Chapter 154: Big Brother, I Want More!
Only by allowing a natural breakthrough can one's foundation be solid. While Gu Fei helping Zi Yan would indeed speed up her progress, it would also leave many hidden dangers for her future.
Seeing Zi Yan enter a meditative state, Gu Fei shifted his attention to Cai Lin, Little Fairy Doctor, and the others.
"These are for you. After refining them, you'll benefit greatly as well."
As Gu Fei finished speaking, he distributed the remaining Dou Saint Bone Marrow pellets to everyone.
The Lion King looked at Gu Fei with anticipation, feeling a mix of nervousness and anxiety.
"Will I get one too…?"
Everyone hopes to obtain some kind of opportunity that allows for rapid improvement in strength. Especially for someone like the Lion King, whose talent is not particularly high and who might be stuck at the seventh rank for the rest of his life, such opportunities are even more precious.
"Are you worried you won't get one?" Cai Lin's voice suddenly whispered in the Lion King's ear. Being a fellow magical beast, Cai Lin could easily see through the Lion King's anxiety.
"You've followed my husband for quite some time now, don't you know his character?" She said softly, her eyes filled with affection as she looked at Gu Fei.
At this moment, Gu Fei walked over to them. One Dou Saint pellet flew into Cai Lin's hand, and another one floated in front of the Lion King.
"Is this really for me?" The Lion King could hardly believe it.
"Of course, go ahead and refine it!" Gu Fei replied with a smile.
"Thank you, Master!" The Lion King was overjoyed. After thanking Gu Fei, he immediately began to refine the Dou Saint pellet.
Not only the Lion King but also Venerable Tian Huo received a share.
Everyone present, except for the young Xian Yue and the Half-Saint Zhu Li, received a Dou Saint pellet and started refining it immediately.
After some time, a powerful burst of energy suddenly erupted, and a strong aura swept across the mountain peak, snapping the branches of some trees.
"Zi Yan broke through!"
The disturbance came from Zi Yan's breakthrough. To avoid affecting the others, Gu Fei quickly isolated the energy waves.
After completing her breakthrough, Zi Yan's surging aura gradually subsided, and she returned to a calm state.
Zi Yan opened her eyes and immediately lit up when she saw Gu Fei in front of her.
"Big Brother Gu Fei, is there any more of that Dou Saint Bone Marrow pellet? You know, it's quite tasty!" Zi Yan rushed to Gu Fei's side, playfully rummaging through his belongings.
Gu Fei gently pressed her little head, saying, "Does that stuff even have a taste? I won't burst your bubble."
Clearly, it was the feeling of a breakthrough that had captivated Zi Yan. If you talk about taste, even a sugar pill would beat it by miles.
Zi Yan grinned sheepishly upon hearing this. Moments ago, she had been utterly repulsed by something refined from a dead person's bones, but now she was completely turned around.
"I can give you one more, but remember, while this stuff can rapidly increase your strength, you can't rely on it too much. Otherwise, your foundation will become unstable, and it will be very difficult to advance in the future." Gu Fei reminded her seriously.
Zi Yan nodded obediently, holding up three fingers to promise she wouldn't become dependent.
Only then did Gu Fei give Zi Yan a second pellet, and she happily went off to refine it.
After Zi Yan, Cai Lin was the next to complete the refining process. With her naturally strong physique and already considerable strength, she refined the pellet quickly and achieved significant progress.
After Cai Lin, Xiao Yi Xian, Qing Lin, and the others also woke up one after another, each having made different levels of advancement, with Qing Lin showing the most noticeable improvement.
Among the group, she had the weakest strength, so she gained the most from the pellet.
Now, the little girl following Gu Fei had reached the Dou Ancestor level.
"The power of the Dou Saint is truly terrifying. If only we could get more of those Bone Marrow pellets…" the Lion King mused as he woke up, but he was content. Receiving even one pellet from Gu Fei was already a tremendous gift.
"The earlier you come into contact with the power of a Dou Saint, the more it will benefit you all."
Gu Fei said to everyone.
Next, they all turned to watch Zi Yan as she absorbed her second Dou Saint Bone Marrow pellet.
With the experience from the first time, Zi Yan found it much easier to absorb the second pellet. After just a few hours, her aura stabilized after a series of breakthroughs.
Previously, she had broken through the seventh rank, and now she was at the late stage of the seventh rank.
Her speed was astounding.
"Zi Yan has gained several years' worth of progress in one go!" Elder Zhu Li exclaimed from the side. He too wished to step into the true Dou Saint realm and experience its power.
Under everyone's watchful eyes, Zi Yan slowly opened her eyes and exhaled a deep breath.
"Huh? You've all finished refining, and now you're staring at me… Did I do something strange?" Zi Yan looked at herself, wondering if something was wrong.
"Everyone thinks you're adorable and can't look away," Gu Fei teased her, and Zi Yan pretended to be shy.
"Alright, now that your strength has made significant progress, it's time to refine the Dragon-Phoenix Origin Fruit," Gu Fei said, shifting to a serious tone.
The Dragon-Phoenix Origin Fruit would be the greatest opportunity in Zi Yan's life, and no one could afford to let their guard down for even a moment.
Zi Yan understood this too and displayed an unprecedentedly serious expression.
"Zi Yan seems like a completely different person," Qing Lin whispered to herself.
"Zi Yan may be carefree most of the time, but she's also very mature when it matters," Cai Lin replied softly.
"Elder Zhu Li."
Gu Fei looked over at Zhu Li.
Zhu Li hesitated slightly, saying, "Isn't it too early to refine the fruit?"
"Don't worry, there won't be any problems."
Seeing Gu Fei's determination, Zhu Li no longer argued.
The current situation of the Ancient Void Dragon Tribe was dire, and they urgently needed a powerful warrior to emerge.
He extended his hand, revealing the Dragon-Phoenix Origin Fruit: "Zi Yan, the rise and fall of the Ancient Void Dragon Tribe rests on your shoulders. Be careful!"
Zi Yan nodded firmly and reached out to take the Dragon-Phoenix Origin Fruit.
As soon as she touched it, the fruit instantly transformed into a liquid of purple and gold, flowing into her body.
At the same time, a terrifying energy began to surge within Zi Yan, wreaking havoc in her body, causing her immense pain while gradually merging with her flesh and blood.
"Clear your mind, focus, and just absorb the Dragon-Phoenix Origin Fruit," Gu Fei reminded her.
Everyone else held their breath, not daring to disturb Zi Yan in the slightest.
Zi Yan focused all her efforts on resisting the energy's impact. Once it calmed down a bit, she immediately began to absorb it.
The energy was so overwhelming that as soon as Zi Yan absorbed a little, her previously stabilized aura started fluctuating again, even pushing her towards the eighth rank!
Seeing this, Zhu Li was overjoyed: "The Ancient Void Dragon Tribe is on the brink of a new era of prosperity!"
"Our clan will continue to hold the title of the most powerful magical beast tribe on the Dou Qi Continent!"
The Ancient Void Dragon Clan had been in turmoil for years, but now that the royal bloodline had reappeared and was absorbing the Dragon-Phoenix Origin Fruit, this was their hope.
Perhaps in the future, Zi Yan's achievements could surpass even those of the old Dragon Emperor!
