Refining the Crystal Layer

"Ancient Dragon Essence Blood?"

Reaching out to take the Jade Bottle, and feeling the vast energy emanating from it, even with Xiao Ming's keen eyesight and knowledge, a look of amazement couldn't help but flash across his eyes.

If these five drops of refined essence blood were left out, they would definitely cause a frenzy among Dou Zun Expert. After all, this stuff can not only quickly restore consumed Dou Qi, but also temper the body, making one's physique comparable to some Magical Beast.

However, with Xiao Ming's current physical strength, this thing can no longer work on him. He has cultivated the Spirit Nourishing Technique and devoured various Heaven and Earth Spiritual Object, which makes the physical body of the Ancient Void Dragon of the same realm no stronger than his.

As for restoring his Dou Qi, Xiao Ming's own Dou Qi was already terrifyingly abundant. He hadn't experienced the state of near-exhaustion of Xiao Ming Dou Qi for a long time.

Of course, Xiao Ming didn't refuse. If he didn't need it, he could give it to someone else. Besides, he might need it in the next few days.

After receiving the Jade Bottle, Xiao Ming immediately clasped his hands in a fist salute, then exhaled lightly. With a flash, he transformed into a streak of light and appeared above the Volcano Crater. He sat cross-legged in the sky and slowly came to rest outside the giant cauldron.

Seeing Xiao Ming preparing to make a move, Elder Zhu Li's expression gradually turned serious, and he said in a low voice, "Hopefully things will go more smoothly from here on out..."

Sitting cross-legged before the giant cauldron, Xiao Ming gazed intently at the petite figure within, clearing his mind. Once his mind was completely calmed, he made a thought.

"Boom!"

A Little Huo suddenly appeared in front of him, instantly transforming into a raging inferno, which, under Xiao Ming's control, was continuously poured into the giant cauldron.

With the appearance of the White Glass Heart Flame, the temperature of the sky instantly became scorching, and some towering trees in the mountains drooped their branches and leaves at this moment.

Flames roared into the giant cauldron, and under Xiao Ming's near-perfect control, they all converged together. In a short moment, a huge fire dragon took shape inside the cauldron.

"Roar!"

As the fire dragon took shape, it roared to the sky, the roar causing the giant cauldron to tremble.

"Refine!"

Xiao Ming changed his hand seals and let out a cold shout. The huge fire dragon charged directly at Zi Yan.

Just as the fire dragon was about to crash into Zi Yan's body, its massive body twisted and coiled rapidly, completely enveloping Zi Yan. At the same time, the temperature inside the giant cauldron suddenly rose to a terrifying level.

"Rest, rest, rest..."

At the same time, streaks of light flew in from all parts of Dragon Island, then stopped solemnly in the sky around the mountain peaks.

These were all members of the Taixu Ancient Dragon Clan. They were aware of what was happening today, so none of them spoke up to disturb Xiao Ming, who was refining the energy.

Although Xiao Ming noticed the observations of these Ancient Void Dragons, he simply ignored them. At this moment, he needed to focus all his attention on the giant cauldron to prevent any accidents.

Inside the giant cauldron, flames roared. Although the flames obscured the view, the scene inside was still clearly seen by powerful figures like Elder Zhu Li.

A fire dragon coiled up, and extremely hot pillars of fire continuously spewed out from its giant mouth, eventually wrapping around Zi Yan's body, which lay inside the giant cauldron.

As the terrifying temperature corroded her body, the Dragon Phoenix Crystal Layer on Zi Yan's body also emitted a faint, strange crystalline light. As the crystal layer shimmered, it seemed to flow like fluid, spreading out waves of terrifying energy that made people's hearts tremble.

The Heavenly Flames was continuously spewed onto Zi Yan's body, but the Dragon Phoenix Crystal Layer still showed no signs of melting.

Clearly, the Dragon Phoenix Crystal Layer is not so easy to refine; it will take quite some time.

"Zhu Li, do you really think he can refine the Dragon Phoenix Crystal Layer? You should know what Zi Yan represents to our Eastern Dragon Island..."

Just as Zhu Li distance, an aged voice suddenly sounded behind him.

Elder Zhu Li his head slightly and saw an old man with black and white hair standing behind him. The old man was dressed in a tight-fitting outfit and had a stern and unsmiling appearance.

Elder Zhu Li remained silent for a moment, then turned his gaze to the white-robed youth in front of the giant cauldron and said.

"I was a little uncertain before, but now I'm 90% sure."

The usually taciturn and unsmiling old man fell silent.

"You don't understand?" Elder Zhu Li asked, pointing at the giant cauldron before the old man could answer.

"Qi You, take a close look at that Heavenly Flames. What do you see?"

Upon hearing this, Qi You looked up and, after a moment, said in a deep voice, "This Heavenly Flames isn't one of the Heavenly Flames on the Heavenly Flame Ranking, is it? However, its power is immense; it might rank among the top seven."

"Anything else?"

"Xiao Ming's Soul Power is strong, even my soul feels a sense of oppression. Could he be Heavenly Realm?" Qi You said, realizing something as he spoke.

"It is indeed Heavenly Realm Soul," Zhu Li nodded.

"You should understand what the combination of Heavenly Realm Soul, Heavenly Flames, and Tier 8 Alchemist represents. Before Zi Yan fainted, she asked him to come and help. Although this girl is young, she wouldn't risk her life. Now it seems her judgment is truly excellent."

"Xiao Ming is indeed excellent, and he's the best candidate we can get in touch with." Qi You agreed with Elder Zhu Li's idea, and the heaviness on his face lessened somewhat. However, he suddenly thought of something else, and some worry appeared on his face.

"Hopefully the refining process will go smoothly. The Great Elder and the Second Elder have both gone into Death Retreat and haven't appeared in public for a long time. If the other three islands find out some news, it's hard to guarantee that they won't send powerful experts to investigate."

Zi Yan is currently the only member of the Taixu Ancient Dragon Clan who retains complete Royal Bloodline. If anything were to happen to her, the Taixu Ancient Dragon Clan might never be able to remain completely unified again.

At this point, Zhu Li's face showed some worry, but she still tried to comfort him.

"Rest assured, I have already sent the news of the reappearance of the Dragon Emperor Bloodline into the void. I believe those clansmen will return to Eastern Dragon Island soon. At that time, the people of the other three Dragon Island will be no threat."

The Ancient Void Dragon split after Zhu Kun was trapped. Before Zhu Kun was trapped, the Taixu Ancient Dragon Clan could be considered the number one race on the Dou Qi Continent.

During that period, the Ancient Void Dragon Clan was filled with powerful figures. Apart from Zhu Kun, a Nine Star Dou Sheng, there were other high-star Dou Sheng Expert. However, after Zhu Kun left, these experts all left the void. The current experts of the Ancient Void Dragon are actually younger generations who grew up later.

Zhu Li's current goal is to recall those Ancient Times powerhouses.
