"Are you still coming back for dinner?"
"Sigh, young people are always so impatient."
Qian Jue sighed, then looked at Tang Wulin. "The spirit fruit needs to be sealed in a container with dragon blood and left to sit for a while to be absorbed. Let's meditate and cultivate together for now."
"Together? This is my first time meditating with someone else..."
Tang Wulin glanced at Qian Jue, his face flushing red.
No, why are you staring at me and blushing? You've got the gender wrong, hey!
Qian Jue complained inwardly, but his body was honest as he took Tang Wulin's hand. "Focus your attention later and really feel the flow of your soul power."
Feeling the softness of Qian Jue's small hand, Tang Wulin felt a sudden, inexplicable flutter in his heart.
So fair and tender, it feels even more comfortable than Na'er's hand.
Wait, what did Qian Jue just say?
Suddenly, a gentle stream of soul power surged from Qian Jue's hands into Tang Wulin's body.
WHOOSH!!!
The moment their soul powers intersected, a violent burst of light erupted from where their hands met.
"ROAR--"
Two dragon roars echoed from the pair.
Unlike the water-like gentleness of cultivating with Gu Yue, the Golden Dragon King's soul power was filled with wild, surging intensity.
If one were to compare the two to love, the Silver Dragon King was a clear-headed indulgence, while the Golden Dragon King was a frantic possession.
A wave of dragon might rippled out; Gu Yue, merely standing nearby, felt her mind daze for a moment from the impact.
Qian Jue himself was a reincarnation, possessing an innate charm against dragon-type soul beasts and a special attack bonus against the Dragon God.
Now that their soul powers were fused, and Qian Jue carried the aura of the Golden Dragon King, he had become even more fragrant and delicious.
Hehehe, Junior Brother, you are such a fragrant, sweet, soft, and glutinous little cake.
On this side, golden light surged over Tang Wulin's body, and many scales sprouted on the skin of his right arm.
The previously uncontrollable, violent power became incredibly proactive at this moment.
Tang Wulin felt that his state was better than ever, with power surging forth in an endless stream.
To use an analogy, it was as if a long-blocked valve had been unscrewed, and the long-accumulated floodwaters were pouring out in a torrent.
But as time passed, the situation changed slightly.
Tang Wulin was astonished to find that his soul power was uncontrollably flowing back into Qian Jue's body.
However, the blood essence power within him was becoming increasingly full.
"Total soul power doubled, and recovery efficiency has also improved."
"Most importantly, my strength and blood essence have increased significantly."
Qian Jue discovered with surprise that he and Tang Wulin possessed a martial soul fusion skill.
No, strictly speaking, it was a blood essence fusion skill.
What he and Tang Wulin shared was not soul power, but blood essence power! Soul power was merely the bridge for their interaction.

Under the state of blood essence fusion, his and Tang Wulin's strength increased by 300%.
The two shared blood essence, with recovery speed and stamina tripled.
Moreover, Qian Jue and Tang Wulin could control the flow of blood essence; when all power was given to one person, that person could gain a nearly tenfold boost.
666, the greatest fortune of the Dragon Clan has arrived.
One punch, and if you don't die, you're a scrambled egg.
Right now, Tang Wulin's blood essence seemed to have gained a mind of its own, all of it being transported into Qian Jue's body through the connection of their soul power.
Having lost his blood essence, Tang Wulin's face turned pale, and his frame appeared slightly gaunt.
Yet, a satisfied smile remained on his face.
Because he could clearly perceive that through cultivating with Qian Jue, even though his blood essence was being drained, his soul power circulation had become even smoother.
But in Qian Jue's eyes, Tang Wulin, who was already teetering, was still smiling foolishly at him.
This guy looks like he's high on something.
The Dragon Rising Pillar was truly worthy of being a supreme treasure of the Dragon Clan.
In just this short while, Tang Wulin, who was known for his firm willpower, was acting as if he'd been drugged.
"Gu Yue, come over and help out; Tang Wulin has no strength left."
Receiving permission, Gu Yue kicked off her shoes, her small feet wrapped in white lace stepping onto the bed, and she wrapped herself around Qian Jue like an octopus.
The Silver Dragon King's soul power was transmitted from the soft parts of her body against his back.
"I told you to help him, not me!"
Qian Jue grumbled inwardly, but the pure soul power of the Silver Dragon King felt so comfortable that he briefly abandoned all thought.
