Xun Xie couldn't help asking Leng Mingyuan, "What did you see?"

Leng Mingyuan whispered, "I saw the eyes of those snakes, they were scarlet and bloody, so scary."

"Snake eyes?"

Xun Xie's heart shook, he looked at the red blood sacs again, and said solemnly: "Those snake eyes in your eyes, in my eyes, should be some red blood sacs."

"Blood sac?" Leng Mingyuan turned her head sharply, looked at Xun Xie for a while, and then pondered a bit.

She stepped forward and chatted with the fish-killer.

This fish-killing man had never seen such a beautiful woman before. He was shell shocked by such a bombshell beauty, prettier than all the jewels he had seen combined, like a fairy descended to the earth, so his mouth was agape, and he was mute for a while before tripping over his words in response.

Leng Mingyuan had no idea her appearance would serve as a catalyst for a somewhat amusing yet tragic event that would befall this fish killer.

He has been frail and sick since he was a child. He was born like this, hunchback, old and withered, with a fragile physique from early on in his mother's womb, and the doctors couldn't cure this congenital disease.

Don't look at how old he looks, appearing to be in his sixties. In fact, he's only in his twenties, and he hasn't married a wife yet.

Leng Mingyuan walked back and said in a low voice, "If I guess correctly, the abnormality we saw was parasitic on this person, a parasitic type a bit similar to what I had expected but also different, and it is constantly drawing on his blood to nourish itself. It’s not a full body sentient being like the two you saw or fragmented body sentient like that giant face within the wall."

"Parasitic type..."

Xun Xie suddenly looked at the man who killed fish and couldn't help feeling sympathy. This man was parasitized by an abnormality, and his life was destined to be extremely miserable.

Sadly, he doesn't know the truth at all.

Likely thinking of it as some disease while it sucked away his health like a cancerous tumor.

At this moment, Leng Mingyuan suddenly said, "Xiao Xie, go and pick those red blood sacs."

"What?" Xun Xie thought he had misheard but he was wrong.

Leng Mingyuan: "You can see those blood sacs, so you can touch them, and you can naturally pick them."

Xun Xie: "But those blood sacs are snake eyes!"

Leng Mingyuan shook her head: "No, in my eyes, they are snake eyes, but in yours they are not."

Xun Xie hesitated: "Are you sure there won't be any danger?"

Leng Mingyuan nodded: "This abnormality is dangerous to me, but not to you."

Xun Xie pondered for a while, then nodded, she was the expert.

Leng Mingyuan went to chat with the fish-killing man again, while Xun Xie took the opportunity to go around behind the fish-killing man, took a deep breath, no longer hesitated, raised his hand to hold a blood sac, and pulled it gently.

Unexpectedly, it was easily pulled off.

Xun Xie took the blood sac to examine it carefully, and found that the blood sac was crystal clear, soft and smooth, like fudge.

"It should be non-toxic..."

Seeing this, Xun Xie felt a little calmer, and he picked up the blood sacs quickly. He quickly pulled down all the blood sacs in one wave. He harvested a total of twenty-one blood sacs and wrapped them in a handkerchief.

The two quickly returned to the Song Mansion.

Xun Xie spread out the handkerchief, revealing twenty-one blood sacs, and asked Leng Mingyuan, "What are we doing now, and what should we do with these blood sacs?"

Leng Mingyuan raised his hand and touched the handkerchief.

Xun Xie's eyes narrowed, and he saw that Leng Mingyuan's slender hand actually passed through those blood sacs without the slightest contact.

As if those blood sacs were all air!

Leng Mingyuan shook his head and said, "I can't see anything anymore. After the blood sacs were picked, they have changed. I can't see or touch them at all."

Xun Xie was dumbfounded.

The story has been stolen; if detected on Amazon, report the violation.

Leng Mingyuan was silent and said slowly, "You’re in luck, according to my past experience, the blood sacs you picked should be edible and a great tonic."

"Can you eat?"

Xun Xie frowned thoughtfully and said, "Are these blood sacs condensed from the blood essence of the man who killed the fish?"

The more I think about it, the more I think it is.

The fish-killing man was in his twenties, and he had exactly twenty-one blood sacs.

Leng Mingyuan looked right and said: "Maybe, or maybe not. We have limited understanding of anomalies, and various seemingly reasonable explanations are actually just our conjectures, which are based on our cognition of the normal world. It's just an inference, it could be completely false, and we'll never be able to prove it, doing so would require several millennia or centuries of detailed research.

Like you and me, I met another person who could see anomalies and was shocked when he ate something like this then too, in his words disregard logic when dealing with anomalies, or to be more accurate don’t use human logic on them. Things like having desires, thoughts, organs, parents or sources and so on are all possible but not necessary. They are in essence beings beyond our cognition so we must simply deal with them in the manner that works best according to the situation. Ignoring is naturally the supreme method applicable in many cases."

