Chapter 1085: Chapter 1085: Dragon Soul Fruit
Huang Daoqi watched him eat the Dragon Soul Fruit without any guard up and nodded with satisfaction, saying, “This is the Dragon Soul Fruit, a truly rare and magnificent treasure. It is native to the most mysterious place on our Sky Dragon Planet. That is also where our esteemed Dragon Knights practice their cultivation. These two fruits were brought by the Moke Dragon Knight this time and were specifically given to me to pass onto you to assist in starting your Body Refining cultivation. They should double the effects of your efforts. When I first ate one, it took some time to digest and absorb. Using the method of Tempering to digest it would yield the best results. You should start cultivating right away. Before you emerge from seclusion, no one will disturb you.”
Lan Xuanyu and Bai Xiuxiu sat down facing each other with their legs crossed, as they weren’t yet able to start their cultivation, because the potency of the Dragon Soul Fruit was simply too fierce.
Lan Xuanyu had eaten many heavenly and earthly treasures before and even refined his body within the Ice Fire Polarized Eyes on Senluo Star, but never had he experienced such an intense effect as he was right now.
Huang Daoqi nodded contentedly, turned around, and walked out of the Dragon Power Hall, leaving the two of them alone.
Lan Xuanyu’s aura radiated outwards as he connected with Bai Xiuxiu through the power of his own bloodline, influencing her bloodline aura with his own.
At this moment, both of them could feel their blood fiercely boiling in every part of their bodies, the medicinal power of the Dragon Soul Fruit rapidly integrating into every corner.
The dragon roar within their bodies echoed tumultuously, surging wildly. Yet remarkably, the boiling of their blood did not cause discomfort; instead, there was a mild burning sensation, but their bodies seemed to be undergoing a sublime transformation. Impurities within seemed to be constantly dissipating amid the burning.
“Practice according to the Dragon Power Refining method,” Lan Xuanyu said to Bai Xiuxiu, though speaking was somewhat hard. As he spoke, he took hold of Bai Xiuxiu’s hands. His Dragon God’s bloodline was the first to activate, guiding the boiling bloodline aura to begin dispersing throughout their extremities and body.
The Dragon Knight Cultivation Method spoke of a process from outside to inside, in the truest sense — from the skin to the muscles, from the muscles to the bones, from the limbs to the torso.
The dispersed power of the bloodline turned their bodies crimson in an instant. Both could clearly feel the changes occurring.
The boiling of their bloodlines this time was not self-ignited; it did not burn their own blood, but was entirely due to the effect of the Dragon Soul Fruit. This indicated how potent the Dragon Soul Fruit was. Most peculiarly, the burning power of the bloodline caused by the Dragon Soul Fruit did not harm them but instead nourished their bodies.
What they did not know was that the Dragon Blood Tree Juice, like the Dragon Soul Fruit, could only be consumed by those with the dragon bloodline. Any other creature that tried to take it would instantly die explosively.
The preciousness of the Dragon Soul Fruit far surpassed that of the Dragon Blood Tree Juice. Only high-ranking members of the Dragon Clan could possibly consume it when they first began their Dragon Power Refining practice.
In the Imperial family, only Huang Daoqi and his son Huang Yuanlang had consumed it. Even Huang Yuanlang’s younger brothers and sisters were not qualified to consume the Dragon Soul Fruit due to issues of aptitude.
The greatest benefit of cultivating with the Dragon Soul Fruit was that one did not need to truly burn one’s bloodline yet could feel the effects of refining oneself after such burning, making it easier for the cultivator to grasp the concept and sensation of tempering.
This was the feeling in which Lan Xuanyu and Bai Xiuxiu were now immersed. The effect of Body Refining was much better than expected. They could sense their bodies subtly transforming. During this process of tempering, Bai Xiuxiu’s experience was even more profound than Lan Xuanyu’s.
Lan Xuanyu possessed the Dragon God’s bloodline, a combination of two Dragon King bloodlines; none could compare with the strength of his dragon bloodline. While the effect of the Dragon Soul Fruit was excellent, it was significantly different from when he would burn his own bloodline. And whenever he broke through in the past, he would undergo great pain. Thus, even though he could feel his body getting stronger, the change was not particularly immense.
