The Remarkable Effects of Bloodline Worms (Bonus Chapter for 'leo627')

The three legends clearly understood something, but only Rein was completely bewildered.

He asked timidly, "What's wrong? Is there something wrong with my meridians?"

Canossa laughed and said, "It's more than just a problem. The resilience of your meridians is now beyond my detection limits."

Rein didn't understand, nor did he know what it meant, and asked again, "Ah, is this good or bad?"

"Of course it's a good thing."

Canossa glanced at Rein with a slightly complicated look, and explained with a smile, "Your meridians are extremely strong now, which means that your meridians can withstand several times, or even more, the amount of battle qi of a Transcendent being of the same level."

Rein was still completely confused. "Huh, what's the benefit of this?"

Seeing his clueless look, Bazel said irritably, "The advantage is that if you suppress your cultivation every time you advance until you can't take it anymore, then when you finally reach the High-tier Extraordinary realm, your battle qi might be several times, even dozens of times, greater than others of your level!"

"Strengthening your meridians has these benefits?!"

Upon hearing this, Rein finally understood!

Generally speaking, when one advances to a higher level from the Transcendent, the increase in Battle Qi is 3 to 5 times that of the previous level!

Assuming First Tier [Awakened] has a maximum battle qi unit of 100, they have reached the point of overflowing battle qi. Then, when they advance to the Second Tier, their battle qi limit might be in the range of 300-500.

The next Third Tier also involve increases of 3 to 5 times.

That First Tier 100 value is roughly the limit that an ordinary person's meridians can withstand. Even if one suppresses their cultivation level and doesn't advance, their meridians can no longer absorb or withstand any more battle qi.

However, even a Fifth-tier Expert couldn't test the upper limit of Rein's current meridian resilience, which also meant that he could accumulate more than 100 points of the ordinary limit at the First Tier, or even reach 200 or 300 points.

If Rein has 200 battle qi, and then advances to the Second Tier, then his battle qi will be in the range of 600-1000, which is twice that of other players of the same tier!

In the Third Tier, Fourth Tier, and fifth orders.

This gap will increase exponentially, theoretically reaching several times or even dozens of times that of those of Transcendent of the same level.

However, the amount of battle qi is not only limited by the strength of the meridians, but also by other factors. And because there are no precedents to follow, the three legends dare not say what level Rein will ultimately reach.

But it's definitely many times more robust than other weapons of the same level.

(Note: This example comparison is based on ideal conditions of the same potion, same talent, and same Cultivation Method; there is no upper limit to the resilience of meridians, and other factors also limit the amount of battle qi, so it will not be infinite;)

"So, kid, focus on cultivating your battle qi now, and don't rush to advance. Only advance to the Third Tier [Demon Hunter] when you feel your body can't take it anymore. Although this might affect your advancement speed to some extent, you will eventually gain several times the battle qi of Transcendent being of the same tier."

As he spoke, Bazel grinned, as if taking a bite of lemon, and said, "Hey, I'm a little envious of you. If I hadn't already advanced to Legendary level and been two hundred years younger, even at the risk of being drained dry, I'd be planning to try your method."

Canossa laughed and said, "Even with the 'Bloodline Worms,' we can't find another 'Moroshir King Flower' with such terrifying vitality to absorb."

Mafat, standing to the side, was also filled with relief and unusually took the initiative to speak, "Young friend Rein, now that you have the [Thunder Totem], your cultivation speed won't be slow. So, you don't need to worry too much about the speed of your Transcendent advancement."

After a pause, a hint of anticipation flashed in the Great Shaman's eyes as he said, "I'm really looking forward to seeing how much you'll grow in the future."

Having said that, Rein roughly understood the benefits of having strong meridians.

He also began to understand why people in ancient times would choose this method to induce insects into their bodies.

Battle aura is one of the most important factors determining the strength of a Transcendent. He could already foresee how much benefit his exaggeratedly high battle aura would bring him in the future.

Moreover, the more fighting spirit Rein possesses, the more prominent his other advantage becomes.

That's the number of "Gang Line"!

[Thread Needle Thread] The number of Gang Line that can be condensed in the body is directly proportional to the amount of fighting energy.

As far as First Tier [Awakened] is concerned, Rein's battle aura is about the same as that of Transcendent who has advanced from a regular Golden Potion. His limit is probably only about ten battle Gang Line.

Second Tier battle qi is 3-5 times stronger than First Tier qi, and the number of Gang Line is also the same.

But now, the amount of fighting spirit will double, and the Gang Line will rise accordingly.

He remembered that the ancient scroll of "Thread Needle Thread" explained that if an additional Gang Line was created in the Qi Sea, it would increase the Qi recovery speed by 1%, the accumulation speed of Gene Source Power by 1%, and the amount of Qi by an additional 1%.

Although he felt that the combination of two anomalies might lead to inaccurate data, a surge was inevitable, ultimately resulting in a difference of several times the initial investment!

Moreover, the more Gang Line one has, the stronger one's ability to survive. Now, coupled with the superhuman resilience brought by the "Demonic Self-worm," it would be difficult for one to die even if one wanted to.

Moreover, it seems that the mature form of this "Demon Worms" has some undiscovered benefits.

The future seems bright.

Since the topic of cultivating battle qi came up, Rein naturally thought of the [Thunder Totem] on his body.

After all, this item is a heirloom of the Kolman Tribe, so it would be better to ask Mafat about how to use it.

He didn't stand on ceremony and asked, "Lord Mafat, now that I've refined the [Thunder Totem], are there any special cultivation techniques I need to pay attention to?"

