Chapter 2189: Extraction

Kentucky then explained his bloodline and how it was sealed so that others wouldn't find him. "That's basically how it went."

Werin felt a little disappointed that he couldn't use the blood himself. "Are you sure you don't want to sell it to me? I mean, you were already intending to completely unseal it anyway, right? Besides, I told you it can help strengthen one's bloodline, but you absolutely don't need this effect. Your Regal Bloodline is definitely above it in purity."

"Indeed, but it can definitely help to accelerate the unsealing. I was indeed going to unseal it by myself, but I have no guarantees that I will do it in time. Even if this blood can't strengthen my own, it can definitely weaken the seal," Kentucky explained.

In the end, Werin could only agree. "Alright then."

Kentucky then put the feather away. "Well, in that case, why don't you use some of my Regal Bloodline? I'm sure it should have a great effect on your own bloodline."

Werin's eyes immediately lit up. "Really?!"

"Sure, why not?" Kentucky didn't mind. "It's just some blood, no big deal."

"Ah!" It was then that Werin noticed he made a mistake. "Sorry, I should have explained it better. Even though what you have there is blood, it is not just normal blood. If it was that simple, the Regal Demon Beasts would sell their bloodlines everywhere and get rich. That's not the case. What you have there is Senior Jeskli-Go's Bloodline Essence."

"Bloodline essence?" Kentucky had never heard of that.

Werin understood that Kentucky didn't know about it and continued to explain. "Simply put, your bloodline power comes from nothing else other than your bloodline essence. It runs through your entire body, but the concentration is just a fraction of your normal blood. The worst part is that every drop of it is extremely hard to be replenished. That's why I said you were lucky. Senior Jeskli-Go gave you an entire drop of his Bloodline Essence."

Werin then accessed his own Pocket Dimensional Realm and brought out a jade slip before throwing it to Kentucky.

Kentucky caught it with his Divine Energy and read the contents inside. There, it was described how he could separate his Bloodline Essence from his own normal bloodline. "This..."

Turns out that the process would weaken the user of that technique quite a lot. Not to mention that depending on the amount extracted, the Demon Beast might never be able to recover everything.

Werin sighed as he looked at Kentucky's expression. "If I'm not wrong, Senior Jeskli-Go will probably take over a hundred years to recover this drop he gave to you. At least that shows how you are a lot more important to him than he pretended you to be."

However, as Kentucky read through the jade slip again and again, he noticed that although it was a complicated method, it wasn't really a problem for him. "Hmm..."

He then used his Divine Energy to open a very small cut on his wing. Right after, blood with a similar color to the blood on the quil began to come out little by little.

Iiiiiiooooooohhhhhh...

Kentucky couldn't help but feel his body growing weak and lethargic.

Werin was shocked by that scene. "What are you doing?! Didn't I tell you it will make you weaker?! Quick, absorb it back into your body!"

Kentucky ignored him and continued until he got one drop of his Bloodline Essence. "Holy shit, this makes me feel like throwing up." He could tell that although the blood type was similar, his blood differed from Jeskli-Go's.

There were two main points. First, Kentucky's blood had nowhere near the same amount of bloodline energy as Jeskli-Go. Kentucky knew that it was basically their difference in cultivation. It was also this energy that he was going to use to further unseal his own Regal Bloodline.

The second point was obviously the fact he was a Regal Minokawa while Jeskli-Go wasn't. It was this point that would help strengthen other Minokawas' bloodline if he gave it away.

Kentucky then held that drop of blood of his in mid-air and focused on himself. Light Element began to gather around him, reaching his entire body.

'Life Style, Second Form, Instant Recovery!'

Kentucky's body seemed to boil for a moment as his marrows worked at a frenetic pace. Kentucky was forced to take out one of Roan's nutrient pills, which his stomach processed and sent into his marrow in a flash. Nonetheless, Kentucky reached its objective. That drop of Regal Minokawa Bloodline only took him a minute to be completely recovered. "Phew... As I thought. Having my Bloodline Essence Removed is the same as damaging my body. However, it is still physical damage regardless of how you view it. If it is physical damage, Rean's Instant Recovery can definitely heal it."

Werin's eyes almost popped out of their sockets. He could feel how Kentucky's bloodline aura diminished with the extraction of his bloodline essence just for it to recover in a moment with that skill. "Impossible! Since when was Bloodline Essence this easy to replenish?!"

"Easy?" Kentucky shook his head. "Do you know how terrible it feels to extract it? It's not easy at all. Besides, I had to use my skill for an entire minute to get it back." Kentucky thought about how Rean's skill usually could heal physical damage in just a few seconds, showing how much the extraction of bloodline essence hurt one's body.

A few of Werin's veins popped as he felt the urge to give Kentucky a beating. Was that the kind of situation he considered complicated? Then what about Werin himself? What about Jeskli-Go? Yet, just as he was about to say something, that same drop of Regal Minokawa Bloodline Essence floated in front of him. "This..."

"Just take it," said Kentucky. "However, I hope you will give it your all when we go to the Floating Islands of Time. You better use it well because there is no way in hell I will do something like this again. It feels absolutely horrid to extract my Bloodline Essence."

Werin gulped as he caught it with his Divine Energy. He completely forgot Kentucky's previous remarks as that treasure in front of him took all his attention. "T-Thanks..."
