Chapter 72: Bloodline Assimilation

If there is any trouble...

It might just stem from Xiao Meng's jealousy.

Li Heng's mind stirred slightly; he knew Meng Hao was absolutely not a magnanimous person. Seeing that he had gained benefits, he reckoned the other was likely already displeased, or even furious.

It seems he must find some time to properly handle this matter.

He was lost in thought. Although Meng Hao was Meng Lingyun's adopted son, if Meng Hao dared to make a move against him, he would be just as impolite and would not show mercy.

He took the book from the old man's hands quite naturally. The book was crumpled and looked extremely unappealing. But given the old man's mysterious background, perhaps it was not simple.

"Outline of the Blood Exchange Realm"

Five plain, large characters entered his eyes. Li Heng raised his eyebrows; this name was truly ordinary enough. Could it be that it summarized the various aspects of the Blood Exchange Realm?

The name felt a bit like a textbook.

However, it was not appropriate to read it in front of so many people. He put the book away, bowed to Meng Lingyun and the old man who was neither monk nor Daoist, and intended to leave.

Watching Li Heng depart, Meng Lingyun felt a sense of emotion in his heart.

But he did not know what he was thinking or what to say. Finally, with complex emotions, he could only turn his head to look at the old man and speak, "How do you think this art of confusing the heart should be resolved..."

Taking a slight detour, he returned to his own residence.

Inside the courtyard, the breeze still brushed the willows, and the emerald branches swayed on the roof, as if sweeping away the dust on the tiles.

Li Heng felt a sense of relief; he was finally home.

Although it was only his home in this World...

Pushing open the door, Li Heng placed his things in their respective spots, took out the "Pure Yang Soul Refining Secret Technique" and the "Outline of the Blood Exchange Realm," and intended to browse through them one by one.

He would also use the Data Panel to quickly get started.

Although with Li Heng's natural talent, he could get started if he spent some time, only a fool would not use a cheat. The Data Panel's quick start just helped him accelerate the process.

In fact, it was equivalent to practicing and gaining insights himself.

The book "Outline of the Blood Exchange Realm" seemed to have been written privately. Not only was the cover damaged beyond repair, but the material of the pages inside was also very rough, like waste paper that could be bought for one or two copper coins on the street.

Li Heng was lost in thought.

Could it be that the old man, that old monk, wrote it himself? He wanted to see what someone with such a mysterious background could write that dared to claim it could forge a supreme foundation.

Next, Li Heng spent some time browsing through it. Finally, he closed the book and let out a breath of turbid air, feeling somewhat shocked in his heart; this was truly a bold hypothesis.

The Blood Exchange Realm lies in exchanging blood and washing the marrow.

It means stimulating one's own potential, combined with some external aids, such as Blood and Qi Great Medicine, Tiger Wolf Great Elixir, etc., for the body to shed old blood and transform into new blood.

Essentially, it belongs to the re-stimulation of one's own potential. Therefore, no miraculous abilities would appear. Of course, if your ancestor was some innate god or demon, that would be another matter.

How does that saying go?

Your bloodline undergoes atavism, reverting into a monkey.

Others' bloodlines undergo atavism, achieving the status of an innate god or demon.

People are just different from one another.

The human race of this World seemingly does not have any impressive ancestors. Even if the Blood Exchange Realm undergoes the transformation of blood and bone marrow, it is merely reaching the peak of a mortal in the true sense.

But this "Outline of the Blood Exchange Realm" had a sudden flash of inspiration.

It was truly "blood exchange" in the literal sense!

The book expounds that humans have times when their strength is exhausted, and their potential has limits. Therefore, one needs to borrow external forces and objects to enhance one's own potential.

For example, exchanging the blood of a strange beast into oneself to obtain an unparalleled physique. For example, exchanging the bloodline of a member of a great family into oneself to become a member of a great family and obtain various supernatural abilities.

It would be one thing if this book just had such thoughts, but the methods recorded seemed quite feasible. As Li Heng looked at them, he felt they made a lot of sense.

He could not help but feel some emotion.

If the people of the great families knew there was such a technique, would they directly hunt down the person who compiled it?

No wonder that old man said it would forge a supreme foundation.

Directly changing a mortal bloodline into a transcendent one could indeed be considered a supreme foundation. Directly leaping up to become a natural noble, no longer a so-called "mud-legged peasant"...

After his reflection, Li Heng suddenly discovered something. Although this technique was indeed profound and had some basis for feasibility, it did not seem to be something he needed too much.

He was doing just fine as a human and did not want to turn into a human-beast.

As for the bloodline of a great family?

He recalled that Great Terror who was suspected to be an ancestor of the Ye Family, lurking in an unfathomable realm. He suddenly felt that being a human was quite good, and he should not head in an unspeakable direction.

Wouldn't it be better to be a tough guy and just beat everything to a pulp?

However, this technique was not without its merits.

Because the blood exchange recorded in this technique was not like the modern medicine of Li Heng's previous life, which was purely drawing and transfusing blood. Instead, it allowed a transcendent bloodline to assimilate and influence one's own mortal bloodline, and then perform a comprehensive blood exchange.

If this step were not taken, it would easily cause bloodline Pollution, bloodline collapse, and eventually death by sudden explosion.

Once Li Heng saw this, he understood the essence of it.

Isn't this just eliminating the rejection reaction of different bloods? Well, one has to say, it is still a fantasy world.

A rejection reaction that even modern medicine cannot completely solve can be solved in a world with backward productivity...

Now, he did not look highly upon the so-called Great Blood Exchange Technique. What he had his eye on was the small technique for bloodline assimilation—using the fluctuations of transcendent things to infect and assimilate.

The transcendent bloodlines of strange beasts and the bloodlines of great families all have their own fluctuations. Therefore, one can use these fluctuations to gradually move one's own bloodline toward a transcendent direction, performing assimilation and infection.

But it is not just transcendent bloodlines that possess such fluctuations. All transcendent things in the world possess them. And Li Heng intended to use these fluctuations to improve his own bloodline.

For example, using the fluctuations emitted by transcendent things with extremely high essences, such as the Great Sun Dharma Image, to perform his own transformation. If he could make his bloodline obtain the Great Sun Divine Intent, perhaps he might obtain some high-level physique like the Great Sun Divine Body.

It was similar to what Li Heng did back in the Nurturing Essence Realm; the difference was that Original Qi is an Illusion, while blood is real. To interfere with real objects using the illusory Great Sun Divine Intent requires a technique.

And this assimilation technique was just right for him.

It was like being handed a pillow when one is sleepy.

That old man probably could not have imagined that the blood exchange method would be of no help to Li Heng, but rather that the small technique for assimilation would be of great benefit to him.

Li Heng called up his Data Panel, intending to perform an Appraisal.

If this "Outline of the Blood Exchange Realm" was truly written by that old man, perhaps he could learn the old man's name from it, and success would come without any effort at all.

【Outline of the Blood Exchange Realm: The true method of Blood Changing, capable of causing one's own bloodline to undergo a transcendent transformation; it was written by a madman named.... Flaw: This method has a certain probability of failure.】

He raised an eyebrow; this was interesting.

It was clearly meant to display a name, yet it could not be shown?
