Nine Star Hegemon Body Arts

Chapter 1851: Fully Refining the Golden Dragon Teeth

Gu Yang finally couldn't endure any longer . However, he had absorbed thirty-seven drops of the metal devouring evil dragon's essence blood, far surpassing Long Chen's expectations .

He had originally guessed that Gu Yang's limit would be around twenty drops, but Gu Yang's will was strong enough to suppress the blood of the metal devouring evil dragon .

After absorbing the essence blood, Gu Yang sat on the ground, his face a bit pale as his veins bulged . It was vaguely possible to see golden blood flowing within his body .

"Next . "

Following him was Li Qi . He absorbed twenty-three drops before reaching his limit and being blown back .

After Li Qi was Song Mingyuan . He absorbed twenty-four drops before coughing up two large mouthfuls of blood . He received quite an injury, almost having the metal devouring evil dragon's will invade his mind-sea . Long Chen was forced to suppress it .

After them were the squad leaders . They were also very powerful, with each person absorbing around fifteen drops . Some of them absorbed one or two drops more or less than the others, which meant that the difference between them was quite small . Of course, this statement was only true if you ignored the one twitching on the ground .

The ordinary Dragonblood warriors had a limit of ten drops, but that was very gratifying . They had already surpassed Long Chen's expectations . Their tough wills were comparable to any peak genius .

Originally, he had estimated that he would have half of the metal devouring evil dragon's essence blood left once everyone was done absorbing it, but now it was almost used up . There were less than a hundred drops left .

"Boss, do you think I can handle a drop of it?" asked Xia Chen . All the men had finished absorbing it . Even some of the women had absorbed it .

Now, he was the only man who hadn't absorbed it, along with Meng Qi, Tang Wan-er, and the healing disciples . His face was burning hot .

"I don't think you should . Although you have gone through the upgrade of the blood essence stone and the blood soul stone, your physical body doesn't have that much potential . A single drop can take your life . Furthermore, your profession is a grand formation master . That's an extremely rare and noble profession . Why envy others?" Long Chen shook his head .

"It's because he can't out-drink anyone in the Dragonblood Legion or out-fight them, and he's too embarrassed to out-curse them . He wants to blend in," said Tang Wan-er with a smile .

Long Chen came to a realization . Xia Chen was more delicate than the rest of the Dragonblood Legion . If he wore a scholar's band, he would look just like a scholar, which wasn't the same style as the rest of the coarse Dragonblood Legion .

"It's not that . I'm getting along very well with everyone in the Dragonblood Legion," said Xia Chen awkwardly .

"Since you've joined the Dragonblood Legion, we're a family, so you don't need to compete or try to make yourself more like everyone else . Don't force yourself to be someone you're not," said Long Chen, patting Xia Chen on the shoulder . Xia Chen wasn't very talkative and was more reserved . Long Chen was a bit worried he felt out of place .

"You've misunderstood . I have a different reason for wanting to absorb that metal devouring evil dragon essence blood . I have a crazy idea . I want to create a formation connected through bloodlines . If it works, then supported by bloodline power, we won't need to use outer runes to merge our energy . It will increase the efficiency, increasing our power while decreasing the exhaustion rate," said Xia Chen .

Long Chen and the others were surprised . So Xia Chen had actually thought of something like this . If it really worked, the Dragonblood Legion would completely transform .

"Your physical body isn't strong enough . It would kill you . But I can erase ninety percent of the metal devouring evil dragon's will before sending it into your body . That should be the limit that your body can endure . It should be enough for your purposes," said Long Chen after a moment's thought .

"Good! I just need to have the ability to feel it and see if I can make a formation so that the power of everyone's Spirit Blood can be joined together," said Xia Chen excitedly .

Long Chen extracted a drop of essence blood . He erased ninety percent of the power within it before slowly sending it into Xia Chen's body .

However, even having ninety percent of its power erased, Xia Chen turned pale, his whole body trembling .

Xia Chen was a formation cultivator . His energy was mostly focused on his soul . Formation cultivators could be called a kind of soul cultivator, and their weak physical bodies were something that they couldn't do anything about .

"Alright, they're in seclusion refining the essence blood . The rest of you don't need to be envious . There's good stuff for you as well . "

Long Chen called over Meng Qi and the others . Taking out a large roasting sheet, he showed them a large fish that he had already finished cooking .

"Come, I'm treating you to some fish . " Long Chen smiled .

"Alright, then we'll have a taste of boss's craftsmanship . " The healing disciples were mostly women . Seeing the piping hot fish, they took out their knives and forks .

"Yes, this fish is definitely delicious . "

"It melts as soon as it enters the mouth . Its fragrance overflows . What kind of fish is this? It's so good!" exclaimed Tang Wan-er .

"I heard it's called Scarlet Blood Spirit Fish . The taste is alright . " Long Chen also took a big bite .

