45 Epic Lottery Ticke

Li Jing was sitting cross-legged and eyes closed in the middle of his bedroom. He was currently reviewing the events of the day to be sure that he hadn't made any major mistakes.

A moment later, he opened his eyes and a serious expression could be seen on his face. It seemed that for now he was fine but Teng Fen would surely keep an eye on him and his clan so he should avoid acting recklessly and stay discreet for a while.

As for the Zhao clan and the Hong clan, he will just ignore them. If the story goes on like in the web novel, Teng Fen will destroy these two clans in a few months so he didn't need to waste his time with them.

Thinking about the future, Li Jing remembered that he still had to make a decision concerning princess Wang Qing Yue. In exactly four days she will fall into a coma and the king will summon the leaders of the four Great Clans as well as the most knowledgeable alchemists of the city to cure her. Teng Fen will be there, accompanying his father.

The last time Li Jing wondered if he should be selfish and sacrifice her future for his own interest. He decided that yes, he should be selfish. Since his goal was to reach the apex, collateral damages were inevitable.

However, after today's interaction with Teng Fen, he wondered if it was a good idea to save her since it will attract his attention. Sure, the treasure inside the treasure room of the king was good but it was not a heaven-defying treasure.

It was an artifact called Qi Refining Bracelet. A cultivator who wore this bracelet while cultivating had his cultivation speed greatly increased. In addition, the bracelet purified the Qi absorbed by the cultivator making the Qi inside his dantian extremely pure.

When Teng Fen chose this bracelet in the web novel, the king didn't know its ability and thought that it was just a gold bracelet since there was a special way to activate it…

Li Jing wasn't sure that the purifying effect of the bracelet would work on him since the Qi he absorbed while cultivating directly went to his system and not to his dantian.

It meant that the bracelet will only serve to increase his cultivation speed. Moreover, he also didn't need to have the princess by his side since her unique gift was only useful two or three times in the web novel.

So, was saving Wang Qing Yue worth the risks and the efforts? Clearly, no. Teng Fen could keep this treasure and the girl, Li Jing had another treasure in mind. A much more interesting treasure.

But before going on a treasure hunt, he still needed to absorb more than four hundred thousand Spirit Stones to buy an Epic Lottery Ticket.

He decided to start absorbing them right now.

…

Three days and a half later, He finally finished absorbing the Spirit Stones.

Li Jing sighed. Absorbing these Spirit Stones took far too much time… He still had around ten thousand of them in his blood ring but he decided to keep them for later because inspecting his status screen, he saw that he currently had 510,676 Experience Points and could, therefore, buy an Epic Lottery Ticket.

'Buy one Epic Lottery ticket.' He thought.

[500000 XP has been used. Remaining XP: 10676.]

[Host received 1 item: 1x Epic Lottery ticket. The item has been stored in Host inventory.]

Opening it, a new notification appeared.

[Congratulations! Host received the item: Martial technique: Tyrannical Fist of the Nine Voids (epic). The item has been stored in Host inventory.]

[

Name: Tyrannical Fist of the Nine Voids

Type: Martial technique

Grade: Heaven (Peak)

Description: Deal a tyrannical blow that transcends the Nine Voids and shatters time and space.

]

Li Jing recognized this Martial technique, it was a technique created by Lu Hong, the Immortal Emperor of the Nine Voids, an antagonist in the web novel. It was said that this technique was unavoidable, unblockable, and undefendable. Too bad for Lu Hong, Teng Fen already had his Astral Body when he fought him so his body was indestructible…

Li Jing pondered if he should keep this Martial technique or exchange it for a bloodline as he planned to do. Sure it was a very powerful technique and with it, he would be able to easily kill Immortal Emperors once he would get enough strength. But before that, it was pretty useless because he didn't need such a powerful technique to kill someone with his current strength. Furthermore, by the time he would reach the Immortal Emperor realm, he would have probably already obtained Divine-grade Martial techniques from his system.

However, a bloodline would be useful to him right now and in the future.

'Exchange the item: Martial technique: Tyrannical Fist of the Nine Voids (epic) for a bloodline.' He thought.

[Exchange completed. The item: Martial technique: Tyrannical Fist of the Nine Voids (epic) has been removed from Host's inventory.]

[Congratulations! Host received the item: Bloodline: Soul Devourer Evil Boar (epic). The item has been stored in Host inventory.]

[

Name: Soul Devourer Evil Boar

Type: Bloodline

Grade: Epic

Description: The Soul Devourer Evil Boar is physically weak but its natural affinity for Dark Qi allows it to absorb the soul of its victims to gain their skills.

Effects: Host absorbs the soul of his human victims, increasing the strength of his soul and retaining the memories and skills of his victims. Strength + 2000 Jin.

]

'Excellent, this bloodline is a perfect combination for my Dark Qi!' Thought Li Jing, excited.

Outside of the Nascent Soul realm, the only way a cultivator had to increase the strength of his soul was to consume treasures or gain life experience through the years. Thus, the older a cultivator was, the higher the strength of his soul was.

The strength of the soul was different from Soul Power. The Soul Power determined a cultivator's comprehension capacity while the strength of the soul increased the power and the resistance of soul attacks. Increasing the strength of the soul was only useful for those who used Dark Qi or for those who wanted to protect themselves from Dark Qi.

'Use item: Bloodline: Soul Devourer Evil Boar.' He thought.

[Alert: a Boar Bloodline is already active. The system will merge the two bloodlines before activation…]

[The bloodlines Iron Boar and Soul Devourer Evil Boar have been merged. New bloodline created: Soul Devourer Evil Metallic Boar]

[

Name: Soul Devourer Evil Metallic Boar

Type: Bloodline

Grade: Epic (Variant)

Description: The Soul Devourer Evil Metallic Boar is a variant version of the Soul Devourer Evil Boar with a strong and resistant metal body.

Effects: Host absorbs the soul of his human victims, increasing the strength of his soul and retaining the memories and skills of his victims. Strength + 5000 Jin. Each soul absorbed also increases Host's strength by an amount depending on the cultivation realm of the victim. (Qi Gathering + 5 Jin, Foundation Establishment + 50 Jin, Golden Core + 500 Jin, Nascent Soul + 5000 Jin…)

Li Jing didn't even have time to be surprised that a strong pain struck him and forced him to fall to the ground.

The pain was as strong as the one he felt when he activated his Wyvern bloodline but thanks to his strong body, he was able to bear it the few minutes it lasted.

[Host has obtained a new bloodline: Soul Devourer Evil Metallic Boar.]

Once the pain stopped, Li Jing took a deep breath and slowly stood up from the ground, a dumbfounded expression could be seen on his face. Merging bloodlines? Since when was it possible? Such a function was not mentioned in the tutorial of the system!

Well, he didn't complain. With this new bloodline, he now had a new way to become stronger.
