Fire Virtue Bloodline

[Xu Dezhao: Xu Family Third Generation]

[Age: 1]

[Spiritual Root: Incomplete Five Elements, No Cultivation Aptitude]

[Talent: None]

[Bloodline: Pseudo Fire Virtue Bloodline (Ninth Grade)]

[Realm: None]

(Note: Pseudo Fire Virtue Bloodline, cultivating martial arts is twice as effective, fire-element martial arts moves or spells can increase their power by ten to twenty percent.)

The next day.

Xu Chuan called Xu Mingwei over and informed him about Xu Dezhao possessing the Pseudo Fire Virtue Bloodline.

"Fire Virtue Bloodline?"

"Yes, I'm surprised too."

Xu Chuan originally thought Xu Dezhao would inherit Xu Mingwei's strength and eyes.

But he got neither, and instead had the Fire Virtue Bloodline.

"Even the Pseudo Fire Virtue Bloodline is Ninth Grade. I wonder what grade the true Fire Virtue Bloodline is?"

As Xu Chuan pondered, Xu Mingwei lowered his head and guessed, "Father, do you think it might be our Xu family's bloodline?"

Xu Chuan looked up and smiled faintly, "Bloodlines are things that can be passed down to descendants. If our Xu family truly had it, we wouldn't be so mediocre, and there would have been martial arts experts emerging long ago."

"Then it's from the Yang family?"

"The Yang family has existed through hundreds of years of ups and downs, with Grandmaster experts in almost every generation. It's not impossible."

"Then I'll go ask Ronghua."

Xu Mingwei hurried back to his chambers.

Xu Chuan then began cultivating the Innate Five Elements Creation Technique.

Seeing Xu Mingwei return in a hurry, Yang Ronghua looked up with a surprised expression, "Husband, didn't Father ask for you? Why are you back so soon?"

"We're done talking."

Xu Mingwei walked to her side, looked at Xu Dezhao in the crib, and seeing him open his eyes, he cooed and played with him.

"Husband, he's looking at you."

"Hmm, the eyes are like mine, the nose is like yours, and the overall contour is like yours. He'll definitely be a handsome young master in the future. I can only say that your Yang family's bloodline is truly extraordinary."

"Husband, you jest."

"By the way, wife, your Yang family has had Grandmasters for generations. Is your bloodline special?"

Yang Ronghua looked at him in confusion and asked, "Husband, why do you suddenly bring up my Yang family's bloodline?"

"I'm curious about the prominent families in the prefecture city."

"So that's it." Yang Ronghua smiled brightly, "I've actually heard my brother mention this before. He said if his bloodline were a bit purer, he might be able to reach the Xiantian realm before the age of twenty, just like some of the outstanding members of our clan."

"Bloodline can be this magical?" Xu Mingwei asked in surprise.

He wondered if the other members of the Yang family had the true Fire Virtue Bloodline, or the Pseudo Fire Virtue Bloodline his father mentioned.

No, most of them were probably not even as good as Zhao'er!

Father said this Pseudo Fire Virtue Bloodline was a Ninth-Rank Bloodline. If all the Yang family disciples had Ninth-Rank Bloodlines, wouldn't everyone be able to become Xiantian, or even Grandmasters?

Seeing Xu Mingwei lost in thought, Yang Ronghua added, "This concubine isn't too sure either."

"How about this, I'll write a letter to my father and tell them about Zhao'er's situation. And while I'm at it, I'll ask them to see if Zhao'er has any special Yang family bloodline."

"Okay."

"However, this concubine feels that since Zhao'er is your child, Husband, his Xu family bloodline should be stronger."

"Perhaps."

Xu Mingwei smiled faintly and said no more.

Although he knew the secret of Xu Dezhao's bloodline, he couldn't explain why he knew it.

Therefore, he didn't elaborate.

Three days later.

Yuehu Prefecture, Yang Family.

Yang Shichang received the letter delivered by a servant. Upon seeing the sender's name, he immediately broke into a smile.

"Why is my husband so happy?"

