Chapter 67: Refining the Black Pearl (Part 2)

  The astonishing medicinal effect of Qingling Dan made Jiang Huan extremely delighted. He only felt that the meridians in his body were like encountering a glimpse of clear spring in the desert, and the feeling of meeting a sweet dew after a long drought quickly cooled down his heart, while the scorching sensation brought by the black smoke was almost completely isolated.

  But this wonderful moment obviously won't last long, just as Jiang Huan was about to indulge in that coolness, the black spot suspended in his Dantian finally burst.

  Hehe!

  In the midst of the dan Tian, a patch of green mang appeared, and that black dot was like a blemish on a green robe, so deep it pierced the eyes. Finally, the black dot slowly cracked open some fissures around it, and waves of hissing sounds came through.

  Such a situation, naturally, could not escape Jiang Hao's perception. The space in his dantian suddenly shattered like glass, all due to that tiny black dot that was almost negligible.

  Boom!

  A circle of invisible ripples suddenly spread out, fiercely rushing towards Jiang Hao's dantian. That was war energy that had been purified to the extreme. If it were an ordinary warrior, they would probably explode and die from this one blow.

  Hmph!

  Jiang Hao's blood sprayed wildly, the green light in his dantian flashed frantically. The pale red energy transformed from the Qingling Dan had completely turned into a cyan-colored energy that firmly blocked the wave of battle qi, preventing it from breaking through this time. However, the recoil force still injured Jiang Hao's internal organs.

  He spat out another mouthful of blood, and Jiang Hao's face couldn't help but reveal a wry smile. He hadn't expected to be made such a mess by a small black bead.

  "Concentrate your energy in the dantian and fully mobilize the power of the Half-Dragon Body!" The voice of Yi Tian came at just the right time.

  Roar!

  Jiang Hao let out a loud roar, and a faint golden dragon aura continuously surged out from under his skin. The dragon scales on his arms were completely exposed, and his eyes condensed slightly as his soul power burst out, all of it pouring into the dantian, where he laid down several defensive layers in succession.

  After doing all this, Jiang Huan finally let out a sigh of relief.

  Boom!

  That black dot did not stop there, the battle energy continued to erupt and gush out, while the green light also grew stronger and stronger, constantly impacting and entwining the battle energy, then completely assimilating and compressing it. The massive battle energy once touched the green light became exceptionally gentle, quietly sinking into the dantian, just these two impacts, the battle energy released by the black dot had already condensed into a large crystal bead.

  Everything in Dantian was under Jiang Hao's gaze, and the condensed large crystal bead made Jiang Hao's heart skip a beat again. His previous nearly one-month cultivation had failed to condense a single large crystal bead, but now it took only two breaths to condense one.

  Wow!

  Slowly calming down his excited emotions, a hint of determination flashed in Jiang Hao's eyes.

  The black dots did not stop for a moment, one after another releasing the ripples of war energy. Although there was a cyan light guarding him, Jiang Huan's body was still shaken and disordered, while the pale golden dragon energy continued to wander in his body, slowly repairing the wounds.

  Everything was like a cycle, and at this moment, there was not a single clean spot on Jiang Hao's body. Even his skin was constantly oozing out large beads of blood, and his mouth would occasionally spit out blood. His face had turned pale to the extreme, but those eyes were still bright and clear, as if all the injuries had nothing to do with him.

  One grain, two grains, three grains...... eight grains, nine grains......

  Time passed neither quickly nor slowly, and in the blink of an eye, another ten days had passed. Tian Yi's face was solemn as he gazed at the young man on the stone pedestal!

  The young man's entire body was covered in a layer of dust, and under that dust was a dark red scab. Jiang Huan's sturdy physique had shrunk by a large circle, but the faint golden dragon energy that occasionally surged on his body told us that he was cultivating.

  Hmph!

  In the quiet stone room, a faint sound came in, and the murderous gaze stared at that figure.

  Hah! Hah!

  A faint, dark red blood stain had unknowingly cracked open on the frail figure's body, the crack growing larger and larger. The next moment, Jiang Heng's figure reappeared on top of the stone pedestal.

