Chapter 1063: True Dragon Seed Pill

"Ancestor, what is this?"

Li Luo suppressed the raging dragon resonance in his body, his gaze transfixed on the mysterious, dark-green pill.

“A True Dragon Seed Pill," replied Li Jun nonchalantly.

"True Dragon Seed Pill?"

Li Luo's eyes glimmered with a thought as he said, "Could it be that this is a Sacred Seed?"

Lu Qing'er had shown him the Holy Permafrost Seed at the Spiritual Resonance Cave, so he knew that a Sacred Seed was an extremely powerful treasure. Even among Heavenly Emperor forces, the Sacred Seed was a symbol of underlying strength.

Unfortunately, Sacred Seeds were too mysterious and too valuable for juniors like himself to know much about.

"Sacred Seed? That's wishful thinking on your part. You couldn't handle something like that right now." Li Jun couldn't help but laugh out loud at his words.

Li Luo gave a sheepish grin. Considering how important Sacred Seeds were, there was no chance he would receive one in a test while he was still in the Twenty Banners.

"However, this item does have some relation to the Sacred Seed of our lineage. To be precise, this is refined with the power of the Sacred Seed, so it is called the True Dragon Seed Pill," Li Jun explained.

Li Luo jolted up and asked curiously, "What is the unique property of the True Dragon Seed Pill?"

Li Jun smiled and extended two fingers, explaining, "This item has two uses. The first is what is known as Transforming Dragon, and the second is the Ascending Dragon."

"Transforming Dragon? Ascending Dragon?” Li Luo's eyes betrayed his thirst for more information.

"Transforming Dragon is actually a simple effect. When you activate the True Dragon Seed Pill, you can dragonize your physical body to possess the power of the dragon race. This is an all-encompassing dragonification. Be it strength, defense, or even vitality, all your attributes will be like that of a dragon for a short period of time. The Sanctified Dragon's Body that you have already cultivated cannot compare. As for Ascending Dragon..."

Li Jun paused and smiled. "It is for your dragon resonance. Once you activate Ascending Dragon, the grade of your dragon resonance will be directly raised to the ninth-grade. The true ninth-grade to be exact."

Li Luo's eyes were filled with shock and disbelief. "Th-th-the True Dragon Seed Pill can raise my dragon resonance to the ninth-grade?!"

If not for the fact that the person in front of him was a Heavenly Emperor, Li Luo would have laughed in his face!

Li Luo was very well aware of how rare and strong ninth-grade resonances were. Among his peers within the Heavenly Origin Divine Continent, only Qin Yi and Zhao Shenjiang possessed ninth-grade resonances. Even quasi ninth-grade resonances were a rarity. Li Jingtao, who had been cultivating for many years, had only recently upgraded to a quasi ninth-grade with the help of the Limit Breaking Heavenly Dew.

But the True Dragon Seed Pill could directly elevate a dragon resonance to the ninth-grade. Logically speaking, this was impossible.

Seeing Li Luo's incredulous look, Li Jun laughed. "I'm not fooling you. The True Dragon Seed Pill is indeed able to raise your dragon resonance to the ninth-grade, but... only for a short period of time and not permanently. A temporary ninth-grade dragon resonance."

Li Luo was convinced now. The pill had an outrageous effect, but with the drawback of it only being temporary, its benefits sounded much more believable.

His blood started pumping as he itched to get his hands on the True Dragon Seed Pill and try it out for himself. After all, he had never experienced what it was like to have a ninth-grade resonance.

Although his triple resonances were not weaker than a ninth-grade resonance, the idea of having a ninth-grade resonance was too good to pass up.

"One more thing I need to inform you of is that the True Dragon Seed Pill is a consumable item. Its draconic energy will deplete with each successive use, and it will no longer be useful when it is fully depleted," reminded Li Jun. Li Luo paused, though he was not really surprised. It was a pill, so it was unlikely to last forever. In this case, it seemed like Ascending Dragon could not be freely utilized and had to be kept close to his chest for special circumstances.

Even so, Li Luo was bursting with excitement. The reward had far exceeded his imagination.

The most critical thing was that he could use this item to prepare for the Sacred Seed.

While he was far from qualified to handle a real Sacred Seed at the moment, the True Dragon Seed Pill would allow him to experience a little bit of its power in advance, and at the same time make some plans for the future.

Li Jun raised his hand, and the dark-green True Dragon Seed Pill floated towards Li Luo.

Li Luo hurriedly reached out to receive it. But when the True Dragon Seed Pill landed in his palm, he suddenly felt a stabbing pain. The pill had pierced through his skin and buried itself straight into his flesh.

He could faintly sense the True Dragon Seed Pill moving within his bloodstream.

"Thank you so much for the treasure, Ancestor!" Li Luo gushed excitedly.

Li Jun waved his hand and said, "This is something you won with your own skills... Keep at it, kid. I hope you become a Duke before we meet again."

As these words rang out, the young Ancestor Li Jun gradually faded and then turned into a puff of green smoke that quickly dissipated.

"Farewell, Ancestor!"

The banner members below kneeled respectfully.

In the next instant, the space between heaven and earth began to twist and distort. Li Luo understood that this signaled the end of the challenge in the Fiendish Devil Cave.

Li Luo put the Dragon Elephant Blade away and exhaled heavily. It was finally over.

After being in the Dragon's Fang Lineage for about a year, Li Luo's time in the Twenty Banners had come to a fruitful conclusion. He had also improved by leaps and bounds here.

When he first arrived, he was only at the start of the Earth Fiend General Stage.

Now he was at the five-pearl tier!

If he were still in the Astral Sage College, he would be qualified to challenge the Seven Astral Pillars. In terms of academic level, he would be in the Three Star Hall.

If he entered the Three Star Hall as a five-pearl, he would definitely be feared as a demon in the Astral Sage College.

It was now obvious that cultivating in the resource-rich Dragon's Fang Lineage was far better than doing so in the outer divine continent. As Li Luo's mind raced, the space changed. When his vision cleared, he was already outside the Fiendish Devil Cave.

Li Luo could feel countless respectful gazes staring straight at him from all sides.

They belonged to the other three banners of the Dragon's Fang Lineage.

After personally witnessing the encounter between Li Luo and Ancestor Li Jun, all of the banner members were won over. At this moment, no one remained unconvinced about Li Luo.

They were deeply proud of Li Luo despite not belonging to the Green Nether Banner, because they were all part of the Dragon's Fang Lineage!

Henceforth, who would be able to say that this batch of the Dragon's Fang Lineage was inferior to the Dragon's Blood Lineage?

The three banners all beamed at the regal figure leading the Green Nether Banner with utmost respect in their eyes.

"Hail the Dragon's Head!

"Hail the Green Nether Banner!"

A single voice cried out before being joined by many others, eventually merging together into a raucous cacophony that echoed from the entrance of the Fiendish Devil Cave all throughout the Dragon's Fang Mountain Range.

......

Atop Dragon's Fang Mountain, the various Hall Masters also heard resounding the cheers from afar.

Li Qingpeng, Li Jinpan, and the rest all broke into smiles and congratulated Li Jingzhe.

"Congratulations, Father. The Dragon's Fang Lineage has produced another peerless hidden dragon."

The other Hall Masters also offered their congratulations. Li Luo's performance today had indeed proved that he was worth of being called a "peerless hidden dragon."

A smile blossomed on Li Jingzhe's cold and solemn old visage. He stood up, affixing his gaze onto the Fiendish Devil Peak from afar. "This time... I will not let any harm befall the hidden dragon of the Dragon's Fang Lineage."
