Luo Qingxu felt a massive influx of information flood her mind. After she fully understood what had happened, she stared at Lin Yu in shock, speechless.

"Master, this is the Saint King, and... you're just giving it to me like this?" Luo Qingxu murmured, looking incredulous.

Although it's partially damaged, it's still the Saint King. If this were in the outside world, cultivators would fight tooth and nail over it!

Seeing Luo Qingxu's flattered expression, Lin Yu felt a little helpless. Why did this little girl always act so surprised?

"It's just the inheritance of a Saint King, look how excited you are!" Lin Yu teased Luo Qingxu intentionally.

"You've been in the Primordial Hall for so long, and you're still surprised by a mere Saint King's inheritance? Hurry up and go obediently accept the inheritance and improve your strength."

"I have several complete inheritances here, but I was worried that your body couldn't handle them, so I gave you a damaged one."

Do you know how difficult it is for me to find a lineage that suits your current strength among so many?

Hearing Lin Yu's words, Luo Qingxu's eyes lit up. "Okay, Master, I'll go improve my strength right away! Once my strength improves, can you give me a few more inheritances?"

Looking at Luo Qingxu's clever appearance, Lin Yu shook his head helplessly, but he liked Luo Qingxu's straightforward personality.

"Of course, hurry up and improve your strength. Your strength is too low; standing next to me is just embarrassing for me." Lin Yu waved his hand helplessly. "Hurry up, or if your strength improves too slowly, I'll throw you out of Hongmeng Mountain."

"No! Master, I'll go cultivate right now!" Luo Qingxu said to Lin Yu, her hands clasped together.

"Alright, alright, go on!" Lin Yu said, as he had already wasted a lot of time just arguing with Luo Qingxu.

Luo Qingxu then turned and left with a smile. Before she was even out of Lin Yu's sight, she couldn't help but skip around.

On the other side, in a sparsely populated valley.

Chen Xiaoxian sat cross-legged, closing his eyes to heal his injuries. His face was still somewhat pale, clearly indicating that the loss of one percent of his essence blood by Lin Yu was not a pleasant experience for him.

However, compared to the small amount of essence he lost, Chen Xiaoxian's gains were immeasurable; otherwise, he wouldn't have been willing to exchange it with Lin Yu.

Not long after, the space around Chen Xiaoxian distorted, and a simply dressed old man slowly walked out from it.

"Da, da, da..."

The slow, leisurely footsteps approached, sounding somewhat unnatural. Upon closer inspection, it became clear that the old man only had one leg.

Although he only had one leg, the old man did not use a cane. He looked perfectly normal, as if the missing leg had no effect on him at all.

Sensing the change in his surroundings, Chen Xiaoxian opened his eyes. Upon seeing the newcomer, a hint of joy appeared in his eyes. " Grandpa Xu, what brings you here?"

"Of course we've come to take Xiaoxian back!" Before the smile on the Grandpa Xu's face could even bloom, he had already noticed that Chen Xiaoxian's complexion was not right.

"Boom..."

In an instant, a terrifying aura erupted from the ancient old man, causing all the vegetation to prostrate down, while the distant mountains fared even worse, being completely leveled.

" Xiaoxian, you're injured? What happened!" The old man, who had been so calm and collected just moments before, took Chen Xiaoxian's hand, his face full of worry.

It's not hard to imagine that this old man, who could remain calm and composed even when he lost his leg, would struggle to control his emotions when faced with Chen Xiaoxian's dejected state and defeated expression.

"Your qi and blood are not right. How could you have lost your essence? Who on earth stole your essence?! Damn it, I will exterminate their entire family!"

The old man, with his aged hand, gently squeezed Chen Xiaoxian's arm and immediately understood the problem.

Having finally awakened his bloodline, Chen Xiaoxian's aura shouldn't be this weak, but now his face is pale and his blood and qi are insufficient, clearly indicating that he has lost some of his essence and blood!

Seeing the old man's changed expression, Chen Xiaoxian was also a little stunned. He had never seen his Grandpa Xu angry before, and he never expected that the first time he saw him angry would be like this.

" Grandpa Xu, don't worry, this... this is something I did voluntarily!" Chen Xiaoxian hurriedly explained.

Chen Xiao knew Grandpa Xu's strength Chen Xiaoxian; if he got angry, even he couldn't stop him now!

At this moment, Chen Xiaoxian was not worried about Lin Yu, but about his Grandpa Xu.

After all, in Chen Xiaoxian's eyes, the strength of the Hall Master of the Primordial Hall had long reached the level of Great Emperor. No matter how powerful his own Grandpa Xu was, he had not yet reached the level of Great Emperor. Even if he went to find Lin Yu, it would only be suicide.

"Here's what happened... I made a deal with the Hall Master of the Primordial Hall. In exchange for helping me awaken my bloodline power, I gave him one percent of my essence blood!"

Chen Xiaoxian became anxious, wishing he could use both hands and feet to explain things clearly to Grandpa Xu. However, the more he explained, the more anxious he became, and before long, his forehead was covered with sweat from nervousness.

Through Chen Xiaoxian's stammering explanation, Grandpa Xu finally understood the cause and effect of the matter, and the spiritual energy around him gradually stabilized.

" Xiaoxian, do you mean that you were able to awaken your bloodline power with the help of the Hall Master of the Primordial Hall?" Grandpa Xu's expression was somewhat strange.

"That's right, it was the Palace Master who helped me!" Chen Xiaoxian, and Grandpa Xu finally understood what he meant.

However, Grandpa Xu was filled with doubt and apprehension. Chen Xiaoxian's bloodline power had always been a major problem. If there was a way to help him solve it within Short Sky Island, then he would never let Chen Xiaoxian the Eastern Wasteland to find a solution.

Unfortunately, despite the countless powerful individuals on Short Sky Island, none of them could counter Chen Xiaoxian's bloodline power.

However, just now, Grandpa Xu learned a terrifying fact: there really is a way to deal with Chen Xiaoxian's bloodline power!

Who exactly is this person? Who is they?! What use is their essence blood?

Chen Xiaoxian might not know, but Grandpa Xu himself was all too aware of the current combat power of Short Sky Island. No force in the Eastern Wasteland could match it. It could be said that if they wanted to, they could easily annihilate the entire Eastern Wasteland.

However, even these powerful figures were powerless against Chen Xiaoxian's bloodline power; the Lord of the Primordial Hall was actually...
