On the first day of the new year, the Lin family of War Dragon City was exceptionally busy.
The Wu family had been annihilated. As a family that had existed for several hundred years, their resources were absolutely unimaginable.
Even Lin Tianxiao and the two Grand Elders had joined in, busy confiscating all sorts of resources.
So, when Lin Hao returned to the Lin family with Lin Tian, Lin Yuan, and Shenshan, there was actually no one to receive them.
Lin Tian and Lin Yuan had, of course, passed the assessnt and were about to join the Crimson Fla Army.
Lin Hao had asked Chen Tianyu when they would be leaving. The answer was at dawn tomorrow.
Besides the matters he had already taken care of, Lin Hao had returned to prepare the Nine Dragon God Refining Pill for Lin Tian and Lin Yuan, intending to create bloodlines for them.
At this mont, there was no ti to lose.
Therefore, upon returning to the estate, Lin Hao took them straight to the Blood-Swapping Pool.
Lin Tian and Lin Yuan were confused.
"Listen up," Lin Hao began seriously. "What I’m about to do is of the utmost importance. You must keep it a secret, no matter what!"
Right now, both his cultivation and his influence were still too weak.
If word got out that he could create bloodlines, he and the Lin family would face a devastating attack.
The Lin brothers nodded repeatedly.
To them, Lin Hao’s words were now no different from an imperial decree.
"Today, I am going to create bloodlines for you!" Lin Hao said in a low voice.
Creating bloodlines for ordinary bodies!
It was unheard of!
The Lin brothers’ eyes went wide as saucers, completely stunned.
Even the carefree Shenshan, who was standing to the side, had a dazed look on his face.
This was too astonishing.
Lin Hao gave them so ti. After they ca back to their senses, he explained the necessary precautions in detail.
By now, Lin Hao had plenty of experience creating bloodlines. If they followed his instructions, took the Nine Dragon God Refining Pill, and witnessed the formation of the Nine Sons of the Dragon, their chances of success were high.
Lin Hao had brought back three Nine Dragon God Refining Pills, so even Shenshan could potentially benefit.
The three of them listened very carefully as Lin Hao explained everything in detail.
This concerned their destiny.
If they successfully created their bloodlines, they would no longer be ants, but would soar to the heavens.
A full hour passed before Lin Tian finally stepped into the Blood-Swapping Pool.
Lin Hao followed close behind, also stepping into the pool.
Staring at the Blood-Swapping Pool, Lin Hao’s expression grew distant.
Three years ago, it was right here that his bloodline had been cruelly stolen by Lin Wu’s branch of the family.
Three years had passed, and Lin Wu was now at the height of his power in the Lin family’s capital branch.
If nothing unexpected happened, he would beco the future master of the Lin family, one of the four great families.
This enemy was incomparably powerful, and in the vast Cangnan Empire, War Dragon City was but a drop in the ocean—utterly insignificant.
Lin Hao still had a long way to go.
"PHEW!"
Coming back to his senses, Lin Hao exhaled a breath of stale air and sat down cross-legged behind Lin Tian...
「Two hours later.」
A phantom image materialized behind Lin Tian, then imdiately vanished.
Lin Hao smiled.
But in the next mont, three more people appeared beside the Blood-Swapping Pool.
It was the two Lin family Grand Elders and Lin Tianxiao.
Having advanced to the Soul Gathering Realm, the two Grand Elders’ senses were far more acute than before.
The very instant the phantom appeared, they had sensed an overwhelmingly powerful pressure.
They thought a powerful enemy was attacking, but when they arrived at the Blood-Swapping Pool, they saw Lin Tian rising from the water, trembling with excitent.
"I... I’m at the Blood Coagulation Realm Fourth Layer!" Having successfully created his own bloodline, Lin Tian could hardly believe it was real.
"What?!" The two Grand Elders were aghast. They both moved at once, pulling Lin Tian out and grabbing his arm to examine him.
"BOOM!"
A terrifying aura erupted from Lin Tian’s body. The two Grand Elders, experts at the Soul Gathering Realm, scrambled backward in alarm.
