Chapter 2300: Chapter 2297: Support

"Indeed, they are good women..." Lin Tian silently murmured as he watched the two sisters walk away into the distance.

"There are quite a few good women around the master." The Sword Spirit sighed deliberately.

Lin Tian raised an eyebrow, didn’t respond this time, and instead returned to his dormitory, shut the door, sat cross-legged on the mat, extended his right hand, and let the blood pearls hover out.

The blood of the four Zombie Ancestors and the Blood Clan each harbored different energies, yet they were all immensely powerful. Any drop of blood here could instantly turn a person into a zombie or a member of the Blood Clan.

And when zombies and the Blood Clan bite others, they would turn more people into zombies. These zombies survive on human blood, creating more zombies through the process of sucking blood.

If this spread continued unchecked, and without the intervention of a Demon Exorcist or some other powerful force, eventually, the entire world would be overrun with zombies. Perhaps that is why Demon Exorcists consider zombies arch-enemies, to be eliminated at all costs.

Just one drop of zombie blood could cause enormous upheaval, and this is no exaggeration.

From this perspective, the task of refining and merging five blood pearls is very challenging. Thinking of this, Lin Tian’s heart stirred, and a purple flame rose in his palm, enveloping the five blood pearls.

The first change occurred in Charlotte’s blood. Under the scorching purple flame, the blood started to rotate slightly, with traces of black gas emerging from it. The next to change was Xu Feibai’s blood, which also emitted black gas, and both of them shrank in size.

However, after a certain extent of contraction, they stopped changing, and the blood of Houqing, Ying Gou, and Lin Tian showed no change at all.

Lin Tian attempted to press the five blood pearls together and merge them, but no matter how much he compressed, the blood would simply converge and, once he relaxed, return to separate pearls, showing almost no change.

"Master, it’s useless. Each blood pearl contains the power and energy of their bloodline. To break the bloodline barrier, a mighty external force is needed," reminded the Sword Spirit.

"How do you know?" Lin Tian asked.

The Sword Spirit replied smugly, "Of course I know. The Blood Clan also has a long history in the West. King Arthur’s Court Wizard specifically researched the blood of the Blood Clan, attempting to concoct a strengthening potion to build the strongest army, but unfortunately, they failed."

Lin Tian frowned and said, "Houqing and Ying Gou’s blood won’t merge, that’s understandable, but why is my blood not changing either?"

"Master, I might say something you won’t like: are you sure it’s your blood? Or, more precisely, are you sure the bloodline power is yours?" retorted the Sword Spirit.

Lin Tian thought for a moment and said, "The bloodline power is that of Nu Ba..."

"That’s right. It appears to be your blood, but it contains the bloodline power of Nu Ba. Master, your relationship with Nu Ba is similar to Charlotte’s relationship with you. You can’t harm Nu Ba in the slightest, but Nu Ba can easily destroy you." The Sword Spirit spoke without any reservation, almost suggesting that Nu Ba is his master.

Lin Tian’s heart sank slightly, not just due to the problem of refining medicine, but also because of the last sentence from the Sword Spirit: the bloodline power granted him great strength, but it also became a shackle.

Although Nu Ba had no intention of killing him, what Lin Tian wanted was more than just "not being killed."

"Master’s goal of courting Nu Ba is somewhat distant, but refining these blood pearls is somewhat easier, as they exist in isolation. They can break barriers as long as there’s a powerful external force," explained the Sword Spirit.

Lin Tian chuckled and said, "Looks like recruiting you in the first place had some benefits after all."

"Of course, I’ve followed King Arthur for so long; I’ve seen plenty of great upheavals," boasted the Sword Spirit.

Lin Tian couldn’t be bothered to respond and instead put away the blood pearls. The initial attempt at refinement failed, proving more difficult than anticipated, but it was only a trial. When preparations are complete, he will use the Shennong Ding.

The next morning, Lin Tian, as usual, began his practice early, and even though he was promoted to a Second-level Green-eyed Zombie, he would not slack off in training.

Breaking through yesterday was the result of an accumulation process, with the Shennong Ding serving as the final push.

After he finished his practice and went downstairs, he saw all the competitors gathered outside, including Yan Lingling.

"Brother Tian, we must leave first, to depart from the Medicine King Mansion. Let’s meet again," Ghost said with a bit of emotion. After all, in the past few days, they shared life and death, overcoming difficulties together.

"In such a hurry?" Lin Tian looked at the other competitors and then at Yan Lingling.

Yan Lingling also said helplessly, "It’s the rules of the Medicine King Mansion. Things have concluded, so they cannot remain here."

"Brother Tian, there is nothing left to do here; staying wouldn’t mean anything. You all continue with the refining; I await your good news." Ghost spoke lightly.

The competitors bid their farewells one by one, and the Medicine King Mansion would use a helicopter to send them back to the Langya Pavilion. As they left, Ji Zimo and Situ Yufeng looked at Lin Tian with a reluctance that couldn’t change anything.

"Shuiyao, we’ll come back to find you," shouted Xiao Manxuan.

"Great Grandpa said, after saying goodbye to them, come to the Elixir room," reminded Yan Lingling, the little girl adding quickly, "Brother Lin Tian, you will certainly succeed."

Instead of talking about refining elixirs, Lin Tian asked, "Have you seen Little Snow?"

"Hehe, Little Snow, whenever free, competes with Bai. But Brother Lin Tian, rest assured, Little Snow will be fine at the Medicine King Mansion and won’t starve," promised the little girl seriously.

Lin Tian did believe that the Medicine King Mansion had the resources for it. Ordinary people couldn’t afford Little Snow, given her unusual diet, but the Medicine King Mansion certainly could, with medicinal herbs everywhere.

Before long, they reached the Elixir room, where Yan Shan and Elder Le Hua were waiting inside.

"Thank you, Elder Yan and Great Elder, for your help," Lin Tian said sincerely.

He didn’t ask why only two were here to help from the Medicine King Mansion, knowing, as a pharmacist, that too many people aren’t always a boon because it becomes difficult to maintain control when managing fire with many.

"Le Hua and I discussed until late last night and came up with a plan. You will take the lead, with Le Hua and I assisting you, jointly activating the Shennong Ding to refine the materials," Yan Shan stated solemnly.

Lin Tian was slightly surprised but felt deeply respectful. The big shots of the Medicine King Mansion, the pharmacist doyens, were willing to assist a junior, clearly setting aside their so-called status and identity, focusing only on refining medicine to save people.

Lin Tian hesitated no longer. With a wave of his hand, the Shennong Ding appeared in the center of the Elixir room. The two senior pharmacists stood at the two sides of the Shennong Ding, while Lin Tian took the main position.

"The blood of the five great bloodlines is very pure, but purification is still essential. The blood pearls contain Yin Sha Power; it’s necessary to refine and eliminate the Evil Qi. Otherwise, if the young girl takes the elixir, who knows if she’ll turn into a zombie," stated Elder Le Hua.

Lin Tian naturally understood this principle. Opening the Shennong Ding, he extended his hand and launched the five blood pearls, which fell into the Shennong Ding.
