12: hastily implemented new talents and frantically stacked buffs.

"Holy crap!"

Boundless Sea's Appraisal information sent Cao Meng into ecstasy, immediately halting his steps.

This was like a pillow arriving just as one was falling asleep.

Weakness!

The Mutated Bloodthirsty Body's Talent: Devour the true blood of living beings to strengthen the Physical Body.

This was a big catch.

This eunuch still wanted to devour my Blood Spirit Sacred Body; I'll kill him first.

Strike while the iron is hot!

Cao Meng was not a fool who repaid evil with kindness. If he didn't seize such a good Opportunity, he would be letting himself down too much.

"What, Young Master, is there something else?" Boundless Sea looked at Cao Meng, who had suddenly turned back, with some confusion.

Cao Meng slapped his forehead, embarrassed, and said, "I almost forgot the most important thing. Eunuch Hai, Revered Master has something to tell you. Please dismiss everyone ~"

"Oh? Does Her Majesty have something to instruct?"

Boundless Sea was stunned. It seemed the matter was no small feat. He waved his hand, "Everyone, withdraw."

"Yes!"

Everyone hurriedly bowed and retreated, not forgetting to close the main door as they left.

"Young Master, what instructions does Her Majesty have? You can speak now, right?" Boundless Sea said with a smile.

"Of course."

Cao Meng smiled and leaned close to Boundless Sea.

"Revered Master wants me to ask you, Eunuch Hai, about you and the Empress of Southern Chu..."

Swish ~

Halfway through his sentence, Cao Meng suddenly acted, his right hand firmly gripping Boundless Sea's head.

At the same time!

Talent, Plunder ~

Five hundred destiny value sacrificed to the heavens ~

"You little beast, how dare you... Wuwu ~"

Boundless Sea was greatly alarmed. Half a sentence had just left his mouth when his entire body began to twitch uncontrollably.

Feeling a mysterious power rapidly draining from his body, Boundless Sea was scared out of his wits.

"You, what kind of evil Cultivation Technique is this? Stop, stop... Spare me..."

At the same time, Cao Meng also felt his body undergoing a miraculous transformation, a feeling that was indescribably refreshing.

"Mutated Bloodthirsty Body devouring..."

Half a minute later.

Rumble ~

A deafening thud echoed, and the main hall of the Eastern Depot's Governor's mansion collapsed. The huge roof flew into the air, and a chilling cold current swept through.

Instantly, the collapsed eaves and broken walls, as well as the trees, flowers, and plants in the small garden in front, were all covered with a layer of azure frost.

Even the surface of the small pond in the garden instantly froze.

"Enemy attack!"

"Oh no, Governor..."

Several figures shot into the sky, arriving in front of the Governor's mansion in the blink of an eye.

Looking closely, they saw that Governor was sealed in a blue ice shard.

Three zhang in front of him, a pale-faced, handsome young man in tattered clothes wiped away blood-stained ice shards from the corner of his mouth.

"Cough cough."

Cao Meng lightly coughed twice and slowly straightened his body.

"I was too hasty... I didn't expect the Cold Poison of this Xuanli Snake King to be so strong!"

Looking at Boundless Sea, who was frozen in ice, Cao Meng instantly understood.

That old fellow had just devoured the Bloodline of a Dragon Elephant Realm Great Yao King, the Xuanli Snake, and was using his Mutated Bloodthirsty Body to refine and Fuse the opponent's Bloodline.

Now he had taken the Mutated Bloodthirsty Body for himself.

It was equivalent to pulling the rug out from under him.

Without the suppression of the Mutated Bloodthirsty Body, the Great Yao's extremely cold Bloodline erupted, instantly freezing the old eunuch.

The four thousand-household commanders of the Eastern Depot, who arrived one after another, were furious.

"Governor!"

"This wicked creature dares to harm the Governor, kill him!"

"Stop!" Cao Meng flipped his hand and once again revealed Her Majesty the Empress's Imperial Edict, sternly shouting:

"By Her Majesty the Empress's order, Boundless Sea colluded with Southern Chu and plotted rebellion. I am ordered to capture him and bring him to justice. Anyone who dares to act rashly will be guilty of the same crime as the pirate Hai!"

