Return of the Immortal Emperor Daddy novel Chapter 762

Chapter 762: Chapter 765: A somersault, 100,000 miles [Fifth update]

"I was rejected?" In the secret chamber, Meng Xue was dumbfounded. How could this be happening? What nonsense is this young man spouting? Was I confessing my feelings? I was clearly trying to scare him off, so what is there to reject? But as she came to her senses, Meng Xue grew furious. Yet, she still dared not leave the secret chamber, afraid that its secrets would be discovered.

Blood Refiners were always looked down upon because none had ever succeeded. Some even said that only daydreamers pursued this path.

"Come out." Wu Tian’s Spiritual Sense enveloped the entire shrine, making him aware of every hidden mechanism inside. He reached out and grasped. A powerful suction force appeared in the Void, pulling the hidden door in the wall wide open. Meng Xue was dragged out from within and deposited right in front of him.

Meng Xue was startled, her pretty face filled with panic.

"Did I frighten you?" Wu Tian asked with amusement.

"I... I’m not scared of you! I... I’m very brave," Meng Xue stammered through clenched teeth, putting on a brave front.

Wu Tian chuckled and got straight to the point. "I came here knowing full well what this place is. I’ll be direct: I want books on Blood Refinement. I assume that predecessors who achieved something in this field must have left behind written works, correct?"

In the history of Blood Refiners, no one had ever succeeded besides a single woman. However, others had still gained some experience along the way. Since the field had yet to truly develop, it hadn’t become stagnant, and the predecessors had generously recorded their findings in books.

But Meng Xue snorted, "There are none." She was still furious about what Wu Tian had just done. How dare he bully a girl like me and then ask for information? No way!

"None?" Wu Tian watched the shifting expressions on her face, unable to understand what was wrong with her. He could only say, "Girls shouldn’t lie. You’ll turn ugly."

What? Is he threatening me? Saying I’ll become ugly? That’s going too far! Unaware of Wu Tian’s distinct lack of emotional intelligence, Meng Xue crossed her arms over her chest, her gaze turning icy cold.

Wu Tian had no idea what was wrong with her. After pondering for a moment, an idea finally sparked in his mind. He then said, "Miss, you seem to have a few days like this every month. It looks like I’ve come at the wrong time."

"What on earth do you mean?" Meng Xue exploded. I won’t tell you about the books from the Blood Refiner predecessors because it’s against the rules! First, you say I’ll turn ugly, and now you’re suggesting it’s my time of the month? What is wrong with this man?

Wu Tian was taken aback by her terrible mood. Even if it is that time of the month, her temper shouldn’t be *this* bad. Could it be... menopause? He considered the possibility, giving Meng Xue another glance. A teenage girl... menopause already? How pitiful! He couldn’t help but sigh.

If Meng Xue knew what Wu Tian was thinking, she would have died of pure rage. Menopause? *You’re* the one going through menopause! I’m only eighteen!

After a moment’s thought, Wu Tian tried a different approach. "How about you call a Blood Refiner out? I’d like to have a discussion with them."

Wu Tian wasn’t a genius who could deduce everything from a single clue, but he was adept at learning and immediately applying new knowledge. By conversing with a Blood Refiner to learn their nascent Path of Blood Refinement, then cross-referencing that with the books from Doushuai Temple in the Heavenly Emperor’s Treasure House, it was highly likely he could figure out the true Art of Blood Refinement.

"Discuss with a Blood Refiner?" Meng Xue shook her head again. "Sir, please don’t make things difficult for me, alright? Whether you want to read our books or talk with someone, you first have to prove that you’re a Blood Refiner, don’t you?"

"Prove I’m a Blood Refiner?" Wu Tian was puzzled for a moment before it dawned on him. Ah, of course. Blood Refiners are still in the experimental stage. Having never known anything but failure, they’ve developed an inferiority complex and will only discuss their work with their own kind. Talking to outsiders? They wouldn’t know what to say.

"I... I suppose I am a Blood Refiner," Wu Tian said. "Of course, I haven’t succeeded either." I’ve never actually studied the Art of Blood Refinement, but then again, nobody really knows it anyway. Everyone’s knowledge is incomplete and still in the research phase. I can just adapt the Art of Alchemy a bit, and it should be passable. Since nobody has ever succeeded, no one is in a position to question anyone else.

"You’re a Blood Refiner?" Meng Xue didn’t believe him in the slightest. Who are most Blood Refiners? They’re middle-aged people who, having lost all hope in the Martial Path, decide to walk the Path of Blood Refinement and dedicate their lives to studying it. But Wu Tian? He’s too young! At his age, he still has so much potential. How could he possibly be researching the Path of Blood Refinement?

Looking at Wu Tian, Meng Xue snorted. "Fine, fine. There’s an assessment held underground here. I’ll take you down." So you want to pretend to be a Blood Refiner? Fine! I’ll take you to the assessment and expose you for the fraud you are! We’ll see if you still have the nerve to be so arrogant then! We’ll see if you still dare to bully me!
