Starting My Cultivation With Time Management-Chapter 933 - 73: 3 Bloodlines, Successfully Fused

After a long time spent within Beiming Fanyang, Elder Long Yuan finally completed the plan for bloodline fusion.

With the triple guarantees of formations, spiritual medicine, and secret techniques, everything should be foolproof—both Ah Jing and the Summoning Sword had reviewed the plan, and there seemed to be no issues.

Next, all that remained was to initiate the bloodline fusion formally.

Following Long Long’s commands, the entire Beiming Fanyang quickly went into lockdown.

At the peak of the glacier, Long Hu sat cross-legged, channeling the secret technique. Sweat faintly appeared on her forehead.

The pendant made from fragments of the Heaven-Mending Stone had already been taken off and placed aside.

As the seal concluded, the Dragon Clan bloodline within her began to stir.

The dragon blood, inherently fierce and volatile, coupled with the stimulation from foreign bloodlines, caused all the dragon blood in her body to start boiling… Before long, sweat seeped from her entire body, drenching her garments front and back.

Long Long stood outside the formation, expressionless, scanning Long Hu over and over again in silence.

Although Long Hu’s reactions were exactly as predicted in the bloodline fusion plan, seeing the little fox show such painful expressions still made Long Long feel a pang of heartache, wishing he could take her place.

Finally, under the intense stimulation and pressure exerted by the dragon blood, the Celestial Fox bloodline and Human Race bloodline also began to activate.

If the dragon blood was akin to blazing flames, the Celestial Fox bloodline was like the moonlight of a deep winter night—cold, eerie, and tranquil.

In comparison to the two peculiar and distinct Demon Race bloodlines, the Human Race bloodline was balanced and harmonious, lacking any chaotic transformations. It simply flowed quietly through the limbs and bones, resisting the invasive burning of the dragon blood.

Long Hu suddenly opened her eyes.

The pupils within her eyes had already transformed into majestic golden vertical slits.

She looked down beside her and gently picked up a Purifying Bottle from the floor, uncorked it, and drank its contents in one gulp.

The liquid inside, called "Feathered Venom Water," was a potent poison from South State’s Feathered Clan, one of the few rare items stored in Beiming Fanyang.

If consumed in excess, even ancestors of the Immortal Realm could face the risk of bodily decay. However, Elder Long Yuan had precisely calculated the dosage to contain only enough concentration to kill ordinary demonic beasts, ensuring it wouldn’t harm Long Hu herself.

As the Feathered Venom Water entered her stomach, its freezing sensation quickly spread.

Long Hu felt as though her abdomen suddenly lost all feeling, followed by a faint pain creeping from her dantian to her sea of consciousness.

In that moment, the dragon blood, Celestial Fox bloodline, and Human Race bloodline, which had been in fierce conflict, simultaneously ceased their struggles, converging toward the dantian to jointly resist the corrosion and assault of the Feathered Venom Water.

The reason was simple: whether dragon, fox, or human bloodlines, at their core, all belonged to Long Hu’s body.

Though they were incompatible with one another, when the body faced a severe threat, they instinctively activated their protective bond—after all, if the body were invaded, what point was there in continuing their conflicts?

Long Hu endured the pain with effort and began to channel the secret technique contained within the jade slip.

This secret technique, though modified by Elder Long Yuan, was originally provided by the Summoning Sword.

The dual swords of Tai Yin and Solar chose their master by embedding themselves in the Sword Master’s body for cultivation, essentially a reverse version of the "method of nurturing swords with one’s body" practiced by the Shushan Sword Immortal.

Through this process, they even infused the Sword Master’s meridians with the essence of the sword body, improving the master’s root bone.

As for drawing and fusing two distinct bloodlines, it was an impossible feat in the Eastern Emperor Realm. However, for the Divine Swords Tai Yin and Solar, it was a minor matter.

As Long Hu began channeling the secret technique, the three bloodlines, though still distinct and unmixed, began showing subtle signs of convergence under the encroachment of the Feathered Venom Water.

These phenomena were observed crystal-clear by Long Long through the Kunlun Mirror’s scanning.

With a thoughtful expression, he asked the Summoning Sword:

"Summoning Sword, is there a possibility that you always knew this secret technique could resolve the conflict in Long Hu’s bloodlines, but you feigned ignorance just to watch me struggle and let Long Hu and me wander tirelessly all these years?"

"Sword Master, you’ve misunderstood me," Summoning Sword replied seriously. "Though I know this secret technique, it was primarily intended to integrate my spiritual power with your root bone, so I could better serve you… As for resolving someone else’s bloodline conflict, why would I think about that? After all, I’m just a sword, not some healer who sees a patient and instinctively wonders if I can cure them."

"Really?" Long Long scratched his chin thoughtfully. "Not considering that possibility is a reason… But didn’t you intervene before to stabilize the fusion of the Human Race and Celestial Fox bloodlines in Long Hu’s mother during her pregnancy?"

"Sword Master, your memory is failing you," Summoning Sword replied earnestly. "I’ve already said, that wasn’t my doing. As a Divine Sword of the Human Race, how could I ever fraternize with the Demon Race, let alone help stabilize the bloodlines in a demon’s unborn child?"

"Then how could you, a Divine Sword of the Human Race, end up recognizing a Demon Race as your master?"

"It’s because I didn’t realize initially!" Summoning Sword argued, "The entire Human Race failed to detect her true nature as a Celestial Fox. Isn’t it normal for me to make the same mistake? Besides, even the renowned righteous sect of the Three Pure Ones mistook you, an undercover traitor, as the rightful heir to their sect leader…"

"Stop." Long Long cut it off abruptly. "Hmm, judging by Long Hu’s current state, what are the chances of successful fusion?"

"Not ten out of ten," Summoning Sword replied cautiously, "but nine out of ten should be achievable."

Kunlun Mirror added:

"The dragon and Celestial Fox bloodlines are highly incompatible—one is fiercely intense, while the other is supremely gentle. However, with the Human Race bloodline buffering them, coexistence is not out of the question."

"Furthermore, sealed away by the Heaven-Mending Stone for so many years, these three bloodlines have been subtly influencing each other, though the degree hasn’t yet been enough to overcome their conflict."

"As long as the secret technique is accurately applied, the Feathered Venom Water should be expunged within three hours."

Ah Jing had calculated three hours precisely, and it was spot on.

By late afternoon, Long Hu finally opened her eyes slowly, brought the Purifying Bottle to her mouth, and spat out a large mouthful of ink-black poison.

At this moment, in Long Long’s scanning field of vision, the three distinct bloodlines within Long Hu’s body resembled threads of different colors, tightly entwined into an intricate "three-colored rope."

Though the foreign bloodlines remained inherently distinct and incapable of perfectly merging like water and alcohol, their "interwoven state"—where each contained elements of the other—meant that endless conflict was no longer inevitable.

"How are you feeling, Fox?" Seeing that Long Hu had regained her awareness, Long Long hurriedly walked up and leaned down to help her up.

As for the pendant made of Heaven-Mending Stone fragments, he casually kicked it aside, as if it no longer held any value.
