything must have a limit, and Ms. Mary dared not recklessly deplete Viscountess Catherine's favor towards her.
Meng Yan caressed the parchment manuscript in his hand.
The tadpole-like, pale green characters on it were indeed Demonic Script.
He had spent some time before, using the memory images of the two spirit demons, to fully master this language.
What was recorded on it was neither the content of a demon summoning ritual nor a method of cultivating some demonic spell.
This was a complete inheritance of a human Demon Magician.
On this small parchment manuscript, the cultivation content for a Demon Magician from the first to the fourth rank was recorded.
It covered Spiritual Power cultivation methods, demonic spell cultivation techniques, flesh sacrifice methods, and methods for signing contracts with demons, and so on.
If a human who understood Demonic Script obtained this manuscript and cultivated according to its contents, as long as their talent was sufficient, they would very likely become a fourth-rank Demon Magician.
A fourth-rank existence was equivalent to a Marquis of the Blood Clan or a Greater Demon.
Such a precious manuscript was easily taken out of Viscountess Catherine's castle by Ms. Mary and given to John.
Could Viscountess Catherine be behind this?
If so, what was her purpose?
Meng Yan's eyes showed a hint of contemplation.
He shook his head and put the manuscript away.
If he couldn't figure it out, he wouldn't bother with it.
He basically had no use for the contents of this manuscript.
Bloodline could not cultivate demonic spells.
However, the Spiritual Power cultivation methods on it could be cultivated by the Bloodline.
If Meng Yan were an ordinary Bloodline, he wouldn't mind cultivating it, as it was a rare Spiritual Power cultivation method that could grow to the fourth rank.
But his soul had already merged with the Godhead, so ordinary Spiritual Power cultivation methods were useless to him.
Oh... that's right! There's also John!
Meng Yan's eyes suddenly lit up.
He couldn't cultivate the Spiritual Power methods on it, but John could.
Thinking of this, he took out several sheets of A4 paper from the car's compartment.
He ran his hand over the paper.
Blood Energy surged out.
Spiritual Power precisely controlled the Blood Energy, causing it to form threads that moved across the A4 paper, leaving behind characters of the White Eagle Federation and various strange visualization diagrams.
In the end, he "wrote" a total of eight full A4 pages, clearly recording the Spiritual Power cultivation method from the parchment manuscript.
"John, these are for you."
Meng Yan placed the A4 papers next to John, then said to John, who was focused on driving:
"This is the Spiritual Power cultivation method from that parchment manuscript; it can raise Spiritual Power to the Marquis level at its highest.
If you are willing, you can try to cultivate it."
The Blood Core energy level of the Bloodline is constrained by strength.
Spiritual Power intensity depends on the soul, and the soul is strengthened through Blood Energy baptism.
Generally speaking, whatever level the Blood Core energy is at, the Spiritual Power will be at that same level.
However, if one possesses a good Spiritual Power cultivation method, there is a chance to raise one's Spiritual Power beyond the Blood Energy level.
It's just that in the transcendent world, Spiritual Power cultivation methods are extremely precious and rare, and ordinary Bloodline simply have no chance of obtaining them.
John scanned the A4 papers with his Spiritual Power and naturally understood the preciousness of this Spiritual Power cultivation method.
He said somewhat strangely:
"Viscountess Catherine should attach great importance to a parchment manuscript containing such a precious Spiritual Power cultivation method.
How could Ms. Mary have taken it out of the castle so easily?"
Meng Yan shook his head; this was also something he couldn't figure out.
"Could there be something wrong with this Spiritual Power cultivation method, and Viscountess Catherine deliberately used Ms. Mary's hand to give it to you?
Perhaps some ill intent is hidden within it."
John said with some concern.
Meng Yan smiled and said:
"That possibility does exist.
However, this method of cultivating Spiritual Power is useless to me, and I don't intend to cultivate it.
But if you cultivate it, and if any bad effects arise, as my Bloodline, I can try to help you resolve them.
Of course, if you don't want to cultivate it, I won't force you.
This is entirely up to you."
Meng Yan asking John to cultivate that Spiritual Power cultivation method, besides wanting John to become stronger, also had the intention of having him test the method.
This way, even if Viscountess Catherine had some scheme, it wouldn't threaten Meng Yan.
And Meng Yan could try to ascertain Viscountess Catherine's purpose through John's cultivation.
However, as Meng Yan said, if John didn't want to cultivate, he wouldn't force him.
Nor would he be displeased.
It was just a casual move.
John thought for a while, and after some time, he replied:
"Then I will try to cultivate it."
Meng Yan looked at John, shook his head, and emphasized again:
"What I said before had no other meaning.
To cultivate or not, is entirely up to you.
Cultivating it can grant you a powerful Spiritual Power cultivation method, but it also carries some unknown risks.
If you are worried about the risks and unwilling to cultivate, I will not be displeased.
You don't need to feel burdened by this."
This was indeed what Meng Yan thought.
What if he couldn't figure out Viscountess Catherine's purpose?
His growth rate was astonishing, and he had the Godhead within him.
As long as he proceeded steadily, he could gradually increase his strength.
Once he possessed great strength, he would naturally fear no plots or schemes.
Even if John feared the risks and was unwilling to cultivate, it wouldn't matter.
John was stunned, understanding Meng Yan's meaning.
It seemed that his Viscount was truly not very concerned about whether he cultivated this Spiritual Power method.
After a moment, John firmly replied:
"Viscount, I have decided. I choose to cultivate this Spiritual Power cultivation method."
To be able to cultivate such a precious method, what if it meant taking some risks?
Meng Yan smiled, seeing that this was John's choice made from his heart.
In that case, it would be a good opportunity to observe whether Viscountess Catherine had any special intentions hidden within John's upcoming Spiritual Power cultivation.
