“I’m sorry, Little Brother Mu. These people aren’t the same anymore.” Guchang smiled apologetically.
Yun Lintian took a sip of tea and replied. “No need to say this, Senior. I can fully understand. It’s not easy for everyone after everything they have been through these years.”
“It would be better if we could deal with the blood seal.” Guchang sighed. For a half-human, half-beast, the bloodline was the source of confidence.
Yun Lintian put the teacup down and said. “How about I try it now?”
Guchang’s eyes lit up. “Sure! What do I need to prepare?”
Yun Lintian shook his head. “All Senior needs to do is pay attention to my action. I will teach Senior how to do it so that you can lift the seal on everyone later when I’m gone.”
“This… Can I really do it?” Guchang hesitated slightly. Although his strength was high in the heyday, his attainment in the seal art could be described as ordinary. He was afraid he couldn’t learn it well.
“How do we know if we don’t try?” Yun Lintian said. “Besides, from my understanding, the bloodline seal on everyone has the same pattern. So, as long as we can lift one, we can do it on others the same way.”
Guchang took a deep breath and nodded. “Alright. I’ll have to trouble Little Brother Mu.”
“Linlin, can you help big brother guards the place?” Yun Lintian said softly. Even though there was an isolating barrier in this place, he couldn’t be at ease. What if someone barged in during the process? He couldn’t count on Fan, right?
Linlin, who was lying on his lap, jumped off Yun Lintian and stood calmly at the door. “Leave it to me, Big Brother Yun.”
Guchang looked at Linlin curiously. In fact, he had been observing Linlin since the first time they met. He could feel an extraordinary bloodline in her, but he couldn’t figure out what it was.
Yun Lintian had also observed Guchang from the beginning. He was relieved when he discovered Guchang didn’t seem to recognize Linlin’s bloodline. Otherwise, he would need to let Linlin stay in the Land of Beyond Heaven during his journey here.
“Senior, please adjust your condition. This will take quite a long time to complete.” Yun Lintian said while placing the silver needles and some healing pills on the table.
Guchang immediately closed his eyes, taking a few deep breaths before saying. “I’m ready.”
Yun Lintian didn’t say anything further and picked the silver needles up before piercing them into Guchang’s profound entrances. His movement was extremely fast. All the profound entrances were pinned by the silver needles in two seconds.
“Senior, the runes on your bones are like a secret code. If you want to crack the code, we have to start it correctly from the beginning. Look at here.” Yun Lintian pointed at Guchang’s left shoulder bone, which had a triangle symbol carved on it.
“According to my research, this is definitely the initial rune.” Yun Lintian explained and injected a trace of profound energy through the silver needle in that area.
In the next moment, Guchang could feel a slight fluctuation in his bloodline. It was as though his bloodline was about to awake. He couldn’t help exclaiming. “I can feel it. There’s a movement in my bloodline.”
Yun Lintian nodded. “It means this is the right point. I’ll continue now.”
Following this, Yun Lintian repeated the process on various spots throughout Guchang’s body. He kept teaching Guchang along the way, and the latter listened to him attentively without missing a single word. ．
The more Yun Lintian unlocked the seal, the obvious the movement of Guchang’s bloodline became. Now, Guchang was fully convinced Yun Lintian could lift the bloodline seal.
The process took a full eight hours. After clearing the last rune on Guchang’s bones, Yun Lintian let out a long breath and wiped the sweat on his forehead. “It’s done. Senior can try to invoke your bloodline.”
Guchang nodded his head firmly. He closed his eyes and began to activate his bloodline.
Buzz—
At this moment, a crimson light instantly covered Guchang’s body, and he immediately went under a massive transformation. Two long, majestic horns emerged on Guchang’s head. They were entirely different from the horns Yun Lintian saw on Hongniu Kangyi and others.
All the muscles on Guchang’s body were bulging, releasing a powerful oppressing aura that even Yun Lintian couldn’t help but take a step back.
When the crimson light dissipated, a three-meter-tall man immediately appeared in Yun Lintian’s sight. This person was completely different from the Guchang he had seen earlier. His eyes had become sharper, and a crimson light shone brightly on them. His skin changed from ordinary tanned to crimson, making him look solemn.
“Finally…” Guchang looked at his own body emotionally. He had totally forgotten this long-lost feeling.
“Congratulations, Senior.” Yun Lintian heaved a sigh of relief when he saw this. It was, after all, his first time trying to lift the bloodline seal. Looked like it succeeded with no accident.
Guchang took a deep breath and bowed his head. “Thank you, Little Brother Mu.”
Yun Lintian hurriedly waved his hand. “Please don’t do this, Senior.”
“You deserved it.” Guchang smiled. It could be said Yun Lintian was the first person he had ever bowed his head to, but he didn’t feel anything wrong about it.
“F-father?” On the side, Fan looked at his “father” in amazement. Although he knew that his father inherited the main lineage, he didn’t expect to be this powerful.
Guchang turned to look at his son and beckoned him. “Come here, son. I’ll help you lift the seal.”
Fan returned to his sense and became excited. He quickly rushed to his father’s side and sat down obediently. As long as he could regain the bloodline, he didn’t have to fear those bullies anymore.
Yun Lintian gave the silver needles to Guchang and said. “You can start now, Senior. I won’t help you this time.”
“Alright,” Guchang responded and picked one silver needle up before slowly piercing it on Fan’s profound entrance. His movement speed was worlds apart from Yun Lintian’s, but the precision was not bad. There shouldn’t be a problem for the latter process.
