Chapter 57: Sin Blood Potion, Fallen Vampire Clan
After discussing Zhou Wen being a traitor and intelligence on the Blood Demon monsters, the car fell silent.
Seeing this, Bai Yu seized every moment and began circulating the Great Heavenly Cycle.
Striving to obtain today’s intelligence fragments!
Faintly, blue lightning could be seen coursing and flashing through his meridians and blood vessels.
This energy did not harm his body; instead, it strengthened it, belonging to the electricity of transcendent beings. This seemed to be a characteristic of his Ancient God Zhang Jiao’s spiritual energy.
Zhao Bin, observing from the side, watched Bai Yu circulate the Heavenly Cycle, his brow furrowing tighter and tighter.
After completing one cycle, he couldn’t help but ask, “Why is your speed so fast?”
“The residual effect of the potion.”
“Potion?”
“Yeah, didn’t I give you guys some last night? You didn’t drink it?”
Zhao Bin felt a bit embarrassed upon hearing this.
Liu Feifei proudly raised her small hand and said, “I drank it!”
“Good! Good! Worthy of praise.”
After praising her, Bai Yu looked at the expressions of the others and couldn’t help but criticize, “Where’s the trust between brothers?”
Around nine in the morning.
Yunhu Antique Street.
“Antique blue and white porcelain, anyone with an eye for it come take a look?”
Bai Yu: This blue and white is crooked. If this were ancient times, daring to hand it in would mean execution and extermination of the clan! How is it ancestral?
The group quickly walked into the antique street, heading towards their target: the Red Moon Antique Shop.
However, the body bags being carried were truly eye-catching!
Bai Yu unconsciously put some distance between himself and Jiang Chen.
Not familiar at all!
Red Moon Antique Shop.
Various wooden furniture were displayed inside, and the overall atmosphere was dim.
Approaching the shop, a chill could be felt.
As if hearing someone enter, a young man quickly came out to greet them, “Several customers…”
But upon seeing Bai Yu and the others, his smile froze.
Bai Yu also glanced at the young man.
Isn’t this the vampire who was planning to discuss life with his cousin and teach her foreign languages?
Why is he working here?
But thinking that the shop owner was a Big Boss, he felt relieved.
It’s probably a problem of re-employment for non-capital offense alien races.
After freezing for a moment, the man said, “What would you customers like to buy?”
Li Yunbin didn’t answer but looked towards the stairs.
There, a middle-aged man had silently walked to the middle of the stairs.
This person was Zheng Guoyi!
His skin had a peculiar pallor, and he had very few wrinkles.
He glanced at the black plastic bags that had been brought over and said, “Everyone come up.”
“Xiao Chen, close the door.”
“Understood!”
Everyone walked towards the stairs.
As Bai Yu passed the man, he stopped and patted his shoulder. The man’s legs felt weak, and he could barely stand.
“Xiao Chen, keep up the good work. Perhaps one day, my cousin’s old ailment will act up again, and you’ll need to help treat and educate her.”
“Understood, understood, Big Boss. Please come upstairs.”
He still vividly remembered the tingling sensation of the lightning that night!
Second floor.
Jiang Chen and the other quickly opened the body bags.
Upon seeing the corpse of the Vampire Clan Modified Being, Zheng Guoyi bent down, picked up an arm, and examined it carefully.
The monster’s skin was thin, allowing the muscle tissue beneath to be clearly seen.
After studying it for a while, Zheng Guoyi lightly drew his finger across the skin, opening a cut and revealing crimson blood.
Unexpectedly, Zheng Guoyi smeared it with his hand, brought it to his mouth, and licked it clean!
Seeing this scene, Bai Yu’s skin crawled.
‘My goodness, truly worthy of someone who obtained the bloodline of a Vampire Earl.’
After tasting it for a moment, Zheng Guoyi spoke, “Compared to previous versions, this modified creature has indeed improved significantly. When you killed it, you must have noticed its strong regenerative ability, right?”
Li Yunbin nodded, “Indeed! Their combat power might only be around Level Ten, but attacks from ordinary Spirit Yuan Realm cultivators couldn’t inflict much damage on them.”
Bai Yu deeply agreed.
Truly difficult to kill! They could withstand my three lightning cannons without falling.
Li Yunbin continued, “Previously, at the Spirit Garden in Qingyuan Villa, there was a theft of spiritual materials. In the surveillance footage, there was also a suspected Vampire Clan Modified Being. That one looked even more advanced, but unfortunately, we haven’t apprehended it yet.”
“Mm, I know.”
“Old Zheng has seen it?”
“Not exactly. I just know that such monsters will inevitably have stronger improved versions.”
“Old Zheng, what have you researched?”
Upon hearing this question, Old Zheng didn’t answer but looked at the others and said, “You all go outside and browse for a while.”
These words were clearly a dismissal.
This made Bai Yu, whose interest had been piqued, somewhat dejected.
‘Small problem, I’ll get information from the intelligence myself!’
After Bai Yu and the others left, Zheng Guoyi took out an item from a nearby cabinet: a Blood Vial!
To be honest, despite capturing so many Blood Slaves, Li Yunbin and the others had never seen what the Blood Vial potions drunk by these creatures looked like.
But the moment Li Yunbin saw this, he felt that this was indeed a Blood Vial!
“Old Zheng, this is…”
“This is the reason why these people were transformed into Blood Slaves.”
“Where did you get it from?”
“The night before last, when I was out, I happened to encounter it. A young lady was about to drink it, but I snatched it away. After I took this item, I sensed a crisis, as if someone was watching me and harbored killing intent towards me. However, that person ultimately did not choose to act.”
