Chapter 350: Great Patriarch

Translator: Panda_Penn Editor: Chrissy

Blood essence was valuable. The blood pond would be fed with treasured materials every now and then to create blood essence for disciples of the Lu Family to absorb. Someone that was not a disciple of the immediate Lu Family or that was not that talented enough wouldn’t be qualified to get into the blood pond.

It was because there were so many treasured materials in the pond that usually people could not absorb too much blood essence. The more talented the person was or the higher the realm the person was at, the more he or she could take in.

If warriors of low realm or of less talent forced to take the blood essence in, those ones would die because their body could not contain so much. Or they would experience extreme pain and pass out.

Those patriarchs remembered clearly when Lu Renhuang first went into the blood pond. He only absorbed half of the blood essence. Lu Renhuang was at the Eternal Realm and he was extremely talented. He was known as the freakiest talent of the Central Plains for over 100,000 years.

Lu Li was only at the Soul Pond Realm but he had taken in more than half and he remained conscious. Even though he looked to be in pain and his muscles were trembling, he could still hold on.

What did it mean when Lu Li at the Soul Pond Realm could take in so much blood essence? It meant that Lu Li was times as talented as Lu Renhuang…

The patriarchs held their breaths, waiting for Lu Li to stop, yet blood was still tumbling over and many strands of blood essence swarmed towards Lu Li and were taken in by him.

The patriarchs lost their words. The blood pond was getting more and more transparent. To make a full pond of blood essence would use up elixirs worth up to 20 million Xuan Crystals.

For Lu Family, 20 million Xuan Crystals were nothing, but many elixirs could not be bought with Xuan Crystals as they were incredibly hard to be found. Lu Li had taken in enough blood essence for hundreds of Lu Family disciples to absorb…

Finally, Lu Li stopped when the liquid in the pond turned transparent completely. He stopped trembling as well and he looked normal.

Those patriarchs looked at each other, filled with mixed feelings.

If some normal Lu Family disciple were to take in blood essence like this, they would be uplifted. The more a warrior could take in, the more talented the warrior would be.

But it was different in the case of Lu Li. It had yet to be determined if Lu Li really was a disciple of the Lu Family. When he went in at first, nothing happened. After a moment, however, Lu Li took in all the blood essence. This was too weird and out of the ordinary!

"Something is wrong—"

Lu Fenghuo sent his psychic power in and he found something. Previously, because of the blood essence, psychic powers wouldn’t work. Now that all the blood essence was taken in by Lu Li, psychic powers could probe into the pond.

Lu Fenghuo’s psychic power was strong. He found the glaring dragon pattern on Lu Li’s back. Those patriarchs’ eyes flickered. They were taken by surprise. This situation was so out of the ordinary that they could not understand.

After a moment, Lu Li opened his eyes. The dragon mark had stopped moving or glaring. Lu Li didn’t seem to be in pain anymore. He looked comfortable.

Patriarch Eight shouted, "Lu Li, come on out."

Lu Li came out from the pond and used Xuan Energy to vaporize the water on his body. Before he had any time to inspect his body, Lu Fenghuo said, "Lu Li, take off your shirt!"

"My shirt?"

Lu Li frowned. Many patriarchs were looking at him with coldness and were read for an interrogation. Lu Liantian seemed to be ready to kill Lu Li in one move if… Lu Li refused to cooperate.

Patriarch Eight thought about it and said, "Lu Li, do it."

Lu Li said nothing. He untied his robe, took off his shirt and only left on his pants. Those patriarchs went around to see his back and stared at the silver dragon mark.

The patriarchs looked at it for a moment and inspected it with their psychic powers. Patriarch Four, Lu Dixian said, "This is not some evil things. I think it’s some kind of special mark…"

If the mark on Lu Li’s back made them feel anything close to evil, they would have killed Lu Li right away. When Lu Li was absorbing the blood essence, the dragon mark could glow and move about.

Lu Fenghuo sniffed his raised nose. He glared at Lu Li like an eagle and asked, "Lu Li, what is this dragon mark on your back?"

Lu Li had already come up with an answer. He explained, "This is some sort of method I have been training. This is called the Dragon’s Fight. It can strengthen my body."

"Oh?"

Lu Fenghuo and Lu Liantian clearly didn’t buy his words. Lu Liantian said, "Then do it to show us."

Without any hesitation, Lu Li released his Burning Blood Skill. The silver dragon mark moved about and his body became stronger. Every piece of muscle swelled up, full of athletic beauty. His eyes glowed in silver light and he turned into a human-sized dragon.

Those Patriarchs were not surprised as they were all well informed. There were some strange body refining methods spread around the Central Plains. Lu Li’s body did become stronger.

However, no patriarch thought of Bloodline Skill. Throughout the history, there was no case where someone’s Bloodline Skill was on the back.

Lu Li put his clothes on, stopped his Burning Blood skill and went back to normal. Those patriarchs gathered around and moved their lips, discussing Lu Li’s situation secretly.

Lu Li seemed to be calm, but he was nervous inside. He waited for the result quietly.

Lu Li could absorb the blood essence should be able to prove that Lu Li was a disciple of the Lu Family.

However… Lu Li didn’t start absorbing the blood essence as soon as he was in there. But then he took in all the blood essence and there was such a weird dragon mark on his back.

It was enough to cause suspicion among the patriarchs. They could not tell if Lu Li was really a disciple or not. Lu Li observed them for a while. He could not hear what they were saying but he could get some information from their expressions.

There seemed to be three parties among the nine Patriarchs.

Patriarch Eight, Patriarch Four and Patriarch Five were nicer to Lu Li. Second Patriarch, Third Patriarch and Patriarch Ten clearly were not as nice. The other three seemed to have assumed a neutral position. They were neither nice nor rude to Lu Li.

The patriarchs kept on discussing and they would throw a glance to Lu Li every now and then. Lu Li had to wait for their conclusion in silence.

After the time for two incense stick to burn, they finally arrived at a conclusion. Patriarch Eight walked over and said, "Lu Li, something unusual happened in the blood pond so we cannot confirm your identity now. We think that we need to invite a Great Patriarch to come out. That Great Patriarch is majored in soul cultivation. He will search your soul to confirm your identity. Put your mind at ease. Soul searching will not harm your soul."

"Soul searching?"

Lu Li’s expressions changed. All his secrets would be revealed during soul searching. His Bloodline Skills, his animal tooth pendant, Little White and the fact that Lu Renhuang was in the Ice Abyss.

He was about to refuse when he heard some words on his mind from Patriarch Eight that carried a great volume of information, "Lu Li, don’t worry. Great Patriarch is loyal to our family and Family Patriarch. If you are really a disciple of the Lu Family, Great Patriarch will help you. He will not do you harm…"
