Starting with an orphanage, I mass-produced peerless empresses.

"Um?!"

Lin Yun was shocked and immediately asked, "Wasn't she said to be bait thrown out by the Xuanming Demon Emperor?"

In his mind, shouldn't such bait usually be fake?

Xingwu smiled and said, "It is indeed bait, but it is also indeed real."

"This little girl was found by that old woman in the mountains and is the carrier of the Immortal Emperor of Life and Death's natal immortal treasure."

"For example, the reason it came here on its own earlier was because the treasure suppressed its consciousness and attracted the life and death power left in the old city, so it went there on its own."

Lin Yun had never witnessed An Qiu'er's suppressed consciousness, but that wasn't the focus at the moment.

He raised an eyebrow and asked with considerable curiosity.

"What it is doesn't matter; the key question is, can she really resurrect the dead?"

Even now, he still has considerable doubts about this ability, after all, the effect is just too incredible!

The result was also unexpected.

Xingwu nodded and said slowly, "Of course, but you can only be resurrected once, and it will probably be a one-for-one exchange."

The beginning was fine, but the following words made Lin Yun frown.

"One for one? What does that mean?"

Xingwu pondered for a moment before explaining.

"Actually, this is just a guess. According to that old woman, the girl was stillborn."

"It just so happened that after death, it merged with the immortal treasure of the Immortal Emperor of Life and Death, who was wandering between heaven and earth."

"Afterwards, she used this magical treasure as the source of her life and was reborn after death, but in essence, her life was still given by this magical treasure."

"But if you want to revive someone, you need to extract the celestial treasure and reshape the physical body of the person to be revived. If she loses the celestial treasure, she will naturally not be able to live."

Simply put, An Qiu'er's life was given to her by a magical treasure, and to revive someone, one must take away that magical treasure...

Of course, the price was An Qiu'er's death.

This is exactly what Xingwu meant earlier with her "one for one" exchange; she was right.

Lin Yun frowned. He was surprised by the result, but not entirely unexpected.

The idea that the dead can be resurrected is simply absurd...

After thinking for a moment, Lin Yun couldn't help but ask a question.

"Speaking of which, is there no limit to the scope of this resurrection?"

However, even though it can only be done once and she has to pay with her life, it would be incredibly powerful if there were no restrictions.

Unfortunately, Xingwu immediately nodded.

"Of course there are limitations; the person being resurrected should ideally have died recently."

"Because we need to revive the other person's soul before it enters the cycle of reincarnation, otherwise once it enters the cycle, that person will be completely gone."

Lin Yun asked thoughtfully, "Oh? Then how can we determine whether the other party has entered reincarnation?"

Then, Xingwu shrugged and said.

"It's impossible to judge, it all depends on luck, which is why it's said that the best time to resurrect someone is shortly after they die."

After all, it's impossible for someone to be reincarnated immediately after death.

Lin Yun was both amused and exasperated, and said helplessly.

"According to you, this thing is actually a bit of a double-edged sword."

With all those restrictions in place, it's like having nothing to eat but also something you can't bear to throw away...

Xingwu remained calm and chuckled lightly.

"That's natural. If there were no restrictions, why would it be used as bait?"

"That makes sense..."

Lin Yun nodded and couldn't help but sigh softly.

At this moment, Xia Yulan, who had been listening quietly to the side, couldn't help but ask.

"Should we tell everyone the truth? Especially Qiu'er, should we let her know?"

Upon hearing this, Lin Yun fell silent for a moment.

"Well... I'll think about it."

Undoubtedly, this result will be a significant blow to Xiaoxue and her friends.

Everyone has tried their best during this time, but this is the result we got. I don't know if they can accept it...

Lin Yun was very conflicted, so he simply changed the subject and looked at Xingwu.

"By the way, I do really want to overthrow the Heavenly Dao Immortal Palace now."

Previously, his thoughts weren't that strong, but now, with the Heavenly Dao Immortal Palace pressing him step by step, he's really getting angry!

Xingwu wasn't surprised and nodded with a smile.

"If it's you, you can do it someday if you want to."

"Oh? You have that much confidence in me?"

"Of course, isn't that normal?"

Xingwu smiled and said, "But before that, you still need to become stronger. As for me, this is all the meager help I can offer you."

"A little bit of help? This time, you've helped a lot."

Lin Yun was both amused and exasperated, but when it came to repaying the other party, it seemed there was nothing he could do.

"It's alright, this time..."

Xingwu smiled faintly, about to say something, when her face suddenly turned pale and her brows furrowed slightly.

Upon seeing this, Lin Yun couldn't help but ask.

"what happened to you?"

Xingwu didn't speak, but waved her hand, then coughed a few times, spitting out traces of blood.

Then he stretched out his finger and tapped it several times in front of him.

After more than ten seconds, she took a deep breath, seemed to have calmed down, and smiled as she spoke.

"Okay, it's okay."

Lin Yun frowned and asked, "Are you injured? Do you need me to treat you?"

Upon hearing this, Xingwu seemed to have thought of something and teased him.

"Dean Lin, do you want treatment, or do you just want to check on this person's health?"

Clearly, she still remembered how Lin Yun treated her.

