192: Classic

Cultivation is very troublesome.

It not only requires cultivation techniques, secret arts, and heavenly treasures, but also cultivation grounds and various fortuitous encounters.

Of course, at certain times, one could even say, if you don't have money, what are you cultivating for?!

An alchemist is a profession that earns a lot of resources.

In the novels you read in your previous life, it was basically always like this.

In fact, it truly is so.

You came to Mang Long Commandery City and established yourself as a mid-grade alchemist.

Soon, you received a large number of orders.

Resources continuously flowed into your pockets.

Just like that, your cultivation speed began to accelerate.

Source Opening Realm, where one cultivates a source ground within the body.

The limit for ordinary cultivators is a source ground of ten thousand mu in area!

However, the limit for a genius is over one hundred thousand mu in area.

But even a genius needs to consume massive resources to cultivate.

The resource trade of an entire commandery was barely enough to support you.

Two and a half years later, at eighteen years old, you had just barely reached over seven thousand mu in area.

Reaching the mid-stage of the Source Opening Realm.

In the Source Opening Realm, which is the peak Mang Long Realm, you once again became a powerful figure.

Afterward, you widely recruited apprentices, letting them earn resources for you.

But alchemy is not that easy to learn.

Not too many could truly mature.

However, things took a turn.

The head of the Ming family sought a high-grade spirit pill to attempt to break through to the Tongming Realm.

He gifted you the key token to the Savage Dragon Secret Realm, which was about to open.

The Savage Dragon Secret Realm is rumored to contain a Dragon Blood Pool.

It can be absorbed to accelerate progress in the Source Opening Realm.

Although you had long since broken through and could refine high-grade spirit pills, materials were scarce, and the market was small.

In a single commandery city, who could afford high-grade spirit pills?

However, the Savage Dragon Secret Realm, with only one character difference from Mang Long Commandery, you had heard of it long ago.

It is said to be the fallen place of a certain powerful Dragon Clan member.

So you gladly accepted.

Over the years, you had kept a low profile, and most people thought you were a frail alchemist.

Who would have thought that you also knew a little martial arts?

Soon, the day for the Savage Dragon Secret Realm to open arrived.

This secret realm attracted not only people from Mang Long Commandery.

It is said that there were also high-ranking family disciples from the domain capital.

You saw several family disciples who were once arrogant in the commandery city now acting subservient and fawning.

However, you were not flustered at all. The Savage Dragon Secret Realm restricts cultivators above Source Opening from entering.

And within the Source Opening Realm, you were confident that you were not inferior to anyone!

Of course, you did not become careless because of this.

No one knew how powerful the cultivation techniques practiced by cultivators from major regions were.

Inside the secret realm, there were many Dragon Blood Demonic Beasts.

There were also heavenly treasures difficult to find in the outside world.

After some fighting, you, who were slightly proficient in martial arts, entered the depths of the secret realm.

The three from the domain capital competed with each other, none giving way.

You had already enjoyed the Dragon Blood Pool.

It was not bad; your Source Opening ground had already broken through to twenty thousand mu in area.

This was already double that of an ordinary peak Source Opening cultivator.

Yet you were still in the mid-stage of Source Opening.

The three cultivators from the domain capital, two men and one woman.

Their goal was obvious: to obtain the inheritance of the Savage Dragon!

The Savage Dragon has many inheritances.

The most famous among them is the Ancestral Dragon Secret Art of the Savage Desolation!

A body-refining cultivation technique.

It directly leads to the Law Imprinting Realm and even the Divine Palace Realm!

After a series of struggles against grand formations, puppets, and even malevolent spirits.

Only six reached the deepest part.

However, there were four grand halls in the deepest part, and their whereabouts were unknown.

Finally, to take a gamble, the six went their separate ways.

You had already gained a lot along the way.

Formation inheritance, puppetry, two Tongming methods, and hundreds of heavenly treasures.

You were already very satisfied.

However, you possess the Chaos Reboot talent; you are not human now, but merely a stone that has taken human form.

You are not afraid of death at all.

If you die, you can absorb the experiences and mysteries of this life.

Reboot your life and live another lifetime.

This is your capital to act as you please, to roam the world freely.

Guided by your instincts, you broke into one of the grand halls.

Soon after, the noble lady from a high-ranking family in the domain capital also broke into the hall.

