Imperial Cultivation

Dragon Blood Stone is a stone that has been soaked in dragon blood.

Dragon blood is precious. Even a stone soaked in it, contaminated with extremely rare dragon blood, diluted to the extreme, is still worth as much as a Minor Marrow Cleansing Pill and requires Ninth Grade Merit to exchange for it.

However, it is considered a relatively unpopular item among those that can be exchanged for Ninth Grade Merit. Few people exchange for it, most opting for the Minor Marrow Cleansing Pill.

“My lord, since the Emperor has issued the decree, it will be very fast, probably in the next two days,” Gao Lingfeng said with a smile.

As the two were talking, a minor official reported that someone from the Audit Department was looking for the Vice Minister.

The person from the Audit Department was a young, handsome clerk.

He brought Chu Zhiyuan a Ninth Grade Merit Badge.

… …

At noon, the bright sunlight shone into Listening to the Waves Courtyard, making the flowers in the flower garden even more delicate and beautiful.

Green bamboo rustled, and a gentle breeze blew.

The breeze carried the faint fragrance of flowers and crisp air, blowing in through the open window, onto Chu Zhiyuan who was on the couch.

He sat cross-legged, wearing a wide moon-white robe, his hair loose.

His left palm held a crimson stone, which he examined carefully.

This Dragon Blood Stone was the size of a fist, as red as blood.

It had already become jade-like, feeling warm and smooth to the touch, with a faint luster flowing inside, resembling red jade.

However, its color was deeper than red jade. After staring at it for a while, it seemed as if flames were surging within, ready to burn at any moment.

The Dragon Transformation Art was surging, its speed about three times faster than usual.

The speed was not as fast as the Flying Dragon Pearl, perhaps because the dragon blood was too thin, or because the grade of dragon blood on this stone was not high enough, not as good as the Flying Dragon Pearl.

What surprised him was that the Dragon Transformation Art was extracting power from the stone as it circulated.

The second level is about training the apertures.

The so-called training of apertures means opening the apertures, developing the apertures.

This kind of aperture is a strange existence, like a acupoint but not a acupoint, like a void but also like reality.

This aperture is like the acupoints on the meridians but not the acupoints. It is formed by the Dragon Transformation Art at the junction of the meridians.

Other animals or humans do not have this kind of aperture, which is unique to the dragon body, similar to the acupoints on the dragon body.

Human acupoints are the nodes of the meridians and the gathering places of Qi and blood, like the confluence of rivers.

The aperture opened by the Dragon Transformation Art is similar to a vortex, which is the place to accelerate the flow of Qi and blood. Each aperture opened will speed up the flow of Qi and blood by one point.

The completion of the second level of the Dragon Transformation Art requires opening twenty apertures.

One aperture is opened in each of the twelve main meridians and the eight extraordinary meridians.

After opening the apertures, the circulation of true Qi will be accelerated, and the strength and explosiveness will be greatly increased, and the power of martial arts will naturally be greatly increased.

… …

As the second level of the Dragon Transformation Art circulated, the aura extracted from the Dragon Blood Stone quickly gathered in his dantian, not entering the dantian, but revolving around the dantian.

This aura left the meridians and traveled directly through the flesh and blood, flowing freely, and constantly gathering in the dantian, revolving and circling around the dantian, gradually forming a golden vortex above the dantian.

Like a goshawk circling over a rabbit in the grassland.

The mental technique was driving the process, and the aura from the Dragon Blood Stone was continuously integrated into the aura of the Dragon Transformation Art, condensing into the golden vortex above the dantian.

He could clearly see everything with his inner vision.

The golden aura was originally thin, but slowly became richer and stronger over time, gradually growing, more and more rich and pure.

Eventually, it became glittering with golden light, like a school of golden fish dancing in the sea, which was a magnificent sight.

The aura of the Dragon Blood Stone was endless, but it eventually came to an end. After an hour, the Dragon Blood Stone turned into a piece of white jade.

The aura was completely gone, leaving only a piece of pure white jade.

Chu Zhiyuan thought for a while and opened the Cold Jade Box.

Suddenly, the circulating second level of the Dragon Transformation Art instantly accelerated, and the golden vortex began to speed up, spinning faster and faster, and then suddenly contracted inward and collapsed.

Finally, with a sudden contraction, it condensed into a golden orb, shaped like the Flying Dragon Pearl.

“Bang!” The golden orb suddenly exploded.

He suddenly felt the earth shake and the mountains sway, with constant roaring.

He felt dizzy and his senses were disordered. Even his super-sense was ineffective at this time, and his body and mind were in a state of confusion.

His body trembled violently, and a burst of golden light flashed before his eyes, making it difficult to see anything else, like being electrocuted.

When he calmed down, his senses returned, and his super-sense regained its clarity, he found that his dantian had become a vortex.

