Chapter Eighty-One: Blood Sacrifice Seal, Meng Ling's Transaction

  Putting aside the exam for now, after Sasuke used Mōra's "secret medicine", he also successfully completed the preliminary with his own creation, Shishi Rendan no Jutsu. As soon as the match ended, Mōra and Kakashi took Sasuke to a secret location, where they were about to begin the sealing process.

  "Sasuke, stand still and don't move. There might be some pain, but you won't be able to use chakra for a while. Just relax." Miren glanced at the cursed seal on Sasuke's neck and said calmly, then took out several kunai from her ninja tool pouch.

  Meng Ling knew that if she really used the Chaotic Five Elements Seal, then Orochimaru's curse seal would become completely useless. That way, Sasuke wouldn't be able to obtain the power of Orochimaru's curse seal, and whether he would betray them or not would be an unknown quantity. So Meng Ling made some adjustments to her own seal, at the cost of... five drops of her own blood.

  With a bitter cry, he cut his right hand's five fingers at the fingertips and dripped five drops of fresh blood onto the five directions of Sasuke's curse seal.

  "It is said that this cursed seal was obtained by Orochimaru through the study of a being similar to a Berserker called Ten no Jūjin, and is divided into two seals: Heaven and Earth. The Earth Seal has much less power than the Heaven Seal, but on the other hand, it also carries much less risk. At most, it can only put someone in a state of 'controlled madness'. It's just like the SEED mode from Gundam SEED. If that's the case, then I should be able to seal away the violent aura of the Heaven Seal." Dreaming thought to himself as he continued his analysis.

  "What's wrong? Mugen, is there something that doesn't feel right?" Kakashi asked as he walked over to Mugen who was still deep in thought.

  "Hehe, Sasuke, it seems that Orochimaru has indeed given you a great gift this time, but it's not quite complete." said Mugen with a smile.

  "What do you mean by that?" Sasuke asked in puzzlement.

  "This curse seal can put you in a state similar to frenzy, under which your strength will double. This curse seal is divided into two states: the first state can increase your strength by twice, and the second state can also increase your strength by twice. In other words, you have obtained a secret weapon that can instantly boost your power during battle." Meng Ling explained with a smile.

  "Is this true?" Sasuke asked excitedly.

  "It's true, but this curse seal is still unstable at the moment, so it will put a huge burden on your body." Meng Ling explained.

  "But looking at you, it seems like you've already thought of a way, haven't you?" Kakashi asked calmly.

  "Heh heh, you've figured it out, Kakashi-sensei. Indeed, I have already thought of a way. With this seal in place, the violent power within Sasuke's curse mark won't backlash against his body, and Sasuke will be able to use the curse mark even more skillfully." Miren said with a smile.

  "Let's get started then." Sasuke said impatiently. It was clear that his pursuit of power was extremely urgent at this point.

  "This is easy, but..." Meng Ling's left hand made a knife-like gesture and directly knocked Sasaki unconscious.

  "Before sealing it, I'll deal with some uninvited guests first," Meng Ling said lightly, and the Su Wu in her right hand immediately shot towards the dark place behind her.

  "Wow, I didn't think you'd be able to detect my presence." A 'ding' sound was heard, and then the giant snake slowly emerged from the shadows, its entire body emitting a purple mist.

  "Orochimaru, what brings you here?" Kakashi's pupils constricted immediately after catching sight of Orochimaru.

  "It's for Sasuke's Rinnegan, Orochimaru. Last time you gave me the Kusanagi sword, so this time are you planning to give me your life as well?" Meng Ling said calmly, and at the same time summoned Orochimaru's Kusanagi sword from the Hunyuan Caoyu jade, waving it in his hand. In these few days, Meng Ling had already used his own skills to refine the Kusanagi sword into a weapon that belonged to him alone. (No choice, who let our Eastern immortal arts be able to refine weapons!!!)

  "Hmph, the Grass Pheasant Sword will be mine sooner or later. For now, I'll just have to leave it with you." Da She Wan said with a hint of playfulness, gazing at Meng Ling with his magnetic voice.

  "Keeping it here with me will require interest, Orochimaru. What are you prepared to offer as interest? Your collection of jutsu, or... your life?" Mugen asked coldly, the grass-cutting sword in his hand already radiating a blue glow.

  "I didn't come here this time to fight with you, but if you think fighting here won't affect the match, I wouldn't mind either - Hidden Shadow Snake Hand." The big snake pill looked at Meng Leng's eyes that gradually revealed a murderous aura and took the lead in making a move.

