CHAPTER 173: 173 - IMPROVED BLOODLINE

The journey to the sect was quiet, and Qingyi spent most of the time with Feiyan and Qingxue, trying to gain as many lust points as possible.

Fortunately, they didn’t have too many disturbances, as everyone believed that Qingxue was focusing on recovering, with Qingyi and Feiyan helping her.

When they arrived at the sect, Jinhai was already there and had reinforced the defenses throughout Golden Cloud City, leaving the sect in a state of full alert.

After briefly saying goodbye to Feiyan and Qingxue, the handsome young man immediately went to a private cultivation room and locked himself in.

With an excited sigh, he opened his status screen.

"System, how do I assimilate the blood essence of the scarlet dragon?" Qingyi asked.

[You need to come into contact with the corpse to extract the blood essence first. After drinking it, you must move it towards your dantian and fuse it with your draconic Qi].

Listening to the system’s instructions, Qingyi closed his eyes, appearing outside the temple in the world of Ruxue’s mind.

On the horizon, a colossal dragon carcass could be seen, still exuding powerful Qi even so long after its death.

"Look who remembered our existence!" A spiritual beauty appeared at Qingyi’s side, hugging him tightly, her massive breasts pressing against his ribs and enveloping them in a soft, warm embrace.

"It’s about time you got that thing out of here. Elize would end up making a stew out of it if you didn’t come soon," she smiled softly at the dragon carcass.

"I don’t think that would be a bad idea. Meat from powerful beasts takes a long time to spoil, doesn’t it? It should feed the girls for months."

Qingyi returned the smile as he grabbed her slim, delicate waist, planting a short, sweet kiss on her full, purple lips.

"Speaking of them, where are they?" He asked, looking around.

The temple was completely silent.

"Training behind closed doors. A certain neglectful husband hadn’t visited them for a few days and they decided to focus everything on cultivation. Elize and Yueli are already close to advancing to the golden core realm."

"I’ll make up for it, I promise," Qingyi said, feeling a pang in his heart.

Elize and Yueli had already advanced so far, it wouldn’t be long before they reached the iron body realm.

As he approached the dragon carcass and asked for instructions on how to remove the blood essence from the system, Qingyi’s mind flashed to when Elize told him her story.

"Have you ever heard of a family of dragon riders?" He asked

"Hmm... I’ve never seen anyone crazy enough to even think about trying to ride a dragon."

"Not that kind of dragon." Qingyi placed his palm on the scarlet dragon’s scales.

"I’m talking about four-legged beasts, more like lizards that spit fire and fly through the sky, ridden by knights whose bodies are completely covered in metal plates."

"Hmm..." Ruxue reflected for a moment. "Why do you want to know that?"

"I believe they are related to Elize’s family."

"That’s impossible," Ruxue shook her head.

"I know that family, but it’s impossible that Elize is from that family. They don’t use Qi like we do, but another type of energy called mana. Besides, they are a family of the immortal sky.

Even if by some miracle Elize was born with a spiritual root instead of a mana heart, how would she end up here?"

"Ah... It’s a long story." Qingyi pushed his Qi towards the scarlet dragon’s body, his eyes shining with a strange light.

Ruxue could ask Elize directly if necessary.

An immortal sky family... if that was true, Elize’s origin was probably even deeper than he thought.

Now he understood why they had tried to discard her, even with her talent.

Even his current talent was only mediocre in the immortal heaven, and his spiritual roots were infinitely superior to Elize’s.

Focusing his mind, he began to extract the scarlet dragon’s blood essence.

Slowly, he felt something respond inside the meridians of the beast’s corpse, whose powerful aura began to dry quickly, flowing towards Qingyi’s fingers like tiny golden drops.

"Is that the blood essence of a pure blood dragon?" Qingyi questioned as the drops of fluid floated down his fingers.

From the depths of his Dantian, he could already feel his draconic Qi responding to that blood.

He stored the blood in a small vial before turning to Ruxue, giving one last grab to those huge boobs and a firm slap to that plump ass.

Before leaving, he bought two breakthrough pills for Elize and Yueli, handing them to Ruxue and instructing her to use the corpse as she wished.

Back in the cultivation room, he hesitated for a brief moment before swallowing the blood. At the same time, he clicked to improve his constitution.

His body was seized by a horrible pain, but he was already used to it.

Gritting his teeth, he felt the blood in his stomach and the strangely familiar Qi surrounding him.

With a little difficulty, he began to break down this Qi, slowly taking it to his meridians and guiding it to the draconic Qi in his dantian.

The pain became even worse as the two Qi collided. The space around Qingyi’s body shook violently and the walls of the cultivation room were about to collapse.

But Qingyi held on, feeling the Qi being converted, new strands of draconic Qi slowly emerging in his dantian.

First, just one, small and subtle, but soon came a second and a third.

Only when he reached the tenth thread of draconic Qi did Qingyi open his eyes.

A shockwave erupted from his body, expanding throughout the cultivation room with a deafening roar.

He floated in the air for a brief moment before landing softly on the ground, his beautiful black eyes focused on the system’s warnings.
