The woman said, “You have merged with the physique series bloodline, and I don’t have that bloodline to help you.”
No bloodline? Does that mean there is a cultivation method called demon sutra?
An idea crossed Su Nan’s mind as he asked, “Excuse me, senior, what do you mean by physique series? Does the bloodline also have different systems?”
When he got the Mountain Elephant Bloodline last time, he had such doubts, but unfortunately, no one could answer him at that time.
The woman was silent for a moment and said, “Demon bloodlines are divided into three different systems: physique series, secret power system, and law-controlling class. Each system has three corresponding bloodline powers.”
“The three bloodline powers of the physique series are physique, strength, and speed.”
“The three bloodline powers of the secret power system are essence, Primordial Qi, and divine soul.”
“The three bloodline powers of the law-controlling class are water controlling, fire controlling, and thunder controlling.”
“The first bloodline a martial artist merges with will determine the path he has to take for his entire life, as he cannot change it or merge with other bloodlines. If he does so, he will face a bloodline conflict.”
The woman obviously needed Su Nan’s help and spoke in detail about the differences between the three systems.
Su Nan listened quietly. This time, he finally had a preliminary understanding of the cultivation system in this world.
The woman looked at Su Nan and continued, “If I’m not wrong, your bloodline is primarily about strength. If you want to merge with a second bloodline, you can only merge with a bloodline that is also a physique series and mainly controls the physique or speed.”
“You can also choose to continue merging with a strength-based bloodline. Martial artists who take this single path have the smallest chance of losing control due to bloodline conflicts.”
“The smallest chance of losing control?” Su Nan’s eyes lit up.
If he loses control in the game, he will lose control in reality. If he can minimize the chances of losing control, it would be the best option.
Seeing that Su Nan was interested, the woman said, “If you choose to continue merging with a strength-based bloodline, I can give you a demon sutra.”
Su Nan did not answer directly, but continued to ask, “Senior, does that mean as long as I don’t merge with bloodlines outside of the physique series, there won’t be a bloodline conflict?”
This question was crucial, as he wouldn’t dare to continue merging bloodlines without understanding it.
“It’s not that it won’t conflict, but the probability of conflict is very small,” the woman shook her head slightly.
“When merging with a second bloodline, the first bloodline demon sutra must be at least at the Great Accomplishment level; otherwise, the chances of conflict will be high after merging.”
Pausing for a moment, she continued, “Moreover, this only applies to the Mortal Level. When one enters a higher realm, even merging with bloodlines in the same system can cause a high probability of losing control. The higher the realm, the greater the chance of conflict!”
“The higher the realm, the greater the chance of bloodline conflict?”
Su Nan was taken aback. He originally thought that as his strength grew, powerful martial artists would have the ability and method to resolve bloodline conflicts, but the result was the opposite!
This was simply desperate!
Since it is not easy for a bloodline conflict to occur as long as he does not merge with different bloodlines, he no longer hesitated.
“I’m willing,” said Su Nan.
For now, he would take advantage of every opportunity.
The strength-based bloodline is not only about increasing strength but also about improving physique and speed. However, compared to the improvements in speed and physique, the increase in strength is much greater, which was deeply experienced by Su Nan when he merged with the Mountain Elephant Bloodline.
The woman nodded and without any visible action, just raised her hand and pointed at Su Nan’s forehead from a distance. In an instant, Su Nan felt an influx of information into his mind.
At the same time, his Personal Information Panel showed a change in the Demon Sutra column.
[Demon Sutra: Mountain Elephant Sutra (Great Perfection), Iron Ape Sutra (Lacking corresponding bloodline, unable to cultivate.)]
Iron Ape Sutra!
This was indeed a strength-based bloodline, and to cultivate it, he needed a demon bloodline called Iron Ape.
With a Demon Sutra at hand, Su Nan was secretly overjoyed.
However, this was not enough.
He looked at the woman and showed a helpless expression, “Senior, the sutra needs a bloodline to be cultivated, and there is nowhere for me to get the Iron Ape bloodline here!”
“I don’t have the bloodline,” the woman said indifferently.
“No?”
Su Nan was somewhat disappointed. Having the demon sutra without the bloodline was useless.
At this moment, the woman’s tone changed, “However, I seem to remember there is an Iron Ape in the 12th prison room.”
