Chapter 437 - 437 Baptism
437 Baptism
With the pressure of a great victory, this was both a deterrence and a warning. This man was not to be trifled with. If provoked, this man will slaughter you all!
The godly spirits who were peeking in the dark also retracted their gazes silently. They had all used the same trick before, but they did not expect that a human would use it on them.
When did the human race have such a powerful master?
Unbelievable, unacceptable, unimaginable!
Seeing that they had retracted their gazes, Lin Xuan was not in a hurry to show off his power in front of them. He definitely had to fight when the time came. Every God was an excellent resource for him as he could activate his innate skills. However, it was not the time yet. He was only one person now. Although he was powerful, once he left and returned to Taixia, there was a possibility that the Gods would launch a god-level battle and launch a sneak attack without any regard for martial virtue.
“Let’s take it one step at a time.”
Lin Xuan mumbled to himself and then picked up the three dead beasts. He smiled at the villagers and said, “Looks like we’ll have an extra meal tonight!”
He looked at the excited villagers of Blackstone Village and shook his head. He felt a little emotional for some reason. They did not realize how significant this day was going to be for them. This was a turning point in history. From today on, the human race calendar has officially begun. Of course, if the human race wanted to become the master of this land, there was still a long way to go.
He could already see hope.
Skinning, pulling out the tendons, and removing the bones were all done by Lin Xuan. There was no other way. With the strong bodies of these earth-ranked desolate beasts, even a mystic-rank fighter would not be able to hurt them, let alone the ordinary villagers.
“Your Majesty, are precious bones of any use to you?”
When the two priests saw Lin Xuan pulling out the precious bones from the three powerful beasts and casually throwing them on the ground, they felt that he did not seem to care too much. For a moment, some thoughts came to their minds. They immediately came over, but when they saw each other, it was inevitable that they would have some grudges against each other.
Lin Xuan did not care if there was a grudge between them. As long as he was around, this grudge had to be suppressed, and no one could cause any trouble!
“Why? Are they supposed to be useful?”
Lin Xuan’s interest was immediately piqued. One had to know that in the dungeon’s mission, there was a mission to help local ability users find the three fundamental cultivation paths.
Based on Lin Xuan’s understanding of the dungeon space, it was still roughly divided into three categories — profession, cultivation technique, and bloodlines. However, different worlds had different forms of manifestation. In this world, Lin Xuan did not know what they were actually like.
“Of course it’s useful. By using the blood and precious bones of desolate beasts, it can give the children a baptism of beast blood. The blood and precious bones of these beasts can make the children become Beast Blood Users!”
A Beast Blood User?
Lin Xuan’s eyes narrowed. He had a feeling that he had touched upon one of the fundamental paths of this world!
“Tell me in detail.”
The two priests did not dare to delay and quickly told Lin Xuan what they knew.
As the name suggested, Beast Blood Users were people who had the blood of desolate beasts flowing in their bodies. Humans were weak, but they had great potential. If they were baptized with the blood and precious bones of desolate beasts, there was a certain chance that their children could absorb the power in the beast’s blood and become extraordinary ability users!
The more powerful the beast’s blood and the more precious bone, the more powerful the user could be.
Lin Xuan frowned and picked up a piece of beast bone from the ground. He then looked at the three stone cauldrons filled with beast blood and finally at the little boy hiding behind his parents.
The first baptism of the beast blood was the most effective when they were four or five years old.
However, the problem was that Lin Xuan was still skeptical about whether such a young child could withstand the impact of the blood and precious bones of an earth-rank beast!
The two priests were also dumbfounded. To be honest, they didn’t know either. How could they have the conditions to obtain the blood and precious bones of a top earth-rank beast? They were occupied worshiping the python. Yellowstone Village didn’t have the strength to hunt for a top earth-rank beast either
The two of them looked at each other, while Lin Xuan shook his head. Being an earth-rank was already a large step into cultivation. If it was used for children to build their foundation, it was definitely not a good choice. Hunting for mystic-rank beasts was the best choice.
Lin Xuan was also very curious about Beast Blood Users. He told the two of them to wait for a while, then flew out directly. Not long after, he brought back a mystic-rank elephant-type beast.
There were also differences in the baptism of those with beast blood, and the main point was the choice of beast blood and beast bones. For example, the elephant-type desolate beast that Lin Xuan had captured had its beast blood and beast bones used for the baptism. The person with beast blood who completed the baptism would most likely obtain an increase in strength or physique.
This should be the Dao of the bloodline!
The corner of Lin Xuan’s mouth curled up. He was really fated with the path of bloodline!
This time, it was not Lin Xuan who skinned and deboned the beast. It was just a mystic-rank beast. The priest and a few other warriors could handle it.
A few strong men carried out a bronze cauldron. It looked quite old and was black all over. There was a strong stench of blood in the cauldron. Then, the priest excitedly poured elephant blood and some strange herbs into the cauldron. He lit a fire under the cauldron as if to satisfy some mysterious ritual. The blood in the cauldron began to boil, but the temperature was not high.
Lin Xuan was speechless.
This didn’t make sense!
The blood in the cauldron began to boil violently, and a thick blood-colored mist began to rise. Then, a few kids were stripped naked by their parents and were lifted out. Under the happy expressions of their parents, they were directly thrown into the huge cauldron.
Lin Xuan’s head tilted..
“Can they swim? They can’t even withstand the high temperature in the cauldron. They…”
The children were wailing in the boiling cauldron. They were the kind that could not be coaxed, but the other villagers only thought that they were funny and noisy.
This was the barbaric side of the world. Violence and barbarism were their main themes!
It seemed that there was still a long way to go before he could build a world of science, civilization, and order.
Lin Xuan stood where he was and felt the changes in the cauldron. The loud cries of the children did not stop, and their life auras were also very stable. In Lin Xuan’s microscopic senses, they were gradually becoming stronger. Their intrinsic bloodlines did not change, but under the influence of some mysterious power, they slowly absorbed the power of the beast blood, and then something in the human bloodline seemed to be activated?!
