Chapter 232: Magic Medicine Blood Measurement - Part 3
Zi Di tested again and got interim results.
Testing what transcendent bloodline Lan Zao’s body had.
So far, it has been determined that it is a fishman race bloodline.
But which specifically still needed further testing,
Zi Di continued to dredge in this direction.
“I need to refine a more focused fishman race testing magic medicine.”
She took out some fishman blood from storage.
The blood was in good condition and had a silver level aura.
It was Dao Hen’s blood.
Dao Hen was a silver level, and a powerhouse on the fishmen’s side during the battle for Two Eyes Island, and despite Ku Feng being in a better state when they did battle, he still lost to Dao Hen.
His blade skills were very unique and had greatly expanded Ku Feng’s horizons.
His individual strength within the silver level was also outstanding, and when Xi Dai Zi tasted the dragonman youngster’s strength, he associated it with Dao Hen’s.
When the Battle for Two Eyes Island ended, Dao Hen fought with everything he had until he was taken prisoner by the humans.
He was currently imprisoned by Hun Tong.
The survivors acquired his blood because of the transaction they did before leaving the island. The biggest gain of that transaction for the survivors was the water pigmen slaves.
In the list of items, they also requested lots of alchemy materials, the more the better.
During the transaction process, Hun Tong naturally thought of every possible method to sweeten the deal, and thought of the fishman prisoner Dao Hen, immediately ordering that he be bled.
He also asked the Dragon Lion Mercenary Corps if they wanted Dao Hen’s bone, flesh, and scales, those too could be cut off and sold.
But Dao Hen himself couldn’t be sold.
Because Hun Tong needed to keep him still, he was to be treated as evidence to exhibit, a response to a future imperial investigation.
Even if there wasn’t an investigation, he could also use them as a military success, taking credit for the Duo Mu clan in the eyes of the empire.
In other words, Dao Hen was a relatively important political bargaining chip to Hun Tong.
It was also worth mentioning that in the transaction, the Dragon Lion Mercenary Corps also wanted to acquire the old fishman elder’s flesh.
The old fishman elder had failed at the final hurdle and was beheaded by Hun Tong.
Any part of his corpse could be regarded as a gold level material.
Zi Di used Dao Hehn’s bloodline to refine medicine.
The magic medicine was produced smoothly, and not long after, she obtained a Knife Fin bloodline testing magic medicine.
To guarantee the success rate, Zi Di had intentionally lowered the magic medicine’s level to the iron level.
Dao Hen’s blood was silver level, and it was completely possible to refine a silver level magic medicine out of it,
But Zi Di, in combination with the Magic Medicine Bathtub and a series of manufacturing tools could guarantee that bronze and iron level medicine were refined successfully.
Zi Di put the magic medicine into the alchemy formation.
The silver light mist turned pale white, but Lan Zao’s hovering blood ball didn’t react.
On the contrary, another blood reacted, although its volume and color didn’t change, the blood ball quivered and made an unexpected sonorous sound.
“Zong Ge’s blood…the color and volume didn’t change, he doesn’t have Dao Hen’s bloodline, but he does have a distant connection to it.”
“As expected, Zong Ge’s bloodline quality is very high, the white light mist was forced back by the sound, and 80% of the light mist in the alchemy formation has been emptied.”
Zi Di was both surprised and not.
Based on all kinds of indications, the survivors had long speculated that Zong Ge came from a remarkable family background.
Since it was remarkable, then Zong Ge’s bloodline quality was very likely to be great.
“Since the quality is higher than Dao Hen’s bloodline, then it can be temporarily extrapolated that his bloodline has nothing to do with fishmen bloodlines, in that case…” Zi Di examined the archive map.
With the Blade Fine bloodline was used as the starting point, and the fishman race as the category to spread out from, along with using the nonattributable property, the test result scope was reduced.
Zi Di counted roughly that there was still at least a hundred bloodline routes left.
Every route had the possibility of containing Zong Ge’s bloodline.
Zong Ge’s bloodline discovery was merely a chance gain, and Zi Di returned to testing Lan Zao’s blood.
This time, Zi Di took out the old fishman clan elder’s blood, and refined it into magic medicine.
The old fishman elder possessed a most outstanding Green Cheek bloodline characteristic, therefore, this magic medicine should detect the Green Cheek Fishman bloodline.
After this medicine was thrown into the alchemy formation, only one blood reacted somewhat.
But it wasn’t Lan Zao’s blood, but Mu Ban’s.
“This kind of reaction happening on the contrary, proves that Mu Ban’s bloodline has nothing to do with the fishman race.”
“The reason why this change occurred is because the Green Cheek fishman bloodline and Mu Ban’s human bloodline both have the wood attribute, this is same attribute resonance.”
