121: Chapter 121 Eighty-something is the perfect age for striving
Bloodline strength is linked to martial arts Aptitude.
The more powerful the Bloodline, the faster the cultivation speed when consuming the same amount of resources.
Generally speaking, if someone possessing a Tier 3 Early Stage Bloodline wishes to Cultivate to the Five Viscera Realm, as long as they have the corresponding cultivation resources and undergo a certain period of diligent cultivation, they have over a fifty percent chance of achieving the Five Viscera Realm.
However, if this same Tier 3 Early Stage Bloodline possessor wants to Cultivate from the Five Viscera Realm to the Six Viscera Realm, the difficulty is incomparable.
It is like saying the difficulty for a Tier 4 Early Stage Bloodline possessor to Cultivate to the Six Viscera Realm is one.
Then the difficulty for a Tier 3 Early Stage Bloodline possessor is at least six, while for a Tier 3 High Stage Bloodline possessor, it is three.
In the eyes of Ancestor Yuhuan, Pei Qingyun being able to Cultivate to the Six Viscera Realm with a Tier 3 Early Stage Bloodline Aptitude,
even if he broke through at sixty, is extremely astonishing; the resources consumed would definitely be a massive amount, enough to Cultivate several Tier 4 Bloodline possessors to the Six Viscera Realm.
Could the Wuyang branch really be this wealthy?
Thinking about it carefully, Ancestor Yuhuan felt it was impossible.
After all, the Wuyang Pei Clan is only a third-rate family.
Perhaps there is something about this he does not understand.
But Ancestor Yuhuan did not delve into it.
Everyone has their own fate.
It was the same for him to achieve what he has today.
However, it is not impossible to improve one's Bloodline; there are some Medicinal Pills that can enhance it, but such pills all share one characteristic: they are only effective the first time they are consumed.
Even so, the price of such Medicinal Pills is not low.
Besides that, when a Martial Artist breaks through a major Realm, their Bloodline will improve by a small stage.
When the corresponding Rank of Cultivation Technique is cultivated to Perfection, the Martial Artist's Bloodline will also obtain a certain degree of improvement.
The rarest ways are the two paths of Bloodline restoration and Bloodline Awakening.
Whether it is the former or the latter, the impact on the Bloodline is immense.
Upon learning that he had a Tier 3 Mid Stage Bloodline, Pei Qingyun felt very calm inside.
Long before the test, he already had an idea in his mind.
After his predecessor cultivated to the Early stage of Five Viscera Realm, he had remained stuck there.
Resources might be one aspect, but the impact of his Bloodline was definitely not insignificant.
This test result was within his expectations, even a bit higher than he had anticipated.
During these few days of interaction, besides explaining the middle part of the Evergreen Art to him, Ancestor Yuhuan would also explain common knowledge about cultivating in the Six Viscera Realm.
Regarding the Bloodline aspect, Ancestor Yuhuan also gave him an overview.
He was no longer a novice regarding Bloodlines.
In terms of Aptitude, he could actually be considered among the very top few in the Wuyang Pei Clan.
It was just that at the level of a Six Viscera Grandmaster, his Bloodline was a bit lackluster.
Basically, the Bloodline Power of a Six Viscera Grandmaster is at least Tier 3 High Stage, and the vast majority can even reach Tier 4 Early Stage.
However, for himself, this did not have much of an impact.
But for a Family, the shackles of Bloodline Power are definitely a significant constraint.
If the Wuyang Pei Clan wants to grow stronger, this is an unavoidable threshold.
Before Pei Qingyun could think too much, Ancestor Yuhuan interrupted his deep thoughts, "The Bloodline Power test is finished. Although Tier 3 Mid Stage is a bit low, it is not entirely without opportunity to advance further."
Hearing this, Pei Qingyun also reacted.
Ancestor Yuhuan probably misunderstood him.
