Chapter 93: Nurturing the Dragon Egg, Sword Dragon Eight Wings, Level Forty

After Gu Xuan, Dugu Bo, and Du Gu Yan returned to the Seven Treasure Glazed Sect, they didn't linger long; after Gu Xuan met Gu Rong, he brought Ning Rongrong along to Binghuo Liangyi Yan.

Gu Xuan still had an unabsorbed external soul bone on him, and he also held a dragon egg that needed to be hatched, so he ultimately chose to go to Binghuo Liangyi Yan to absorb another soul bone.

Gu Rong remained in charge of the sect, and incidentally opened a spatial gate for Gu Xuan and the others, directly transmitting them to the outskirts of Sunset Forest.

Regarding this, Gu Xuan felt nothing but envy; this soul skill is not only cool, but also extremely useful.

Based on this, Gu Xuan still wondered why, in the original work, Gu Rong didn't directly start the eighth soul skill to teleport Ning Fengzhi and them away, but instead chose to go on foot.

Gu Xuan also couldn't figure out why; after all, although such an awesome soul skill couldn't mass-transport, sending a few core figures should be fine, right?

Of course, Gu Xuan also didn't intend to dwell on these; after all, the original is the original, and now he is also a transmigrator, so naturally things will be different.

Returning to Sunset Forest, Ning Rongrong was directly attracted by the forest's wonders; she pulled Du Gu Yan to play all day before calming down, then helplessly followed Du Gu Yan to cultivate.

Gu Xuan brought Ning Rongrong here not to let her play, but to supervise her cultivation; she is now level thirty-seven, and after consuming immortal-grade herbs, her martial soul has evolved into the Nine Treasure Glazed Pagoda.

Gu Xuan naturally couldn't just let Ning Rongrong continue slacking off; what pleased him was that she now had none of the original's young lady temper—although she didn't like cultivating, her effort was not lacking at all.

Perhaps it was because Du Gu Yan's ten-thousand-year fourth soul ring stimulated her; but regarding this, Gu Xuan naturally was pleased to see it.

If Ning Rongrong can grow quickly, then for him she will also be a great help in the future, after all, the auxiliary effect of the Nine Treasure Glazed Pagoda goes without saying.

And as soon as Dugu Bo returned to Binghuo Liangyi Yan, he went into closed-door cultivation; the poison on his body has now been cured, and his soul power is already at the ninety-first level peak, this round of closed-door cultivation is also to break through to the ninety-second level.

Then, after taking the Soul Ascension Pill and the Barrier Breaking Pill, without further comment, reaching the ninety-third level is still hopeful.

Only after everyone else had their own affairs did Gu Xuan begin to do his own.

Originally Gu Xuan wanted to try placing the dragon egg inside Binghuo Liangyi Yan to nurture it, but he found that the dragon egg lacked the ability to resist those two extreme forces of Binghuo Liangyi Yan; if forcibly placed inside, the egg would have only one outcome: turning from a raw egg into a cooked egg.

So in the end Gu Xuan could only dig a ten-meter-wide pit beside Binghuo Liangyi Yan, then place the carcasses of the Sword Wing Demon Dragon and the Giant Claw Tyrant Dragon inside to bleed out, after drying the refined dragon blood, he then used Binghuo Liangyi Yan to refine the two dragon corpses, and finally poured them together into the dragon blood pool.

After doing all that, Gu Xuan then placed the dragon egg inside.

Sure enough, as expected, the dragon egg could indeed absorb dragon blood to nurture itself, which made Gu Xuan very happy.

This pool of dragon blood is the entire essence of two ninety-thousand-year spirit beasts; after absorbing it all, this dragon egg will definitely undergo a terrifying increase.

After finishing all that, Gu Xuan then took from his soul tool the external soul bone previously produced by the Sword Wing Demon Dragon; this external soul bone is like a miniature version of the eight swords on the Sword Wing Demon Dragon's back, connected to a spinal bone.

Just after taking out this external soul bone, a terrifying sword intent began to permeate, the surrounding air seeming as if it were about to be sliced; Gu Xuan, with his martial soul manifested, only dared to touch it after transforming his hands into bone claws.

This external soul bone of over ninety thousand years has a value already not inferior to a hundred-thousand-year soul bone, and the reason Gu Xuan wants to absorb it is not only because the Sword Wing Demon Dragon's skills are sufficiently cool, but also because the quality of this external soul bone is enough to move his heart.

Gu Xuan sat cross-legged, regulated his breath and focused his mind; after a long while, he placed this external soul bone on his back and then began to drive his soul power to refine it.

At the moment Gu Xuan's soul power contacted the external soul bone, the bone was drawn to his back, gradually fitting onto his spine—something even Gu Xuan hadn't expected to go so smoothly.

What Gu Xuan didn't know was that, after receiving the inheritance of the Ice Fire Dragon King, he became equivalent to a humanoid dragon king; the Sword Dragon Eight Wings, also belonging to the dragon race, naturally had no rejection toward him, and even actively sought to merge.

After the soul bone bonded, Gu Xuan fully exerted his soul power; his spine generated a pull that firmly attached the external soul bone, and once the external soul bone was completely bonded, he began to fully refine it.

During this process Gu Xuan felt no pain at all; he sensed only endless warmth and comfort.

After who knows how long, when he slowly opened his eyes, he was startled to see a face with a bit of baby fat before him, a pair of large eyes locking onto his; seeing Gu Xuan open his eyes, those eyes even cutely blinked—who else could it be but Ning Rongrong?

"Gu Xuan brother! You're awake!" Ning Rongrong exclaimed excitedly upon seeing Gu Xuan open his eyes.

Gu Xuan smiled helplessly and said, "What's up? Why are you staring at me?"

Ning Rongrong replied, "You've been sitting like that for a week; at first I and my sister-in-law were almost scared to death, and you actually have eight swords growing out of your back, somewhat like Sword Grandpa's Seven Slaughter Sword, except the blades bear dragon patterns."

Hearing Ning Rongrong's words, Gu Xuan didn't pay attention to the eight swords on his back, but looked toward Du Gu Yan, seeing that this girl indeed wore a worried expression.

A flicker of warmth passed through his eyes; Gu Xuan stood up, lightly patted the nonexistent dust on his buttocks, and the eight swords on his back retracted like a sheath into the spinal connection.

He had completely mastered this external soul bone and even gave it a resounding name—Sword Dragon Eight Wings!

"I'm fine, this is my external soul bone." Gu Xuan whispered.

But just a few short words like that naturally couldn't dispel Du Gu Yan and Ning Rongrong's worries.

So Gu Xuan then began to explain to the two women; although Du Gu Yan knew the origin of this external soul bone, seeing a person with eight swords sprouting from their back made anyone think they were a servant.

"Don't worry about me; I not only fully mastered Sword Dragon Eight Wings, but my soul power also broke through from level thirty-eight to forty, and with just one soul ring I can break through to Soul Ancestor."

Hearing Gu Xuan's words, the worry on Du Gu Yan's face gradually faded, and she asked, "Why does Sword Dragon Eight Wings on you feel completely natural? How did you master it? This is produced from that ninety-thousand-year Sword Wing Demon Dragon."

Facing Du Gu Yan's doubts, Gu Xuan said, "First give me something to eat, then I'll slowly explain to you two."