Yang Shichang had married Wen Jing, the legitimate daughter of the Wen Family, a few months ago.

She was now also pregnant.

"My sister sent a letter," Yang Shichang said with a smile.

"Ronghua Sister? It's a pity we didn't get to see her at our wedding. I heard she has the beauty to make the moon and flowers feel ashamed."

Yang Shichang just smiled and said nothing more.

Wen Jing then said, "I also heard that Ronghua Sister was originally going to marry my second brother. Why did she marry into a family from a small place?"

Upon hearing this, the happiness on Yang Shichang's face diminished.

Their marriage was an alliance, and there wasn't much deep affection to begin with.

Furthermore, Wen Jing's constant mention of her Wen Family made him somewhat disgusted.

If she weren't pregnant right now, Yang Shichang might have directly reprimanded her.

"Your Wen Family was too late. Long before the two families formed an alliance, my sister was already promised to someone. The Ask Name, Nazheng, and Naji ceremonies have already passed, leaving only the selection of the date and the Welcome Bride ceremony."

"My Yang Family also has pride. It's not like there's no one for her to marry. We can't possibly break off the engagement."

Wen Jing smiled faintly, stroking her stomach, "Husband, please don't overthink it. This concubine was just slightly curious and asked casually."

"Mm," Yang Shichang nodded faintly. "Your body is weak, go to your room and rest. I'm going to visit Mother."

With that, he took the letter and went to Madam Yang's room.

Madam Yang was also very happy to see the letter, her eyes involuntarily welling up with tears.

After wiping them away, she opened the envelope and began to read, smiling as she said, "Your sister wrote that she gave birth to a son, named Xu Dezhao."

"Is it the 'Zhao' character from Father?"

"Yes."

"Did Sister say anything else?"

"She said she is living very comfortably in the Xu Family, that her husband and wife are harmonious, and she asked how we are doing. She misses us very much."

"I do miss my sister," Yang Shichang said with a nostalgic expression.

Yang Zhao only had one son and one daughter. The siblings had a very close relationship since childhood.

Suddenly, he noticed his mother's expression change and asked, "What's wrong? Is there a problem with the Xu Family?"

"No, Hua'er is asking if there's a way to test your nephew's bloodline."

"Test the bloodline?" Yang Shichang was also surprised, then said, "That's right. Dezhao has half of the Yang Family's bloodline. Perhaps he will possess a special Yang Family bloodline. In the past, our Yang Family Relatives have had Martial Dao Geniuses with our Yang Family bloodline."

Madam Yang thought for a moment, "When your father returns tonight, let's ask for his opinion first."

"Understood, Mother." Yang Shichang replied.

That night.

Yang Zhao read the letter and, upon seeing Xu Dezhao's name, his face broke into a smile.

However, upon seeing that a bloodline test was required, he pondered for a moment.

"Hua'er is far away in Qingjiang County, and we can't look after her."

"Now that she's asked, I, as her father, naturally have to fulfill her wish. I'll go see the Patriarch tomorrow. I believe with my reputation, the Patriarch will grant me a Bloodline Stone.

If Dezhao's bloodline is pure, he might be able to apply to cultivate the Yang Family's Inheritance Martial Arts."

With that, he turned to Yang Shichang, "Chang'er, once I get the Bloodline Stone, you'll make a trip to Qingjiang County."

"Yes, Father."

The next day, Yang Zhao borrowed the Bloodline Stone.

After Yang Shichang settled Wen Jing, he rode his horse to Qingjiang County early the third morning.

Two days later.

He arrived at Dongxi Village.

The guards at the entrance saw someone approaching on horseback and immediately shouted, "Who goes there? This is the Xu Family's private residence, unauthorized entry is forbidden."

"It's Young Master Yang." Another guard, who had seen Yang Shichang multiple times, immediately recognized him and quickly said with a smile, "My apologies, Young Master Yang. He was just recruited not long ago and hasn't seen you before."

Yang Shichang nodded and dismounted.

He was led by another Household Guard to the South Mountain Courtyard where Xu Mingwei was located.
