Fallen Orchid Sect's Fate (6)
🕑 Added 2023-06-02 01:55:11 +0000 UTC--- Chapter 98 ---
Lan Rou hummed while sitting on a shiny golden rock, reciting the chant used to transfer the remaining pure Lan Clan's Bloodline to elders of the Fallen Orchid Sect.
She glanced down at the golden bowl-like container near her and closed her eyes, feeling the blood of clan members who lived in the past. It's been approximately four centuries, yet the blood is still clean and pure, brimming with redness and vitality.
Lan Guan and other elders of the Fallen Orchi Sect sat encircling Lan Rou, adjusting their breathing because receiving the Lan Clan's Bloodline is a noble duty. They are excited to support the sect from incoming doom.
"Eat the pills Ain gave to you, be grateful." Lan Rou finished her rhyme and snapped at the elders.
Lan Guan and others followed her orders immediately. They ate a bright red-colored pill and felt intense heat surging from the depth of their stomachs.
The churning sensation caused them discomfort, but they should be able to endure it. They have reached Dou Emperor and Dou Ancestor Realm, after all. This negligible discomfort is nothing.
"One last reminder." Lan Rou opened her mouth again. "The process will be "extremely." painful, and that's still an understatement because you haven't experienced the yin-yang baptism personally.
"If you couldn't bear it, you're not qualified to become the Yin Yang Orchid Clan's clansmen."
She clasped her hand and continued, "Without further ado, let's begin."
Swoosh!
Spiritual energy surged and covered the Orchid Tomb, causing several rocks to shine with dim white light.
Baek Ain watched this scenery calmly and commented, "Mental Techniques, huh?"
Everyone could see the blood inside the golden bow-like container boil slightly, releasing this pleasant floral aroma. A droplet of blood floated out one after another, gathering onto Lan Rou's palm.
After that, the blood condensed into a rotating sphere as Lan Rou launched thirty-one blood missiles toward Lan Guan and others.
It was abrupt, but Lan Guan and others quickly adapted to it.
They gritted their teeth and held themselves from screaming because of the extreme pain. Some elders are on the verge of passing out and bite their tongues instinctively, which allows them to stay conscious.
Baek Ain glanced at the Fallen Orchid Sect's Master(Lan Tianxue) and said, "I'm curious. Why didn't you do this from the beginning?"
"Fallen Orchid Sect could have developed more, no?"
Lan Tianxue laughed weakly and answered him, "I'm ashamed to answer this, but I don't know the method to baptize a clan member with an impure bloodline."
"When we got forced to run away from the clan because of the war, Lan Mingxi and I were just young girls. Our parents haven't given us anything besides some basic breathing techniques."
She sighed and recalled, "Only after reaching adulthood and hiding in the shadow do we start gathering the remaining Yin Yang Orchid Clan."
"It was hard, but we successfully built everything from an incomplete library and barely any resources. This mountain range used to be an emergency area with spirit veins connected to the main clan, and we renovated the whole area."
"If you wonder why Orchid Ancestor seem to know about this. This mountain range is "actually." owned by her father, the Yin Yang Orchid Clan's Patriarch.
"I see...You two have gone through a lot." Baek Ain responds thoughtfully.
Lan Tianxue and Lan Mingxi didn't say anything, simply smiling at Baek Ain's reply.
Lan Mingxi looked at Baek Ain with particular interest and asked, "Young Master Ain."
"May I call you that?"
"Err..." As much Baek Ain despised such a cliche young master calling, his parasites and subordinates still called him something similar daily.
He sighed inwardly and nodded, "Sure."
Lan Mingxi's curious smile grew into an excited grin as she hastily asked again, "Then, Young Master Ain. Are you perhaps A high-tiered alchemist?"
"If you are, the Fallen Orchid Sect is willing to trade for a sum of pills."
Hearing Lan Mingxi's firm question, Baek Ain blinked and chuckled in amusement. "Yes, I am." He answered casually.
"I recently improved and am about to reach 8th Tier Alchemist."
"E-Eight Tier..." Lan Tianxue and Lan Mingxi's breath hastened for a moment. Their hearts skipped a beat when listening to Baek Ain's statement.
Baek Ain shook his head and dropped another fun fact, "The pill Lan Guan and other elders consumed were 6th-tier pills called Purging Physique Refining Pill."
"It helps them adapt to the pure Lan Clan's Bloodline."
"Also, clearing all the impurities in one go. After this, they will experience a rebirth."
"..." Lan Tianxue.
"..." Lan Mingxi.
Even though they knew Baek Ain was talented, they didn't expect him to be this monstrously talented!
And He's Sixteen!
