Blood Sable Drinks Poison

Chapter 32: Blood Sable Drinks Poison The black fortune surged into Lin Yi's nostrils, carrying a mournful, resentful stench.

Lin Yi's brow furrowed, disliking the feeling.

But this was the manifestation of his own destiny.

It was also another form of self-warning.

"Forget it..." Lin Yi thought silently, "Xiao Dong now has a destiny. His status in the martial arts hall will rise. Opportunities to meet will be rare. I should interact with him less from now on."

"It's here! It's here! The Xuanchi Water is here!" Bai Qiqi rushed over, carrying large bags.

After placing the items, there were four in total.

A jade pure bottle, a small square cauldron, a bag of incense ash, and a stack of Huanglu Paper.

Lin Yi watched carefully.

He would also take the opportunity to learn how to observe destiny.

Master Yuan placed the Huanglu Paper in the square cauldron and said, "Your hand should be placed on this paper."

Xiao Dong obeyed and placed his hand on the Huanglu Paper.

"Hold it steady. It will hurt a bit in a moment. Don't move, no matter what," Master Yuan said.

"Mm," Xiao Dong grunted heavily.

Master Yuan sprinkled a thick layer of incense ash on the back of Xiao Dong's hand.

This incense ash was from the ashes of precious and rare herbs burned during previous pill refinement, mixed with sandalwood ash.

Next, Master Yuan condensed a wisp of True Qi in his fingertip, shaping it into a small dagger.

"True Qi Manifestation, Qi Condensation Realm!"

"The technique of a seventh-rank Qi cultivator."

Lin Yi's heart grew solemn.

Such a technique was beyond ordinary people in Lin Yi's eyes, truly extraordinary.

The True Qi dagger in Master Yuan's fingertip gently sliced across the back of Xiao Dong's hand. A blood vessel was cut, and blood immediately gushed out.

The moment the blood touched the incense ash, a miraculous scene unfolded.

The incense ash seemed to come alive, merging with the blood.

Starting from the back of his hand, it traced along his forearm, forming a peculiar pattern.

"It's moving! It's really a destiny!"

"What pattern is that?"

"It looks a bit like a cat?"

"A cat? That must be a wolf!"

"It looks like a bird to me!"

As the incense ash and blood moved together on Xiao Dong's arm, the shape of the pattern became slightly clearer.

The pattern displayed two abstract-looking creatures.

One was slender, with short limbs, large round ears, and a bushy tail...

The other was emerald green, with long tail feathers, a sharp black beak, and a slender neck...

"Destiny! He truly has a destiny!"

Everyone exclaimed.

Master Yuan's face also showed unconcealed joy.

Finally, as the pattern gradually became clear, Master Yuan took out the jade pure bottle.

"Endure it!" Master Yuan commanded sternly.

Xiao Dong nodded heavily.

The next second, Master Yuan suddenly poured all the Xuanchi Water from the jade pure bottle onto Xiao Dong's wrist and the back of his hand.

Sizzle!

A chilling corrosive sound echoed.

The moment the Xuanchi Water and the pattern of blood and incense ash on Xiao Dong's arm collided, a large amount of white mist rose.

The intense corrosive burning sensation made Xiao Dong's face turn pale, but he still bit his lip tightly, refusing to make a sound.

After the white mist rose, it gathered in mid-air, lingering for a long time even against a strong wind.

After a moment, the white mist began to change color at a visible speed, quickly separating into two streams of mist.

The two streams of mist, one blood-red and the other emerald green, rose simultaneously from the east and west, intertwining at the zenith like two doomed beasts embracing as they fell.

Lin Yi's eyes narrowed, a sharp glint flashing within them.

No one else saw it.

He saw it.

To be precise, his [Know Heavenly Fate] saw it.

Blood Sable Drinks Poison!

This fate category was called Blood Sable Drinks Poison!

[Observe Heavenly Fate to Inspect]

[Fate Category: Blood Sable Drinks Poison]

[Effect: Absorb the blood essence of all living things at will to enhance one's origin; however, the impure blood aura will confuse the mind: the body carries blood poison, harbors toxic roots, and suffers from internal deficiency.]

In plain terms, the effect was—

One could directly absorb the blood essence of any living creature to increase one's own, but the drawback was that this mottled blood aura would affect one's sanity.

Furthermore, one could gestate a unique poison, though doing so would weaken one's constitution.

The effects didn't seem weak at first glance.

It allowed one to use blood essence to assist in cultivation, and one could also gestate blood poison to launch sneak attacks.

If not for those two side effects, it would have looked quite good.

However, compared to his own [Know Heavenly Fate] and [Empathic Corpse Dissection], it seemed a bit too weak.

Even so, it caused an instant uproar among those present.

"Good, good, good!"

Yuan Fubai's originally deep eyes finally couldn't help but turn fanatical. He repeated the word "good" several times, looking at Xiao Dong as if he were staring at a precious treasure.

"Child, what is your name!"

Xiao Dong's body trembled, equally overwhelmed with excitement: "Master Yuan, this boy is Xiao Dong!"

Yuan Fubai spoke up: "Xiao Dong, are you willing to become my fifth inner-chamber disciple!"

As soon as Yuan Fubai spoke, the crowd below erupted into an even greater clamor.

Everyone else had to struggle with all their might and exhaust their family fortunes.

Only by breaking through the Martial Pass and reaching the level of a martial artist could one barely walk about with the status of an ordinary disciple of a martial arts hall.

But look at Xiao Dong!

He had only just tested his fate category, and he was already being snatched up as an inner-chamber disciple by Master Yuan, a martial arts master at the Qi-Entering Realm.

Every martial artist was extremely cautious when choosing an inner-chamber disciple; once accepted, they were nominally equivalent to a biological son.

Everyone's gaze was fixed on the youth on the stage, whose face was flushed with excitement, their envy plain for all to see.

He had truly ascended to the heavens in a single step!

"Disciple! This disciple is willing!"

Xiao Dong kowtowed in excitement.

At this moment, the surrounding crowd suddenly shouted toward Yuan Fubai: "Congratulations to Master Yuan on gaining a beloved disciple!"

"Good, good, good!"

Yuan Fubai was overjoyed and patted Xiao Dong's shoulder heavily.

Meanwhile, in the crowd, Lin Yi turned and walked away quickly after seeing Xiao Dong's fate category clearly.

Xiao Dong also looked toward the crowd below, and when his eyes caught Lin Yi's familiar back, a trace of satisfaction he was unwilling to admit even to himself flickered in his eyes...
