172: Chapter 172 Azure Dragon Resurrected

Soon, all the medicinal herbs were put in. Under the searing heat of the Sacred Fire, the Impurities were separated from the medicinal liquid, and after undergoing refinement, they slowly fused together.

Half an hour later, a smooth, round Medicinal Pill appeared inside the Pill Furnace.

"Success."

Xiao Yuchen took out the Medicinal Pill, carefully inspected it, and after finding no issues, handed it to Azure Dragon. He then retrieved the dragon yuan from the System Space.

"Senior Azure Dragon, please swallow the Medicinal Pill first, and then enter the dragon yuan."

Hearing Xiao Yuchen's words, Azure Dragon excitedly took the Medicinal Pill, placed it in his mouth without hesitation, and his body transformed into a streak of light, entering the dragon yuan.

Xiao Yuchen placed the dragon yuan onto the dragon bone, then released the Sacred Fire, enveloping both the dragon yuan and the dragon bone.

Xiao Yuchen's expression was slightly tense as he strictly controlled the temperature of the Sacred Fire, allowing the dragon yuan and dragon bone to fuse.

I do not know how much time had passed, but the dragon yuan shattered, turning into a golden liquid that permeated the dragon bone. Then, at a speed visible to the naked eye, nerves, blood vessels, and flesh began to grow on the dragon bone.

Another few hours passed, and the flesh stopped growing. A vast dragon might began to permeate the air.

Although Xiao Yuchen was not a member of the Dragon Clan, he was still forced to retreat repeatedly by that dragon might.

The dragon might lasted for a few minutes before finally gradually fading away. Then, Xiao Yuchen saw a giant dragon awaken before him, slowly opening its eyes.

"Little brother, I succeeded. I have truly been resurrected."

Seeing a dragon speak human words, Xiao Yuchen was truly a bit unaccustomed to it. Azure Dragon also felt it was too awkward to speak with Xiao Yuchen in that form, so he directly transformed into his human form.

"Ding! Congratulations to the Host for completing the long-term challenge. You have received three drops of ancestral dragon blood essence, which have been placed in the System Inventory. Please check them, Host."

Hearing the System's voice, Xiao Yuchen was inwardly excited. He had not expected the System to actually give him three drops of ancestral dragon blood essence. He wondered what changes would occur if he were to consume the ancestral dragon blood essence.

However, although Xiao Yuchen trusted Azure Dragon, the ancestral dragon blood essence was a supreme treasure of the Dragon Clan, so he dared not take it out easily; at least, not right now.

"Senior, I wonder what your cultivation level is now?" Xiao Yuchen asked, feeling curious.

"Tribulation Transcendence Stage, I suppose. My Peak state was Late Tribulation Transcendence Stage. Now that I have just recovered my Physical Body, I am already very satisfied to be able to retain the cultivation level of the Tribulation Transcendence Stage.

If not for using my own dragon bone, I fear my cultivation would have dropped to the Mahayana Stage. This is all thanks to your help," Azure Dragon said gratefully.

"Senior, you are too polite. Since I promised you, I had to do it regardless of the cost. I wonder what your plans are for the future?" Xiao Yuchen asked curiously.

Hearing Xiao Yuchen's words, Azure Dragon fell silent. After a long while, he said, "I know you will soon head to the Cultivation World. Logically, I should accompany you and keep you safe.

But this plane is currently too fragile and cannot withstand the pressure of a Cultivator at the Tribulation Transcendence Stage. If I hadn't suppressed my cultivation, I fear the heavenly punishment would have already descended.

Therefore, I might not be able to stay by your side. I must head to the Cultivation World first. Furthermore, I have been away from the Dragon Clan for thousands of years, and I would like to go back and see them."

Hearing Azure Dragon say this, not only was Xiao Yuchen not disappointed, he was actually somewhat excited. He had too many secrets on him, and with such a great expert following him, many of his methods could not be displayed, otherwise, it would be easy to be exposed.

Moreover, Cultivating is inherently a Heaven-Defying act. One must experience danger personally to grow faster. If he were always protected by others, he would never be able to grow.

