Looking at the dragon pearl in his arms, Gu Yifeng pondered for a moment, then a surge of spiritual power flowed from his hand, instantly enveloping the dragon pearl and shrinking it to the size of a thumb before swallowing it in one gulp.
Following the esophagus downwards, in about a breath, the bead entered the dantian. Before it could be refined, a green light emanated from the dragon bead, transforming into a dragon shape that rampaged wildly within the dantian.
"Give me the town!"
Gu Yifeng let out a soft shout, and two streams of pure energy in his dantian transformed into tiny human figures. At the same time, he struck out with a palm, and purple spiritual power erupted, carrying an astonishing chill as it suppressed the Azure Dragon.
Soon the blue dragon formed from the Dragon Ball was frozen, but cracks kept spreading on the surface of the thin ice, which obviously couldn't hold for long.
Left with no other choice, Gu Yifeng had a sudden thought, and his two avatars in his dantian simultaneously unleashed the Myriad Sects Talisman. This time, it was a fifth-grade talisman named the Spirit Sealing Lock.
A huge chain phantom appeared around the Azure Dragon. With a crisp sound, the chain tightly bound it. Then, a bronze lock phantom closed, completely restricting the power of the Dragon Pearl.
This suppression took a full incense stick's time and consumed more than 30% of its spiritual power.
To ensure that no accidents occurred during the refining of the dragon pearl, Gu Yifeng cultivated for another half an hour, restoring his energy to its optimal state before refocusing his inner energy on his dantian.
After pondering for a while, he had a sudden thought, and the purple spiritual power in his dantian erupted, transforming into a phoenix. It was the strange flame that he had already mastered. The phoenix opened its mouth and spat out streams of purple flames that enveloped the dragon pearl.
The power of the sealing talisman, along with the power of the phoenix, was ignited.
At this moment, Gu Yifeng's dantian was a furnace, and spiritual power was the fuel. He used all his strength to transform into a purple raging fire, which continuously burned the dragon ball. A green light could be faintly seen moving and turning inside the dragon ball.
About three incense sticks later, a unique fragrance emanated from the dragon pearl. A pleasant sandalwood scent spread, intoxicating people and invigorating not only their spirits but also their bodies, making them feel as if they had undergone a cleansing process.
This is the original power of the Wooden Dragon Pearl. Now that the wood fragrance is spreading, it means that more than 70% of it has been refined.
No more than ten breaths after the appearance of the wood fragrance, a drop of incomparably green, vibrant water floated out from the Dragon Pearl and dripped into the dantian. The next moment, it merged into the dantian and, starting from there, began to spread to the limbs and bones.
Without needing any explanation, a piece of information appeared in Gu Yifeng's mind: these emerald green water droplets were the incomparably precious dragon marrow in the wooden dragon pearl. A single drop could bring the dead back to life, change their aptitude, and even endow them with the bloodline of the dragon race.
He is currently uninjured, and his talent goes without saying. With his Ice Spirit Body, Sword Immortal Body, and the talent of fusing ice and fire, his cultivation aptitude is already one in a million.
This drop of dragon marrow can only be bestowed upon the bloodline of the Gu Yifeng dragon clan.
As the emerald light spread throughout his body, he soon felt an unbearable itching sensation. He was completely unaware that his pupils had changed from round to vertical.
His body was covered with layers of fine scales, and the spiritual energy in his dantian surged out on its own, turning into raging fire to temper his body. The uncomfortable feeling lasted for a full hour before it dissipated.
When Gu Yifeng opened his eyes again, his clothes were completely torn apart, and a layer of dark grime had dried, turning into a thin, brittle black shell that looked somewhat nauseating.
These were the remaining impurities in his body, which were completely swept away this time. Originally, only those in the Taixu Realm could achieve abstaining from grains, but now, because he had obtained the bloodline of the Dragon Clan, he could also begin abstaining from grains, only needing to absorb the spiritual energy of heaven and earth.
"Fortunately, it's a wooden dragon ball. If it were a fire dragon ball or a dragon ball of another attribute, it probably wouldn't be so easy."
Gu Yifeng muttered to himself with lingering fear. The process of tempering his entire body with dragon marrow and imbuing his bloodline was not pleasant. The pain was bearable, but the itching that emanated from the crevices of his bones was enough to drive a person crazy.
The Wood Dragon Balls are already the mildest of the Dragon Balls. The process of modifying the Wood Dragon Marrow is already difficult to endure. If it were another type of Dragon Ball, the pain and itching emanating from the bone marrow would be even more unbearable.
"So this is the bloodline of the dragon race... The strength of the meridians in my body has increased by three-tenths, and they have widened by ten-tenths. There is also an affinity for the surrounding wood-attribute spiritual energy..."
Gu Yifeng felt the changes brought about by the wooden dragon pearl. With a slight movement of his right hand, the vines in the cave seemed to come alive and extend towards him, trembling slowly as if they were being coquettish.
Aside from that, he slightly opened his mouth, compressed his spiritual energy slightly, and exhaled it from his throat, instantly transforming it into a green breath that melted the stone wall in front of him. Thick branches then grew and spread out from it.
This is the dragon's breath of the wooden dragon. In addition to the high-temperature corrosive power of the dragon's breath itself, it can also be attached to the growth power of tree branches and vines.
Just as Gu Yifeng was feeling the power within his body, a terrifying aura quietly arrived outside the cave, destroying all the cave's restrictive formations with a single claw.
He unleashed his power almost simultaneously, unleashing the "One Qi Transforms into Three Pure Ones" technique. The pupils of the three figures shrank, transforming into vertical pupils.
"Ahem, so it's just a young fellow who came to the island for training. I apologize for my rudeness. I sensed a brand new wooden dragon aura and thought a junior had been born."
Upon seeing Gu Yifeng's figure, the old man who had broken through the cave's restrictions spoke up somewhat awkwardly. This man was dressed in rags, his entire body covered by leaves, his hair and beard were all white, and he looked quite kind.
However, this person's aura was terrifying; just looking at him was like facing a ferocious beast, probably far beyond the Taixu Realm.
"It's alright... It was by chance that I obtained a Dragon Ball. After absorbing it, my aura leaked out, which is why I disturbed you, senior."
Gu Yifeng didn't dare to be presumptuous and immediately clasped his hands in greeting.
"No problem, no problem. You're quite clever, lad. Now that you have dragon blood, you're considered one of my dragons. Would you like to come with me somewhere?"
Upon hearing this, the old man waved his hand, chuckled, then pointed east and asked Gu Yifeng.
"Of course I'm willing."
Upon hearing this, Gu Yifeng had no chance to act before his figure was enveloped by the old man's spiritual power and disappeared from the spot. When he reappeared, he had arrived at the center of Qinglong Island, where a huge altar appeared before him.
On this altar, besides the old man, there were eight other people, all dressed in green leaf attire, with white hair and beards, and each of them exuded an aura no less powerful than the old man.
"Gentlemen, I have brought a special little fellow with good potential. He might be able to summon the Azure Dragon at this year's festival."
The old man who brought Gu Yifeng spoke slowly, ignoring Gu Yifeng's expression, and said with a smile.
"Impossible. Even the most outstanding genius of my Wood Dragon lineage couldn't do it."