Mafat replied, "There's nothing to worry about. This totem operates passively; as long as you're alive, it will help you cultivate. However, with the totem, you can adapt to cultivating in environments with more violent lightning elements."

Rein heard that this totem seemed to enhance immunity to lightning.

When I think of an environment with lightning, images of thunder and lightning during a rainstorm immediately come to mind.

He asked, "For example, can one cultivate by drawing upon lightning?"

Hearing this, Mafat laughed and said, "Theoretically speaking, the lightning element in the world is indeed most concentrated in a thunderstorm environment, and cultivation is faster. But your current body simply cannot withstand the power of lightning. If you want to try such a dangerous method, at least wait until you reach the Second Tier [Great Strength Demon God] and your physical body is fully developed."

"Oh."

Rein nodded.

Isn't the Second Tier of the [Great Strength Demon God] just the "Divine Steel Realm"?

Thinking of this, for some reason, he suddenly remembered the secret cultivation agreement that a certain guild leader had mentioned.

Wait, something's not right.

Earlier in the temple, she seemed to have said that we could ask her a question?

After the campfire dinner, everyone went about their duties, whether they were on guard duty or going to sleep.

There were only four people around the campfire, Rein and the others. Bazel went to sleep, and Mafat went to a distant place to pray with the tribe warriors.

Only Canossa and Rein remained by the fire.

Having escaped from the Giant Flower, Canossa was no longer in a sense of crisis. As a professional businesswoman, her mind was naturally preoccupied with planning the development of her new territory.

What Rein could think of, a professional businesswoman like Canossa could naturally think of as well.

Whether it's "magic crystals," ruins, or the cultivation frenzy, she can foresee them all, and even think of more.

It is easy to imagine that the future "new city" will be a place full of wealth and miracles.

That's why she's becoming more and more hopeful.

Having worked side-by-side for so long, Canossa has gained a deeper understanding of the Kolman Tribe. Previously, she had worried that the Kolman Tribe might bring instability to their business partnership, but now it seems that assumption was unfounded.

She also realized that these Kolman intended to cooperate not because their "Black Gold Merchant Guild" was powerful, nor because the Princess was influential, but simply because they trusted the young doctor, Rein.

The two sat by the campfire and chatted idly.

They chatted quite pleasantly about the big and small things that happened in the city after she left City of Radiance.

Canossa then learned that the connection between Rein and the Kolman Tribe stemmed from their encounter with the barbarian girl on the mountain road when they went to City of Radiance.

"So... you only learned Coleman Language after that incident?"

"Yes. Didn't you tell me to look after her for ten days, and then if you didn't come back, I wouldn't have to worry about her anymore? I happen to have a book that needs to be translated from Monkel Ancient Language, so we exchanged some information."

"As a result, this in-depth exchange led you to forge an extraordinary friendship with that High Priest Kolman named Wudo?"

"."

"Doctor Rein, are you really not planning to become the city lord? I think if you don't, your new territory will probably have a lot of trouble."

Which aspect are you referring to?

Canossa clearly foresaw something, but she didn't intend to say anything, and smiled sweetly, "You'll find out when the time comes."

Rein raised an eyebrow, but didn't take it to heart.

Suddenly remembering something, she asked, "By the way, Lady Canossa, do you still stand by what you said in the temple?"

"What did you say?"

Canossa seemed to have guessed what Rein wanted to say, and smiled with her eyebrows curving.

Rein said directly, "Help me fulfill that little regret?"

Canossa: "Oh, I remember."

Rein: "And then?"

Canossa: "I never said I would definitely agree to your request."

Rein: "."

Canossa looked at Rein's wistful expression and said with a smile, "Too sweet will get cloying. After you've mastered the 'Divine Steel Realm,' leave some novelty for the secret cultivators."

Because of the zombie horde, what should have been a seven or eight-day journey took them more than ten days.

Finally, that day arrived.

When Rein and his group arrived at the outer valley entrance of the "Karatva Basin", they saw a group of Kolman Beast Rider who had been waiting for a long time.

Upon entering the basin, they indeed found many "earth dragons," some alive, others skeletons rising from the soil. This gave Rein the feeling of having stumbled into Jurassic Park.

There were many battles along the way, but fortunately, the three legends were in the team, and the journey was fraught with danger but ultimately safe.

After traveling for more than a day, they finally saw the wreckage of the Mechanical City.

Actually, based on the description in Baron Morin, he had roughly guessed that it was a mechanical wreck shaped like an airship.

Now that I look at it, it's pretty much as he expected.

In the basin, at the foot of the "Alkolon Mountain Range," lies a pile of steel structure ruins. The main body, broken in two, is approximately three kilometers long. It looks somewhat like an incredibly bulky submarine. But its shape is even stranger; it's not just a structure of airbags and compartments, but also includes many incomprehensible, enormous steam pipes and external structures.

Perhaps it's more like a "steel whale," with numerous propellers and various jet propulsion devices outside the airbags, exuding a dark punk style.

Rein thought it made sense; for such a massive steel monster to fly, it couldn't be just a simple power source for airbags to levitate. Those incomprehensible steam pipes were probably the real "core technology."

He was a complete novice when it came to machinery, so he didn't understand it and didn't look at it much.

To his surprise, the Mechanical City built on the Airship Wreckage was already quite large when they arrived.

Having arrived here, Rein finally understood what Canossa meant when she said that if he didn't become the city lord, there might be some trouble.
