Chapter 774: Chapter 774: Asking for Forgiveness
Xiao Yifei lay on the ground, quickly dragging an old wooden box from under the bed, then took out a sandalwood box from inside the old wooden box. Despite its age, the purple sandalwood box filled the room with an ancient, distant fragrance as soon as it was exposed to the air.
This was the box his mother had concealed all her life, and Xiao Yifei knew only that it contained his mother’s most treasured possessions. What specifically the valuable, priceless treasures of gold and jewelry might be, Xiao Fei was also unaware.
Seeing the look in his mother’s eyes, Xiao Fei quickly opened the sandalwood box. To his surprise, as well as Lin Zhuyu’s, there was no gold or jewelry inside, just a half section of a withered purple-black piece of wood, about the size of a sugar cane and very ugly in its strange and bizarre shape.
"Mom, what is this?" Xiao Fei frowned and asked doubtfully, not optimistic about the half piece of withered wood.
"Fei’er, this is an ancestral bloodline object of the Xiao family, quick, drop blood to acknowledge the master, quick..." Xu Caixiao said with trembling fingers as her pale lips quivered, her face anxious and excited.
Chen Fei and Lin Zhuyu exchanged glances, both sensing an unusual aura. Without hesitation, Chen Fei bit his finger and dripped his blood, drop by drop, onto the withered wood.
Drop by drop, his blood soaked into the purple-black withered wood. After a slow absorption without any clear change, ten drops, twenty drops, thirty drops until a full ninety-nine drops had fallen when suddenly, the withered wood moved!
The withered wood violently quivered and emitted a burst of purple light. Then, it suddenly levitated, sticking to Xiao Yifei’s fingertip, beginning to crazily absorb Xiao Yifei’s blood.
"Ah!" Lin Zhuyu screamed in terror.
"This, this..." Xiao Yifei was also startled, unable to shake off the half piece of withered wood no matter how hard he tried. Even having seen many strange things in the Immortal Cloud Continent, he had never come across such magical withered wood.
Xu Caixiao’s face also changed; she hadn’t expected this situation. She was anxious as her life force rapidly faded. If it weren’t for Xiao Yifei’s acupuncture to stop the bleeding and protect her life force, she would have already died.
The speed of the withered wood absorbing blood was too fast, visibly like a pump; within a few instants, it nearly drained all the blood from Xiao Yifei’s body.
Just as Xiao Yifei felt the world spinning and could hardly hold on, suddenly, the withered wood shifted again.
With a bang, the withered wood exploded, followed by the emission of a dazzling purple-golden light. The mottled purple-black bark on its surface cracked and shed, undergoing a rebirth. The withered wood shone brilliantly, suspended in mid-air, seemingly like human blood vessels, with blood racing through the purple wood’s channels.
"Heavens! Brother, this, this..." Lin Zhuyu exclaimed in shock and panic, the beautiful Shenzi trembling slightly.
Xiao Yifei stared intently at the purple withered wood, equally shocked, yet a wild joy began to rise in his heart. A thing that undergoes such a transformation must be a heaven-defying treasure, he felt deep within that this was a cultivation treasure.
"Ah, it changed, it changed!" Following Lin Zhuyu’s cry, the purple withered wood underwent a rejuvenation, instantly transforming into a vibrant piece of purple bamboo.
The purple-black surface was gone, replaced by a radiant, endlessly vital purple sheen. The whole bamboo was transparent, shockingly purple, and inside, it looked as though a purple dragon was moving!
In the instant of transformation, there seemed to come a sound of a dragon’s chant, emitting a powerful, domineering dragon energy, so overwhelming it could make anyone submit.
Xiao Yifei’s eyes filled with shock. While he was still in astonishment, suddenly, the purple dragon energy radiating from the purple bamboo, dense and intense, quickly expanded, enveloping Xiao Yifei and then spreading out!
