Despite having suspected it beforehand, when Shushu saw the golden dragon blood in the blood pool and the small dragon skeleton above it made of dragon tendons and half a dragon skin, it was filled with the flavor of Lingjun.
At that moment, Shushu couldn't help but tear up, and disregarding whether there were still remnant souls spying behind him, he choked out through gritted teeth.
"Senior Brother, I'm going to blow up this ruined mansion."
Lu Li naturally had no objection to this and agreed without hesitation.
"Alright, let's blow this place up together, okay? Calm down first, I'll get Lingjun's things back."
Shushu naturally had great faith in Lu Li's strength. Hearing Lu Li's agreement, he glanced at the layers of restrictions above the blood pool.
To avoid delaying Lu Li's actions, Shushu quickly released Shu Yibao and Tianluo, jumped onto Shu Yibao, and then asked Tianluo to help keep watch.
Her series of movements were so swift and decisive that they stunned Lu Li for a moment before he realized what was happening and smiled.
Lu Li gently patted Shushu to reassure him, and then released Xue Ling to look after Shushu. Only then did he turn his attention to the blood pool.
After looking the blood pool over, Lu Li finally understood the situation.
The person who created the formation probably wanted to use the power of the true dragon's blood to build a blood pool that could cleanse the marrow and transform one's body.
After all, dragons are ancient mythical beasts that have survived to this day, and every part of them is a treasure. Dragon blood can even help cleanse the marrow and improve physical condition.
Soaking in a pool of dragon's blood, if one can persevere, will undoubtedly lead to an immeasurable future, and may even result in the direct forging of a divine body.
Of course, this is on the premise that you can persevere and get the correct dragon blood ratio, and this process requires constant experimentation.
Those mindless spirit beasts and human cultivators outside must be the victims of the Blood Pool's master's constant adjustments to the proportions.
The fact that cultivators on the Rainy Continent have been blood-corrupted in recent years indicates that the person behind all this is still alive and is constantly trying to cleanse their marrow and bones with dragon blood, or even become a god.
As for why Lingjun's dragon tendons and skin were placed on top of the blood pool, the reason was very simple: it was purely to suppress the golden dragon blood below and to expel the souls of the spirit beasts and human cultivators who had been killed and had their blood extracted.
The monsters outside the locust grove must be the result of the wronged souls that were driven out from here.
The nine-headed bird that Lu Li killed earlier was also the work of this person behind the scenes, because the wronged souls here hate him to the bone.
Unable to confront the wronged souls he had harmed, he raised a nine-headed bird, using it to bring living beings to collect blood while also managing the wronged souls outside.
This is probably why the Great Power's mansion only has the Nine-Headed Bird, a high-level spirit beast, to ensure that the entire mansion is under his control.
Of course, there is another crucial reason: both the spiritual energy of the ruined mansion and the mansion's owner have been consumed over the years without any regeneration.
Apart from the owner of the ruined mansion, all the high-level spirit beasts and cultivators he brought in should have perished or been devoured by the owner of the ruined mansion, which is why the owner of the ruined mansion was able to survive.
However, judging from his appearance, his situation is not optimistic, otherwise he would not have let people in so rashly.
He certainly wouldn't think that just because he'd captured some cultivators from the mainland and understood the current situation, he could use Ling Mufeng's plea for help to summon even more cultivators to use as reserves.
The owner of the ruined mansion probably never expected that there would be someone like him on the Rainy Continent. He made a risky move and summoned a formidable enemy who killed his right-hand man as soon as he arrived.
In truth, if Ling Mufeng hadn't been among those trapped, and if Lu Li hadn't been the one to arrive, then the master of the ruined mansion could have remained arrogant for a while longer.
Thinking of this, Lu Li's gaze swept around, and when he saw a passage leading to a deeper part of the blood pool, his eyes darkened, and he directly transmitted his thoughts: "Let the little fire spirit go and guard the cave entrance quietly."
After arranging these matters, Lu Li began to concentrate on breaking the restrictions in front of him.
It can only be said that the owner of this mansion is indeed someone who was able to capture the little golden dragon back then; he must have some skill.
Lu Li also went through a lot of effort and used the power of the phoenix to finally break through the layers of restrictions.
Looking at the dragon tendons and half a piece of dragon skin that hadn't changed at all over the past tens of thousands of years, Lu Li remained silent for a long time before putting them into his spatial storage instead of a storage ring.
This is a sign of respect for Lingjun, and also a sign of pity for him, for the fact that he suffered such a severe injury at such a young age, if only he hadn't stumbled into that secret realm by accident.
It's estimated that there's no longer a golden dragon named Lingjun in the world, who, despite still being a cub, prefers to dress up as an adult.
Thinking of the world's covetousness of the divine beast's body, Lu Li sighed silently, but there was nothing he could do.
"Sizzle!"
"Ah! Release me!"
Just as Lu Li was feeling a rare moment of reflection, he suddenly heard flames erupt and a piercing male scream.
Following the sound, he saw a dark, murky soul bursting out of the cave entrance that he had previously had the little fire spirit guard. It must have been trying to possess either Shushu or himself.
Unfortunately, he was discovered and captured by the little fire spirit as soon as he rushed out, and he was now being burned and screaming in agony.
Seeing that this person had reached this point and still wanted to do evil, Lu Li's lips curled into a cold smile.
Tell the little fire spirit to spare its breath and return it to Lingjun for treatment, then let the little fire spirit run wild.
The little fire spirit glanced at the weakened soul that was about to dissipate, then turned its gaze to Lu Li and asked for a pill that would be useful to the soul. It kept the other party alive and began to torment the soul.
Before long, a series of shrill wails rang out. In the end, Lu Li found the sound too grating and cast a silencing spell, which finally quieted things down.
However, he didn't sit idle. After collecting the dragon tendons and dragon skin, he began collecting the golden dragon blood from the blood pool.
No one knows what method that scum used to mix the Golden Dragon's blood with a pool of blood of some unknown substance.
Lu Li was only able to separate the Golden Dragon Blood with the help of Xue Ling and Shu Yi Bao.
Looking at the half-full bottle of golden dragon blood collected in the bottle, Lu Li called back the little fire spirit that was still playing. With a flick of a flame, the blood pool was burned to ashes.
As for the soul, it was naturally trapped inside the Soul Wood, and multiple restrictions were placed on the outside before it was stored away separately.
Only when the blood pool was completely devoid of blood did Lu Li put the millet back into his pocket and continue deeper into the opposite passage. He was determined to destroy this ruined mansion, and he meant what he said.
