Chapter 27: Borrowing a Tiger's Might

  The earth is cracking, and the world seems to be destroyed in an instant.

  Lu Fan could no longer see what was happening outside, his vision was filled with darkness.

  A loud rumbling sound kept echoing in his ears, and although he was constantly urging himself to be more vigorous, Lu Fan still felt like a small boat in the midst of a stormy sea, liable to capsize at any moment.

  After a long time, the rumbling sound finally disappeared, and there was light in front of me.

  When he saw everything in front of him again, Lu Fan was dumbfounded once more.

  Not far away, the powerful six-winged dragon lies on the ground, like a mountain range.

  The old man held a yin-yang sword and split open the head of the six-winged crack-heaven dragon. From it, he took out a crystal nucleus the size of a fist, ice-blue in color, shining with radiance.

  Although they were far apart, Lu Fan could already see the blue energy of the crystal core flowing.

  "Master, what is that......"

  Wu Chen smiled and said: "That's right, it's the crystal nucleus condensed after eating away the Ice Heart meteorite. It seems we've found the right person."

  The old man in front dug out the crystal core and immediately wrapped it with a white cloth. Beside him, the girl quickly flew up to the front.

  "Look at the old man and say: 'Stupid master, what a big crystal core! This time it's a great harvest.'"

  The old man smiled and said: "Indeed, it's a great harvest. A crystal core of a six-winged crack sky dragon, when you go back, can find your Dragon Uncle to make a protective crystal for you."

  The girl laughed happily and pointed at the corpse of the Six-Winged Sky Dragon, saying: "Then what about its corpse? Are we taking it back?"

  The old man shook his head and said, "No need to, after the Sky Splitting Dragon's death, its body will soon turn into rocks. Taking it back would only be a pile of stones. Let's go, since there is a Six-Winged Sky Splitting Dragon guarding this place, it means that there must be treasure nearby. We should search carefully."

  The girl felt a little regretful and looked at the corpse of the Six-winged Sky Dragon for a few more moments before slowly walking away.

  This conversation between master and apprentice had already been completely overheard by Wu Chen through his power of nature.

  Turning to look at Lu Fan, Wu Chen smiled and said: "Lu Fan, we have a good thing to pick up. Warriors are just warriors, they don't know the value of a precious wild beast at all. Come on, follow me."

  Wu Chen walked quickly as if flying, with wind under his feet. Lu Fan hurriedly followed up.

  Wu Chen circled around and arrived at the back of the Six-Winged Sky-Splitting Dragon, a position where even if the old man and the girl turned their heads back, they wouldn't be able to see him for a while.

  Lu Fan watched as Wu Chen's palm turned into a knife, carefully and cautiously cutting open the scales on the back of the Six-Winged Sky Dragon with a gentle breeze.

  Fresh blood spurted out, Wu Chen said to Lu Fan: "Quickly, take out the tripod."

  Lu Fan immediately took out the Wen Huo Ding, Wu Chen said: "Use the ding to receive the dragon blood, remember to heat it with flames on one side while receiving it on the other, to prevent it from turning into a stone."

  Lu Fan immediately did as he was told, and indeed, as soon as the blood fell into the cauldron, it showed a tendency to coagulate quickly.

  The entire body of the Six-Winged Sky Dragon was also rapidly petrifying, after Lu Fan had scooped up a full ladle of dragon blood.

  The six-winged dragon has completely turned into stone blocks. The faintly ice-blue blood in the cauldron, under Lu Fan's desperate flame stimulation, is still flowing.

  "Master, what's next?"

  Lu Fan spoke up and asked.

  Wu Chen said: "Take out all the medicinal materials you have. I'm telling you, put them in order, absolutely no mistakes."

  Lu Fan immediately took out all the medicinal materials from the ring and spread them on the ground, including the ones he had collected over the past few days and those that were left unused for some time.

  "Wu Chen quickly said: 'Release the Green Fire Vine, release the Iron Tree Fruit, release the Fierce Flame Grass. Don't stop the flames on your hands, respond with the Resonant Tail Grass, release...'"

  He had added more than a dozen kinds of medicinal herbs, and the dragon's blood in the cauldron had turned into a deep crimson.

  Wu Chen reached forward and picked up the last two medicinal herbs, merging them into a colorful powder that he poured into the dragon's blood. The next moment, the dragon's blood seemed to be boiling, and it actually started bubbling.

  "Lu Fan, come on, drink it up, as much as you can."

  Wu Chen laughed and spoke up. Lu Fan was stunned for a moment, but still directly picked up the larger Wen Huo Ding and started drinking wildly.

  The dragon's blood not only entered his throat but also splashed all over Lu Fan's body.

  The dragon's blood no longer had a fishy smell at this time, but instead had a refreshing fragrance when entering the mouth.

  Soon, Lu Fan felt his body changing rapidly. His meridians were expanding, his muscles and bones were transforming, and his skin began to show red stripes.

  Lu Fan finally couldn't drink anymore after drinking more than half of the pot.

  Wu Chen packed up the remaining dragon blood, without wasting a single drop.

  Lu Fan stood still, panting, and felt that the dragon blood was about to gush out of his throat.

  Wu Chen spoke up and asked: "Lu Fan, how are you feeling at this moment?"

  Lu Fan smiled and said: "Master, I feel like I need to go to the bathroom, I can barely hold it in."

  "Wu Chen said calmly: 'Endure it. Let's talk after you've fully digested the dragon blood.'"

  Lu Fan could only continue standing in place, the crimson patterns on his body slowly outlining the shape of a dragon.

  When the dragon shape was fully completed, Lu Fan saw that his skin had undergone some subtle changes. Reaching out to touch it, he felt that what he touched was not skin, but a piece of rock.