In the astounded gaze of his mother and sister, Xiao Yifei was enveloped by Purple Bamboo Dragon Energy, shining like a beacon, as it all burrowed into his Shenzi. Before their very eyes, the purple dragon energy began a strange cleansing, sorting, and even transforming Xiao Yifei’s body.
"Washing Marrow! It’s actually real, so, so wonderful..." Xu Caixiao’s fading eyes suddenly sparked with brightness once more.
"Ah!" At this moment, Xiao Fei let out a sky-long howl, his body in extreme agony. Washing Marrow was akin to reconstructing the body, refining the physique—such an excruciating process. He endured steadfastly, without uttering a single cry of pain! Yet the ferocity on his face showed he was in sheer torment. ƒrēewebnoѵёl.cσm
A full quarter of an hour passed before the Washing Marrow was complete, and the purple dragon energy was fully absorbed by Chen Fei’s body.
As the purple glow vanished, the shade of Purple Bamboo flashed and, astonishingly, flew straight into Xiao Yifei’s Dantian. Suspended in the Dantian, it began to reverse the flow of all the absorbed blood back into Xiao Yifei’s veins.
"Refreshing! Hahaha! It turns out to be the Purple Dragon Bloodline!" Xiao Yifei laughed heartily, overwhelmed with excitement. After the Washing Marrow, he felt refreshed all over, like he had been reborn. His body was now a true Fire Dragon Body—its strength and resilience surpassed that of ordinary humans by tens of millions of times.
What’s more valuable was that this body would cultivate much faster.
Amidst his excitement, an even more delightful message was transferred to Chen Fei’s divine sense from the Purple Bamboo.
The Purple Cloud Scripture!
Damn! I’ve really struck it rich this time. The Purple Cloud Scripture is the mightiest cultivation technique of the ancient Purple Dragon tribe that once dominated worlds!
"Fei, Fei’er, you’ve really done it, Mommy’s very, very happy, I’m going to, going to go..." Xu Caixiao, in her last moments, smiled with immense joy.
"Mommy!" Xiao Yifei didn’t have time to examine the Purple Cloud Scripture, and rushed to the bedside. The Purple Cloud True Qi flowed through his palm into his mother’s heart, safeguarding her final lifeline.
Xu Caixiao shook her pale head, only a faint breath left, glanced at Lin Zhuyu, and said, "Fei’er, this was left by your father for your cultivation. Originally, Mommy didn’t want to give it to you, thinking it would be good to live a peaceful life. But now that they want to eradicate us, I can’t protect you anymore. You, you kneel down!"
Xiao Yifei knelt down with a thud, choked with emotion, "Mommy, whatever it is, just tell me. I’ll make sure it’s done!"
Xu Caixiao, trembling, pointed at Lin Zhuyu and said with determination, "You swear to me, no matter what dangers you face, you must protect Zhu Yu, even if, even if it means your own death, you must ensure her safety! You, you swear to me!"
"Mommy!" Lin Zhuyu was moved and knelt down with tears streaming down her face. As an adopted daughter, her foster mother was willing to protect her with their lives. How could she not be moved and shaken?
Xiao Yifei was astonished, but he firmly nodded and said loudly, "Mommy, I swear, by the heavens above, I, Chen Fei, will protect Lin Zhuyu’s safety with my life. If I breach this oath, may thunderbolts obliterate me!"
"Good! That’s good..." Xu Caixiao gave a faint, satisfied smile. Her gaze shifted to Lin Zhuyu and with her waning strength, she whispered, "Yu’er, Mommy is now telling you that I didn’t find you by chance years ago, but a fairy, so, so beautiful, was pursued by killers and delivered you into my hands. She insisted that I raise you... The Blood Guanyin you wear on your neck should be related to, to your origins... From now on, you’ll have to rely on, on each other, I’m leaving now..."
"Mommy!" Lin Zhuyu cried out in despair, sobbing as she fell onto her mother.
"No!" Chen Fei bellowed, clutching his mother’s hand as it grew cold. He couldn’t accept her death, "Mommy, I will revive you, and I will avenge you!"
