Dragon Martial Emperor

Chapter – 137 Absorbs the heart grass

Long Yu had seen Pond Snow resting and was about to leave the room when Pond Snow suddenly opened his eyes.

“Elder brother, how do you know I’m coming?”

Long Yu asked, still surprised.

“Brother Long Yu, I know you come from Zhentian Sect. I also know that you want me to return the Ling clan villa and that you are good friends with Ling Han who is the heir to that villa.”

Pond Snow stood up and smiled, “We martial artists have to stay aware of each and everything that is happening. I am also aware that the Ling clan villa is now free of the gloomy energy that previously surrounded it, and I’m afraid it has something to do with you.”

“Elder brother Pond is indeed powerful.”

Long Yu narrowed his eyes.

“Brother Long Yu, please be at ease. I, Pond Snow, bear no ill will for you.”

Pond Snow waved his hands and said, “I know that you and Major General Long Ji do not get along well. But ordinary experts like me had to seize the opportunity of rescuing Major General back to safety otherwise there are no means left to replenish our resources. I request Brother Long Yu to understand the situation.”

“It’s alright, I don’t mind.” Long Yu said shaking his head. He did not really care about it.

“Elder brother Pond Snow, do you have any plans for Ling Clan Villa?”

“No plans at all.”

Pond Snow laughed and said, “I don’t like to stay at one place for a long time. So I ought to give the Ling Clan Villa to someone else.”

“So it is.”

Long Yu thought, “It seems that this Pond Snow is accustomed of wandering and feels that staying at one single place for a long time will choke him to death.”

“Younger brother Long Yu, rest assured. Your friend Ling Han will not be troubled.”

Pond Snow continued with a composed look on his face, “However, if you consume the Long Yue Jindan, you might end up in trouble.”

Long Yu’s expression changed as he heard these words.

Unexpectedly, Pond Snow had a clue about Long Yue Jindan!

“What do you mean, Brother Pond? Please speak clearly.”

Long Yu lightly said.

“I don’t have the exact information, but…….”

Pond Snow narrowed his eyes and said, “I have heard that His Majesty Prince Chu Chao Sheng is known for controlling people and using them as his puppets. What secret is behind this Long Yue Jindan, I don’t exactly know. But you must stay careful at all times, Brother Long Yu.”

“Thanks a lot, Elder brother Pond Snow. I will be extremely careful.”

Long Yu nodded.

Regardless of any secret, the Long Yue Jindan contained rich Ling qi and this was extremely important for Long Yu. It was so powerful that it would help him reach Zhenling 2nd layer with ease.

As a result, his basic strength would get doubled, his ability to use spirit level battle weapons and awakening palm samsara will also increase to such an extent that he will be able to compete with an expert of Zhenling 4th layer!

An ordinary expert of Zhenling 3rd layer wouldn’t be his opponent then!

As for the issue with Long Yue Jindan, Long Yu didn’t know. All he knew was that he was different from the ordinary people – he had nine hidden dragon mark on his chest.

He can let the nine hidden dragon mark absorb the Long Yue Jindan and store the Ling qi. He can later absorb this Ling qi slowly when he is sure it is safe.

Absorbing Ling qi wouldn’t be a problem for Long Yu.

After finishing the chat with Pond Snow, Long Yu took his leave and immediately returned to his shelter to take rest for three days in order to absorb the Long Yue Jindan.

In Tang Guan fortress, there were residential facilities not only for high rank military officers but also for ordinary experts. Long Yu was residing among them.

“Long Yue Jindan, a spiritual level immortality pill, I would like to check what Chu Chao Sheng has in store for me.”

Long Yu’s eyes shone brightly.

The nine hidden dragon mark on his chest would only allow the Ling qi to seep through his meridians, preventing any mishap.

He quickly activated the nine hidden dragon mark while holding the Long Yue Jindan to start absorbing Ling qi from the immortality pill.

Only rich Ling qi was being absorbed by the nine hidden dragon mark!

“The immortality pill that was awarded to Pond Snow is a very effective spiritual level immortality pill. However, since Old White has already given me the same one, the next time I use it, I will only be able to absorb half of its efficacy.”

Long Yu was pondering if he would like to exchange a top grade spiritual level soldier with Pond Snow’s Iris Snow Dan.

Earlier, Long Yu had used his nine hidden dragon fist to kill Hua Fu and obtained his battle weapon – the flaming jade talisman.

The value of that top grade spirit level battle weapon was not low. In fact, it was enough to be exchanged with a top grade spirit level immortality pill!

Long Yu wanted to enhance his cultivation and the most crucial point was lack of Yao dan or neidan of a beast in order to be able to break through the bottleneck.

However, the flaming jade talisman was more useful to experts who practiced fire control type martial skills and Pond Snow would most likely not exchange Iris Snow Dan for flaming jade talisman.

This was one of the reasons why Long Yu did not propose exchange.

As the nine hidden dragon mark was absorbing rich ling qi from the Long Yue Jindan, Long Yu began utilizing this Ling qi for a breakthrough.

In addition to the previous gift of Old White – a top grade spirit level immortality pill, Iris Snow Dan, there shall be no problem for Long Yu to have a breakthrough and reach the second layer of Zhenling realm.

