Chapter 513: Plans for Xiao Yu, the Dou Saint Skeleton
"The Bloodline Restoration Pill?"
Hearing this, Mo Yu was momentarily stunned, then looked at Xiao Yan and softly asked, "What does this pill do?"
Xiao Yan pressed his lips together before explaining, "It's said that in ancient times, there were some powerful human bloodline clans. These bloodline clans were similar to the magical beast clans in the Beast Region. Not only was their powerful bloodline passed down through generations, but the strength of the bloodline also varied in degree. Those with higher-level bloodlines had greater potential and could achieve more extraordinary accomplishments. To enhance their bloodline and even reach a level comparable to their ancestors, some powerful bloodline holders created this eighth-tier pill, the 'Bloodline Restoration Pill.'
"This pill can greatly stimulate the potential of the bloodline within a person. Though it's hard to fully match the ancestors, it can still be incredibly beneficial. It's said that in ancient times, one powerful individual with only a faint trace of ancestral blood consumed the Bloodline Restoration Pill and, overnight, changed their fate. Their strength surged, and they became one of the continent's top experts."
Upon hearing this, Mo Yu raised an eyebrow. The bloodline clans Xiao Yan mentioned were undoubtedly the Dou Emperor clans. However, given Xiao Yan's current strength, he hadn't yet reached the level to understand the imperial clans fully.
With this in mind, Mo Yu looked thoughtfully at the small pill beast in Qing Lin's arms. He was skeptical about whether the Bloodline Restoration Pill could genuinely elevate someone's bloodline to the level of their ancestors. If it truly had such effects, then Xiao Xuan, the ancestor of the Xiao Clan, wouldn't have needed to go to such great lengths to absorb the entire clan's bloodline to break through to the Dou Emperor level. Even with the resources of the once-glorious Xiao Clan, they could have easily gathered the materials to craft a Bloodline Restoration Pill with the help of the Medicine Clan's leader.
Though the pill's effects seemed exaggerated, it was still an eighth-tier pill that had survived the Eight-Colored Pill Lightning, meaning it was undoubtedly extraordinary, nearing the level of a ninth-tier divine pill. Such a pill was bound to have miraculous, almost divine, effects.
However, Mo Yu wasn't interested in the pill for his own use. With his powerful Heavenly Thunder Body, he didn't care much about his faint Dou Emperor bloodline from the Lei Clan. His real intention was to use this pill to help Xiao Yu.
As his first wife, Xiao Yu's talent paled in comparison to the other women in Mo Yu's life. Even within the Jia Nan Academy, she wasn't particularly outstanding, let alone when compared to exceptional individuals like Cai Lin, Xiao Yi Xian, Qing Lin, or Yun Yun, all of whom were among the top talents on the Dou Qi continent.
According to Xiao Li, despite the ample resources of Yuan Palace, Xiao Yu's strength had only recently reached the Dou King level, which was quite ordinary in the Central Plains. As Mo Yu's main wife, being constantly surpassed by the other women must have put her in a difficult position, even though she wasn't the type to be petty or jealous.
Mo Yu understood this and wanted to help Xiao Yu resolve the issue. The best way to do so was to enhance her talent, and the simplest and most effective method would be to strengthen the Dou Emperor bloodline within her.
The Xiao Clan, once a Dou Emperor family, still carried traces of the bloodline, even though it had thinned over time. But, like a dried-up well, once new water was poured in, its brilliance could be revived.
In the original story, Xiao Yan had received the Xiao Clan's bloodline inheritance in the Heavenly Tomb, which laid the foundation for his eventual breakthrough to the Dou Emperor level. The Bloodline Restoration Pill, formed under the Eight-Colored Pill Lightning, would be a similarly powerful method for Xiao Yu to strengthen her bloodline.
Of course, Mo Yu wouldn't have Xiao Yu take the pill right away. Her bloodline was so weak that taking it now might only marginally improve her abilities, but it wouldn't change her fate. Mo Yu planned to wait until the Xiao Clan's Heavenly Tomb opened in the future. If Xiao Yu could receive the bloodline inheritance of a powerful Xiao Clan ancestor, then, with the help of the Bloodline Restoration Pill, she could achieve the best possible outcome.
