Chapter 91 Unknown Bloodline
"If you don’t mind me asking, how did you even get the curse in the first place?" Yuan suddenly asked Feng Yuxiang.
Hearing his question and recalling her history, Feng Yuxiang sighed in a depressed manner before speaking, "This is going to sound silly, but we phoenixes are born with extreme pride, but that pride sometimes turn into arrogance, and being the young phoenix I was back then, I’d accidentally offended someone I wasn’t supposed to, so that person cursed my bloodline, sealing my powers..."
Yuan stared at her with a dumbfounded expression. She had her powers sealed and her bloodline cursed just because she offended someone? Just what kind of person did she offend? And how powerful must this person be to curse a phoenix’s bloodline?
"At least you’re being honest," Yu Rou suddenly approached them and said.
"By the way, what are you going to do with that Phoenix’s Blood, brother?" she then asked him.
"I’m going to consume it, of course," he said.
"Eh? Why would Brother Yuan...?" Xiao Hua also approached them and looked at Yuan with a puzzled face. "Are you injured or sick somewhere, Brother Yuan?"
"N-No, not really," Yuan quickly shook his head.
"Then why do you need the Phoenix’s Blood, Brother Yuan?" Xiao Hua tilted her head in a puzzled manner. "If you are not injured then it’s about increasing your longevity... However, Brother Yuan is still very young and nowhere near his limit. He doesn’t need to use such a treasure to increase his longevity."
In Xiao Hua’s view, only Cultivators who have reached the end of their longevity and also the limit of their growth would require obtaining longevity from treasures, as that is the only way they can continue living.

"Well... It’s kind of complicated..." Yuan said with an awkward smile on his face. It was not as though he could tell them that he wanted to see whether the Phoenix’s Blood could heal his body in the real world, as that would make him sound crazy.
"By the way, Young Master, I have been wondering, what kind of bloodline do you have? If your blood can weaken that person’s curse, you must come from a powerful family that is even more powerful than that person, right?" Feng Yuxiang suddenly asked him.
"Bloodline...? But I don’t have any unique bloodline," Yuan said— at least that’s what his status says.
Yuan then opened his status to in case.
«Bloodline: None»
Indeed, he did not have any bloodline according to the system.
"That’s impossible, Young Master, for you to not have a powerful bloodline. Normal blood would not attract a Divine Beast such as myself, much less weaken the curse from a powerful Cultivator in the upper heavens," Feng Yuxiang said to him with a puzzled face.
"I don’t know what else to say since I really don’t have any special bloodline and I am not from some powerful family," Yuan said.
Feng Yuxiang became silent with a pondering expression on her face. A few moments later, she spoke, "Although I didn’t mention this before, my phoenix blood also has the ability to awaken bloodlines. In fact, all Divine Beasts have such ability. If you drink my blood, perhaps you will learn more about your bloodline. After all, not everyone is born with their bloodline awakened. Some must fulfill requirements or require assistance from treasures in order to awaken their bloodlines."
"Really?" Yuan raised his eyebrows. Perhaps that’s why the system cannot recognize his bloodline, as it has yet to awaken.
"Anyway, we’ll know whether I have a bloodline or not after I consume the phoenix blood. I just have to break the jade slip, right?" Yuan asked Feng Yuxiang.
"Allow me to help you, Young Master."
Yuan nodded and handed her the jade slip.
Feng Yuxiang then placed the jade slip above Yuan’s head and said, "Open your mouth, Young Master."
Yuan lifted his head and opened his mouth.
Feng Yuxiang then snapped the jade slip in half, and a single drop of golden blood escaped from the jade slip, falling directly into Yuan’s throat.
A few seconds later—

«You have gained 50,000 years of longevity from consuming Vermilion Phoenix Blood»

