After a while, they had taken a bath and were now resting. Max was lying on the bed with his head resting on Amara's soft lap.
Amara had a gentle expression on her face as she gazed at his face and stroked his hair.
Although she was feeling weak after the double extraction and wanted to recover her pure yin as soon as possible. But since she had the chance to spend some quality time with Max, she held back the urge.
Max was looking at his status screen, feeling a little excited.
[Lust points: 500,000]
With these points, he could easily enhance the rest of his mana to the three-star level and would still have over 100,000 LPs left.
However, he didn't immediately start the enhancement but looked at Amara and asked, "I heard your tribe has a special blood pool where you can cultivate and quickly increase your realm?"
"Huh? How did you…? Amara was surprised to hear him talk about the blood pool. How could he know about it? She was sure she hadn't told him about it yet.
But then she understood the senior must have told him about it. He was a mighty figure, after all. With just a casual sweep of his divine sense and he would know everything about the city. So, it wasn't strange for him to know about the blood pool's existence.
Thinking this, she nodded, a yearning look flashing in her eyes. "Yes. There is indeed a blood pool." She then sighed, "However, only people in the four-star realm or above can cultivate there. I'm still far from being able to cultivate in it."
"Why is that?" Max asked,
"Because of the blood pool's overbearing blood energy. No one below four-star can endure it and would go insane." Amara answered.
Max raised his brows when he heard this. System hadn't told him this, but seeing how it could do almost anything, he knew it must have some way to prevent that.
However, seeing how no one below four-star was allowed to enter the pool, her father wouldn't allow Amara to enter it since she was only a three-star demon. With this, his plan to tag along with her was ruined.
Just then, Amara's eyes glowed, and she excitedly said. "But now that I've awakened my bloodline, I can endure the blood energy and can enter it."
She then asked, "But why did you ask, master? Could it be that you want to cultivate in there?"
"Yes." Max nodded.
Hearing him confirm, Amara's revealed a helpless expression on her face and said, "I'm sorry, master, but my father won't allow you to enter."
"I know. But it's very important for me. So, try to convince your father and take me along when you enter the pool." Max seriously said.
"This… I'll try." Although she knew it was almost impossible for her father to allow Max into the blood pool, seeing how serious he was, she had no choice but to try.
"Good." Max nodded and then asked, "When can we enter?"
Amara smiled a forceful smile and said, "If my father allows the master to enter, we can go whenever we like, since it's usually empty."
Whoosh!
Max sat up and said, 'Alright. Start recovering your pure yin energy. Once you are done, go ask for his permission."
After saying this, he sat cross-legged and started enhancing the remaining 3700+ mana units.
Rumble! Rumble! Rumble!
As his finger tapped on the screen, his remaining two-star mana started to change slowly.
Not long after, all ten thousand mana units had been enhanced to three-star level. Immediately after,
Argh!
Max's brows furrowed, and a pained expression appeared on his face.
Phew!
He exhaled a deep breath, opened his eyes and murmured, "I need to strengthen my core a little more." Although he had already strengthened his core to the limits a few days before, under 10,000 three-star mana units' pressure, it showed signs of crumbling.
Swoosh!
He immediately took out another bottle of demonic liquid from his inventory, but just as he was about to drink it, system's voice sounded in his ears.
[Kid, don't drink it. The more you use external things to strengthen your core, the more difficult it will be when you try to reconstruct it. So, if you really can't endure the pain, use some of your three-star mana to strengthen your core.]
Hearing this, Max stopped, put away the demonic liquid bottle and started using his three-star mana to strengthen his core.
One…two…three…twenty.
After he integrated 20 units of three-star mana, the pain in his core finally subsided. After that, he used his 2000+ LPs to replenish the 20 mana units he had just used.
When he glanced at Amara, he noticed she had already used up half of the blood gem and her complexion had increased a little.
As if sensing his gaze on her, she opened her eyes. Nodding her head slightly, she stored the blood gem and stood up, preparing to go out.
"Mm?" Seeing this, Max raised his brows in confusion and asked, "Why did you stop? Shouldn't you recover a little more so you won't look sick in front of your father?"
Amara shook her head and smiled. "If I go like this, the chances of my father agreeing are high. Also, I don't need to use the blood gems since I can recover in the blood pool."
Hearing this, Max nodded in understanding, "Alright."
Amara then walked out of the room while Max lay down on the bed to rest.
…
After a while, Amara arrived in front of the main hall. The two old demons kneeled on one knee and respectfully greeted her.
Amara nodded at them before pushing open the door and entering the hall.
She walked up the wall at the back, kneeled on one knee and greeted, "Hello, father."
A moment later, Orlan's voice sounded, "Little girl, how come you are here? Hm? What happened? Why do you seem so weak?"
Amara stood up and calmly said, "Something went wrong with my cultivation, and I lost some of my bloodline energy."
Whoosh!
Just as she spoke, Orlan's appeared in front of her, and put his hand on her shoulder to check what was wrong with her.
Seeing this, Amara panicked. If her father noticed she hadn't lost her bloodline energy but her pure yin, things would get complicated.
However, there was nothing she could do now, since he had already sent his energy into her body.
