Chapter 92: Opening the First Layer of Linglong's Treasure Pagoda
A moment later, Huang Xiaolong canceled the soul transformation. The blue and black dragon scales on his arms as well as the two tattooed dragon heads on his back disappeared. Tiredness strikes him suddenly.
Although the soul transformation increased his strength and strength many times over, it also consumed a lot of battle qi; moreover, Huang Xiaolong had just ascended to the Seventh Order.
After Huang Xiaolong returned to his normal self, small blue light dots shimmered all over his body, and as they shone, the fatigue Huang Xiaolong felt from the soul transformation disappeared instantly. His battle Qi along his meridians recovered within a few seconds.
This was Huang Xiaolong's third martial spirit ability after breaking through to the Seventh Order: Instant Recovery!
Instant Recovery!
In roughly a moment, Huang Xiaolong had fully recovered the depleted battle qi!
Although it took him ten seconds to recover his battle qi completely, it was already a heaven-defying level ability. From a certain aspect, this Instant Recovery was stronger than Space Concealment and Phantom Shadow.
Combining Instant Recovery with Space Concealment, Huang Xiaolong did not have to worry about the side effects of depleted battle qi.
Well, the only 'failure' for this ability is to only be able to recover battle qi and not heal wounds.
Ten seconds later, Huang Xiaolong's battle qi had fully recovered; he disappeared right on the spot and disappeared with him was the seat next to him. Ten breaths later, Huang Xiaolong reappeared from space.
Out of space concealment, Huang Xiaolong continued to test his abilities, appearing and disappearing several meters away, and in the blink of an eye, he was over ten meters away from his original spot.
After the second transformation, in addition to awakening the third ability, the previous two abilities were stronger.
Previously, entering the hiding room, he could only enter by himself whereas now, he could bring in others. And with the Phantom Shadow ability, he could actually shift his position with his will within ten meters, teleporting. His speed was twice as fast as Lu Kai had with the Sky Peng martial spirit!
Huang Xiaolong took a deep breath while his heart rejoiced. He had not expected that he would have any new abilities after his martial spirit evolved a second time and the first two had such an improvement.
Then, Huang Xiaolong summoned the Linglong Treasure Pagoda.
According to what Yu Ming said, he could open the first layer once he broke through to the Seventh Order.
Huang Xiaolong initiated the afterlife battle qi in both palms, and as per Yu Ming's instructions, sent his battle qi to the pagoda. When the afterlife battle qi entered the Linglong Treasure Pagoda, it shone brightly and absorbed Huang Xiaolong's battle qi. He was somewhat surprised by his reaction, and without warning, Huang Xiaolong's eyes blurred as he appeared in a different space.
This space was not large, only a few hundred square meters with a height of ten meters. In the four directions there were walls made of unknown materials.
"This is the first floor space inside the Linglong Treasure Pagoda?" Huang Xiaolong scanned the surroundings with wide eyes; this situation did not match Yu Ming's description.
This Linglong Treasure Pagoda Room actually allowed its owner to step inside?
Doesn't that mean….!
Overcoming his shock, he was very pleased that he saw the spiritual aura inside the Linglong Treasure Pagoda thicker and much purer than outside. Furthermore, above the sky, radiant fire dragon qi flowed upwards, forming a thick group of fire dragon qi clouds. If he were to cultivate within this space absorbing the fire dragon qi clouds, it would be much more effective than cultivating in the Dragon Flame Valley.
Floating above these clouds were red beads the size of a thumb, and sparkled as they reflected light like stars twinkling in the night sky. However, the stars were white, and these beads gleamed a fiery red.
"The Flame Dragon Pearl!" A thought flashed across Huang Xiaolong's brain.
One two three!
Huang Xiaolong slowly counted one by one and reached one hundred and eight!
His eyes sparkled, a hundred and eight Flame Dragon Pearls!
This number was beyond his expectations. This amount of Fire Dragon Pearls was enough for himself to cultivate for quite some time and even share them with his parents and younger siblings.
Suddenly at this point, a fiery red light fell on Huang Xiaolong and enveloped him before he could react. Furthermore, in Huang Xiaolong's mind, a physical cultivation technique came up with information about the Golden Linglong Body.
Linglong's Golden Body had a total of nine layers, and each layer carried a mystical effect, and when one reached the ninth layer to reach Linglong's Treasure Body, one would have to face the other, the person's body would be as strong as Linglong's Treasure Pagoda, almost invincible.
Huang Xiaolong repeated the spell once in his mind, and a few seconds later, he sat down cross-legged and started practicing. In the blink of an eye, a layer of fiery red golden light that was similar to the Linglong Treasure Pagoda exploded from Huang Xiaolong's body.
A few hours later, Huang Xiaolong finally stopped. During these few hours of practice, Huang Xiaolong observed that there was a mystical force that strengthened his muscles, bones, tendons, and skin surface, increasing his overall defense.
After stopping his training, Huang Xiaolong turned his attention to the glittering red pearl hanging above the thick red clouds. With a thought, his right hand moved one of the Flame Dragon Pearls.
In his palm, the Flame Dragon Pearl felt slightly hot, like a fire pearl burning at a temperature of fifty to sixty celsius.
Huang Xiaolong opened his mouth and threw the fire-red pearl into his mouth --the moment the Fire Dragon Pearl reached his stomach, it turned into streams of hot energy that flowed into every corner of his body.
Sensing this, Huang Xiaolong quickly calmed back down and ran the Asura Tactics to perfect the flow of heat energy. The afterlife battle qi in his meridians became active, surging and crashing all the time while the dark gray color started to slowly turn into light gray.
The process of the same thing appeared again, just like when he was cultivating in the Dragon Flame Valley. The black dirt mixed with blood formed a layer on his skin, and this dirt was hidden deep within his body, not a normal one.
A few more hours passed.
A layer of hardened blood and dirt covered Huang Xiaolong.
One day passes and the layer of dirt breaks off when a new layer of waste is knocked out again, and the process repeats itself again.
After five days, it stopped.
Huang Xiaolong needed one day to fully purify one Flame Dragon Pearl, and every time he completed one, he would take another pearl from the clouds while continuing to swallow and cultivate. Within ten days, he had purified ten Fire Dragon Pearls. He stopped when he finished the tenth ratna and stood up, feeling very relaxed and comfortable from head to toe, akin to throwing a hundred jin load.
The ten days of practice resulted in Huang Xiaolong's strength increasing again, approaching the peak of the early Seventh Order.
According to Huang Xiaolong's estimation, if he continued to stay and train in Linglong's Treasure Pagoda room while swallowing the Flame Dragon Pearl, within two more weeks, he could reach the peak of the early Seventh Order, he could reach the peak of the original Seventh Order, and given two months time – mid - Seventh Order.
However, with this cultivation speed, even if he monopolized the hundred and eight Flame Dragon pearls, it could only last three to four months.
That, and the speed of the Linglong Treasure Pagoda condensed one pearl, even ten days was not enough to complete one pearl. Therefore, Huang Xiaolong had to think of a method that would speed up the process.
