"Armed to the teeth?"
Lu Sheng raised an eyebrow, turning his gaze from the oppressive abyss sea map to Li Xiaoyao.
The old man's expression had returned to its usual solemnity, even carrying a hint of heartache and seriousness. He reached into his robes, his movements cautious, as if he were carrying not an inanimate object, but a miniature nuclear bomb that could explode at any moment.
Om-!
As he withdrew his hand, the originally calm and flowing spiritual mist at the top of Daozi Peak was violently stirred up as if by an invisible giant hand.
The space appeared to be distorted to the naked eye.
A jade bottle, no bigger than the palm of his hand and with an ancient, bluish-green color, floated quietly in Li Xiaoyao's palm.
The bottle was covered with three sealing talismans of different colors, each radiating a chilling spiritual pressure.
Even so, a violent, bloodthirsty, and ferocious aura, seemingly from the primordial era, still seeped out through the gaps in the bottle stopper.
"nice one."
Every cell in Lu Sheng's body tensed up instantly, a predator's instinctive reaction to smell its apex prey.
He could feel the dormant dragon god sequence within him emitting a greedy growl:
Eat it! We must eat it!
"This is definitely good stuff."
Li Xiaoyao looked at Lu Sheng's vertical pupils that suddenly lit up, smugly snorted, and then his expression became extremely serious.
"This substance is called—'Dragon Blood Tempering Fluid'."
"It is the remains of a sub-dragon that one of my ancestors on Immortal Island accidentally obtained in an ancient ruin three thousand years ago. It was combined with ninety-nine kinds of thousand-year-old spiritual plants and refined in the eye of the earth fire for a full forty-nine years to obtain this small bottle."
Li Xiaoyao pointed at the jade bottle, his tone heavy: "Within this bottle lies a trace of true dragon might and the violent laws of fire element."
"Lu Sheng, your foundation is indeed ridiculously good. You have reached the Great Perfection of Level 9 Spirit Source. If you put this kind of accumulation outside, it would be enough for an ordinary mediocre person to break through to Level 10 three times."
The old man changed the subject, his gaze sweeping sharply over Lu Sheng's body.
"But you must understand that before level 10, the reason why they are called Spirit Source Practitioners is because from this point onwards, cultivators must draw the spiritual energy of heaven and earth into their bodies, reshape their physical bodies, and transform their mortal bodies into 'elemental bodies'."
"Although your physical body is powerful, even able to withstand the pressure of the Ascension Path, in my opinion..."
Li Xiaoyao shook his head, hitting the nail on the head: "It's not perfect yet."
"Your body is like an iron barrel filled with gunpowder. It's hard, but it lacks resilience. Once the elements of heaven and earth are reversed, it's very likely that it won't be able to withstand that violent energy and—bang!—explode into a pile of minced meat."
Lu Sheng looked down at his palm, lost in thought.
indeed.
Although his attributes were stacked to an abnormal level thanks to the system's stat allocation, it felt more like a "pile" of attributes, lacking a sense of harmonious unity.
"Therefore, this bottle of Dragon Blood Tempering Liquid is to complete the final piece of your foundation puzzle."
Li Xiaoyao solemnly handed over the jade bottle.
It feels heavy in the hand and as hot as a branding iron.
"This liquid is extremely potent. Even our ancestor diluted it a hundredfold before daring to give it to his descendants."
Li Xiaoyao raised a finger, like an old scholar in a private school, and began to ramble on with instructions:
"Remember! This stuff isn't sugar water; it's both poison and a panacea!"
"Although you possess the bloodline of a true dragon and have stronger resistance than ordinary people, you must never be careless."
"You must prepare a large bucket of ancient, cold spring water, and each time you take only one drop... no, half a drop! Dilute it in the water, then soak in the bath and let it be slowly absorbed through your pores."
"Once a day, do not overdo it."
"If you feel a stinging pain in your meridians, stop immediately! Otherwise, that violent dragon blood energy will tear you apart instantly..."
boo.
A crisp sound of a cork being pulled out abruptly interrupted Li Xiaoyao's earnest instruction.
The air froze instantly.
A thick, nauseating yet strangely fragrant stench of blood, like tangible red smoke, instantly filled the entire summit of Daozi Peak.
Li Xiaoyao's words caught in his throat, his eyes widening little by little.
He saw Lu Sheng, who was still a "newbie in cultivation" in his eyes, holding the jade bottle that was powerful enough to flatten a mountain and smelling it.
