26 Clouds and Thunderbolts? III

Bei Ling, who was feeling which spot was better to lay the formation, answered as she did a motion with her hand, "Sure. It is crystallized in a way to be used in the usual blood baptism so nothing will happen even if you examine it."

The lid of the transparent jade bottle shone and a seal-like thing broke.

Bei Ling went back to what she was doing and Xia Feng Zi put on her black necklace her smoking pipe before opening the lid.

She took the transparent jade bottle with her right hand and turned it upside down. The small bloody crystal fell onto her left palm.

It was cold as ice and glittered like a precious gem.

'Beautiful,' she thought; she liked pretty things, though she didn't have a strong sense of owning such things. If she could have them, she could, if she couldn't, she couldn't.

"Umh?" As she was about to try inspecting it, the bloody crystal turned warm. She stopped her soul strength from nearing the bloody crystal.

The warmness increased and it suddenly melted.

"Amhh… this… Master?" She tried to put back the melted bloody crystal into the transparent jade bottle; however, it didn't go away from her palm and before doing anything reckless that might damage the blood, she called her master.

"….." Bei Ling had just found the correct place when she heard Xia Feng Zi call, she turned around and saw that the drop of blood wasn't crystalized anymore but was in its liquid form.

She flew towards Xia Feng Zi and took her hand in her palm.

Her red eyes were fixed on Xia Feng Zi's palm, 'The blood is being absorbed…?' She raised her sight and saw Xia Feng Zi's confused and pondering dark eyes.

'… This looks like the usual blood baptism I read on the books but how?' Xia Feng Zi furrowed her brows as she thought slowly; her master was right before her and she didn't say nor did anything so it mustn't be that dangerous.
