"One strand of dragon power can increase fifty thousand pounds of qi power. Adding my original dragon power, it should add up to two hundred and fifty thousand pounds of qi power."
Inside the manor's secret chamber, Ye Chen was sitting on the stone platform, refining the Dragon Blood Plant.
Back in the Treasure River Island, when he had refined the plant and obtained the first strand of dragon power, it had devoured Ye Chen's original qi power, increasing it to two hundred thousand pounds. After all, his original qi power was around one hundred and fifty thousand pounds. Now that he had refined the second strand of dragon power, he did not have enough qi power for it to devour. Therefore, it could only increase by fifty thousand pounds, which would add up to two hundred and fifty thousand pounds.
"No, one strand of dragon power could increase fifty thousand pounds. If I had enough Dragon Blood Plant, wouldn't I be able to increase my qi power to one million pounds? Something is not right. The human body should have its own limit, and should not be able to increase it endlessly."
With that thought in mind, Ye Chen became a bit more cautious.
"The dragon power refined from the Dragon Blood Plant is just pure qi power, without any other support. The Dragon Bone Jade Marrow could not only refine the dragon power, but also form a dragon bone defensive layer on the surface of one's skin, adding another defensive effect. Alright, I will not refine the Dragon Blood Plant for now. Let's refine the Dragon Bone Jade Marrow first."
The Dragon Bone Jade Marrow was not meant to be swallowed; it only needed to be extracted. Placing both of his hands on his dantian, Ye Chen held onto the Dragon Bone Jade Marrow and slowly activated his Zhen yuan, extracting the energy inside. The energy contained in the Dragon Bone Jade Marrow was several times more than that of the Dragon Blood Plant. It was like a torrential river, pouring into Ye Chen's body through his meridians. Vaguely, one could even hear a splashing sound.
"What a rich energy!"
Ye Chen took a deep breath, increasing the speed of refining the Dragon Bone Jade Marrow's energy.
After an unknown amount of time, a thick layer of blue light appeared on Ye Chen's body. The blue light was like a halo, crystal clear and pure.
"Not good! My qi power has reached three hundred thousand pounds, and it cannot be increased anymore. Could it be that this is the limit of my body? But, the energy of the Dragon Bone Jade Marrow is all in my body, and I have only refined twenty to thirty percent of it. The rest is going to be wasted."
The value of the Dragon Bone Jade Marrow was simply too great. He had only refined twenty to thirty percent of its energy, wasting seventy to eighty percent. This was undoubtedly a waste of heavenly treasures. If word got out, he would be cursed by others.
Focusing his mind, Ye Chen continued to refine energy, wanting to break through his limits.
Two hours!
Four hours!
After a full six hours, Ye Chen's strength had been stuck at around three hundred thousand jins, unable to increase any further. The Dragon Bone Jade Essence was like boiling water, endlessly churning within Ye Chen's body. If he did not refine the Dragon Bone Jade Essence in time, then it was very likely that Ye Chen's body would explode, or it would break through the Zhen Yuan seal and disappear from the world.
Another four hours passed, and it was already the middle of the night outside.
"Break through!"
Crackle!
A series of popping sounds rang out as a ring of formless and terrifying Qi spread out from Ye Chen's body, stirring up circles of ripples. At the same time, the surface of Ye Chen's skin glowed with a resplendent greenish-red crystal light. Even his hair, facial features, and clothes were dyed with a greenish-red color, making him look like a greenish-red jade sculpture.
"Rank 3 spirit body! Done!"
The rank of the spirit body represented one's physical strength, and had little to do with the strength. Therefore, when Ye Chen's spirit body had increased from rank 2 to rank 3, his physical strength had increased drastically, allowing him to have more strength. It was like how a normal great sword could only handle the Zhen Qi of a Clasping Yuan Realm warrior. If an Astral Reaching Realm warrior continued to use a normal great sword, then the normal great sword would break into pieces. Now that Ye Chen's spirit body had reached rank 3, its strength had increased tremendously, allowing him to have more dragon power without worrying about not being able to handle it.
With a breakthrough, the remaining Dragon Bone Jade Essence energy had all been refined into dragon power, merging with Ye Chen's cells and bones. Deep inside his body, it had become Ye Chen's own strength. However, the rank 3 spirit body had its limits as well. It could only have four hundred thousand jins of strength at most.
After reaching four hundred thousand jins of strength, there was only about half of the Dragon Bone Jade Essence energy left. In other words, this half could only be wasted, unless Ye Chen could continue to increase the rank of his spirit body. However, it was impossible to continuously increase the rank of his spirit body in such a short period of time.
"It seems like my body's talent is not much different from normal martial geniuses. Before attaining the spirit body, my body's limit was around one hundred thousand jins. Rank 1 spirit body's limit was two hundred thousand jins, rank 2 three hundred thousand jins, and rank 3 four hundred thousand jins. This is the standard for most people. If it were Chu Zhongtian, then it would be horrifying. When he was still an Astral Reaching Realm warrior, his body's strength was equivalent to a rank 2 spirit body, or even a peak rank 2 spirit body."
It was said that people were extremely talented, but obviously, Ye Chen was not that talented. His body's talent was only normal, and not some special body.
"Let's try the Dragon Bone Defensive Layer!"