At that point, Xiao Yu might be able to change her destiny in one fell swoop, standing shoulder-to-shoulder with talents like Xiao Yi Xian and Qing Lin, and becoming Mo Yu's rightful main wife!
While Mo Yu had all these thoughts, only a moment had passed in the real world.
Having made up his mind to use the pill beast to enhance Xiao Yu's Dou Emperor bloodline, Mo Yu smiled slightly, then turned to Xiao Yan and said, "Cousin Xiao Yan, I'm very interested in this pill beast. Would you be willing to part with it?"
Xiao Yan was momentarily stunned but quickly smiled and waved his hand. "You're too kind, cousin Mo Yu. If you want it, I wouldn't compete with you for it. Besides, Qing Lin found it first, so you don't even need my approval."
Hearing this, Mo Yu smiled faintly. There was no need to ask for Qing Lin's permission—after all, she belonged to him.
"Since you're willing to part with it, I thank you in advance," Mo Yu said, cupping his hands toward Xiao Yan in gratitude.
Xiao Yan quickly scratched his head, humbly dismissing the thanks.
After some conversation, everyone's attention returned to the small, snow-white pill beast.
"Should Qing Lin put it away for now?" Xiao Yi Xian suggested.
Hearing this, Xiao Yan, as an experienced alchemist, pondered for a moment and said, "Though this pill beast doesn't emit energy, experienced experts and alchemists might still smell its unique pill fragrance and guess its true identity. To avoid unnecessary trouble, it's best to seal it."
As soon as Xiao Yan said this, the snow-white little beast seemed to understand. It quickly shook its head, its large eyes welling up with tears as it clung to Qing Lin's clothes, clearly unhappy about being sealed.
"Well, I'll take care of it," Xiao Yi Xian suddenly offered with a light cough. Her bright eyes were fixed on the cute little creature, clearly unable to resist its charm.
"Women and their love for fluffy things," Mo Yu remarked with a smile, shaking his head.
Qing Lin smiled and handed the little beast to Xiao Yi Xian. The creature hesitated briefly but then darted into Xiao Yi Xian's arms, snuggling its furry head against her, making her giggle.
Seeing this scene, Mo Yu's mouth twitched slightly. Could this pill beast be male?
Taking the pill beast, Xiao Yi Xian infused her fingertips with energy, quickly tapping various points on the little creature's body. A faint energy web appeared, adhering to its fur. As the energy settled, the beast's enticing pill fragrance vanished entirely. Now, it looked like an ordinary little animal, and no one would be able to recognize its true nature.
Satisfied, Mo Yu turned to Qing Lin. "Put your bodyguards away, too."
Qing Lin nodded. Her eyes flashed with green light, and the many bodyguards vanished, reabsorbed into the green glow in her pupils.
Seeing this remarkable ability, Mo Yu wasn't surprised, but Xiao Yan and his companions were left speechless with amazement.
"The Green Snake Three-Flower Pupils can create their own space within the eyes. Anything I control can be stored there, though there's a limit that increases as my strength grows," Qing Lin explained with a smile.
"However, the strength of the snake-type magical beasts I control will gradually weaken, as the pupils absorb their energy and feed it back to me. But this process is slow, and with my current strength, I can only control up to three Dou Zuns below the three-star level."
Hearing this, Xiao Yan, the Heaven Burning Flame Master, and the others were all deeply impressed.
Seeing their astonished expressions, Mo Yu waved his hand dismissively. "Her ability is innate. It's nothing to be jealous of. Let's move on to the main hall. If we're too late, the treasures will be gone."
The others nodded, put away their feelings of admiration, and left the secluded pill room after a brief rest.
The ancient ruins were far more complex than Mo Yu had expected, but after about ten minutes, their path suddenly opened up.
Ahead of them, a massive ancient hall finally came into view.
The entire hall was copper-yellow, its color deepened by countless years. The ancient aura that emanated from every stone slab gave the place a weighty, timeless feel, as if it had been dormant for eons.
