C37 Four Main Bloodlines Were Opened

Chang Wenjun's eyes sparkled with envy. Level 3 Pills were a rarity in all of Renzhong City.

Yet, his elder brother had managed to procure a bounty of them, propelling their Third Brother into the late stages of the Mortal Rank.

With an ingratiating smile, Chang Wenjun said, "Your own talent plays a part, too. You're teetering on the edge of lower-grade fourth level, nearly at the third. The pills big brother sent are a significant boon for you."

Chang Wenhua offered no objection, but remarked, "No need for envy. I've already reached the late Mortal Rank. Soon enough, all the Level 2 and 3 Pills big brother has will be yours, and it won't be long before you join me in the late Mortal Rank."

"I'm in need of a Level 4 Pill now."

"If I can secure more Human Origin Fruits from the City Lord during the Family Trials, I'll swiftly ascend to the Human Rank."

"The Mystic Sect's resources run deep. Here, the Level 2 and 3 Pills we consider rare are practically worthless there."

"It's unfortunate that big brother can't procure Level 5 Pills, or else our Chang family..."

"Big brother's tenure in the Mystic Sect has been brief; his status is middling. With more clout, he'd surely acquire a trove of Level 5 Pills."

"The Han family, those fools, think they can join the Mystic Sect in half a year? Pure fantasy!"

"As long as big brother remains in the Mystic Sect, the Han family can kiss any hopes of entry goodbye."

"In six months, the Mystic Sect Elder coming to Renzhong City for assessments is big brother's master. Then..."

Chang Wenhua's face twisted into a cold smirk.

Upon learning the Level 2 and 3 Pills would soon be his, Chang Wenjun's cheeks turned a triumphant red. He declared vehemently, "Third Brother, we must eliminate Han Feng of the Han family during this trial!"

Chang Wenhua's eyebrow quirked. "That waste of space? Why bother with him?"

Chang Wenjun's expression hardened as he relayed the previous events. Chang Wenhua responded coolly, "I see."

"You can't even best a worthless opponent; that's truly disappointing."

"With the aid of so many pills, it's highly likely you'll advance to the fifth or even the sixth Main Bloodline during the Family Trials. Then you can seek vengeance on your own. Han Feng is beneath my notice; my sights are set on Han Rou from the Han family."

"If possible, making her my foot-washing slave wouldn't be a bad idea."

Chang Wenjun snickered, "Such a beauty. You're in for a treat."

A sinister grin spread across Chang Wenhua's face.

At the Han family estate, Han Yongxing and Lin Yue were delivering the day's reports in the grand hall.

Hearing that Han Feng had clinched first place, surpassing even Han Lin's strength, Han Yu nearly cheered aloud.

The other Elders wore expressions of astonishment, exchanging excited glances with Han Yongxing.

Han Yu kept his elation in check, focusing on Han Yongxing's briefing.

But upon learning of certain developments within the Chang family, Han Yu's face darkened considerably.

A wave of anxiety swept through the Elders.

Taking a deep breath, Han Yu spoke gravely, "The Chang family has kept a deep cover. It's no wonder talents from the Hong family and other Renzhong City clans have been vanishing without a trace. It appears the Chang family is to blame."

"Their concealed strength is alarmingly formidable. Great Elder, we need to strategize a defense against the Chang family."

The Great Elder's expression was somber. "The Family Head is correct. Had Han Lin not escaped today, our Han family's fate would have been sealed without our knowledge."

Han Yu let out a sigh, "Once the Mystic Sect returns to Renzhong City in six months to select disciples, if the Han family is chosen, our worries will be over."

The Great Elder and the other Elders nodded in agreement.

In his room.

Han Feng stepped into the first layer of the Nine Flames Exotic Flame, persisting in the refinement of the residual origin fluid.

His Internal Strength, having breached three Main Bloodlines, continued to rise steadily.

After a while, Han Feng's eyes flickered open, his spirit undiminished, "My remaining origin fluid is running low. To further my advancement, I need to refine more lower-grade Spirit Stones."

"Unfortunately, I'm currently at the first level of the Nine Flames And Strange Fire Art and haven't reached the peak yet. I'm still unable to refine lower-class, lower-grade Spirit Stones with 90% purity."

"Thankfully, I have a Level 3 Devil Core at my disposal."

"Once I break through the fourth main bloodline, I'll be able to use mortal fire to refine the Level 3 Devil Core."

"The energy contained within the Level 3 Devil Core is immense. Allocating just half of it will be enough to bring my Nine Flames And Strange Fire Art to the peak of the first level."

"The other half will more than suffice for my breakthrough."

"Now I can proceed to refine the remaining lower-class, lower-grade Spirit Stones and further enhance my strength."

With his cultivation plan set for the coming days, Han Feng settled into his practice.

Three days later, Han Feng's internal strength reached the peak limit of three main bloodlines.

Within half a day, he had transformed the Level 2 Pill into origin fluid and began to ingest it.

The crimson origin fluid flowed into him, becoming a continuous surge of vast energy. Before long, Han Feng effortlessly advanced to the fourth main bloodline.

Yet, there was still plenty of energy left from the Level 2 Pill's origin fluid. Seeing this, Han Feng naturally seized the opportunity to continue his cultivation.

Time slipped by, and a day swiftly passed. It was nearly time to officially determine the ten participants for the Family Trials.

That day, Han Feng not only solidified his mastery over the four main bloodlines but also neared the peak of their power.

This achievement was all thanks to the Level 2 Pill, whose full potential had been tapped.

For the average person, taking a Level 2 Pill while at the peak of three main bloodlines might at best allow them to break through to the fourth and gain some stability. Reaching the peak of the fourth main bloodline's power, as Han Feng did, would be out of the question.

The following day, Han Feng returned to the training field.

Instructor Lin surveyed Han Feng and the nine others, nodding with approval. "Good work, you've all made significant progress."

Despite his previous encounters with Han Feng, Instructor Lin remained unable to fully discern his capabilities. Yet, given their history, he was convinced that Han Feng had achieved another breakthrough.

Among the ten, Han Lin's aura was noticeably erratic, clearly indicating he had advanced to the fifth Main Bloodline, though it had yet to stabilize.

Han Feng quickly pieced it together. Han Lin's prior cultivation hadn't peaked at the fourth Main Bloodline; otherwise, his progress to the fifth wouldn't be this shaky.

Elsewhere, Han Rong had smoothly transitioned to the third Main Bloodline and had considerably steadied it. Han Zheng was at the cusp of the second Main Bloodline's peak, poised to break through soon even without the aid of a Pill.

Others, like Han Lieh, had ascended to the second Main Bloodline, and those who were previously at the peak of the first had also made successful breakthroughs.

In essence, all ten were now cultivating at or above the second Main Bloodline.

Han Lin nudged Han Feng, his voice tinged with intrigue, "What's your current level of cultivation? Don't tell me you haven't made a breakthrough!"

Han Feng offered a slight smile. "And what if I haven't?"

Han Lin scoffed with disdain. "Give me a break. You think I'm a fool? You've already tricked me once; do you really think I'd fall for it again?"

"If you haven't made a breakthrough, I'll drink my own pee!"
