Seeing Li Huai appear, Wang Ping narrowed his eyes.
At the beginning of his simulation, his intention was to investigate the Li family and find out why they could easily locate the Chi Village people and also to clarify why he didn’t kill the children.
[You are furious and want to find a way to confront Li Huai. However, you don’t act rashly or have any intention to meet the Chi family. Because if you did, you would surely expose yourself and put yourself in great danger.]
[You suppress your anger and continue to cultivate and study alchemy. You believe that as long as your strength improves, another investigation will eventually reveal the truth.]
[In the blink of an eye, three years have passed. During these three years, you have been cultivating diligently, improving to the Innate Realm 3rd Tier and making great progress in your alchemy, capable of refining 2nd Tier Elixirs. At the same time, your sword skill realm has also improved greatly.]
[Your talents have made the Li family value you even more. The Li Family Master decided to betroth his granddaughter Li Yan to you, in an effort to tie you firmly to the Li family’s chariot. In order to investigate the truth, you choose to marry Li Yan.]
[After your marriage to Li Yan, you gain the Li Family Master’s favor, and are finally granted access to the family’s treasured 3rd Tier Elixir-refining Prescription for research. At the same time, you are also permitted to cultivate the Li family’s Profound-tier Superior Martial Skill, the Refining Spirit Sword Manual.]
[On the surface, you show a kind and gentle demeanor, full of gratitude, but deep down, you laugh coldly, vowing to use the Li family’s Martial Arts to exterminate the entire Li family once your power is sufficient.]
[On Daya calendar 490, May 1st, with the help of abundant Spiritual Stones and Elixirs, your cultivation successfully advances to the Innate Realm 6th Tier. At the same time, under the influence of Green Talent Sword Skill Talent, after years of training, you successfully reach the consummate realm of the Profound-tier Superior Martial Skill, the Refining Spirit Sword Manual, and even gain insight into the Sword Spirit Protoform. Although the Sword Spirit Protoform is still far from the true Sword Spirit, you have a clear direction and have surpassed countless swordsmen.]
[At the same time, your alchemy skills have also made astonishing progress and you can easily refine Tier 3 Pills.]
[You have never revealed your true strength. However, relying on your alchemy, you raise the overall strength of the Li family, expanding their power at an alarming rate.]
[The Li Family Master’s position becomes more stable due to your presence and everyone respects him. He is very happy and often boasts about how he found a good grandson-in-law, making the Li family elders extremely envious. Your position in the Li family is now like the sun at noon, and even Li Huai treats you with courtesy.]
[In Daya calendar 495, Xia begins to experience chaos and uprisings. During these five years, your cultivation has progressed further, successfully advancing to the Innate Realm 7th Tier. In terms of sword skill training, your Sword Spirit Protoform is even more refined, just one step away from comprehending true Sword Spirit. However, what has improved even more is your alchemy. Your alchemy skills have finally improved, reaching the level of a 4th Tier Alchemist, capable of refining 4th Tier Elixirs.]
[As a 4th Tier Alchemist, your status completely surpasses ordinary Spiritual
Realm experts and is highly esteemed across the entire Xia. Even the Sword Spirit Sect – the dominant sect – and the Xia Royal Family treat you with utmost courtesy and dare not neglect you in the slightest.]
[Your presence allows the Li family’s power to continue growing rapidly, making other major powers envious. The Li Family Master often claims that his son-in-law possesses the talent of a Pill King, leaving others speechless
and envious.]
[On Daya calendar 495, August 1st, perhaps sensing that the time is right and having completely integrated you into the Li family, the Li Family Master and the Supreme Elders bring you to the Li family’s basement.]
[Then you witness a scene that enrages you. The children from back then have all grown up, their memories erased by the Li family’s Elixirs, and are being kept like livestock for breeding.]
“Li family!” Wang Ping looked at the simulation content, clenched his fist, and was filled with anger.
A few seconds later, Wang Ping took a deep breath, calmed his anger, and continued to read.
He knew that the moment to unravel the mystery was coming.
As Wang Ping continued to focus, more content appeared on the luminescent screen.
[Next, with the explanation of the Li family, you finally learn the truth. It turns out that after the Li family exterminated the Chi family years ago, they accidentally discovered the Chi family’s hidden secret: their bloodline.]
[The Chi family members are from the Spirit Clan, a hidden Spirit Clan. Their bloodline can be used for alchemy, and with enough Chi family bloodline and a 4th-tier Alchemist, Blood Spirit Elixirs can be refined. These Blood Spirit
Elixirs can give the person who consumes them a Special Constitution of the
Spirit Clan and also have amazing effects on helping break through the
Transcendent Realm.]
[Back then, when the Li family learned this secret, they regretted killing all the Chi family members. If they had kept them alive for breeding, they could have produced numerous Blood Spirit Elixirs.]
[However, after conducting a population survey, the Li family discovered that the Chi family wasn’t completely extinct and that some members had escaped. This made them extremely overjoyed, and they secretly searched for the whereabouts of the Chi family members. Despite eighty years passing, there was still no news.]
[In the end, the Li family even contacted the Sword Spirit Sect to find the Chi family members with the sect’s help. Because the current Sword Spirit Sect Master’s wife was a member of the Li family, the daughter of the Supreme
Elder, and the sister of the Li Family Master.]
[Eventually, even the Sword Spirit Sect couldn’t find any trace of the Chi family, which greatly annoyed the Li family.]
[As you listen to the Li family’s explanation, filled with cold rage, you pretend to be curious and ask how they managed to find them.]
[Li Huai answers your question. They accidentally obtained a Secret Skill called Blood Demon Tracking Skill, which allowed them to track an individual’s location with just a sample of their blood. However, this secret skill could only be used to track Spirit Clan members, and it had significant limitations — it could only track areas with a large concentration of similar bloodlines, not individual people. They were able to find Chi Village through the Blood Demon Tracking Skill, using the blood of the deceased Chi family members.]
[After listening to their explanations and their comments about how “sly” the Chi Village people were for hiding deep in the Black Wind Forest, you are filled with both anger and trepidation, finally understanding why Li Huai was able to continuously find the Chi family members and only killed the adults, leaving the children behind.]
[Because children can be raised and their existence concealed from other powers using the excuse of adoption. Bringing back too many adults would definitely raise suspicions.. The Li family probably wants to monopolize the bloodline and not let the Sword Spirit Sect discover their secret!]
