Fusing the Bloodline
In a daze.
Su Bai felt as if he were standing shoulder to shoulder with the over two-zhang-tall Merfolk Third Prince Cang Mingxiao.
Under the influence of alcohol, he even went to Imperial Consort Cang Mingyue and did something.
But the image was already very blurry.
Then my Consciousness went dark.
"Hiss."
Su Bai slowly woke up.
The view inside was of the Pavilion room in the Merfolk Race's settlement.
Lan Yan was fast asleep on another bed.
Su Bai circulated his Spiritual Power, and the remaining effects of the alcohol in his body were completely neutralized.
He cast a [Spring Return Spell] on himself, and instantly regained his clarity.
I have a feeling I did something bad yesterday.
"Why can't you remember?"
"This wine is terrifying; it can cause cultivators to black out and lose their memories. I absolutely must never drink it again."
Su Bai glanced at Lan Yan, who was fast asleep beside him, and then focused his attention on himself.
The multiple prompts from [Immortal Talent Reflection] still lingered in my mind.
[Copy successful. Target Bloodline Talent Copy: Tidal Song Sacred Vein (Ancient Tier Merfolk Bloodline).]
[It has been detected that direct fusion with this Bloodline will conflict with the original Human Race Bloodline. Fusion may alter the original's appearance and aura. Therefore, fusion options are provided for selection.]
[Option 1: Complete fusion with Merfolk Bloodline as the primary element (appearance as close as possible to Merfolk)]
[Option Two: Fusion based on Human Race Bloodline. (Retain 30% of the Merfolk appearance, discard some Merfolk Bloodline Divine Ability)]
[Option 3: Select corresponding body organs for partial fusion (maintain Human Race appearance under normal conditions, retain 70% of the physical enhancement strength during Bloodline strengthening, and abandon most of the Merfolk Bloodline Divine Ability)]
After reading the prompt, Su Bai pondered for a moment and decisively chose option three.
As Human Race cultivator, Su Bai naturally did not want to choose the Demon Race form when he had no other choice.
Option three, although it sacrifices 30% of physical enhancement.
They also abandoned most of the supernatural powers of the Merfolk Bloodline Divine Ability.
But at least under normal circumstances, they can remain indistinguishable from Human Race, thus making them not much different from Body Cultivator.
In this way, Su Bai can also integrate normally into the Human Race Cultivation World.
That way, they won't be mistaken for Demon Race and forced to leave the Human Race cultivation world forever.
[Please select organs to be fused: heart, both ears, both hands, both feet.]
[Choosing the corresponding organ will influence the Bloodline Divine Ability that will be activated later as the Bloodline is strengthened.]
"Do organs correspond to Bloodline Divine Ability?"
"Among the Divine Ability of the Merfolk Race, their most famous should be their detection-type Divine Ability."
"The Merfolk Race's detection Divine Ability are extremely terrifying in the sea, and later, with the addition of their Bloodline, they possess various other extraordinary abilities."
Su Bai had once heard a story about a Human Race leader who was suspected of being possessed by an Outer Realm Heavenly Demon. Ultimately, it was the Merfolk Race's detection Divine Ability that revealed that he was no longer a human soul, and he was successfully eliminated.
Its probing Divine Ability reach such a profound level that it can Survey the soul!
The essence of the Merfolk Race's detection Divine Ability undoubtedly lies in his ears.
Therefore, after careful consideration, Su Bai chose to fuse the organs into both ears.
Buzz.
A Dark Azure glowing blood rose from Su Bai's Method Formula within his body.
"Is this the manifestation of Ancient Tier Bloodline?"
As he murmured, it split in two and drifted into Su Bai's ears.
Su Bai felt his ears begin to burn intensely.
The next moment, a sudden sobbing sound rang in his ears.
The scene before Su Bai's eyes shifted rapidly, the seawater seemed to be hanging upside down, his body felt as if it had fallen into a bottomless abyss, his lungs filled with a salty liquid, yet strangely he could still breathe.
A shattered underwater palace floats in the depths of Consciousness, while ancient Merfolk clad in coral armor sweep past, their scales peeling away to form words—[Tidal Sound Pulse Hearing]—greatly enhancing underwater perception...