However, it was different for Bai Xiuxiu. She evolved from the Devil Soul Great White Shark, and within the power of the Abyss Ice Demon Dragon, there was also the strength of the Demon Queen. And even the Demon Queen’s bloodline strength could not compare to Lan Xuanyu’s. Under the effect of the Dragon Soul Fruit, the refinement of her own self gave her the sensation of evolution, akin to a snake shedding its skin.
Soon, both entered a state of self-forgetfulness.
After an unknown length of time, Bai Xiuxiu awoke from her deep slumber. But when she opened her eyes, she was surprised to find that Lan Xuanyu was no longer by her side. In the entire Dragon Power Hall, she was the only one left.
“Xuanyu…” She almost subconsciously called out Lan Xuanyu’s name, but then she suddenly realized where she was and hurriedly stopped herself.
She looked around, on guard, and saw that there was no one else around. Only then did she condense her spirit and check the changes in her body.
Bai Xiuxiu found that her bloodline power had become significantly stronger. Especially the new core that had appeared in her Dantian had doubled in size. The strangest change was that her Soul Power and bloodline power seemed to have overlapped to some extent and could no longer be distinguished from each other. Her body also felt somewhat different.
Was the Dragon Power Refining method so domineering?
She did not try to contact Lan Xuanyu in this place, but stood up and moved around.
She felt as light as a feather, as if her body was not affected by any force. She had a strange feeling all over, as if her body was no longer her own. She looked at her palms.
The skin on the back of her hand was crystal clear, with a faint red halo. Her body temperature was obviously higher than usual. The most apparent was the growth of her bloodline power inside her body. Even her Sea of Spirit seemed to have expanded somehow.
Since the Demon Queen had completely merged with her, she had disappeared. She would have to wait until she broke through to God Rank in the future for her to awaken again. So now she had no one to inquire about her condition, but the overall improvement in her cultivation was certain.
Stepping out of the Dragon Power Hall, there were servants waiting outside, who immediately offered her drinks and fruit.
Bai Xiuxiu didn’t care to eat or drink, asking the servant, “Where’s my sister?”
“Lord Lan left three days ago,” the servant hurriedly spoke. “She said to return to her place first to consolidate her own strength. She said it was fine for you to go home after you woke up.”
Bai Xiuxiu frowned slightly. Lan Xuanyu hadn’t waited for her? This was not like his style. It was at that moment that a sudden insight flashed through her mind, and she immediately understood. Without further delay, she strode outside.
Once she was outside the City Lord Manor, she did not hide anything and directly released her Martial Soul True Body, transforming into the Abyss Ice Devil Dragon and soaring into the sky.
Once transformed into her dragon form, Bai Xiuxiu immediately felt the difference. She discovered her body had grown by more than ten percent. With just a flap of her wings, she already soared high into the sky. The circulation of bloodline power within her, especially in her dragon wings, was the most noticeable. The resistance from the wind was easily broken, and her body exuded a strong presence from the inside out.
Was this the enhancement after Body Refining?
In her senses, it seemed like only a dozen flaps of her dragon wings were needed before she saw her residence. As she drew her wings in, she dove down. She brought a gust of wind with her and headed straight for the round roof of the main building. Just before reaching the dome, her wings opened abruptly, effortlessly dissipating the momentum. The round roof opened, and she descended from the sky, having already shifted back to human form as she fell.
As soon as she set foot on solid ground, a smile spread across her face as she saw a familiar figure. Not only was Lan Xuanyu there, but Tang Yuge, Yuanen Huihui, Qian Lei, and Lan Mengqin were also present. Only Liu Feng was not there.
That was what she had realized just now; they and their companions had set up a time. Lan Xuanyu had left early, surely to meet their companions coming back from space.
“Finished cultivating?” Lan Xuanyu asked her with a smile.
“Mm. I feel very different. How about you?” Bai Xiuxiu asked Lan Xuanyu.
