Chapter 98: Bloodlines And Secrets (Part Two)

"All bloodlines indeed have the same general potential," the Novice Scholar explained. "But Spirit Folk, for all the advantages we inherited from our Ancestral Spirits, have a weakness compared to human cultivators. If our bloodlines become muddled then our bodies can develop with weaknesses or contradictions in how our meridians grow and their compatibility with energy. It's similar to how Spirit Folk need to follow cultivation manuals that are compatible with their bloodline or risk cultivation deviation and it's also the reason that powerful cultivation families and clans rely so heavily on arranged marriages between compatible bloodlines," she explained patiently.
