Chapter 0874 Master Blood Brewer
The Bloodthirsty Trial has concluded, with results that were completely unexpected.
A mere attendant has turned the tables on the formidable Long Sha Zu, reversing fate to become a Young Ancestor.
The strongest attendant of Young Master Wei, a middle-aged man with a black face, is now in a daze, with confusion and loss in his eyes.
Once, he and Chen Yu were both attendants of Young Master Wei, and he had looked down on Chen Yu, but now, in the blink of an eye, Chen Yu has become a Young Ancestor who he can only look up to.
"Why does such good fortune not fall to me?"
He roared internally with unwillingness, not daring to even look at Chen Yu, fearing that he might bear a grudge.
Even Ice Sun Venerate of the Half-step Condensing Star Realm, after offending Chen Yu, was sentenced to death.
For Chen Yu to kill him, it would be effortless.
Young Master Gu also stared fixedly at Chen Yu. Previously, he believed that, apart from Fu Xue Mei, no one could have killed Blood Scale Venerable in the first round.
But now he feels that Chen Yu is more suspicious than Fu Xue Mei.
Young Master Gu always thought that if not for the first-round death of Blood Scale Venerable, he would have had a great chance of winning the Bloodthirsty Trial.
And now, Chen Yu is very likely the one who killed Blood Scale Venerable and has gained the Ancestor's Blood, becoming the biggest winner.
This made Young Master Gu's heart extremely unbalanced.
Whoosh! Whoosh!
All around, members of the Blood Race hierarchy approached Chen Yu.
"Congratulations, Young Master Yu."
"Young Master Yu, having defeated Long Sha Zu in this trial, your future achievements will surely be extraordinary."
Many from the higher-ups came to offer congratulations.
Although Chen Yu is a newly crowned Young Ancestor, the potential he exhibited was extraordinary.
Moreover, Chen Yu currently doesn't have any supporters; forming good relations with the new Young Ancestor at this time would undoubtedly be a timely help. When Chen Yu achieves great success in the future, they too could reap more rewards.
With a faint smile on his face, Chen Yu responded to the flatteries of many higher-ups.
Killing a Young Ancestor was originally a capital offense.
But now that Chen Yu had become a Young Ancestor, it was no longer a crime; it became an achievement instead.
"Why do I feel like the Blood Race is more suited for me?"
He thought with a smile in his heart.
With his current status, he stood at the pinnacle within the Blood Race, a person no one would dare provoke.
Compared to being a traitor in the Great Yu Realm, this treatment was poles apart.
However, Chen Yu would not forget his true identity and mission.
Though he was doing well within the Blood Race, he ultimately wasn't a creature of the Blood Race, and one day his identity would be exposed. By then, the entire Blood Race wouldn't spare him.
"Young Master Yu, I'm the elder responsible for all sorts of matters in the first ring. Given your new status, you can now move directly into the first ring area."
An old man of the Demon Race, carrying a tortoise shell on his back, walked beside Chen Yu, saying quietly with a smile.
"Where is this Young Ancestor's cave estate?"
Chen Yu asked calmly.
"In the core area of the first ring, Young Master Yu can choose any cave estate at will, and even rebuild if desired."
The tortoise-shell old man smiled.
Regarding his new cave estate, Chen Yu didn't rush to make a decision.
He needed first to observe the terrain of the first ring area to choose the most advantageous position for himself since he had a purpose in infiltrating the Blood Race.
"In three days, this Young Ancestor will move to the first ring area. I'll consult the elder then."
Chen Yu provided his response.
"No problem, the Young Ancestor can move in whenever convenient."
...
With some lighthearted banter from the higher-ups, Chen Yu left there and returned to the second ring area.
Since the Bloodthirsty Trial took place within the first ring area, and the Blood Race of the second ring couldn't freely enter the first ring, the results of the Bloodthirsty Trial hadn't spread throughout the second ring area yet.
First, Chen Yu found Tong Guang, the Bull Horn Alien Race member who had initially ingratiated himself with him.
"Brother Jin, you're back?"
Tong Guang was overjoyed to see Chen Yu.
Times have changed; Chen Yu is now an attendant of Young Master Wei, yet he personally came to visit.
"Do you know the result of the Bloodthirsty Trial?"
Tong Guang carefully observed Chen Yu's expression, noting that he seemed to be in a good mood.
Could it be that in the Bloodthirsty Trial, Young Master Wei had outturned the other two Young Ancestors and achieved victory?
If that were true, Chen Yu would certainly rise to power, and it was fortunate that he had maintained good relations with Chen Yu earlier.
"The Bloodthirsty Trial took an unexpected turn; the ultimate victor is me."
Chen Yu grinned, stating the truth.
Tong Guang was dumbfounded for a few moments, then dryly laughed, "Brother Jin sure knows how to joke, hahaha!"
He thought Chen Yu was joking, but inwardly felt that it wasn't funny at all, yet he still played along, pretending it was amusing.
"I'll soon be entering the first ring area. I wanted to ask if Mr. Tong knows much about it."
Chen Yu didn't elaborate on that issue further, lest it appear as if he were boasting.
"The first ring area!"
Tong Guang looked at Chen Yu with envy.
He believed that it must be Young Master Wei who had won the Bloodthirsty Trial, which explained why Chen Yu was in such a good mood.
And Young Master Wei was truly generous, as he had utilized his authority to allow Chen Yu to move to the first ring area.
Following this, Tong Guang shared his general knowledge about the first ring area.
The first ring area was even larger than the second ring.
Those residing within were all high-ranking members of the Blood Sea Realm, along with some forbidden zones that typically couldn't be entered.