He thought he was dissatisfied with the test result and that his state of mind had been dealt a blow, which was why he was silent.
However, he could not explain that he was not relying on normal cultivation means anyway.
Pei Qingyun took a deep breath and said with utmost sincerity, "Great-Granduncle, please rest assured. If Qingyun can walk the path of a Six Viscera Grandmaster with a Tier 3 Mid Stage Bloodline, who is to say I cannot walk the path of that Grandmaster of Meridians?"
After saying this, Pei Qingyun felt as if some kind of shackle in his heart had been opened.
He was originally just a twenty-five-year-old Soul, now inhabiting an eighty-odd-year-old body.
Outwardly, he appeared more composed, but deep down, he did not lack drive.
Isn't eighty-odd years old just the right age to strive?
This time, breaking through to the Six Viscera Realm, although he was not yet clear about the increase in his Lifespan, generally speaking, an increase of twenty years was to be expected.
Even without breaking through to the Six Viscera Realm, he still had thirty good years to live; isn't that much better than most people?
Beside him, Ancestor Yuhuan had not expected that his casual words of comfort would have such a big impact.
Especially when meeting Pei Qingyun's firm and sincere gaze, he felt as if he had grown old.
He was only one hundred and sixty years old and still had twenty years of Lifespan left.
Could he not catch a glimpse of the path to the Innate Realm?
"Good." Ancestor Yuhuan said the word 'good' before continuing, "Qingyun, since you have the confidence to walk the path of opening meridians. Your Great-Granduncle cannot be without a gesture; take this pure essence pill as a congratulatory gift."
As he spoke, Ancestor Yuhuan flicked his finger, and a fire-red Medicinal Pill hovered three feet in front of Pei Qingyun.
This was precisely one of the methods of the Grandmaster of Meridians, controlling objects from the Void Realm.
Reaching the Grandmaster of Meridians Realm, a Martial Artist's methods actually gradually departed from the scope of ordinary people.
Just from this single move, Pei Qingyun could only feel envy.
When he reached out his right palm to receive it, the power attached to the pure essence pill seemed to vanish, and it landed steadily in his palm.
Originally, he had thought this pure essence pill was just a Tier 4 Medicinal Pill.
But smelling this intoxicating medicinal fragrance at close range, a trace of desire welled up in Pei Qingyun's eyes; he knew his judgment had been wrong.
Although he had not yet consumed a Tier 4 Medicinal Pill, he knew that a Tier 4 Medicinal Pill would not have this kind of attraction.
Judging the medicine by its fragrance.
The better the Medicinal Pill, the greater the temptation the fragrance it emits has on a Martial Artist.
For a Six Viscera Grandmaster like him, even a Tier 4 Medicinal Pill could not possibly exert such an attraction on him.
He just did not expect Ancestor Yuhuan to bring out such a valuable item right away.
Sure enough, a Grandmaster of Meridians is extraordinary.
Everything they do is extraordinary.
"Great-Granduncle, this pure essence pill is too valuable; I cannot accept it." Looking at the fire-red Medicinal Pill in his palm, Pei Qingyun resisted the temptation and declined.
Ancestor Yuhuan pretended to be angry and said, "What, you want to refuse a congratulatory gift from your Great-Granduncle? Consume this pure essence pill right now, and I will help you refine it."
Hearing this, Pei Qingyun knew he could not refuse any longer.
The next moment, he tilted his head back, and the pure essence pill placed in his palm slid straight into his stomach.
In an instant, the pure essence pill exploded in his body like a ball of scorching flames, and a majestic and strange power rapidly surged through his limbs and bones.
His originally calm Bloodline felt like a lake into which a giant rock had been thrown, suddenly rippling with waves.
That power was like a surging tide, constantly battering against the Bloodline barrier, each collision emitting a dull thud.
Following that, the power within his Bloodline began to climb at an astonishing speed, like a burning flame, emitting a scorching aura from the inside out.
