1390 Fusion

Jian Ai accepted Ye Liushang’s suggestion and injected a dose of phoenix blood into her body.

Although Ye Liushang had clearly explained that the phoenix blood was not real blood, it was still extracted from Ye Liushang’s body in front of everyone. Moreover, its color and form did not differ from blood.

However, no one wanted to care what this phoenix blood was. What made everyone more concerned was whether this thing could unleash the effect Ye Liushang had expected after entering Jian Ai’s body.

A week had passed, and Jian Ai was protected like a rare animal. Everyone carefully observed her, afraid that she would have a rejection reaction to the phoenix blood.

Fortunately, what everyone was worried about did not happen. As usual, Jian Ai felt nothing abnormal physically or psychologically.

However, it was also because of this that Jian Ai couldn’t help but mutter in her heart. This was because this phoenix blood didn’t seem to have a dangerous reaction, but it didn’t show any effect.

It was as if… nothing had happened.

“Is this normal?”

In the living room, Jian Ai finally couldn’t help but ask, “I can’t feel the power of the phoenix blood. It’s as if it never entered my body.”

Si Yue knew little about this situation, so he immediately looked at Ye Liushang suspiciously.

Ye Liushang’s expression was serious. Although he had deliberately controlled the dosage, it shouldn’t be ineffective.

“I’ve never thought of such a situation,” Ye Liushang said truthfully. “The phoenix blood has powerful fusion power. When it fuses, the Sect Master’s body should have an obvious reaction.”

“Did you use too little?!” Xiao Liuli guessed innocently with wide eyes.

Without waiting for Ye Liushang to deny it, the High Priest shook his head.

As someone who had been injected with phoenix blood before, the High Priest had a say. He said, “I injected even less back then, but the phoenix blood saved my life.”

“The phoenix blood is a very powerful force. No matter how little you inject it, there shouldn’t be any reaction.”

Things seemed to have exceeded their understanding. Si Yue couldn’t help but feel worried. “Brother Liushang, will she be fine?”

Seeing this, Ye Liushang couldn’t help but smile. “Don’t worry, nothing will happen.”

Jian Ai also comforted everyone. “Although I haven’t seen the effect, nothing bad happened. Let’s wait a while longer. Perhaps it’s because of the power of blood in my body, or for some other reason, but the progress might be slower.”

In fact, Jian Ai was looking forward to the effect of the phoenix blood. If she could successfully break through the high-level mental cultivation technique with the enhancement of the phoenix blood, it would undoubtedly save her a lot of detours.

When everyone heard this, they could only leave it as such. After all, this matter was not so easily controlled by them.

Just as everyone was about to disperse, Jian Ai suddenly felt a strange feeling coming from her body. Although the feeling was fleeting, it was abnormally obvious.

This was…

Jian Ai frowned and focused on capturing it. The others couldn’t help but look at each other. Ye Liushang was the first to go forward and ask with concern, “Sect Master, what’s wrong?”

“I…” Jian Ai was about to say something when a heat suddenly surged in her heart and spread out.

The temperature was extremely hot. Jian Ai frowned in discomfort and gritted her teeth. “It’s so hot!”

The heat assaulted her limbs and bones and wrapped around her entire body in the blink of an eye. The temperature of her entire skin also quickly heated.

The people beside her also felt a heat being released from Jian Ai’s body. The High Priest seemed to know this feeling and couldn’t help but say in surprise, “It’s the phoenix blood!”

Ye Liushang said at the same time, “Sect Master, immediately circulate your energy and use your body to feel and accept the phoenix blood. Remember not to use the power of blood and maintain a calm state of mind!”

Jian Ai nodded and sat on the sofa to do as Ye Liushang said.

“Don’t worry, everyone. It’s fine,” Ye Liushang said to the others at the same time.

With no other unexpected situations, Jian Ai calmly operated the airflow in her body and quickly lowered the temperature in her body.

Half an hour later, Jian Ai felt her body gradually return to normal. Then, she slowly opened her eyes.

“It’s over?”

Seeing this, Si Yue quickly asked.

Jian Ai also looked at Ye Liushang in confusion. Wasn’t the fusion process too easy? Other than the scorching airflow at the beginning, she felt nothing else.

Ye Liushang smiled and said, “Although the phoenix blood is powerful, it’s not a ferocious beast. Although it will hurt a little during the fusion, it’s not complicated.”

“Moreover, the Sect Master didn’t use the power of blood. Otherwise, if the two abilities repel each other, she would probably suffer,” the High Priest added.

Jian Ai couldn’t help but slowly heave a sigh of relief. She felt warmth in her body, and she was even lighter.

This might be the most intuitive feeling the phoenix blood gave her after fusing.

“When can I continue to cultivate the power of blood?” Jian Ai said impatiently, “I want to see what changes this phoenix blood can bring me.”

“Sect Master, don’t be anxious. The phoenix blood has just integrated into your body. You still need to give it a few days to buffer,” Ye Liushang said. “We can try in three days!”

“Alright, three days later!” Jian Ai nodded.

At night, the seventeenth Star Award ceremony was held at a stadium in Shanghai.

As one of the top three film awards in China, the Star Award could be said to be one of the most authoritative awards in the industry. Behind this award was the most professional jury and the fairest evaluation system. It was an award that everyone dreamed of winning.

The entire country knew that when one of the three awards, Star Award, Galaxy Award, and Flower Award, was won, regardless of whether it was for the main role or the supporting role, they would have enough confidence to gain a stable footing in the industry.

In the second half of last year, Xia Qinghuan successfully won the Galaxy Award’s Best Actress Award with her debut movie and became the youngest winner of this award.

Therefore, Xia Qinghuan was also the favorite to win the Star Award’s Best Actress Award this year. Almost after the shortlist was announced, all the authoritative review programs predicted that Xia Qinghuan would win.

If she won the Star Award and then the Flower Award, she would become the youngest to win the three grand awards after Yun Buyao.

Rose Entertainment had high hopes for Xia Qinghuan. They were determined for her to win this year’s Best Actress Award.

The red carpet was laid all the way from the main entrance of the stadium to the road. Reporters and fans from all walks of life had long rushed over in the morning to occupy the most advantageous position. Such a grand event of the film festival was filled with stars every year. It was unprecedented!
