Chapter 13 - Blood Spirit (2/2)

Zhuo Fan took the black jade and returned to the tavern.

He wasn’t addicted to killing, but some people were addicted to courting death.

Zhuo Fan met with Captain Pang at the tavern and threw him a pouch, “Old Pang, here.”

Captain Pang didn’t understand, “Eh? The 10 spirit stones are all here? Didn’t you buy it?”

Zhuo Fan left Captain Pang at the tavern after borrowing 10 spirit stones, saying he found something that caught his eye. Yet the same spirit stones were left in the bag, untouched.

“Oh, that old man was so nice he just gave it to me.” Zhuo Fan dodged.

“Also, Old Pang, guard my door and don’t let anyone come in.”

With that, he closed the door to his room. Captain Pang found it strange, but since they were like brothers now, he helped him out. As such, he sat before Zhuo Fan’s door as a guard.

Zhuo Fan was clear as to what happened beyond his door and nodded, pleased. He lucked out in finding such a loyal man.

Next, he settled the black jade on the table and released his dark Yuan Qi.

Bam!

The stone’s exterior cracked and fell, revealing a blood-red light.

It was no longer a black jade but a bloody one. Moreover, it gave the impression of a heart as it flashed on and off like heartbeats.

“I knew it, it’s the Blood Spirit!”

Zhuo Fan swallowed, his face working hard to restrain the obvious delight in his voice.

The Blood Spirit stems from any stone. It’s only requirement of formation is to be bathed in the blood of millions of people, absorbing the essence of sun and moon for thousands of years, it would take form. It was a demonic cultivator treasure, rarest of treasures.

A cultivator would use the Blood Spirit to form a Blood Infant. In battle, he could send the Blood Infant to absorb the opponent’s blood essence then kill him. And the Blood Infant could grow along with the cultivator. Once Zhuo Fan grew strong enough, even an Emperor wouldn’t dare mess with it.

According to the Nine Serenities Secret Records, there was once an ancient demonic cultivator expert, Patriarch Blood Demon, that trained the Blood Infant to the Saint Stage. Even the ancient ten Emperors were unwilling to make an enemy out of him.

Patriarch Blood Demon felt invincible and went to challenge Nine Serenities Emperor for the title of the strongest demonic cultivator. It was a drawn out battle, with the Nine Serenities Emperor heavily wounded at the end; barely overcoming the Patriarch Blood Demon by half a move.

However, the Nine Serenities Emperor obtained Patriarch Blood Demon’s secret method to raise the Blood Infant, improved it, and added it to the Demon Transformation Art. The Nine Serenities Emperor wanted to train the Blood Infant too, but never got the chance.

Never did he, Zhuo Fan, the Demonic Emperor, think he’d have such a stroke of luck after rebirthing to train the Blood Infant.

If he had it in his past life, a Saint would’ve been nothing.

That thought made him eager to slash his wrist and pour his blood onto the blood jade.
