Ruo senling, spend few hours trying to decode the ancient text. In the end she use her bloodline powers to directly summon the soul of one of the ancestors of the palace.
Shi mingxi and Shi Yixue "...."
Shi Yixue "if you could do that from the start. Why were you struggling with the text" Ruo senling ignore her.
There's no way she's going to admit that she monetarily forget about her ability to summon deads.
The soul that got summoned belong to the guard of this Shrine. Who then guide them to the real shrine.
Yes, the shrine infront of them was actually the gate. The pool and the ruin circle is a decoy set by the ancestors to protect the real shrine.
The real shrine is underground. The ancestors soul simple open the book and found the middle part of the book.
When the pages on book are of same weight on both side, it simple place it back on the shelf and a door opened.
Honestly, the simple way of opening the door of real shrine make everyone twitch for few seconds.
Cause they really had been overthinking from the very start, which is only logical considering that it's precious treasure.
Who would have thought that such rare and precious treasure is guarded by a mere book though it work pretty well.
The wall that opened had a tunnel. They made there way inside the tunnel and after walking for few minutes.
They arrive at the real shrine. Unlike, above where only one pool and ruin altar is. Here multiple pool were spread around the cave.
Some were small pool, some were very big pool and their was only one altar big enought that only one person seat on the altar.
Ruo senling "the soul is saying that, we need to step on altar one by one and it will check our bloodline and guide us to the pool our bloodline needed the most.
In case of no treatment needed. The ruin will guide us to the awakening pool and their are many awakening pool.
Once, we enter the pool. A protective barrier will cover us to prevent any harm. In case of any emergency, the pool may absorb the spiritual energy from the crystal veins underneath the floor to aid the person.
Normally, that is very very rare case so you need to worry about it and it's urging is to get our bloodline checked on altar before entering, to prevent any problem."
Ruo senling, after explaining whatever the soul was saying move again. Her hand made some sign and a beautiful silver lotus made of pure spiritual energy appear.
She then hand over the lotus to the soul and thanks it for helping, while also apologising for distrubing there sleep.
Shi mingxi "what did you hand over at the end" she curiously look at the place where the soul was few seconds ago.
Ruo senling "A spiritual lotus made of pure spiritual energy of me. When summoning a soul you have make an offering to them for distrubing there sleep.
If they refuse to help, you still have to give them the lotus, that's the reason why I don't relay on souls much.
They are not always willing to help and the spiritual lotus use too much of my energy, not worth trade, I only use it as last resort."
Everyone, slowly made there way to the altar while listening to Ruo senling explain the trade between soul and humans.
Shi mingxi "Yixue, you already had your blood awaken. So, are you going to step on the altar."
Shi Yixue "well it don't hurt to check" Ruo senling nodded her head.
Ruo senling "right, it's rare opportunity to get our bloodline thoroughly checked properly. Those people from myriad heritage pavilion can't do this thorough checking."
Shi Yixue "anyways I'm stepping on altar at last. So, who's going first" she look at both Shi mingxi and Ruo senling.
Both had yet to get there blood Awakening ceremony as the ceremony only happens once a person reach fifty.
Shi Yixue, case is of neglence which result into her blood being awaken early though it only give her early start at most.
Ruo senling "me me. I'm older then her so she should let me go." She immediately raise her hand high in air.
Shi mingxi "well the altar is not running away anywhere. So, I don't mind her going first." She lightly titled her head.
Ruo senling "great now I, sound like stupid. Nevermind in stepping ahead. Let's see what the soul had said 'you only need to step on altar it will tell you everything and guide you to the pool' that's right."
The moment Ruo senling step on the altar. The ruins on the altar start glowing softly with red shimmer.
A warm energy spread inside her limps, checking the bloodline running inside her veins with gentle touch.
Once, the check was done. A red thread appear on her index finger, guiding her towards the pool she needed.
As she approached the pool. A voice mysterious, ancient sounded inside her mind speaking with steady voice.
'Witch bloodline, also known as the daughter of moon.
Came with moon root. Inherited water root.
Capability with bloodline 70%.
Body is in good condition.
Bloodline purity is 100%.

Then the voice vanish and she was standing infront of the blood awakening pool. She just need to enter the pool.
She removed her cloth and enter the pool. A protective barrier cover the pool and also isolated her.
Shi mingxi was the next one to step on the altar, the same feeling enter her veins and the red thread appear on her index finger.
'Forest Spirit Bloodline, also known as forest guardian.
Came with wood root. Inherited wood root.
Capability with bloodline is 98%.

Shi mingxi, was guided towards blood purification pool.
Shi Yixue was the last one to step on the Altar, she took experience the same sensation inside her limps.
