Lin Feng transmigrated to this world and became a villager of Ziyou Mountain Village.
He and his sister depended on each other for survival, living an ordinary life for more than ten years.
He had no cheat ability, no system, and was as ordinary as a grain of sand.
Life there was no different from ancient times on Earth.
He worked in the fields under the scorching sun, sweat falling into the soil day after day—it truly felt like living in the most primitive times.
More than once, Lin Feng had looked up at the sky and shouted in frustration.
Wasn’t it said that everyone had their own talents?
Then why did others who transmigrated have advantages, systems, even powerful helpers, while he had nothing?
Was he brought here just to be toyed with?
Gradually, as the days passed, Lin Feng let go of his expectations, accepted his normal life, and grew used to living as just another person in this world.
He found that this life was not so bad.
Self-sufficient, working at sunrise and resting at sunset, the days were simple and steady.
But just as Lin Feng had accepted reality and was ready to live a quiet life, everything changed.
During a trip into the mountains to gather herbs, he accidentally discovered a true inheritance left behind by the Blood Sea Ancestor.
Through it, he opened his aperture and stepped onto the path of a Gu Master.
At the same time, he obtained several Blood Path Gu, a large number of refinement recipes, and even a small group of Blade-Winged Blood Bats from that inheritance.
Relying on this true inheritance, Lin Feng cultivated diligently for years, hunting beasts to obtain their blood and refining Gu, eventually reaching Rank 2 Peak.
At the same time, he raised a large number of Blade-Winged Blood Bats and made progress in the Enslavement Path.
But fate is always unpredictable.
Lin Feng only had the strength of Rank 2 Peak, and even with his full effort, he could not deal with such a beast tide.
Therefore, to prevent the villagers from being torn apart by the beasts, he activated his swarm of Blade-Winged Blood Bats, killing all the villagers and draining their blood for storage.
Of course, his stepsister was unaware of all this, and Lin Feng could not bear to let her witness such a bloody scene.
With the Blade-Winged Blood Bats guarding from the outside, the siblings endured for a full day and night before finally breaking out of the beast tide and surviving.
Because of the beast tide, most of the wild animals in the mountains had already been devoured.
Even after escaping, their situation was still extremely difficult.
Fortunately, not long after, a caravan passed by and rescued them.
As fate would have it, the caravan’s leader was a young lady from the Zhang family.
Kind-hearted, she noticed that Lin Feng was a Gu Master and, seeing his potential, recruited him as an external member of the Zhang family, assigning him to protect and assist Shang Xin Ci.
As a fan of Shang Xin Ci, Lin Feng truly liked this character.
In his eyes, she was one of the few people in this world who always kept a warm and compassionate heart, treating others sincerely no matter how harsh the situation became.
In a world where people fought for survival and power, such kindness was extremely rare.
Shang Xin Ci was not strong, nor did she rely on schemes, yet she still chose to help others and ease their suffering whenever she could.
Even figures like Lang Ya Earth Spirit and Paradise Earth immortal venerable were like this.
When facing powerful enemies, they did not hesitate to act, even choosing methods others would not expect.
Because of this, Lin Feng held a deep impression of her.
Moreover, Shang Xin Ci was someone favored by fate and humanity.
If Lin Feng went out alone into the Southern Border in the future, his sister would at least have a place to settle down.
The two followed the Zhang family caravan.
With Miss Zhang’s help, Lin Feng successfully broke through to Rank 3 and became a hidden elder of the Zhang family.
After becoming an elder, he did not accept other offers of recruitment and chose to remain by Miss Zhang’s side.
At the same time, he led caravans on her behalf, traveling across the Southern Border and earning primeval stones.
Fortunately, the Rank 3 Blood Tax Gu he had refined earlier could absorb the foundation and achievements of Blood Path Gu Masters.
In the time that followed, Lin Feng used this as the core to perfect his combat system.
He spread portions of the Blood Path inheritance, selecting certain people to cultivate it.
As these people continued their cultivation, most of their foundation and achievements were drawn away through the Blood Tax Gu and returned to Lin Feng.
They were the blood slaves he had chosen, unknowingly walking the path he arranged for them, using their own efforts to fuel his cultivation.
When these blood slaves reached a certain point, Lin Feng could seek them out and devour them.
As a Blood Path Gu Master, he could absorb others to strengthen himself, turning their entire cultivation into his own.
It could be said that he was making full use of every single one of them.
Because the Blood Path was rejected by the world, Lin Feng only chose Gu Masters with low strength and poor aptitude, people like Jia Jinsheng.
If they wanted to defy fate and change their miserable lives, then the Blood Path was the only road left to them.
At the same time, they could never expose it—once discovered, they would die without even a place to be buried.
As for whether Lin Feng felt any shame, the answer was obvious—he did not.
In his eyes, this was nothing more than one willing to give and one willing to take, an exchange of equal value.
Choosing a shortcut like the Blood Path meant accepting the risks that came with it.
This was their own choice.
If something went wrong, they could only blame themselves.
Rather than living an unknown, worthless life, it was better to seize everything and burn brightly for once.
It had already been laid out—now it was up to them to walk the path.