"How could that be? I'm serious."

Lin Yun rolled her eyes at her, wondering if she thought he was that lecherous.

Xingwu smiled and shook her head.

"Don't worry, I'm not injured. I'm just overexerted and need to replenish my energy."

"Replenish your qi and blood? By consuming rare and precious herbs?"

"No, there is a simpler way."

Xingwu licked her lips slightly and said with a smile.

"You can just suck blood directly."

One way to restore them is to drain the life force of those two Celestial Kings.

However, since the two people's bloodlines weren't particularly strong, the effect was only so-so.

Lin Haiyun was taken aback.

"Vampire? So bloody? Is it because of the Blood Fiend Demon Emperor's inheritance?"

"That's it."

Xingwu nodded slightly and said with a faint smile.

"It's similar to the effect of dual cultivation between you and Lu Xian'er."

"I see……"

Just as Lin Yun was pondering for a moment, he looked up and saw Xingwu staring intently at him with a red light in her eyes.

Immediately, Lin Yun's lips twitched slightly, and he asked in an annoyed tone.

"Don't tell me you want to suck my blood."

Xingwu shook her head, seemingly feeling unwell, and rubbed her forehead.

"I just feel that Dean Lin's blood must taste delicious."

This is one of the few problems she has after fully inheriting the Blood Demon Emperor's legacy: an abnormal craving for blood.

Although she used to absorb blood essence, she mainly extracted it directly. But now she has gradually come to like the taste of fresh blood.

Especially when they are weak, they are like a hungry beast that sees flesh and blood, almost instinctively wanting to devour it!

"I said……"

Seeing her slightly pained expression, Lin Yun raised an eyebrow and asked.

"If I let you drink my blood, you won't turn me into one of those two guys, will you?"

Xingwu paused for a moment, then looked over in surprise.

"Of course not, but are you sure?"

"In the end, you did this to help me, so consider it a way of repaying you."

Lin Yun shrugged; he didn't care about losing some blood.

"Well then, I won't stand on ceremony."

Xingwu, who had been restraining herself, reached the peak of her desire after he agreed, and her eyes revealed a red light that resembled that of a wild beast.

However, she hadn't completely lost her mind and still remembered to remind Lin Yun.

"By the way, you should tone down your defense, otherwise it will be difficult to bleed."

After all, they had recently witnessed that even attacks from Immortal Kings couldn't break through his physical defenses.

If Lin Yun hadn't restrained himself, he probably wouldn't have even been able to break his skin.

Upon hearing this, Lin Yun nodded and secretly gave the system a command.

"Temporarily closed, invincible golden body."

[Your account has been temporarily shut down. It will automatically reopen if you encounter any life-threatening situation!]

Although there is a system protecting him, Xingwu is the first person to allow him to open his defenses like this, which is a symbol of Lin Yun's trust in him.

"Alright, so where do you suck blood from? Your hands? Or..."

Lin Yun couldn't help but think of vampires from certain fantasy works.

As he wondered what was happening, Xingwu stepped forward, wrapped her arms around his body, and bit down on his neck with her small mouth.

There was no pain as expected. Lin Yun, who was bitten by Xingwu, only felt a tingling and numb sensation at the wound, and even a strange sense of comfort...

Looking at Xingwu in front of him again, she was like a wild beast that had captured its prey, holding him tightly and greedily sucking his blood.

"Um……"

Xingwu had only absorbed a small amount when she instantly sensed the immense power contained within Lin Yun's blood.

It was like a person on the verge of starvation suddenly seeing a Manchu Han Imperial Feast, feeling extremely happy in body and mind, and the emptiness in their body was quickly filled.

Perhaps because she was too satisfied with what she had eaten, she gripped Lin Yun's waist tightly with both hands, as if afraid he would run away.

"Hmm~"

She let out a soft panting sound, and her delicate body trembled slightly, which made Lin Yun feel a little numb.

"No, if you're going to suck blood, then stop making weird noises, okay?"

You'd think the other person was about to leave.

The key was that being held by her like this, smelling her fragrance and feeling her softness against his skin, made his heart flutter with confusion.

It feels like it might stand up if you're not careful...

Perhaps the scene was too beautiful, because Xia Yulan next to her couldn't help but turn her head away, and couldn't help but mutter to herself.

"These two, they're sucking blood, and it looks like they're having sex..."

After a full half minute, Lin Yun felt as if all the blood in his body had been replaced.

After all, he has already reached the realm of immortals. Simply absorbing blood is not dangerous at all; at most, he will be slightly weakened.

After she finished, Xingwu released his neck and breathed a long sigh of relief.

Lin Yun slit his throat and looked at her, asking a question.

"How is it? Are you satisfied now?"

"Hmm... I feel completely filled with Dean Lin's power."

"I said, let's not use that kind of way of saying things that's easy to misunderstand, shall we?"

Lin Yun shook his head, thinking that he had filled her up with something.

Xingwu smiled sweetly, looking at him with deep emotion.

"Speaking of which, just as I thought, Dean Lin's blood is indeed both delicious and effective!"

After this blood-drinking session, not only did I feel the blood energy I had previously depleted replenished, but my cultivation level even improved slightly. The effect was simply amazing!
