Ron was planning within his heart.
According to the results of the previous Star Disc Divination, his major breakthrough in bloodline is expected to occur in a few months at the Quicksand Lands.
To achieve the best effect in this breakthrough, enhancing the "Bloodline Shaping" skills to the Master Level is absolutely essential.
Now it seems that his progress is right on track.
With the "Bloodline Shaping" skills reaching the Master Level, and after breaking through to Moon Level, the success rate of undergoing bloodline transformation at the Quicksand Lands will significantly increase.
"Mother, with your help, the ’Ink’ has already acquired some Chaos Traits..."
Thinking about this, he turned and explained in detail to Nari the significance of this transformation:
"Previously, I didn’t dare attempt some extreme bloodline fusions, but now I can perform preliminary experiments through ’Ink’. Let it take the risk first, and once the harmonization is successful, I will extract the product for my use."
"This indeed sounds valuable, but..."
Nari’s tentacle lightly tapped the surface of "Ink", with a hint of concern in her eyes:
"Mother can sense that because these traits originate from me, they are highly dependent on the Abyss environment.
Once outside the radiation range of the Abyss’s power, these traits may significantly diminish, and if forced into a clash with overly conflicting bloodlines..."
"You’re right."
Ron’s eyes brightened; this was a point he hadn’t considered:
"However, even with environmental limitations, the value of this technique remains immense.
At least in the Abyss, I can attempt some bloodline combinations I previously wouldn’t even dare dream of."
In his mind, he already began conceptualizing various bold experimental plans.
In the subsequent time, Ron devoted himself wholeheartedly to bloodline fusion experiments.
With ’Ink,’ imbued with Chaos harmonization traits, as a mediator, he started boldly attempting various extreme bloodline combinations.
The bloodline storage facility Nari built for him almost collected every common and relatively rare bloodline material.
The conditions for conducting bloodline experiments here were even more adequate than the observation stations.
For the first experiment, Ron chose the most basic combination.
The agility enhancement of the Abyss Hound and the protective hardening of the Stone Skin Lizard.
Though these bloodline abilities weren’t particularly strong, the conflict between them was enough to make many Bloodline Modulators shy away.
Agility enhancement demands muscle fiber flexibility, whereas protective hardening makes the skin’s keratinized layer as hard as a rock.
With both present, it typically leads to severe disarray in bodily functions.
"Ink, are you ready?"
Ron gently caressed the slime monster’s surface, which was as smooth as silk:
"This fusion may be quite painful. If you feel you can’t bear it, immediately tell me through the mental connection."
Though the slime monster couldn’t speak, the thoughts conveyed through the bond they formed were resolute and loyal.
"Good, now we begin the first step—extraction of bloodline essence."
Ron took out two crystal bottles containing different blood samples.
The Abyss Hound’s blood on the left was dark red, occasionally flashing with silver specks, a distinctive feature of the speed bloodline.
On the right, the Stone Skin Lizard’s blood was more viscous, appearing ink-green.
"The key to separation lies in frequency resonance..."
He operated while continuously analyzing the principle in his mind:
"Every bloodline has its unique energy frequency, and through Spiritual Power guidance, useful components can be separated from the blood."
Delicate Spiritual Power threads performed extremely complex operations with surgical precision, under a view akin to a microscope.
The agility factor of the Abyss Hound was peeled off bit by bit, finally condensing into a droplet of silver essence like mercury.
The protective factor of the Stone Skin Lizard was more stubborn, requiring more patience to extract it entirely.
The entire separation process lasted nearly two hours.
When two distinct drops of bloodline essence hovered in the air, Ron felt his intense concentration making him slightly dizzy:
"The purity of essence reached 92%... better than I anticipated."
He carefully observed the internal structure of the two drops of essence, satisfaction swept over him like a tide:
"Now comes the most critical step—fusion."
Nari quietly observed from the side.
Dozens of eyes recorded every detail of the entire process from different angles.
"His technique has become much more skilled compared to last time... truly my child."
She silently evaluated in her heart.
"Ink, now it’s your turn."
Ron carefully took the slime monster out of the culture container and placed it in the center of the experimental platform.
The transformed "Ink" emitted a deep light akin to a starry sky, with silver lines on its surface pulsating rhythmically.
The first drop of agility essence was slowly injected into the body of "Ink."
The moment of contact, the slime monster’s body rolled violently like boiling liquid.
The original rhythmic pulsations became chaotic, the surface’s star points began to flash madly.
Through the mental connection, Ron could clearly sense the immense pain "Ink" was enduring.
It was the agony of forcibly rewriting the essence of bloodline, with every cell experiencing tearing-like suffering.
Nari’s tentacle subtly reached towards "Ink," emitting weak stabilizing fluctuations.
"Mother is helping to stabilize the fusion environment... Thank you."
Ron looked gratefully at Nari, then refocused on the experiment.
The injection of the second drop of protective essence was even more challenging.
Two completely different bloodline traits sparked intense conflict within the body of "Ink."
