Mutated Blood Pills, the Effects of PUA on Demon Beasts

"Earth Spirit Blood Marrow Stone?"

It was Lin Yun's first time hearing of such a treasure, and he was extremely puzzled.

Chi Ling immediately explained, "It is a wondrous treasure of the earth, formed only after the earth absorbs the essence and energy left behind by demon beasts after death over countless years. It contains a special power of bloodlines that can strengthen the bloodlines of all living things. After absorbing a Blood Marrow Stone, powerful bloodlines become even stronger, while inferior bloodlines have a chance of acquiring mutated bloodlines, granting them the ability to accommodate the bloodlines of other species. This is a treasure capable of changing a demon beast's fate."

Bloodlines were incomparably important to demon beasts, because nearly all their power was contained within their bloodlines, which they also relied on to inherit and grow stronger.

"So the biggest reason Little Flame was able to possess a mutated bloodline was that, while Tiger Heroine was pregnant with them, she absorbed the energy emitted by the Earth Spirit Blood Marrow Stone here, inducing a mutation in Little Flame's bloodline."

Lin Yun figured out the key point.

Otherwise, how could an ordinary Fire Python Tiger possibly acquire a mutated bloodline so easily?

Roar!

Tiger Heroine let out a low growl, staring fervently at the Earth Spirit Blood Marrow Stone exposed within the rock wall. The power radiating from it made its blood boil.

Its instincts told it that as long as it absorbed the stone's energy, it would gain enormous benefits.

This time, Lin Yun carefully peeled the Earth Spirit Blood Marrow Stone out intact. It was roughly the size of a human head.

"Master, give it to me. I can refine it into Blood Marrow Pills without wasting a single trace of its energy," Chi Ling pleaded excitedly.

Refining pills was also a form of improvement for her. The more pills she refined, and the better their quality, the more she would grow accordingly.

"Alright."

Lin Yun nodded and placed the Blood Marrow Stone into the Alchemy Furnace.

"Don't be impatient. I'll let you eat it after it's refined into pills," Lin Yun soothed Tiger Heroine.

Mission: Find a rare treasure. Reward: One bottle of Mutated Blood Pills. Completed. Claim reward?

Lin Yun had Tiger Heroine take Qing Tan outside first, then claimed the reward.

A flash of white light passed, and an emerald jade bottle appeared in Lin Yun's hand.

Mutated Blood Pills: Possess the power to mutate bloodlines. After consumption, there is a certain chance of gaining a mutation ability. The weaker the user and the poorer the species' bloodline, the greater the chance of gaining a mutation ability. Conversely, the effect of Mutated Blood Pills will weaken. Mutation carries risks; consume with caution. One may become infinitely strong, or infinitely weak.

Lin Yun understood how Mutated Blood Pills were meant to be used.

These pills had a special effect and no grade restrictions.

The rich relied on technology; the poor relied on mutation.

Mutated Blood Pills gave ordinary demon beasts a chance to defy fate and change their lives.

Powerful demon beasts already possessed powerful bloodlines, so mutation was full of risks for them.

Moreover, the power of a mutated bloodline was itself a type of bloodline. When encountering stronger bloodlines, it was highly likely to be assimilated and unable to display its effects.

Weak bloodlines, on the other hand, might yield unexpected gains.

Obtaining a mutated bloodline was only the beginning.

To become stronger, one still had to absorb the power of other bloodlines. A mutated bloodline merely gave the body the trait of being able to fuse with other bloodlines. As for what abilities one could gain after fusion, that was uncertain.

However, with Chi Ling's help in formulating the pills, she could guide the mutations in a favorable direction to some extent.

"This is Tiger Heroine's great fortune!"

Lin Yun put away the Mutated Blood Pills, his heart somewhat excited. Perhaps he could use them to forge a legion of mutated demon beasts.

Humans could use them too, but human bloodlines were vastly different from those of beasts. Humans did not cultivate through bloodlines, and the power in human bloodlines was often far weaker than that of demon beasts. If one cultivated through mutated bloodlines, one would have to absorb the bloodlines of powerful demon beasts. There was no telling whether one might turn into a monster that was neither human nor beast.

Lin Yun definitely would not use them.

He had a system that could improve his four-dimensional attributes. His future talent would not be weak, so why would he need any bloodline?

Leaving the cave, Lin Yun held Qing Tan in his arms and rode Tiger Heroine down the mountain.

