Listening to his Grandpa's description, Zhang Hao also yearned for the Blood Pool Refining. Zhang Kuanglong had only awakened the Rising Sun Heavenly Yang Bloodline, and his strength had increased so much. If he could also awaken a Bloodline, it would definitely be of great help to the growth of his cultivation.
"Grandpa, can Blood Pool Refining really help people awaken Bloodlines?" Zhang Hao asked curiously.
As far as Zhang Hao knew, although Awakening a Bloodline was something that Martial Warriors on the True Martial Continent dreamed of, there were not many ways to help awaken a Bloodline. Otherwise, Martial Warriors who had awakened Bloodlines would not be so rare on the True Martial Continent.
"Yes, it is said that tens of thousands of years ago, our Zhang Family produced a generation of peerless heroes. He defeated countless prodigies and was invincible among those of the same level. That ancestor of the Zhang Family once killed a Demon Dragon and buried the Demon Dragon's remains in the Zhang Family's ancestral land, using the Magic Dragon Blood to help the Zhang Family's descendants awaken their Bloodlines," Zhang Yaobang said, extremely excited as he recounted the deeds of this Zhang Family ancestor. It was as if that peerless hero of the Zhang Family was right in front of him.
"Grandpa, can every Martial Warrior who undergoes Blood Pool Refining awaken a Bloodline?" Zhang Hao asked a crucial question.
"Zhang Hao, although Blood Pool Refining can help Martial Warriors, the probability of Awakening a Bloodline is very small. Not even one out of a hundred Family descendants who undergo Blood Pool Refining will necessarily successfully awaken a Bloodline. Therefore, it is extremely rare that Kuanglong was able to awaken his Bloodline. It's just a pity that he went down a path of no return," Zhang Yaobang said regretfully.
Zhang Hao sighed inwardly. If Zhang Kuanglong had not conspired with his Father, Zhang Yanwu, to usurp the position of Family Head and put his Father and Grandpa to death, there was a high probability that Zhang Kuanglong could have become a peerless expert.
"Zhang Hao, the first place winner of this clan competition can participate in the Zhang Family's Blood Pool Refining. This Blood Pool Refining will be in half a month. You need to set off earlier," Zhang Yaobang said to Zhang Hao.
"Understood, Grandpa," Zhang Hao quickly agreed.
The Zhang Family Main Clan is in the Tianfeng Kingdom. To enter the Tianfeng Kingdom from the Watt Country, one needs to cross the Black Demon Ridge. This is very risky for ordinary Martial Warriors. Although Zhang Hao was not afraid, he did not dare to be careless. Therefore, Zhang Hao planned to improve his strength further in the next few days. This way, the probability of self-preservation would greatly increase.
Luo Han Fist had already reached the realm of mastery, with no room for further improvement. Therefore, Zhang Hao planned to spend all his time cultivating the Pai Yun Palm and the Swallow Shadow Drift movement technique.
Pai Yun Palm was still at the beginner level, so there was naturally a lot of room for improvement. Swallow Shadow Drift had only reached minor success. Its power had not been fully displayed yet. Zhang Hao planned to spend the next few days improving Pai Yun Palm and Swallow Shadow Drift.
"Pai Yun Palm!"
With a "boom!" of a punch.
Zhang Hao smashed a huge rock in front of him into Crumbs.
"Congratulations Player Zhang Hao, you have used Pai Yun Palm. Your proficiency +1"
...
"Congratulations Player Zhang Hao, you have used Swallow Shadow Drift. Proficiency +1"
...
After depleting the True Qi in his body, Zhang Hao would take a Dan to recover, and then continue. Under his tireless cultivation, the proficiency of his martial techniques rapidly increased.
One day, Zhang Hao was cultivating. Suddenly, Jin Bao hurried in from outside, came to Zhang Hao, and said anxiously, "Boss, something's wrong, you should go back and take a look!"
"What's wrong?" Seeing Jin Bao's hurried appearance, Zhang Hao was a little strange.
"Boss, I just passed by the Family's reception hall today and found that there were guests. They seemed to be discussing something, and I felt that the Supreme Elder was very agitated and about to quarrel. I didn't listen carefully, but my intuition told me I should find you," Jin Bao said solemnly to Zhang Hao.
"About to quarrel? Who could it be?"
Zhang Hao thought to himself as he hurried back to the Family with Jin Bao.
Zhang Hao's residence in Ninghai City was not far from the Zhang Family. The two of them arrived quickly.
Zhang Hao hurried towards the reception hall. Before he even reached the reception hall, he heard someone inside roar in a low voice, "Zhang Yaobang, you are simply refusing a toast and drinking a forfeit! Are you going to give up this spot or not?"
"Seven Executives, this spot originally belonged to our Ninghai City branch. Why should we give it up? Moreover, this spot is also very important to us. Therefore, I will absolutely not give it up."
As soon as Zhang Hao heard this, he knew that this matter was probably closely related to the Zhang Family's Blood Pool Refining spot. His heart tightened, and he no longer listened carefully, immediately walking into the reception hall.
Upon entering the living room, Zhang Hao saw that there was an Old Man in the living room, about sixty years old, with a thin face and deep, bright eyes. Beside him stood a White-robed Youth, about eighteen or nineteen years old, with an arrogant expression.
Zhang Yaobang was slightly surprised to see Zhang Hao enter.
"Zhang Hao, you're here. Come, let me introduce you. This is the Seven Executives from the Zhang Family, and this is the Seven Executives' grandson, Zhang Wensong!" Zhang Yaobang introduced simply, his expression gloomy.
"You are Zhang Hao?"
The Seven Executives looked at Zhang Hao and snorted coldly, his expression full of disdain.
Although Zhang Hao was unhappy, he knew that etiquette could not be abandoned. He still cupped his hands lazily to the Seven Executives and said, "Junior Zhang Hao greets the Seven Executives!"
"Hmm, you probably don't know yet! I'm here this time for your branch's Blood Pool Refining spot this year. I hope you will give it up," the Seven Executives said to Zhang Hao, getting straight to the point.
"Seven Executives, this Blood Pool Refining spot was originally a benefit given to our branch by the Zhang Family. Don't tell me the Seven Executives don't know?" Zhang Hao said unhappily.
The Seven Executives was a little displeased by Zhang Hao's aggressive tone. He snorted coldly and said, "Of course I know this, which is why I came to discuss it with you this time."
Saying that, the Seven Executives pointed to the youth next to him and said, "He is my grandson, Wensong. A year ago, he awakened more than one-tenth of the ancestral Bloodline, but our Family has used up the three opportunities allocated to us. Therefore, this time, I hope your branch will give this Blood Pool Refining opportunity to my grandson. This way, after the Blood Pool Refining this year, my grandson might be able to awaken two-tenths and master new Bloodline skills! Of course, we won't take it for free. We will compensate you with 1 million silver."
Zhang Hao was instantly angered and laughed. The opportunity for Blood Pool Refining was extremely precious. Let alone 1 million silver, even 10 million silver would not be enough. Now, the other party was throwing 1 million silver and wanting the branch to give up the spot. This was simply robbery.
"Seven Executives, I'll give you 2 million silver. How about you get me a Blood Pool Refining spot?" Zhang Hao said mockingly.
"Kid, what do you mean?" The Seven Executives' expression turned gloomy.
"Don't you understand what I mean? You want this spot for 1 million silver? Are you trying to bribe a beggar?" Zhang Hao said coldly.
