Chapter 106 The Blood of a Pure Heart
The child nodded slightly, indicating that he was indeed capable of leading the way, but then shook his head, as if he wanted to say something but stopped himself.
Standing to the side, Xu Yan, with her keen perception, instantly understood the child's intention.
Without saying a word, he took out some money from his pocket as payment and gently placed it in the child's dirty palm.
A glint of light flashed in the child's eyes. He gripped the money tightly in his hand, then turned and led the three of them toward a secluded path.
Throughout the journey, everyone remained silent, their hearts filled with anticipation and trepidation.
After walking for an unknown amount of time, the child finally stopped in front of a dilapidated temple.
The temple looked abandoned for a long time, with weeds growing all around and the walls peeling and crumbling.
Upon entering the temple, one sees an elderly man with white hair sitting in the very center.
Although time has etched deep marks on his face, his eyes remain bright and piercing, revealing a transcendent and wise light.
Upon seeing this, Wen Xingyu quickly stepped forward, respectfully bowed to the old man, explained his purpose, and carefully handed him the ancient book he was carrying.
The old man was initially skeptical of the ancient book she mentioned, but after carefully reading it, his attitude immediately changed.
The old man slowly raised his head, looking at them with profound eyes. "The demons recorded in this ancient book are true. They are reviving, and they are even more evil than before."
After a pause, the old man pointed to a mark on the map, "This is the suspected location of their lair, but it's surrounded by traps and evil energy, making it difficult to enter. Moreover..."
Huan Yue clenched her fists. "No matter how difficult it is, we must try. We cannot let them harm living beings."
Xu Yan and Wen Xingyu nodded in agreement.
The old man gave us a deep look, and finally couldn't help but advise, "It will be difficult for you to wipe out that force. They are backed by powerful evil magic, and their lair is located in another dimension, which can only be entered through special methods."
Wen Xingyu asked eagerly, "What method?"
The old man looked at her and said, "The Five Elemental Pearls need to be nourished with the blood of someone with a pure heart to open the gate to another dimension."
The wise man gazed silently at the three people before him, his eyes deep and sharp, as if he could see through everything.
However, faced with the resolute expressions of the three, he chose to remain silent.
Time passed by, and the atmosphere grew increasingly heavy.
Finally, the wise man broke the silence and slowly said, "I know that finding the Five Elemental Pearls alone is already fraught with difficulties, not to mention the many unknown dangers that await you."
"In my opinion, you should go back to where you came from and stop interfering in this matter, lest you lose your lives in vain."
"No! Absolutely not!" Almost at the same moment, the three of us shouted in unison, our voices filled with determination and resentment.
At this moment, Huan Yuechu, who had been silent all along, stepped forward and spoke first, asking, "May I ask your honorable name?"
The wise man nodded slightly and said in a deep voice, "No need for formalities, everyone calls me Fifth Master."
After receiving the answer, Huan Yuechu immediately followed up with, "Fifth Master, what exactly is this 'pure blood of the soul' you just mentioned?"
Upon hearing this question, Fifth Master couldn't help but sigh, a hint of helplessness appearing on his face, as he explained.
"The so-called pure blood is the blood flowing in the veins of those who have never harbored the slightest evil thought. In today's world, such pure people are extremely rare."
After hearing these words, Huan Yuechu, Xu Yan, and Wen Xingyu looked at each other and exchanged glances, all three of them with worried expressions.
Wen Xingyu bit her lip, seemingly having made a great decision, and asked Fifth Master again, "Fifth Master, is there really no other feasible method?"
Fifth Master gently shook his head and replied firmly, "According to ancient books, this is the only way to achieve success; there is no other way."
At this moment, Xu Yan stepped forward and said, "Fifth Master, I have been influenced by my family since childhood and have always been kind-hearted. Perhaps my blood can be used as a test."
Huan Yuechu said in surprise, "Xu Yan, don't be reckless."
Xu Yan smiled and said, "Boss lady, how will you know it won't work if you don't try?"
Fifth Master narrowed his eyes slightly, staring intently at Xu Yan in front of him, as if trying to see right through him.
Time seemed to stand still; the room was so quiet that only the tense breathing of the people could be heard.
After a long while, Fifth Master slowly spoke, "Young man, since that's the case, let's try taking a drop of blood first." With that, he gently flicked his sleeve.
A seemingly ordinary and unremarkable stone appeared in his hand.
Fifth Master held up the stone and showed it to the three of them, saying, "Please look, everyone. This is our clan's secret test stone. It can discern whether the heart of the blood's owner is pure and flawless."
"If it encounters the blood of a person with a pure heart, this stone will shine brightly; otherwise, it will have no reaction." After saying this, Fifth Master turned his gaze to Xu Yan again, a hint of expectation in his eyes.
Xu Yan remained calm and composed, gently cutting her finger with a small knife.
Instantly, bright red blood gushed from the wound, dripping down like red pearls.
One drop of blood landed precisely on that mysterious optometry stone.
In that instant, the previously dull optometry stone suddenly emitted a faint light, like a twinkling star in the night sky.
Although the light was not dazzling, it was enough to make everyone present take notice.
A hint of surprise flashed in Fifth Master's eyes as he stared intently at the optometry stones. He couldn't help but mutter to himself, "Perhaps... this time it really will work!"
Upon hearing Fifth Master's words, a glimmer of hope ignited in everyone's hearts.
However, just as everyone was filled with anticipation, Xu Yan squeezed out another drop of blood, which slowly dripped onto the optometry stone.
Something unexpected happened—the Five Elemental Pearls, which had been emitting a faint light, suddenly began to vibrate violently, as if they had been subjected to a great stimulus.
Immediately afterwards, the faint light went out as quickly as a candle flickering in the wind, and the entire space was plunged into darkness once again.
Seeing this, Fifth Master frowned deeply and said with a solemn expression, "It seems it still won't work... Although you have good intentions, there are still some impurities in your blood."
Upon hearing Fifth Master's words, the hopes that had just risen among the crowd were dashed like a bucket of cold water, and their hearts sank to the bottom once again.
Wen Xingyu said with a distressed expression, "What should we do? Don't we have any other ideas?"
Huan Yuechu, standing to the side, clenched her fists tightly and said with a determined look in her eyes, "Don't be discouraged! We'll definitely think of other ways. As long as we don't give up, there's always hope!"
Just when everyone was at a loss, the child who had been silent all along suddenly spoke up, "I can try."
Everyone looked at him in surprise. Fifth Master looked the child up and down and asked, "Why do you think you can do it?"
