Mythic Republic: I Bind Ancient Relics and Become a Sage!

In the chaotic era of the Republic, the land lies in ruins, and countless ancient artifacts have fallen into the hands of ordinary people. Each one may conceal mysterious, unfathomable power. Warriors of this age strengthen themselves by fusing with the bloodlines of strange beasts. The higher the grade of their bloodlines and the more kinds they possess, the greater their strength and the higher their limits in martial arts. Those with the bloodline of Xiangliu can control countless deadly toxins and lay down lethal poison formations with a casual gesture. Those with the bloodline of the Phoenix possess terrifying regenerative abilities and can quickly recover even from grievous injuries... But warriors at the bottom of society lack resources, making advancement difficult and breakthroughs all but impossible in a lifetime. Xie Han transmigrates and becomes a salvager, dredging up ancient artifacts from sunken ships on the banks of the Yellow River in Jin Province. Orphaned and destitute, he can barely afford food and clothing. At the edge of despair, he awakens the Mountain and River Blood Pact. He can sense divine ancient artifacts hidden nearby and seal a pact with them using his vital blood. The martial arts others spend half their lives painstakingly mastering, he can perfect through a pact. While others fight to the death over the flesh and blood of strange beasts, he can obtain their bloodlines from ancient artifacts. With the Mountain and River Blood Pact, Xie Han constantly gathers ancient artifacts and fuses bloodlines, carving out his own path to supreme martial arts, one bloody step at a time, in this chaotic era when human lives are worth less than grass.