The four thousand-household commanders heard this and immediately looked at each other suspiciously. Three of them slowly put away their weapons.

But the previous Commander Qin's face flickered between dark and light. Finally, he gritted his teeth:

"No, this token is fake. Thief Cao, you dare to falsely transmit the sacred will! All commanders, seize this villain with me."

"What? Fake... Impossible, right ~"

The three thousand-household commanders were stunned. Seeing this, Qin Cong drew his long sword, its light like lightning, his movements like a phantom, and charged towards Cao Meng.

"Courting death!"

Cao Meng snorted lightly, his figure rapidly retreating.

At the same time, from the small sword box on his back, three seven absolute spirit swords flew out, carrying sharp Sword Qi, and attacked Qin Cong.

This Qin Cong was also a Revered Master who had Cultivated the Blood Lotus True Scripture. His attack speed was incredibly fast, his long sword danced, creating countless afterimages. In the blink of an eye, he exchanged dozens of blows with Cao Meng's three spirit swords, yet he still charged forward relentlessly.

"The Blood Lotus True Scripture is indeed worthy of its reputation. If it weren't incomplete, I'm afraid it would also be a Saint Grade Cultivation Technique."

Cao Meng was secretly startled. While flying backward, two more spirit swords flew out.

Clang clang clang ~

Swish ~ Thump ~

The spirit sword, like a swimming Dragon, flashed past Qin Cong's head.

Qin Cong's corpse fell heavily, his open eyes still filled with deep unwillingness and despair.

With a wave of his hand, the five spirit swords automatically returned to their scabbards.

"Killing an opponent of the same realm requires the use of five spirit swords. My understanding of the Dao of the Sword is still too lacking..." Cao Meng sighed slightly.

The seven absolute spirit swords, painstakingly nurtured for ten years, possessed powerful Sword Essence and moved with his will. In the Nine Kingdoms of the Eastern Domain, they could be considered Spirit Treasures.

Unfortunately, the original owner had probably focused most of his efforts on nurturing the swords, and his own understanding of the Dao of the Sword was clearly lacking. Moreover, he was not a Sword Spirit Body, so the seven absolute spirit swords simply couldn't unleash their full power.

If I could comprehend the Seven Absolute Sword Intent, I'm afraid I would only need to use one spirit sword to suppress this fellow so he couldn't even raise his head.

Cao Meng turned his head and looked at the three thousand-household commanders who had not attacked him. He walked leisurely to the front of the Eunuch Sword Saint, who was frozen into a small ice figure by the Xuanli Bloodline.

During the Talent Plunder just now, Cao Meng also discovered a bug.

It seemed he had only randomly Plundered Boundless Sea's Mutated Bloodthirsty Talent, even after expending five hundred destiny value.

His Spirit-Connecting Sword Body seemed not to have been devoured.

Additionally, although he had devoured Boundless Sea's Blood Devouring Talent and weakened his destiny value, this destiny value did not increase Cao Meng's own.

This completely foiled Cao Meng's plan to exploit a bug and create an infinite loop.

It seemed that while plundering others' Talents, one could not acquire their destiny value.

Having figured this out, Cao Meng cast an Appraisal Technique on the frozen eunuch.

Boundless Sea

Cultivation: Dragon Elephant Golden Core Middle Stage

Bloodline Disorder [More than ten types of special Yao Beast and human special Bloodlines are mixed, unable to Fuse, Physical Body is on the verge of collapse]

Talent: Spirit-Connecting Sword Body [Heaven-Grade]

Thoughts: eeeeee

destiny value: 2235 [Second-Tier Destiny Bearer] [Plunderable]

"A Heaven-Grade Sword Spirit Body. Although it's not the Saint Spirit Sword Physique, it's barely acceptable!"

After a slight hesitation, Cao Meng still chose to Plunder first.

Originally, by Cao Meng's standards, it would be best to Plunder some Saint Grade Talents.

