Chapter 27 The Demon Vessel

What is a demon vein?

This is the first question raised by Lu Jiu after thinking about it to Hu Sanniang, the old woman in front of him.

Although he wanted to ask why he was still beating around without his heart or what the dark golden heart that came out of nowhere was, this question, regardless of whether it could be answered, has exposed Lu Jiu's most important secret.

You can't tell people that they were asking for helping friends, right?

"Your question is too broad. If you really want to talk about it, it can be a day and a night. I don't have time to talk nonsense with you, so just pick some of the things that are most important to you now. What do you think of the strength of this beast?"

Hu Sanniang said as she lifted the bamboo cage that Lu Jiu had just pulled aside and asked, pointing to the weasel inside.

"It can only be said that it is average, but if you accidentally get caught, it will be a little trouble."

This is indeed the case for Lu Jiu.

"If an ordinary person encounters it, what chance do you think will survive?"

Hu Sanniang continued to ask questions.

"Twenty percent."

"That's right, it's about 20%. If I tell you, this beast is not even an ant in front of the lowest-level influential monsters."

The weasel in the cage looked up at Hu Sanniang, as if she felt that she had been offended. She then lowered her head and continued to pretend to be dead. Before Lu Jiu could speak, she continued,

"A millions of years ago, there were no firearms now, and the city defense cannons. If monsters were raging in some places, they were often corpses everywhere. These monsters had powerful bodies. Ordinary weapons did not play any role in them. They could also fly clouds and fog, burn fire and divert water. All kinds of abilities were difficult to guess. So someone began to think about what the gap between humans and monsters was."

Lu Jiu didn't say anything, but the scene of the crow showing the pair of wings in the alley appeared in his mind.

"Suffering is always the best driving force for progress. Through long observations and experiments, people in ancient times discovered that the monsters were constantly increasing in their growth and special energy, which came from the blood of the demon clan. They called it demon spirits. However, a few years ago, some people in the Imperial Heaven Supervision of the Official Family had already put forward a clearer statement, gene theory: that is, the blood of any monster contains unique evolution or mutant genes."

"The so-called demon vein vein means taking this blood gene from the monster beast. It is not to imitate or turn itself into a demon clan. The key is to use the demon clan's ability to continuously evolve to break the blood shackles that bind the human race."

"There was once a poem that praises: Heaven and earth make the genus of furnaces, and become immortals in the morning!"

"Since I'm talking about this, I might as well remind you. Perhaps most people don't care, but in the eyes of some people, the "demon vein" is actually an insulting title. A hundred years ago, there were only practitioners in this world who were scattered in this world!"

The palms holding the wooden stick tightened slightly, as if they were thinking of something. The old woman in the evening even showed a frightening momentum.

"However, there are also great risks in doing this. As I said just now, there are very few people who can obtain evolutionary genes by drinking demon blood like you. Most people who want to obtain this ability must rely on the alchemy recipes passed down from ancient times or the medicines studied by today's doctors... and this is not even the beginning, it can only be said that you have the possibility of breaking away from the shackles."

As he was talking, Hu Sanniang suddenly raised her eyes and stared at Lu Jiu. The latter, who was thinking, immediately felt like electricity was numb all over. Looking back, her pupils seemed to bloom with two dark green lotus flowers and the beast's eyes flashed and disappeared.

The strong sense of crisis made Lu Jiu almost unable to control himself and instinctively wanted to retreat.

However, just as the moment he raised his foot and retreated, his body suddenly became hot, and a loud voice sounded in his ears. He did not retreat but advanced in the next second. He stood straight in front of the counter, and there was an ice-blue light in his eyes.

It does not allow him to retreat!

In the blink of an eye, Hu Sanniang looked surprised, looked up and down at Lu Jiu's eyes, and said,

"All people who want to become demon veins will have to face an extremely severe test at first. Demon spirits with unruly nature will never simply surrender to human bloodlines. I think you have already felt this just now... Letting them surrender and then merge their own bloodlines, so that ordinary people's bloodlines can complete the initial evolution and obtain extraordinary potential is the first stage that demon veins must go through. Spirit awakening. If this step fails, it will cause the backlash of the demon blood, and there is no need to say much about the consequences."

"You are really teaching by words."

After finally recovering from the irritable state just now, Lu Jiu said with a wry smile.

However, just now he could have felt the spirit in his body deeply, and also understood what the crow said in the alley and before his death meant.

"Your potential is pretty good, and you should be able to help me a lot, so the last news about Lingxing is an extra reward I give you. If nothing is done now, you can leave. Come by before 8 o'clock tomorrow. I don't have time to tell you what your assistant needs to do. There is still something to be done later."

After answering a question, Hu Sanniang began to send someone.

"I still want to buy some demon blood, I don't know if you have it here."

Thinking that the question Hu Sanniang said every day should be just about the demon vein, Lu Jiu still quickly told what she wanted to ask, for fear that the former would turn around and leave.

The key to this trip is demon blood, and Lu Jiu doesn't want to go back empty-handed.

"There are not much demon blood in the store, so I keep it useful. You go and find someone else to buy it, but don't blame me for not reminding you that the demon vein may have bloodthirsty desires because of the demon spirit in the body when it has not yet completed the spiritual awakening stage. The most taboo thing in the spiritual awakening stage is to incorporate a large amount of alien blood into the body, which will only cause riots. Not to mention completing the spiritual awakening, your life will not be saved... Tsk, this is an additional information to tell you to prevent you from becoming a ghost thing that is not human or a demon before you can help."

He quickly said other information, making Hu Sanniang seem a little impatient and said with a frown.

What she said was wrong, at least it was wrong with her own situation!

The information revealed by Hu Sanniang's unintentional words undoubtedly made Lu Jiu's mind full of thoughts for a moment.

You should know that Lu Jiu not only drank the demon blood from the bamboo tube, but also the blood of the gray-feathered crow.

If the bamboo tube is not alien blood, so there is no problem, at least Lu Jiu can be sure that the gray-feathered crow is completely different from the black falcon he saw. He was pouring blood from countless gray-feathered crows into his stomach in the alley at that time!

The blood riot seemed to have occurred, but the result was that the black falcon was triggered, which not only recovered from its injuries, but also improved its sense of smell.

There is no need for Hu Sanniang to deceive herself in such a place that can be verified at any time, so it can only be that some abnormality of herself has changed this rule.

Which part is wrong?

After suppressing his chaotic mood, Lu Jiu changed his mouth as usual on the surface and continued to ask: "So that's it. I accidentally got a bottle of healing medicine before. The pills inside seemed to be mixed with demon blood. I have been injured again recently. So I have the idea of ​​getting some demon blood. I want to try to regain my injuries with these blood... I wonder if you know how to get the Ganoderma Tragedy Hall?"

"Ask the person downstairs who is looking at the store, he knows that you can leave now."

"Thank you."

Lu Jiu lifted the bamboo cage and bowed to thank him. He lowered his head but saw the weasel in the cage turning his head to look at him, and he was still looking forward to it.

When the iron gate was closed again, the old woman behind the counter listened to the sound of the elevator operating.
Chapter completed!