The hazy purple Qi of the Great Purple Sun Art had turned into a huge vortex, rotating like a purple nebula, seemingly slow, but containing an amazing momentum.

When he observed it, facing this nebula-like purple Qi vortex, he actually felt a sense of shock, as if it would explode with earth-shattering power at any time.

Was this the opening of an aperture?

The first aperture was opened in the dantian.

The vortex rotated slowly, but when the spirit drove the Great Purple Sun Art to operate, it provided great assistance, making it easier to operate the Great Purple Sun Art, reducing consumption, and increasing the speed of operation.

He tried it, and the speed increased by one time, and the mental consumption was reduced by half.

For him, who has the Heavenly Origin Art, mental consumption does not matter. If it were someone else, it would be different, meaning that they could maintain the exercise time for twice as long.

Twice the speed and twice the exercise time, the two superimposed, meaning that the daily cultivation efficiency is four times that of the past, or even more.

One year is equivalent to four years for others, and ten years is equivalent to forty years. How exaggerated!

He tirelessly operated the Great Purple Sun Art while praising it repeatedly. He never expected the Dragon Transformation Art to be so amazing.

The first level of meridian training cannot fully reflect the power of the Dragon Transformation Art.

… …

When he withdrew from the wonderful state, he looked up at the sky outside the window.

The sun was about thirty degrees to the west, and he estimated that it was about two o'clock in the afternoon, so he prepared to go to another mansion.

Looking at the faded Dragon Blood Stone, he shook his head.

Dragon Blood Stones are good, but they are too consumable.

It is a pity that there is no such strange power in the Flying Dragon Pearl, which cannot help him open up the remaining apertures.

If he could get more Dragon Blood Stones, he could quickly open up new apertures. If he could not get them, he would only be able to practice the second level of mental technique hard.

Operating the second level of the Dragon Transformation Art, the true Qi will be purified to a certain level and undergo a strange change, similar to the aura just extracted from the Dragon Blood Stone.

This cultivation speed is far less than the assistance of the Dragon Blood Stone.

I wonder if the Emperor can bestow some more?

He threw the white jade aside, got up and got off the couch: “Mo Yi.”

The graceful figures of the four Mo Yi girls appeared, their colorful clothes fluttering, and a faint fragrance wafted, making the room instantly romantic.

“I’ll reward you with this.” Chu Zhiyuan threw the white jade to Mo Yi.

This piece of white jade is precious, but it is not worth mentioning to him. He was too lazy to spend his energy on it, so he directly rewarded it to Mo Yi and the others.

“Thank you, Prince.” Mo Yi took it and looked at it, then handed it to the other three girls.

The four girls pursed their lips and smiled charmingly, their smiles like flowers.

Their radiance made the room even brighter.

Chu Zhiyuan said: “Change your clothes, I’m going out for a trip.”

— —

The mansion next to the Hou Tu Hall of Mingyue Tower is suitable for extreme cultivation.

The Emperor Heaven Earth Scripture can restore meridian injuries at any time, allowing him to boldly reach the limit, attack the Jade Tower, or practice other martial arts, and dare to practice recklessly.

He changed his clothes and left the Qing Prince’s Mansion, quickly left Qing Prince Street, and merged into the bustling crowd, heading towards that mansion.

In the small cloth bag on his chest, the Flying Dragon Pearl was lying quietly, located at the heart.

The Dragon Transformation Art was running wildly, without him urging it, as if it were a steed running on its own without being driven.

He only needs to move his mind slightly to guide the operation of the first or second level.

When walking out of Qing Prince Street, the first level of the Dragon Transformation Art was finally completed.

It is a pity that this kind of completion is not a permanent proof, but only the completion of each cultivation realm.

Now it is the eighth level of the tower realm. When he breaks through to the ninth level, the first level of the Dragon Transformation Art will become incomplete again, and he will have to practice it again.

The body automatically runs the second level of the Dragon Transformation Art.

Walking into the bustling crowd, there are more and more martial arts masters coming and going, and the proportion of martial arts masters in the crowd is increasing greatly. If the Town Guard Division cannot come up with effective measures, there will be chaos.

Chu Zhiyuan looked at the various shops and stalls on both sides of the street, his sword eyebrows suddenly raised, and his lips moved.

Guo Chi and Zou Fang heard his voice at the same time: “Three Grandmasters are following us. They are not friendly. Be careful not to be separated and don’t be led away by them!”

The two remained calm, but Guo Chi leaned closer to him.

“Let’s go into the restaurant and sit down,” Chu Zhiyuan suddenly said.

Guo Chi and Zou Fang immediately understood his meaning, stopped with him, and the four guards of the Prince’s Mansion also stopped and stayed downstairs in the restaurant.

Chu Zhiyuan and the three entered this Qiyun Tower.
