"M-My blood! I must test my bloodline!" the Grand Elder stammered, quickly seizing the Golden Phoenix Needle after snapping out of his daze.
Moments later, his eyes widened, and he exclaimed with unrestrained joy, "90.9 percent! My bloodline purity has surpassed ninety percent! This is a miracle!"
Stirred by his words, the other elders hastily tested themselves as well. Sure enough, nearly all of them discovered that their bloodline purity had risen by four to five percent.
"My lord! With only a single drop of your blood, our bloodlines have undergone unimaginable growth! And to think the Celestial Emperor only offered us no more than three percent!" one of them exclaimed.
Yet even in their excitement, unease gnawed at their hearts, as the results seemed almost too good to be true.
"Immortal Monarch, forgive my boldness, but… what kind of drawbacks should we expect from this?" someone finally asked, instantly silencing the place.
