Entering the Dragon Blood Pool
Zheng Shi'an smiled and shook his head. "Thank you, big brother! But I won't need it. Gu masters don't need their bodies to be as strong. You absorb it, big brother. I'll protect you!"
"All right. Don't just sit around, either. There's plenty of Chaos Qi here, and cultivating in it will get twice the results for half the effort. Don't waste your time!"
"Mm!"
Bi Fan patted his shoulder and, following Dragon Sable's directions, quickly found the Dragon Blood Pool hidden beneath the Dragon Blood Coral Tree.
"Is this the place?" he asked, looking at the blackish-red pool at his feet.
"Mm!"
"Why is it so dark?"
Dragon Sable floated down and took a close look at the surface before saying, "Master! There's an aura of Dragon Blood Coral Fruit in this pool! Maybe it ripened and nobody picked it, so it fell in here!"
Bi Fan froze. "Is Dragon Blood Coral Fruit still useful?"
"Yes! It can provide the Chaos energy spirit beasts need and help them evolve quickly. But under normal circumstances, who would be willing to waste Dragon Blood Coral Fruit like this?"
"Can you absorb it?"
"Of course!" Dragon Sable nodded excitedly.
Bi Fan grinned, grabbed it by its little tail, and tossed it into the Dragon Blood Pool. Then he drank the sap of the Dragon Blood Coral Tree, took off his clothes, and stepped into the pool.
What he didn't know was that a barrier surrounded the Dragon Blood Pool. Unless someone was a Core Disciple of Lie Huo Sect's inner sect, they couldn't get inside.
But the barrier had long since accepted the aura of the Spirit of the Artifact inside the Cauldron, so the man, the sable, and the artifact spirit had entered without a hitch...
