Chapter 679: Familiar Person

The cold wind howled late at night. In his swaddling clothes, Shen Ping’s eyes were abnormally bright. He looked at the house that was so simple that there was only a wooden table, wooden chair, and wooden bed. There were not even a few pieces of decent furniture. His eyes were a little dull. It was fine if he had reincarnated as a baby, but he had actually been born into such a poor family. He had originally thought that he was a person with great luck, but now it seemed that it was completely a fantasy.

Of course, he did not care about his ident.i.ty, but the most important thing was that he might not be able to grow up safely in such an environment. If he died in the middle of the journey, his trip would have been in vain.

“What kind of world is this? I can’t even sense the slightest spiritual energy. Could it be because of the reincarnation of a true spirit or because this body is too weak?”

On this day, Shen Ping tried more than ten sensing cultivation techniques, which included some special ones. He had even used the strange beast cultivation technique, but it was difficult for him to sense the energy between heaven and earth. Moreover, as long as he thought too much, his baby body would not be able to withstand it and would soon fall asleep.

He opened the virtual interface. The various virtual frames displayed on it gave him some comfort. He could not use his cultivation techniques and various divine powers. It was the same for his strange beast talent, but the Purple Eye Divine Pupil born from the golden finger could be used. “I can only slowly take the time to grow!” He shook his head helplessly, and sleepiness quickly swept over him.

The next day, the sky was slightly bright. In this reincarnation, his father carried a hoe and went to work in the fields. His mother carried him to the river not far away to wash his clothes.

Shen Ping also sized up his surroundings. This was a village similar to ancient times. Even though living beings were the same as humans, the difference was that there was a different mark between their brows. There was also a mark on his forehead, but he didn’t know what use this mark had.

“Aunt w.a.n.g, I heard that your child has already awakened his bloodline?”

Early in the morning, many farm women were by the river. Some were was.h.i.+ng clothes, some were was.h.i.+ng farming tools, and so on. When there were many people, they started to chat about all kinds of things in the village.

Aunt w.a.n.g beamed with joy and said, “That’s right. The child’s father obtained a Whitehead Fruit in the forest, so he was lucky enough to awaken it. Unfortunately, it’s not a bloodline that increases strength.”

“Whitehead Fruit, your luck is really good.”

“That’s right. This kind of fruit can only be found in the depths of the forest. It rarely appears in the periphery, and there are many dirty things in the depths of the forest. No one dares to enter.”

Although Shen Ping did not have any Spell Thaumaturgy, he still had the will of his true spirit. Even though he was extremely sleepy, he could still endure it. When he heard about the mark, he could not help but p.r.i.c.k up his ears. It turned out that the mark needed some kind of opportunity to awaken. Some awakened on their own, while others relied on external objects to awaken. For example, the White Head Fruit in the forest.

Once awakened, it could increase one’s physical fitness, increase one’s strength, or increase one’s agility. Some were even stronger, and their bloodline could contain a divine power similar to a cultivator’s spell.

This made his heart skip a beat. Could this bloodline be the bloodline of a strange beast? After all, the palace world was in the Realm Sea Peak, and the Realm Sea Peak was the source of the ten strange beasts. The living beings born here were most likely the bloodline of a strange beast.

If it really was, he would be able to quickly grasp the advantage as long as he awakened.

While they were eating lunch, his mother brought up the matter of the White Head Fruit and asked the head of the family to wander outside the forest after he finished his farm work. Perhaps he would encounter it. However, she still repeatedly reminded him not to go deep into the forest. Although it was for the sake of the child, if he lost his life, the entire family would collapse.

His father nodded repeatedly.

Five years pa.s.sed in the blink of an eye. Ever since Shen Ping could walk and run, he had been training every day. Even if he could not sense any energy or spiritual energy here, there were many ways to strengthen his body in his memory. Therefore, when he was five years old, his physical strength and reaction speed exceeded that of an adult.

On this day, the sun was s.h.i.+ning brightly, the air in the field was scorching hot. Shen Ping stood under a tree and basked in the shade. In his boredom, he picked up a stone and exerted strength with his wrist. The stone pierced through the tree branch like a hidden weapon. This technique and strength could not even be compared to those who had just awakened their bloodline power. “It’s been a long time since I felt weak.”

He looked at the distant forest. There should be the extraordinary energy of this world hidden there. There might even be the opportunity mentioned by the artifact spirit senior. However, he had not been there for the past five years. Only his father would occasionally wander around the edge of the forest. Unfortunately, he did not find a single White Head Fruit.

“After another five years of training, my body should be able to reach the limit of what a mortal body can withstand. When the time comes, I’ll go to the forest to investigate!”

Since he could not sense the energy of heaven and earth, he naturally could not absorb and refine it. Even when he was tempering his body, he could only use special techniques to allow his body to absorb the nutrients in the food and continuously improve. Furthermore, he had grasped special force execution techniques to increase his explosive power.

Therefore, Shen Ping did not think that he could rashly go to the forest with just a little body tempering.

After finis.h.i.+ng his work, he returned home. The courtyard had been renovated last year. It looked much better than the old mud walls. In the past few years, with the hard work of his parents, the family’s life had improved a little. At the very least, there were a few simple wooden furniture in the house.

“Honey, the child will be six years old in two months. If he hasn’t awakened yet, we have to think of ways to buy some external items. If he hasn’t awakened by the age of ten, the child will be like us for the rest of his life.” His mother said as she ate.

