Chapter 2242

Quintina’s voice called out to him once more.

Yoan returned to his senses. He looked at Quintina troubledly and said, “A-Actually, I’ve come here to

ask for a drop of Ancient Blood.”

“Ancient Blood?” Quintina stood up abruptly.

She looked at Yoan with a strange expression and said, “Sir Yoan, I’m afraid there’s a bit you. don’t

know about the Ancient Blood. When our clan’s ancestor was on the verge of death, he used his entire

life’s cultivation to create the Ancient Blood. It’s only beneficial to our clan’s. disciples. If you’re not a

disciple of our clan, the Ancient Blood is useless to you. The Ancient Blood’s power is exceedingly

savage. You’ll explode and die instantly if you’re not a disciple of our clan.”

James interjected. “It can’t be that bad, right?”

Hearing this, Quintina glanced at James.

Yoan quickly interrupted, “I’m sorry my disciple couldn’t control his mouth. Please forgive him.”

Quintina gently waved her hand. She could not be bothered arguing with James, but since she had

never seen him before, she asked out of curiosity, “Is he a newly recruited disciple of yours?”

Yoan replied, “Yeah. He’s a disciple that has been recently accepted into our sect. Since the Grand

Tournament is soon upon us, I wanted to ask for a drop of Ancient Blood to help him improve his rank

to participate in the tournament.”

Yoan replied honestly without hiding his intention.

“I’m afraid I’ll have to disappoint you.”

Quintina sat down and said softly, “Aside from the Ancient Blood being our clan’s treasure, there isn’t

much that remains from ancient times. Only the most outstanding disciples in our clan are permitted to

consume it, let alone outsiders.”

“Moreover, your disciple won’t be able to absorb and refine the Ancient Blood even if I allow him to

have it. I’m worried he’ll most likely explode and die instantly after consuming it.”

Yoan did not know much about the Ancient Blood.

However, Quintina’s arguments were sound.

Disappointment filled his wrinkled face.

Their trip to the Ancient Clan was in vain.

Seemingly seeing through Yoan’s disappointment, Quintina smiled and said, “Well…”

Yoan showed slight anticipation as he asked, “Well, what?”

Quintina asked, “Do you know why I returned to the Ancient Clan?”

Yoan shook his head in response.

Quintina explained, “There’s a miraculous place in the Ancient Clan called the Pagoda of Flames. It’s

an underground tower with eighteen floors. The Pagoda of Flames contains extremely powerful energy,

and it’s opened to visitors every fifty years.

“There are only ten people allowed to enter each time.

“A competition will be held to compete over a chance to enter the Pagoda of Flames. Even though I’m

the clan leader’s daughter, I’ll still have to enter and defeat other disciples for the opportunity to enter

the Pagoda of Flames.”

While speaking, she glanced at James.

A smile formed on her face, then she said, “Since you’re going to be participating in the Grand

Tournament, you must be pretty strong. I can give you permission to participate in our clan’s

competition. If you can rank amongst the top ten, you’ll obtain the chance to enter the Pagoda of

Flames to cultivate. Being able to enter the Pagoda of Flames to cultivate is almost. equivalent to

consuming the Ancient Blood.”

Hearing this, Yoan asked ecstatically, “Really?”

Quintina replied, “Of course. I would never lie to you, Sir Yoan. I returned to my clan to prove my worth

to enter the Pagoda of Flames. I’d like to cultivate within the Pagoda of Flames for some time before

participating in the Grand Tournament.”

After speaking, she turned to James again.

“I’ve already given you the opportunity. Whether you can seize it or not depends on your own

capabilities.”

James knew the Ancient Clan was the most powerful clan in the world. Thus, their disciples. were

undoubtedly remarkable.

“Are there any restrictions on the people participating in the competition?” asked James.

Quintina replied, “The Pagoda of Flames opens only once every fifty years. Disciples that are under the

age of fifty are all eligible to participate in the competition.”

Hearing this, James heaved a sigh of relief.

There were no cultivators that posed a threat to him under the age of 50.

“Thank you, Ms. Quintina. Since you’ve permitted me to participate in this competition, I’ll do my best to

end up in the top ten and ensure I don’t embarrass you,” James promised with a resolution

“Ha.” Quintina chuckled and said, “I merely permitted you to participate because of Sir Yoan. Whether

or not you successfully earn the chance to enter the Pagoda of Flames and cultivate there will depend

on your own efforts.”

After she finished speaking, tina stood up and said, “Sir Yoan, although I’ve arbitrarily decidedon this

matter, I’ll still have to report it to our clan’s elders. I’ll send someone to lead you to a room to stay in for

the time being. Meanwhile, I’ll report this matter to my elders and get back to you.”

After speaking, Quintina left.

Immediately afterward, several servants walked in and led Yoan and James out of the reception hall.
