Capítulo 1241: Chapter 1226: Two People
Inside the hot spring pool of Marquis Xingqing’s Mansion, Marquis Xingqing Ji Tao, who was frolicking with several beauties draped in light gauze, looked with displeasure at the stooped chief steward of the Inner Residence by the poolside.
“Damn slave, ruining this marquis’s mood. If you can’t give me a good reason, I’ll flay your skin!”
As soon as these words were uttered, the chief steward of the Inner Residence immediately knelt down on the ground, touching his head to the floor, daring not to look at the hot spring pool, and cautiously said in a careful voice, “It’s nothing too major, just that Zhao Zhong has taken quite a lot with the marquis’s token, and I thought perhaps I should inform the marquis?”
“What, is this marquis’s token useless in the mansion?”
A light remark from Marquis Xingqing made the chief steward tremblingly respond that he dared not.
“Zhao Zhong is handling important matters for this marquis. Let him take whatever he needs directly!” At this point, Marquis Xingqing raised his brows and glanced unexpectedly at the chief steward.
The few chief stewards he instructed under his command were all proper people, typically very handy to use, and many matters required only a simple instruction from Marquis Xingqing without needing his concern.
Logically speaking, Zhao Zhong taking some cultivation resources wouldn’t warrant this chief steward’s special report.
Unless…..
At this thought, Marquis Xingqing raised his sword-like brows and commanded, “Speak up, what has Zhao Zhong taken?”
“Returning to the marquis, everything else is fine, mainly Zhao Zhong took the last ten barrels of True Dragon Essence Blood stored in the warehouse…..”
Before the chief steward could finish speaking, Marquis Xingqing, completely naked, stood up from the hot spring pool, glaring fiercely at the chief steward, “Someone in the Establishment Realm, not to mention True Dragon Essence Blood, even Ying Dragon Essence Blood wouldn’t be worthy, right?”
“Returning to the marquis, this old slave also said so, but Zhao Zhong mentioned that person has extraordinary talent, and today, besides those ten barrels of True Dragon Essence Blood, he took over a thousand barrels of Ying Dragon Essence Blood!” replied the chief steward.
Marquis Xingqing’s gaze froze once more. Not content with ten barrels of True Dragon Essence Blood, he took over a thousand two hundred barrels of Ying Dragon Essence Blood?
Ten barrels of True Dragon Essence Blood, not just for the Establishment Realm, even a master in the Divine Communication Realm could be created directly, if not killed?
Adding those one thousand and two hundred barrels of Ying Dragon Essence Blood could swiftly create a master at the Peak of Ninth-Stage Divine Communication, right?
The main surprise was those ten barrels of True Dragon Essence Blood were rewards from Prince Yangling, his father, for Marquis Xingqing to refine his body, though he had always been lazy and never used them.
Furthermore, Marquis Xingqing himself doesn’t have the capability to acquire True Dragon Essence Blood.
But Marquis Xingqing was very clear that Zhao Zhong would never dare deceive him, much less greedily take for himself.
If Zhao Zhong dared to pocket the True Dragon Essence Blood, the very chief steward would have already brought Zhao Zhong before him.
“Extraordinary talent?”
After several changes in expression, Marquis Xingqing waved his hand, “Since he has extraordinary talent, let him use it! As long as he can help this marquis win that gamble, consuming some True Dragon Essence Blood is nothing!”
“Understood, old slave!” respectively replied the chief steward, who then quietly left.
He was also afraid; this matter had to be known to the marquis, otherwise, should the marquis think of using the True Dragon Essence Blood one day, mentioning this would surely bring misfortune.
…..
Within the underground palace, Ye Zhen, being boiled inside a large cauldron, was breathing heavily.
With each breath, blood-red spiritual power, resembling a Blood Dragon, rushed into Ye Zhen’s body, quickly absorbed by Ye Zhen’s Dantian and Spirit Pillar.
With each breath, Ye Zhen’s cultivation would rise visibly, and each time, a faint thunderous sound would emanate from Ye Zhen’s heart, while the roar of a flood surged from his bloodline.
Enormous amounts of Dragon Clan Essence Blood contained the ancient Dragon Clan bloodline, and with each deep breath, through the fusion of Black Dragon Water Spirit Power, Ye Zhen’s physique was being strengthened.
By now, Ye Zhen had been inside the cauldron for fifty-nine days, leaving just one last day until the deadline given by Marquis Xingqing.
In fact, thirty-nine days ago, after absorbing and refining the terrifying energy contained within the ten barrels of True Dragon Essence Blood procured by Zhao Zhong, Ye Zhen’s Black Dragon Tyrant Body had achieved Small Success.
The True Dragon Essence Blood, containing unimaginable spiritual power, had directly perfected Ye Zhen’s Black Dragon Tyrant Body from its entry level.
Ye Zhen’s physical body was nearly reborn.
Every bone seemed to be refined thousands of times, the density becoming unimaginable.
The most direct result was Ye Zhen’s body weight increased abruptly by dozens of times.
Simultaneously, muscles, meridians, and skin underwent earth-shattering changes.
Earlier, Ye Zhen’s meridians were like streams that would get damaged with a slight disturbance, but now, they were broad rivers, reinforced countless times.
Even if floods wreak havoc, they couldn’t harm the river channels in the slightest.
Ye Zhen’s skin, now tougher than the strongest leather, remained unscathed by the boiling medicinal liquid in the cauldron.
These are merely the superficial benefits of achieving the Black Dragon Tyrant Body.
However, the real value of the Black Dragon Tyrant Body lies in its Ancient Black Dragon Cultivation Method.
