Bab 12: A Bloodline For Change
"That's too expensive!"
What sort of bloodline was this that required more than ten times the price of a normal bloodline? Although others in the same category also boosted exuberant prices, none of them surpassed 1500 at Dormant Rank. But this Bloodline alone costs 3,300 at Dormant Rank only.
"That's utterly insane." Lin Fei voiced.
"Or an opportunity that you definitely shouldn't let go." Lin Xinyue added.
"But what if it's a hoax?"
"Possible, but not likely." She said, then paused. "Listen, Fei'r, this is a moment where you either play it safe or risk it all, so what will it be?"
Lin Fei bit his lip and stared at the Bloodline.

In but a moment, Lin Fei was assaulted by a nauseating sensation. His senses distorted, and he fell to the floor. Everything seemed to be spinning, and he felt like he was falling despite lying still on the floor.
When the moment passed and his senses returned. Lin Fei was startled to see the skin of his hands had turned ghostly pale. "Is this effect of a bloodline?"
"Mhmm~" He heard a moan from the side and was startled to see his mother's smoky form writhe in heated delight. "Just looking at you is making me so wet."
"But you don't have a body?" Lin Fei weakly countered.
"I didn't mean that literally, of course." Lin Xinyue retorted.
"What happened?" He asked. While his mother had always held that heated passion toward him, she at least kept it subdued. What had happened for her to suddenly start kneading her tits?
"You should look at your face and your eyes."
Lin Fei hurried to check his features in the mirror, only to realize there was no mirror. Then remembering the tub, he quickly filled it to the brim and stared at his reflection.
Lin Fei was aware of his looks and had always held pride in them. But what was staring back at him could no longer be described as mortal. Or even Immortal. The face that reflected on the water could only be called divine.
He realized his physique had also experienced a change. Being more defined and robust. But his eyes had changed the most. Before they had been of amethyst coloration, but now they were dark gray in color with distinct rimming of smoky blackness.
"Is it the Physique or the Bloodline?" He asked.
"Eyes are a result of your Bloodline, and so is your skin. As for your body, that's due to your new Physique." His mother explained.
Lin Fei sighed and ran a hand through his smooth locks of hair. They hadn't undergone any discoloration. Still, for a simple Bloodline at only Dormant Rank to change his looks spoke of its astounding potential.
"That was a bit disconcerting." This Abyssal Devourer Bloodline had floored him within seconds. He could still recall that sensation of the world flipping on its head and then spiraling into the unknown.
Shaking off the thought, he recalled one of his earlier rewards and started looking for it. It turned out that the notification still blinked with the reward highlighted and glowing neon.
Lin Fei focused on it, and suddenly a sword manifested midair in a shower of sparks. It was a beautiful sword with one part bearing icy blue radiance, the other flaming red. The hilt had a pronounced jewel that shone a rainbow of colors depending on the angle the light hit it at.
"This is a good sword." Lin Xinyue commented.
Lin Fei nodded in agreement. It was a good sword.
"But where do I keep it?" Since he had no storage ring yet, where was he going to store it? After all, he couldn't wear it and wander around the sect. That would be no different than inviting trouble.
"I could keep it in my soul." His mother offered. Then her smile turned lewd, and she said, "You know, keep your sword inside me."
"Ugh, mother." Lin Fei groaned but resigned himself to the teasing.
After keeping his sword away, Lin Fei decided to depart his lodging and take a walk.
It had been only a few days since he woke, and already he had advanced by two stages and even established a physique and a bloodline. Not to mention he had gained two Authorities and one Tier 5 Item.
He had told Chen Wei to visit him after three days, and only a single day had passed since. Lin Fei decided to use this opportunity to check out the Wisdom Hall.
Trial Disciples were only handed a single cultivation art that they had to cultivate for ten years straight. But they did have the privilege of renting a single other martial art during their time as a trial disciple.
Of course they would need to pay for it, and the technique in question cannot exceed Tier 1.
Lin Fei, however, had never paid any visit to the Wisdom Hall. He had long decided on his course of action, so what did it matter if he could buy another cultivation art?
Things had changed now, with his recent awakening. If he was going to stay in the Void Sword Sect for the foreseeable future, he had to familiarize himself with it properly.
Arriving at the Hall took only twenty minutes for him. The place itself resembled a library with bookshelves reaching up to the ceiling. He could smell the unique scent of ink and paper, and it seemed to have a soothing effect on his mind.
Lin Fei rounded toward a middle-aged woman and flashed a smile.
"Hello there, I was looking for a martial art on piercing techniques."