After searching around.

You met her at a tombstone.

The Imperial Tomb of the Savage Dragon Sect!

This senior Savage Dragon was once a mighty figure of the Law Imprinting Realm.

His life story was carved on the tombstone.

It turns out that the Imperial Savage Dragon was not of the Dragon Clan!

But a human who cultivated and transformed into a dragon body!

The Ancestral Dragon Secret Art of the Savage Desolation can transform beings with bloodlines inferior to the Dragon Clan towards the Dragon Clan!

It is not merely a Law Imprinting Realm cultivation technique, or a Divine Palace Realm cultivation technique.

It might even be a remnant of an Emperor's cultivation technique.

The Imperial Savage Dragon was frank about the cause of his death.

He could not restrain his love for beauty.

He pursued many proud daughters of heaven from imperial and noble families.

High-born noble ladies.

Finally, things came to a head.

He didn't have time to explain, nor could he enjoy the imperial pleasure of having many women at his side.

His backyard caught fire.

He was struck down into the mortal world by the powerful figures behind the noble ladies.

Finally, disheartened and with little lifespan left.

He casually found a place and buried himself.

At the very end, this Imperial Savage Dragon did not admit his mistakes!

He believed he was not wrong; his mistake was simply not being strong enough.

So he advised future inheritors that, when considering having many women at one's side and sharing a bed.

One's strength must be great! Otherwise, it's easy to get beaten to death or perish!

Bai Ningshuang, the noble lady and genius from the domain capital, seemed to be angry.

She couldn't stand the flirtatious remarks of this deceased old senior.

She directly smashed his tombstone.

You felt this scene was somewhat familiar.

It seemed to be a classic in your mind.

You had an ominous premonition.

As expected!

As the tombstone was shattered, a wisp of residual soul floated out of the tomb.

That was the surviving consciousness of the Imperial Savage Dragon.

Seeing the unfavorable situation, you took to your heels and ran.

Alas, the arm cannot twist the thigh.

The Imperial Savage Dragon imparted the Ancestral Dragon Secret Art of the Savage Desolation to you.

And all his ultimate knowledge.

He believed you were a promising young man.

Knowing when to run and when to advance and retreat.

You were a good seedling.

But a good seedling also needs pressure to grow vigorously.

So, he released his last treasured bottle of 'Rainbow Mist of Affection'.

Enveloping you and Bai Ningshuang within it.

He himself disappeared without a trace.

Three days later, you pulled up your pants and ran away.

The noble lady and genius from a high-ranking family in the domain capital pursued you with a sword.

Another three days and three nights.

Running was truly impossible!

You were truly fed up with this Imperial Savage Dragon.

He was already dead, yet his mischievousness was still so strong!

When reading novels in your previous life, you only found it classic and interesting.

You never expected to become the 'engine' of the interesting!

After some exchanges, Bai Ningshuang could not subdue or suppress you for a while.

You also couldn't do anything to her for the time being.

After all, you weren't the only one with high-level inheritance!

Finally, you racked your brains to persuade her.

You wanted to make a thirty-year pact with her!

To let her know what 'thirty years east of the river, thirty years west of the river, do not bully a young man in poverty' meant!

She was clearly choked by your words.

Thirty years, both of you were only around twenty years old now.

In thirty years, the day lilies would be cold!

Although cultivators have long lives.

But that's not how one makes such a pact!

She felt you lacked sincerity.

So, you fought another round.

Finally, a three-year pact was made!

Three years later, in the capital city of the North Cloud Domain, a battle would decide the victor!

If you won, the two of you would become Dao companions.

If you lost, you would become a live-in son-in-law of the Bai family, Bai Ningshuang's live-in husband.

"So I don't have to die if I lose? You should have said so earlier! If you had, I would have surrendered. I've never been a kept man in my life..." you muttered softly.

"What did you say?!"

You were caught red-handed by Bai Ningshuang.

Her willow-like brows stood on end, and she had a look of gentle anger, appearing very upset.

You obviously dared not repeat it.

You quickly promised that you would definitely not disappoint her.

After several twists and turns, the two of you were about to separate.

Before leaving, Bai Ningshuang warned you repeatedly, reminding you that the death of the Imperial Savage Dragon was a fresh lesson.

She told you not to be ungrateful!