“Then, Old Zheng, have you researched anything? Or obtained any important information?”
Zheng Guoyi remained silent, then walked to a chair, sat down, and said, “This is what I wanted to tell you today.”
As he spoke, he raised the Blood Vial in his hand and said, “This item is actually more appropriately called a Sin Blood Potion.”
“Sin Blood?”
“Mm. Sin Blood is extracted from Fallen Vampire Clan members. Their blood possesses a certain curse. This is information I obtained from the inheritance of an Earl’s bloodline.”
“And this blood seems to have been modified by the Vampire Clan. The Blood Vial in my hand is only the lowest concentration, suitable for ordinary people to drink. After drinking it, the evil in people’s hearts will be stirred up.”
“Those who drink this type of potion are generally divided into three categories.”
“The first category, those with shallower inner evil and weaker physiques, become ordinary Blood Slaves. Their strength mostly depends on the Sin Blood’s augmentation of their physical bodies; they cannot mobilize the power of Sin Blood.”
“The second category, like the ones you brought, these individuals have extremely deep inner evil but insufficient physique. Even if they obtain the power of Sin Blood, they become monsters who lose their minds. However, based on the specific situation, the Vampire Clan has likely made many improvements and research on these monsters. I even suspect… there was help from our Human Race’s research institutes.”
Upon hearing ‘help from Human Race’s research institutes,’ Li Yunbin’s emotions did not become overly agitated.
Zheng Guoyi also looked at Li Yunbin calmly and said, “It seems you’ve also noticed.”
“Mm. I’ve heard some news from within the clan. Director Yang has also mentioned a few things to me. However, this matter might be too deeply involved, and my strength is not enough to access it, so I don’t know much.”
“Then I’ll talk about the third category. This third category is the most troublesome. They may have already mastered the power of Sin Blood and possess the strength of the Sin Blood’s owner. Keep in mind, those who can be called Fallen Vampire Clan members are all powerful. And this third category of monsters, having obtained the power of Sin Blood, are equivalent to half an Ancient God Awakened One, possessing strong growth potential.”
Li Yunbin slowly processed the information after hearing this.
Director Yang had actually told him that the Vampire Baron case he was investigating was deeply involved!
He only needed to follow the path and investigate, not necessarily achieve significant results.
But at least on the surface, it could confuse the Vampire Clan who thought they were not touching the deep secrets.
However, Bai Yu’s arrival gave him a thought, a glimmer of ambition, which was… to thoroughly investigate this case!!!
Taking a deep breath, Li Yunbin’s mood was also heavy. He then asked, “Old Zheng, do you have more information?”
Zheng Guoyi tapped his fingers on the table, not answering for a moment.
After about half a minute, he finally spoke, “I do. But I must say, your strength is indeed insufficient to be involved in this case. Sometimes, for people to live better, the less they know, the better.”
“But I want to know!”
He met Li Yunbin’s gaze, which lasted for about half a minute.
“Sigh~ Alright…”
Zheng Guoyi sighed, then discussed his understanding of the current enemies.
“Firstly, the one responsible for distributing the Sin Blood Potion is not a Vampire Baron, but should be a Night Demon within the Vampire Clan.”
“As for the Vampire Baron you are pursuing, he should be brewing a grand conspiracy. What it is, is unknown.”
Afterward, Zheng Guoyi talked about several key enemies he knew of, at least so that Li Yunbin wouldn’t be completely lost.
After speaking, Zheng Guoyi opened a hidden compartment and took out a special deep black Blood Vial.
“This contains Sin Blood.”
“It’s purified, complete Sin Blood extracted from Blood Slaves and other monsters I’ve killed in the past few months.”
“This is an excellent research sample. Take it back to the Li Family and have Professor Li Maoshan study it to see if a countermeasure can be developed. If successful, we can obtain more information.”
Li Yunbin naturally agreed without hesitation.
“As for whether to tell your teammates, that’s up to you.”
“I understand! Thank you, Old Zheng!”
The data I saw from the backend two days ago was over 1800 fake follows, which is already quite impressive for the same period. I’ve killed eight veteran authors at LV5. It’s just that the proportion of real follows is a bit low, around 2/3, and I’m about four to five hundred real follows short of Sanjiang （. Currently, I get a thousand collections daily, and the readership is still growing, so there’s a chance ）. Real followers don’t have very high requirements; paying one yuan within a month or two and subscribing to one chapter counts. I hope you brothers can top up one yuan to help with a real follow.
The most important thing is the readership on Monday and Tuesday next week. Some authors write “please follow” in their chapter titles from the very first chapter. I think writing it continuously like that has no impact; only asking for readership once during the critical period is effective.
I will mark the chapters for next Monday with “please follow.” I also ask readers who have been nurturing the book to binge-read it then! I’ve truly never been on Sanjiang and want to see the scenery. Those authors who get on Sanjiang and then switch books make me so envious （ I could gnash my teeth with hate ）, completely wasting a spot. (_)
As for performance and shelving, I’ve discussed it with the editor. I’m taking a steady development route; I haven’t deliberately arranged particularly climactic plot points early on to consume the book’s lifespan and thus cannot generate excessively high readership growth. If I don’t get on Sanjiang, I’ll be shelved next Friday and aim for a daily update of ten thousand words to change my fate. I’ll also see if I can get a strong recommendation. Of course, not getting on Sanjiang won’t mean this book is a flop for me. For a tentacle monster like me, intelligent recommendations are very effective. My previous book had a thousand first orders and reached 2500 average monthly sales （ that book was a “China sentiment” flow, which burned out quickly. This book is different ）.
