"If not by marrying in, just through an ordinary marriage, with your family background and qualifications, it’s impossible for you to marry the legitimate daughter of the Xia family’s main lineage, and naturally, you cannot enter the upper echelons of the Xia family."

"The importance of the Three Talents Formation, as a Formation Master, you should be well aware of. If you do not enter the core of the Xia family, do not hold a high position in the Xia family, you certainly won’t get to learn it."

What Master Xia said was the truth, and he did not hide anything from Mo Hua.

But Mo Hua definitely could not marry in, nor could he marry a woman from the Xia family.

However, in front of Master Xia, he didn’t want to say this directly, so he curiously asked: "What do you mean by the legitimate daughter of the main lineage, are there different levels among them?"

Master Xia glanced at Mo Hua, not knowing whether to answer.

Mo Hua had already turned his head to continue eating crab, appearing indifferent.

Master Xia sighed slightly and said: "A legitimate daughter and a legitimate daughter are not the same, the most important thing is the bloodline."

"Bloodline?"

Mo Hua frowned, and couldn’t help but think of Junior Sister.

"Bloodline... What exactly is it? Is it really that important?" Mo Hua asked Master Xia.

Master Xia was silent for a moment.

In truly top-tier great families, this isn’t much of a secret, but ordinary cultivators know very little about it.

Because those with "bloodline" are often concentrated in Sixth grade ancient families with long legacies and deep foundations, and in some powerful Fifth grade peak families.

Other families, and even ordinary loose cultivators, have a very low probability of possessing "bloodline."

But such bloodlines are bound to be extremely thin.

Moreover, very few cultivators know about bloodline knowledge, and without guidance, without awakening, even if one possesses bloodline power, it is likely to remain unrecognized, living life in a muddled obscurity.

Master Xia hesitated for a moment, then explained it simply to Mo Hua:

"Bloodline, at its root, is the power hidden in the inherited flesh of a cultivator. The source of this power is generally divided into two types: one comes from cultivators with great cultivation, and the other from divine beasts with strong bloodlines."

"A powerful cultivator, practicing specific cultivation techniques or Taoist skills, developing special spiritual power or blood qi, may have it passed down through the bloodline."

"As for divine beasts, they embody the essence of heaven and earth and possess supreme might as innate beasts. Their bloodline can also merge with cultivators and thus be passed down through generations."

"How exactly is it passed down?" Mo Hua asked Master Xia curiously with bright eyes.

"These are ancient clan secrets, not convenient to discuss in detail," said Master Xia.

Mo Hua felt a bit disappointed and asked: "In the great families or ancient families, do the true direct lineage members all have bloodlines?"

"Not necessarily," Master Xia said, "Even in the great families, those who can awaken the bloodline are few."

Mo Hua nodded.

If one possesses a bloodline, even in a truly top-tier family like the Xia family, they are considered exceptional.

This means his Junior Sister is indeed special.

Though he wonders if his Junior Brother has any bloodline.

But his Junior Brother is clumsy and doesn’t seem like someone who can keep secrets, if he really had any bloodline, he’d probably have boasted to Mo Hua already...

Mo Hua frowned and pondered for a moment, suddenly asked solemnly:

"Master Xia, do I seem like someone who has a hidden bloodline?"

Master Xia silently scrutinized Mo Hua for a moment.

Not wanting to discourage Mo Hua, yet also not apt to say it outright, he asked: "Does your bloodline have anything special?"

Mo Hua nodded and said: "Yes, innately weak, and particularly weak..."

Master Xia: "..."

How could this person so righteously present his "disadvantage" as a "specialty"?

He could only be a bit more subtle: "Among loose cultivators, those who can awaken their bloodline are extremely rare, less than one in a million."

The implication being, unless your ancestors’ graves emit green smoke that reaches up to cover the skies, don’t expect it.

Mo Hua thought it over and agreed.

In this world, not every good fortune can fall upon him.

Surely he would know if he had any bloodline power, if there was even a hint of it, he wouldn’t be innately weak to this extent.

However, speaking of bloodlines, Mo Hua thought of a crucial question:

"Master Xia, do cultivators have ’dragon’ bloodlines?"

This kind of question might not yield much if asked to others. But coming from a Sixth grade ancient family and residing in Taoist State, Master Xia should know something.

In a journey of three people, there must be one who can teach me something. Even though he wasn’t familiar with Master Xia, asking some questions shouldn’t be a problem.

Moreover, it was Master Xia who approached him for a chat, he might even want to win Mo Hua over, with this opportunity, might as well ask.

Master Xia did not answer but instead asked: "What do you think?"

Mo Hua pondered for a moment, "The Heavenly Son of the Taoist Court?"

Master Xia nodded, "The lineage of the Heavenly Son of the Taoist Court, from Taoist Monarch to Daoist, has the bloodline of the dragon flowing within."

Mo Hua asked, "Then, is it so that those with ’dragon’ bloodlines are related to the Heavenly Son?"

"Not entirely," said Master Xia, "Dragons also have different ranks, the lineage of the Heavenly Son is that of the True Dragon. Below True Dragon, there are Karma Dragons and Jiao Long."

"Karma Dragons and Jiao Long?"

"Jiao snakes, exotic beasts, undergo tribulations and transform into dragons, becoming Jiao Long; below the True Dragon, throughout the world, there are either innately mutant or inherited dragon blood dragons, known as Karma Dragons."

"Oh..." Mo Hua nodded and then lowered his voice to ask the question he most wanted to know:

"Then... is there something that can ’eat’ dragons?"

Upon hearing this, Master Xia felt his heart skip a beat and his scalp tingle.

Eat dragons?!

This kid really has the guts to ask...

Master Xia maintained a calm demeanor, but his hand holding the wine cup trembled slightly, speaking in a deep voice: "Dragons are divine beasts, residing at the peak of all creatures, there is nothing in this world capable of using dragons as food."
