Chapter 103: Dragon Veins
"Not as strong as I thought?"
Looking at the entire eastern region, I'm afraid no one would dare to fight against this Ink Dragon, right?
If this isn't strong, then what would be considered strong?
Su Zhaoyue was about to retort, but when she thought about how Su Zhan had killed the Ink Dragon without sustaining any significant injuries, except for rendering his dragon scale armor useless, she couldn't find the words to argue.
Fine, fine, fine. If you say it's not strong, then it's not strong. Since you've killed it, you must have a point! Anyway, compared to a freak like you, it's indeed not that strong!
Su Zhaoyue inwardly grumbled, then spoke, "Su Zhan, if you don't need to recuperate, let's go down and get the Dragon Breath Flame now!"
"Alright."
Su Zhan nodded and looked at the massive body of the Ink Dragon. With a wave of his hand, his true qi surged forth, and he stored the Ink Dragon's body in a storage ring.
They then descended through the crack in the ground.
Only then did Su Zhan notice that there was an obviously crafted space beneath the valley. Array inscriptions floated above, keeping the ground from collapsing, while large stone pillars stood upright.
The stone pillars were embedded with many luminous stones, emitting a faint glow that illuminated the underground world.
"Although the Ink Dragon has intelligence and might have learned about arrays, it definitely couldn't have built something like this. It seems that humans have also been here."
"Those people were probably captured by the Ink Dragon to construct this underground lair, and now only a pile of bones remains." After walking for a while, Su Zhan's gaze fell on the bones near the stone pillars and he spoke.
Continuing forward and passing through the passage between the stone pillars, the space ahead suddenly opened up.
It turned out to be a palace!
Moreover, in front of the palace, there was a white stone square.
"The Dragon Breath Flame is right ahead!" Su Zhaoyue pointed to the palace and said.
Soon, they entered the palace, and Su Zhan used the Firestar Sword Technique to break through the array barriers, reaching the back of the palace.
It was an open area.
At the center of the open space, within an area of about ten meters in diameter, a blazing crimson flame was burning fiercely!
Beneath the flames, there was a scale. And within the flames, golden liquid was suspended, drop by drop.
Dragon scales! Dragon blood!
Su Zhan's eyes brightened, and his spiritual power extended, sensing the rich aura of a true dragon emanating from the scale. He couldn't help but feel excited.
"No wonder, no wonder the Ink Dragon built a palace here to serve as its lair. So, there is really dragon blood here!"
"The Ink Dragon must not dare to touch the Dragon Breath Flame. It can only collect the true dragon blood that is not surrounded by the Dragon Breath Flame after it subsides!"
"That patch of dragon scales is over ten meters in size. Originally, the Dragon Breath Flame should have been consistent with the area covered by the dragon scales, but now it has shrunk by one circle. I wonder how much true dragon blood that Ink Dragon has obtained!"
"It shouldn't be too much. I estimate it's only one or two drops! After all, there are only ten drops of true dragon blood in the Dragon Breath Flame at the moment!"
"Well, you collect the Dragon Breath Flame, and afterwards, we'll refine the dragon blood!"
Upon hearing Su Zhan's words, Su Zhaoyue nodded. She began to activate her special cultivation technique, stimulating her physique to collect the Dragon Breath Flame.
The Dragon Breath Flame was the most direct and destructive flame among the different types of special flames. Its destructive power was extremely strong. Therefore, Su Zhaoyue showed a pained expression while collecting it.
Several hours passed, and Su Zhaoyue successfully collected all of the Dragon Breath Flame. She closed her eyes and sat cross-legged, as the dragon flame merged into her body, causing her cultivation to skyrocket!
The inscriptions of the array above flickered wildly, and the spiritual energy of the surrounding heaven and earth gathered frantically towards her.
"This is the condensation of the Origin elixir!" Su Zhan's gaze focused, hesitated for a moment, and chose not to immediately refine the dragon blood.
When Su Zhaoyue condenses the Origin elixir, her resistance to external dangers greatly weakens. If he also focuses on refining the dragon blood, he might not have time to react if a monster like the Ink Dragon appears, and Su Zhaoyue could be killed.