The Scarlet Blood Spirit Fish wasn't just a treasure . It was famed for its flavor and was something said to be the main dish for major figures back in ancient times . Its taste truly lived up to the legends .

"Never heard of it, but it really is delicious," praised Tang Wan-er as she continued taking big bites .

Meng Qi was in the midst of chewing slowly and savoring it when she thought of what Long Chen had just said . Her eyes suddenly widened .

"What did you just say?! Scarlet Blood Spirit Fish?! The one with the heaven-defying ability to awaken one's bloodline, one of the most precious ancient treasures ever? That Scarlet Blood Spirit Fish?!"

"Well… I suppose… if you wanted to… you could put it that way . " Long Chen smiled .

Meng Qi's plate dropped to the ground . She grabbed Long Chen, shouting, "You fool, the most precious thing about the Scarlet Blood Spirit Fish is its blood! You… you actually roasted it?! Do you know, with such a giant fish, there would be at least a fifty percent chance of it being capable of awakening a person's bloodline power! Heavens, have you gone crazy?!"

The always calm Meng Qi had such a huge reaction . Seeing Long Chen destroy a priceless natural treasure like this, Meng Qi was speechless .

"So its blood is useful? Alright, next time I'll bleed it before baking it," said Long Chen .

"Next time? Wait a minute, you mean… you have more?!" Meng Qi's beautiful eyes stared at Long Chen with disbelief .

"Yes, as many as I want . Even if you wanted to eat it all day, I could satisfy you . " Long Chen winked .

"Long Chen, you're evil! You definitely did that on purpose!" raged Meng Qi upon realizing she had fallen for his teasing . She angrily pinched him, causing him to laugh .

It seemed that this was his first time managing to find such success teasing the ever calm Meng Qi . He felt truly accomplished .

Within the primal chaos space, he was constantly feeding the Scarlet Blood Spirit Fish, and they were constantly breeding and growing . Now, Long Chen had over seven hundred fish kings that were more than three meters long .

As for those a meter long, there were tens of thousands of them, and he couldn't count the even smaller ones . As long as he continued to feed them, they would continue reproducing .

That was why Long Chen dared to take out a fish king as a snack . Its taste was even better than he had expected .

In an incense stick's worth of a time, a three-meter fish king was finished by over fifty people .

Long Chen proposed roasting another one, but Tang Wan-er shook her head, saying that if she ate another one, her stomach would explode since she wouldn't be able to stop herself .

After a fish king had entered their stomachs, they felt completely relaxed, even lazy . Tang Wan-er leaned against Meng Qi, feeling an urge to sleep .

Meng Qi looked at the Dragonblood warriors who were covered in sweat as they refined the dragon essence blood . They had entered a bitter meditative state . She couldn't help saying, "Is it really alright for us to be enjoying fish while they're like that?"

"That's called different people have different fates . Don't pity them . Once they refined the essence blood, you'll have to be the ones envying them . Wan-er, I'll be preparing a Scarlet Blood Spirit Fish for each one of you . You can absorb their essence blood . As for the actual fish, I'm sure you have your own methods . Whether you boil or steam it, roast or bake it, it's up to you . In any case, its flavor is locked in its flesh and won't interfere with anything else . Meng Qi, I'll need your help . Help me refine the dragon teeth . Evilmoon is in seclusion, so I need them . "

During the next while, Meng Qi and Long Chen began working on refining the seventy-one golden dragon teeth, slowly erasing the metal devouring evil dragon's will .

Tang Wan-er and the others were the most blessed, absorbing the Scarlet Blood Spirit Fish's essence blood while enjoying its taste .

A week passed . With Meng Qi's help, Long Chen had finally finished wiping away the original will of the dragon teeth . He no longer needed to worry about a backlash .

Now he could nourish them with his mind . Other than Evilmoon, he had new divine items, divine items that he could control with his soul . That filled him with confidence .

If Xie Luo, Ming Jie, or True Immortal Jiaoqi had been forced to the point of unleashing the full power of their divine items, he would have been at a disadvantage before this . That was especially true of Ming Jie . While Long Chen thought that he would be able to endure it himself, the rest of the Dragonblood Legion wouldn't have been able to .

With the dragon teeth refined, Long Chen left the rest of the fish kings with Meng Qi and the others, letting them slowly absorb them .

Reviving their bloodlines was a somewhat slow process with low chances of success . Long Chen had them absorb the Scarlet Blood Spirit Fish's essence blood slowly and temporarily not go out . Once the Dragonblood warriors finished refining the dragon essence blood, he would impart the Dragon Blood Body Tempering Art to them .

He recorded the method for training in the Dragon Blood Body Tempering Art in photographic jades and left it for them .

After arranging everything, he stealthily slipped away . In the end, he still wished to fulfill Yan Nantian's request . Although Ye Lingshan was definitely also searching, he couldn't place all his hopes on her .

Leaving the mountain valley, Long Chen looked at the map . Choosing a location that others hadn't stepped into yet, he began flying over .
