The Ancestral Dragon's Essence Blood

"What's this?"

The woman took out a brocade box, inside which was a jade bottle.

This caught Zhang Xuezhou's attention and aroused his suspicion.

If it were a powerful medicine for healing, it's unlikely that the woman would refuse to take it herself and instead give it to Rong Tianding.

If it's something high-risk, Zhang Xuezhou must find out the details. After all, he really wants to wait until sunrise to see if exposing Rong Tianding to the sun can revive him, rather than making a hasty decision and causing Rong Tianding further distress.

"This is a treasure, all I can say is that it's a treasure," the woman emphasized. "If I weren't trying to escape, even if you knelt and begged me, I wouldn't give you a single penny!"

Can it really be cured?

"I don't know if it can be cured, but it's the best treasure in the world. You'll never have another chance like this!"

Seeing the doubt in Zhang Xuezhou's eyes, the woman couldn't help but feel anxious.

As dawn broke, her time to escape while the light was dim was dwindling.

"This is dragon blood, the Essence Blood of the ancestral dragon..."

With a low, clenched voice, the woman recounted the origin of this treasure.

"This is a treasure that connects heaven and earth. Non-Self body hadn't been severely injured and bleeding so badly that I couldn't bear it, I would have taken it right now," the woman said.

"Is there really such a wonderful treasure? Why didn't you take it when you weren't bleeding?" Zhang Xuezhou asked suspiciously. "Even if you stole it, why didn't you take it when others had it?"

"Because this thing has some drawbacks!"

What are the drawbacks?

"Excessive rigidity leads to breakage; rashly taking it can easily result in sudden death!"

The woman pointed to the jade vase, then to Rong Tianding.

"He's almost dead, I think you can give it a try," the woman said. "Besides, in principle, this is an extremely hard substance, while corpse energy is a yin and dark substance, so it should be able to counteract it in some way, and will most likely eliminate its effects!"

The woman was knowledgeable in some Yin-Yang theories, so using dragon blood to infuse Rong Tianding wasn't entirely reckless.

Zhang Xuezhou only pondered for a few seconds before agreeing.

Compared to sunbathing, using a woman's private parts to treat Rong Tianding significantly increases the chances of having a child.

If sunbathing has a one in a thousand chance of bringing Rong Tianding back to life, then consuming this dragon's blood has clearly increased that chance to one percent.

Zhang Xuezhou agreed, which prompted the woman to quickly take out a silver needle.

The silver needle was inserted into the jade bottle, and a tiny drop of golden blood stained the tip of the needle.

Rong Tianding's mouth was pried open, the silver needle was twirled around in his mouth, and then it was pulled out.

That's it?

The blood from the silver needle was swept away from Rong Tianding's mouth, and Rong Tianding showed no change whatsoever, which made Zhang Xuezhou look at the woman in confusion.

"That's it," the woman nodded. "Your cousin was already dead, his body was ice-cold. You can't expect me to put a single drop of my blood in and he'll instantly come back to life!"

"That..."

"You have to wait, wait for this blood to seep into every part of his body," the woman said. "That will take some time!"

"Then let's wait a bit!" Zhang Xuezhou, his eyes slightly lowered.

"He might see results soon enough. You can cast a spell to help me now," the woman said happily. "That won't waste any time!"

"I'm sorry, my cousin's death has left me distraught, making it difficult for me to perform the ritual properly!"

Zhang Xuezhou waved his hand in refusal.

He's willing to make trades, but he doesn't want to be taken advantage of.

If the woman were to simply offer him some golden liquid to deceive him, it would extinguish any remaining hope Zhang Xuezhou had.

His current misfortune is unclear, and there are no more great fortuitous opportunity to defy fate. Unless the other party is a top-tier benefactor who takes care of him, or the other party is even more unlucky than him, Zhang Xuezhou's luck can not play a role.

Calling the woman a noblewoman is a bit of an exaggeration, but the fact that she managed to escape the palace's pursuit suggests she wasn't someone of ill fortune.

Zhang Xuezhou had thought it through clearly, and he simply remained silent in response to the woman.

"You... you... you..."

The woman's fingers trembled.

The treasure was taken out, but Zhang Xuezhou didn't do any work.

But logically speaking, Zhang Xuezhou is not wrong.

That's the gist of the matter: the other party's cousin died, and he's so distraught that he's finding it difficult to perform magic.

If a woman has just lost her siblings, whether she can perform at her normal level is also a question.

"I'd like to add a few more things!"

She fumbled in her sleeve pocket for a long time before finally taking out a small white cloth bag.

When the cloth bag was opened, a medicinal fragrance wafted out.

When Zhang Xuezhou glanced at her, the woman very carefully separated a pinch of powder and put it into Rong Tianding's mouth.

"This is a wonderful treasure. It can activate the dragon's blood, making it react faster," the woman said. "If my guess is correct, your cousin will see some effects in ten breaths!"

As the woman held up her fingers, Zhang Xuezhou began counting with each breath.

But in less than ten breaths, Rong Tianding's pale face regained some color, his body began to warm up, and grayish-black stains began to be expelled from his skin.

"Look at his body. If we can have someone retrieve his soul, he'll definitely come back to life," the woman said. "Now you should believe me, and you can heal my wounds!"

"I..."

"Don't push your luck. If you really make sure I can't leave Chang'an City today, I'll stab your cousin to death with my sword, so you'll see that you'll lose any chance of survival!"

While it would be difficult to use Rong Tianding Rong Tianding blackmail after his death, the fact that he regained a sliver of vitality clearly allowed the woman to exploit him.

She reached down and drew the short sword from her waist, its blade pressed against Rong Tianding's neck.

"I'm preparing to calm myself and heal your wounds!"

Zhang Xuezhou abruptly changed the subject, then chanted an incantation, unleashing the Supreme Purity True Technique.

His previous Supreme Purity True Technique could only treat external injuries; he couldn't cure internal bleeding like uterine bleeding in women, but now he does have the relevant abilities.

However, Zhang Xuezhou's Supreme Purity True Technique was not at the level where a single technique could forcibly cure a disease; therefore, he needed to release the Supreme Purity True Technique multiple times to complete the treatment.

Moreover, the Supreme Purity True Technique only treats the symptoms, not the root cause; it stops bleeding but cannot suppress a woman's physiological functions.

While performing the procedure, Zhang Xuezhou also offered corresponding warnings.

This made the woman nod, and she put the short sword back.

What she needed right now was to stop the bleeding. As long as she stopped bleeding from her uterus, the breath in her lower Dantian wouldn't be released, allowing her to use her lightness technique at a normal level.

As for adjusting one's physical condition, that's something for later.

If all else fails, she can choose to terminate the pregnancy to ensure her own safety.

As the Law Power attacked, the woman felt a constant warmth in her abdomen, and the fragile little thing was once again tightly welded to the mother's body by the Technique Method.

"One more time!"

A familiar feeling of healing welled up in the woman's heart, and she couldn't help but ask Zhang Xuezhou to perform another technique.

She was just a little short before, but now with an extra trick, she'll definitely be able to scale the city walls and escape Chang'an City.

Once Zhang Xuezhou released his ultimate Taiqing Supreme Purity True Technique, she leaped over the wall and sprinted towards the street.

At the same time, Rong Tianding's low murmur rang out almost simultaneously.