  "Hmph, too slow - Eight Trigrams Jade Hook." Meng Ling's right hand formed a fist and swung forward fiercely. Instantly, countless golden rays shot out, turning Da She Wan's Subduing Snake Hand into a beehive.

  "What a powerful force, it's so beautiful. If your power wasn't above mine, I would have taken your body." The giant snake, Maru, stuck out his extremely disgusting tongue and licked his lips, speaking with a sly smile.

  "It seems you still have some self-awareness, but do you think you can leave here today?" Meng Ling's right hand tightened its grip on the Grass Mudra Sword, and he also felt a bit helpless. Originally, in his own Chaotic Color Jade, there was a large pile of divine artifacts, but since Meng Ling's cultivation had not yet reached the level of refining divine artifacts, he could only make do with using the Grass Mudra Sword that had been tempered by the Great Snake Pill.

  "Although I don't feel the power of a divine artifact, this spirit artifact is still very useful." Meng Ling swung the grass pheasant sword in her hand and coldly approached Daijamaru. But at the last moment when she was about to leave, Meng Ling's left hand pressed on the cursed seal on Sasuke's unconscious body.

  "With my fresh blood as the key, seal away that violent breath——Blood Seal." Dreaming Lian said softly, at the same time, the five drops of fresh blood on Sasuke's body gradually merged with the cursed seal on his neck, rotated and finally transformed into a Taiji diagram.

  "Alright, Kakashi-sensei, take Sasuke to the hospital. I'll go and collect some interest from this person who's been 'storing' his things with me." Mei Ling said calmly, then walked up to Orochimaru, her grass-cutting sword lightly swinging out a few sword petals.

  "Kakashi reminded Tsunade and then left the location with Sasuke."

  "Heh heh, has she left already? That little girl is really interesting. Well, let's have a good talk here then." said Daijamaru with a sly smile.

  "Hmm, alright, no more nonsense. I want something from you as interest." Meng Ling put away his grass-cutting sword and stretched out his right hand towards Daijamaru.

  "Heh heh, well then, tell me, what is it that you want?" asked Orochimaru with a hint of curiosity.

  "You used to be a member of 'Xiao', I want your empty ring." Meng Ling said lightly.

  "It seems you know quite a bit, but what makes you think I'll give it to you? And why do you want that ring anyway?" Da She Wan asked his two questions in succession.

  "Relying on my own strength, I am my own reliance. As for why I need that ring, you don't need to know these things. Your answer is, do I have to take it by force or will you give it to me yourself?" Meng Ling asked lightly.

  "Little girl, although I don't know what you're thinking, but if there's no benefit to me, I won't hand over the empty ring to you." Da She Wan said calmly.

  "Really? Then tell me, what kind of benefits do you need? Maybe I'll consider it." Meng Ling asked lightly.

  "It's simple, I need the blood from your body for research, can you give it to me?" asked Daijya Maru.

  "Blood? Alright, one drop of fresh blood for a ring, what do you think?" Meng Ling said lightly, and in her hand appeared a dagger.

  "A single drop? That's too little, you're not showing any sincerity at all." said Da She Wan coldly.

  "Alright, one milliliter it is, that's my limit. You know, you don't have a choice." Meng Ling used her nail to cut open a small wound on her finger, squeezed out a few drops of blood into a small bottle and said calmly.

  "What's with the one milliliter? That's enough, so take the ring. In Daisuke Maru's hand also appeared a scroll, which when unrolled revealed a rotting left hand of a person in front of Mugen, and on that hand's little finger was a ring with the character for 'sky' or 'empty'."

  "Alright, throw it over." Meng Ling said lightly and threw the small bottle in her hand out. At the same time, Da She Wan also threw the explanation he had just taken off to Meng Ling.

  ————I am that gorgeous dividing line————

  That night, in Meng Ling's own small hut, at this time, Meng Ling was constantly observing the ring in her hand, with a puzzled expression on her face.

  "What's so special about this ring anyway? Forget it, I've got the Party's empty ring now. If Tuan Cang really makes things difficult for me in the future, I'll just join Xiao first and use it as a place to hide. At the same time, I can also help Ming Ren and the others gather some intelligence." Meng Ling looked at the ring on her palm with a pleased smile and said.

  At this time, Da She Wan looked at the small bottle in his hand and suddenly threw it into the distant forest.

  "Haha, unexpectedly being played by that little girl, this isn't even her own blood. Looks like this little girl is going to be a big variable from now on!" Da She Wan said calmly...