"Uhh..." Yuan looked at Feng Yuxiang afterward and said, "I think the Vermilion Phoenix Blood is too weak to awaken my Bloodline."
"What?! My blood is too weak?!" Feng Yuxiang exclaimed in a shocked voice.
"That’s outrageous! My blood has the capabilities to awaken all Bloodlines below the Divine-grade!"
However, Feng Yuxiang suddenly turned silent, and she continued a moment later, "Actually, that would make sense since your blood was able to weaken that person’s curse, so it’s not too far-fetched to say your Bloodline is above the Divine-grade..."
Feng Yuxiang looked at Yuan with a gaze of admiration and even a hint of fear within her eyes. People who are born with Bloodlines above the Divine-grade are too far and few in-between, and only extremely powerful families in the upper heavens have the capabilities to give birth to someone with such a powerful Bloodline. Just who is Yuan? What kind of powerful cultivation family is he from?
"Brother Yuan has a Bloodline that’s above Divine-grade?" Xiao Hua also looked at Yuan with wide eyes filled with shock. It has been a while since she felt this way— probably not ever since she first witnessed Yuan consuming monster cores.
While Feng Yuxiang and Xiao Hua stared at Yuan with dazed looks on their faces, Yu Rou spoke, "What are the grades for Bloodlines? Though, I can already imagine how powerful Divine-grade is just by its name..."
"There are many grades for Bloodlines. The lowest grade would be Royal-grade, then Imperial-grade, and finally, Divine-grade. Of course, there are still much more powerful Bloodlines that are above the Divine-grade such as the Ancient-grade, but you only see people with that kind of Bloodline in the upper heavens, not a small place such as the Lower Heavens," Feng Yuxiang explained.
"And since my Vermilion Phoenix Blood could not awaken the Young Master’s Bloodline, it means that his Bloodline is above the Divine-grade and too powerful for my blood to do anything."
"Then what could possibly awaken my Bloodline?" Yuan asked her out of curiosity.
"Well... There are plenty of Divine Beasts that can awaken Bloodlines above the Divine-grade, such as the Heavenly Dragon and the Star Tortoise, but you won’t find any of them in the Lower Heavens, as they only live in the upper heavens." Feng Yuxiang said.
"The upper heavens, huh," Yuan mumbled.
"Are you sure you’re not from some powerful cultivation family from the upper heavens, Young Master? After all, there’s simply no way an ordinary Cultivator would have such a powerful Bloodline— not even if they are the luckiest people in the world." Feng Yuxiang asked him again.
"Yes, I am sure." Yuan nodded.
"Hmm..." Feng Yuxiang narrowed her eyes at him. Of course, she didn’t fully believe him. But since Yuan didn’t want to tell her, she won’t continue asking, as she was afraid that it might anger him.
"Anyway, I still have to close down this store before I can leave this place. Can you spare me a few hours, Young Master?" Feng Yuxiang asked him afterward.
"Go ahead, we’ll be here." Yuan nodded.
"Thank you, Young Master! Then I’ll try to get this over with as soon as possible!" Feng Yuxiang then left the room and began closing the store down.
Meanwhile, Yuan said to Yu Rou, "Yu Rou, don’t you have piano lessons to attend to today?"
Yu Rou shook her head and said, "No, there are no lessons on Sundays. However, I still have to cook you breakfast, so I’ll do that now."
"Okay," Yuan nodded.
After Yu Rou logged off to prepare breakfast, Xiao Hua suddenly spoke, "Brother Yuan, can we really trust that woman?" NôvelDrama.Org: owner of this content.
"Feng Feng? I think so," he nodded with a calm expression. "Why? Do you not trust her?"
"Well... she has done some unfavorable things..." Xiao Hua said.
"I guess her first impression isn’t exactly the best. However, I can feel that she’s not a bad person at heart, just like you, Xiao Hua." Yuan said with a smile on his face, causing her to blush.
"Like Xiao Hua?" she mumbled.
"That’s right. It’s hard to explain it, but I can somehow tell whether someone is a good person or a bad person just by their aura— it’s something that has been with me since I was young. While I haven’t been around people for many years now, my ability still remains," Yuan said.
After a moment of silence, Xiao Hua nodded and said, "Since Brother Yuan trusts that bird, Xiao Hua will also believe in her. As for Brother Yuan’s Bloodline, Xiao Hua will think of something."
"Thank you, Xiao Hua." Yuan said to her, and he continued, "Anyway, I will also log off for now. If Feng Feng returns before I do, just let her know that I will be back later."
Xiao Hua nodded, and Yuan logged off the next second with his heart throbbing with excitement, as he was impatient to see whether the Vermilion Phoenix Blood had affected his body in the real world just like the Translucent Dew of Flawlessness had.
