Chapter 405: 405
The heaven and earth essence in the entire surroundings of the palace was being drawn towards the study room and pouring into Ghost Sword Lin Xuan .
Lin Xuan was conscious again, and he could feel the energy booming in his body; his dantian was refining the essence as fast as it could, and Qi was pouring through his meridians at a rapid speed .
Finally, he managed to take control of his energy, but he did not stop the influx of essence . He was eager to boost his cultivation base as much as possible, but at the same time not risk his foundations becoming too unstable .
After reaching the third layer of the Heavenly Saint rank, he finally stopped his quick advance . He had broken through to become a Heavenly Saint, and now he could feel that he was able to advance even further .
He finally understood what they meant when they said that they would remold his foundations and reignite his potential .
He had thought that it was a kind of herb that had been found in the Ascended's Realm, but now he found that it was, in fact, the blood of someone who could make this change in him .
He was having a hard time believing it, and even more so when he looked at the strength of this person .
Xue Wei was merely an Ordinary Saint, but his blood had managed to cause him, Lin Xuan, to break into the Heavenly Saint rank .
Not to mention, he could feel that his entire body was changed . While he previously felt as if he was a bottle that was full to the bursting point, he now realized that he was like an empty bottle, able to contain much more Qi within . He might even break away from the Saint rank!
Lin Xuan was grateful . Although he had encountered an immense pain, so painful that he had collapsed and lost consciousness, he also had gained a lot .
He was immensely grateful to Xue Wei . Although he did not know his identity, he could guess that he was not a normal person, that he was someone special for him to be able to mutate him like this .
But he also understood what he should and shouldn't ask . He was well aware that if he were allowed to know about Xue Wei's identity, then he would have been told already . Since he had not been told, it was a secret he should not attempt to pry into .
After the cultivation had stabilized, he stood up stiffly . His body was sore after all the pain that had wrecked his entire being, and now he was aching in all his muscles .
His body was staggering slightly as he stood up, and a bit of dizziness arrived before everything cleared up, and the pain vanished .
Ghost Sword Lin Xuan suddenly looked at himself . His skin had previously been tanned from all the time he had spent under the sun, but his skin was now soft and tender . It was like the skin of a baby .
His hair, which had been black and short-cropped before, was now long and azure in color . His eyes, which had been brown before, were now light blue .
"I think, maybe, you are no longer a Black Willow Swallow . " Xue Wei said tentatively . "You have mutated to become a one of a kind beast, something that has never existed before and something that might never exist again . "
Lin Xuan was stunned as he looked at the skin on his hands, and the hair on his head .
"What . . . what am I then?" he asked hesitatingly .
"I don't know," Xue Wei's lips twitched . "Maybe an Azure Willow Swallow, considering your new hair color?"
"Azure Willow Swallow . I have never heard about that name before . " The Ghost Sword was contemplating, but he found that he quite liked the name .
"Azure is a good color," Xue Wei said with a smile . He was after all an Azure Dragon, so seeing an azure bird was also quite fun .
After a bit of time, Lin Xuan left the study, and the two Emperors and the Grand Elder looked at Xue Wei with excitement .
He had spent fifty drops of blood and had created a mutated swallow . Now they had to discuss how many more experts he was to develop .
"I suggest we make ten experts," the Grand Elder started . Ten experts were five hundred drops of blood . This was an immense amount, but if they did it over some time, it should be doable .
This was also their first suggestion; they were willing to go down to seven or six mutated experts if the need arrived .
But Xue Wei was not in a mood to haggle . It was just blood, and blood was something he created all the time . It was not essence blood or heart essence blood; it was just normal blood .
Nodding his head absentmindedly, the three older men were shocked . Was he accepting it so casually? It was five hundred drops of blood!
Xue Wei did not care too much about it, but to them, it was unimaginable that he was giving them so many benefits .
He was also giving them some of his scarlet bees and some scarlet honey .
He was even gifting them some Qilin Horns . This was the best deal they had ever made, and they felt that they were somewhat taking advantage of him .
But Xue Wei did not care too much . He really needed the Thunder Flame Crown, and he was feeling even more indebted towards Lan after knowing that Lan had been the one who had let Wang Xiaoyun into the Ascended's Realm .
