Ling Xi then stretched out her hand, and on top of her palm appeared a few drops of pinkish-white blood. "I met you to discuss this thing."
"What kind of blood is that, Senior? Why is it pinkish-white? I can feel an extremely strong aura from the blood," Lian Bing asked with a raised eyebrow.
Ling Xi smiled at her question, and she then explained it to her. "This is the bloodline of my old friend, the Yin Dragon. But she died long ago, and this is all that remains of her bloodline. However, if anyone inherits this bloodline, then their life will depend on Yang Qi. If they don't get enough Yang Qi, then their body will be weak, and they will die if that state lasts too long."
Lian Bing was really shocked to hear that. "Isn't that too dangerous, senior? Moreover, the one who inherits it has to rely on Yang Qi, it's really a disadvantageous situation."
"Well, you are right, this bloodline is really dangerous; my old friend used to have many male slaves to meet her Yang Qi needs." Ling Xi replied with a nod; she was also aware that the Yin Dragon Bloodline was indeed dangerous, and to support the bloodline required a large amount of Yang Qi. But that was no problem with Ling Yun's presence, since his Yang Qi is far greater than that of a normal human due to his Primordial Chaos Dragon Bloodline.
"Then why are you showing it to me, Senior? Do you want me to inherit it?" Lian Bing asked with a frown; even though she knew that the Yin Dragon Bloodline was extremely strong, she didn't want to accept it because she had to live by relying on the male Yang Qi.
Ling Xi sighed softly at Lian Bing's reaction. "To be honest, you are the most suitable person to inherit this bloodline, but it seems you don't want to inherit it. You and Ling Ling both have Ice Spiritual Veins and Ice Element, but since you don't want to inherit it, so my choice is Ling Ling. However, if she inherits it, then her Ice Heart Lotus will be broken. That's why I came to you to talk about it; she is, after all, your disciple."
Lian Bing fell silent and looked at Ling Xi hesitantly. She also felt happy if Ling Ling could become strong, but the price she had to pay was very heavy. She had worked hard for 18 years to cultivate her Ice Heart Lotus, but everything would be in vain if he inherited the bloodline.
Moments later, Ling Xi spoke to her again. "I know your considerations, but everything has a price and a risk. If you want her to become strong, then let her inherit this bloodline. If this bloodline is combined with her Ice Spiritual Veins, then she will become a cultivator with the strongest Ice Element. Moreover, her strength will be of great use to your sect, and she will also be able to assist Ling Yun in the future."
Lian Bing didn't agree with Ling Xi right away, and she thought it through first. Not long after, she sighed softly and said. "I can't decide this matter for her, and it would be best if we talked to Ling'er first. If she really wants to inherit the bloodline, then I will allow her to inherit it."
"Good!" Ling Xi nodded in satisfaction at Lian Bing's decision and inspected them with her senses. "They're done, so we'll go meet them right now."
"Okay." Lian Bing replied with a nod, and they rushed into Ling Yun's room.
Ling Yun was shocked when they entered his room; fortunately, he had just finished putting on his pants, but Ling Ling was still completely naked. "Why did you bring her here, Ling Xi?"
"We want to discuss something with the two of you, and this is for the sake of Ling'er's future."
"What do you mean, Sister Xi?" Ling Ling asked as she got up and sat on the side of the bed, Ling Yun also looked at her with a curious look.
Ling Xi immediately showed them the Yin Dragon Bloodline, and she then explained everything to them. As she listened to her explanation, Ling Ling's eyes remained glued to the blood.
Ling Yun immediately said after Ling Xi finished. "That's too dangerous, right?"
"Did you forget about your own condition?" Ling Xi asked back at him, leaving Ling Yun speechless, since his condition was indeed very bad. "Although Ling'er will have to live by relying on your Yang Qi after she inherits this bloodline, her condition won't be as bad as yours, and we can manage her conditions more easily."
"How are we supposed to manage her condition?" Ling Yun frowned at that.
Ling Xi shook her head at him. "That's very easy to resolve, Ling Yun! Even if Ling'er has to return to her sect, we can infuse your Yang Qi into many vials, and she can take them with her. That way, if her condition worsens, she can consume them directly."
As they argued, Ling Ling's eyes never left the Yin Dragon Bloodline. And after she heard that, she looked at Lian Bing. "Sister Bing, I-"
"Do you wish to inherit it, Ling'er?" Lian Bing was the one who raised Ling Ling from childhood, so she understood her very well. And judging by the look in her eyes, she knew very well that she really wanted to inherit it.
"Yes, but-"
"I will allow you to inherit it."
"Really?" Ling Ling's eyes sparkled upon hearing that. "But what about my Ice Heart Lotus?"
"Hey, Ling'er. You don't need to think about it; this bloodline also contains the Yin Dragon's techniques. If you have learned those techniques, then you will become the strongest Ice Cultivator in this Cultivator Realm." Ling Xi said to reassure her, as she knew that Ling Ling also found it hard to sacrifice her Ice Heart Lotus.
Lian Bing nodded to her and added. "Even though your Ice Lotus Heart will be broken, you will acquire some more powerful techniques, so it's fine with me, and you will still be a disciple of the Lotus Sect."
Since Ling Ling couldn't wait to become Ling Yun's woman completely, and she also wanted to become stronger to avenge what her father had done to her and her mother, she then said. "Give the bloodline to me, Sister Xi."
"We shouldn't do it here." Ling Xi then said to Ling Yun. "You'd better inform Ruxue and Su Fei about this matter first, and we'll do it in your Yin-Yang Chamber."
"Alright." Ling Yun immediately informed them, then he opened the Yin-Yang Chamber, and they immediately entered it, including Lian Bing.
Yin-Yang Chamber
Not only Ling Ling, but even Lian Bing was shocked to see that place, especially since the inside was completely otherworldly.
Ling Xi went on to say "Now prepare yourself, Ling'er."
Before saying anything, Ling Ling sat cross-legged on the ground and took a deep breath. "I'm ready; we can start now."
Ling Xi immediately flicked the pinkish-white blood, and quickly the blood entered through Ling Ling's chest.
As soon as the blood entered her body, Ling Ling immediately screamed in pain, and she curled up on the ground, as her hands clenched tightly into a fist.
Seeing Ling Ling being tortured like that, Lian Bing felt very sad in her heart, but she couldn't do anything to help her, because that was a process she had to go through to become stronger.
They continued to observe Ling Ling, who was screaming in pain continuously; her veins started to bulge out, and they could even clearly see her blood was slowly turning pinkish white. However, it didn't stop there; her physique also began to change drastically; even her black eyes and black hair began to turn pinkish white.
The process took so long, Ling Ling felt that she was about to pass out, then she bit her lip until it bled. It was only five hours later that the process was completed, and she immediately fainted after enduring the excruciating pain for so long.
After that, Ling Yun immediately picked up Ling Ling from the floor and laid her on the bed, and they kept waiting for her to wake up.
