Rising from the Ashes (Andrew) novel Chapter 2549

Inside a small storage room, Madeline carefully handed Andrew a black box as if it were something precious.

Andrew raised a brow. "What's this?"

Madeline smiled. "Andrew, you might find what's inside very useful. I heard from Amari that you've been looking for Blackstar Crystal and century-old Vampire Fangs, rare ingredients for alchemy. What's in here isn't any less valuable, so I want you to have it. Besides, you're probably the only one bold enough to use it."

When Andrew opened the box, his eyes widened instantly.

Inside was a blood-red object about the size of his palm. It looked like a root at first glance, but upon closer inspection, it was not a plant at all. It was actually crystalized, shaped like a small human figure, glowing faintly red under the light.

"This must be the legendary Blood Pith, isn't it? A treasure capable of refining tenth-grade elixirs. In terms of value, it's priceless."

Madeline nodded, "That's right, it's Blood Pith. According to ancient records, this thing was formed in ancient times when peak martial arts masters died in large numbers and their blood gathered together.

"After hundreds or even thousands of years underground, the earth's energy condensed all of their essence into what you see now, the Blood Pith. But it's extremely dangerous. Anything this powerful carries deadly poison and violent energy. Andrew, you must be cautious if you plan to use it."

Andrew gave a wry smile. "Caution isn't even the problem here… It's that even I don't dare use something like this. This is far too valuable. I can't take it, you should keep it."

Madeline shook her head. "No. This is my way of thanking you. You might be young, but you've done a lot for Amari, and he's told me that himself many times. Honestly, I already knew about you back then. The Dragon Prince of the Lloyd family truly lives up to his name."

She smiled faintly. "The Blood Pith is far beyond my capabilities. It's useless to me, but in your hands, it'll make a difference. A treasure is wasted if it's not given to the right person."
