Chapter 4 The Embryo of Bloodline
Not long after swallowing the Bloodline Inheritance Stone, Lin Wei felt his skin itch, his muscles began to twitch irregularly, and his blood seemed to be ignited, radiating heat.
As he trembled, sweat poured from Lin Wei's head, forming a thin layer of steam in the basement.
"It's too hot, no, this will make me dehydrated."
Lin Wei jumped directly into the large vat of clean water that had been prepared beforehand, stuffed a handful of salt into his mouth, and began to carefully feel the changes in his body.
"According to the breathing technique, this first step is to activate the bloodline seed and forge the prototype of the bloodline. It all comes down to the concentration of the bloodline and willpower."
"My bloodline concentration is definitely high enough, and I'm confident in my willpower as well; it's certainly not something those pampered aristocratic children can compare to!"
Lin Wei grew up in a remote mountain village in his previous life. He gradually moved from his backward hometown to a big city and put down roots. When it comes to enduring hardship and perseverance, he has never been afraid of anyone.
If it weren't for the accidental time travel, we could have continued climbing.
"The rest of my blood rushed into my heart. It's like a ghost. There seems to be a miniature orange lion being conceived inside."
If he hadn't experienced it firsthand, Lin Wei wouldn't have believed that the human body could undergo such miraculous changes; he had only eaten a magical, heat-generating stone.
Before long, the temperature of the large vat of clear water that Lin Wei was soaking in rose higher and higher, and the vat was scalded so much that cracks appeared on its surface.
Lin Wei's consciousness had long since faded, but he clung to life, repeatedly chanting, "If others can do it, so can I! I want to be a superhuman too!"
The deep blue face of the Rubik's Cube in his mind was beginning to unlock at a speed visible to the naked eye.
......
Half a month later, the old Earl passed away, and the entire Chengshi territory was filled with sorrow.
The eldest son, Victor, inherited the old count's will and successfully became the new Earl of Chengshi, enjoying unparalleled prestige for a time.
As for the second son, Simon, he was sent by the dying count to the kingdom to negotiate a new round of tax policies.
Lin Wei, the illegitimate son, has never made an appearance.
The old count simply dispatched a few of his most trusted old military subordinates to lead troops and guard Linwei's small castle with the highest level of security, not even allowing a single sparrow to fly in.
The second-in-command of the territory, the head steward, began to assist the newly appointed Earl of Chengshi, in accordance with the old earl's last wishes.
The overall development of the territory is stable and positive.
After an unknown amount of time, noises came from Lin Wei's basement.
"I'm so thirsty! Water, I need water!"
Lin Wei got up, pounded on the iron door of the basement, and drank the water that the guard captain Ham hurriedly handed him in one gulp.
Upon seeing that Lin Wei was still alive, the latter breathed a sigh of relief and collapsed to the ground.
With no movement for so long, Ham was afraid that Lin Wei had died in the basement, but Lin Wei had given a strict order that no one was allowed to open the iron door.
Lin Wei, having regained some strength, patted him on the shoulder and said with a smile, "Very good, Ham, you did a great job on the mission!"
"Get me some food, the more meat the better, I'm starving."
Before long, Ham brought over some delicious lamb and beef. He looked at the young man wolfing it down and felt uneasy.
Ham thought to himself, "This voice is indeed Lord Lin Wei's, but he's lost a bit of weight and his appearance has changed quite a bit. His features are more defined, and he's become more handsome."
He tentatively asked, "Lord Lin Wei, are you alright?"
With the delicious food filling his stomach, Lin Wei was in a great mood and said with a smile, "Of course I'm fine. What are you thinking about?"
Ham politely shook his head: "It's nothing, it's nothing, sir, it's good that you've come out!"
Lin Wei shook his head silently. This kid wasn't telling the truth. He directly turned the Rubik's Cube in his mind to the purple heart side and opened Ham's "Heartfelt Words" section.
[What should I do? Lord Lin Wei has barely eaten or drunk anything for two months, surviving only on the few tanks of water I prepared. Could he have been possessed by a vampire?! I've heard vampires only drink blood and don't eat, and they're handsome. Oh no, will Lord Lin Wei come and suck my blood in the middle of the night? I'm still a virgin, I don't want to die…]
Lin Wei fell silent.
Ham saw that he suddenly stopped talking and started sweating profusely, and started imagining things again.
"Vampires? With an imagination like yours, it's a waste that you're not writing fairy tales. But I've already been here for two months?"
Lin Wei said irritably.
"Tell me in detail what has happened in the past two months, down to the smallest detail."
......
Lin Wei spent half a day organizing what Ham had said, then returned to the basement and asked Ham to convey his regards to the old Earl's former subordinates.
During this time, upon hearing the news of the old count's death, Lin Wei drank a large glass of rum into the air as a sign of mourning.
In the basement, Lin Wei was holding a map of the kingdom and began to draw lines.
"According to the route, the second brother Simon is already on his way back, and this territory is about to fall into chaos."
"Boss Victor and the head butler have been cooperating fairly well. However, a few days ago, the head butler acted out of character and severely punished several of his subordinates. I'm afraid he lost his composure because he couldn't get the breathing technique that was within his grasp."
"That old dog, he's still up to his old tricks..."
Lin Wei knew that no matter how the three brothers fought, it was an internal matter of the Chengshi family.
It's absolutely unacceptable for the head steward, an outsider, to harbor ulterior motives and try to profit from the situation.
"Speaking of breathing techniques, I should have completed the first step of forging the rudimentary form of the bloodline."
Lin Wei closed his eyes, sensing the lifelike little lion inside his heart, and a strange feeling welled up in his heart, a feeling of great closeness.
"The breathing technique mentions that this Cheng Lion is an extraordinary creature, not only fierce and strong, but also able to walk on the water."
Lin Wei casually threw a punch, which slammed into the wall, but the force of the punch bounced back.
"Clang!"
The walls remained unchanged.
"It doesn't hurt much. Apart from my skin and bones becoming harder, I'm not much different from before. I'm not really a knight yet."
"Only by mastering this specific breathing frequency in the second step can I become a knight and have the ability to protect myself."
"Time waits for no one. It's still relatively safe now, so I can continue cultivating and improving myself. That's the key. In this world, I can only rely on myself."
Lin Wei calmed down and began to change his breathing frequency according to the instructions of the breathing method.
"Exhale for 7 seconds, then inhale for 3 seconds, pause and hold your breath for 2 seconds, then inhale for 4 seconds... During this time, your nasal cavity needs to vibrate irregularly to the right, and then..."
Although the breathing frequency was very strange, Lin Wei did as instructed.
After going through the process, Lin Wei's head throbbed from choking on his own breath. He said with a wry smile, "It's awful! It seems like nothing happened. I must have messed up a step in the middle."
Just then, the dark blue face of the Rubik's Cube in Lin Wei's mind was completely pieced together.
"Buzz!"
After a flash of deep blue light, several lines of text appeared before my eyes.
Name: Albus Linwei
【Chengshi Breathing Technique: Level 1 (1/500)】
[Experience points for the Lion Breathing Technique: +1. After being tripled by the Deep Blue Face, experience points: +3]
Lin Wei opened his mouth wide, unable to close it for a long time.
