Chapter 101: Not Unworthy of This Life

Lin Yemao lay completely naked on a long stone slab. His hands and feet were tied using beast muscles that had been soaked in medicine.

He gazed at Su Chen with a face full of fear. Different words like “rabbits1”, “husband”, and “ass in danger 2” all flashed through his mind.

However, he was evidently thinking too much.

Su Chen was not at all interested in his butt.

On the other side, a workbench had already been set up.

That was Ulrich’s workbench. Su Chen had moved it here after taking it away with him. Its surface was covered in vials and pots that Ulrich had used before.

At this moment, Su Chen was busy using the workbench.

He was testing out one of Ulrich’s recipes for making a kind of medicine.

Su Chen slowly poured a blue medicinal fluid from a beaker into a vial that he had prepared. Instantly, a fog began to rise, and the blue medicinal fluid became green and began to bubble just like a boiling poisonous liquid.

“Who knew that Blue Concealed Grass and Three Flower Extract actually react in such a way. How interesting,” Su Chen muttered to himself.

As he spoke to himself, he brought the liquid in his hand over to Lin Yemao, then forcefully opened his mouth.

‘He wants to poison me to death!’ Lin Yemao thought, panicked.

Unfortunately, it was useless to resist no matter how hard he tried. The liquid entered Lin Yemao’s body, and he instantly felt his insides heat up, as if there was something that had started to burn inside of him.

“NO!” he yelled loudly.

“Don’t worry, it’s not a poison,” Su Chen said. “It’s just a kind of bloodline activation medicine.

Bloodline activation medicine?

What did that mean? Lin Yemao didn’t understand.

“It’s a type of failed bloodline activation medicine,” Su Chen said. “The person who invented it had a unique train of thought. He reckoned that the many common beast races are the descendants of ancient, powerful Origin Beasts. However, because of environmental changes, the beast races became weaker and weaker. Nonetheless, he believed that , deep down their bloodlines still possessed a great power. Thus, he hoped that he could develop a medicine that could catalyze this power……”

“What use would that have?” Lin Yemao asked with surprise. The heat in his body continued, but Lin Yemao was no longer as scared.

Su Chen replied, “Simple. That way, he could obtain a powerful bloodline…… The person who invented this medicine’s strength was actually quite weak. He was roughly as powerful as you or I.”

Passing down bloodlines was actually a very contradictory matter.

On the one hand, bloodlines could only be obtained once, so naturally the more powerful one’s bloodline was, the better. On the other hand, however, the more powerful one’s bloodline was, the harder it was to obtain. Many people simply had no way of obtaining such powerful bloodline’s in their entire lifetimes by their own efforts.

Under these circumstances, in order to obtain exceptional bloodline medicines, people thought of all kinds of ideas.

To most people, accumulating riches to buy bloodline medicines from those more capable was the best decision. For instance, Lin Yemao had relied on his clan to obtain an exceptional bloodline, which was quite a reasonable decision.

However, some people did not abstain from the more daring kinds of practices.

Ulrich was one such person.

As a member of the Arcana Race, he was not allowed to see the light of day ever since he was born, else he would’ve been hunted. He had no way of buying a bloodline, so he could only depend on his own ability to obtain it.

Ulrich did not want any low-tier bloodlines.

Because he was unwilling to remain ordinary, he wanted to discover a path that belonged to him, one that was unique to the Arcana Race.

His thoughts were along the line of ‘Since I don’t have the strength to catch powerful Demonic Beasts and extract their bloodline, then I will activate the powerful ancestral bloodlines of weaker Vicious Beasts and use that for myself.’

Under these kinds of circumstances, he developed this kind of ancestral medicine.

“Unfortunately, he still failed in the end,” Su Chen sighed. “Although his thought process was very good, his plan was too ambitious, and he alone had no way of making that a reality.”

When Lin Yemao heard that, his heart jumped. “You’re telling me that this medicine is……”

“This is a failed ancestral medicine,” Su Chen replied. “It has no way of awakening a bloodline that is asleep. All that it can do is cause one’s bloodline power to boil and expand..”

“No!” Lin Yemao yelled with fear.

In the Qi Drawing Realm, one’s manifestation of a bloodline power was limited. If one’s bloodline boiled too much, neither the bloodline nor the physical body would be able to withstand it and would result in severe side effects. People afflicted with serious cases could even die.

“Don’t worry, it won’t kill you. I just want to see how the Soaring Serpent Bloodline moves through your body.” Su Chen clearly stated his goal.

His goal really was to observe and study the Soaring Serpent Bloodline.

From his first interaction with Gu Qingluo to his accidental step in midair, Su Chen felt a hope that he could not suppress. Could mankind possibly perform the upper tiers of a bloodline Origin Skill without the support of a bloodline?
