Chapter 16 (2/2)
Su Ming’s face became serious, and listened in respect
“The matter of this medicinal stone, from noards, you ain, you must not speak of it! Henceforth, I will also not question you about this matter!”
“Even within the tribe, you have to bear in mind not to tell anyone Not even Lei Chen!” Grandpa looked at Su Ming fully, sombre in his words
Su Ming hesitated for a moment
Grandpa sighed He understood Su Ming, that his character was too honest Hence, he gravely said again
“Su Ming, heed Grandpa’s words Do not tell anyone!”
Su Ming nodded in silence, his expression resolute
“The tribe it is not safe here…” Grandpa , especially when he recalled Grandpa conceal his blood qi in front the the three tribe elders
“There’s a traitor… in the tribe! As of now, only the patriarch, you and me knows of this, no other person The traitor is too well concealed, we do not knoho”
“Along with the news you brought back, and the possibility of h… These days, I sense soh catastrophe will soon befall upon us
“Su Ming, these ood, Grandpa will keep soh, these will be sufficient, otherwise any more won’t help”
“Grandpa isn’t lacking in herbs, but has reached a bottleneck, and requires an epiphany” Grandpa sighed before speaking to Su Ming once again, unreservedly sharing his cultivation experience He then retrieved a strange object that consisted of planks of wood joint together Looking at it, Grandpa seemed to reminisce
After so
“Grandpa obtained this while out on a journey when he was young It is called a wood scroll, and could only be found in major tribes It records the description of numerous plants and herbs Take it”
Su Ming received the wood scroll, and gave it a look of interest Wrapping his aroodbye to Grandpa and return to his place
It was then that Grandpa looked at Su Ming, his eyes shi+ning, his face severe
“Su Ming, Grandpa is happy that you could become a Mán-cultivator But you have to knohen you step into the realm of Mán-cultivators, you are different from ordinary tribesmen The path of Mán-cultivation is treacherous, life and death often hangs on a line You must had felt as such back at Black Flame Mountain”
“But us of the Mán, how can we fear death, or give up due to the precarious journey ahead?”
“Grandpa is aware of your dream You want to step out of this place, and take a look at the world outside Grandpa supports you in this!”
Su Ming listened without a word, nodding his head
“You are a filial child Grandpa has watched you over the years, I understands how you feel But Grandpa’s cultivation is li, nevermind if you didn’t becoive his all to make your journey a little easier…” Grandpa’s serious face revealed a s
“Come, sit before Grandpa, and circulate your blood as you do when cultivating”
Su Ming looked at Grandpa who gazed benignly at hih he knew he is not related to Grandpa by blood, such kinshi+p could transcend all else
“Grandpa…” Su Ming mumbled…
“Just come over” Grandpa said with a smile
Su Ming obediently ca down, he drew a deep breath and slowly circulated the blood qi in his body Gradually, six blood veins surfaced on his skin As the six veins euely be seen as it begins to coalesce
Su Ming could not foruely This was a result of his hidden injuries Now that he has been healed by Grandpa, the seventh vein naturally surfaced as he circulated his blood
“I was already ahen you obtained the Mán inheritance from the Mán stature To reach the third layer of blood condensation you will have to achieve eleven blood veins, while to reach the fourth layer of blood condensation you will need twenty-five blood veinsThe fifth layer will require fifty-three blood veins, and even more after that… … all the way until the eleventh layer of blood condensation, at that point, you should need about seven hundred and eighty-one blood veins But what most people don’t know is this number of blood veins required is not the same for everyone, this is just what the majority require There are those people who are able to increase the nu thee cultivator! Up till now, to the best of e, for the people who eventually become awakened cultivators, they had no less than nine hundred blood veins when they were in the blood condensation stage! For exaZhen Tribe’s Elder whom I have know for many years, the amount of blood veins he has is as many as nine hundred and seventeen! Grandpa had also heard that in soe sized tribes, there are even those blood condensation cultivators having more than nine hundred and thirty blood veins Such is the Mán’s blood condensation stage… … In the history of our the Mán people, there are e to at the blood condensation stage achieve nine hundred and ninety-nine blood veins, all of thems ended up as fae to obtain one thousand blood veins, it signifies the formation of a perfect blood condensationIt’s just that for such a perfect state, other than stories froo, it is extremely rare for such a person to appear, perhaps there hasn’t even been one since How it is like however, even Grandpa is too ignorant to know of” Grandpa’s voice see in Su Ming’s mind as he circulated his blood qi
“After blood condensation is the awakening stage Awakening e all of one’s blood veins into pure Mán blood, and draw a Mán tattoo that belongs to oneself The Mán tattoo is a reflection of one’s inner thoughts, desires… Grandpa awaits the day if you are to attain the awakening stage, and am curious as to what you will draw for your own Mán tattoo…”
