Chapter 2- Primordial Blood?

"This… this is no ordinary talent!" one of them exclaimed. "His bloodline… it's beyond anything we've ever seen!" 

Ren himself felt the energy coursing through him, but little did he know that this moment would change his destiny forever

The old village head stepped back in alarm. This reaction.... it's too intense!

 Ren's breathing steadied, and an eerie silence filled the gathering. He looked down at his hands, now pulsing with newfound strength. His senses sharpened, the night air feeling clearer, his surroundings more vivid. He could hear the whispers of the villagers, their hushed voices filled with awe and fear.

Then, from the shadows, a cloaked figure stepped forward, his voice deep and commanding. Ren's breath came in ragged gasps as he stared at the cloaked figure who had emerged from the shadows. The villagers in awe and fear about how the man in cloak appeared stepped back in fear.

The village deviod of any sounds except for those of vser distant cackling of torches, the villagers maintaning a safe distance from him and his parents approaching him, his mother pulling him into her embrace like that of a hen protecting her chicks.

The cloaked man approached ren who was in his mother's embrace and patted his head, he said "kid, will you follow me?" Ren took a deep breath his breath steady, he clenched his fists feeling the last traces of the awakening liquid still causing his veins to pulsate and his mouth still filled with the bitter taste of the awakening liquid, he said no, the cloaked man expression did not change but something flickered in his eyes- surprise maybe even disappiontment. he said "If you remain here, you will only endanger them," the man cautioned, his voice steady but laced with urgency. "Your awakening is no longer hidden. Those who seek power will come for you—not for who you are, but for the blood that runs through your veins if your are lucky, you will be trained to be one of their disciples but if not your blood will be extracted and be refined into a Primordial Essence Elixir to used to boost the purity of their blood and boosting the purity of their blood also mean boosting their strength.

The words hung in the air like a death sentence."Refined into Primordial Essence Elixir."Ren's breath caught in his throat, his body tensing as the weight of the statement sank in,his thoughts spiraled struggling to grasp the weight of what he has just heard, even though he was young,he knew the meaning of the primordial essence elixir. It was one of the basic knowledge taught to child at his age one month to the awakening ceremony. It is a powerful elixer refined using the blood and essence of a blood cultivator with high blood quality. The cloaked man said"you have to make a decision now" His father with his voice trembling said "my son go with the cloaked man and run for your life" Ren wanted to refute him but seeing his mother pleading with him with her her to go, he relented.That day, solmenly in his heart he vowed to come back for his parents and let them live the life they deserve.Leaving his parents side and going to a place with unkwon destination made him tear up.

The cloaked man gave Ren's parents a pouch, he told them that they should never open the pouch in the presence of anybody, he told them"never tell anyone about the amount and content in the pouch for with great wealth comes ruin"

The cloaked man enveloped Ren with his sliver blood force, the villagers having never see this kind of phenomena watched in awe as it enveloped him and they dissapeared instantly.`