“But Tripleblade’s bloodline also has the wood attribute, yet it didn’t react, this indicates that Tripleblade’s bloodline is very distant from the Green Cheek fishman bloodline.”
This test also had gains.
Lan Zao’s bloodline and the Green Cheek bloodline were not closely related.
Mu Ban’s bloodline on the archive map wasn’t far from the Green Cheek bloodline.
But Zi Di didn’t need to look, she knew the range was still massive and there were too many available answers.
“Alas.” Zi Di couldn’t help but sigh.
A gold level material was used, but the gains were small.
Zi Di was faintly regretful.
But the testing needed to continue.
Zi Di took out a book.
The Vampire Cookbook.
This cookbook was written by a vampire duke.
He was a fighter whose biggest pleasure was enjoying fine food.
The cookbook recorded in detail every species’ blood flavor, when to drink it, how to drink it in the most optimal way, and so on.
To help explain things to his descendants, he sealed blood samples of many species into this book.
Once the cookbook was of high quality, but now it had fallen to the silver level, and although most of the blood samples still remained, the best of them were silver level.
Although there were many kinds of blood, there was only a small amount of each.
After using them, it would be hard to make a second testing medicine afterwards.
Zi Di didn’t hesitate.
She had used the gold level old fishman clan elder’s blood, and of course she would use this blood too.
In fact, when they purchased this cookbook from the auction, they had planned to use it here.
Magic medicine blood measurement continued like before.
Red Eye fishman bloodline…nothing.
Butter Scale fishman bloodline…nothing.
Vagrant fishman bloodline. After many rounds of silence, Lan Zao’s bloodline finally reacted.
According to this result, the archive map range shrank another step.
“These bloodlines aren’t necessary to test.” Zi Di eliminated some fishman bloodlines to avoid extra trouble, saving many blood samples.
Testing continued.
Fang fishman bloodline…no reaction.
Hot Blood fishman bloodline…nothing.
The Great Float bloodline triggered another reaction.
“The blood sample is insufficient.”
When Zi Di was forced to stop, Lan Zao’s fishman bloodline still hadn’t been determined yet.
But the archive map range had been greatly reduced.
“His bloodline has three types of bloodline routes…but currently there is a lack of samples, I cannot make the appropriate testing medicine, therefore I cannot determine which of them it is.”
“Of course, there is another possibility, these three bloodline routes are all wrong. If that is so, then it will be troublesome.”
If that happened, then it usually means that prior magic medicine testing inferences were wrong at a crucial node.
The reason was simple.
The raw materials Zi Di used was various kinds of fishman blood.
Did these fishman blood samples really only contain one bloodline?
That was difficult to ascertain.
For example, take Zi Di using the old fishman clan elder’s gold level blood to make a Green Cheek fishman bloodline testing magic medicine.
If the fishman elder possessed other transcendent bloodlines, that would influence the blood reaction, then that would mean the testing results might be wrong.
In addition, did Lan Zao’s blood really only have one transcendent bloodline in it?
If he had two or even multiple kinds, being a mixed blood, then it would affect the magic medicine testing results, that was also possible.
The systemic problem of measuring blood with magic medicine has become undoubtably visible now.
The testing target might contain many bloodlines that couldn’t be purified.
The raw materials used for testing medicine also couldn’t be purified.
As an analogy, Zi Di was using a rule whose dimensions and marks were changing to measure the size of an object. Furthermore, she didn’t know if there was any overstatements of the measurements taken.
However, this was not the biggest problem.
Zi Di was most worried that if Lan Zao had a whole new bloodline that wasn’t on the archive map, what should she do?
Based on the theories, this possibility couldn’t be ruled out completely.
After working into the night, the materials, labor, and time Zi Di invested in this was conservatively estimated to be worth around 300 gold.
Although there were many results, she still hadn’t determined the first testing target’s bloodline yet.
This was based on War Merchant’s bloodline archive map.
There was no other choice.
The best chance the survivors had was using medicine to test bloodlines.
The tests on Lan Zao had temporarily come to an end.
In the future, they would need to gather more materials, refine the corresponding magic medicines to reduce the range until they could ascertain the true answer.
In the depths of the Deep Sea Monster Fish’s storage, there was another fishman corpse.
Hai Ping’s saint corpse.
However, the survivors didn’t know what the bloodline of Hai Ping’s saint corpse was.
They merely learned that when the fishmen had attacked Two Eyes Island, one of the main goals was to retrieve the saint level corpse.
Putting aside Lan Zao’s blood for the time being, Zi Di continued to immerse herself in testing.
Her chosen testing strategy was to do the easy ones first, then the difficult ones.
After Lan Zao was Zi Di’s blood.
Her bloodline contained wood and fire attributes.