Lin Yun collected all the corpses of the Azure-Eyed Fire Lion Group into the Alchemy Furnace, then returned to the cave on the mountain.

He planned to stay here for a while first and digest the gains he had just obtained.

Lin Yun began doing everything he could to help Chi Ling refine pills.

This time, all eight Azure-Eyed Fire Lions, along with the two demon beasts hunted by the Azure-Eyed Fire Lions, were refined. They should yield quite a few Blood Pills.

More than half a month later

The furnace was opened, and the harvest was abundant.

More than eight hundred Fourth Grade Blood Pills.

More than six hundred Fifth Grade Blood Pills.

Besides that, the Earth Spirit Blood Marrow Stone had also been successfully refined into pills, yielding nine Blood Marrow Pills.

The effects of Blood Marrow Pills were similar to those of Mutated Blood Pills, but Blood Marrow Pills worked better. Even if one failed to obtain a mutated bloodline after consuming one, it could still strengthen the bloodline somewhat, and there was no possibility of the bloodline becoming weaker.

Lin Yun summoned Four Tigers and Two Leopards.

Fire Python Tigers and Black Iron Demon Leopards were demon beasts at the Heavenly Yuan Realm level. They could reach the Heavenly Yuan Realm once they matured, but that was also their limit. Trying to break through further was extremely difficult.

In a small place like Qingyang Town, the Heavenly Yuan Realm was already the ceiling, an immensely powerful level.

But if he set his sights farther—Yancheng—the Great Yan Dynasty—the Eastern Xuan Region—the Heavenly Profound Continent...

Once he broadened his horizons, even the Heavenly Yuan Realm was no more than an ant-like existence.

Lin Yun first explained to them the importance of bloodlines to Demon Beasts. Only with a powerful bloodline could they go farther.

His words made the Six Beasts' blood boil.

"I now have Pills that can help your bloodlines mutate. Whether you can obtain mutated bloodlines will depend on your own fortune."

Lin Yun took out five Blood Marrow Pills. Other than Little Flame, each of them received one.

"Roar, roar!" Little Flame frantically wagged his tail at Lin Yun. He wanted one too.

Little Flame already possessed a mutated bloodline, so taking this Pill would be somewhat wasteful.

Lin Yun casually gave him a Fourth Grade Blood Pill.

Little Flame could not tell the difference anyway. He gobbled it down with great relish.

The power of the Blood Marrow Pills spread through their bodies, wildly cleansing, burning, and reshaping their bloodlines. The process seemed extremely painful.

The five beasts rolled on the ground, clawing at the earth.

Only Little Flame looked utterly confused. After eating the Blood Pill, he merely felt very comfortable.

Come to think of it, Little Flame was also someone blessed with immense fortune.

He more or less had the protagonist template.

He had effortlessly obtained a mutated bloodline while still in his mother's womb.

Watching the five beasts struggle painfully in such a bedraggled state, Lin Yun felt it was necessary to give them another lesson in ideology.

"Hold on. A mutated bloodline is your chance to change your fate. If you want to obtain one, you must endure the pain. Think of your family and companions."

"If they obtain mutated bloodlines but you don't, won't you feel awful? Would you even have the nerve to stay with them? Would you still deserve to play with them?"

"Only by obtaining mutated bloodlines can you grow stronger and protect your family and companions."

"The weak are prey to the strong. In the end, the weak can only become someone else's food!"

"Think about the lion meat you ate today."

"You wouldn't want your families to be eaten like that, would you?"

Sure enough, after hearing Lin Yun's telepathic words, the five beasts endured the pain and rose to their feet.

Their gazes became incomparably resolute!

Compared to the terrifying consequences Lin Yun had described, this little pain was nothing.

They absolutely refused to let such a scene happen.

Mutate, I want to mutate, I must mutate... At this moment, this was the only thought in the five beasts' hearts, as unwavering as stones waiting for their husbands.

Lin Yun nodded in satisfaction. "P.U.A." worked quite well on these simple-minded Demon Beasts with single-minded emotions.

"Brother Lin Yun, what did you say to them?"

Qing Tan asked in surprise.

Just moments ago, the five beasts had been rolling around on the ground as though they could no longer endure the pain, yet they had suddenly become so strong-willed.

What kind of magic had Brother Lin Yun used? She found it utterly unbelievable.
