Dragonblood pool

The old lady with Zhu Shen reached the top of the mountain.

"Quickly prepare for an emergency…"

The old lady ordered servants as she ran inside a room. The room was filled with different kinds of medicines as well as cauldrons. The heavy smell of medicine can be smelt from the room.

The old lady took a white paper and wrote names of some medicine and pass them to old man Ao.

"Old man quickly prepare these herbs for a paste."

Old man Ao did not waste any time as he ran out of the room with the white paper.

The old lady placed her hand 1 inch above Zhu Shen's chest and activated her Qi. Her hands turned green as dense vitality began to transfer from her hand towards Zhu Shen.

'Thankfully you came here in time…'

The old lady thought as he saw Zhu Shen's injuries slowly heal under her dense vitality.

After about 10 minutes old man Ao bought all the medicinal herbs written on the white paper.

The old lady waved her hand as all the herbs flew towards her. She then performed a strange set of hand signs as all the herbs start rotating in a circular motion in front of her.

"Crush…"

The old lady uttered a single word as all the herbs were crushed into fine powder by some mysterious power. She then opened her right palm, one could see a bizarre blue flame within her hand.

"Scatter…"

The blue flame then scattered and rushed towards all the crushed herbs. After the blue flame combined with the crushed herbs, the herbs began to melt.

"Refine…"

Some black substance dripped down from the liquid turning the herbal liquid crystal green without any impurities. This was the essence of all the herbs.

"Combine…"

The old lady uttered those words as all the liquids started to merge forming a dense paste. A strong medicinal fragrance came out from the medicinal paste.

"Huuuu…"

The old lady exhaled deeply as she ordered her disciples.

"Take this medicinal liquid and apply it on the injured areas… "

After explaining, she came out of the room and just watched her disciples of the medicine hall do the work.

"Hey old man tell me quickly, what happened to him… why he is in such a horrific state"

After watching Zhu Shen getting wrapped in bandages, the old woman asked the old man with a strange gaze.

"Cough… he met some bandits inside the Taihang mountain range."

"What… Taihang mountain range ants have such audacity to attack a disciple of our dragon palace…?"

Hearing that the youth was attacked by some bandits the old lady got furious.

The people of the dragon palace were true owners of this hidden dragon space, and any empires or small sects residing within the hidden dragon space were mere subjects. The old lady was furious after hearing that nobody bandits dared to attack the disciple of the dragon palace.

"Old man release mission to eradicate those ants… how dare they attack our own…"

Seeing the anger of the old lady, old man Ao chooses to keep quiet and let the old lady vent her anger.

After about 10 minutes, old man Ao finally got a chance to speak,

"It's not them that attacked… it was him… haha"

Tears rolled down old man Ao's face as he looked at Zhu Shen.

The old lady's gaze became very strange after seeing old man Ao's crying state.

'Looks like the old man hit the bucket this time…'

While crying, old man Ao looked at the old woman and said,

"He killed 37 bandit camps alone that's why he is in this state…"

"He killed what…?"

Shock filled the old women's face as she looked at the youth in front of her.

Each bandit camp had 100-200 bandits. To kill 37 camps alone was equivalent to killing 5000 bandits alone.

The most surprising thing was that Zhu Shen haven't even reached the body tempering stage yet.

"Haha… He is my disciple… what's so surprising about it…"

Old man ao felt very proud after seeing the shocked face of the old lady.

"What…?"

This time the shock on the old lady's face was even more visible. Because old man Ao was an ancestor of the dragon palace, a venerable level expert. Under normal circumstances, ancestors were not allowed to accept disciples who have yet to cultivate.

'What is this kid's background…?'

The old lady thought as she looked at Zhu Shen. but on the surface, she maintained her previous face as she asked old man Ao,

"So, what are your plans for the kid…?"

She now knew why the old man asked for all the medicinal bath herbs and all the pills.

"To let him perfect his body tempering in Dragonblood pool of course…"

Without betting an eye old man Ao told the old woman. This time the old women became speechless,

The Dragonblood pool opened once every 100 years and only geniuses were allowed to enter the pool to perfect their body tempering stage.

Perfecting the body tempering had a huge advantage towards the future path for a cultivator. Firstly they will become more powerful than others in the same stage. Secondly, they will have an easier time breaking through the Qi sensing stage.

"Old man this time, patrich already decided the quota for Dragonblood pool… if you interfere, the old monsters will not be happy."

"If they will become unhappy, I will just beat them up…"

The old lady shivered as she watched old man Ao's sinister face. She could only pray for those old monsters to have some conscience.

'Demon King Ao will be awakened this time I guess…'

This was the only thought in her mind as she felt a cold shiver running down her spine.