“12th prison room? That’s great.”
Su Nan’s eyes lit up, but then he gave a bitter smile, “Senior, aren’t you giving me a difficult task? Without a key, I can’t enter other prison rooms.”
“That’s your own problem. If you can’t even get into a prison room, how are you going to escape this prison?”
Su Nan didn’t give up and continued, “Senior, you must have a way. By helping me, you are helping yourself. Only when I quickly improve my strength can I complete your task as soon as possible.”
He said this, just holding a try-and-see attitude.
The woman was powerful, calm, and didn’t look like she was imprisoned at all, which made him doubt whether this prison could actually confine her.
Or to put it differently, the woman might have a way out of this prison, but perhaps due to certain reasons, she didn’t want to leave.
Moreover, the woman seemed to know a lot about this prison, otherwise she wouldn’t have known about the monster in the 12th prison room.
As if persuaded by Su Nan, the woman fell silent for a moment and finally took out an item.
It was a key, identical to the one Su Nan had obtained earlier.
The only difference was that the key the woman took out was silver-white, with the number 1 engraved on it.
“This key can open all the doors of the first level prison rooms.”
“Open all the prison doors? There’s such a thing?” Su Nan was slightly stunned, followed by great joy.
He had originally wanted to get a way to open the prison doors from the woman, but he didn’t expect her to directly give him such an item.
[Kun Tian Key Number One: A special item that was secretly created during the construction of Kun Tian Prison, possessing the ability to open all the prison rooms on the first floor of Kun Tian Prison.]
“With this, this prison shouldn’t be able to confine you, senior. Why don’t you steal the Bronze Bell yourself?”
Su Nan quickly took the key and pocketed it immediately.
With this key, there was a lot more he could do in this prison.
As if thinking of something unpleasant, the woman’s beautiful countenance suddenly darkened, and she coldly said, “Don’t ask what you shouldn’t!”contemporary romance
Her reaction further confirmed Su Nan’s previous guess. He gave an awkward smile and quickly changed the subject, “Senior, once I enter the 12th prison room, how can I obtain the bloodline?”
The woman said, “The bloodline is the heart’s blood within the demon’s body. If you’re in any other place, you can obtain the bloodline just by killing the demon.”
“But it doesn’t work in this Kun Tian Prison. All martial artists and demons that die here, their essence and blood will be drained by the prison.”
“Heart’s essence blood!” Su Nan nodded, thinking for a moment, he knew what to do.
Since this prison would drain the essence blood from dead demons, he just needed not to kill the demon.
“You already know what you should know and have been given what should be given to you. Now you can leave.” The woman sat cross-legged again with her eyes slightly closed.
Su Nan cautiously asked, “May I know the senior’s name?”
The woman sat silently as if she had fallen into a deep sleep, completely without any intention to answer Su Nan’s question.
Seeing this, Su Nan could only say, “Junior takes his leave.”
He took out the previous key, tried to touch it to the prison door, and the prison door opened the moment the key touched it.
Su Nan left the cell and then closed the prison door.
Just as the prison door closed, the woman’s voice sounded again:
“As long as you bring the item, I will give you a chance.”
“A chance?”
“Who knows what sort of chance?”
Returning to the corridor, Su Nan immediately became alert. Fortunately, he didn’t see the Wolf Demon.
He took out the Kun Tian Key, and his eyes sparkled with joy once again.
This time, the greatest gain wasn’t the Demon Sutra, but this key.
Here, his Daily Task would refresh every day, and completing one task would reward him with a full 5 demon power points.
Previously, he couldn’t enter other prison rooms, and naturally, he couldn’t complete the missions. Now it was different.
With this key, the first-level prison rooms in his eyes would become a treasure trove of demon-power farming!
Of course, only he dared to do this.
Even if other players got this key, they wouldn’t dare use it casually, because nobody knew what was in these cells.
If they were unlucky and opened a prison room with a powerful monster, it would be courting death.
But it was different for him.
He had the power of foreseeing the future. He could just use this key in his foresight.
In that case, he could confirm the strength of the monsters in the prison rooms and choose the ones he could deal with.
“Let’s get the bloodline first.”
With the Kun Tian Key in hand, Su Nan immediately used his foresight ability.
