Ancestral Dragon Essence Blood

Xiao Ding glared at Xiao Yu, annoyed, and said, "You're the one talking! If you hadn't been such a hands-off manager, I wouldn't be so exhausted now, and you're making sarcastic remarks!"

Xiao Yu quickly raised his hands in surrender, saying, "Hey, the capable should do more work, the capable should do more work!"

Xiao Ding rolled his eyes at Xiao Yu, then said, "Stay here for a while and don't leave. It just so happens that the third brother is getting married, so you can help out. Also, we need to keep an eye on Magic Flame Valley."

Xiao Yu nodded slightly and said, "I'll be in seclusion to refine some pills during this time. My pill-refining skills haven't improved in a long time, so this is a good opportunity to help the Underworld and the Mittel Family refine some high-level pills!"

Xiao Ding smiled and nodded, saying, "That's fine. I'll have someone send over some high-grade medicinal herbs right away!"

Ya Fei also chimed in, "Should we hold a pill auction this time to raise the prices of some pills?"

Xiao Yu shook his head and said, "No need. You can set the price yourself. If we hold another pill auction now, those who really want to buy pills probably won't be able to afford the price. Besides, the Underworld and the Mittel Family have been attracting a lot of attention in the Black Corner Region lately, so let's not keep drawing the spotlight!"

Xiao Yu's words made some sense. The auction held by the Black Emperor Sect had emptied the pockets of many people. Moreover, after this auction, the Black Emperor Sect was destroyed, and the Magic Flame Valley also suffered a great loss. Many people in the Black Corner Region felt fear towards the Underworld and the Mittel Family, which was bad news for those of them doing business in the Black Corner Region.

After having Ya Fei help Qing Lin arrange her room, Xiao Yu took the medicinal herbs sent by the Mittel Family and the Underworld with him and began his secluded alchemy cultivation.

Xiao Yu directly claimed the system rewards given over the past two months, which were nothing special. They were all ingredients for Seventh-grade Pill from the Alchemy Canon, with a full one hundred doses of each type.

After entering the secret chamber, Xiao Yu sat down cross-legged and silently recited in his mind, "Claim your reward!"

"Ding! This month's reward: One drop of Ancestral Dragon Essence Blood, claiming, please wait..."

"Ding! Claim successful!"

Before Xiao Yu could react, a drop of blood, crimson with a hint of gold, appeared before Xiao Yu, and a terrifying pressure, carrying a suffocating aura, swept over Xiao Yu.

Boom!

At that moment, a thunderclap suddenly rang out in the sky above Xiao Yu's secret chamber. Zi Yan, who was playing with Little Xiao Nian on the back mountain, suddenly frowned, her purple eyes looking at Xiao Yu with a hint of fear. Then she took Little Xiao Nian back to the Xiao Residence.

Seeing that Zi Yan's expression was very serious, Yun Yun asked, "Zi Yan, what's wrong?"

Zi Yan clutched her chest and said, "I feel unwell, as if something terrifying has been born!"

Meanwhile, Cai Lin also walked over, her face similarly pale. The tremor that seemed to emanate from her very soul stirred an uncomfortable feeling within her. She looked at Zi Yan and asked, "Did you feel it too?"

Zi Yan nodded slightly, and then the two of them flew towards the source of the aura, following the pressure emanating from the soul. Yun Yun followed behind with Little Xiao Nian. When they stopped in front of Xiao Yu's secluded cultivation chamber, Zi Yan said with a hint of fear, "This is it!"

Yun Yun asked, somewhat puzzled, "Here? But this is where Xiao Yu is in seclusion!"

"What is he doing? This bloodline suppression is definitely stronger than mine!" Zi Yan's face scrunched up; this feeling was just too uncomfortable!

Xiao Yu, inside the room, was unaware that Zi Yan and Cai Lin outside were both affected by this drop of Ancestral Dragon Essence Blood. He was currently staring intently at the drop of blood-red and gold-tinged essence blood in front of him, a hint of excitement flashing in his eyes. However, the pressure brought by this drop of essence blood made Xiao Yu feel somewhat suffocated.

"System, how do I use this? Do I just swallow it?" Xiao Yu hurriedly asked the system for instructions.

The system's mechanical voice announced, "Mix your blood with this drop of Ancestral Dragon Blood, and it will naturally fuse with the Ancestral Dragon Blood!"

Upon hearing this, Xiao Yu immediately pricked his finger, forcing out a drop of essence blood, and slowly pushed it towards the Ancestral Dragon Essence Blood. The moment they made contact, the Ancestral Dragon Blood emitted a trace of repulsion, which made Xiao Yu somewhat embarrassed. Why was it rejecting his blood? Did the Ancestral Dragon Blood look down on him?

With a determined heart, Xiao Yu fused the two drops of essence blood together. In an instant, a golden light shone throughout the room, creating a magnificent spectacle. Xiao Yu Xiao Yu blankly at the scene as one drop of essence blood shot rapidly toward his forehead and then merged into his body.

Xiao Yu, who had just merged with the Ancestral Dragon Blood, suddenly turned ferocious. A sharp pain came from Xiao Yu's head and then spread to his limbs and bones. It was like ants biting his body. The itching and the excruciating pain that went deep into his soul made Xiao Yu feel like he was in unbearable pain!

Unseen by Xiao Yu, the blood within his body began to turn golden, as if that drop of Ancestral Dragon Essence Blood was helping Xiao Yu transform his body!

"Roar!"

In his agony, Xiao Yu suddenly let out a low roar like a dragon. With a snap, the clothes on his back were torn apart, and patches of blood-red scabs began to appear on his smooth back, like dragon scales, lifelike.

The powerful energy contained in the Ancestral Dragon Essence Blood allowed Xiao Yu to begin to possess a trace of the Ancestral Dragon's aura, and his body began to evolve into that of a dragon. However, Xiao Yu currently had no energy to examine these things.

Suddenly, the intense pain caused Xiao Yu's vision to go black, and he fainted.

Outside the secret chamber, the sense of suppression from their bloodlines began to gradually subside in Zi Yan and Cai Lin's hearts, but at this moment they were somewhat worried about Xiao Yu inside the chamber.

"Sister Cai Lin, Sister Yun Yun, will Xiao Yu be alright?" Zi Yan asked with some concern.

Yun Yun shook her head and said, "It shouldn't be. He's incredibly lucky; how could anything happen to him? Besides, since he created this, he must be confident in its abilities!"

Cai Lin pursed her lips tightly and remained silent, but her eyes were fixed on the secret chamber.

After an unknown amount of time, Xiao Yu finally woke up from his unconsciousness. He felt an itch on his back and reached out to scratch it, only to find that his hand had turned into a claw, somewhat similar to a dragon's claw. His back was also covered with a thick layer of blood scabs and dragon scales, which looked rather eerie.

Xiao Yu's expression changed, and he said angrily, "What the hell is this? System, you didn't use expired Ancestral Dragon Blood to harm me, did you?"

"Where would you find expired Ancestral Dragon Blood? After consuming Ancestral Dragon Blood, there might be some uncontrollable changes, which is normal!" the system explained!
