After half an hour of effort, Wang Xiaoyi finally collapsed on the ground from exhaustion!

"What's wrong with this thing? I can't move it at all! Is this some kind of joke?!"

Wang Xiaoyi was panting heavily, and his speech was somewhat slurred.

After resting for about an hour, Wang Xiaoyi finally got up from the ground.

"Then what should I do with this Nine Heavens Elixir?" Wang Xiaoyi's clever little brain started working quickly again.

"Oh right, I can extract dragon blood essence!"

Wang Xiaoyi: (o゜▽゜)o☆[BINGO!]

Wang Xiaoyi still remembered what the spirit of the palace had said: although he was at the Golden Immortal realm, if he refined the essence of the dragon race, he wouldn't be bedridden for three months, but his realm would still drop.

As for the exact number of floors he would fall, Wang Xiaoyi couldn't say for sure.

"Anyway, there's still so much Nine Heavens Spirit Liquid. Even if my cultivation level drops, I can still raise it again!" Wang Xiaoyi thought for a few more minutes and felt that his plan was feasible.

Let's do it! Let's give it a try!

After Wang Xiaoyi completed the Ancestral Dragon Inheritance, he automatically learned the method of refining dragon blood essence, which is also an exclusive talent of the dragon race.

Following his innate talent, Wang Xiaoyi began to use the method of refining dragon blood essence!

Wang Xiaoyi: (;′??Д??`)

Wang Xiaoyi really did try and die; this one attempt was all it took, and Wang Xiaoyi almost left this beautiful world.

Wang Xiaoyi felt the excruciating pain of having his bones and marrow extracted; otherwise, with the perseverance he had shown from continuously taking the Nine Heavens Elixir these past few days, he probably would have already fainted.

The process of refining dragon blood essence cannot be interrupted. Once interrupted, the entire process is wasted, and the lost cultivation level will not be recovered.

After an hour of effort, Wang Xiaoyi finally extracted his first drop of dragon blood essence.

Wang Xiaoyi's face was extremely pale. So pale that even if the author had been dead for three days, he wouldn't have been as pale as Wang Xiaoyi was now.

"F-Finally, we succeeded! It's like I have another life!" Wang Xiaoyi said weakly, lying on the ground.