[Whale Song Illusion Breaker] can decipher enemy whispers and perceive the secrets of all things...
[Abyssal Vortex Soul Listener] releases a special wave energy that penetrates objects, drawing the outline of the target's soul based on the echo, and distinguishing between genuine and fake...
[Ruins Echo]???
From the edge of memory came the Guixu Admonition the Void: "Having inherited the Cang Ming Blood, one must Ruins Tribulation."
Buzz.
Everything has returned to normal.
Aside from Su Bai's open, pale blue ears and his body that suddenly became extremely powerful.
Su Bai controlled the convergence of his Bloodline Power, and his ears gradually returned to normal, but the sense of power in his physical body did not disappear.
"Impressive. It's only the initial fusion, and the development hasn't even begun yet, but the body's strength has already increased by at least 50%."
"During the Bloodline fusion, many Survey Divine Ability flashed through my mind. These should all be Divine Ability I will be able to comprehend in the future, but I haven't activated the Bloodline Divine Ability yet. The Bloodline still needs further development and strengthening."
The Demon Race has its own methods to strengthen its Bloodline, and Su Bai's method is naturally to take Spirit Pills.
Before Lan Yan wakes up...
Su Bai took out a Primordial Chaos Pill he had refined himself and put it in his mouth.
The Primordial Chaos Pill transformed into Demon Power and dissolved within Su Bai's body. This time, Su Bai restrained his Spiritual Power and instead used the Bloodline Power in his ears to absorb the medicinal effects.
A faint Primordial Chaos Pill force emanated from both ears, drawing the medicinal power of the Primordial Chaos Pill into them, allowing them to slowly absorb its effects.
"The Bloodline has been Copy, but its Bloodline Development Degree is too low; it needs to absorb the medicinal power slowly."
"One Primordial Chaos Pill is enough for a newly developing Bloodline to absorb for a long time."
"It will probably take some time before we can truly rely on the Bloodline Power to form a certain level of Combat Power."
"However, it can Copy and mastered; sooner or later it will become its own Combat Power."
Su Bai looked at the Storage Bag; the two Fifth-tier Spirit Medicine were still inside.
"We still need to go to Demon Star City."
Su Bai approached Lan Yan and cast Spring Return Spell, which quickly and slowly brought Lan Yan back to consciousness.
"Ah!?"
"What's wrong?!"
"What am I doing...?"
Lan Yan scrambled to his feet and was shocked to discover that he had lost a part of his memory.
He showed the same lingering fear as Su Bai: "Lu Jiu, this wine is truly terrifying, practically no different from a poison pill. We must never drink it again!"
Su Bai patted his Storage Bag and took out two Jade Box containing the spirit medicine.
"Stop talking about how scary or not scary, have you forgotten the purpose of our trip?"
"The Third Prince only found two Fifth-tier Spirit Medicine."
"The Great Void Origin Returning Fruit has not yet been found."
"Ah? What should we do?" Lan Yan was at a loss. He had gotten completely drunk after drinking that basin of water yesterday and had no idea what happened afterward.
Therefore, we naturally did not see the scene where Cang Mingxiao gave Su Bai two spirit medicine.
"Take these two spirit medicine and return to the Pill Pavilion Secret Realm first, to give your Master and the two Vice Pavilion Master an explanation."
"I'll stay in Sea Star City and think of a way to find the Great Void Origin Returning Fruit and bring it back," Su Bai said.
This time, Su Bai finally understood completely that the Third Prince's banquet was simply a ploy to silence him and Lan Yan.
As the future heir of the prestigious Merfolk Race, his status within the Demon Race is also quite high. The Demon Race controls most of the Spirit Plain of the Demon Star Sea. If he can't find it, then the Great Void Origin Returning Fruit probably doesn't even exist in the Demon Star Sea.
Although the Great Void Origin Returning Fruit is rare, it can still be found by searching the Demon Star Sea.
The real reason is probably related to the information Su Bai found out. Because of the Merman Priest, the Third Prince Cang Mingxiao dared not help the Human Race too much.
After all, he is only one of the heirs, not yet the one who has ascended the throne.