After some consideration, Su Zhan sat in front of Su Zhaoyue. He took out the Spirit Gathering Pearl and placed it in the hands of the girl in front of him.
Instantly, Su Zhaoyue, who had been struggling to condense the Origin elixir due to the scarcity of spiritual energy caused by the array barrier, felt an instant sense of relief. Her hand gently held onto Su Zhan's hand as he was about to retrieve it.
Though she didn't open her eyes, a faint smile of happiness appeared on her face.
"Thank you." The girl softly spoke.
"No need for thanks." Su Zhan smiled in response.
Half a day later.
A huge vortex of spiritual energy formed above Su Zhaoyue.
The true qi within her body was compressed to the extreme, eventually forming a pure white Origin elixir. There were very few impurities in the Origin elixir.
A top-grade Origin elixir!
Su Zhaoyue opened her eyes and handed the Spirit Gathering Pearl back to Su Zhan, smiling sweetly, "Thank you, Su Zhan. If it weren't for you, I wouldn't have been able to condense a top-grade Origin elixir."
Su Zhan put the Spirit Gathering Pearl into his storage space and shook his head. "The quality of the Origin elixir is determined by one's talent. You would definitely be able to condense a top-grade Origin elixir. It's just that without this Spirit Gathering Pearl, it might take three to five days to complete this step due to the scarcity of spiritual energy in the surroundings."
"Anyway, thank you very much!" Su Zhaoyue retracted the Origin elixir into her abdomen and curiously asked, "Su Zhan, is your Origin elixir also top-grade?"
"No."
"You're not"
"Supreme-grade Origin Elixir, without any impurities."
Su Zhaoyue was initially somewhat incredulous that Su Zhan's talent couldn't condense a top-grade Origin elixir. But upon hearing his explanation, she felt a bit frustrated.
Indeed, a freak is a freak. His talent surpassed the limitations set by the world's rankings.
Supreme-grade Origin elixir It seemed like she had never heard of such a grade before. Did he come up with that name himself?? Well, apart from this big freak, who else could refine a Origin elixir without any impurities?
While Su Zhaoyue was silently criticizing, Su Zhan also looked at the dragon blood and said, "We discovered this dragon blood together, so let's refine it together. The amount we refine will depend on our abilities."
"No, we agreed to each take what we need. How can I"
"No need to say more. I have made up my mind." Su Zhan shook his head. The fact that Su Zhaoyue was willing to sacrifice half of her lifespan and save him with her talent was already enough.
"That the dragon scales will be yours!" After thinking for a moment, Su Zhaoyue felt a bit embarrassed and said, "Actually, you're the one at a loss. Otherwise"
"There's no loss and no profit. If I'm willing, then it's fine. Besides, the value of the dragon scales is not beneath that of the dragon blood!" Su Zhan smiled and walked forward, using his spiritual power to capture a drop of dragon blood from a distance and began refining it.
As for Su Zhaoyue, she hesitated for a moment and also captured a drop of dragon blood, swallowing it and initiating the refining process.
One day later.
Due to the Dragon Breath Flame, Su Zhaoyue's refinement of the dragon blood was several times more efficient. In just one day, she completed the refinement of the dragon blood, significantly enhancing her physical body. With the assistance of the dragon blood's power, she effortlessly cleared the impurities in her Origin elixir and stabilized her cultivation level.
Her gaze turned to Su Zhan.
At this moment, Su Zhan had already refined five drops of dragon blood. On his body, the meridians protruded, emitting a golden light, resembling dragons coiling around his body!
The golden light on those meridians became even more dazzling. Although Su Zhan couldn't release the power of his true qi, with the emergence of these golden meridians, a terrifying aura erupted from his body.
"Roar!"
Above him, a faint shadow of a true dragon and stars could be seen. The roar of a dragon reverberated, shaking one's soul.
"This, this is" Su Zhaoyue was astonished when she witnessed this scene.
The light on her ring started to flicker, and Lin Feiyu appeared. Even she was moved by what she saw at this moment.
"Dragon veins! His meridians are transforming into dragon veins! If he truly succeeds with a dragon vein physique, he could rival a divine body. Doesn't that mean he has two divine bodies??"
