Boom!

Countless tiny golden Legendary Dragons swam in the surging sea of blood within Ling Xiao’s blood vessels. When they gathered in the end, they were as striking as a golden sun.

Boom!

A thunderous sound could be heard as his blood and essential breath agglomerated at his chest. At last, it formed a bright and clear pearl of blood that glistened like gold.

Legendary Dragon’s Blood!

It was as if Ling Xiao had gone through a whole transformation. After the blood had circulated in his body, his flesh and bones were painted gold.

Moreover, faint dragon patterns could be seen on his skin. As countless spiritual energy gushed toward him, it enveloped him in a milky white shell.

Bam! Bam! Bam!

As if a gigantic heart was beating, every beat swept away endless spiritual energy. With that, Ling Xiao’s aura became increasingly stronger. He eliminated all mundane aura and returned to his innate impeccable state like a chicken in chaos.

Three days and three nights later, five hundred thousand Spiritual Stones were exhausted, and the giant white shell began to shatter.

Kacha!

Ling Xiao bore an incredibly strong aura the moment he walked out, and his body released an explosive force.

Just by holding his hand into a fist, an explosion was heard in the void.

“129,600 pounds! Not only was it in the millions, but it is also as strong and tough as a dragon and a tiger. According to my current physical force, I’m not at all inferior to masters in Dragon Tiger Boundary!”

Ling Xiao’s eyes shone; he was very satisfied with his cultivation result this time.

By refining five hundred thousand superior Spiritual Stones, not only did he cultivated the Legendary Dragon’s Body, but he had also progressed to third tier True Qi Boundary!

“That’s quite a scary consumption though!”

He shook his head and smiled bitterly. In fact, five hundred superior Spiritual Stones were enough for a martial artist to advance from Pulse Unsealing Boundary to Grandmaster Boundary.

Nonetheless, he had gained a huge reward.

In his ninety-nine feet Sea of Qi, three striking golden air cyclones spiraled slowly as they devoured the spiritual energy around.

Furthermore, the Legendary Dragon’s Body allowed Ling Xiao’s physical force to achieve a boundary that was out of the ordinary!

Although he was only at third tier True Qi Boundary, the fact that he also possessed a ninety-nine feet Sea of Qi and Legendary Dragon’s Body made him more superior than those in Spiritualization Boundary!

If he had to, he could also contend with masters in Dragon Tiger Boundary.

In his heart, the nine pearls of blood emitted golden rays that were like nine tiny Legendary Dragons — they were Legendary Dragon’s blood!

By the time all of Ling Xiao’s blood had transformed into Legendary Dragon’s blood, he could advance to the second tier of Ancestral Dragon Secret Technique.

Creak!

The secret room’s door opened.

Outside, Jiao Mu and Liu Piaopiao were extremely anxious, but once they saw Ling Xiao¹, they were pleasantly surprised.

“You… You actually advanced to third tier True Qi Boundary?”

Liu Piaopiao exclaimed as she was shocked.

Three days ago, Ling Xiao only had the cultivation of ninth tier Pulse Unsealing Boundary before he entered the secret room. However, three days later, he had advanced through three minor boundaries effortlessly. How could Liu Piaopiao stay calm?

It was worth noting that Liu Piaopiao spent seven days to advance from ninth tier Pulse Unsealing Boundary to True Qi Boundary, and she was known as a genius for her ability to pull that off.

She then spent nearly half a year to progress from first tier True Qi Boundary to third tier True Qi Boundary.

When she compared herself to Ling Xiao, she suddenly felt that her conception of the world had crumbled.

‘He’s a freak!’

“Honorable Master, there’s huge progress in your cultivation, this is worth celebrating!”

Jiao Mu laughed happily.

“Thank you for giving me the Seven Mystic Treasure Pill’s prescription. I’ve finally refined them successfully after three days!”

Afterward, he retrieved a jade box and poured out three longan-sized treasure pills. The pills were fragrant and shiny, and they had seven peculiar patterns on them.

“They really are Seven Mystic Treasure Pills! But they’re inferior treasure pills, and you’ve only refined them to average qualities?”

Ling Xiao frowned when he noticed.

Jiao Mu’s face reddened instantly. “Honorable Master, you’re right for lecturing me, I’m incapable. The spiritual herbs involved in this ancient treasure pill are too complicated, so I’m unfamiliar with them for now. Though these three Seven Mystic Treasure Pills are of average qualities, they’re enough for a martial artist in Dragon Tiger Boundary to advance to Grandmaster Boundary!”

Ling Xiao did not respond to him. Instead, he pressed the area between Jiao Mu’s eyebrows with one finger.

Although Jiao Mu was surprised, he accepted it calmly.

Subsequently, a wave of mental power flowed into him.

“This is… This is… Two Dragons Playing Pearl, the fire control method?”

As Jiao Mu exclaimed, his whole body shivered. Speechless, he was both grateful and thrilled.

“Since you’re my apprentice, you mustn’t be too weak even if you’re a registered disciple. Take some time to comprehend Two Dragons Playing Pearl, and I hope that you’ll be able to refine fine Seven Mystic Treasure Pills in the future!” Ling Xiao remarked.

“Thank you for the gift, Honorable Master!”

Jiao Mu bowed at Ling Xiao respectfully before he hurried toward the pill alchemy room. He could not wait to cultivate Two Dragons Playing Pearl, the fire control method.

“Ice skin, jade bones, and a genius’ body quality. You’ve advanced to Spiritualization Boundary, so it looks like the Dragon Transformation Pill was quite effective!”

Ling Xiao was rather surprised when he saw Liu Piaopiao.

Liu Piaopiao was previously at the peak of ninth tier True Qi Boundary. After consuming the Dragon Transformation Pill that was given by him, not only was she reborn, but she too had advanced to first tier Spiritualization Boundary.

Nevertheless, the pill’s effect was not as absurd for her since she did not cultivate Ancestral Dragon Secret Technique.

Liu Piaopiao blushed. She was extremely curious about the young man whom even Great Master Jiao Mu was willing to acknowledge as a master.

‘Which sect has the ability to produce such a freaky disciple?’

“I… I’m very free now, I’ll follow you to protect you, Honorable Master!”

She uttered softly as she was shy, yet she was not going to call him her grand master no matter what.

“Protect me?”

Ling Xiao could not help but laugh. He then used his finger to hold Liu Piaopiao’s chin up mischievously.

“You’re quite good-looking. Jiao Mu asked you to serve me, so be a good maid, and I won’t treat you badly!”

“Rogue!”

Liu Piaopiao turned her head to get Ling Xiao’s finger off her chin.

“Hahaha…”

Ling Xiao burst out laughing. He then walked out with his hands behind his back.

Liu Piaopiao stomped her feet angrily but had no choice but to follow him.

‘It’s time for me to return to Longevity Sect!’ Ling Xiao thought to himself.

Thus, he headed toward Longevity Sect once he left Spiritual Herb Pavilion.