Forget it, forget it; this is actually quite nice.
Gradually, the gold and silver colors on Qian Jue began to merge, transforming into a brilliant, nine-colored orb of light.
The Golden Dragon King's blood essence and the Silver Dragon King's soul power were entirely absorbed by him, only to be fed back to both parties through Qian Jue, who acted as a conduit.
Tang Wulin finally caught a moment of respite. The influx of soul power temporarily slowed the rate of blood essence transfer, and combined with the energy Qian Jue fed back to him, his complexion gradually regained a healthy flush.
As expected, following Xiao Qian to cultivate is definitely the best decision I've ever made in my life.
Deep within the sea of consciousness.
Tang San's divine sense watched the crumbling seal and the sudden, violent surge of blood essence from Wulin, his heart burning with rage.
"Golden Dragon King, what exactly are you trying to do?!"
From within the seal, a weak voice filled with madness and hysteria drifted out:
"I want to get out!"
"I want to regain my freedom!"
"I want to... see her one more time..."
This 'her' likely referred to Qian Jue.
But as one half of the Dragon God, who could possibly make the Golden Dragon King erupt with such intense desire?
It even surpassed the hatred he felt for his own enemy when he was on the verge of death all those years ago.
Tang San's divine sense could not fathom the reason.
However, looking at the current situation, Tang Wulin and Qian Jue cultivating together was definitely more beneficial than harmful.
The Golden Dragon King was consciously manipulating the overflowing blood essence. Although most of it was taken by Qian Jue, even the small portion that remained was of immense help in improving Tang Wulin's physical constitution.
Tang San's divine sense raised a hand, manipulating the power of the seal to force the briefly awakened Golden Dragon King back into a deep slumber.
"If I leave things as they are, most of the Golden Dragon King's original essence might eventually be absorbed by this child named Qian Jue."
"No, I have to think of a way."
Tang San's divine sense racked his brain, putting his ten thousand years of wisdom as a God King to work.
With that, he pulled Tang Wulin into the sea of consciousness.
"Eh? How did I come back here again?"
Tang Wulin blinked. This wasn't his first time in this dark place, and he had already grown accustomed to it.
"Hello, Grandpa. May I ask why you've summoned me?"
"Naturally, it is for something good."
Tang San's divine sense waved a hand, and the scene of Qian Jue and Tang Wulin cultivating in the outside world appeared before them.
"Through this martial soul fusion, not only has your cultivation improved, but your adaptability to absorbing the Golden Dragon King's power has also increased."
"The most direct result is that the grade of spirit items required for the next three seals can be lowered by one or two tiers."
"Ah?"
"That's great!"
Tang Wulin cheered. This would save him a massive amount of money.
Ever since he became a soul master, he had learned just how expensive the path could be. Tang Wulin had long since been terrified of being poor; otherwise, he wouldn't have gone to work as a blacksmith at such a young age.
Tang San's divine sense remained silent for a moment before beginning to coax him:
"In the future, when you cultivate with Qian Jue, remember not to pour your blood essence into him unconditionally. You can try to plunder a bit of his original blood essence; this will be more advantageous for your future absorption of the Golden Dragon King's power."
"Your Blue Silver Grass will mutate in the future, perhaps even becoming the legendary Blue Silver Emperor! When that time comes, cultivating with Qian Jue will yield twice the result with half the effort."
Tang Wulin was nine years old—not exactly a child anymore—and he understood a thing or two.
Hearing the word "plunder," a trace of wariness rose in his heart.
"That doesn't seem right..."
To dispel Tang Wulin's concerns, Tang San's divine sense said, "This is called a proactive investment, child. Once you become stronger, won't you be able to share more blood essence with Qian Jue during your next cultivation session?"
"Alright then, I'll give it a try if the opportunity arises."
Tang San's divine sense smiled, then allowed Tang Wulin's consciousness to return.
All he had to do now was accumulate strength. Once the Blue Silver Emperor awakened and possessed the devouring talent, he would extract the purified Golden Dragon King essence from Qian Jue's body and feed it back to Tang Wulin in its entirety.
In this way, Tang Wulin would not lose the power of the Golden Dragon King and would even gain an additional portion of strength.
Hahaha.
To come up with such a brilliant plan to kill two birds with one stone—truly, I am worthy of myself.