"Senior Azure Dragon, you need not worry about me. With my current strength, I should not be considered weak even in the Cultivation World. Moreover, if I were always protected by you, how would I ever be able to grow?" Xiao Yuchen said with a smile.

"Do you still remember the Storage Ring I gave you? Inside it is an azure dragon token. If you encounter difficulties in the future, you can bring the azure dragon token to the Dragon Clan to find me, and I will definitely help you."

Hearing this, Xiao Yuchen remembered that Senior Azure Dragon had indeed given him a Storage Ring. However, because he knew Azure Dragon would be reborn, he had not touched that Storage Ring, nor had he even checked what was inside, because he intended to return the ring.

"Senior Azure Dragon, since you have already been reborn, please take back this Storage Ring."

Seeing that Xiao Yuchen actually wanted to return his own belongings, Azure Dragon was visibly stunned. He shook his head and said, "Inside are my life's learnings and some of my insights on Cultivating. These are useless to me, but they might be helpful to you.

Besides that, there are also some Spirit Stones and some Artifact Refining Materials inside, which you can also use. Those Spirit Stones are temporarily enough for you, but for me, they serve no purpose at all.

After reaching the Tribulation Transcendence Stage, Spirit Stones are only an aid; the most important thing is insights. Therefore, you should keep this Storage Ring." Azure Dragon refused.

"Alright then, I will accept it. However, I am also a Formation Master, and I know that taking a Teleportation Array requires Spirit Stones. Let me leave half of the Spirit Stones for you."

Hearing Xiao Yuchen's words, Azure Dragon gave an awkward smile; he had almost forgotten about that.

"Alright, just leave one thousand for me."

Xiao Yuchen handed two Storage Rings to Azure Dragon—one was Azure Dragon's own, and the other was snatched from Wuqing.

"Senior Azure Dragon, you should use your own Storage Ring; you can just put the items into my Storage Ring."

"Alright, going to the Cultivation World without a Storage Ring is indeed very inconvenient."

With a nod of agreement, Azure Dragon emptied his Storage Ring, leaving only one thousand Spirit Stones, and placed all other items into Xiao Yuchen's Storage Ring.

"Alright, little brother, great kindness needs no thanks. Let us part ways here."

"Alright, Senior Azure Dragon, we will meet in the Cultivation World."

Azure Dragon handed the ring to Xiao Yuchen and then disappeared from the cave.

Xiao Yuchen followed shortly after and left. Not long after the two of them departed, the Qingmu Hall collapsed, and these Ancient Ruins thus completely disappeared into the long river of history.

Xiao Yuchen was just about to leave when a giant Great Sea Turtle swam toward him.

"Master, it is so good to see you. Why did this cave suddenly collapse?"

Previously, Xiao Yuchen had asked the Great Sea Turtle to help guard the Qingmu Hall. After receiving Xiao Yuchen's order, the Great Sea Turtle had stayed in the vicinity, and upon seeing movement here, it immediately swam over.

"You have actually grown so big."

The Great Sea Turtle was like a small island floating on the sea, looking to be over twenty meters long—it was simply exaggerated. Could it be that this turtle had awakened a Xuanwu Bloodline?

"Master, isn't this all thanks to you? I have grown a Spiritual Root and am now also a Cultivator."

Hearing this news, Xiao Yuchen was also greatly shocked. He had not expected that by chance, he had actually molded a turtle Immortal.

It was just that Xiao Yuchen did not understand why the turtle could use the dashan pill to awaken a Spiritual Root, but Zhou Tiancheng and the others could not. Could it be because the turtle's Bloodline was closer to the Xuanwu?

"Sigh, it seems that if I want to let Yiran and the others awaken a Spiritual Root, I need to think of another way," Xiao Yuchen thought to himself.

"Congratulations. Cultivate well. Once I find a transformation herb in the future, I will definitely help you refine a transformation pill."

With Azure Dragon's departure, Xiao Yuchen felt very empty inside, as if he had suddenly lost his goal to strive for, and he did not know where to go from here.
