'Ancient Dragon Essence Blood?'
As Xiao Ming reached out to take the jade bottle containing the Ancient Dragon Essence Blood, he sensed the vast and mighty energy radiating from it. Even with his keen eyesight and extensive experience, a glint of shock involuntarily appeared in his eyes.
The refined blood within the bottle was immensely powerful and could cause a stir among Dou Venerate-level experts if discovered outside. These five drops of blood were not only capable of swiftly replenishing exhausted Dou Qi but also tempering one's body to be comparable to that of some Magical Beasts.
However, Xiao Ming knew that his current physical strength exceeded the effects of this substance. Through the cultivation of the "Rise of Twin Spirits" technique and the absorption of various heaven and earth heavenly treasures, his physical body was no weaker than that of the Ancient Void Dragon at the same stage.
Moreover, his own Dou Qi contained within his spiritual core was formidable, and he hadn't experienced a state of depleted Dou Qi in a long time.
Despite this, Xiao Ming accepted the jade bottle. If he couldn't utilize it himself, he could give it to someone else. Furthermore, he believed that he might find a use for it in the coming days
After receiving the jade bottle, Xiao Ming immediately cupped his hands together, took a deep breath, and his figure transformed into a streak of light, hovering above the volcano. He then slowly descended and came to a stop beside the large cauldron, sitting cross-legged in the sky.
Observing Xiao Ming's focused state, Elder Zhu Li's expression also grew increasingly grave. He murmured in a low voice, "I hope everything goes smoothly from now on..."
...
Xiao Ming maintained his cross-legged position in front of the large cauldron, his gaze fixed solemnly on the petite figure inside. He cleared his mind, allowing his thoughts to settle before initiating the process.
Bang!
With a resounding bang, a small white flame surged forth from in front of Xiao Ming. In an instant, it grew into a towering flame that poured continuously into the large cauldron under his precise control.
As the Heavenly Flame emerged, the temperature swiftly rose, causing some trees in the surrounding mountain forest to shed their leaves in response...
The flame whistled into the enormous cauldron and gathered together under Xiao Ming's nearly flawless control. Within a short moment, a huge flame dragon was formed within the enormous cauldron.
"Roar!"
The fiery creature let out a thunderous roar that reverberated through the cauldron, causing it to tremble in response.
"Refine!" Xiao Ming changed his hand seals and shouted coldly. The gigantic fire dragon immediately charged towards Zi Yan. However, just as the fire dragon was about to collide with her body, it swiftly turned and curled up, wrapping itself around her. At the same time, the temperature within the large cauldron rose to a frightening extent...
Swoosh swoosh swoosh…
As the temperature suddenly escalated, numerous rays of light rushed out from all over Dragon Island. They stopped above the surrounding mountains with solemn expressions.
These were the tribe members of the Ancient Void Dragon Tribe. They appeared to be aware of the matter today. Hence, none of them made any noise, being cautious not to disturb Xiao Ming's focus.
Although Xiao Ming sensed their observation, he remained undeterred, focusing all his attention on the large cauldron to prevent any accidents.
The flame within the cauldron burned fiercely, blocking the view, yet the scene within was clearly absorbed into the minds of Elder Zhu Li and the other experts present.
The flame dragon entrenched itself, and numerous scorching fire pillars continuously shot from its large mouth, lingering around Zi Yan's body within the large cauldron.
The erosion of such a frightening temperature caused the Dragon Phoenix Crystal Layer on Zi Yan's body to emit a faint but unusual glow. The crystal layer flickered with light, resembling a flowing body, exuding wave after wave of frightening energy that left one's heart trembling.
The Heavenly Flame was continuously spewed onto Zi Yan's body, but there was no sign of the Dragon Phoenix Crystal Layer melting.
Evidently, the Dragon Phoenix Crystal Layer was not so easily refined; it would take some time.
"Zhu Li, do you really think he can refine the Dragon Phoenix Crystal Layer? You should be aware of what Zi Yan means to our Eastern Dragon Island..."
Just as Elder Zhu Li was gazing intently, an elderly voice suddenly sounded behind him.
Elder Zhu Li tilted his head and saw an old man with black and white hair standing there. The elder was dressed simply, his lack of a smile and quiet demeanor giving him a stern appearance.
After a moment of silence, Elder Zhu Li turned his gaze to the white-robed youth in front of the large cauldron and replied, "I had my doubts before, but now I'm 90% certain."
The stern old man remained silent.
"Don't you understand?" Elder Zhu Li continued without waiting for a response, pointing his finger at the cauldron. "Qi You, take a closer look at that Heavenly Flame. What do you see?"
Qi You raised his head and observed for a moment before solemnly responding, "This Heavenly Flame is not listed on the Heavenly Flame Ranking, but its power is immense. It could potentially rank among the top seven."
"What else?" Elder Zhu Li inquired further.
"Xiao Ming possesses a powerful spiritual strength. His soul even gives me a sense of oppression. Could it be in the Heaven Realm?" Qi You realized something as he spoke.
"It is indeed a soul in the Heaven Realm," Elder Zhu Li nodded.
"You should understand what it means for a soul in the Heaven Realm, a Heavenly Flame, and an eighth-tier Alchemist to merge together. Before she fell into a coma, Zi Yan said she wanted to invite him to help. Although she's young, she wouldn't joke around with her own life. Now, looking at the situation, her judgment seems to be right on the mark."
"Xiao Ming is indeed exceptional, and he's the best candidate we can approach," Qi You agreed with Elder Zhu Li's thoughts. The heaviness on his face lessened, but he suddenly thought of another aspect, and a trace of worry appeared on his face.
"I hope the refining process goes smoothly. The First Elder and the Second Elder have been in closed-door cultivation for a long time. If the other three islands receive any news, it's hard to say they won't send powerful individuals to investigate."
"Zi Yan is currently the only person within the Ancient Void Dragon Tribe to possess a complete royal bloodline. If anything happens to her, it is likely that our Ancient Void Dragon Tribe will never be able to unite again."
Hearing this, Elder Zhu Li's face also showed some concern, but he reassured Qi You, "Don't worry, I have already transmitted the news of the reappearance of the Dragon Emperor's bloodline into the void. It won't be long before those tribe members return to Eastern Dragon Island. The people from the other three dragon islands will be insignificant by then."
The Ancient Void Dragon Tribe split after Zhu Kun was trapped. Before his entrapment, the tribe was considered the number one tribe on the Dou Qi continent.
At that time, the Ancient Void Dragon Tribe had numerous powerful experts. Besides Zhu Kun, a nine-star Dou Saint, there were other high-star Dou Saint experts. However, after Zhu Kun's departure, these experts vanished into the void. The current powerful individuals within the Ancient Void Dragon Tribe were actually the younger generation that grew up later.
Elder Zhu Li was now attempting to summon back those ancient experts.
