Chapter 4 - Bloodline Testing

Coming back to the garden where Li Jie can be seen playing and running around with his twins, after some time when all three of them got tired, they ran back to their mother's side who was drinking tea while enjoying her kid's playtime.

while Li Shuangyan jumped to her mother's embrace, her brothers went to the table where they started gobbling the food present on the table, seeing which their mother laughed "ease on the food my dear boys, the food's not running anywhere."

She giggled and warmly took a piece of rice and vegetable to feed her daughter. Seeing such warmth and familial love made even the servants longing for their families waiting at home to be taken care of.

Right at that moment, the entrance door of the garden was open up gently as it was a rule in the Li family castle for anyone to not create any kind of noise or disturbance especially at the garden behind the castle which was taken care of by various servants,

the rare species of flora were tended to carefully and some beautiful colorful butterflies and various other small colorful rare insects were also present which made the whole garden breathtaking and a peaceful place to be,

looking at the on comer who was none other than the patriarch of the Li family with an amicable expression he came walking towards them slowly and steadily as if his very rhythm of walking has some kind of strength and charm attached to it, which would make anyone understand his strong aura.

"ha ha ha looks like you are having a good time my dearest Li Na" with a loving expression on his face he came beside her and kissed her on her cheeks which made her blush and looking at his adorable daughter whose cheeks were red like cherries he took her into his embrace while caressing her hair and in a loving way he kissed on her forehead.

"twaddy mo mor mor tkiss twaddy lwwov me morr'' hearing his daughter he laughed and flicked her nose teasing her.

Then he looked at his sons who were gobbling down the food like wild animals, and harrumphed "you brats have no taste, what if someone sees you both and they will think that we don't feed our kids enough ughh you brats give me all sorts of headaches" he laughed self deprecatingly.

Anyways, I just remembered what I came here for" saying which his gaze became sharp at his son Li Wei, "come, Li Jie it's time for your blood awakening ceremony all the preparations have been completed now only your presence is needed"

hearing which, his wife smiled "Yes, Li JIe let's go to your ceremony and see what kind of bloodline you will awaken."

"Yes, mother" said Li Jie, after which he wiped his face with a cloth, and drinking a cup of water seeing how his stomach is now full and hearing his father and mother's instruction to go for the ceremony for which, he has also been waiting for a long time very curious at the idea of a having a powerful bloodline which he got to witness from his father and other strong members of the family,

he knew he will be getting a gravity type bloodline which was a trademark of the Li family but his mother one time secretly told him that her bloodline is far above the bloodline possessed by the Li family of course his father isn't included in it due to some reason his grade of bloodline is different and it is also a variant never to be seen in the history of Li family, information regarding which his father will tell him in the upcoming future when he becomes stronger or at the same level as his father.

So there might be a possibility of him gaining the same bloodline as hers or a variation which can be stronger due to his father also has a strong bloodline, after all, a mixture of two strong bloodlines naturally will produce a stronger variation.

while walking with his family members he was reminiscing about everything his mother had told him and to be careful enough to never divulge this information to anyone which will only spell trouble for him and everyone he cares for and loves about.

after some time they finally reached their destination which was a cave in the underground where no one and nothing was present, the whole place was creepily silent.

Li Jie and both his brother and sister were shocked about how the whole surrounding changed instantly not knowing where they were and how the place was unusually dark which made them turn fearful but gazing at their parents they regained their confidence,

"haha don't worry this is one of your mother's ability to teleport, we have come here because I didn't want to cause any commotion outside after all anything can happen while going for the ceremony, so for safety as well as for hiding something from some annoying beings.

"after saying which he looked at his wife nodding and looked in front where a cave was situated with no door, it was completely open, a figure's outline could be seen coming out of the dark in the cave and greeting, the figure was of a hunched back figure with drooping eyes and loose skin, whose bones were rattling as if they would break apart any moment,

but his gaze showed wisdom and utmost confidence where he can't be shaken or easily break apart, he came to them and said "Sir, Madam, you have honored me with your presence and I am very honored to be holding the ritual for the eldest young master" where his sight went to the young boy standing near his mother whose eyes shown with understanding and intelligence.

The old man reached out for Li Jie's hand and after getting hold of his hand brought him to the interior of the cave with him with Li Jie's family members following behind.

The whole cave suddenly lit up from everywhere around them, the moment everyone reached the center, the whole area had a tinge of red and in front of them was a small table with a red ruby-like stone etched on top of it, it was the size of a human head and it was glowing in crimson color.

Li Jie looked at his father in confusion, his gaze had a questioning expression, and wanted to understand what is this?

looking at his son's gaze in understanding he said "this is a "Chrymosomic Crystal" which is not used in the outside world where barbaric unsafe and different methods were used to awaken a bloodline, brat make good use of it and absorb as much bloodline energy as possible."

according to the records the stronger a bloodline is, the more energy and resources it takes to awaken it, while many partially awake a bloodline and can only fully awaken a bloodline completely when a stronger cultivation is reached in the furture.

Li Jie understood and went towards the table while his family members and the hunched-back old man were looking with expectations.

Li Jie lifted his hand and placed his palm on the crystal whose texture he could feel and a hot energy also flowed out from that crystal and went penetrating inside his hand which gave him the feeling of holding a scalding hot iron, he wanted to remove his hand at that moment but he understood it was necessary and that his parents would never want bad for him, he tried to keep his hand on the crystal but it made him helpless, his forehead had beads of sweat and exhaustion and pain was on his face.

Li Wei, Li Na, and the old man looked with puzzlement because according to them the energy produced by the crystal was supposed to feel warm, not hot!!!

Li Wei suddenly rushed to his son and pulled him out of his suffering, Li Jie's mother looked at everything in puzzlement and shock not being able to understand what just happened, after coming out of the shock she placed her daughter down and went to her son she saw the surface of her son's palm burnt not knowing what to make out of the situation and feeling guilty for being responsible in making her son go through this suffering.

Both husband and wife looked at each other and then at their son with worry.