When Xun Xie heard this, he couldn't help but think of the Texas Sharpshooter Fallacy. The story went as follows:

A sharpshooter shoots at the side of a barn and then paints a target around the closest cluster of shots to make it appear as if they were aiming accurately. This fallacy is akin to the two-dimensional creatures' interpretation of the sharpshooter's holes as a deliberate pattern, whereas it's actually random.

An intriguing premise.

A disadvantage of living in such an ancient world was the lack of development and research that would be present in a modern world. Perhaps all the answers would be in a lengthy encyclopedia someday but for now they were ignorant ancients.

Leng Mingyuan patted Xun Xie's shoulder, with a look of envy on her face, and sighed: "Okay, don't think about it. Those blood sacs should help you accumulate more blood energy, which is not a small benefit. Alas, I want to eat but I can't. You lucky duck I only met this type one other time in which I could have got a share and the result was a small piece, these all are for you to enjoy by yourself, enjoy them."

After that, Leng Mingyuan turned around and left gracefully with her swaying hips and perky buttocks, but Xun Xie was too preoccupied to ogle her.

Xun Xie picked up a blood sac, hesitated again and again, did not dare to eat it, worried that it would be poisonous and harmful.

However, only he can see this thing, others can't see it, and if you can't see it, you can't touch it, so that he can't even find a living thing to test for poison.

In the end, Xun Xie made a decision that went against his ancestors and chose to believe in Leng Mingyuan, this little expert. His chewing gum grass was gone, and he just so happened to need a substitute, he also needed a lot of accumulation for the fifth level of blood strength, far more than the previous four levels combined so he wasn’t willing to let go of an opportunity due to ‘chance’ side effects.

"Try to eat one blood sac first."

Xun Xie looked solemn, paused for a while, raised his hand to put the blood sac into his mouth, and clenched his teeth lightly as if to scrape the surface.

Suddenly!

An extremely pure sweet and sour taste exploded on the tip of the tongue, bringing people an electric shock-like extreme enjoyment, an indescribable deliciousness!

This wonderful taste turned into a warm current, and as soon as it entered the abdomen, the warm current continued to spread, washing the limbs and bones.

In an instant, Xun Xie only felt that his entire body was warm, as comfortable as soaking in a hot spring.

Cool!

What is even more unexpected is that this warm current is not fleeting, but continuous and endless. For the rest of the day, Xun Xie is immersed in this extreme enjoyment. Of course, he will not waste a cent of this nourishment, and go all out to refine and absorb every bit and convert it into blood strength.

It felt like clean cleansing water was optimally applied into his inside and sweaty outsides as he exercised, the joy of his strength progressing, and his routine practice of ruling spirit was further enhanced, and his quality of training was enhanced several folds.

On the second day, the warm current continued and showed no sign of abating. He had slept little, just enough that previous night, in fear of it disappearing and him not maximizing its effects, it appears he was worried for nothing.

Xun Xie was overjoyed, refining and absorbing day and night, strengthening his blood energy.

The vibrant blue-gold mercury gas-like fluid with hints of silvery white within circulated endlessly throughout his body before escaping through his pores and acupoints like sweat and steam, yet not dissipating but instead treating his body like its riverbed as it flowed and meandered across.

With the boost of constant nourishment, the mercury seemed to have a bright glow that shone like a bright lantern even within the daylight.

In the pit of his stomach, the energy poured out and spread throughout his body, soaking the organs, muscles, bones, sinews, veins wherever it passed and subtly strengthening them.

The conversion from nourishment to blood energy was much easier like removing the middleman in business and buying directly from the source, digestion was almost completely ignored, almost.

On the third day, it was still the same.

Xun Xie was going crazy with joy, refining and absorbing like crazy.

Based on his own calculations and comparison, a sip of blood sac was equivalent to almost 7 taels of exotic animal meat! This was just a sip and not the entire thing!

It can be seen that the nourishing effect of the blood sac is quite amazing, and it lasts for a long time.

"Awesome!" Xun Xie was a little stunned, he didn't expect the blood sac to be so efficient and effective, even saving some money while at it. Several hundred taels of silver! Compressing the days of digestion as well, for meat took longer to digest.

Under the continuous nourishment and quick digestion, the first blood sac was finally completely refined on the seventh day. Xun Xie kept on eating the second blood sac and continued to replenish it the source.

The Ruling-Spirit Gong was unimpeded by tiredness and fatigue as he was full of energy and the taxing nourishment requirements for martial arts was non-existent it was like he was doing some average moments like stretching.

Xun Xie continued nonstop with his practice, fearful of sitting down, making every moment count…

Ten Fingers Tear the Void…

Day by day...

In the blink of an eye, two months have passed, and the spring flowers are blooming.

On this day, Mr. Song received a secret letter.

It was learned that another granary production area of the Heiyun family was attacked, killing and wounding thousands of people overnight, and destroying large areas of grain fields.

Everyone couldn't help but get nervous, feeling that the storm was about to come.

Xun Xie doesn't care about this; he eats the blood sac and lives like a rich tyrant every day with boundless joy...
