At eight o'clock in the evening, the outside world began to darken, and a bright full moon hung in the sky. Tonight was not only the night of the full moon but also the day of Zhu Caini's bloodline awakening.
He Ying's shop had closed its doors early, and the seven of us were already inside making final preparations.
He Ying and Liu Zhenxian stood guard at the entrance, responsible for preventing any Ghostly Beings from barging in and causing trouble. In truth, He Ying was just there to watch the excitement; it was Liu Zhenxian who would do the real fighting.
He Ying scanned the shop with a gloomy expression and discovered that all the original shelves were gone. The entire store felt empty, with only a massive red talisman inscribed on the floor. A flash of Cold Killing Intent crossed He Ying's eyes as she pointed at me and shouted, "Jiang Ling, are you looking for death? You didn't consult me before turning my shop into this mess. Are you tired of living?"
He Ying then wrapped her arms around Liu Zhenxian's, pouting as she said, "Liu Zhenxian, this Jiang Ling is driving me crazy! Those things were left by my mother, and now they're just gone. Hurry up and help me catch Jiang Ling; we should hang him up and give him a beating first."
Liu Zhenxian exchanged an awkward glance with me, pretending he hadn't heard He Ying's words as he stood still.
At that moment, Hu Yalong and Wu Jie hurried over to He Ying's side. They grabbed her as she was about to explode, forcing smiles on their faces as they nervously said, "Uh, manager, we didn’t throw anything away from the shop; we just moved it temporarily. We’ll bring everything back by tomorrow morning and make sure it looks exactly the same as before."
Hearing that everything was still there eased He Ying's expression slightly. However, she was still somewhat displeased and kicked Hu Yalong in frustration.
Watching He Ying's unreasonable antics made me shake my head in exasperation; I suddenly regretted bringing her along.
"Master Jiang Ling, when are we going to start casting spells? My sister seems to be in a bit of trouble," Zhu Dongdong said anxiously. I noticed Zhu Caini sitting in the center of the talisman array inside the shop, her eyes tightly shut with a pained expression on her face. Cold sweat covered her forehead, indicating something was wrong.
The talisman array I had set up in the shop was the famous Demon Sealing Array from the Daoist Sect. To ensure it worked at its strongest capacity, I had asked Hu Yalong and Wu Jie to collect one thousand Rooster Comb Blood from black-feathered roosters, along with Tongue Blood from five hundred young boys and five hundred young girls.
The blood of young boys contained pure Yang Qi, while that of young girls held pure Eerie Energy. The Rooster Comb Blood from black-feathered roosters contained both Yin and Yang elements, making it effective for creating talisman arrays.
The three types of blood mixed with vermilion, combined with my Master's Blood, can create a powerful Yin-Yang Dao Mud, enhancing the Demon Sealing Array on the ground by more than ten times, enough to seal a thousand-year-old Cultivation fairy.
I activated my Yin-Yang Eyes and looked at Zhu Caini, discovering that all the demonic energy within her was being suppressed by the Demon Sealing Array, swirling chaotically inside her body. My brow furrowed slightly as I spoke, "Zhu Dongdong, don't worry. Your sister's current condition is a normal reaction. I will help awaken her bloodline now. Stand by; I may need your assistance later."
I approached Zhu Caini and sat cross-legged in front of her, channeling my Daoist Magic into the Demon Sealing Array on the ground. At the same time, I quickly formed a spell with my hands and recited, "Spirit of the beast born, good and evil hard to discern. In the path of Dao, seal the spirit. Good beasts are harmless; evil spirits shall be sealed. Ultimate Earth, Xuanmen Daoist Arts. Demon Sealing Array, activate!"
As my words fell, the array on the shop floor emitted strands of White Dao Light that bound around Zhu Caini, completely sealing her body.
"Ah! It hurts so much! Jiang Ling, please help me!" Zhu Caini cried out in agony as the demonic energy within her became increasingly agitated after being stimulated by the Demon Sealing Array, gradually starting to erode her internal organs.
With my Yin-Yang Eyes focused on Zhu Caini, I noticed that even under the suppression of the Demon Sealing Array, her demonic energy remained pure. This clearly indicated that Zhu Caini had never engaged in harmful deeds; she belonged to a kind-hearted beast type, albeit with a slightly fiery temper at times.
"Zhu Caini, hold on. It will be over in twenty minutes at most." Seeing that Zhu Caini was struggling to endure, I quickly pressed my right index finger against her forehead and infused my Buddhist Power into her body, guiding her demonic energy to merge within her and awaken her bloodline.
Buddhist Power is gentler than Daoist Magic and would not overly stimulate Zhu Caini's demonic energy. After I infused it into her body, the chaotic energy gradually calmed down and began to merge little by little under my guidance.
"Mm-hmm~~" Zhu Caini instinctively let out a moan as the painful expression on her face faded away, replaced by one of enjoyment.
Hearing Zhu Caini's delicate voice stirred some distracting thoughts in my mind. I swallowed hard and silently recited the Calm Heart Mantra from the Daoist Sect several times to dispel those thoughts.
After about ten minutes, three-quarters of the demonic energy within Zhu Caini had merged. No matter how I guided it, there remained a portion that refused to integrate.
Furrowing my brow, I turned to Zhu Dongdong and said, "Zhu Dongdong, your sister's demonic energy is saturated; there's still a portion left unmerged. I plan to draw this remaining energy out and transfer it to you. This will not only enhance your Cultivation but also ensure that once all this demonic energy is expelled completely, your sister's bloodline will awaken."
The demonic energy within Zhu Caini belonged to her father's lineage. If Zhu Caini awakened her bloodline power, she could completely devour this demonic energy and transform it into her own cultivation. However, she was currently awakening her Wolf Demon bloodline, and she needed to expel all the demonic energy from her body to give birth to her own unique demonic energy.
"Master Jiang Ling, I appreciate your help," Zhu Dongdong said, fully aware of the significance of the bloodline awakening. He smiled and quickly settled down beside me, crossing his legs and tightly closing his eyes.
At that moment, I removed my right hand from Zhu Caini's forehead and swiftly cast several spells with both hands. Then, I reached out and slapped her Spirit Cover, forcing all the excess demonic energy out of her body.
"Howl~~" Zhu Dongdong sensed the demonic energy nearby and let out a loud wolf howl. Without needing any prompting from me, he opened his mouth and began to slowly absorb the swirling mass of demonic energy.
Liu Zhenxian watched the mass of demonic energy with a glint of greed in his eyes, but it quickly vanished. He shifted his body and walked toward the shop's entrance, not looking back as he said, "Hu Yalong, Wu Jie, take He Ying further inside. It's my turn to take action now."