The Nine Sons of the Dragon possessed a heaven-shaking pressure and would not allow others to probe them.
Having just created his bloodline, Lin Tian’s body could already block the prying senses of Soul Gathering Realm experts!
"This... This... HAHAHA..."
The two elders were first shocked, then burst into roaring laughter.
Lin Hao’s generation was the Lin family’s future. The stronger they were, the stronger the Lin family would beco.
The two elders laughed until tears stread down their faces. They looked at Lin Hao, their lips trembling, but were unable to speak.
This was all thanks to what Lin Hao had brought to the Lin family!
At the side, Lin Tianxiao also clenched his fists, struggling to suppress his emotions.
He knew that Yi Mingcheng had created a bloodline with Lin Hao’s help, so he was sowhat prepared. However, the phenonon just now had still shocked him.
"Hao’Er, are you still Hao’Er?" Lin Tianxiao stared at Lin Hao and asked dumbly.
Creating a bloodline for an ordinary body... he didn’t know if even gods or demons possessed such an ability. Lin Hao was so monstrously talented that it all felt unreal to Lin Tianxiao.
"Third Uncle, of course I am!" Lin Hao replied with a smile, then had Lin Yuan enter the Blood-Swapping Pool.
Seeing Lin Tian create a bloodline greatly boosted Lin Yuan’s morale. He was full of confidence.
Lin Hao followed the sa procedure, once again helping Lin Yuan absorb the Nine Dragon God Refining Pill.
This ti, it took even less ti.
「An hour and a half later.」
Another phantom image flashed into existence before disappearing into Lin Yuan’s body.
Another successful bloodline creation!
The two Lin family Grand Elders and Lin Tianxiao were numb with shock.
The curse that one was dood to never awaken a bloodline if they failed to do so by the age of sixteen had been effortlessly shattered by Lin Hao!
If word of this got out, the entire continent would go mad.
But Lin Hao didn’t stop. He waved Shenshan over.
Although Shenshan wasn’t a mber of the Lin family, Lin Hao had known him for a long ti and was certain of his loyalty. He had no worries about creating a bloodline for him.
Moreover, Shenshan was simple-minded. Lin Hao believed that once he had a bloodline, his progress would surely be incredibly fast.
After all, not just anyone could reach the Third Layer of Blood Coagulation Realm by relying on a Cultivation Technique that couldn’t be more ordinary.
Lin Hao even suspected that if Shenshan had had resources to use, he would have awakened a bloodline on his own long ago.
With the previous successful examples, Lin Hao thought it would take even less ti.
However, this ti, things did not go smoothly.
One hour...
Two hours...
Three hours passed, and Lin Hao’s hands, pressed against Shenshan’s back, had yet to be released.
After the Nine Dragon God Refining Pill entered Shenshan’s body, it seed to be repelled by sothing. An invisible energy confronted it, turning Shenshan’s body into a battlefield.
Shenshan was drenched in sweat and in extre pain, but he didn’t even let out a grunt.
Lin Hao was also having a hard ti, because if he let go, Shenshan would surely explode and die.
Circulating the Godslaying Celestial Slash Skill, Lin Hao frantically poured his mysterious True Essence into Shenshan’s body.
Only this mysterious True Essence could restore balance within Shenshan’s body.
Another two hours passed...
Beside the pool, the others stood motionless, watching nervously, their bodies soaked in sweat.
To them, Lin Hao was far too important; they couldn’t afford for anything to happen to him.
"BOOM!"
Suddenly, a monstrously terrifying aura erupted from within Shenshan’s body.
A phantom image shot out from his body.
The two Grand Elders and Lin Tianxiao pulled the Lin brothers back and were just about to breathe a sigh of relief.
"BOOM!"
Another aura burst from Shenshan’s body, attempting to devour the original phantom.
Then, the two phantoms beca entangled.
The water in the Blood-Swapping Pool churned, and thunder rumbled in the sky.
A celestial phenonon appeared.
"PFFT!"
Shenshan suddenly spat out a mouthful of blood, his body swaying unsteadily.
Behind him, Lin Hao’s entire body began to glow. The halo of light gradually expanded, eventually enveloping Shenshan as well.
