《The Inheritor》Ch 6 - Qi transfusion
Advertisement
In the lawn, an old man was pleading before a young couple.
If any person saw this old man begging for forgiveness and being so submissive, they would definitely pass out from shock.
Blake was a legendary idol in the hearts of the people of Unigux. He's the Dean of Natal Dawn School filled with mystery.
Helena forgave her father after he totally surrendered; she knew Blake would never harm Quinn, in fact, he loved him very much. The only reason he did not come to visit Quinn till now was that he was closing up unaware about the birth of his grandson.
The moment he received the news about Quinn's birth, and he rushed over here even without stabilizing his cultivation. This displayed Blake's unrestrained love for towards his only grandson.
After Helena accepted his apology, all their expression turned severe, and Blake took a long deep breath. Then he looked at the couple for a while, it was like the time itself stopped and only after some time Blake let out a long and heavy sigh.
Then he stood and walked a few heavy steps, with each step he took the aura around him became more and more desolate and lonely. After 10 walking steps or so he stopped. Blake stood a few meters from away with his back towards the couple.
When Andre and Helena saw the old man standing there facing the trees, they felt choked from the sadness he emitted. He was standing there like a lonely old tower on the verge of collapsing. Then Blake broke the silence.
"Helena, you are my daughter, and you always will be."
Blake spoke like he was stating a simple truth, and after a small pause, he continued.
"Andre you're like my own son. Before Crewe died, he asked me to look after you two, it was his last wish. So let me share my deepest secret with you; initially, I wanted to take this secret with me to my grave."

Then he turned around and looked directly into Helena's eyes.
Blake's eyes were filled with pain, and he looked like recalling; he was some painful memories. The previous calmness or gentleness or the aggressive aura he released were all missing; instead, he was dejected and defeated.
"Helena everything what I told about Wade and Suzy was lies. Your brother Wade did not disappear in the Mystery Fog Island and Suzy didn't get contracted with any devious poison."
"The truth is Wade was also in the same situation as Quinn. No, his situation even worse compared to Quinn, Wade had Grade 2 mortal body and Grade 5 mortal spirit."
The couple was stunned speechless, but Blake ignored them and continued.
"When we learned our son's constitution; both of us were devastated, just like the two of you. After that, we searched for methods that could increase the mortal body or soul. But as expected, we were not able to find any viable method except Qi transfusion."
"Initially, I was in a dilemma about whether to perform Qi transfusion or not. But Suzy was adamant and somehow convinced me."
Blake stopped for a while, and neither Andre nor Helena broke the silence. They were waiting for him to continue patiently.
"We were both heavenly talents of Unigux and Suzy's cultivation base was actually better than mine. So she wanted to transfer her Qi to Wade; thus, I searched for the Body Stabilizing treasure. After 5 months of life and death struggle, I found Nine-Petal Shell lotus. It is the best body Stabilizing treasure in Unigux."
When the couple heard Nine-Petal Shell lotus, they felt like their soul flew from their body. They knew very well that Nine-Petal Shell lotus was only found in the Ninth-layer of Demonic Infernal Volcano.

Demonic Infernal Volcano is the first death zone of Unigux, and the ninth layer is the most dangerous and core part of the volcano. The chance of survival after visiting ninth- layer is less than 0.00001%.
Ignoring their shock, Blake continued as if visiting ninth-layer of Demonic Infernal Volcano was just a walk in a park.
"After that, we did Qi transfusion for Wade. Suzy transferred her Qi to Wade, it was successful. Wade's innate body increased to Grade 8, and his natal soul also increased to Grade 7, which is an outstanding body constitution."
"It was also the last time I saw Suzy's smile. After seeing Wade's body constitution, Suzy let a satisfied and serene smile. Then she fell unconscious and went into a deep coma. It's been 1500 years she is yet to wake up."
After that, Blake's hand started to shiver, and beads tears came down his eyes, he was truly miserable. But he did not stop instead continued.
"Though it was heart-breaking, I was prepared for the worst, so I somehow contained myself from being driven crazy. But what happened next really broke me. After Wade's body constitution increased, I was sincerely believed that he will shine in his future and help me save his mother."
“I couldn't bring myself to tell Wade that his mother was in a coma because of him; thus, I told him that his mother got a serious illness and went to coma."
"Heaven just played tricks with our life. Everything was smooth sailing till then, unexpectedly Wade's cultivation pace slowed down, and after a point of time, it totally stopped.
Wade didn't know what was going on with him and he came to me, he was 50 years old at that time."
When Wade informed me that his cultivation stopped improving no matter how hard he practised, I got a very awful premonition.
Though I couldn't exactly find the problem, my intuition pointed at Qi transfusion, and that’s the day I felt horrible for having an accurate intuition.
"I have been closely monitoring Wade all those years, so the only problem he could have was Qi transfusion. Thus I went through many ancient records and visited many cultivators' who had got Qi transfusion and finally found a dark truth about Qi transfusion."
"Even if Qi Transfusion is successful, only 1 in 100 will not face any problem in cultivation. The rest 99 people's cultivation will meet an Absolute bottleneck at one point or other.
The reason it was known publicly is that generally, the cultivation will reach this Absolute bottleneck only after 1000 years by then most people will subconsciously ignore Qi transfusion."
"After I found the problem; I was forced to reveal everything to Wade, including the truth about his mother’s condition. He was devastated, and something intrinsic within him broke.”

In a universe where Earth is nothing but a distant memory, and humanity is clawing its way back from a million years long interstellar dark age, Sarah Ciel-étoilé is but a humble mercenary.

A Bloody Game
Eric Hunter, a boy who took a gamble with his life on the line, soon finds out that the pay off took a very different direction that he thought. Having just awoken from a pre-op only to find himself confused and all alone in a changed world and a hospital consumed by chaos he must do all he can to survive. In a new world where society crumbles and laws are merely pretty words on written paper, how will a boy who has been restricted his whole life live now that there is nothing to hold him back? When everything turns into a zero sum game of dog eat dog, they'll find that The Hunter is an all too willing participant, but he will soon find out that he isn't the only player of this game. First story I'm posting and I don't really have a cool synopsis, sorry everyone, but this story is just another LitRPG apocalypse. I guess the only difference is that the main character isn't a hero. He's not here to save the world, he's not here to make friends, and he's definitely not here to save everyone. He's probably what the villains in other similar stories would be actually. Just writing for fun, advice or constructive critism is welcomed, writing style prone to change. Warning: Incredible amounts of poor grammar, Gore, Profanities, Traumatizing content, and cliches(I plan to have multiple main characters, maybe this is too ambitious for my poor skills, but it seems like it would be fun to try, the other MCs won't show up until later on.) The cover image isn't mine I just found it online. It's a piece by Stephanie Frey This takes inspiration from a lot of great stories on here, but I find the beginning to be most similar to Blood Lust by DefinitelyNotJormlung. Starcraft and Warhammer 40k and survival world rpg by S_Conary will also influenced this (at least that's my plan if I ever get that far or finish this) Also please stay with me until chapter 3. I suck at starting stories, but have been told I get better as I'm further along.
