Twilight dyed the back mountain, the last wisp of sunset faded away, and the night slowly descended.
Inside the bamboo building, in the medicinal bath, Lu Xiao opened his eyes.
He slowly stood up, the warm medicinal soup streaming down his firm back and dripping onto the ground along his waistline.
The soreness and fatigue accumulated in his body over many days were mostly dissolved by the medicinal power of this pool.
Lu Xiao raised his arms to stretch, leaning his back back slightly, and a series of dense and crisp popping sounds suddenly burst out from his muscles and bones all over his body.
He let out a long breath of turbid air, casually put on a coarse cloth outer garment, tied his belt, and walked slowly into the cultivation room.
Lu Xiao sat cross-legged steadily with the five hearts facing the sky, his mind quickly settling down, discarding distracting thoughts, and urging the Body Sect Innate Secret Technique to run a full cycle.
The medicinal power that originally wandered scattered through his limbs and bones was now rapidly gathered along the secret technique’s circulation route, slowly spiraling and rising from the Dantian.
A layer of warm and heavy bronze faint light slowly rippled from the surface of the panel, wandering along the Meridians and constantly solidifying.
As the faint light circulated, his flesh, blood, muscles, and bones were repeatedly polished and tempered under the nourishment of the medicinal power.
The originally loose Soul Power was compressed and purified by the Innate Secret Technique, becoming increasingly pure and solid, and his Physical Body strength climbed steadily along with the refinement of the medicinal power!
Heaven and earth Origin Qi gathered toward the cultivation room, pouring into his body through his pores to assist him in digesting the residual medicinal power.
I do not know how long had passed, but the last trace of residual medicinal strength in his body completely fused with his own Soul Power and Physical Body, and the bronze light on his body surface slowly converged inward.
Lu Xiao’s eyes suddenly opened, and the aura around his body was restrained and steady.
He sat upright without moving, his mind completely emptied, and his consciousness sank directly into the Sea of Consciousness.
Hum—,
A subtle tremor of the divine soul quietly sounded deep in his mind.
The Sea of Consciousness, which was originally gray and hazy with only a thin layer of Soul Power light screen, was suddenly completely illuminated by a dazzling golden light!
The entire Sea of Consciousness surged with wind and clouds, spreading into a clear and vast divine soul heaven and earth.
[Do you want to open the “Soul Master” gift package?]
The familiar mechanical voice sounded.
Lu Xiao’s consciousness floated in the center of the Sea of Consciousness, looking at the translucent golden light screen that suddenly appeared before his eyes, a calm joy flashed across the bottom of his eyes.
“Open it immediately!”
Lu Xiao’s mind stirred, and without the slightest hesitation, he directly issued an order.
[Reward host: Ten golden dragon blood origin pills, “Nine Styles of the Golden Dragon”, Shennong Hundred Herbs Elixir Manual]
As the words fell, the golden light screen trembled violently.
Two completely different dazzling radiances gushed out from the light screen!
One was domineering and fervent, like an archaic true dragon soaring into the air, with burning golden light!
The other was warm and verdant, resembling an eternal medicinal field spreading out, full of vitality!
The roar shook the entire Sea of Consciousness, and the clear divine soul heaven and earth was instantly covered with golden and green divine light.
Winds and clouds surged, and Dao patterns flowed!
The first to descend was “Nine Styles of the Golden Dragon”!
A quaint Dao book gilded all over slowly condensed and formed from the golden light screen!
This ultimate unique skill originated from the later generations’ Dragon Emperor Douluo Tang Wulin.
After learning the Crimson Dragon Nine Styles self-created by Zhuoshi, it evolved into his own exclusive ultimate technique, which could be said to be the best way to utilize the Golden Dragon King’s Bloodline and Qi strength!
After being adapted and improved by the System, it became the exclusive battle skill most compatible with Lu Xiao!
The Dao book flipped in the air, and as pages fluttered, endless golden Dao charm poured back like a river, flowing directly into the depths of his mind along his Soul Origin!
Boom!
Massive martial arts insights, true dragon Profound Truths, and killing Moves poured into Lu Xiao’s consciousness without any obstruction, like divine enlightenment.
In an instant, countless images flashed rapidly in his divine soul.
The nine-style dragon-shaped battle skills, every Move was fierce and lethal, every style was overwhelmingly domineering, encompassing all the essences of close combat, Physical Body tempering, movement Teleportation, and suppressing enemies.
Lu Xiao sat upright without moving, his mind immersed in it, feeling that his whole body’s Bloodline was spontaneously resonating.
The originally steady and heavy Physical Body strength suddenly gained an extra layer of domineering dragon might that looked down upon all living beings!
After “Nine Styles of the Golden Dragon” was branded deep in Lu Xiao’s Soul, the verdant radiance suspended beside it suddenly bloomed, full of boundless vitality.
A green, quaint, and heavy elixir manual slowly unfolded, which was precisely the Shennong Hundred Herbs Elixir Manual!
The surface of the elixir manual seemed to carry ancient mountains and thousands of years of medicinal marsh.
The mellow elixir fragrance overflowed the Sea of Consciousness, calming the mind, stabilizing the Soul, and nourishing the divine soul.