The Ancient Black Dragon Clan, in their lifetime, only need to continuously cultivate this method for their cultivation to advance rapidly, constantly breaking through.
Ye Zhen is merely at the entry level, far incomparable to the Ancient Black Dragon’s cultivation method, but the benefits received are unimaginable.
After the initial formation of the Black Dragon Tyrant Body, the speed at which spiritual power and essence blood circulated within Ye Zhen’s body increased more than tenfold!
The capacity of Ye Zhen’s meridians and acupoints increased by tenfold or even dozens of times more.
Before the Black Dragon Tyrant Body was formed, it took Ye Zhen about two hours to absorb and refine a Low Grade Spirit Stone through the Laogong Acupoint, which had the strongest capacity.
It wasn’t that Ye Zhen couldn’t refine it faster, but if too much spiritual power flooded into the acupoint and meridians at once, it would severely limit them, forcing him to stop cultivating.
But now, after successfully cultivating the Black Dragon Tyrant Body, it’s different.
With the acupoints and meridians strengthened dozens of times, theoretically, the amount of spiritual power he can absorb at one time is also multiplied by a dozen or even dozens of times.
After the initial formation of the Black Dragon Tyrant Body, Ye Zhen found time to test it and now only needs 15 minutes to absorb and refine a Low Grade Spirit Stone.
It’s not just the Low Grade Spirit Stone; the speed at which Ye Zhen refines the Psychic Spirit Pill has also increased more than tenfold.
The newly formed Black Dragon Tyrant Body, along with Ye Zhen’s Spirit Palace, was like a greedy child, crazily drawing power from the Psychic Spirit Pill as long as it was in hand.
Originally, a single Psychic Spirit Pill could support Ye Zhen’s cultivation for eighteen days, but now, a single Psychic Spirit Pill can only support one day’s cultivation for Ye Zhen!
An eighteenfold increase!
Of course, this is also closely related to Ye Zhen’s current cultivation having reached the Ninth Stage Establishment.
It’s not to say that Ye Zhen’s cultivation speed has thus increased eighteenfold.
Because half of the spiritual power from the Psychic Spirit Pill that Ye Zhen refines is sent throughout his body to continue strengthening and cultivating the Black Dragon Tyrant Body.
Measured this way, an increase of about ninefold is still present.
This discovery made Ye Zhen extremely delighted.
Although the Black Dragon Tyrant Body had not yet been tested in combat, the benefits it brought alone were already worth it.
Moreover, it made Ye Zhen’s originally extremely arduous fast-track journey much easier than expected!
Sensing the decreasing concentration of Ying Dragon Essence Blood within the great cauldron, the eyes-closed Ye Zhen shouted again, “More elixir, more elixir!”
Zhao Zhong, overseeing beside him, trembled slightly at his lips and hurriedly poured another barrel of Ying Dragon Essence Blood.
It was then that Zhao Zhong realized the 1,000 boxes of gemstone and pearl he had received earlier were getting more troublesome.
Since the end of ten days of secret technique cultivation, Ye Zhen’s demand for Dragon Clan Blood Essence had been continuously increasing, consuming a total of more than 1,300 barrels of Ying Dragon Essence Blood so far.
Up to today, practically every two hours, four barrels of Ying Dragon Essence Blood need to be added.
This quantity made Zhao Zhong fearful!
Under normal circumstances, one hundred barrels of Ying Dragon Essence Blood should be sufficient to fast-track a Ninth Stage Dao Entrance Realm peak existence, but now, how many barrels has Ye Zhen consumed?
1,321 barrels!
And this doesn’t even include the True Dragon Essence Blood, a single barrel of which was equivalent to several hundred barrels of Ying Dragon Essence Blood!
If it weren’t for witnessing Ye Zhen personally absorbing these Dragon Clan Blood Essences, Zhao Zhong wouldn’t dare take on this task.
The consumption was truly enormous!
Frankly speaking, the total amount of resources Ye Zhen consumed in these two months could fast-track 100,000 Ninth Stage Establishment beings for Zhao Zhong.
But now, it was only Ye Zhen accomplished!
However, Zhao Zhong couldn’t even imagine that what he was fast-tracking this time was not one person but two!
Inside the great cauldron, aside from Ye Zhen, there was another being, like a bottomless pit, crazily absorbing the power within the Dragon Clan Blood Essence—a Little Demon like a bottomless pit.
It was an Ancient Giant Spirit Tree Tree Demon possessing the Royal Bloodline of the Ancient Giant Spirit Tree.
It happened to be one with Ye Zhen, with tender branches like tentacles extending from every pore of Ye Zhen’s body, plundering the vast spiritual power within the Dragon Clan Blood Essence like Ye Zhen himself was absorbing it.
Zhao Zhong, staring intently at Ye Zhen’s entire body, couldn’t discern anything amiss!
It could be almost said that, except for ten barrels of True Dragon Essence Blood, over 1,300 barrels of Ying Dragon Essence Blood, and the countless energies from rare medicinal materials invested by Zhao Zhong, nearly eighty percent were absorbed by the Little Demon.
The cultivation aura of the Little Demon also reached an unprecedentedly terrifying level, even surpassing the cultivation of the Demon Marshal within Ye Zhen’s Mirage Dragon Pearl.
Second Stage of Divine Communication Realm!
A day later, after Zhao Zhong poured the last barrel of Ying Dragon Essence Blood, he joyfully cheered, “It’s accomplished, Peak Ninth Stage Establishment—my task is complete!”
“Captain Ye, let’s go, wash up quickly, come with me to report back to the Marquis!”
At the moment Ye Zhen rose, a reluctant voice came from the Spirit Palace within, “Father, just two more days of cultivation, and my cultivation can advance another stage!”
