Chapter 287: Zi Di’s Bloodline

The night was dark, but the Deep Sea Monster Fish’s alchemy cabin was brilliantly illuminated.

The ghost girl Di Zi floated behind the alchemy formation, her mood somewhat unstable.

“Tonight’s magic medicine blood measurement will finally tell me what my bloodline is.”

Bloodlines had an incomparably immense effect on an individual’s life, almost no other factor could compare to its impact.

For years, Zi Di had imagined countless times how much better things would be if her bloodline was just more outstanding. 

But that was clearly impossible.

If bloodlines could be changed as one wished, then the world would be changed beyond recognition.

When Zi Di learned of the Bloodcore’s existence and about the Bloodline Purification Formation, she was very emotional.

Zi Di was constantly thinking about the Bloodline Purification Formation, of how it would give her a second chance to change her life!

This kind of chance for her was really impactful and significant.

It was so important that it might completely change her life, so much so that her entire world would seem to be altered. 

Previously, her magic medicine blood measurement had gotten to a particular stage.

Zi Di’s bloodline had four possible answers.

They were the Bitter Mouth bloodline, Mix Up bloodline, Gunpowder Flower bloodline, and King Sunflower bloodline.

The alchemy formation slowly activated.

The formation once again produced a bright white mist.

Zi Di’s blood sample condensed into a small ball, floating above the center of the alchemy formation.

Due to practice, Zi Di was far more familiar with the process.

She threw in the prepared testing medicine.

The medicine flowed into the light mist and quickly dissolved completely, turning the light mist into a sandy yellow.

Zi Di’s blood in the yellow light gradually changed into a red ball of light.

At the beginning the ball of light had an irregular and bumpy surface and was constantly undulating.

After a moment, the ball of light gradually stabilized and turned into a completely smooth sphere.

When Zi Di saw this, she suddenly let out a breath.

This result had indicated that she didn’t have the Bitter Mouth bloodline.

If it were the Bitter Mouth bloodline, the ball of light would still be spherical, but its surface would end up being filled with sharp thorns.

But that was clearly not what happened.

Zi Di was hoping she didn’t have the Bitter Mouth bloodline.

The reason was simple: the Bitter Mouth bloodline was only iron level.

If she had that bloodline, then even if she used the Bloodline Purification Formation, nothing much would change.

Zi Di had already been an iron level during life, and the limit of the Bitter Mouth bloodline was likewise iron level.

At most, it would increase her strength somewhat, however, her lifelong achievements would still be restrained to the iron level.

Zi Di continued to throw in medicine.

The medicine completely evaporated in the alchemy formation, turning the yellow light mist back to white.

In this white mist, the red ball of light gradually changed again.

Something in the ball of light gradually shrank to the size of an eye.

Looking from the outside, the red ball of light looked like a plump eyeball.

The eyeball’s sclera was yellow, and the pupil was black.

Red, yellow, and back, these three colors were clearly separated, none of them mixed. This indicated that Zi Di’s bloodline was not mixed.

If it was the Mix Up bloodline, then the three colors would be mixed with each other, and like constantly stirred dye, there would not be a final blended color. 

Zi Di was inwardly disappointed. 

Because the Mix Up bloodline was a saint level bloodline.

A pharmacist with this bloodline was an expert at mixing different medicinal ingredients together and easily controlling their proportions, thereby reaching the planned reactions.

To Zi Di, the Mix Up bloodline was the one most suited to being a pharmacist of the options.

Unfortunately, she didn’t have it.

Zi Di’s third medicine was put into the alchemy formation.

Every testing medicine was different and had been specially refined by Zi Di.

This testing medicine was absorbed by the red eyeball, causing its form to slowly change.

The eyeball’s black pupil gradually turned into the shape of a flower.

This change was within Zi Di’s expectations.

Her bloodline now only had two possible choices, one was the Gunpowder Flower bloodline, and the other was the King Sunflower bloodline.

No matter which it was, both would produce this change.

If it didn’t have this change, then that would be terrible – it would prove a mistake happened during the testing procedure.

It was possible the testing medicine was wrong or that there was a problem with the alchemy formation. There were too many places where things could go wrong, and Zi Di had to start from the beginning and examine every step to see where the error occurred.

Bloodline testing was so troublesome.

Magic medicine blood measurement was tantamount to using a nonstandard gauge to weight a mysterious object.

“The next change will determine whether it will be the Gunpowder Flower bloodline or the King Sunflower bloodline.”

Zi Di subconsciously held her breath.

At this moment, she nervously forgot that she was a ghost, she didn’t need to breathe at all.

The moment seemed to stretch on and on.

It was obviously just a few minutes, but Zi Di seemed to live through seven or eight days.

Zi Di unblinkingly stared at the flower in the eyeball sized ball of light as its color gradually changed.

