"Wang Ming, something is wrong with Disciple Bai Lingxi!" Shang Rui shouted, catching everyone's attention.

"What happened?" Wang Ming asked with a frown, hurrying over to Bai Lingxi.

"This…" Wang Ming's eyes widened when he saw Bai Lingxi's pale face . He touched her arm and felt that her body was as cold as ice. His shock deepened as he noticed frost forming on her body.

Wang Ming watched as frost began forming on Bai Lingxi's fingers, slowly spreading to her hands. Behind him, he could hear the panicked voices of the girls.

"Hiss, so cold," Shi Yu exclaimed as she touched Bai Lingxi's hand, which was covered in frost. She immediately withdrew her hand due to the intense cold, feeling it was even colder than the most frigid forbidden places she'd heard of.

"Wang Ming, do you know what's going on?" Luo Li asked in a worried tone, her gaze fixed on him.

"Wait a minute," Wang Ming said, frowning as he activated his Soul Eyes to check her stats.

[ Name: Bai Lingxi ]

[ Age: 25 ]

[ Cultivation: 5th stage of Core Formation Realm ]

[ Occupation: Outer Court Disciple of Yang-Yin Sect ]

[ Physiques: ?????? ]

[ Bloodline: None ]

Wang Ming's expression turned startled when he noticed Bai Lingxi's cultivation had dropped from the Golden Core Realm to the Core Formation Realm.

'She didn't suffer any injury or anything…' Wang Ming frowned. The only plausible reason for her cultivation to regress would be some sort of severe injury, yet that wasn't the case. Moreover, the ice forming on her body couldn't have been caused by an injury either.

His eyes narrowed as they landed on the Physique section. Previously, it had shown 'None,' but now it displayed question marks instead.

'System, do you have any idea what's going on?' Wang Ming asked inwardly.

For a few seconds, there was only silence before the system's voice echoed in his mind.n/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om

[System Message: The reason for the unnatural situation of Disciple Bai Lingxi is that she is on the verge of prematurely awakening her physique.]

'Awakening a Physique?' Wang Ming thought, a frown forming on his face. He hadn't known that Bai Lingxi even had an unawakened physique in the first place. His gaze lingered on the last words of the system message.

'System, will there be any problem if she awakens it prematurely?' Wang Ming asked in his mind, his concern evident.

[System Message: Yes. Judging by the situation, to successfully awaken, she requires a much higher cultivation than the Golden Core Realm. Most likely, she will fail, her cultivation will be destroyed, and she will cease to be a cultivator.]

The system's reply caused Wang Ming to immediately panic.

'Do you have a solution?' Wang Ming asked hurriedly.

[System Message: The host needs to fuse a powerful ice bloodline with her to stabilize her situation and ensure the successful awakening of her Physique.]

Wang Ming sighed in relief, but the next moment, his expression turned grim again.

'Where the hell am I going to get a bloodline all of a sudden?' Wang Ming thought, frowning. After a moment of contemplation, his eyes lit up with an idea.

"System, does the system shop have bloodlines?" Wang Ming asked hopefully.

[System Message: Yes, but the user needs to upgrade the shop first. However, since this is an emergency, the bloodline section will be temporarily made available to the user.]

The system announced, and new text appeared before Wang Ming's eyes.

< Ding Dong >

< Temporary Access to Bloodline Shop Section has been granted >

Wang Ming hurriedly opened the system shop and saw a new section had appeared, showcasing numerous bloodlines.

Gulp

Wang Ming swallowed nervously when he saw the prices of the bloodlines. Even the cheapest elemental bloodline cost at least hundreds of millions.

"System, why the hell are the elemental bloodlines so much more expensive compared to the non-elemental ones?" Wang Ming asked.

[System Message: Elemental Bloodlines are expensive because a person possessing such a bloodline will be able to comprehend laws more effectively, and elemental laws are inherently stronger than ordinary ones.]

"System… hmm, can I get a loan?" Wang Ming asked hesitantly.

[System Message: No. The system cannot provide such a high loan of points.]

Wang Ming was about to argue, but suddenly, it was as if he had been struck by lightning—an idea hit him. He quickly checked his storage and pulled out a vial of blood.

"I completely forgot about this!" Wang Ming exclaimed. He had received this blood essence long ago when the system first arrived and had given him a starter pack. It had completely slipped his mind. At that time, he couldn't view its description, but now that he was much stronger, he hurriedly checked its details.

[Primordial Ice Phoenix Blood Essence]

[Type: Bloodline]

[Rank: Divine]

[Description: The bloodline of the strongest Phoenix that existed during the creation of everything and underwent rebirth. Injecting this blood essence grants the user control over the most powerful ice ability, 'Primordial Ice Maker and Manipulation.' However, only the host of the ???? Physique can successfully absorb it.]

"Divine Rank," Wang Ming mumbled as he read the rank of the blood essence. He knew that Divine Rank was the highest ranking of any object, excluding Celestial Rank, which most people didn't even know existed. In the shop, he had seen many bloodlines, but none were Divine. The highest rank available was Mythic, which cost hundreds of billions of points.

"Could this be fate?" Wang Ming thought with a frown. It felt as though the system had given him this bloodline from the start, knowing that Bai Lingxi would need it one day. Moreover, the description mentioned an unknown physique, and Bai Lingxi was currently awakening an unknown physique.

'System, will this work?' Wang Ming asked internally, but silence was his only reply. Even without an answer, he had a gut feeling that this blood essence should be given to Bai Lingxi.

"Wang Ming, do you have a solution?" A worried voice snapped him out of his thoughts. It was Shi Yu, her expression full of concern.

"Yes, I do," Wang Ming said as he brought the vial of blood essence toward Bai Lingxi. To his surprise, the blood inside the vial began to tremble. Under everyone's wide-eyed gaze, it turned into a mist of blood and entered Bai Lingxi's skin.
