Not only did Tai Shu Yi rise, but Tai Shu Reincarnation also stood up, glaring at Zuo Dao.
The Blood Forbidden Vein, as its name suggests, is a taboo existence. Each Blood Forbidden Vein, once unsealed, either belongs to an unparalleled powerhouse or a formidable demon.
Tai Shu Yun possessed a Blood Forbidden Vein, a secret known only to the two of them. After all, this matter was too significant; one misstep could lead to fatal consequences.
Zuo Dao didn't feel much about it; after all, it was just the Supreme Dao Lotus and Bloodline. If it were unsealed, Tai Shu Yun would instantly become someone coveted by any force.
"Uh, there's no need for that. I just want to help Miss Yun unseal her Bloodline; it's part of this transaction's bonus," Zuo Dao explained.
However, an explanation was necessary; otherwise, if they started fighting, Zuo Dao wouldn't mind, but he feared for Spirit Sword Mountain's safety. He had already criticized the Spirit Sword Grass within the Spirit Sword Cave.
"What? You can unseal Yun'er’s Bloodline?" Tai Shu Reincarnation immediately retracted his imposing aura upon hearing this. Although Tai Shu Yi also withdrew his killing intent, his Spiritual Awareness remained firmly locked onto Zuo Dao.
"I have a good rapport with Miss Yun. If I truly meant her harm, you wouldn't be seeing her right now," Zuo Dao said with a hint of sarcasm. This was the third or fourth time he had been targeted with killing intent since arriving at Spirit Sword Mountain.
At this moment, Tai Shu Yun reacted quickly and stepped forward to support him.
"Yes, if Young Master Zuo truly had ill intentions towards me, I would have long been unable to meet you."
Tai Shu Reincarnation and Tai Shu Yi calmed down as well. Indeed, if the other party harbored malicious intent towards Spirit Sword Mountain, given his cultivation level, Spirit Sword Mountain wouldn't be able to stop him, let alone Tai Shu Yun.
The atmosphere among them eased slightly.
"Everyone should sit down and calculate things properly. I believe this will only benefit Spirit Sword Mountain and not harm it. By the way, you may not know what kind of blood taboo Miss Yun possesses," Zuo Dao felt it was difficult being the good guy; helping someone still led to suspicion.
"Yes, while we know that Yun'er possesses a blood taboo, we cannot ascertain what kind it is, so we dare not easily help her unseal it," Tai Shu Yi replied after a moment of thought.
"You should be thankful you didn't help her unseal it; otherwise, Spirit Sword Mountain would have turned to ashes by now."
"What!" Tai Shu and the other two were immediately startled. "Could it be that Yun'er possesses a forbidden magic?"
Zuo Dao, who was just sipping Spiritual Tea, nearly spat it out upon hearing their reaction.
"Why don't you think of it in a positive light? Alright, let me tell you directly: she possesses the Lotus Fire blood prohibition, also known as the Supreme Dao Lotus forbidden blood." Zuo Dao once again took on the role of an explainer, seriously clarifying things for the three of them.
This explanation left Tai Shu and the others overjoyed. They hadn't expected Tai Shu Yun's blood prohibition to be so powerful. Could it be that she would excel in the Alchemical Path? This was undoubtedly great news for Spirit Sword Mountain!
After the excitement came calmness. Tai Shu Yun was indifferent about what kind of blood prohibition she possessed; instead, she grew increasingly curious about Zuo Dao, as if there was nothing he couldn't do.
Tai Shu Yi immediately summoned a team of sword guards in his capacity as Sword Master to ensure Tai Shu Yun's safety. At the same time, he sent out messages throughout the Great Star Domain to begin a large-scale acquisition of medicinal plants.
Not only for the materials needed for the unsealing, but Tai Shu Yi also wanted to use a massive amount of medicinal plants to enhance her Alchemical Path Realm. If they waited until after Tai Shu Yun's unsealing to acquire them, it would definitely be much harder once others caught wind of it.
Indeed, everyone here was quite cunning! It seemed he still had much to learn.
