Chapter 33: Bloodline Martial Artist

Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios

Chen Yang did not expect to meet a bloodline martial artist in Donglin Town.

As the name implied, bloodline martial artists contained various exquisite and powerful bloodlines.

Moreover, bloodline martial artists had extraordinary aptitude. The lowest-level bloodline martial artists had martial arts aptitude equivalent to seventh-grade aptitude.

One had to know that a seventh-grade aptitude was the stepping stone to Ningdan Level. Only those with a seventh-grade aptitude or above could reach the Ningdan Realm

In this world, be it medicinal pills, martial arts aptitude, or spirit artifacts, they were all ninth-grade as the lowest rank , and first-grade as the highest rank.

A seventh-grade aptitude was considered a genius in Jiangzhou and even the Great Qian Dynasty.

And this waiter was obviously a bloodline martial artist.

To be able to take in a future Ningdan cultivator as his personal guard, Chen Yang’s trip to Donglin Town had not been in vain.

“Don’t worry. You can rely on us for your mother’s illness. If you can make a contribution in the future, it won’t be a problem even to use resources to push your mother up to the Genesis Realm.”

Chen Yang knew very well that in this world, to offer a picture of what benefits are to come was quite attractive.

As expected, when he heard Chen Yang’s words, the waiter immediately knelt down. “I, Wang Xuan, swear that I will never betray the Chen family in my life. If I break this vow, I will be struck by lightning!”

The waiter also understood that he had to show his loyalty at this moment, hence why not make a great heavenly oath.

What a joke. One must be worthy first.

Without opening his meridians, he had no right to swear a great heavenly oath.

Even if he reached the Genesis Realm, he could not make more than ten oaths in his life. Only after his cultivation broke through then would it increase.

After all, the Great Oath of Heaven and Earth was the most exact oath in the world. Once it was violated, one would definitely suffer revenge.

Back to business.

Seeing Wang Xuan swear, Chen Yang smiled and helped him up. “From today onwards, your name is Chen Xuan.”

Wang Xuan… No, it should be Chen Xuan. When he heard this, he immediately knelt down. “Thank you for giving me your surname, Family Head!”

“Alright, quickly bring us to your mother. Are you still treating your mother’s illness?” Chen Yang smiled.

“Yes, yes, yes. Family Head, Great Elder, please follow me.” Chen Xuan immediately led Chen Yang and Elder Chen Xuan to his house.

On the way, Elder Chen Xuan smiled at Chen Xuan. “Chen Xuan, where’s your father?”

A lonely look came over Chen Xuan’s face. “I’ve never seen my father since I was born.”

“As for my mother, she never told me about my father either.”

“That’s right.” After getting the answer he wanted, Elder Chen Xuan smiled and stroked his beard.

“First Elder, do you know who Chen Xuan’s father is?” Chen Yang looked at Elder Chen Xuan in surprise.

“Family Head, you must be kidding. How would I know who Chen Xuan’s father is?”

“However, I’m sure that his father must be a bloodline martial artist. There aren’t many bloodline martial artists in our Great Qian Dynasty. If we search patiently, we’ll definitely find him.” Chen Xuan smiled.

This made Chen Yang curious. “First Elder, why are you so sure that Chen Xuan’s father is a bloodline martial artist?”

“Family Head, you might not know this, but the aptitude and bloodline above the seventh-grade are basically inherited.”

“For example, our Patriarch. His seventh-grade aptitude is inherited from his mother’s family.”

“This is somewhat similar to the bloodline inheritance of demon beasts.”

Elder Chen Xuan’s words completely caught Chen Yang’s attention. He really did not know that this aptitude was actually related to genetics.

Chen Xuan also looked at Elder Chen Xuan. This concerned his father, so how could it not matter?

Elder Chen Xuan paused for a moment before continuing, “Moreover, the stronger the parents, the higher the possibility of a monster appearing in the next generation.”

“If the seniority is far apart, the possibility is greatly reduced.”

“That might not be the case. Chen Xuan is that small possibility.” Chen Yang smiled.

“No, no, no.” Elder Chen Xuan shook his head. “Family Head, there might be an accident with his aptitude. His ancestors’ aptitude might not be good, but he’s a demon.”

“But bloodline martial artists must follow the principle of genetic weakening. If Chen Xuan’s bloodline was really passed down from many generations ago, what kind of expert was the original bloodline martial artist?”

“Such an expert’s bloodline must be known to the world, but I don’t know Chen Xuan’s bloodline.”

“Of course, it might also be a bloodline atavism, but the most basic requirement for a bloodline atavism is that the expert who inherits this bloodline must have a bloodline that has reached a certain level.”

“Not to mention our Great Qian Dynasty, even the nearby dynasties have never seen a bloodline martial artist who can atavism.”

“Therefore, it was his father who awakened his bloodline and passed it on to Chen Xuan.”

Chen Yang understood. So that was what happened. But there was something wrong. If bloodlines could only be inherited, where did Chen Xuan’s father’s bloodline come from?

Seemingly seeing Chen Yang’s confusion, Chen Xuan smiled and said, “Family Head, there are many treasures in this world that can bestow bloodlines.”

“Perhaps Chen Xuan’s father is that lucky guy.”

“What about aptitude?” Chen Yang asked again. He couldn’t possibly rely on treasures to increase his aptitude, right?

‘That’s true.’

Chen Xuan said, “It’s even easier to increase one’s aptitude. Treasures that can increase one’s aptitude are much more common than treasures that bestow bloodlines.”

“Let’s not talk about anything else. For example, the ancestor of the Song family was an eighth-grade talent. He found a treasure in Nanyang County and was promoted to a seventh-grade talent, establishing an eighth-grade family.

“Family Head, how can a treasure that can be found in Nanyang County be more precious than a treasure that grants bloodlines?”

“Moreover, his aptitude is not like his bloodline. Even if there are no high-grade aptitudes in his parents’ clans, he might have high-grade aptitude.”

“Let’s talk about this seventh-grade aptitude. Among a million ordinary people, there will definitely be one.”

“Family Head, aren’t you an example?”

Elder Chen Xuan’s words had already tacitly acknowledged that Chen Yang had an aptitude above seventh-grade. After all, only those with an aptitude above seventh-grade could reach the peak of Qi Refinement at the age of 19.

Chen Yang couldn’t help but sigh in admiration. Having an old man in the family was like having a treasure.

After all, the First Elder’s knowledge was enough for Chen Yang to learn.

“Alright, Chen Xuan, put your father’s matter aside for now. When you become stronger in the future, you will naturally come into contact with him. For now, it’s better to save your mother first.” Chen Yang looked at Chen Xuan.

Chen Xuan nodded that he understood.

His father’s affairs were too unreal, and his mother’s safety was the most important thing to him.

Chen Xuan led them to a dilapidated wooden house.

Before they entered, Chen Yang asked about the strong smell of herbs. Clearly, Chen Xuan’s mother had been ill for some time.

“Mother, I’m back.” Chen Xuan pushed open the door excitedly.

Now that his mother’s illness could be saved, how could he not be excited?

“Xuan’er, you’re back?” An old woman was lying on a sickbed in the room.

Although the old woman looked old, one could still tell that she was definitely a beauty when she was young.