  The long gown on his body had disappeared, and the dragon-like muscles that were originally there had also vanished, as if he had returned to his pre-cultivation appearance. His originally pale skin had become tender and delicate, but a faint golden dragon aura continued to wrap around his palms, while on Jiang Huan's chest was a black flame pattern.

  Those tightly closed eyes finally slowly opened, and a pair of bright pupils appeared in front of the tyrant again. However, except for their brightness, there was also a hint of depth in those eyes, just like that original black dot, captivating the soul.

  "Thank you, teacher."

  When he saw Jiang Hao open his mouth, Yi Tian also finally let out a breath of relief. If it weren't for Jiang Hao's half-dragon body plus the mysterious Qingling Dan, Jiang Hao would probably be a cold corpse by now.

  He floated in front of Jiang Hao, patted his head, and couldn't help but reveal a satisfied expression in his eyes.

  "Heh heh, silly kid, what are you thanking me for? This is all your own doing. You've been promoted three ranks in one go, tsk tsk, not bad."

  Not bad, after these ten days of cultivation, that black spot finally completely dissipated into war energy. In the meantime, Jiang Huan had several close calls where he almost collapsed, but each time was saved by the dragon energy. As a half-dragon body, even if Jiang Huan didn't eat or drink for months, it wouldn't matter, the healing ability of the dragon tribe's bloodline far exceeded his understanding.

  In the lower abdomen, at this time, 110 large crystal beads are densely packed. As they flow and turn, a shocking war energy rushes out in waves, and it's only been a few breaths since completing a major cycle of circulation.

  One hundred and ten large crystal beads, such a terrifying number, even some nine-star warriors are just that, but Jiang Huan is now already a four-star warrior, advancing three levels in just over a month, and still possessing such a large number of crystal beads. If this gets out, those so-called cultivation geniuses will probably have to go kill themselves.

  "Hei Yan absorbed it?" Shi Tian asked.

  Jiang Hao nodded slightly, his right hand extended forward, and a black flame the size of a human head suddenly appeared in his hand. The flame seemed to have no temperature, but the constantly collapsing space at its edges reminded us that it was not just an ordinary flame.

  "Teacher, I've done as you said and have already taken in the Black Flame as my innate flame."

  "Well, now you can practice the fire manipulation technique, heh, perhaps only someone with a half-dragon body like yours can control this strange flame." Zi Tian stroked his beard and said calmly.

  "Teacher, can my dark flames compare with your seven-colored fire?" Jiang Hao asked.

  "Heh, if it's just a matter of a single flame, perhaps any one of my seven colors wouldn't be able to surpass your dark flames. However, these seven-colored flames aren't something that can be compared to your single flame."

  "However," seeing Jiang Hao's face reveal a hint of disappointment, Yi Tian hastily said, "This Black Flame is something that even in my time, no human could control. After all, this Black Flame is known as the exclusive flame of the Dragon Clan."

  "Well, I suppose it's okay." Jiang Hao scratched his head and said with a smile.

  ······

  Outside the stone chamber, two people are standing at this moment, one wearing white clothes and the other wearing red clothes.

  "Big brother, as Father said, Third Brother has been cultivating here for a month and a half, but until now he still hasn't come out," the red-clothed man said, his face full of worry, precisely Jiang Lie.

  "Ah, although this place can greatly accelerate the cultivation speed, the violent energy within makes even me somewhat apprehensive. And it seems that Third Brother is here for the first time to cultivate, hopefully nothing goes wrong." The white-clothed man spoke slowly and softly, but his tone indeed conveyed intense concern, who else could it be if not Jiang Tian?

  "Tomorrow we will return to the barracks, otherwise let's go find Old Dad, with our current strength it is still not enough to break through the stone room door."

  The two remained silent for a moment, and then Jiang Tian saw that the stone gate with a red glow still showed no signs of opening. He nodded, "Let's go find Father!"

  "Big brother, second brother, how did you come?" Just as Jiang Tian turned around and lifted his foot, the stone gate behind him had already been opened, and a thin figure slowly emerged!
