CHAPTER 533: CHAPTER 99: DARK BEAST BLOOD CRYSTAL

As an Engraving Master, Yue Jinghua developed a keen interest in the Dragon Patterns on the Dragon Rider Armor of the Imperial Dragon Knights after witnessing Jin Nuo summon a Black Dragon.

After getting to know Jin Nuo and learning that her elder brother Yue Minzhi might join the Dragon Rider Team, Yue Jinghua instructed Hongling to gather information about Dragon Knights and Contracted Dragons.

The earliest Dragon Knights did not need Dragon Patterns; they could summon giant dragons directly, as most of them were fluent in the Dragon Clan Language or could directly communicate with dragons through Divine Sense or language.

After the disappearance of the Holy Dragon Clan, who were proficient in human Spiritual Sense, from the continent, the direct communication link between Dragon Knights and the Dragon Clan seemed to be severed overnight.

Years of plunder and slaughter filled the Dark Beasts with deep-seated hatred towards Dark Practitioners.

Only a very few Sub-Asian Dragons were willing to forge contracts with Dragon Knights; even so, the Dragon Knights could no longer get close to the Sub-Asian Dragons as before.

The Sub-Asian Dragons, survivors on the continent, could not communicate normally with humans.

At that time, a great Divine Pattern Master invented the first Dragon Pattern on the continent.

The existence of the Dragon Pattern broke the awkward situation where humans could no longer communicate with Sub-Asian Dragons following the disappearance of the Holy Dragon Clan.

It not only provided a temporary resting place for Sub-Asian Dragons but also functioned similar to a modern translator, facilitating the communication of Divine Sense between Dragon Knights and Sub-Asian Dragons, exchanging thoughts—a groundbreaking invention across species.

A Dragon Knight, upon gaining recognition from a Sub-Asian Dragon, was qualified to fuse his own fresh blood with the dragon’s, creating a Dragon Pattern on the armor.

After becoming a Tattoo Master, Yue Jinghua inevitably became curious about various patterns, hence conjuring a method to heal Black Beauty and requested this piece of Dragon Armor.

Jin Nuo, as one of the elite members of the Dragon Rider Team and the captain of the Black Dragon Camp, had exquisitely crafted Dragon Rider Armor made from precious materials.

Every piece of armor was polished from hard yet lightweight mineral crystal, smooth as a mirror to the touch; it could not only block general Dark Energy attacks but also isolate most poisons.

Although the Dragon Rider Armor was excellent, Yue Jinghua now possessed the Rao Ri Armor. After briefly examining the construction of the Dragon Armor, she placed her hand on that Dragon Pattern.

The Dragon Pattern itself was exclusive, one knight, one dragon, one pattern.

However, special circumstances exist. If authorized by the Dragon Knight, and if his Sub-Asian Dragon can communicate Spiritually with a third person, that third person can also summon the Sub-Asian Dragon via the Dragon Pattern.

Yue Jinghua is a Summoner, communicating with Dark Beast Spiritual Sense is as simple for her as eating, drinking, and counting Gold Coins.

But currently, Black Beauty was injured, and both its Divine Sense and body were at their weakest, even Yue Jinghua had to use some Divine Sense to awaken it.

After summoning the Black Dragon, Yue Jinghua immediately moved it into Mo Xi’s Sea of Consciousness.

Feeling the rich Spiritual Energy around it, Black Beauty barely lifted its heavy eyelids and let out a cry similar to a child’s.

Green poisonous blood flowed from its left wing on the back, revealing the pale and grim dragon bones underneath.

The Wind Blade of the Sky Bandit Leader was formidable, the injury was even worse than Yue Jinghua had anticipated.

Without hesitation, she gathered a surge of Nine Revolutions Star Creation Power in her palm and channeled it into the wound on the Black Sky Winged Dragon.

Like a child running a high fever suddenly soothed by an ice pack, Black Beauty felt the pain on the wound slowly dissipating.

