Chapter 156 Dragon Blood Bath, Phoenix Perching on Wutong Tree

Under Xiao Long's strenuous resistance, he was forcibly stripped naked and thrown into this scalding body-tempering liquid.

Dragon Blood Body Tempering Liquid was a pill recipe that Chu Yang had salvaged from the [Land of Fallen Dragons], and the dragon blood was also found there.

Although some fortuitous encounters had been brought out in advance, they could not consume everything within.

He was still thinking about letting those who achieved good rankings in the trial experience this Dragon Blood Body Tempering Liquid.

The effect of this thing was also very simple: it enhanced qi and blood and improved physical fitness.

Moreover, it also had many benefits for meridian expansion and aptitude improvement.

Zhang Xiaohu needed it quite a bit, as his talent was truly abysmal. Oh, and Luo Xiaowei; that kid had been a bit too arrogant lately, so let him be anxious for a while.

Of course, it was currently prepared for Xiao Long.

"Wow! It's too hot! I'm going to be cooked! What kind of human suffering is this? Immortal Brother! Chu Lord! Good Master! I'm still a child!"

The vast dragon blood essence, through a chemical reaction with various medicinal ingredients, erupted with a strong radiance, and the faint sound of dragon roars could be heard.

A violent power drilled into Xiao Long's body from his pores, but it was just too hot, like he was truly being cooked.

Chu Yang, however, commanded, "Don't make noise! Hold your breath and focus, circulate the "Chaos Scripture"! Try to evolve the power contained within this dragon blood force."

Xiao Long struggled and cried out, "But it's too hot, too hot, it hurts so much, I'm going to die!"

Chu Yang frowned and looked at Xue Qianwei, "Do you have any Serenity Pills?"

"Yes, yes!"

Xue Qianwei quickly handed a bottle to Chu Yang, and it was of top-grade quality, making Chu Yang raise an eyebrow.

Boss Xue put one hand on her hip and flicked her hair with the other, saying proudly, "Actually, top-grade pills are nothing special, they're just easy to make, just like that~"

Chu Yang was at a loss for words for a moment. After pondering for a moment, he uttered two words that symbolized the highest human praise,

"Awesome!"

Then, he crushed a Serenity Pill, turning it into pure medicinal power, and flicked it into Xiao Long's body.

The fearful and restless heart quickly calmed down, and he could finally proceed according to Chu Yang's instructions.

The body-tempering liquid submerged up to his neck. He closed his eyes, endured the pain, and began to circulate the "Chaos Scripture."

With just one circulation of the heavenly cycle, Xiao Long's Chaos Physique was immediately activated.

Instantly, the entire alchemy room was enveloped in a visual pollution.

The dragon power that erupted from the body-tempering liquid contained a trace of the true intent of this giant dragon.

This giant dragon was an eighth-order Lightning Dragon during its life. An eighth-order giant dragon's strength was already comparable to the peak of a human Mahayana stage cultivator.

Although demonic beasts possessed terrifying physical talent, their comprehension was relatively poor, and it was rare for demonic beasts to achieve immortality.

And if the dragon's physique was combined with human comprehension...

This was what Chu Yang was thinking about: to forge Xiao Long into the most perfect state possible. Once his cultivation improved a bit, he could finally relax.

Lightning began to bloom here, and faint roars of lightning dragons could be heard.

This was Xiao Long evolving the power of the Lightning Dragon within the dragon blood. Regardless of his strength, the special effects were certainly there.

Although it was the absorption of medicinal power, it was still a very painful process, a hundred times more painful than the training Chu Yang had made him do before.

In this situation, it was akin to Xiao Long being refined as a medicinal pill by Xue Qianwei.

To provide him with a better absorption environment, Chu Yang was also using more than a dozen top-grade spirit stones to create a small spirit gathering array near the alchemy furnace.

Xue Qianwei said in shock, "My goodness, is he your illegitimate son? Treating him so well? If Da Teng Ge and the others found out, wouldn't they be so angry they'd spit blood?"

Chu Yang spread his hands and said helplessly, "He already calls me master, and he's still a little kid. What else can I do?"

...

"Yingxue, take these magical artifacts. Go to the [Hundred Weapons Workshop] and exchange them for a weapon you can handle, otherwise, you won't be able to display your full strength!"

Wang Zhicheng held a pile of magical artifacts and earnestly persuaded Shen Yingxue.

Shen Yingxue had chosen the "Imperial Sky Zither Art," which was a very new method. However, without a zither-type weapon, she couldn't exert much power.

Could she just rely on her eyes to stare people to death?

Shen Yingxue still refused, "No, Uncle Wang, I've already checked. These items are very valuable. We've already received so much help, we can't take any more..."

"Girl, Uncle tells you, this is the treatment our country provides for talented individuals. You should already know about the events three years from now, right? You are the future hope of our humanity. Cultivating you is not just supported by our Xia Nation, but by all of humanity. You don't need to feel burdened!"

"But Li Qingyun and Luo Xiaowei, these things they got by fighting for them themselves. Immortal Brother also said that we must strive for our own opportunities..."

"Bah, that's because... we gave them, and those guys didn't care!"

Old Wang was about to cry. It wasn't that he didn't want to give them preferential treatment, but rather that they weren't qualified to receive it.

What was the strength of the Golden Core stage? A Golden Core stage genius like Li Qingyun could already resist a nuclear bomb. What more could they offer them?

"But I..."

"Sister, Uncle Wang just returned yesterday from those secret realms and tricked... ah no, bought a large number of magical artifacts. The higher-ups have already given the order that these magical artifacts are for geniuses like you. Do you want to see Uncle Wang get demoted?"

Shen Yingxue: "???"

After a period of hesitation, Shen Yingxue reluctantly accepted three magical artifacts, refusing more. She also said that she would return them once she could participate in those secret realm trials.

Then, in front of the [Hundred Weapons Workshop], Shen Yingxue placed three magical artifacts of average quality inside.

Suddenly, a purple light flashed, and for a moment, it was as if phoenixes were calling out.

A message entered Shen Yingxue's mind.

"Phoenix roosts on the phoenix tree, using an ancient phoenix tree as refining material, and phoenix feathers to forge the strings, containing the true intent of the phoenix."

The sudden special effects here attracted the attention of the surrounding people, and their eyes turned envious.

"One shot, perfect!"

"It's over, I just withdrew my hand, and I've become a stepping stone!"

"Holy crap, is the drop rate of this thing also related to aptitude? What a rip-off!"

"Don't be salty, Ah Wei also got a drop, even though he has average aptitude."

"Ah Wei says thank you. He still doesn't admit he has average aptitude."

"..."

Shen Yingxue, with a blush, somewhat ashamed, carried the zither away.

She had only recently recovered her sight and was not yet accustomed to so many people's gazes focused on her.