Ye Chen did not know what the Dragon Bone Defensive Layer was, but he subconsciously tightened his body and activated his dragon power. Crack! Crack! The dragon power seemed to have some kind of bone element. When it reached the surface of Ye Chen's skin, it immediately condensed, forming a thin layer of white bone, which had a faint green-red halo on its surface.
Pap!
Ye Chen poked his own arm with his finger, making a crisp sound of hard objects colliding.
"It's even more powerful than the protective Zhen yuan. But, it will consume my dragon power."
Standing up, Ye Chen let out a long breath. A faint pressure spread out, forming the shape of an ice flood dragon's dragon aura.
"There are still seven Dragon Blood Plants left, which I can't use. Whatever, my main focus is not on strength. As long as I am not weaker than others, it will be fine. I think Yan Fengfeng, Hai Wuya, and the others can only refine a little bit of the Dragon Blood Plants. The rest can only be stored and used as my own wealth. When necessary, I can use them to barter."
…
In the following period of time, Ye Chen focused all of his energy on the Amaranthine Nature and Sky Thunder Cut.
After a month, the Amaranthine Nature had finally reached perfection. Once he stabbed out, it was like a small plant sprouting in the spring. It was not eye-catching, but it could grow quickly. The sword power was continuous, using ninety percent of his power and leaving ten percent behind. The remaining ten percent could be used as a link, increasing the sword speed continuously.
Meanwhile, the Sky Thunder Cut had also reached one hundred and ten percent.
The Sky Thunder Cut was a sword move created by Ye Chen himself. In the beginning, it was indeed quite difficult, and the progress was slow. But, ever since Ye Chen reached the Sea of Soul realm, his comprehension of the Sky Thunder Cut had gradually increased. It was like a skyscraper. Comprehending other people's profound martial arts was like laying the foundation for others, while creating one's own profound martial arts was like laying the foundation for oneself. In the beginning, it would waste a lot of time, but as time went on, the benefits of building one's own foundation would start to show.
The most important thing was that the things created by oneself were undoubtedly the most suitable for oneself.
On this day, Ye Chen had just arrived from the Extreme Tai World.
Pap!
All of a sudden, one of the jade tags in his storage ring shattered.
Taking out the jade tag, a smile appeared on Ye Chen's face, "Murong has finally reached the Sea of Soul realm and come to the Sky Martial Region."
This jade tag was the mother jade tag, and Murong Qingcheng had a sub jade tag in her hand. Crushing the sub jade tag would trigger the mother jade tag and cause it to shatter on its own.
"Murong had told me that when she broke through, she would wait for me in the West Ling City of the Sky Martial Region. She should be there right now."
Leaving the mansion, Ye Chen sat on his flying puppet and flew toward the West Ling City.
…
The West Ling City was a city near the South region of the Sky Martial Region.
There was a West Ling Restaurant in the city, which was one of the two most representative restaurants in the city. It often served famous powerful warriors.
On the fifth floor of the restaurant …
Inside the lobby …
A woman in a purple dress with a veil on her face was sitting by the window, enjoying her afternoon tea.
The people sitting at the other tables would occasionally look over and glance at her.
"Such a unique aura! I wonder what she looks like under the veil."
"Definitely not bad. I wonder who would be lucky enough to see her face."
While everyone was talking, two people walked out of the room next door. The one on the left was a handsome young man with green hair, wearing a green leather armor. The one on the right had gray hair and carried a battle blade on his back. They were indeed Duan Lengya and Lin Ku.
"Eh? I did not expect to see such high quality goods in this place."
Duan Lengya chuckled as he walked toward the woman in purple.
"Miss, I am Duan Lengya. May I know your name?" Duan Lengya looked at the woman in purple with a smile on his face. His soul power quietly penetrated her veil, wanting to see her real face.
"Sir, you are being too impolite!"
The woman in purple pushed her soul power, blocking him from looking into her face.
Lin Ku said, "Brother Duan wants to make friends with you. I guess this is your first time in the Sky Martial Region, and you have not been to the pavilion yet. We can take you there."
"No need. My friend will take me there."
"Your friend? I would like to meet your friend. I think he would know me. You don't mind if I sit here, right?" Duan Lengya saw that the woman in purple was only at Mid Sea of Souls Realm, so he knew that his friend would not be that powerful. So, he sat down in front of her.
The woman frowned as she stood up and said, "Sorry, I have something else to do. I will leave now."
"Leaving now?"
Duan Lengya was not too happy about it.
Lin Ku stood in front of Murong Qingcheng.
Boom!
The woman in purple exchanged a palm attack with Lin Ku, and they were evenly matched.
"Interesting!"
Duan Lengya did not care too much about it. Lin Ku was good at blade arts, and the two were only testing each other. Of course, the woman in purple was indeed powerful.
"You want to leave? Sure, but let me see your face first!"
All of a sudden, Duan Lengya moved his body. He reached his hand towards the girl's face, trying to take off the black veil. He wanted to see what she looked like. From the outside, he could only see the outline of her face.
Everyone around shook their heads, feeling sorry for the woman in purple. This Duan Lengya was a very good man. None of the women he had his eyes on could run away. Obviously, the woman in purple had piqued his curiosity, and he would not give up until he got what he wanted.
Shoo!
The purple-robed woman was extremely fast. She leaned back and passed through the window like a ghost, arriving outside the West-Hill Restaurant.
Duan Lengya coldly snorted, "None of the women I want can run away from me."
Shoo!
The temperature in the lobby dropped suddenly as Duan Lengya turned into a cold wind and chased after her.