For god sake, they are struggling to survive in the forest at that age.
They still remembered the day when they couldn't find food and starved for weeks. A visible twitch appeared on the corner of Lan Tianxue and Lan Mingxi's mouths.
They gave each other meaningful looks.
'Psst, Sister Tianxue. You're thinking what I am thinking, right?'
'Obviously, we have been waiting years for this.'
'There is no other person more perfect than him.'
Baek Ain is young, talented beyond belief, and has endless potential.
On top of that, he's also incredibly handsome. His children obviously would inherit his god-like genetics.
As Fallen Orchid Sect's Master and Great Elder's gaze wandered down to Baek Ain's pants, Yafei coughed a few times to bring them back to reality.
Cough! Cough!
"Seniors, I know you had wishful thinking a moment ago, but remember not to chew more than you can swallow." A kind smile crept onto Yafei's beautiful face.
One might think that was just a calm comment.
However, that sharp glint in Yafei's blue eyes said otherwise.
It was a warning, especially for women who prey upon Yafei's man.
Even Yi Xian was surprised by this display of dominance because the Yafei she knew was a carefree yet noble lady. What's this intense pressure oozing from her body?
Yi Xian, Lan Tianxue, and Lan Mingxi had a similar thoughts.
'Scary!'
"Arrrrrrrrrrrrrghhhh!" A row of screams echoed in the Orchid Tomb.
Lan Guan and other elders screamed at the top of their lungs, crying out dark-colored blood. Fun fact, This blood is the impurity purged by Baek Ain's pills.
Lan Rou closed her eyes and observed the process of merging pure Lan Clan's Bloodline, which ended smoothly with thirty-one elders slumping on the ground with tormented expressions.
Baek Ain could see Dou Qi surging toward these elders, filling their newly improved vessels with pure energy. Some elders even broke through and gained overwhelming strength over their past selves.
Of course, some exceptions reaped more benefits.
Lan Guan broke through the 6-Star Dou Ancestor Realm in one swoop, making her cultivation nearly equal to Lan Tianxue and Lan Mingxi.
She also experienced rare body metamorphosis, causing her to appear younger. The wrinkle on her face disappeared, and her skin flushed with a healthy rose color.
"This is not the end." Lan Rou declared while tapping the shiny rock below her. "Before Han Feng and his henchmen return, I'll try to fix your dou techniques."
"According to what Lan Guan told me, you trained an incomplete version of Dou Techniques from the Lan Clan's Treasury Library. Even the force you could unleash and create is decent. That wasn't the full potential."
"I won't show mercy to you guys..." Lan Rou gently chuckled, which caused Lan Guan and the other elders to shiver.
Even Lan Tianxue and Lan Mingxi weren't exceptions as they got dragged by Lan Rou to the training ground.
Baek Ain came to a realization and mumbled, "So she was a demonic instructor even before the reincarnation..."
"That explains something."
"You two as well. I'll impart Half-Saint's essence to you." Lan Rou glanced at Yafei and Yi Xian calmly. "We don't have much time, so the amount of essence you can absorb depends on yourself."
"As for you, Ain..." She focused her gaze on the white-haired young man.
"Do the usual routine."
"Yes, Ma'am." A wry smile appeared on Baek Ain's face.
...
...
A few miles away from the Fallen Orchid Sect, Han Feng slammed his fist against a rock and muttered furiously.
"Damn it!"
"Damn it!"
"Damn it!"
"DAMN IT!"
"That brat! That Annoying Brat! I'll kill him." He screamed while basking in blue flame. "That brat, Fallen Orchid Sect, everything will get destroyed soon."
Xiao Long sighed and rubbed his beard, "That young man was a monster."
"Even under my charm technique, he could still create an afterimage and fool us."
"Qinghe, you stayed there the longest. What's your verdict on that young man's battle prowess."
Hearing the question, Li Qinghe frowned and answered, "Abnormal."
"I've fought against countless geniuses for centuries, and none could compare to him. That blade play of his is dangerous, as I even had a tough time countering it."
"This is troublesome..." Xiao Long's expression sank. Such a genius only appeared once in one million, and they encountered it.
Li Qinghe smirked and commented, "It's not like he was invincible. If Han Feng gave me the Three Transformation Pill, I'd break through to 1-Star Dou Venerate and call some old friends to assist us."
"What do you think, Han Feng? Of course, you still have to give me more in return. 40% of the Fallen Orchid Sect's treasury doesn't sound bad."
"Tch, Fine." Han Feng clicked his tongue, but he had no choice.
"But the Six Path Reincarnation Flame and that brat's life would be mine."
"Hehehe, of course." Li Qinghe laughed wickedly