The wound felt as if countless tiny insects were wriggling on it, causing an itching sensation.

The wound was healing rapidly, with green poisonous blood continuously flowing out, until finally, the green blood gradually returned to its normal red color.

Black Beauty shook her round, plump head, opened her eyes, and showed a hint of moisture in her dragon eyes. She stretched out her pink dragon tongue and gave Yue Jinghua a solid lick on her face.

"You really know how to curry favor," Yue Jinghua chuckled. She thought for a moment, winked at Black Beauty, and revealed a standard wolfish grin, "Black Beauty, how about you give me some of your dragon blood?"

Ever since breaking through to Dark Heavenly, and obtaining the method to craft Dark Beast Vein Crystals, Yue Jinghua had always wanted to try crafting a vein crystal.

Dark Beast Vein Crystals come in several types, the most basic being the Dark Beast Blood Crystal, which can be crafted using the flesh and blood of high-level Dark Beasts, to transform the physique of Dark Practitioners or Dark Beasts, gradually giving them the formidable physique of a higher-level Dark Beast.

Next is the Dark Beast Bone Crystal, which must be crafted using the bones and Dark Pills of high-level Dark Beasts, allowing Dark Practitioners or Dark Beasts to quickly acquire the formidable physique of a Dark Beast.

The last type, also the most difficult to craft, is called the Dark Beast Soul Crystal.

It requires the melting of a peak Dark Beast or even a Holy Beast that possesses a Primordial Spirit to be crafted.

Once a Soul Crystal is crafted and embedded within the body, it can endow the Dark Practitioner or Dark Beast with the peak Dark Beast or even Holy Beast’s innate Dark Techniques or even their legacy.

Yue Jinghua had only recently acquired the method of crafting Dark Beast Vein Crystals, and had never attempted it before. In a moment of inspiration upon seeing Black Dragon’s endlessly bleeding wound, she conceived the idea of using the blood from this wound to craft her first Dark Beast Blood Crystal.

Moreover, dragon blood is also one of the essential components for drawing dragon patterns.

Black Beauty obediently lay to the side, allowing a certain shameless person to collect several large bottles of dragon blood.

Of course, Yue Jinghua would not take advantage of Black Dragon for nothing. After collecting the blood, she generously gave Black Beauty two drops of Green Liquid.

Although Dark Beasts do not possess the high intelligence of the Human Race,

they are not fools, especially the Sub-Asian Dragons, whose veins flow with the blood of the Holy Dragon Clan, making them more astute than typical Dark Beasts.

Their way of expressing gratitude and affection is more direct and keen than humans; in their view, they trust whoever truly cares for them. Correspondingly, Yue Jinghua’s Green Liquid and Dark Skill have significant effects on Black Dragon.

After absorbing the Green Liquid, Black Sky Winged Dragon, although unable to express in words, clearly appreciated the exceptionally rich Dark Power in this Star Sea.

Under the dual effects of massive blood loss and the Green Liquid, Black Dragon closed its eyes and emitted a comfortable snore.

Yue Jinghua held a bottle of fresh dragon blood in her left hand and slowly kindled the Dun Qinglian Fire in her right hand, recalling the method for crafting Dark Beast Blood Crystals.

The mouth of the bottle slightly tilted, the viscous dragon blood, like chunks of fat red, hovered in mid-air.

The flames of the Dun Qinglian Fire rapidly engulfed the dragon blood, quickly forming more than ten evenly-sized elliptical rudiments.

Under the effect of the bluish flames, the elliptical shapes were gradually sculpted into dazzling crystals. With an alchemy background, crafting Dark Beast Blood Crystals was not particularly challenging.

Yue Jinghua flicked her wrist, and ten relic-like crystals fell into her hands.

With a slight pinch of her fingers, a surge of thick and impulsive Dark Power burst forth from the newly crafted Dark Beast Blood Crystal.