The hall was vast, and people inside seemed as small as ants. In the center of the hall, ten giant spheres of light floated in mid-air. Faintly visible within the dazzling orbs were scroll-like objects.
Mo Yu's gaze swept across the light spheres, which emanated a strange, oppressive power. Then, his eyes suddenly stopped on the center of the ten light spheres.
There, a stone seat held a jade-white skeleton, seated cross-legged with its hands forming a seal.
"A Dou Saint's skeleton," Mo Yu muttered, his brow furrowing slightly. Though it was only a skeleton, the ancient pressure that radiated from it was overwhelming, making him feel as if he were under the weight of a thousand tons.
"This is the main hall of the ruins," Qing Lin whispered.
Mo Yu nodded slightly, shifting his gaze from the light spheres and skeleton to the spacious center of the hall.
There, many powerful figures were already standing, each radiating a formidable aura. Among them, Mo Yu once again spotted Feng Qing'er and her group.
However, as Mo Yu's gaze fell on them, Feng Qing'er also noticed him. Her beautiful face instantly showed a flash of terror.
Clearly, the earlier encounter had left a deep impression on her.
Mo Yu simply shook his head disdainfully and turned his attention back to the Dou Saint's skeleton.
He wasn't particularly interested in the heavenly skills, but the Dou Saint's skeleton had given him an idea about Qing Zhi.
As a puppet, Qing Zhi had developed some intelligence, but it was extremely difficult for him to train and improve his strength like a human.
Over the years, Qing Zhi had remained a one-star Dou Zun.
Years ago, that level of strength had been a valuable asset to Mo Yu, but as Mo Yu's strength grew and Yuan Palace expanded, Qing Zhi's power became less significant.
As a loyal servant, Mo Yu naturally wanted to help Qing Zhi improve.
The Dou Saint's skeleton could be the perfect opportunity.
The skeleton was incredibly well-preserved. If Qing Zhi's body could be modified using the Dou Saint's skeleton, perhaps he could reach the Half-Saint level?
For most people, modifying a body like this would be impossible. But Qing Zhi was a puppet, so it wasn't out of the question.
If Qing Zhi really did become a Half-Saint, Yuan Palace's strength would skyrocket once again!
"It seems I'll need to snatch that skeleton."
Mo Yu's eyes flashed with determination. His mind was set on claiming the skeleton.
While the seals on the light spheres remained unbroken, more and more powerful individuals and factions arrived at the hall.
As more people gathered, the atmosphere inside the hall grew increasingly tense.
Everyone knew that soon, the person they had just exchanged greetings with might turn into an enemy willing to kill for the treasures.
After all, in the face of great wealth, even family bonds could fracture, let alone the shallow friendships held by many here.
In this tense atmosphere, small groups of familiar factions and powerful individuals began quietly forming alliances.
In such a chaotic place, no single person could secure the treasures on their own.
Swoosh, swoosh!
Figures continued streaming into the hall, but despite the growing crowd, a tense silence persisted. The oppressive mood caused many to sweat nervously, their Dou Qi ready to burst at any moment.
While most were on edge, Mo Yu remained calm, his hands tucked into his sleeves. Though his eyes were closed, his spiritual senses enveloped the entire hall.
Oddly, Mo Yu hadn't sensed any Soul Palace experts so far. Could they really have no interest in these ancient ruins?
"Could it be my butterfly effect at work?"
Just as Mo Yu was pondering this, his eyebrows twitched, and he suddenly opened his eyes.
At that moment, a strange, eerie laugh echoed throughout the hall, as if coming from both near and far. It resonated like sharp sound waves.
"Hehe, it seems we aren't too late after all."
Two figures appeared, dressed in simple black and white robes. Their distinct colors made them easily recognizable, and their faces were twisted with sinister expressions.
However, the powerful aura emanating from their bodies proved that they were not to be trifled with.
Seeing these two, a cold smile appeared on Mo Yu's lips.
"Oh, it's the Black and White Celestial Lords, two six-star Dou Zuns..."
