“After they reincarnate, if they want to ensure that their body and soul are perfectly integrated, they need to disperse the energy in their body and increase it again. If they want to increase their strength in a short period, they have to prepare a huge amount of resources and secret treasures.”

Lin Yuan revealed a look of understanding.

It was true that a Bloodian would need many resources to regain their strength after exhausting it all. It would not be an exaggeration to say that this place was a treasure vault!

This Bloodian expert’s soul was dangerous to Rememberling when it had a certain degree of autonomy.

The Bloodian ancestor’s soul level was too high, far exceeding Rememberling’s ability to control souls.

However, once Autumn and Winter took control of the Bloodian ancestor’s soul and allowed Rememberling to absorb it, it would be a huge opportunity for Rememberling.

Not only could this allow Rememberling to condense a spring through its divine kingdom ability, but it could also strengthen some of Rememberling’s abilities.

If the Bloodian ancestor’s soul wanted to reincarnate, her target would definitely be a pureblood Bloodian.

Lin Yuan had been using the Body of All Spirits to activate his bloodline ever since he entered the Land of Bloodian Ancestors.

Lin Yuan happened to be the perfect target for the Bloodian ancestor’s soul.

Chu Ci’s strength was at World Emperor/Divine Kingdom, which meant she was extremely powerful.

Chu Ci had been rather satisfied with her own abilities.

However, during this period of training, Chu Ci had completely realized her shortcomings. This made her put away the complacency in her heart.

Chu Ci had heard what Autumn and Winter had just said, so she worriedly asked Lin Yuan, “Big Brother, is it really okay for you to activate your Bloodian bloodline and make yourself the target of that Bloodian’s soul?”

Chu Ci was very worried about Lin Yuan’s safety. She had not had much contact with Autumn and Winter before. Even though she had seen Autumn and Winter display their strength along the way, she still did not know much about their strength levels.

If someone else had said this, Autumn and Winter would have already shown their displeasure. Chu Ci’s words were equivalent to questioning their abilities.

However, because Chu Ci was the one who said it, they definitely could not pursue the matter.

Lin Yuan said seriously, “Chu Ci, don’t worry. You know my personality. I won’t get involved recklessly! Autumn and Winter will ensure my safety. You don’t need to be nervous. This trip to the Bloodian territory is a great opportunity to expand our knowledge. After this journey, our horizons and experience will grow significantly.”

This was a rare opportunity. Otherwise, with Lin Yuan’s previous disposition, he would never have let Chu Ci participate in such a dangerous situation.

As Lin Yuan and Chu Ci conversed, three arrays lit up in the ruins.

More than ten nine-meter-tall magic stone statues appeared in each array.

These statues, products of alchemy technology, had different postures and intricate designs.

From the energy they emitted, these statues had all reached the Holy Spirit level, with a few even at pinnacle Holy Spirit level.

Lin Yuan was intrigued by these statues.

Indeed, Spirit Craftsmen would use their skills to create puppets. However, puppets made by Spirit Craftsmen could only perform simple tasks and usually lacked combat abilities.

Yet, these man-made objects were so powerful that nearly 40 stone statue puppets emerged from the three arrays and attacked Lin Yuan’s group without warning.

Lin Yuan asked Autumn and Winter, who were guarding him and Chu Ci,

“Autumn, Winter, can we keep these puppets? I think they would be very useful to Sky City!”

If these combat puppets could be installed on the backs of the Floating Island Whales and the Titan Rhinoceros Elephants, they would greatly aid in constructing the war fortress.

These puppets had endured countless years in the Land of Bloodian Ancestors and still possessed formidable combat abilities. Developing the means to create these puppets would be worthwhile, regardless of the resources required.

Building a puppet with Holy Spirit strength should not consume more resources than nurturing a Holy Spirit expert.

Winter raised his hand and shot out a layer of ice crystals, which landed on the stone statue puppets, freezing them immediately.

Winter explained, “Young Master, these stone statues were created by Alchemists, a rare branch of Craftsmen. In the past, there were many Alchemists among the Bloodians. Creating these puppets required a large amount of materials and fresh bodies. The power sources inside these stone statues are actually corpses.

“Alchemy was once considered an evil profession. A Spirit Craftsman needs significant resources to become an Alchemist, and the investment often outweighs the output. Fresh remains are difficult to obtain, which led to the decline of Alchemists. However, some large Bloodian clans likely still have Alchemist inheritances.

‘Young Master, after we leave the Land of Bloodian Ancestors, you can ask Qin

Yu to help investigate! I’ve frozen these stone statues. If we can find the main body controlling them, we can take these puppets and use them. If not, they will be mere decorations. Once the ice melts, these stone statues will resume attacking us as before.”

This was the first time Lin Yuan had heard of the Alchemist profession.

It would be ideal if there were Alchemists among the Bloodians. If not, Lin Yuan intended to nurture a group of Alchemists.

According to Winter, Alchemists gradually lost their inheritance because resources were difficult to obtain.

The hunting team was constantly tracking down star pirates, and their bodies were always fresh. These bodies were left for the Sacred Sword Wielding Queen, who clearly couldn’t digest them all!

If given to Red Thorn and Silver Corona, they wouldn’t need these bodies even with an endless supply of Tooth Rats.

Using the bodies of these star pirates to nurture Alchemists was the best option.

With so many stone statue puppets around, it was likely that the Bloodian who had set up this place was an Alchemist.

Lin Yuan wondered if there was an Alchemist’s inheritance here.

Autumn could sense Lin Yuan’s thoughts.

“Young Master, although the Alchemist legacy has mostly been lost, some books on Alchemy still exist. You’ve been trading with Fortune Treasure Palace before. An organization like that probably hides the complete inheritance of Alchemists. Even if they don’t have a perfect inheritance, they must have many books about Alchemy.

