Companionship, guidance, and Cultivation.
All of this became Zhou You's daily routine.
Perhaps due to the Heavenly Tribulation catalyzing the Medicinal Pill's power within his body, Zhou You's cultivation had further progressed, breaking through to the seventh heaven of the Tuotai Realm.
Judging by this momentum, it wouldn't be long before he could reach the Spirit Connection Realm, thereby Awakening his own Blood Spirit.
Five days passed quietly.
Zhou Chao had completely mastered the Vajra Unbreakable Divine Skill and the Invincible Vajra Fist.
Furthermore, his cultivation, bolstered by a vast amount of Spirit Stones, had already reached the third heaven of the Spirit Connection Realm.
In terms of age, Zhou Chao was indeed quite old.
In this regard, he couldn't compare to the potential of younger individuals.
But his advantage lay in his stable Heart-Nature, unlike young people who were often impulsive. Once Cultivation became boring, they would consider giving up.
Zhou Chen, on the other hand, made particularly fast progress.
This was likely due to her consumption of Medicinal Pills and Spirit Stones as aids during this period, in addition to her experiences outside.
The scorching sun hung in the sky.
Zhou Chen sat cross-legged in the courtyard, a posture she had maintained since early morning.
She was undergoing a new Breakthrough, and before the Breakthrough, Zhou You had given her another Golden-Silver Spirit Profound Pill.
The Golden-Silver Spirit Profound Pill's properties were yin-biased, suitable for females.
The small courtyard was very quiet; Zhou An had returned to Qingping City, and Lu Renjia had also gone back to Yaoguang Sect.
Zhou Xian's eyes were full of envy, and he whispered, "Grandpa, Xiao Chen couldn't really Breakthrough to the Spirit Connection Realm, could she?"
Zhou Chao glared at him, "Don't speak."
Under the pavilion in the small courtyard, Zhou You sat there eating mung bean cake.
For someone like him, whose cultivation had been unable to Breakthrough for so long, his Heart-Nature was sometimes exceptionally good.
Perhaps for Zhou Chen, failure would undoubtedly be very stressful and frustrating. But Zhou You wouldn't be; he had long since grown accustomed to it.
Under the sunlight, wisps of Blood Qi emerged from behind Zhou Chen, quietly intertwining.
This Blood Qi came from the body's essence blood; even when outside the body, it gathered without dispersing.
Zhou Chao's eyes lit up, trembling with excitement.
The second one; their Zhou Family was about to have a second Spirit Connection Realm cultivator. As for his own younger brother, he completely didn't understand what was going on with his strength; he still hadn't seen his Blood Spirit.
Zhou Chen's delicate brows were tightly furrowed, with a hint of pain in her expression.
As time passed, the Blood Qi behind Zhou Chen also became more and more abundant.
Zhou You couldn't help but glance sideways, sensing that Zhou Chen's Blood Qi seemed unusual; that feeling was very pure.
Simply put, it was the power of 'Bloodline'.
The stronger the Bloodline, the more likely the Blood Spirit Awakening would be very powerful.
There were always many theories regarding the Bloodline Dao.
The first Realm of cultivation being 'Fan Blood Realm' signified that during this period, all living beings were Mortals.
In the years that followed, everyone hoped to strengthen themselves through Cultivation, refining their Bloodline, thereby achieving longevity, immortality, and even eternal life.
However, in this process, some individuals were born with 'Ling Blood'.
Ling Blood would be divided into lower, middle, upper, and extreme according to its purity.
But how to test it, only a Sect could do that.
And the term 'Ling Blood' was just a common, generalized term. Some people's Bloodlines were incredibly powerful, with unique designations.
Thinking of this, Zhou You couldn't help but be moved. In fact, he had thought about it before, that he should find a Sect to test his Bloodline.
For example, Zhou Chen's could be tested.
"It's starting to take shape."
Zhou Chao's eyes widened, fearing he would miss any details.
Zhou Chen's expression relaxed, and the Blood Qi behind her surged uncontrollably, gradually forming some blurry shapes.
Zhou You put down the mung bean cake and observed carefully.
What would it be?
It couldn't be a Common Grade, could it?
Blood Spirits also had unique classifications, namely Common Grade, Ferocious, Spirit Beast, Divine Beast, and Divine Rank.
For example, Ye Qingyou's Peacock Blood Spirit belonged to the Spirit Beast category.
Another example is Ji Hao's Blood Spirit, 'Kui', which was a genuine Divine Beast.
It was one of the top-tier Blood Spirits!
The surging Blood Qi began to contract, and its form became increasingly clear.
Boom!
Accompanied by a swirling current of Qi, it impacted the small courtyard.
The appearance of the Blood Spirit was fully revealed; it was less than a meter tall, but exuded a fierce aura.
It was humanoid, with bulging muscles and a distinct circle of crimson patterns on its forehead.
"This is?"
Zhou Chao was surprised, somewhat unable to recognize it.
Zhou You stood up and praised, "Not bad, impressive, impressive."
Zhou Xian scratched his head; his knowledge was limited, and he also couldn't recognize it.
Zhou Chen opened her eyes, her face filled with joy. For her, as long as she could Breakthrough to the Spirit Connection Realm, that was enough; directly possessing a specific Blood Spirit was no longer a concern.
This was a niche mindset; as long as she had one, it was fine. Why care what kind of Blood Spirit it was?
Zhou Chao looked at Zhou You, "Little brother, do you recognize it?"
"Violent Ape King."
Zhou You smiled, "This is a Blood Spirit with specific records. Its grade is Top-Tier Ferocious, and it possesses growth potential."
"Ape King?"
Zhou Chao was confused, "How can you tell?"
Zhou You smiled, "Many kings among the Yao Race have very unique markings. The crimson patterns on its head indicate that this is an Ape King."
Zhou Chen stood up happily. As long as it wasn't a Common Grade, it was a huge gain. "Thank you, Second Uncle. Without you, I wouldn't be where I am today."
Zhou You smiled, "This is all the result of your own efforts; it has little to do with me. However, a girl Awakening this kind of Blood Spirit does surprise me a bit."
The Violent Ape King got its name because there was a type of ape Yao Race, and every single one of them had a violent temper.
Even if they just passed by, they'd give you a slap.
However, Zhou Chen had always given him the impression of being gentle and virtuous, and her voice had never been harsh.
Zhou Chen stuck out her tongue, "Oh right, Second Uncle, what does 'growth potential' mean?"
"It means that as your strength changes, your Blood Spirit will also undergo some changes."
Zhou You explained, "However, the specific circumstances will require you to explore them yourself. This change is not short-term but requires a long period."
Zhou Xian's face was full of envy, "So, that means if it grows a bit, it will be Spirit Rank?"
Zhou You nodded, "According to the records, that is indeed the case. If you absorb more Bloodline power from Violent Apes, it can also play a strengthening role."
It was already Top-Tier Ferocious; it only needed one step to transform into a Spirit Rank.
"Oh, right."
Zhou You turned to ask Zhou Xian, "Although your School is small, it should have something to test Bloodlines, right?"
Zhou Xian nodded busily, "Yes, this is a basic possession for establishing a School. If they didn't even have this, they wouldn't be able to recruit Disciples."
Zhou You said, "Then have you had your Bloodline tested?"
Upon hearing this, Zhou Xian gave a bitter smile, "No, I only got in because my family spent a lot of money. My performance wasn't outstanding, and they disdained to test my blood."
Zhou You nodded, "I want to test Zhou Chen's blood, and even my own..."
Before he finished speaking, Zhou You turned to look at the doorway.
A person wearing a bamboo hat and ragged clothes stood at the entrance.
