Chapter 0894: Essence Obtained

As soon as Li Luo returned from the space of the fire veil, he heard Li Jingzhe's voice coming from in front of him. "You brat. You actually noticed that Dragon Fire Sword Energy can be used to attract Cosmic Sword Intent."

He raised his head and saw his grandfather looking at him with interest as he fished by the stone pavilion. Li Luo's face was full of delight when he heard his words. The appearance of the Cosmic Sword Intent was a pleasant surprise. In the short span of two hours, he had collected what would take him days to get under normal circumstances.

Previously, he had gathered a total of five strands of Cosmic Sword Intent. However, that had taken him a whole month of hard work. Now, he had managed to gather two strands in just two hours. This was truly a delightful surprise.

He would soon have enough Cosmic Sword Intent at this rate. By then, he would just need to obtain a Dragon Fang Essence. At that point, he could start cultivating the Myriad Resonances Dragon Fang Sword Formation.

When he thought about using this Transcendent Duke Art, he could barely contain his excitement.

It would become his greatest killer move if he could master it.

At this point, someone else suddenly appeared beside him. It seemed like Li Lingjing had been kicked out of the fire veil as well.

Her skin was full of burn marks and she looked kind of pathetic. Her body was still surrounded by an aura of heat, just like a deep-fried prawn that was just fished out of a vat of boiling oil.

"Are you okay?" Li Luo asked out of concern.

She looked much worse off compared to him. This was probably because the Dragon Fire Sword Energy over at her end was fiercer.

Standing there shivering, her tiny body still had traces of the fire sword energy left. Excruciating pain lanced throughout her body as she resisted the pain with all her might. Although her face was pale, she looked at Li Luo and forced out a smile.

"I... I'm fine," she said.

Li Jingzhe took a look at her and commented, "The Other in your body has weakened a little. It seems like the Dragon Fire Sword Energy is effective after all. However, we will have to do this a few more times as the Soul Eater True Devil has been entangled with your spirit for far too long.

"We'll have to bathe you in Dragon Fire Sword Energy daily for the next month. Perhaps we can get rid of the Soul Eater True Devil completely after all.".

Li Lingjing bit her teeth tightly and then replied, "Thank you, Lineage Chief. I will definitely endure this!"

Li Jingzhe nodded a little. He had seen her performance in the fire veil very clearly. Her determination and resilience had far exceeded that of any other talent in the Five Guardian Armies of the Heavenly Dragon's Five Lineages.

In the next moment, he turned to Li Luo and said, "There's still a month left before the Dragon's Head competition. During this time, you can take out two hours daily to come here for cultivation. You have reached the peak of the Fiend Body Tier and your foundation is solid, so you can consider cultivating Fiend Dipper Energy now."

This time around, Li Luo agreed to it without any more hesitation. After all, cultivating with this method was far more beneficial than he had imagined. Not only could he refine Fiend Dipper Energy, he could gather Cosmic Sword Intent at a much faster rate here. This was undoubtedly the most efficient use of his time.

It did not matter how much pain his body would have to go through—the gains would make it all worth it.

Nonetheless, he understood just how rare and precious this opportunity was. One would not be able to seek help from a King for his own cultivation so easily.

As he watched the two of them in their current state, Li Jingzhe flicked his finger, and two balls of light flew towards Li Luo and Li Lingjing. Within each light was a jade bottle exuding an extremely cold air. In fact, the air around them seemed to freeze for a moment.

"My Dragon Fire Sword Energy is extremely domineering. After bathing in it, there will be sword energy leftover in your body. This will slowly become a form of fire poison. If this is allowed to accumulate over time, it will eventually go out of control during your cultivation in the future and instantly cause you to combust. These jade bottles contain Freezing Essence Liquid. When you return, cultivate and apply it to your skin. It can help to dissolve the remnant Dragon Fire Sword Energy in your bodies."

When Li Luo and Li Lingjing heard about the frightening aftereffects of the Dragon Fire Sword Energy, they felt chills go up their spines and they hurriedly accepted the jade bottles.