“The best profession to become an Alchemist isn’t a Spirit Craftsman, but a Creator. You have many Grade 4 and Grade 5 Creators under you. If you like, you can train them to become Alchemists. Only advanced Alchemists can maximize the effects of those materials, creating war puppets with many abilities. The puppets refined by some Alchemists I’ve met were even stronger than when the main material was alive.”

Lin Yuan didn’t lack materials. He felt it was better to recruit experts to guard the Floating Island Whales and the Titan Rhinoceros Elephants than to use puppets.

Normal powerhouses found it hard to withstand the loneliness of being a tool. The experts guarding the Floating Island Whales and the Titan Rhinoceros Elephants were essentially no different from tools.

The Bloodian who had set up this place probably had two motives for leaving behind these stone statue puppet guards.

The first goal was to test if the Bloodian juniors who came here were strong enough.

This Bloodian ancestor didn’t want her soul to be attached to a weakling.

The second goal was to drain a lot of energy from the Bloodians who came here to prevent them from resisting when their bodies were occupied.

However, Lin Yuan felt that there were too many guards.

There were more than 30 Holy Spirit stone statue guards, and a few had reached pinnacle Holy Spirit.

The Bloodian Queens in the Scarlet Territory were most likely incapable of handling this.

This was probably the main reason the Bloodian ancestor’s soul had never successfully occupied a body.

After Winter froze the stone statue guards, Lin Yuan and the others entered the depths of the ruins.

Along the way, Lin Yuan found many spiritual ingredients but wasn’t in a hurry to collect them.

After dealing with the Bloodian ancestor’s soul, Lin Yuan released a few Deposit Vegetable Pods in human form from the Spirit Lock spatial zone to gather the resources.

The Bloodian bloodline in Lin Yuan’s body was very pure. In terms of bloodline strength, his current bloodline was not inferior to Oin Yu’s.

Even though the Bloodian ancestor’s soul had lost most of its consciousness and become a bit chaotic, it still targeted Lin Yuan directly and pounced on him.

Before the Bloodian ancestor’s remnant soul could get within 100 meters of Lin Yuan, it was captured by two yellow leaves.

The energy from the yellow leaves firmly imprisoned the Bloodian ancestor’s soul. Its violent struggle vaguely revealed the appearance of the Bloodian ancestor when she was alive.

This Bloodian ancestor was exceptionally beautiful, and she possessed the pride and nobility unique to high-level Bloodians. She completely overshot Qin Yu, Tina, and the other Bloodian Queens. This meant that this Bloodian ancestor’s bloodline had already surpassed the queen level!

The strength of a Bloodian’s bloodline could be somewhat reflected in their appearance.

However, using one’s juniors as vessels for revival was certainly not the trait of a good person. “Autumn, help Rememberling devour this Bloodian ancestor’s soul. Once Rememberling absorbs the soul, I should understand the calamity the Bloodians faced and what transpired in the Land of Bloodian Ancestors.

“It’s fortunate that this Bloodian ancestor made these arrangements.

Otherwise, it would have been challenging to obtain these valuable items while wandering the Land of Bloodian Ancestors.”

Autumn and Winter nodded in agreement with Lin Yuan.

If the Bloodian had not forcibly preserved her soul, and if Lin Yuan didn’t possess a fey capable of reading her memories through his soul, there would be no chance to delve into the history of the Bloodians or understand the situation in the Land of Bloodian Ancestors.

To preserve her soul, this Blood ancestor had made numerous arrangements. The ruins housed many billion-year-old Mystic Ice crystals, and even Ice Hearts were present.

Though the 100-million-year-old Mystic Ice and Ice Hearts had mostly disappeared over time, traces still remained.

The leaves of the Soul-Retaining Grass had withered, but this resilient plant-species fey could last millions of years.

These hundred-million-year-old Mystic Ice and Ice Hearts helped extend the lifespan of the Soul-Retaining Grass. Without them, the Bloodian ancestor’s soul would have dissipated long ago.

Autumn nodded at Lin Yuan’s instructions and said, “Young Master, it’s easy for you to control this Bloodian’s soul and let your feys devour it. Under my control, this Bloodian’s soul won’t be able to resist. However, I need to separate her soul first. The force controlling the stone statue puppets outside is hidden in the soul of this Bloodian ancestor. I was curious why those stone statue puppets followed orders so precisely, but now I understand.”

With that, one of the fallen leaves burrowed into the Bloodian’s soul and extracted a translucent crystal.

Autumn presented the crvstal to Lin Yuan.

“Young Master, this is a Soul Nourishing Spirit Crystal, a high-end treasure that can enhance soul power. This crystal has already fused with the Bloodian ancestor. Removing it now will make it lose its nurturing effect. However, it controls the thirty-odd stone statue puppets frozen by Winter outside.”

Lin Yuan examined the transparent crystal, smaller than half his fingernail, and thought to himself that if it fell to the ground, very few would notice it.

Using this tiny crystal to control over thirty Holy Spirit-level puppets would be a significant advantage for Lin Yuan.

If any Bloodian Queen could control these stone statue puppets, her clan would dominate the other Bloodian clans.

The Bloodian Queens had transcended the Holy Spirit level, but the strength at the Holy Spirit level matched that of the Bloodian kings.

No matter how prosperous the Bloodian clans in the Scarlet Territory were, there were usually no more than ten Bloodian kings. For instance, there were only two Bloodian kings in Qin Yu’s Elisa clan.

Rememberling happily absorbed the Blood ancestor’s soul. With Autumn’s assistance in suppressing the Bloodian ancestor’s soul, the absorption process went smoothly..