Within this halo, the two phantoms entwined above Shenshan’s head slowly cald down, finally rging into one before entering his body.
It was finally a success.
Lin Hao opened his eyes and let out a long breath.
’Shenshan’s constitution is strange. He definitely has his own innate bloodline. I just didn’t have any other way to resolve the conflict, so I had to rge them.’
"Brother Lin, thank you!" Shenshan turned around, revealing a pure smile.
There were no other words.
His body had been on the verge of exploding just now. If it weren’t for Lin Hao, he would have lost his life.
But Shenshan was simple and honest; he didn’t know how else to express himself, so all he could offer was a "thank you."
"We’re brothers, no need for thanks." The mont Lin Hao had decided to create a bloodline for him, he had already considered Shenshan a brother.
Between brothers, thanks were unnecessary.
"Today is a grand day worthy of celebration! We’re not going ho until we’re drunk!"
Lin Tianxiao laughed heartily. He was simply overjoyed.
"Alright!"
That night, the Lin family estate in War Dragon City was brightly lit, and the sounds of joyous songs and laughter continued until dawn.
"Wine... I want wine... Preferably so Laughing at the Mortal Dust. I haven’t had any in so long..." Lin Tianxiao was drunk to the point of unconsciousness, but he was still muttering about Laughing at the Mortal Dust.
Lin Yuan, also slightly drunk, hiccuped and said, "Fifth Brother, my father used to love Laughing at the Mortal Dust. Now his craving has been stirred up again."
Lin Hao smiled faintly.
He rembered it too.
In the past, Lin Tianxiao had appeared to be a dissolute young master whose greatest pleasures were drinking and rrymaking.
He had suffered for three years on Lin Hao’s behalf. Both for sentint and for reason, Lin Hao had to fulfill his wish.
"Let’s go. Brother Chen is about to leave. You can’t be late." Although Lin Hao had drunk the most, he was the most sober of them all.
As soon as these words were spoken, Lin Tian and Lin Yuan seed to sober up considerably. Without any further preparation, they turned and left.
They were heading to the battlefield, and Chen Tianyu had a rule: they were not allowed to bring any personal belongings.
"Right, wait a mont." Lin Hao suddenly rembered sothing. Before his words even faded, he had vanished.
When he reappeared, there was a long spear in his hand.
The Soul-Chasing Silver Spear!
"This is a good spear. See which of you it suits."
Lin Tian and Lin Yuan both shook their heads and looked at Shenshan.
Shenshan thumped his chest, which resounded with a THUMP THUMP, indicating that his body was his best weapon.
"You take it for now." In the end, Lin Hao handed the spear to Lin Tian.
The four of them set out from the Lin family estate. Lin Hao rode his Cloud-Stepping Beast, while the other three each rode fine steeds.
Along the way, Lin Hao unreservedly taught the three of them the spear techniques he had learned from Wu Zhen.
At the gates of War Dragon City, Chen Tianyu, accompanied by Ninety-Five, had already been waiting for a long ti.
"Lin Tian, Lin Yuan, Shenshan!"
Seeing the three arrive, Chen Tianyu suddenly called them out.
"Here!"
"On the battlefield, a single thought can decide life or death! Wine is the greatest hindrance. Dismount!" Chen Tianyu’s voice was incomparably authoritative.
The three didn’t dare to disobey and quickly dismounted.
"Giddy-up!"
Chen Tianyu said no more. He dug his heels into his horse’s belly, and his steed kicked up a cloud of dust as it galloped away.
Behind him were the thirty-six horsen he had brought and the soldiers who had passed the assessnt yesterday.
The three were dumbfounded.
Finally, with a burst of determination, the three of them broke into a run and gave chase.
’Jade must be carved to beco a masterpiece.’
After their figures disappeared, Ninety-Five turned back. "Young Master Lin, please co to the Treasure Hunting Pavilion for a chat."
Lin Hao’s previous departure had been quite sudden. Over the past month, he had already received several letters from Wenren Yuxin, sent from the capital.
Wenren Yuxin was under a great deal of pressure right now.
