Chapter 68 A Beating Heart
As Gale snuggled with Jasmine, he asked the system. 'Hey, can you tell me why she behaved like that earlier?'
[ Host, it is because of the bloodline awakening in you. ]
'Huh? What bloodline are you even talking about? Isn't it true that people from families differ based on their core technique rather than bloodline?' Gale became very confused about what the system was even talking about.
[ Host, I am not talking about that. Your body is transforming into a certain race. ]
'What!? How did that happen?" Gale asked in shock.
[ The body cultivation technique you use is from that certain race. This technique has changed your whole body structure of that race. ]
Gale looked at Jasmine and said. 'So, that made her go drunk.'
[ Yes, this race has a great ability in reproduction. Their children are likely to inherit both their father's and mother's bloodlines. Furthermore, there is a chance of having a child who combines two bloodlines and creates something new. For this, they were sought after everywhere. Their body fluid is also very addictive to their opposite sexes. It can make them sexually active in a few seconds. ]
Gale's eyes widened seeing this. He didn't expect there would be a race like this. 'It looks like they are a top-tier race, and from the looks of it, they can grow infinitely.'
'So, why isn't there any information about it in the interface?'
[ The race status wasn't present from the very beginning, so it would only show up later when you had gotten one. ]
Gale felt that was a quite simple question, and now he felt embarrassed asking it. But he quickly got rid of that and got up from the bed. He sat on the edge of the bed while Jasmine slept quietly.
'Now it is time to check the storage rings.' Gale thought, then asked the system. 'How much would each cost?'
Gale's face became stern as he felt he might lose something completely today.
[ Low Human Rank cost 1 points
Mid Human Rank cost 3 points
Peak Human Rank cost 6 points ]
Gale seriously asked. 'Are you not ripping me off, system?'
[ Host, those are in a reasonable amount for opening the storage rings for you. ]
'Okay, okay, show me how many points I have?' The moment Gale asked that a small screen appeared before him.
[ Points: 224 ]
'That is actually a quiet lot!' Gale was surprised by the number of points he possessed. There wasn't any section for points in the status interface, so he was out of touch with it. 'System, from now on, add an extra section for points.'
After saying that, he said. 'Open up all the storage rings.'
The moment he said that the points decreased at a fast rate, right before his eyes. He became a little depressed seeing that but the thought of getting something good made his mood better.
[ Points: 3 ]
Then it finally stopped, and fortunately for him, there was still some left.
'I hope I get something better.' With this in mind, he pulled out the three Peak Human Rank storage rings first.
He sent his spiritual sense into one. The Peak Human Rank storage ring had just 6 cubic meters, so he quickly captured everything with his spiritual sense in seconds. ƒ𝑟𝙚e𝔀𝗲𝒃n𝒐𝘷𝗲Ɩ.c𝗼𝚖
"Huh!?" Gale's eyes widened at what he saw. There seemed to be a heart that was beating, and a crimson fire was burning all around it. "What is this?"
Gale became curious, so he brought it out of the ring. The moment it came out of the ring, the room lit up in red, and pressure started to exude from it. The pressure made Jasmine wake up from her sleep. She got up and asked with concern. "Gale, what is that?'
"This is one of the treasures I picked up from their treasury," Gale answered while looking at it beating in his hands. He used "inspection" to know more.
[ SunFlare Bird's Heart: A Heart of SunFlare Bird's Heart. The bird was at Ninth Stage Soul Formation Realm when it was killed. Eating this heart can let you use SunFlare spiritual fire, which is ranked 42 on the spiritual fire ranking. ]
Jasmine, after understanding its origin, asked. "What do you do with it?"
Lenny explained all the information he found himself after 'Inspection'. Jasmine became surprised upon finding out about its ability. She happily urged him. "Eat it quickly!"
"But," Lenny was a bit hesitant as he already had many things in his storage. Meanwhile, he had not given his harem members anything.
Jasmine felt his hesitation, and the look on his face told her everything.
"I don't need anything, Gale. Maybe, sister Fiona doesn't either. We have already gotten the best gift from you." Jasmine said while looking down at her stomach.
A smile appeared on Lenny's face after hearing what Jasmine told him. 'I am truly fortunate.'
With that, he ate the heart in one bite, as it was only fifty centimeters in size.
It didn't burn his hand when he was holding it, and it didn't burn his mouth either. But he felt nauseated eating raw meat, still, he chew it in as it would grant him more power.
The moment the blood entered his body, his whole outer appearance lit up in crimson fire.
Jasmine wanted to go forward in concern after seeing him like that but decided not to. She had to show trust and believe in him so that he could do anything.
A few moments later, the fire went away. Gale looked at his body, which was the same as before, but he felt something change inside him and in his spiritual energy.
He looked at his palm, and instantly a crimson fire burst out of it.
"It's very hot, Gale." Then he suddenly heard Jasmine cry. He glanced at her and saw she had started to sweat.
Gale became surprised as it was impossible for cultivators to sweat from the normal sun's heat. He quickly retracted the fire and wondered. 'I have not used much spiritual energy to conjure that. What would happen if I used all of my power?