The black turned to crimson.

Then the outline of the flower pupil also became soft and curved.

The crimson color stretched outwardly, slowly forming the shape of a flame.

It gave people who looked at it a feeling of warmth.

At this moment, the question of Zi Di’s bloodline had been answered.

“It is the Gunpowder Flower bloodline, and not the King Sunflower bloodline.”

Zi DI was very disappointed.

The King Sunflower bloodline was saint level, while the Gunpowder Flower bloodline was only gold level.

Of the two, Zi Di naturally admired the King Sunflower bloodline more.

But reality was not what you wanted it to be.

Reality was reality, it could not be altered by people’s mere thoughts. Therefore, saying that you hope one’s wishes come true is a throwaway blessing.

“Thinking carefully, this outcome is pretty good.”

“The King Sunflower bloodline is more suited for magicians that grow medicinal plants and engage in magical plantations.”

“The Gunpowder Flower bloodline is more suited for making compounds, especially gunpowder.”

Gunpowder was also a type of medicine, as medicine usually appeared as fine powder. It was used broadly in firearms, cannons, and other long ranged weaponry.

Zi Di tried to console herself, to little success.

“Even though the King Sunflower Bloodline is not specifically inclined towards pharmacists, when refining medicine, the bloodline is still very useful, and more rounded than the Gunpowder Flower bloodline. Compared to it. the Gunpowder Flower bloodline only has an advantage when making gunpowder, and even then, the King Sunflower bloodline is only a bit inferior to it.”

Zi Di deeply sighed, “Alas, I didn’t expect my bloodline to be the Gunpowder Flower bloodline.”

“Hold on, what am I going on about? To an iron level, this outcome is pretty good. Why am I not content with my lot?”

Zi DI could only bitterly laugh for a moment.

Mainly because the contrast was too distinct.

Saint level and gold level. The latter could be Lord of a territory, such as Hun Tong was. While the former could be the backbone of an entire region.

The two were in completely different social classes.

In society, the scenery one’s life had was poles apart with every social class one rose.

Zi Di’s mentality had a massive disparity, despite being mentally prepared.

Perhaps there was another reason.

During the last magic medicine blood measurement, she had tested the big guy’s bloodline to be at least legend level.

With such an example before her, Zi Di couldn’t help but fantasize how things would be if her bloodline was like that too.

But the facts proved she was overthinking.

Zi DI gradually calmed down and slowly accepted the facts.

She began to reflect on how to use this bloodline.

“Magicians with the Gunpowder Flower bloodline are experts at making gunpowder.”

Zi Di had known of many different types of gunpowder. They all had different characteristics and effects.

After she obtained War Merchant’s database, she found out that there were many more types of high end gunpowder, and that when classified by actual combat results, they were leagues apart from each other. 

After cannons and firearms were invented, gunpowder had a fairly quick and violent development, and nowadays, there were over a hundred classifications and dozens of qualities of them. 

“But at present, my group doesn’t need to refine large amounts of gunpowder.”

Zi Di understood clearly that they needed spirit type medicine.

Ones capable of increasing one’s spiritual strength to death with mental attacks and willpower tampering, among other methods.

But currently, despite having War Merchant’s database’s fine prescriptions, the spiritual medicines Zi Di could make had a mediocre effect. 

During the duel, the dragonman youngster had taken this medicine beforehand, yet still became dizzy when hit by Bear Roar.

When dealing with the Evil Eye’s spirit rays, the medicine’s defensive effects were even more useless. 

Zi Di understood that guarding against sprit type attacks was very difficult. To ensure real results, she had to use gold level medicine.

But as of now, she could only make small batches of silver level potions, and her success rate of refining gold level potions was very low.

“If it were the Mix Up bloodline or the King Sunflower bloodline, perhaps I could increase my gold level medicine refinement success rate. But it is the Gunpowder Flower bloodline, and it won’t help me much in the early stages.”

When Zi Di thought of that, she sighed again.

Outstanding bloodlines could step across the levels in many aspects.

For example, the dragonman youngster’s Flame Dragon King bloodline could give him dragon scales analogous to a gold level defense at the silver level.

Zi Di had very high hopes for her bloodline, part of the reason was that the entire Dragon Lion Mercenary Corps needed medicine manufacturing capabilities.

With an outstanding medicine manufacturing ability, Zi Di could sell medicine and establish a steady profit channel for the entire team and be able to improve the team’s unhealthy financial situation.

With outstanding manufacturing means, Zi Di could also refine cultivation accelerating medicine that could help the survivors strengthen themselves faster.

The Gunpowder Flower bloodline was something the majority of people could wholly accept as

But when put into Zi Di’s body, and the current Dragon Lion Mercenary Corps, reality’s answer did not meet expectations.