On the elixir manual, patterns slowly circulated, derived from endless true meanings of the medicinal Dao.
The next instant, the elixir manual suddenly spread out, turning into sky-full emerald green light spots, as fine and soft as rain, fully integrating into Lu Xiao’s divine soul Origin.
In a flash, the boundless medicinal Dao knowledge and elixir Dao essence poured madly into his mind.
The moment the two legacies completely fused with his body, Lu Xiao’s eyelashes trembled slightly, and his tightly closed eyes slowly opened!
In the Sea of Consciousness, ten round, plump, and shimmering golden dragon blood origin pills floated quietly.
The elixir body was reddish gold, entwined with dragon patterns, and its blood Qi was pure and domineering!
[golden dragon blood origin pill: Refined by the System by forcibly extracting a portion of the God Realm Golden Dragon King’s divine Origin power, it can enhance the host’s blood Qi and reshape the blood Qi Origin!]
Seeing the System’s annotation, towering waves stirred in the bottom of Lu Xiao’s heart, and his steady state of mind almost failed.
Compared to these ten Divine Pills, “Nine Styles of the Golden Dragon” and the Shennong Hundred Herbs Elixir Manual were both slightly inferior.
The System is still Silver Wing!!!
Lu Xiao sorted out the massive new knowledge in his mind, calmed his emotions, and stood up gently.
His footsteps were light and silent when they landed, and stepping on the bamboo floor didn’t make a sound at all.
What made him a bit regretful was that his body could not yet withstand the medicinal power of the golden dragon blood origin pill, and he could not swallow it to Cultivate!
Pushing open the bamboo door of the cultivation room, the warmth of the bonfire in the back mountain and the rich aroma of roasted meat rushed over his face.
On the open space below, Du Busi was leisurely turning the giant beast leg set on the fire, the grease sizzling and rolling down into the bonfire, and the aroma overflowed.
Xiao Wu squatted aside, supporting her cheeks while staring at the roasted meat, reaching out from time to time to fan away the drifting heat.
Du Busi glanced at Lu Xiao and nodded with satisfaction, “According to this progress, you can open the Body Awakening again very soon!”
Lu Xiao smiled faintly, sat directly beside Du Busi, and waited for dinner.
Notting Academy Dean’s Office.
Ning Fengzhi was talking with the Notting Academy Dean about something, and Gu Rong sat quietly aside.
Only the young Ning Rongrong could not endure the boredom of sitting still.
Taking advantage of the two elders being distracted, she quietly lifted the tent curtain, stepped in her small boots, and bolted toward the back mountain.
The closer she got to the back mountain, the more intense the captivating aroma of roasted meat became.
She was already starving, and at this moment her cravings could no longer be suppressed.
Ning Rongrong’s nose twitched constantly, her soft and cute face full of yearning, and her footsteps uncontrollably rushed toward the source of the aroma.
The fine grass leaves in the forest stained her exquisite skirt hem, but she didn’t care at all.
Before long, a small figure clung to the dwarf bushes at the edge of the back mountain’s bamboo forest, sticking out half of her fluffy little head.
A pair of glaze-like big eyes stared fixedly at the sizzling roasted meat by the bonfire, and her saliva almost flowed down the corners of her mouth.
But she did not act rashly, looking timidly at the powerfully auraed Du Busi, not daring to step forward rashly, only shrinking behind a tree to peek secretly, her gaze involuntarily falling on Lu Xiao again.
Little did she know that the moment she stepped into the back mountain, she had already been noticed by Du Busi.
Du Busi puckered his lips toward Ning Rongrong’s direction.
Lu Xiao understood tacitly, catching a glimpse of that snow-white dress in the bushes out of the corner of his eye, instantly recognizing it as Ning Rongrong, the little princess of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect, and couldn’t help chuckling softly.
The current Ning Rongrong was nothing more than a deeply pampered child.
Lu Xiao raised his hand and lifted his chin toward the bushes: “What are you hiding for?
Come over if you want to eat roasted meat, watch out for mosquitoes sucking you dry while crouching in the bushes.”
Caught red-handed in her hiding place, Ning Rongrong’s cheeks flushed red.
Clutching her skirt hem, she dawdled out from behind the tree, shuffling step by step to the outer edge of the bonfire.
“S-Senior, I…
I came over after smelling the aroma, can you share a small piece of meat with me?”
Du Busi glanced at this gluttonous little girl.
Seeing her pitiful appearance, he didn’t put on the airs of a Sect Master, casually cutting off a piece of roasted meat that was crispy, fragrant, tender, and rotten, and handing it over on a clean bamboo piece.
“Take it and eat, chew slowly, don’t burn your tongue.”
“Thank you, Senior!”
Ning Rongrong formally performed aristocratic etiquette, took the warm roasted meat with both hands, and took a bite.
The meat juices burst in her mouth, and a sense of happiness instantly filled her small face.
While chewing in small bites, she secretly sized up Lu Xiao.
Ever since she first saw Lu Xiao, she could smell an extremely pleasant scent.
Like a cool breeze after a mountain rain, warm and cool, yet it inexplicably made one feel secure.
