322: Bloodline family

The Captain and Vice-Captain of the Xingyun Squad felt their hearts tremble. What had they just heard? Take over Xuanhu Pharmaceutical Group?

Is this, is this really possible? But then, recalling the unbelievable abilities of the person before them three days ago, the two felt it wasn't impossible.

However, very quickly, the two Captains' expressions dimmed. No other reason, their strength was too low; they weren't even Level Four. How could they manage the vast Xuanhu Pharmaceutical Group?

Xuanhu Pharmaceutical Group, not to mention its seven small Survivor Bases, five medium Survivor Bases, and one ten-thousand-person Survivor Base, just the Xuanhu Pharmaceutical Group's influence at Zhenhai Pass was something the two couldn't control, let alone the Xuanhu Pharmaceutical Group's main base in the Qiongzhou Official Safe Zone.

The Xingyun Captain gave a bitter smile, "Thank you for your kindness, Mr. Tang, but we know our strength is insufficient and we probably can't handle it."

The Vice-Captain also shook her head, "We are only Level Three Talent Users, and our Talent is only C-rank. In front of Xuanhu Pharmaceutical Group, we are just small fries. Even if Mr. Tang kills all of their second level and above Talent Users, it wouldn't be our turn, two nobodies, to take over."

Cheng Zijun picked up the bowls and chopsticks from the ground, "Maternal Uncle, stop joking. Where do we have that ability? It's already very good that the Captain and Vice-Captain are recovering now."

In Tang Ping's hand, three blood-colored masses appeared, "Since I said this, I will naturally give you the strength to control Xuanhu Pharmaceutical. Now, it depends on whether you dare to consume these three masses. However, although these things are heaven-defying, after consuming them, you will no longer be truly free in the future.

Of course, if you choose not to consume them, it doesn't matter. After I casually eliminate a few experts from Xuanhu Pharmaceutical, I will incidentally gather some experience stones and other resources. I imagine it should be no big problem to help one or two of you advance to Level Four. However, your Talent will still only be C-rank. Without a faction to gather resources, it will be extremely difficult to upgrade your Talent to B-rank and join the ranks of experts in the future."

"Two choices, you decide yourselves."

The first choice was naturally to accept the bloodline. The three bloodlines Tang Ping chose were all excellent. After consumption, 30% of the bloodline could directly grant strength comparable to a top-tier Level Four A-rank Talent Holder!

In as short as half a year, or as long as a year, after completely digesting the bloodline, the bloodline would reach 40%, allowing them to instantly become comparable to a Level Five Expert.

Not to mention, within the bloodline, they could also inherit Talents from ancient beasts, possessing astonishing combat power.

But similarly, after consuming the bloodline, they would be subject to Tang Ping, and it would be a bond that their descendants, generation after generation, could never escape. Tang Ping did not elaborate on this, but he had already made it clear that consuming it would make them subject to him. How to choose was their own business.

As for the second option, it was naturally more free, but perhaps for this life, they would just be ordinary Talent Users, C-rank Talent Users. Even if they reached Level Four, they would not have the ability to manage a faction of Xuanhu Pharmaceutical's caliber, but among lone wolves, they would already be considered upper-tier. As long as they didn't offend major factions, their latter half of life would basically be worry-free.

However, without any fortuitous encounters or a faction, it would be almost impossible to upgrade their Talent to B-rank in this lifetime. The preciousness of talent upgrade stones would only become more outrageous as time passed.

The room fell silent.

Only the rolling steam from the pot and the bubbling soup made noise.

"Can this thing really give us the strength to control Xuanhu Pharmaceutical?" The Captain's hoarse voice sounded, his eyes already quietly tinged with a fervent heat.

"Consume them, and you will quickly gain strength comparable to the strongest person in Xuanhu Pharmaceutical. And with three portions, it means all three of you will gain this level of power, and it won't interfere with your existing strength as Talent Users." Tang Ping's voice seemed to carry a certain magic, making the three of their hearts tremble fiercely.

The Vice-Captain, this valiant-looking girl, swallowed, "Strength comparable to a top-tier Level Four A-rank Talent Holder?"

"Yes."

The Captain looked at the eyes of his two teammates and already knew how to choose, "Good! We choose to consume this thing!"

Since the apocalypse, he, as Captain, had already deeply realized that without strength, there was nothing. He couldn't even control his own destiny, let alone protect his friends.

If he had strength, Xuanhu Pharmaceutical Group wouldn't have dared to forcibly arrest them and send them to Zhenhai Pass; if he had strength, he wouldn't have had to flee from the campus in a sorry state, watching countless classmates perish; if he had strength, Old Third and Old Fifth wouldn't have died, and Old Fourth wouldn't have fallen into the river, his whereabouts unknown.

Everything was due to a lack of power.

But now, power was right in front of them.

The Xingyun Captain swallowed the bloodline in one gulp.

Cheng Zijun and the Vice-Captain also consumed the ancient bloodline. Perhaps they didn't yet know how rare this bloodline was in the outside world. Countless experts, families, and factions sought a portion from Heavenly Mansion but couldn't obtain it, especially after Tang Ping had the Blood God Clan as his loyal servants, the ancient bloodlines scattered outside became even rarer.

In fact, the matter of Heavenly Mansion's ancient bloodline had long become an open secret. Smart people already knew that although Heavenly Mansion had never explicitly stated the side effects of the bloodline, such a heaven-defying item that Heavenly Mansion could use for external transactions naturally had great restrictions.

Everyone wasn't foolish. Those who generally sought bloodlines from Heavenly Mansion already had the intention of relying on this great tree in their hearts, while truly top-tier factions naturally wouldn't touch such power of unknown origin.

Therefore, Heavenly Mansion's current influence, when trading bloodlines to the outside world, was no longer simply limited to one place, or even one country.

Large and small bloodline families, centered around Heavenly Mansion, were weaving another network. After decades or centuries, this network would truly give birth to a terrifying behemoth!

And at this moment, in the future Qiongzhou Official Safe Zone, perhaps three more bloodline families would emerge, along with the Xuanhu Pharmaceutical Group controlled by these three great bloodline families.

Tang Ping looked at the three unconscious individuals and continued to eat the stewed beef in the pot.

The three's strength was far inferior to the three major faction leaders of Qing Tian back then, so the time to digest the bloodline would naturally be longer.

So, the first to wake up was Wang Lingling.

The next morning, with a crisp sound, followed by sounds like shattering porcelain filling the entire room.

Finally, with a not-too-loud explosion, the white cocoon cracked open, and the fragments transformed into light and dissipated.

Wang Lingling, lying inside, her eyelashes trembled, and finally, she opened her eyes.

"You're awake."

Wang Lingling looked at the familiar room and heard a familiar voice, and she was stunned. This wasn't her teammates' voice. It sounded like...?

As she turned her head, she saw that familiar face, and for a moment, she froze.

"Maternal Uncle?"