His father was taciturn, but this time, he spoke. “I’ve spoken to his third uncle. In a few days, we’ll go to the forest together and try our luck. If we can’t find the White Head Fruit, we can hunt some meat.”

His mother didn’t say anything, but her eyes were filled with worry.

At night, the stars were dazzling, and the starlight shone through the wooden window. Shen Ping closed his eyes, but the mark on his forehead suddenly became hot under the starlight. If it were an ordinary child, they would have cried out in pain. However, he opened his eyes and did not make a sound. After all, with his willpower, he would not even frown even if his limbs were broken. “Could it be that I’m about to awaken?” He looked up at the starlight. His eyes flickered with antic.i.p.ation as he carefully sensed his body.

As the mark became hotter and hotter, the skin on his body became hot and red. It lasted for five minutes, and the mark on his forehead seemed to have completely opened. It was like a black hole swallowing the resplendent starlight. Shen Ping felt waves of coolness continuously surging into his body. The blood in his meridians greedily absorbed this coolness.

Apart from that, a large amount of information hidden in his blood was released.

An hour later, Shen Ping opened his palm, and purple lightning surrounded his fingertips. “Is this the awakening of the bloodline? Not only does it suddenly possess extraordinary power, but it can also absorb hidden ancient information from the bloodline.”

The information hidden in his body was the Thunder Technique. It was like the Palm Thunder. By concentrating the bloodline energy in his palm, he could unleash a lightning strike.

However, there was no excitement on Shen Ping’s face. The power of this bloodline spell was not worth mentioning compared to his strength before his reincarnation. More importantly, the awakened bloodline was not the bloodline of a strange beast.

This puzzled him. If it wasn’t the bloodline of a strange beast, why would it appear in the palace world? After thinking for a long time, he still couldn’t figure it out. In the end, he simply stopped thinking about these questions. Now that he had extraordinary power, all that was left was to find the opportunities contained in this world.

On the second day, when his parents found out about his awakening, especially when they saw the purple mark, they were extremely excited. This was much higher than strengthening his strength and agility. This matter quickly caused a stir in the entire village. Even the town specially sent people over.

“It’s indeed the power of lightning.”

“In the entire town, not a single lightning bloodline pract.i.tioner can be born in a hundred years.”

“We have to report this to the county. We can’t nurture such a bloodline awakener.”

Hence, not long after, Shen Ping was sent to the county. His parents also benefited from it and moved their entire family to the county to live. They were even a.s.signed a house by the county officials.

This matter caused many people in the village to be envious and jealous. Everyone wanted to have children even more so that they could be like Shen Ping’s family in the future, going from a farmer to a county citizen.

“The Xia Dynasty is vast and has an uncountable population. In such a vast area, other than bloodline awakeners, there are also many evil demons. They wreak havoc and harm the people. The purpose of the dynasty’s Demon Suppression Division is to suppress and eliminate these evil spirits.”

County town, Demon Suppression Division.

Children who were also awakened like Shen Ping sat together and listened to the teachings of the elders in the academy. On the surface, Shen Ping was listening, but in fact, his mind had long been wandering. Just by listening to a few words from this Demon Suppression Division instructor, he roughly understood the foundation of this world.

Bloodline pract.i.tioners and evil spirits coexisted. They had fought each other for thousands of years and had continued until now. Among the bloodline pract.i.tioners, there were many factions. Among them, the dynasty was the main one, and the other large and small factions were complementary, forming the transcendence of this world.

If they really wanted to destroy the evil spirits and demons, they could do so with the power of the dynasty. However, it wasn’t that easy to be eliminated. Every time the dynasty was in its final years and the various places were in chaos, these evil spirits and demons would appear and reproduce faster and stronger.

When the dynasty was strong, the evil spirits and demons were completely suppressed. This cycle repeated and jumped back and forth.

Anyway, it was a dead knot.

The reason why evil spirits and demons were born was just like those with bloodlines. All living beings could awaken their bloodlines, especially wild animals. Sometimes, it was even easier. Therefore, in Shen Ping’s opinion, if they wanted to eradicate it, they had to find the source of the bloodline awakening.

His thoughts drifted here. Shen Ping’s heart skipped a beat. Could it be that the source of the bloodline was the greatest opportunity in this world?

The cla.s.s ended. The other children began to play. He went to the library. The guard glanced at Shen Ping casually and dozed off again. After Shen Ping entered, he flipped through an ancient book. When he opened it, the corners of his mouth twitched. Fine, he couldn’t read and couldn’t understand at all.

Fortunately, other than teaching the use of the bloodline and the types of evil spirits and demons, there were also teachers who taught the awakeners to read and write. Therefore, Shen Ping could only obediently study in the school.

However, he was different from those children who had just awakened. He quickly mastered the basic words of this world.

A year pa.s.sed.

Shen Ping closed the last book. In the past year, he had read all the books in the pavilion, be it gossip or bloodline spells. Unfortunately, he did not find any clues related to the source of the bloodline.

He was not disappointed. Li County was only a place under the prefecture. Even the Demon Suppression Division could not record such things.

After leaving the library, he walked to the corridor in front of the residence and saw many children gathered together. It turned out that another Bloodline

Awakener had been sent here. He shook his head and was about to leave when he heard a soft and gentle voice. “My name is Lian Nishang. I’m new here..”
