Fighting Soul Clan Demoness

Chapter 455: Using the body of an abandoned child to plot something unprecedented among the eight clans

"Master, are you saying there's a way to temporarily slow down the rate at which my bloodline improves?"

Not long after, listening to Yao Lao's story, Hun Ruoruo's silent eyes suddenly lit up slightly, as if she had grasped some life-saving straw.

The awakening of the divine bloodline was too sudden and too rapid, even to a degree that she could hardly imagine. It was as if the purity of the bloodline in her body would rise rapidly as long as she meditated and practiced.
However, no matter where you are, bloodline awakening is only an exciting and joyful thing, so even among the Soul Clan, few people would record the secret techniques that hinder the progress of bloodline improvement.

There is no doubt that this is an evil demon that can truly shake the foundation of the eight clans, and almost everyone can kill it!
Thinking of this, Hun Ruoruo became a little uneasy: "Master, Ruoruo is not questioning your judgment, but this involves the Eight Clans. Even in Zhongzhou, it is difficult to find any clues. How did you know?"

Yao Lao smiled gently, "It's true that I'm just an abandoned child of the Yao Clan, but abandoned children are not incompetent. I also have secrets that only abandoned children know. As people abandoned by our tribe, you and I are not that different."

Hun Ruoruo's eyes flickered: "Master, do you mean that you have had the experience of sealing your bloodline?"

"Indeed." Yao Lao nodded with a smile. "When I was young, I loved to use medicinal baths to squeeze out my potential. With the accumulation of countless medicinal powers, the strength of my Qi and blood naturally far surpassed others. Even if I can't beat that brat, I still have an advantage among people of the same level."

"Medicinal bath?" Hun Ruoruo was stunned. "But, if Ruoruo remembers correctly, although the medicinal bath was quite effective, it was more of a forced improvement. Master's subsequent failure to achieve a breakthrough must be related to his impulsive actions in his youth, right?"

Being in a relaxed state, the girl blurted out what she was thinking without any thought. However, this unusual behavior obviously also attracted the old man's attention.

Yao Lao said in surprise, "Hey girl, I thought you were just being polite when you called me your idol. But now it seems that I wasn't being overly sentimental."

"I've only mentioned this medicinal bath experience to a handful of people. Is it possible that the book you're reading even records such a secret?"

"Uh"

Seeing that something was not right, Hun Ruoruo quickly laughed and made up a story, "Master is known as the number one alchemist in the continent. Even in a book, he is an extremely important character, so of course he will be described in detail!"

"Besides, you didn't deliberately hide your past experiences, so it's reasonable for them to be recorded."

Rubbing his chin with some suspicion, Yao Lao's mind flashed, and then he showed understanding.

Indeed, the eight clans sit high in the sky and mostly ignore the minor fights in Zhongzhou, but the Soul Clan is the exception.

With the Soul Palace, the foremost power in Central China, as their spies, the Soul Clan's records of the outside world are far more numerous than those of the other eight clans. Having records about themselves is no big deal.
Without further questioning, Yao Lao explained, "Indeed, my teacher was unable to break free from the constraints of Dou Zun. The biggest flaw was the accumulation of medicinal power caused by excessive use of medicinal baths. But what I want to talk about is not the medicinal baths themselves."

Hun Ruoruo bowed and said, "I hope Master will be willing to teach me."

Yao Lao waved his hand and said, "Regarding these matters, I am only speculating. I only have a partial understanding, so it cannot be considered as teaching."

As he spoke, he waved his sleeves, and in an instant they turned into an invisible barrier, completely covering the area where the two of them were.

Although there is no threatening person in the academy, it involves the secrets of the eight clans. For ordinary cultivators, even hearing about it would be a sin, and it is not uncommon to even bring about fatal disasters.

This is not an exaggeration!

After completing all of this, Yao Lao withdrew his hand and spoke in a deep voice, "Since Ruoruo knows quite a bit about Master's past, she must also be aware that Master's talent was actually displayed much later than other cultivators of the same age, right?" "Yes." Hun Ruoruo nodded gently. "Master was a late bloomer. After being expelled from the clan, he was able to distinguish himself in Zhongzhou within just a few years. However, before that, Ruoruo had no news of you. What a contrast."

Hearing this, Yao Lao looked down at his illusory palm, and a trace of nostalgia flashed in his eyes.

He sighed softly, "The Doudi bloodline has been the standard for measuring strength among the eight clans since ancient times. Although I intend to get rid of it, I have to admit that even though my own bloodline is extremely rare, I still cannot escape the cage of this bloodline."

"Although the medicinal bath was effective, it was far from enough to allow me to transform and ascend. The key to elevating my talent was the seemingly ineffective Doudi bloodline."

"I have a good friend who shares not only a similar personality but also comparable talent. Yet, even though we both used medicinal baths, the realm he ultimately reached was far lower than mine. It seems the secret to preserving the bloodline must lie within this."

Hun Ruoruo's pupils gradually shrank: "Master means..."

"Yes, it's 'compression'!" Yao Lao's eyes sparkled. "In the past, I wouldn't have dared to jump to conclusions, but after that little fellow replenished your Qi and blood, I finally found a solution to the puzzle that had been troubling me."

"Master, I can assert that by using the abundant Qi and blood power to collide with the Doudi bloodline within your body, it will be able to slow down the speed of your bloodline's awakening!"

Yao Lao's words were like thunder in the sky, shaking the surrounding flowers, plants, birds and animals so much that they couldn't help but tremble slightly, as if they had heard some shocking secret.

Hun Ruoruo was also deeply moved, and there was a hint of deep respect in her eyes when she looked at the old man.

He sacrificed his own life to accomplish something that had never happened to any of the eight clans.

When it comes to talent and ability, who among the people of the same age in the Yao clan can be compared with Yao Lao?
Hun Ruoruo's breathing quickened. "If what Master said is true, doesn't that mean that it was Senior Brother who saved me during those two years at the bottom of the tower?"

"That kid's ability to do something by accident has always been somewhat puzzlingly strong."

Yao Lao smiled approvingly: "However, having said that, with his current strength, he can't do anything to help you for the time being."

"Strong Qi and blood power will cause your bloodline to awaken later, but conversely, the Doudi bloodline that emerges upon awakening will be stronger. This was my teacher's influence. While it has only advantages and no disadvantages, given your unique characteristics, it is still a double-edged sword."

There are also differences in strength among divine products. The stronger they are when they awaken, the greater the possibility of being coveted. Yao Lao's move undoubtedly gives the right of choice to Hun Ruoruo herself.

Yao Lao's eyes were complicated, and he asked the same question again.

"Girl, are you scared?"

They stood facing each other in the same way, with the same hidden knot in their hearts. Perhaps the only thing that changed was their current relationship and the girl's heart which was once as cold as ice.

"Fear."

Hun Ruoruo smiled calmly, brilliantly and strangely, "But for Master and Brother, I will not regret it."

The trip to Zhongzhou, she finally did not want to choose to escape