Then, he frowned with a look of disgust.
"This is dragon blood? Why does it smell like rust?"
Lu Sheng muttered something to himself.
next second.
Under Li Xiaoyao's horrified gaze, Lu Sheng tilted his head back, as if drinking a cheap two-yuan bottle of beer at a roadside stall, looking directly at the bottle opening...
grunt.
grunt.
Several big bites!
Two-thirds of the bottle of dark red liquid was poured down his throat!
"Are you crazy?!"
A scream loud enough to pierce eardrums erupted from the mouth of Li Xiaoyao, the Grand Elder who was usually unfazed even in the face of a collapsing mountain.
The sound was so loud it made my legs split open.
Li Xiaoyao felt a chill run down his spine, and his blood seemed to run backward.
That's Dragon Blood Tempering Liquid!
Even bathwater diluted a hundred times could scald a level 9 expert with a slightly weaker constitution, leaving their skin torn and bleeding.
This kid... he drank it straight away?!
Is it even straight from the bottle?!
"Spit it out!!"
Without a second thought, Li Xiaoyao unleashed a surge of spiritual pressure, his figure transforming into a blur as he hurtled towards Lu Sheng.
He had to knock the kid unconscious immediately and then use his spiritual power to force out what was in his stomach. Otherwise, in less than three breaths, this last human would become a human bomb and blow up Daozi Peak!
however.
Just as his palm was about to touch Lu Sheng's shoulder.
One hand steadily blocked him.
"Don't shake... old man, don't shake."
Lu Sheng remained with his head tilted back, holding the jade bottle, which was still more than half full, in his left hand, while his right hand blocked Li Xiaoyao, and a very strange expression appeared on his face.
His skin was turning red at a visible rate.
It wasn't a healthy rosy complexion, but rather like a boiled shrimp, even faintly glowing with a golden-red light, with the blood vessels under the skin clearly visible, like countless burning earthworms writhing wildly.
hiss hiss hiss—
White steam billowed from Lu Sheng's head and pores, instantly heating the surrounding air to over 100 degrees Celsius.
"You...you..."
Li Xiaoyao's hand froze in mid-air as he looked at Lu Sheng, who resembled a steampunk goddess, his lips trembling: "You're not dead yet?"
Based on his experience, Lu Sheng should have already exploded by now.
"Death? Not likely."
Lu Sheng let out a loud burp, exhaling a breath of hot air that seemed to carry sparks.
"belch--"
"It's a bit filling... It's quite strong, like drinking a case of expired Erguotou (a type of Chinese liquor)."
Lu Sheng felt as if he had swallowed not liquid, but a living, crazed fire dragon.
The moment that energy slid down his esophagus, it transformed into raging magma, frantically assaulting his internal organs, attempting to burn this mortal body that dared to devour it to ashes.
Does it hurt?
It does hurt a bit.
It felt like someone was scrubbing his stomach lining with a steel wool pad.
But amidst this excruciating pain, Lu Sheng felt a kind of pleasure emanating from the depths of his soul.
That was the cheering of the [Dragon God Sequence] as they ate.
"System, stop pretending to be dead."
Lu Sheng cursed inwardly, "If I don't get to work soon, I'm really going to get roasted."
[Ding! High-purity dragon blood energy source detected!]
[WARNING: The energy reaction is extremely violent! Exceeding the host's current physical capacity by 300%!]
[Dragon God Sequence... Fully Activated!]
[Violent suppression begins!]
boom--!
Within Lu Sheng's body, it seemed as if an ancient dragon's roar resounded.
The raging red current that had been rampaging through his body, ready to tear his meridians apart, froze abruptly the moment the dragon's roar rang out, like a mouse encountering a cat.
That was absolute suppression based on bloodline.
The blood of the dragon encountered the soul of the true dragon.
next second.
Lu Sheng's dark golden vertical pupils suddenly contracted to the size of needles, and an incomparably domineering suction force erupted from the depths of every cell in his body.
Devour!
break down!
Transform!
The energy that originally wanted to destroy him was forcibly broken and crushed, turning into the purest and gentlest nutrients, which frantically filled his bones, muscles, and internal organs.
Li Xiaoyao stood aside, completely dumbfounded.
He watched as the red light on Lu Sheng's body not only did not explode out of control, but instead began to pulsate rhythmically.
With each beat, Lu Sheng's aura surged.
The feeling was like watching an ancient, ferocious beast emerging from its cocoon.
