Chapter 30: System notifications

Gu Lin Fang looked at the sketch he made after inspecting Gu Ji Hung's meridians and accupoints.

'good, with this I don't need to beat around the bush, looking for them.

I'll use this same method for the other two as well, that way I can clear any doubts and get a deeper understanding'.

'But this Gu Ji Bei might be a problem...' Gu Lin Fang looked at the list of names, that Gu Ji Hung said we're with him in {Iron Crow City}, Only Gu Ji Bei had less than 40% loyalty at this point.

'Oh well, we can establish that people can die during awakening as well', Smiling at his thoughts, he looked at Gu Ji Hung, who silently circulated his Qi to offset the heat. He had a serious expression and his skin looked really red at this point,

'His loyalty is capped at 89%, just because of the incident when he was a kid and a few lessons?. What do I know, must have been traumatic for him'.

He got up in contemplation and spoke after a while, "Ji Hung, your body is now in an agitated state and it's a perfect time to start".

"Mm" with a slight hum, he agreed for Gu Lin Fang to proceed. It was obvious he was too tired even make any further movement.

'smells good hahaha' Gu Lin Fang thought with a silent laugh as he looked at Gu Ji Hung.

'Hmm...Did I over do it?, He might die with how sensitive his body is right now... wouldn't be a waste though, I'll just refine him into a puppet.' Gu Lin Fang had an amused expression, after all this would be the method he would be using to deceive any clan member that needs 'bloodline awakening' from now on.

He brought out a needle and injected it with Qi, for it to be able to penetrate his skin.

With that done, he pricked his index finger to draw blood while saying,"you will have to ingest my blood for it to kick in".

He didn't wait for a response this time upon seeing Gu Ji Hung silently open his mouth.

Gu Lin Fang found it funny, 'He doesn't even doubt me...'

He let a drop of blood fall from his finger tips to Gu Ji Hung's mouth and then traced the needle across the old man's tongue, leaving a bloody trail.

When he was done, his grin became more prominent.

'hehehe, sorry in advance Ji Hung...' he silently gave a fake apology to Ji Hung in his heart.

"Li...Lin Fa...Fa...Fang, why are there no changes?"

"Ah yeah, give it some time to kick in..." While he responded with those words, he operated the system UI and opened the clan tab, He then set the option for purity at 80%.

Aside from his first test on the girl, no one else would be getting a 100% from him. Not after he noticed one of the characteristics of the bloodline, was the suppression it had over those with lower purity, especially against those of the same level of cultivation.

Upon clicking the accept option, Gu Ji Hung's expression changed as he opened his eyes wide, his mouth was open but no sound came out.

Obviously the pain must have been very unbearable.

Gu Lin Fang quickly turned off the flame runes and then sat on the small red pillow that was placed at the center of the spirit gathering array. After which, He ignored Ji Hung's presence completely.

He wants to be done with cultivation before 10pm tonight.

Meanwhile, somewhere within {Iron Crow City}. The teenage boy that had been escorting Gu Ji Hung, finally arrived back at their hide out.

Before, he had never bothered to think about their future of this city. He always told himself that the clan wouldn't stay here for long.

After all, small places like this can't hold this many people peacefully.

But for the time being, the Gu clan still has to lay low and recover here, there is no doubt about this.

Who knew such a big change would occur.

With such thoughts, the young boy stopped the convoy in front of the Gu clan's safehouse.

He and the guards that followed got down, they observed the movement in the dark eerie street before arranging the wagon and carriage.

There were some extra horses as well.

With the darkness covering his figure, Gu Xiao Lin landed in front of an old wooden door and looked around before knocking seven times in a special tune.

Everyone of the Gu clan that lives here, naturally has to learn the same tune.

The entire building complex is backed by an odd looking forest of abandoned buildings that had been bought by them recently, they also used the time to make a tunnel maze, that let's them move between the buildings in case of an escape.

Divided by the roads, the other side was the place where the clan members really stayed.

As for the building in the center where he was knocking, it was the place where the elders of the clan live.

 Looking from this angle Gu Xiao Lin felt that they had been really busy, although it was nothing like what Elder Gu Lin Fang, no Patriarch Gu Lin Fang did in the Inner city.

Hearing the knock, the door was opened by a young man with an arrogant expression,

"Don't you know that the Elders need their rest?, Now be..."

As he was feeling good about himself, a voice came from behind,

"Beihe!! It's a hundred years to early for you to be worrying about my health.

Obviously Xiao Lin has something important or he wouldn't have come by this time.

Ji Bei, I really don't know what you have been teaching your son"

Gu ji Bei's nonchalant voice came a second later, " let it be, they're still young after all.

Xiao Lin come over quickly".

When Xiao Lin saw this scene, he barely had any expression as he walked inside.

    He is going to relay a message, the other part of the conversation had nothing to do with him after all.

 Xiao Lin came inside and bowed, blatantly disregarding the young man gritting his teeth at his side.

He brought out a letter and a wooden badge, without a word he placed it next to the two Elders.

Gu ji wan was like any other grandpa you would find anywhere, He had an amiable disposition and an ever present smile.

He looked at Gu Xiao Lin with a smile before picking up the wooden badge.

It had a "Gu" on the front side of it but when you turned it over, you'll spit the "Lin Fang".

First thing that crossed Ji wan's mind was utter shock, but then it changed to joy!.

Curious, Gu Ji Bei looked over and found Gu Ji wan picking up the letter with some impatience.

    ...

Gu Lin Fang focused on the Blood Demon Tao as he cultivated silently. The only thing that could be heard was the twitching from the unconscious Ji Hung.

Finally completing his two hours of cultivation, He finally had the time to go through his long list of notifications.

He realized during the last battle that he was getting accustomed to this world fast enough, the only problem was his experience.

It was too little for a Nascent soul elder who's almost a century old.

During the fight, he felt that he was wasting to much Qi compared to when the system controlled his body.

I need to practice more control, although the Blood Demon Tao grants a lot of Qi reserves, it would be problematic to waste it, Only to end up in a bind.

With a sigh, he opened his system notification and became shocked!.