In the very core of the first ring area, resides the highest-ranking power among the Blood Race in the Blood Sea Realm.
Through some understanding, Chen Yu learned that matters related to warfare are primarily led by the Destruction Universe Palace, covering a hundred-mile radius, belonging to a military secret zone.
"If one wishes to steal the relevant intelligence, this is the place to start."
Chen Yu thought to himself.
Besides, if he wants to understand the connection between the mystical heart and the Blood Race, he probably has to go to Blood Saint Island.
Blood Saint Island is located at the core of the first ring area and is the most secretive place in the entire Blood Sea Realm.
Regarding this place, Tong Guang doesn't know much either.
After gathering the intelligence, Chen Yu took his leave.
Back at his cave mansion in the second ring, after brief tidying, he prepared to head to the area within the first ring for a field investigation.
He hadn't walked far when Chen Yu suddenly remembered that before participating in the trial, he had submitted a bottle of Blood Brew and didn't yet know how many Battle Merit Points it could be exchanged for.
So, he slightly altered his route and headed to the Blood Vault.
When Chen Yu arrived, the attendants here immediately recognized: "Master Jin, please come in, Master Zheng has been waiting for you here for a long time."
"Master Zheng is waiting for me?"
Chen Yu was slightly puzzled, as he did not know this so-called Master Zheng.
Inside the Blood Vault, there were many rooms and attics of various sizes. It was extremely quiet here, with everything running orderly.
"This way, please."
The attendant led Chen Yu, passing through a long distance, to a relatively spacious and luxurious palace.
Inside, many members of the Blood Race had already gathered, all surrounding an elegant woman dressed in a red dress.
"Master Zheng, please appraise my Blood Brew."
A Blood Race member took out a jade bottle and handed it up.
The elegant red-clothed woman lightly dipped a drop, tasted it slightly, and coldly said, "Jinyuan, your Blood Brew technique has made no progress at all. Don't bother bringing me such things in the future!"
The scolded Blood Race member nodded with utmost respect, "Yes, yes!"
"Who is this Master Zheng? Why is she looking for me?"
Chen Yu inquired through transmission to the attendant.
"This Master Zheng is a master-level Blood Brewing Master in the Blood Sea Realm. The Blood Brew she crafts can be exchanged for five hundred Battle Merit Points per tael. Many high-level individuals within the first ring are fond of her Blood Brew and the Master Zheng herself."
The attendant briefly explained and then whispered, "Master Zheng, Jin Yudong is here."
In the face of a master-level Blood Brewing Master, other Blood Brewing Masters do not count as true masters.
"Oh? Jin Yudong is here?"
Master Zheng lifted her head, and the crowd around her immediately parted, allowing Master Zheng's gaze to fall smoothly on Chen Yu.
At the same time, the other Blood Brewing Masters also looked towards Chen Yu, carefully observing him.
They all knew that Master Zheng had stayed here for so long entirely to wait for one person.
"Are you Jin Yudong?"
Master Zheng's beautiful eyes carefully examined Chen Yu.
Originally, she thought that someone who could brew Blood Brew of such calibre must be an elderly Blood Brewing Master.
Moreover, the fact that he went to participate in the Bloodthirsty Trial means among the younger generation of the Blood Race, it would be rare to find someone possessing such cultivation strength and profound brewing skills.
For this reason, Master Zheng was somewhat astonished when she saw Chen Yu, questioning his identity.
"Indeed, what matters does Master Zheng seek me for?"
Chen Yu smiled faintly and asked.
"I tasted your Blood Brew and think you are a talent with the potential for promotion to Master Blood Brewer. Now I'm giving you an opportunity: from now on, work with me, and I guarantee that within twenty years, you will stand at the position of a master-level Blood Brewer."
Master Zheng spoke confidently and with extreme composure.
All the surrounding Blood Brewing Masters, upon hearing these words, widened their eyes in disbelief.
To work with Master Zheng means seeing her every day, and this is also an opportunity to advance to the master-level Blood Brewer position.
All the Blood Brewing Masters present were extremely tempted.
At this moment, as they looked at Chen Yu, their eyes were full of envy and resentment.
Why doesn't such a golden opportunity fall to them?
"I don't need this opportunity, let it go to other Blood Brewing Masters."
Chen Yu smiled, directly refusing.
Though the status of a Blood Brewer is noble among the Blood Race, it was the path Chen Yu intended to take before.
But now, his identity as the Young Ancestor surpasses that of a Blood Brewer.
For example, now he can choose a cave mansion freely in the first ring area without paying Battle Merit Points.
"You refused?"
Master Zheng's expression froze slightly, her brows knitted, asking in a deep voice.
She suspected if she heard wrong, or if Chen Yu didn't grasp what she said; otherwise, how could her words be met with a refusal?
"Ungrateful, Master Zheng values you so much, yet you refused."
"Truly foolish."
Many Blood Brewing Masters sneered and mocked disdainfully.
But secretly, they were delighted to see this scene. With Chen Yu's refusal of Master's invitation, there might be a chance for them to be chosen by Master Zheng.
"I do not wish to be a Blood Brewer now, nor do I intend to brew Blood Brew in the future."
Chen Yu added another sentence.
Being a Bloodline Young Ancestor, why bother being a Blood Brewer or brewing Blood Brew?
However, upon hearing these words, Master Zheng struggled to maintain her composure internally.
With such profound brewing craftsmanship, Chen Yu, at this moment, claimed he would not brew anymore, making it sound as if being a Blood Brewer was an insignificant profession.
"What if I insist that you work for me?"
Master Zheng stood up, exuding a powerful aura of authority like an unrivaled queen, making one dare not look directly but only comply.
