Chapter 2961: Metamorphosis (17)

Previously, for Zhao Chi, there were two uses for bloodline energy.

The first.

Direct consumption to strengthen himself.

Although Fuyao's attributes weren't exactly stunning, this Eternal Bloodline energy was absolutely no ordinary product—it was absolutely explosively powerful.

If Zhao Chi consumed a full 1 point of bloodline energy, he might briefly become a superman.

But he hadn't actually used it yet, so he didn't know if there were hidden effects, nor how strong those effects might be.

The Bloodline Enhancement skill was Zhao Chi's own skill; Fuyao didn't understand its effects, but even so, simple logic could deduce it should be extremely powerful.

But the Eternal Tree's bloodline energy took 100 years to gather a single full charge, so using it as a one-time enhancement point always felt like too much of a waste.

The second.

Fusing with a bloodline sprout.

Just now, when Zhao Chi was inside Fuyao, he also felt that extremely dense and pure energy of hers.

But considering this was the first deep contact with Fuyao, and he didn't yet fully understand her situation, Zhao Chi hadn't absorbed it just now.

Anyway, he could absorb it whenever he plugged in; there was no rush.

If Zhao Chi was willing, he could return that 5% of energy to Fuyao, let her gather a full 100%, then inject the hereditary genes in, and let her undergo bloodline fusion.

Zhao Chi didn't know whether an Eternal Bloodline could be fused.

But even if fusion were possible, at most it could only produce a bloodline sprout.

An Eternal Bloodline sprout.

Only a sprout.

To make it hatch, one would practically have to wait until the heavens grew old and the earth crumbled.

Besides, there probably wasn't another Eternal Bloodline in the world that could be fed to this sprout.

So they could only wait for the Eternal Bloodline sprout to grow slowly on its own.

It was estimated to take at least a century-level span of time.

The Eternal Bloodline might be extremely powerful—powerful enough to defy the heavens.

But Zhao Chi simply didn't have time to wait.

Like the moon in a mirror, a flower in water—visible only, yet unusable.

Right now, a single Angel Bloodline sprout was already making Zhao Chi feel like he was dying of bliss; let alone an Eternal Bloodline sprout.

He could only give up for now.

Therefore.

The only currently viable use for the Eternal Bloodline energy was to let Gu Qing advance—to advance into the royal clan.

Later, he'd have Yao Feng intensify the search for attribute jade, so that Tang Ruan and the others could also advance into the royal clan.

This counted as advancement.

And advancement in this form could absolutely bump the intensity up a notch.

This kind of boost was immediately visible, instant, and could take effect right away.

It was the most suitable option right now.

"Fuyao, besides condensing tokens of faith and letting Gu Qing and the others advance, what else can your bloodline energy do?"

Fuyao laughed and said, "It can also give you a baby."

"…Besides that?"

"Besides that, there doesn't seem to be anything else—at least I don't know of any right now. Maybe… after becoming a complete form, there could be new effects? Do you know?"

Zhao Chi pointed at his own nose: "Me? How could I possibly know… Forget it, the effects we already have are strong enough. But I want you to try this elixir."

Zhao Chi took out a Uterine-Nourishing Elixir.

"What's this?"

Fuyao took it curiously.

Zhao Chi explained, "This is a premium Uterine-Nourishing Elixir. It can increase your chances of conception by 1200%. Give it a try."

Fuyao narrowed her eyes and teased, "What~? Why would you boost my conception chances that much? If you want a baby, just give me that 5% of energy, and once I convert it I'll get pregnant with your child right now. Of course, it'll take 10 months before birth."

Zhao Chi waved his hand and said, "That's not what I meant. This 1200% conception chance can accelerate your bloodline energy condensation by 12 times—it can speed up bloodline energy generation."

"Oh, got it~ Got excited for nothing."

"…But I'm not sure if it'll work for you, or how effective it'll be. Try eating it first and see."

"Okay~"

"But this elixir has a side effect—it'll reduce lifespan by 10 days."

Fuyao burst out laughing: "What, how much?"

"It'll reduce lifespan by 10 days… pretend I never said anything."

Fuyao giggled and said, "Zhao Chi, you're sometimes really silly. Would I care about 10 days of my lifespan?"

Indeed…

But since there was a side effect, Zhao Chi just wanted to tell her in advance.

It really was unnecessary.

A 30,000-year-old Fuyao was roughly equivalent to an 18-year-old human woman.

So for Fuyao, reducing her lifespan by 10 days was equivalent to an ordinary human woman losing only about 0.06 days—roughly 8 and a half minutes of lifespan.

Indeed, not much.

Fuyao placed the Uterine-Nourishing Elixir in her mouth and swallowed it in an instant.

Soon, she also felt that warm sensation.

"Huh? This pill's not bad, my whole body feels warm, kind of like how you felt when you first came in, but definitely not as good as you~"

"Really? That's not the point — how's the effect?"

"The effect… it actually works. Bloodline energy condensation speed increased by 0.72%."

"Only 0.72%?"

Zhao Chi opened Fuyao's character interface; he could now see her status information too, and indeed the enhancement was only 0.72%.

"Take another one."

Zhao Chi handed her another one.

Fuyao didn't reach out her hand, but opened her mouth with a grin: "Feed me~"

"Fine… don't bite my finger."

"Hahaha."

Fuyao laughed and swallowed another one.

Then she said, "Mm… this time it's 1.44%. Looks like the Womb-Nourishing Pill isn't very effective on me."

Zhao Chi silently nodded as well.

A premium Womb-Nourishing Pill should theoretically boost conception rate by 1200%, yet Fuyao only got a 0.72% effect from eating one.

Although Fuyao presented herself as a woman's image, her essence was still the Eternal Tree.

In truth she was half-human, half-tree.

Her bloodline energy was, in fact, the bloodline energy of the Eternal Tree.

The Womb-Nourishing Pill's effect also decayed severely.

To make her conception rate rise by 1200%, she would need to eat roughly 1667 Womb-Nourishing Pills.
