Chapter 464 - 464 261 Blood is the Currency of the Soul (4300)_1

Chapter 464: 261 Blood is the Currency of the Soul (4300)_1 Chapter 464: 261 Blood is the Currency of the Soul (4300)_1 It seemed that the Cupan Magic Box was somehow connected with the dark creatures known as Dead Blood. However, as Casio continued reading, he found out that this was just a convenient name given by Dead Blood.

It could also be called Immortal Blood or Evolutionary Blood.

Or even The Blood of the Strong.

According to the records, the Cupan Magic Box contained a powerful yet unknown force. Some viewed it as a harbinger of catastrophes, while others considered it a miraculous treasure. The Blood Spirit Association knew much more about it, involving many secretive knowledge.

Firstly, the Cupan Magic Box indeed emitted an aura of disaster, bringing intense misfortunes to its owner. The user’s luck would deteriorate significantly over time, causing various life-threatening situations. It sounded quite mysterious, but the circumstances indeed reflected this.

Secondly, the Cupan Magic Box was a special kind of treasure among the ancient relics, suspected to be the tool of a super ancient civilization. It indeed sealed something within, which seemed to be a book in appearance.

Of course, these were not the crucial points. The Blood Spirit Association craved for the Cupan Magic Box mainly for the Immortal Blood.

Somehow, they obtained the true usage of the Cupan Magic Box, and based on this, they sought to seize the magic box displayed in the Gold Antique Exhibition. This was a rectangular box made of an unknown material, about the size of an adult’s palm.

It appeared to be gold but was not, and appeared to be wood but indeed was not. Various types of attacks had no effect on it. Its surface was smooth with not a single crevice.

To use it was quite simple. The user just needed to touch the Cupan Magic Box with one hand, and then drip fresh blood onto the top of the box. The blood would mysteriously penetrate through the entire box, seeping out from the bottom, and regather into a single drop of blood.

And this drop of blood was the so-called Immortal Blood.

This involved a concept within mysticism.

“Blood is the currency of the soul…”

The exchange of blood is the exchange of souls.

The theft of blood is the theft of souls.

Taking a person’s blood was akin to taking away part of their soul. Casio understood this to some extent.

Because the Qi, a product when a fighter’s essence, energy, and spirit become one, is dispersed throughout the body when not gathered, mainly divided into two parts.

The calm part resided in the abdomen and the brain.

The active part circulated all around the body with the blood.

In terms of form, Qi is closest to the soul and spirit, much like how the Ghost Knife, Garoro, could recognize Feng Liusi. In some sense, it could represent a fighter’s soul and identity.

Perhaps every ordinary human body flows with this invisible Qi of essence, energy, and spirit, but it’s so weak that it’s barely detectable.

According to the Blood Spirit Association’s records, a person’s blood carried their information and was a faint fragment of their soul. Ordinary human blood naturally held nothing of significance, but what about the blood of a strong individual?

Through the transformation and refinement of the Cupan Magic Box, the information in the blood would be brought together and become apparent. The original owner’s personality, memory shards, desires, and even skills, secret techniques, and experiences could be partly obtained from it and anyone could attempt to absorb it!

In theory, given enough blood, the Cupan Magic Box could quickly cultivate a group of powerful individuals. It could even be concentrated on one person to rapidly mold a master.

Allowing him to acquire various secret techniques, experiences, and knowledge abilities.

Of course, this comes with a hefty price.

Firstly, for the owner of the Cupan Magic Box, every usage of the magic box would cause his luck to decrease for a short period.

Secondly, for the individual absorbing the Immortal Blood, they would also be affected by the disaster after the absorption process. As the number of absorption attempts increases, the Immortal Blood becomes more valuable and the disaster that they encounter intensifies. In addition to that, the Immortal Blood itself is not without a cost, resembling the side effect of organ transplant rejection.

The conflict between the human body and foreign substances would result in some individuals with strong repulsion finding it difficult to absorb the Immortal Blood. Also, it would cause those with weak-willed to be easily influenced by the blood’s original owner.

Personality changes, experiencing illusions, mental disorders, and so on…

In essence, the Cupan Magic Box was a treasure with clear pros and cons. The benefits were huge, but so were the side effects.

However, this would only apply to humans.

What if it was a dark creature like Dead Blood?

After absorption their luck falls and danger ascends, Dead Blood has the ability to regenerate at a fast pace, is immortal, and has strong vitality.

Influenced by the blood’s original owner? Dead Blood is a creature of ultimate darkness and evil, assuming the role of a predator in front of humans.

In addition, they have found a source of strong blood. Dead Blood has always been hunting constantly for strong bodies.

Just like the Sect Destruction War of the Wind Elephant Gate in the past.

If they had the Cupan Magic Box at that time and refined all the blood from the corpses on the spot, they probably would have obtained a large amount of skills, secret techniques, and battle experience. With some adaptation, they could control the original owner’s body. In terms of Secret Martial Arts alone, they could display most of its original strength.

Added with the abilities that Dead Blood has…

No wonder the Blood Spirit Association has a particular fondness for the Cupan Magic Box. If the records are accurate, they would definitely stop at nothing to acquire it. The compatibility between the two could not be more perfect.

Casio closed the booklet, deciding to focus more on this Cupan Magic Box in the future. Whatever the Blood Spirit Association wanted, Casio would not let them have it. Besides, the Cupan Magic Box was also a product of the ancient relics, within their target range.

There was absolutely no reason to give it to others.
