'Let's see what my private realm looks like.' Ye Tian Yun thought while staring at the Nine Heavens Painting in front of him.
The painting had a golden glow and an ancient aura, covering everything within its surroundings in awe as it floated in the air.
'System, how should I bind with this?' Ye Tian Yun asked.
Usually, cultivators use the most common technique to bind treasures and artifacts with themselves, known as the Blood Binding Technique. This thod isn't much secret but is quite formidable and cannot be easily broken.
Ye Tian Yun wanted to try this thod. However, he was unsure whether it would be a success or not because System had often emphasized that the Nine Heavens Painting wasn't actually from this world.
Thus, he asked System to clarify how he should bind the painting with himself.
[Host, you can use the Blood Binding Technique and bind this painting with yourself, there won't be any hiccups from this thod.]
Ye Tian Yun replied, 'Well, that saves a lot of ti.'
The Blood Binding Technique is pretty simple - put a drop of your Blood Essence on the treasure you wish to bind.
Blood Essence is sothing similar to a person's Bone Marrow. So, it's sothing very important. Be it a cultivator or mortal, anyone will suffer from disabilities or even slow death if there's a lack of Blood Essence in their ridians.
It is essentially a mixture of Blood and Qi flowing through the veins and ridians. However, it's not a simple mixture, but more like a lifeline.
Losing one's Blood Essence is no different from losing the ability to breathe. It will eventually lead to a very slow and painful death.
Thus, even a single drop of Blood Essence is very vital for the human body. This is also the reason why cultivators don't just bind any treasure with them. Nobody has an unlimited supply of Blood Essence. Thus, anyone would be careful about what to choose.
The main advantage of this thod and the reason why cultivators still use it is the 'security' that a single drop of Blood Essence provides to the treasure.
Basically, this security doesn't let anyone 'steal' the treasure and run away with it because the thief won't be able to use the treasure without the owner's permission.
The only way of removing the Blood Bind is to either kill the owner of the treasure or if the owner willingly removes it.
The second thod had pretty dire consequences on the cultivator's body. Thus it is very rarely seen that a cultivator would willingly give up on his treasure. But it's pretty common to see people fighting and killing each other for even blood-bound treasures.
The one final reason why cultivators use this thod is that the treasure then acknowledges them and becos a 'part' of their owner, allowing him to control the treasure at will within a certain distance limit.
To take out the Blood Essence from the body to use it for the Blood Binding Technique, a cultivator needs to take out its drop from one of the most concentrated parts of the ridians.
The most commonly used ridian for this technique is the ridian between the index and middle finger.
A drop of blood essence will co out after a cut is made at the right place. This drop will then slowly flow to the tip of the index finger, from which it will be dropped on the treasure.
As soon as it strikes, the treasure will be bound with the cultivator.
There will be a few side effects of this thod, like weakness and dizziness. However, it won't last long, and a cultivator can recover within a few hours.
Thus, Ye Tian Yun began to prepare himself to blood bind himself with the Nine Heavens Painting.
Taking out a knife from his spatial ring, Ye Tian Yun pressed its tip between the middle and index finger.
The ridian that Ye Tian Yun was targeting was exactly the one that he had blocked a while ago through acupuncture. It was the last ridian to be blocked and had basically stopped the Qi flow through the whole hand.
Ye Tian Yun carefully placed the tip of the knife exactly on top of the thin gap between the ridian and the outer layer of skin.
Once the knife was placed in the right place, Ye Tian Yun made the cut without hesitation.
*spish*
A round ball of reddish blood sprouted on top of the cut, engulfing the tip of the knife.
Ye Tian Yun moved his fingers and pointed the index finger directly towards the ground, and the middle finger was horizontal to the ground.
Ye Tian Yun then moved his other hand and brought the Nine Heavens, Painting straight below the tip of his index finger.
anwhile, the round ball of blood began to flow and was slowly sweeping downwards towards the tip of the index finger.
The blood essence coming out of the cut wasn't red like blood. Rather it had a yellowish-golden shine on top of a light red color tone.
These golden spots were the main signatures of identification for blood essence.
The trail left by the flowing blood also had a reddish-golden glow. However, by the ti the blood essence reached the tip of his index finger, the cut between his fingers had healed itself.
This healing was not natural; rather, it was because of the presence of the blood essence.
The blood essence had healed the cut, thus barricading the flow of any more Blood Essence.
anwhile, at the tip of the finger, almost all of the blood essence had accumulated and soon took the shape of a ball.
*drip!*
The blood essence fell on the Nine Heavens Painting, and in the next instant, the painting began to shine with a golden glow and began to rise.
[Congratulations, Host. You have successfully bound the Nine Heavens Painting with yourself.]