Strong Ling qi entered the nine hidden dragon mark which stored it and released a great amount of Xuan qi which flowed through Long Yu’s body and reached his Dantian.

The Xuan qi filled all his meridians with mysterious energy as he was about to enter the next layer of Zhenling realm.

His heart began thumping more and more fiercely as he neared the breakthrough.

As the Xuan qi completely enveloped Long Yu, he began to feel the resonance between heaven and earth.

More and more Xuan qi seeped through his meridians and completely filled his Dantian, the influence of heaven and earth resonance grew simultaneously

If an expert quenches his body with heaven and earth resonance, he can eventually achieve the world influence and enter into the realm of heaven and earth unity.

Long Yu had now quenched his heavenly arteries and was now prepared for the actual task!

As the Iris Snow Dan was completely absorbed by the nine hidden dragon mark, his heavenly arteries were now quenched and more concise.

Next, he would absorb Lon Yue Jindan to refine his Dantian. With its help, he would ultimately be able to congeal the true spirit of Zhenling. These two processes needed very rich Ling qi.

Without the help of any immortality pill or neidan of some beast, this process should take three to five years for an ordinary martial expert.

Moreover, if an ordinary expert wanted to breakthrough a Zhenling layer, he would encounter a major bottleneck.

“I have two Zhenlings in my Dantian – the sun Zhenling and the nine hidden dragon Zhenling. To be able to use them in a more accurate manner, all I need is to step into Zhenling second layer!”

Long Yu thought.

To make it happen, he had to break through the bottleneck by using the Ling qi and that too more efficiently than any ordinary martial expert!

If he wanted to know the extent of the power of the nine hidden dragon mark, he had to complete quenching his meridians and refine them. This was going to consume a huge amount of Ling qi.

If there was no Long Yue Jindan, it would have been impossible for Long Yu to step into Zhenling second layer.

“Sun Zhenling! Condensate!”

Long Yu started absorbing Ling qi from the Long Yue Jindan while carefully began to refine the Sun Zhenling. This process needed utmost care because even a slight slip of concentration could cause great damage to him.

Wastage of Ling qi could cause breakthrough failure and more Ling qi would be needed for a second attempt which would definitely be harder than the first attempt!

One whole day passed as Long Yu sat in the cottage absorbing immortality pills.

During this time, no one was supposed to disturb him.

One thought that kept troubling Long Yu during this time was that in spite of wanting to kill him, why did Long Ji not attack him now? Why did he let such a golden opportunity slip away so easily?

However, as soon as the absorption of Long Yue Jindan by the nine hidden dragon mark finished, Long Yu felt something.

There was something really nasty about this Long Yue Jindan!

“It seems that Chu Chao Sheng deliberately added some kind of strange herb in the composition of Long Yue Jindan. As I have absorbed only pure Ling qi, naturally there is some weird residue left.”

Long Yu glared at the residue of Long Yue Jindan in his hands and sneered.

Judging by the appearance of the residue, he immediately got to know what it was. He remembered seeing this strange herb while he was living in the Feng clan mansion. This herb was called “Heart Grass.”

As the name suggests, the chief function of this herb was to captivate someone’s mind.

If any ordinary person had been rewarded with Long Yue Jindan, he would’ve eagerly swallowed the Long Yue Jindan and would’ve also turned into a mindless puppet of Chu Chao Sheng!

“I must admit it was a brilliant trap but it won’t work on me since I have nine hidden dragon mark!”

Long Yu sneered.

He did not expect that within a few days of his identity being exposed, Chu Chao Sheng would pose a threat to him.

If Chu Chao Sheng had succeeded in his plan, he would’ve proudly flaunted his power by keeping the son of the former Major General Long Zaitian as his pet dog!

Unfortunately for him, his first shot at Long Yu was completely miscalculated!

Without any hesitation, Long Yu discarded the residue and began his final sprint.

All the Ling qi present in the Long Yue Jindan was completely absorbed by him.

Around 30% of the Ling qi was required to condensate and refine the Sun Zhenling while simultaneously stepping into the second layer of the Zhenling realm.

The remaining 70% ling qi would be used to refine the nine hidden dragon Zhenling!

Obviously, an ordinary Zhenling expert would need around 2-3 times more Ling qi than Long Yu would need to break through and step into the second layer!

“Chu Chao Sheng, I must thank you for this Long Yue Jindan!”

Long Yu sneered as he began to quench the nine hidden dragon Zhenling by completely filling it with Ling qi.

Zhentian sun, after being quenched, started to emit more powerful Zhentian world influence.

Nine hidden dragon mark, too, was more powerful than ever, and if released at this time, would help Long Yu in easily defeating an expert of Zhenling fourth layer!

Obviously, Long Yu wouldn’t activate the nine hidden dragon mark until and unless there was no other way out because the nine hidden dragon Zhenling was scary and would certainly go berserk and wreak great havoc after coming out.

Finally, after one day and one night, Long Yu was done with the absorption of the immortality pills.

His strength was more formidable now.

He had emerged as a Zhenling expert of second layer!
