Chapter 438: Secret Technique Blood Clone

"Hehe~" Fang Lie smiled slightly. "Mainly came to check on you. Secondarily, I’ve got some things to ask your opinion about."

Fang Lie then explained his plan to purchase the Heavenly Eye while worrying about potential traps.

The Ancient Heroic Soul listened carefully before chuckling. "Simple matter. I possess a unique secret technique called blood clone that’ll solve this neatly!"

Without wasting words, the Ancient Heroic Soul transmitted the divine skill through divine sense, emphasizing its pros and cons.

After absorbing the teachings, Fang Lie entered meditative enlightenment. When he finally awoke, he exclaimed, "Incredible technique! With this, no trap worries me. Feels like it could merge with another skill of mine… Need to start closed-door training immediately!"

He bowed and rushed home to begin seclusion.

In his secret room, Fang Lie contacted Bird Bro through Benevolence Token: "Check out this blood clone technique!"

"No need," the old bird cackled. "I rebuilt that Ancient Heroic Soul into a mechanical puppet when Mo Sect found him. Know all his tricks. Blood clone’s his signature move – teaching you shows he’s practically worshipping you!"

"It’s truly formidable!" Fang Lie agreed.

The technique used a drop of Third Eye Blood to create clones sharing the original’s senses, appearance, aura, and ability to wield life-bound treasures. Though weaker (only 10% strength), they could cultivate indefinitely unless destroyed.

Normal cultivators needed years to recover Third Eye Blood, but Fang Lie’s Nirvana Healing Technique provided unlimited supply. Still, each clone took days to create.

"Perfect for sending clones to auctions," Fang Lie mused. "Even if destroyed, I’d learn who ambushed me."

But his real interest sparked elsewhere: "Bird Bro, what if we combine this with Nirvana Fire Seed? The Seed contains full Magic reserves – could make full-strength clones!"

The old bird paused, then crowed: "Brilliant! Third Eye Blood and Fire Seed both use bloodline power – they might fuse! Let’s experiment!"

Guided by the millennia-old item spirit, Fang Lie failed repeatedly before succeeding after ten days. The resulting blood bead – mung bean-sized, gem-like – erupted into flames when activated, birthing a naked Fang Lie duplicate.

A quick fire spell conjured Daoist robes as Fang Lie marveled at dual awareness. "Control feels seamless! They can even cultivate!"

"Don’t get cocky," Bird Bro squawked. "More clones mean worse control. Plus, real power comes from Ninth-Rank treasures and Four Great Outer Paths – your naked clones can’t match proper cultivators."

Undeterred, Fang Lie grinned: "Then I’ll get Eighth-rank gear for every clone! How best to afford this?"

"Steal it," the old bird deadpanned. "Hide clone beads in ‘treasures’, sell them to sects. When they store your ‘treasure’ in their vaults…"

"…I activate the clones inside!" Fang Lie completed, eyes gleaming. "The auction’s perfect! We’ll make bait treasures – too valuable but useless, forcing them into Sect Treasure Vaults…"

"Exactly," Bird Bro clacked his beak. "Now let’s plot properly."