  "Feel it? This is the Dragon Clan's Blood Skin, truly impenetrable to blades and guns, impervious to water and fire. With this layer of blood skin, your body's defensive power will be greatly enhanced, whether you're a martial artist or a Qi cultivator, unless someone's strength far surpasses yours, it'll be very hard for them to hurt you. By the way, your recovery ability has also been greatly boosted."

  Wu Chen explained loudly.

  Lu Fan smiled and said: "So dragon blood has this effect, I've never heard of it before."

  Wu Chen said: "How could your shallow knowledge possibly have seen the refining method of dragon blood? In the realm of Qi refinement, this is not a pill-refining technique that ordinary people can master."

  After a pause, Wu Chen said: "Alright, hurry up and put away the tripod, we still have important things to attend to."

  Lu Fan nodded in understanding, and at this moment, the dragon tattoo on his body also quickly disappeared, until it was gone.

  Wu Chen thought for a moment, then said: "Lu Fan, you also saw the crystal core they just dug up. The Ice Heart Meteorite should be nearby, no, it's very likely to be inside the Dragon's Lair."

  Lu Fangdao said: "Dragons all like collecting shiny things, Master's guess should be correct. But where is the dragon's nest?"

  Wu Chen suddenly smiled and said, "At this time, the difference between a Qi Refiner and a Martial Artist can be seen. Lu Fan, take a good look, this is how Qi Refiners search for things."

  As he spoke, a five-colored light flashed across Wu Chen's body, spreading out from his soles.

  All the plants that were swept by the light swayed. The wind also changed direction in an instant, and Wu Chen's hand was placed on Lu Fan's shoulder.

  The next moment, Lu Fan "saw" everything within dozens of miles around him.

  Innumerable scenes flashed through his mind, and in this instant, he seemed to have transformed into the wind, into water, into trees, into dust.

  Suddenly, a cave hidden between the rocks was seen by Lu Fan. Inside, a sparkling piece made Lu Fan's whole body shake.

  Wu Chen withdrew his hand and smiled: "Did you see clearly?"

  Lu Fan opened his eyes.

  "Master, what's this move called? It's too powerful."

  "Wu Chen said: 'This is called Tianyan Tong, when you have practiced the fusion of body and nature to a certain extent, you can learn this move. Let's go quickly, if we're late it will be troublesome.'"

  Having said that, Wu Chen and Lu Fan rushed forward together.

  Soon, a steep cliff appeared in front of Lu Fan's eyes.

  Sheer cliffs rising straight up to the clouds, neat as if cut by a knife.

  In the middle of the rock wall there is a cave that goes inwards, which is exactly the nest of the Six-winged Sky Splitting Dragon.

  Lu Fan and Wu Chen exchanged a smile, they had found the right place.

  Just then, a streak of light emerged from the forest and came directly to the entrance of the cave.

  It was just an old man and woman, two masters and disciples.

  "Haha, stupid master, my eyesight is still better than yours. We've been searching in the forest all day and couldn't find it. This is indeed the Dragon's Nest, but it doesn't seem to be anything special."

  The old man smiled and said: "Of course, there's nothing special outside. There must be a lot of good things inside. Let's go in and see what we can gain."

  Below, Wu Chen's face changed instantly, and he was actually preempted by someone again.

  Turning his head to look at Lu Fan, Wu Chen said: "Lu Fan, I'll help you distract them. Move quickly and get the Ice Heart Meteorite out first, don't let them take it away."

  After finishing speaking, Wu Chen suddenly disappeared on the spot.

  The next moment, the wind and clouds changed suddenly, a loud thunderclap came from nowhere, and immediately a huge sound came from the sky.

  " Ignorant whippersnapper, leave quickly, this is the territory of the supreme being Wujizun."

  Dark clouds gathered and suddenly transformed into a gigantic human face.

  The old man who was about to enter the cave immediately turned his head, looking at the gigantic human face, and first protected his female apprentice behind him. Then he said loudly: "This is a mountainous area, the entrance of the Dragon Cave, how can it be your territory? If you want to seize the treasure, speak directly, I Lin Feng have never feared anyone."

  As he spoke, the old man's hand produced another yin-yang sword, which slowly floated up.

  The girl behind him turned his eyes and rushed directly into the hole. Lu Fan looked anxious, and the face in the sky spoke again.

  "How ridiculous, how ridiculous. Very well, dare you engage in a battle of 300 rounds with me?"

  Another thunderbolt, with a five-colored halo.

  Upon seeing the Five-Colored Thunderbolt, the old man's eyes lit up instantly and he burst into loud laughter, saying: "What is there to fear?"

  As soon as he finished speaking, the old man transformed into a flowing light and rose straight up to the sky.

  Lu Fan's eyes lit up as he saw this as an opportunity and directly climbed up the cliff wall.

  At this moment, the speed trained by Rockfall Waterfall was fully utilized. After a few dodges, Lu Fan also rushed into the cave.

  A deep and cavernous space, vast and dark.

  But this darkness couldn't block Lu Fan's line of sight. After drinking the dragon blood, Lu Fan felt that his eyesight had also been greatly enhanced.

  Suddenly, Lu Fan saw that on both sides of the cave were patches of dragon's saliva flowers. But he couldn't help picking them, and continued forward, finally seeing a glimmer of light in front of him.

  Accelerating forward rush, suddenly open and bright. Lu Fan saw the depths of the cave, a mountain of glittering objects piled up.

  Just then, a short blade with a heat wave also came from the side.

  "You little thief, you're going to die!"

  Lu Fan barely had time to raise his hand to block, and the short blade struck his arm, producing a sound like metal hitting stone.

  Lu Fan was struck by a powerful force and flew directly into the treasure pile.

  She raised her eyes and saw that the girl was holding a short blade and rushing towards her again.
