Chapter 515: Dragon Blood Pill (2)

dical arts always requires herbs that are never fully satisfied with what's available; in other words, no matter how much money they collect, it'll never be enough!!Xiaoyao now clearly understands one...Chapter 515 Dragon Blood Pill 2

This was why the Lion's Strength might not be able to fully utilize the power that Xianyao possessed. Because part of the Lion's Strength relied on inner qi, now Xianyao wanted to perfect this method in order to fully unleash this strength as his secret trump card.

In the past, the Lion's Strength was also his secret trump card; although he had never used it, because there was no opportunity for him to do so. Using the Lion's Strength would greatly enhance his power, but since he did not have lion bloodline heritage, using this strength came with a limit.

Now things seemed different, as this vital energy and blood qi were already part of his body, allowing him to use it continuously until he ran out of energy.

What Xianyao needed to do now was refine the application method for this qi strength. He had some ideas about it; he could start from external skills, which are also cultivation methods for physical training.

A type of training focused on body conditioning is a very powerful cultivation method that improves strength through body refinement and uses the body as a weapon. However, it's too arduous, gradually fading into oblivion. Currently, internal qi cultivation takes precedence with external skills as supplementary; balancing both internal and external training is also an excellent approach to mitigate the hardships of physical training while retaining its power, though not to such extreme degrees.

Although a complete set of body conditioning cultivation methods might be hard to find, those that incorporate elements of body conditioning are easily accessible. From this alone, he could learn enough for his needs; Xianyao did not aim to become the strongest but rather to continuously progress and grow, regardless of whether each step was long or short.

Among the cultivation methods Xianyao knew about, there were also many that pertained to body conditioning techniques, which he had already incorporated into his practice. His previous state of insight also helped him integrate all this knowledge.

Sitting in meditation until dawn, Xianyao returned to Moon-view Peak. He wasn't concerned about others worrying about him but felt the need to show up and check on Shadow Moon Valley's library collection; perhaps there were good things within the Demon Sect that he looked forward to finding.

When he arrived at Moon-view Peak, he overheard a conversation among Qi Bupo’s family.

"Still no news. Where did Xianyao go Did he return to the Luo Family Even if he went back, there should be some information." Said Qi Bupo.

"He must still not have left. He's probably like me, in the middle of a breakthrough. Just don't know where," said Qi Yanran.

“Even if it’s a breakthrough, could he possibly lag behind you You’ve even surpassed the god realm barrier; what can’t he pass that has kept him away so long” Qi Bupo frowned.

At this point, Qi Yanran had indeed reached the god realm. Xianyao's dragon blood pill played a crucial part in her advancement, though it wasn't entirely due to the pill’s power but rather because Qi Yanran was already on the brink of breakthrough, with the dragon blood pill merely giving an extra boost.

“Maybe he’s just playing somewhere. He looks like quite the prankster,” said Qi Yanran nonchalantly, feeling that Xianyao wasn’t the type to warrant worry from others.

"Cough cough…" Xianyao cleared his throat a few times, signaling his presence. He hadn't stopped meditating and had no intention of eavesdropping.

“Ah! Xianyao, you’re back! I was so worried about you,” Qi Yanran rushed to him with an expression of concern.

"Sister, I heard what you said. You seem unconcerned," replied Xianyao somewhat speechless.

“Worry is in my heart; you wouldn’t be able to tell.” Said Qi Yanran.

“I don't want to bother with this. Congratulations on breaking through,” said Xianyao.

"Hehe, of course! In the future if you have any trouble, just come to your sister and I’ll take care of everything," Qi Yanran laughed heartily; now she had confidence—a god realm practitioner was akin to a major power.

“I thank you in advance then,” Xianyao immediately said.

“No need for formalities, we’re siblings after all,” said Qi Yanran, patting Xianyao on the shoulder with sisterly affection.

"You should thank Xianyao. He gave you a dragon blood pill that helped you break through," said Qi Bupo irritably. This daughter of his was becoming increasingly unlike herself; however, he couldn't intervene now—she had grown too strong.

“Father, can’t say it like this. It’s the result of my hard work. The dragon blood pill is only supportive, and as a younger brother, it's natural for him to give something back to his elder sister,” said Qi Yanran without feeling any need to return favors; she felt it was just right.

"You know what Since your little brother gave you something, shouldn't there be some token of appreciation from the big sister" Said Xiao Yizhuu as she pinched Qi Yanran's cheek and smiled.

“What he wants, I’ll give him. I’m very generous,” said Qi Yanran grandly.

"I’d like a Dragon Blood Stone Essence; get it for me," Xianyao was also not polite about his request.

“No problem, leave it to me. As soon as I find one, you’ll have it right away,” Qi Yanran immediately agreed. She thought this might be challenging but possible—she could get him a dragon blood stone essence when the opportunity arose; she didn't know that some things were serendipitous, with only once chance in life.