Unfortunately, Saint Grade Talents were too rare. In the entire White Deer Academy, encompassing the Great Zhou, Great Liang, and Northern Wei kingdoms, among the tens of billions of elite Genius, there were no more than ten known Saint-Grade Talent holders. Even Heaven-Grade Genius were extremely few in number.

To target these people, one needed an Opportunity.

Before that, it was better to acquire a few Heaven-Grade ones to stack some buffs.

Perhaps by stacking a few more, he could create a pilgrimage-level Sword Dao Talent.

Cao Meng slowly pressed his palm against the blue ice shard.

Plunder!

Five hundred destiny value sacrificed to the heavens.

Half a minute later.

Cao Meng slowly withdrew his palm.

The eyes of the three Eastern Depot Golden Core experts, who were still quietly watching from a distance, changed.

The three suddenly realized that the Thief Cao in front of them seemed to have changed.

He was like a drawn sharp sword, and the Sword Intent emanating from him made even them, as Revered Masters of the same realm, feel a hint of trepidation.

Cao Meng closed his eyes, a profound and mysterious feeling lingering in his heart.

At this moment, his Soul seemed to have undergone a sublimation.

The previously vague and incomprehensible Sword Intent and Dao of the Sword suddenly became clear.

He brought up his attribute panel:

Name: Cao Meng, courtesy name Demeng

Appearance: 99

Cultivation: Golden Core [31%]

Comprehension Ability: Heaven-Grade High Grade [Nearing Breakthrough]

Talent: Blood Spirit Sacred Body, Blood Devouring [Saint Grade, Mutated] The Blood Spirit Sacred Body formed by the Fusion of the Mutated Bloodthirsty Body possesses terrifying Bloodline devouring and Fusion abilities. It can strengthen the Physical Body through the Fusion of Bloodline energy... Pure Yang Cauldron Body [Saint Grade] Cultivating with others yields divine effects.

Spirit-Connecting Sword Body [Heaven-Grade] A born son of the Dao of the Sword, Sword Dao power + 200%

Talent Skills: Talent Plunder

Opportunity Exchange

Appraisal Technique

Relationship Interaction: Wu Feiyan — Destiny 6600 [Can be suppressed]

Exchange Information: 1. Wang Han, a Disciple of White Deer Academy, discovered the pre-Qin Spirit Treasure — thousand illusions mask — in his ancestor's urn, but failed to fully utilize its effects, causing the pearl to be covered in dust. [Required destiny value: 1200 points]

2. Yang Xuan, the chief Disciple of Hanging Temple, excavated a pre-Qin Ancient Tomb and discovered the ancient seven profound sword formation armor. [Required destiny value: 500 points]

3. The Third Prince of Northern Wei, Yuan Hao, discovered a pre-Qin female Cultivator's ice coffin, suspected to be the body of a mighty figure. [Required destiny value: 2000]

Looking at the information on the attribute panel, Cao Meng was stunned.

His Blood Spirit Sacred Body had actually Fused and mutated, becoming even more powerful.

Additionally, his originally Heaven-Grade High Grade Comprehension Ability, after two rounds of plundering, had actually become 'nearing Breakthrough'.

"Could it be? While plundering others' Talents, it can also enhance Comprehension Ability? This is a hidden attribute..."

"My guess was indeed correct. Similar Talents, after being devoured, can Fuse and improve..." Cao Meng slowly withdrew his hand.

"In this way, couldn't I continuously Plunder Talents, Fuse them, and create several unprecedented Talents...?"

As soon as he thought of this, the excitement in his heart became somewhat irrepressible.

The three thousand-household commanders stared blankly at Cao Meng, only to see him smiling foolishly, looking like a beggar who had found a mountain of gold.

"Young Master ~"

One of the commanders mustered his courage and called out.

"Oh, what's the matter?" Cao Meng turned his head, a wide smile on his face.

"Well, that, what should we do with Boundless Sea? Also, the Eastern Depot here..."

"No hurry ~" Cao Meng shook his head.

Since he had already acquired Boundless Sea's Blood Devouring Talent, this treasure mountain of the eunuch certainly couldn't be let go.

This guy had devoured and Fused more than ten kinds of Bloodlines, a rare and great tonic... "Devour!"
