192 Strengthen a bloodline (1/2)

”But I don't think his bloodline is strong enough for that.”, Miss. Klein directly voiced out her doubts.

”Of course not. But that doesn't mean that it is impossible to reach the goal. After all, there are ways to strengthen the bloodline.”

Hearing her words, both Ivan and Miss. Klein looked at her in surprise. Strengthening the bloodline was an important factor in increasing one's strength. And it was correspondingly hard. Not only would one need a lot of time and energy to do so. Often it would also be necessary to consume certain materials to do so after a certain threshold was reached. This also seemed what had happened to the elder and she was now planning to use Ivan's bloodline to improve her own and thus breakthrough.

Seeing their skepticism, the elder smiled at them teasingly. Luckily she didn't delay her explanation or Miss. Klein just might have hit her, just because of that smile.

”Alright, don't get angry.

As you might know, there are different ways to strengthen a bloodline and extract it for different uses. The most common one is to strengthen the bloodline while raising the strength of the person carrying it and then having that person extract some blood essence.”

Everyone listening nodded. This truly was the most common way to do it.

”Besides extracting blood essence it is also possible to use the natural way to give a bloodline to someone else, which is how children get a bloodline. For males, this is easier since it can be done with just enough sperm, while for women some eggs have to be removed.”, she continued explaining.

This was similar to Vital Qi and how it could be transferred. In fact, Vital Qi and bloodline were linked on a basic level, since Vital Qi always depended on the bloodline. This was something Ivan already had experienced when Celine had transformed.

*I hope this won't go in the same direction.* Sure everyone would be happy to have more beautiful women, but there was a point where it was enough for him.

”Of course, strengthening Ivan's bloodline in his body would take a lot of effort and I don't want to wait so long. So instead we have to extract some of his blood essences and then strengthen this little bit. This will be much easier and cheaper to do, while still fulfilling our needs.”

”So how are you planning to do that?”

”Well...”, she hesitated before answering this question of her disciple, ”Normally he would have to just give us some blood essence and I could then use my power and some medical materials to do the rest. But currently, that is impossible.”

”Huh? Why?”, Miss. Klein asked in confusion.

Unlike her, Ivan had a guess as to what could hinder that normal procedure. It should be what had happened during the situation with Celine and his injuries because of the Ancestral Soul. He currently was still damaged from this and he didn't think that even if the obvious injuries vanished, that he would directly be able to do something like giving someone blood essence.

And the elders next words confirmed his guess, ”Because he is injured he is currently unable to collect any blood essence he could give me.”

”Oh.”, Miss. Klein felt dejected. She truly had hoped for her senior sister to be healed soon. Her master making a breakthrough would have only been the cherry on top. But now it seemed like they would have to wait much longer for it to happen. As for why Ivan had such injuries, she wasn't really interested. She truly didn't care for much besides pill refining.

She also wasn't worried about him, since she knew that he must have understood his situation or he would have surely asked her for help. And since he didn't seem to be worried, why should she be?

Of course, her master wouldn't have brought up this topic if she didn't have an idea. She too knew that but she was sure that that solution would be more problematic, because if it wasn't, then wouldn't it be the common way to do things like this?

”So, since this way is blocked we can only go with the natural way.”, the elder said with glee.

”Huh?”, everyone exclaimed. None of them was dumb and with her explanation before they could easily understand that she meant using Ivan's sperm to get some bloodline essence.

Seeing her master's proud look for coming up with the idea, Miss. Klein could only shake her head. Like herself, her master was completely clueless about the matters of men and women. During her long life, she didn't even have anything like a boyfriend. Not to mention a husband or lover.
