Chapter 179: Blood Pool
'Swiish'
Amidst Ethan's shock, a silhouette jumped out of his shadow.
"Master, if you don't mind, can I cultivate? This Pure Blood Essence helps me with my cultivation and also to increase the mastery of the cultivation techniques."
Although she wanted to cultivate as soon as possible, Sera didn't do it; instead, she asked for Ethan's permission.
"Of course, you should. Cultivate and absorb as much Pure Blood Essence as possible."
Ethan came out of his shock and urged Seraphis to cultivate.
'Swiish'
In the next second, Sera's eyes turned red as she opened her mouth and devoured the Pure Blood Essence while circulating her main Demonic Technique to quickly refine it.
'What's happening?'
After that, Ethan took a deep breath as he muttered to himself.
In just a few seconds, multiple things happened in front of Ethan, making him a bit confused; however, since all these things were only good things, he was excited.
Nevertheless, he wanted to find out exactly why such things happened all of a sudden.
'First, where am I getting these free Life Points?'
Ethan focused on the series of system notifications related to the free Life Points he was getting per second.
'So, it is the work of my talent.'
It didn't take long because Ethan noticed the first system notification.
'Ding,
The host's Special Talent [Blood Devouring] has been triggered. Converting the pure Blood Essence into Life Points.
It was the new Special Talent that Ethan bought after dying in the Abyss and after reviving, he didn't check as he got busy with other things.
'Let's see what the actual effects of my new Special Talent are.'
Seeing that, he was getting Life Points from the Pure Blood Essence around him, Ethan hurriedly checked the details of that talent.
'Ding,
Special Talent: Blood Devouring.
Effect: The host can absorb and refine Pure Blood Essence, all types of blood, and blood-related treasures and convert them into Life Points. The higher the purity and grade of the Blood Essence, the greater the Life Points gained.
'I know it is a Special Demonic Talent, but it looks even more demonic than I thought.'
Ethan raised his brows for a moment before shaking his head.
'With this talent, I got another source of Life Points. Excellent.'
Whether something is Righteous or Demonic, it depends on how it is used… at least that is what Ethan believed.
Of course, there were cultivators who used Righteous Skills and talents to do evil things.
Anyway, the Demonic Skills or Talents are a bit more powerful than the Righteous ones and are quite helpful for cultivators like Ethan.
It was also because of this reason that he was actively buying Demonic Skills and Talents, even learning the Demonic Cultivation Technique from Seraphis.
'As expected of a talent that I spent 5 million to buy.'
Each second he was getting 100 Life Points, and it's been already more than two minutes, and he was still getting them.
So, obviously, Ethan was excited.
'Because of the Blood Essence, the Bloodheart Lotuses are also close to their maturity. I just hope this phenomenon lasts for another couple of minutes.'
Ethan silently hoped in his heart as he looked at the bubbling red-coloured water in the Spirit Spring, understanding why it was happening.
Although he knew it had something to do with the Blood Dragon Blood Essence he dropped into the Spirit Spring, Ethan believed the ongoing phenomenon was not just because of that.
'If that were the case, it would have happened when I put it into the Spirit Spring.'
Ethan continued to think when he suddenly saw something in the pool that made him understand what had really happened.
"Celea, is this your doing?"
Looking at the white-and-gold-scaled fish in the Spirit Spring, Ethan asked the Celestial Spring Koi.
Last night, when he was revived in his room, Ethan asked the Celestial Spring Koi to rest in the Spirit Spring.
Of course, he was expecting it to enhance the Spirit Essence in the Spirit Spring.
Earlier, he was too excited about nurturing the Dragonheart Lotus Plants and the Evolution of the Clearheart Lotus Plants.
So, he forgot about the Koi in the Spirit Spring and unexpectedly, it turned the Spirit Spring into a Temporary Blood Spirit Spring.
'Shuaa… shuaa.'
The koi lifted its head slightly and made soft sounds as its clear blue eyes met Ethan's gaze and acknowledged Ethan's words.
[Status: Proud – Master, you finally noticed my work. Hmph! You were too focused on those plants to see my brilliance.]
At the same time, he checked its status, which made Ethan smile.
"Sorry… sorry. It's my fault."
Ethan quickly apologized to his Spirit Pet and silently thought, 'As expected of a Heavenly Spirit Beast.'
'Wait a second… can I use Celea to create this Blood Spirit Pool phenomenon or other similar phenomena?'
Suddenly, Ethan thought of something and his eyes lit up.
'Let's wait until this phenomenon is finished. I should research more about Celea's abilities and skills.'
With that thought in mind, Ethan stopped thinking about it and enjoyed the system notifications that informed him about the free Life Points.
Time continued to pass, and in a flash, 15 minutes had gone by.
The once bubbling Blood Spirit Spring gradually began to settle.
The thick blood-red hue in the water slowly faded as it returned to its usual crystal-clear state.
The rich scent of Blood Essence lingering in the air dissipated, and it was replaced by the familiar refreshing aura of pure Spirit Essence, much purer than before the Blood Pool Phenomenon.
'It's finally over.'
Ethan watched as the last few ripples in the Spirit Spring disappeared, confirming that the temporary Blood Spirit Spring had reverted to its normal form.
"Congratulations, Sera.'
Shaking off his thoughts, Ethan first congratulated the Night Demon, who successfully broke through to the Level 8 Foundation Establishment Realm.
"Thank you, Master."
Sera thought she would need at least a couple of months to break through; however, she completed it in just 15 minutes, and it was all thanks to her Master.
So, she quickly thanked Ethan before jumping into his shadow to consolidate her cultivation.
'It's time to harvest the Bloodheart Lotuses.'
Looking at the information on the Bloodheart Lotus Plants, Ethan rubbed his hands in excitement.