"Thank you then," said Xianyao smilingly. This was an opportunity worth noting; better to have it noticed than not.

“You two stop fooling around. Xianyao, where have you been recently” Qi Bupo asked.

“I went into seclusion. By the way, how long has that day passed I lost track of time,” answered Xianyao before asking another question himself.

"It's been two months..."

"What!" Xiāo Yáo was surprised, "Two months have passed You're not joking, right I feel like it could only be a few days at most"

"I'm not joking. Yānrán just came out of seclusion recently; she spent fifty days in it before breaking through." Qí Bùpò shook his head. He understood that Xiāo Yáo was unaware of the passage of time.

"This..." Xiāo Yáo fell silent, right, Yānrán had already come out after breaking through to the Divine realm, fifty days was quite short, others could be in seclusion for a year, but as long as they broke through, even being in seclusion for years would not be an issue.

He didn't expect so much time to have passed, but upon reflection, it made sense. He had consumed over twenty Dragon Blood Pills and the initial refinement was faster, but the speed slowed down towards the end, perhaps he did need that long of a period, this wasn't particularly surprising.

"Well then, now that two more months have passed, along with my previous three months, I only need seven months to notify them," Xiāo Yáo quickly adjusted and said smilingly.

"The time isn't calculated like that, it's a year from when we talked about this, there are still ten months left." Qí Bùpò immediately spoke up; he wanted the matter settled as late as possible, especially since his original intention was for them to wait until then.

"You mean make him endure a whole year Then it should be calculated from that day at the palace," Xiāo Yáo corrected. Although he understood Qí Bùpò's meaning, that was exactly what he meant.

"That’s not how it’s calculated." Qí Bùpò said.

"I don't care; in any case, after seven months I'll notify them. You shouldn’t mind these three months, you're a big shot, does it make sense to be petty over this" Xiāo Yáo spoke with some disdain.

“…” "Alright then, let's go with your calculation…" Qí Bùpò was left speechless but if he continued arguing, that would seem too petty. Alright, fine then, anyway the hardest part is done already.

"What are you guys talking about" Yānrán asked confusedly; she hadn’t heard about this matter back then.

"Nothing much, just trying to keep Xiāo Yáo here for longer. What do you think he should stay for" Qí Bùpò threw the topic over to Yānrán; he knew she would give him a satisfactory answer.

“Of course the longer the better, it's rare I have such a brother; let’s see how long he wants to stay,” Yānrán said.

"…"

Come on, what exactly am I to her Playing until she gets tired of me, does that mean I’m some toy

“That's right, originally, he wanted to leave, and I made him stay at least a year. He wasn’t happy about it, so I had to give him a piece of my mind,” Qí Bùpò said.

"A whole year is too long…" Yānrán shook her head.

“” Xiāo Yáo was somewhat taken aback; he hadn’t expected Qí Yānrán to say this. He felt touched, but soon decided that his feelings of being moved should be thrown away.

"In a few months I want him to accompany me there," Yānrán said.

“I’d rather stay here and go into seclusion,” Xiāo Yáo immediately said; he didn’t wish to accompany Yānrán, no matter what she did, it couldn't be good for him.

"A wise choice!" Qí Bùpò praised.

“You… you don’t want to go yourself, why should Xiāo Yáo accompany Yānrán This could also be quite interesting; Xiāo Yáo should go and see for himself,” Xiāo Yīzhú said.

"That's right, it’s very fun at that time, there will be many little devil girls coming over, if you fancy any of them, I'll take care of it," Yānrán said smilingly, patting her chest and promising to help Xiāo Yáo find a few devil girl wives regardless of his wishes.

"Devil girls" Xiāo Yáo was somewhat confused; he would go if the matter was fun, but what were these little devil girls

“This is an important event for our demonic sect. Many people will come, quite a few of them being small devil girls who are not bad and could make good wives,” Qí Bùpò nodded in agreement; he did agree with this point as it seemed that was how he had met Xiāo Yīzhú back then.

"Humph, you’re the one corrupting the young," Xiāo Yīzhú said crossly. "I still can't figure out why I ended up with you."

“Same here; when there were so many devil girls to choose from back then, how did I end up picking you” Qí Bùpò retorted.

"Taking a bath…" Xiāo Yáo immediately chose to leave and let them have their moment alone.

Although Qí Bùpò et al had more questions for Xiāo Yáo, he was back now and there'd be plenty of opportunities in the future; they weren’t worried about it at this particular time.

(To Be Continued)l Xuan Yao can say is that it truly is a bit scarce in number and lacking in quality!The herbs on this land are far more abundant than those of Divine Martial Continent because the primordial energy i...