After this incident, Zuo Dao's status in Tai Shu Reincarnation and Tai Shu Yi's hearts changed significantly. Tai Shu Reincarnation began to see him more favorably, akin to how one grows fonder of a son-in-law over time.
In his mind, Tai Shu Yun was a woman beloved by all, and Zuo Dao had no reason to give up on such a woman with status, beauty, and talent.
Thus, after spending over a month at Spirit Sword Mountain and collecting all the materials, Zuo Dao borrowed the Dan Room in the mountain to start refining Life Essence Herb and Sword Spirit Pill. Of course, the top priority was still the Blood Transformation Pill.
Spirit Sword Mountain had invested heavily; they had gathered an astonishing amount of materials for the Blood Transformation Pill. This left Zuo Dao feeling somewhat amused. No wonder no one would believe his success rate could reach one hundred percent.
Tai Shu Yun observed from the sidelines. This time, Zuo Dao did not use the method of imparting knowledge through enlightenment but chose not to share some Alchemical Path knowledge with her. After all, once her Bloodline was unsealed, what she gained would far exceed what he could teach her—it would be a memory that penetrated deep into her bones.
However, Zuo Dao did share information about Life Essence Herb and Sword Spirit Pill with Tai Shu Yun since those were beneficial. With Zuo Dao demonstrating on-site, Tai Shu Yun quickly grasped the refining methods; however, her success rate left much to be desired. For a while, every time she saw Zuo Dao, she would call him "Monster" incessantly.
After all, Zuo Dao had never failed since his first attempt at refining pills. In Tai Shu Yun's experience, even Leng Yi—the renowned master in the Great Star Domain—did not have a higher success rate than Zuo Dao.
During the refining of the Blood Transformation Pill, Zuo Dao showcased his dual cultivation prowess as a Dan Device. The Four Seasons Furnace was once again born in his hands, but this time he generously gifted it to Tai Shu Yun, only borrowing it briefly for the refinement of the Blood Transformation Pill. This made Tai Shu Yun so delighted that she found it hard to concentrate on her cultivation. For an Alchemist, nothing could bring more joy than acquiring a top-tier Dan Furnace.
The process of refining the Blood Transformation Pill went smoothly; however, Tai Shu Yun encountered a slight issue—she could not enter a meditative state. This left Zuo Dao perplexed. It seemed that the previous stimulation he had given her was too intense, causing cracks in her Dao heart. With no other options, Zuo Dao had to resort to the Great Dream Hammer Sound, a powerful tool, to allow the unsealing to continue.
During the unsealing process, Zuo Dao, having gained experience from before, decided to test himself by hammering his body again in the Thunder Sea. However, this time the results were minimal. He realized that he would need a higher level of thunder to make further advancements.
Moreover, because Zuo Dao had set up a more powerful formation around the mountaintop during the unsealing, he did not attract any outsiders' attention. Nevertheless, it still caused a stir at Spirit Sword Mountain. Tai Shu Yi had to explain that the phenomenon was due to a breakthrough by the Grand Elder, which alleviated everyone's suspicions.
Even so, it was difficult to hide from keen observers. However, Tai Shu Yi firmly insisted that the unusual occurrence was due to Tai Shu Reincarnation's breakthrough. At the same time, Tai Shu Reincarnation revealed his Void Realm cultivation level, which helped quell the incident.
Of course, Tai Shu Reincarnation's advancement was also intentional on Zuo Dao's part; he did not want to face another situation where he was pressured by a group of cultivators—not out of fear but out of annoyance.
Just as Tai Shu Reincarnation and Tai Shu Yi were celebrating Tai Shu Yun's Bloodline unsealing, shocking news arrived. Not only in the Earth Altar Star System but throughout the entire Great Star Domain, there was a commotion.
The Supreme Academy had once again opened its Mansion Gate and was recruiting outstanding Cultivators from within the Star Domain.
As soon as this news broke, chaos ensued; the world began to stir. Countless young talents emerged like bamboo shoots after rain, and some hidden prodigies from prestigious families also came forth.
All of this was merely for a spot at the Supreme Academy.
