Chapter 83: Passing on Skills to Li Yurong, Ancient Dragon’s Blood

"Senior Sister really understands me best. This is what family is supposed to be like!"

"Not like the elders, who always say I'm not as smart as my sister, that I don't have a brain and just grew a melon on my chest."

"But sometimes I really am pretty smart!"

Hearing her senior sister compliment her intelligence, Li Yurong couldn't help but feel a little giddy, her face full of delight as she spoke.

She had never felt much attachment to the Holy Mountain. The elders usually just forced her to train nonstop, not even allowing her to go down the mountain to have fun.

She was stuck on the mountain, sometimes catching a couple of geese to chat with to pass the time, which was driving her crazy with boredom.

But now everything was different. Not only did she have a senior sister, but also a master!

From now on, the elders wouldn't be able to control her anymore and just make her train endlessly!

For a moment, Li Yurong felt as though she'd been rescued. From her senior sister's earlier explanation, she also came to understand what having a master truly meant.

Her master's name was Chen Daoxuan, and "Master" was a title, representing someone as close as a father.

This made Li Yurong, who had never seen her parents since she was little, naturally develop a sense of dependence on her master.

"Hm?"

"Did you explain everything to your junior sister?"

Chen Daoxuan happened to wake up at this time, yawning and groggily asking.

"Yes... I've explained it all. Junior Sister is... pretty smart after all."

Leng Yanran responded with a resigned look, feeling a sudden urge to return the "goods." If she'd known earlier, she wouldn't have tested Li Shenruo so much. But now that Master had officially taken her junior sister in, there was no way to return her...

"Yurong greets Master!"

When Li Yurong saw her master approach, she stood up respectfully and saluted him with proper form.

Seeing this, Chen Daoxuan nodded to himself, thinking that Yanran had done a good job in teaching her.

"Not bad."

"Since you've joined my sect, the technique you were practicing before should be replaced."

"This Chaos Sacred Dragon Art is suitable for your cultivation. Additionally, here's a bottle of Ancient Dragon's Blood to further develop your constitution."

"These will be my gifts to you as you begin your path under me."

Chen Daoxuan then sat in his place and casually produced a manual exuding a chaotic aura, along with a crystal-clear jade bottle. The bottle was semi-transparent, and the faintly golden blood inside could be seen flowing.

When Li Yurong saw the technique manual her master had taken out, her eyes lit up with excitement!

The technique seemed to irresistibly draw her in, so much so that she felt an impulse to grab it.

However, even though she was a bit naive, she understood that it wasn't appropriate to snatch something from her master, especially when he had already said it was for her. There was no need to grab it.

Meanwhile, Scarlet Cloud, who had been standing quietly nearby, couldn't help but gasp when he saw the manual Chen Daoxuan produced.

"May I ask, Hall Master, what level of technique is this?"

"Could it be a top-grade immortal-grade technique!?"

Though Scarlet Cloud was currently only at the Boundless Realm, his discerning eye was not simple, as Scarlet Cloud Master had cultivated immortal-grade techniques in his previous life.

But even those couldn't compare to the Chaos Sacred Dragon Art before him!

"immortal-grade?"

"Our Heavenly Dao Hall doesn't keep trash techniques like that, not even to use as table supports."

Before Chen Daoxuan could answer, Leng Yanran sneered disdainfully.

She still vividly remembered the look of utter scorn on her master's face when he mentioned immortal-grade techniques in the past, saying they were only good for starting fires or cooking meals.

"Uh..."

Scarlet Cloud froze on the spot, feeling as if his worldview was crumbling.

In this world, immortal-grade techniques were nearly unattainable. Only by acquiring the legacy of an immortal could one gain the qualification to ascend.

Scarlet Cloud Master, in his past life, had been hunted down because he possessed such an immortal-grade technique.

But here, something that the most powerful beings coveted had been reduced to trash?

He couldn't comprehend it.

"Master, is this technique stronger than the immortal-grade one my sister obtained in the secret realm?"

Li Yurong asked curiously.

"How should I explain this to you..."

"Hmm, roughly..."

"If immortal-grade techniques are like an ant, then the technique I'm giving you is equivalent to the Void Mountain."

Chen Daoxuan, aware of his second disciple's limited intelligence, decided to use a simple analogy. He suspected she had put all her attribute points into her figure and maxed it out, leaving none for intelligence.

The mythic-grade techniques far surpassed immortal-grade ones. They were tools that could lead one to ultimate enlightenment.

"Oh, I get it!"

"If I practice Master's technique, I can turn into a big mountain!"

Li Yurong's eyes sparkled as she suddenly understood.

Smack!

All three people present slapped their foreheads simultaneously. She sort of got it... but not really.

Chen Daoxuan decided not to correct her. Instead, he directly handed the technique over.

Li Yurong quickly accepted it with both hands, treating it like a priceless treasure. She murmured softly, "Yurong is going to turn into a big mountain..."

"Ahem. And this bottle of Ancient Dragon's Blood is also for you. You can take it while cultivating—it will activate your Special Physique."

"Only take one-tenth of it at a time. Any more, and I'm afraid you won't be able to digest it."

Clearing his throat, Chen Daoxuan handed over the jade bottle as well. Li Yurong carefully accepted it.

She held the translucent bottle up to the sunlight, staring curiously at the pale golden blood flowing inside. She couldn't help but lick her lips...

"Master, can I start cultivating now?"

Hugging the technique tightly, Li Yurong looked at her master expectantly.

Chen Daoxuan nodded in agreement. Without delay, she gently uncorked the jade bottle under their watchful gazes.

"Roar—!"

As soon as the bottle was opened, a phantom of an ancient dragon shot out, letting out a resonant dragon roar before slowly dissipating.

Though it was only a phantom, it exuded a tangible dragon's might. Even Scarlet Cloud couldn't help but retreat three steps before steadying himself.

"This... this is real dragon blood!?"

Scarlet Cloud's eyes widened in shock, muttering in disbelief.

Dragons did exist, but their power was immense. Even a newly hatched dragonling would likely have strength equivalent to the Profound Sky Realm, and an adult dragon would be at least at the Void Return Realm!

Moreover, dragons were notoriously vengeful and ferocious. He couldn't fathom how the Hall Master had obtained such pure dragon blood.

"Master said to take a small sip..."

"One-tenth..."

Li Yurong licked her lips again. The scent of the ancient dragon's blood was so enticing that it felt like the most delicious treasure she had ever encountered.

With a small gulp, she drank a tiny portion and quickly recapped the bottle.

Under their watchful gazes, she sat cross-legged and began cultivating with the technique her master had given her.