The most crucial clue was its decorative design.
Thanks to War Merchant once again, Zi Di ordered the tower spirit to search through the vast database for all kinds of data on magic plants and compare them to the decorative design from before.
The tower spirit helped Zi Di find several hundred similar magic plants.
“My bloodline is likely related to a magic plant, and not an intelligent species.”
Zi Di brazenly speculated this because of the decorative design clue.
She immediately abandoned testing for intelligent life and decided to perform an in-depth investigation into magic plan type bloodlines.
The survivors didn’t have much of the pertinent alchemy materials.
Most of the magic plants were coral.
“This is wrong.”
“This also didn’t react…”
It wasn’t until medicine made mainly from Fire Pith Coral was used did Zi Di’s blood change into a sphere and glow bright red.
Zi Di was delighted.
This result seemed to prove that her hypothesis was correct, and the range finally shrank by 67%.
After testing all of the materials on hand once through, Zi Di began to flip through the Vampire Cookbook.
She had to lament her luck.
She had purchased this book on a whim.
The cookbook not only had intelligent lifeforms, but it also had the blood of many magic beasts and magic plants.
After a half hour, there was groundbreaking progress.
Before Zi Di, there were only four remaining answers.
They were the Bitter Mouth bloodline, the Mix Up bloodline, the Gunpowder Flower bloodline, and the King Sunflower bloodline.
This was already the limit.
Zi Di found it difficult to continue, because she lacked the corr3esponding materials.
“The current results are pretty good.”
“The Gunpowder Flower bloodline is gold level.”
“The Mix Up and King Sunflower bloodline are saint level.”
“Only the Bitter Mouth bloodline is iron level.”
Of course, Zi Di hoped her transcendent bloodline would be of the highest possible quality.
The Bloodline Purification formation could only improve bloodlines that were within the target’s body.
After halting the testing of her bloodline for now, Zi Di rested for a moment, then proceeded to work hard.
Based on the difficulty, she began to test Tripleblade’s bloodline next.
Tripleblade’s bloodline contained the most attributes of the survivors, it had wood, fire, and ice attributes.
This seemed very good, but in actuality, the bloodline archive map range didn’t shrink by much.
The reason was simple.
Tripleblade might not just have one transcendent bloodline, but many.
It was precisely due to multiple bloodlines mixing that caused him to have an affinity for many attributes.
Furthermore, Tripleblade’s background investigation didn’t give Zi Di many more useful cluses either.
“Let’s try all of the intelligent lifeform medicines first.” Without sufficient clues, Zi Di was forced to do it step by step.
Fishman race magic medicine did not react with Tripleblade’s blood.
Elf type medicine didn’t react.
Elemental type medicine didn’t react.
Human race medicine didn’t react either.
Goblin type medicine reacted, but this was normal, Tripleblade was a goblin.
“Oh?” Zi Di revealed an astonished expression.
When she tried beastman type medicine, Tripleblade’s blood unexpectedly burst open with three layers of light, the change was quite severe.
“Tripleblade has a beastman bloodline within him?”
“Could it be that this is one of the potential reasons he and Zong Ge are close with each other?”
With bloodline secrets revealed step by step, Zi Di ‘s understanding of the people around her increased accordingly.
“Wait a moment!”
“Beastman bloodline, three attributes, that makes me think of that famous beastman knight-errant Guo Jin.”
“He has the Three Color Panda-man bloodline!”
When Zi Di thought of that, she rushed to find it in the Vampire Cookbook, finding the Three Color panda-man blood sample in the upper section of a page.
“I’ve got a feeling…let’s have a try first!”
Zi Di made the corresponding medicine and smoothly threw it into the alchemy formation.
Tripleblade’s blood changed dramatically in the light mist, the light mist was seeping into the blood, constantly expanding it.
At the same time, the blood emitted a three color light that grew increasingly intense and concentrated.
The other data in the alchemy formation subsequently shifted greatly.
“This kind of phenomenon, essentially clinches it.”
“Tripleblade’s transcendent bloodline is the Thee Color panda-man bloodline.
She didn’t expect that at this point in the testing that Tripleblade’s bloodline would be concluded.
Zi Di coughed out some air, her complexion mixed.
“The Three Color panda-man bloodline, this is one of the most classical magic chef bloodlines.”
“Back then, that knight-errant Guo Jin wasn’t a strong fighter, he was really famous for developing a magic dish – the Three Color Ice-cream Brick.”
“Tripleblade, this guy has walked the wrong path.”
“If he becomes a cook, then his prospects and potential will be better than as a mercenary.”
Inadvertently, fate’s cruelty and paradoxical nature unfolded themselves in a small way before Zi Di.
Who would think this?
Tripleblade actually had a gold level magic chef bloodline!