"Thank you, Lineage Chief! I will forever remember your great kindness in my heart," Li Lingjing stated politely.

Not only was he personally helping her get rid of the Soul Eater True Devil, he had even prepared the medicine for the treatment of the aftereffects. This was a treatment that not even a Duke could have received.

Li Jingzhe took another glance at her and replied, "Since my grandson says he will protect you, I'll definitely give him face."

With that, he had directed her gratitude towards Li Luo.

Li Lingjing understood this well, so she turned towards Li Luo and bowed down politely. "I don't know how to repay your great kindness, Cousin Li Luo. If there is anything you need in the future, I will definitely help you with it."

Li Luo smiled helplessly as he responded, "I'm just keeping to our promises. Besides, I can't wait to see another top talent emerge in the Dragon's Fang Lineage."

Hearing this, Li Lingjing's eyebrows relaxed a little and she revealed a bright, charming smile.

"Thanks for thinking so highly of me, Cousin Li Luo. I will work hard to meet your expectations."

At this point, Li Jingzhe waved his hands at them as he went back to his fishing.

Li Luo and Li Lingjing did not bother him any further. They bade farewell politely and left.

Li Rouyun and Li Feng had been waiting for them outside the pavilion. The two finally relaxed after seeing no major injuries on Li Lingjing's body. When they heard that Li Jingzhe had instructed Li Lingjing to return for the Dragon Fire Sword Energy smelting daily, they heaved even bigger sighs of relief.

It seemed like Li Lingjing would be completely cured soon with the personal help of the Lineage Chief.

At the same time, Li Rouyun expressed her gratitude to Li Luo once again. If not for him, it was unlikely that the Lineage Chief would have helped out with this matter personally. Most likely, the matter would just have been shelved quietly. However, if it attracted the attention of the enforcement department of the Dragon's Fang Lineage in the future, it would undoubtedly attract trouble.

Li Luo responded to it courteously and decided on the time they would meet up again tomorrow. After which, he left the place with his exhausted body.

For the following days, Li Luo would head over to the pavilion by the lake and undergo the Dragon Fire Sword Energy Veil smelting with Li Lingjing once he had completed his own cultivation and the Fiendish Cave expedition with the Green Nether Banner.

Although it was a literal hell and essentially horrible torture, the rewards from it kept Li Luo motivated.

The refining of Fiend Dipper Energy would require more time, but the amount of Cosmic Sword Intent he collected was growing steadily everyday. This was an evident benefit from the excruciating pain he had to endure.

In the short span of ten days, Li Luo had collected a total of fifty strands of Cosmic Sword Intent.

He felt that this would be enough for him to forge his first Dragon Fang Sword. Now, all that was left was for him to acquire a Dragon Fang Essence.

Sure enough, his patience paid off on the next day.

When he arrived at the stone pavilion by the lake, Li Jingzhe threw an item over to him casually. It was a cup that seemed to be made of bones and fangs. There were energy runes circulating its surface, which sealed up the mouth of the cup.

Li Luo had some guesses on what it could be. He looked into the inside of the cup excitedly and saw two drops of mysterious, golden liquid within. They were like two golden koi that were swimming around in a lively manner. Wave after wave of astonishing lifeforce and mysterious energy exuded from the cup, and a draconic roar could vaguely be heard.

As Li Jingzhe looked at the excited Li Luo, he smiled lightly and said, "Your secret art is still quite effective. Out of the five dragon fangs, we extracted two drops of Dragon Fang Essence."

However, he did not mention that he had replaced some of the ingredients in the secret art with even higher grade materials in order to achieve these spectacular results, therefore extracting two drops of Dragon Fang Essence.

At this moment, Li Luo's face was full of excitement and joy. He held the cup tightly and his heartbeat accelerated.

He had finally obtained a Dragon Fang Essence. Now he could finally start cultivating the Myriad Resonances Dragon Fang Sword Formation that he had been dying for.
