Chapter 95

But right now Gu Xuan definitely cannot hunt that spatial demon dragon, because Ning Fengzhi and the others haven't returned to the Seven Treasure Glazed Sect, so Gu Rong naturally can't leave the sect, and he isn't in a hurry for the moment.

Nevertheless, Gu Xuan immediately wrote a letter back to the Seven Treasure Glazed Sect and handed it to Gu Rong, detailing his own situation and his desire for the fourth Soul Ring to absorb that spatial demon dragon, then went to the outskirts of Sunset Forest to give it to the stationed Seven Treasure Glazed Sect disciples.

At the same time Gu Xuan also needs to arrange for Yang Wudi to settle in Sunset Forest, because Yang Wudi indeed cultivates here and can manage the Binghuo Liangyi Yan well.

But they must wait for the three newly promoted Titled Douluo on the left wing to return, and the Binghuo Liangyi Yan also needs someone to be stationed.

After completing all this, Gu Xuan went to the dragon blood pool; now the dragon egg has begun absorbing dragon blood, and the fresh blood of two ninety‑thousand‑year‑old dragons is an absolute tonic for this egg.

Moreover, it also contains its father's entire essence blood and all his refined essence; Gu Xuan can almost be certain that if this dragon egg hatches successfully, its future achievements will surpass the Sword‑Wing Demon Dragon hunted by Mihe's Ninth Soul Ring.

And after seven days, even Gu Xuan can clearly feel that the life signs inside the dragon egg have become stronger and more robust.

Watching the dragon blood being gradually absorbed by the egg, Gu Xuan's eyes suddenly brightened; he sliced a small cut on his finger, intending to drop a drop of his own essence blood onto the dragon egg.

However, just as Gu Xuan made the cut, before the blood could flow out it already scabbed over and healed.

This scene left Gu Xuan both laughing and crying; his healing ability is indeed strong, but he didn't expect it to make him feel so helpless.

Then he sliced his finger again, using soul power to block the wound's healing, dropped a drop of blood onto the dragon egg, and only after that removed the soul power barrier, allowing the wound to recover.

When that drop of essence blood flowed out, Gu Xuan felt little, but the drop quickly merged into the dragon egg, which gave a slight tremor.

Gu Xuan didn't know whether this would cause the dragon egg to recognize a master upon hatching, but having seen protagonists do this in novels, he simply decided to try it—what if it works?

Moreover, he does this because he has now merged with the Sword Dragon Eight Wings and inherits the Ice‑Fire Dragon King's lineage, making him a humanoid dragon‑race king; perhaps this can directly subjugate the dragon egg.

In short, regardless of the outcome, having tried there is a sliver of hope for success; after all, if it does succeed, Gu Xuan only gains and never loses.

A drop of essence blood is replenished in no time.

After finishing these tasks, Gu Xuan began refining pills again; indeed, he also wants to refine pills, but these cannot compare to the Barrier‑Breaking Pill and Soul‑Ascending Pill that affect even Titled Douluo.

Because these pills are being refined for Yu Tianheng and a few others, who will become his support in the future, Gu Xuan naturally doesn't want them to fall far behind him.

Now the term has started, and Gu Xuan thinks of giving them a surprise after returning to the academy.

The pill Gu Xuan refines is called Hun Yuan Dan; its function is to boost soul power and strengthen the foundation, though its effect naturally cannot match pills made from celestial herbs, it is enough to give them an unexpected boost.

Gu Xuan isn't planning to have this group ascend to godhood with him, but in the future they will be an undeniable force; after all, now his relationship with them is settled, and once they inherit their respective families they will be Gu Xuan's most loyal allies.

That's why Gu Xuan won't give them celestial herbs; unless they're his own people, giving away celestial herbs would be giving them away for free.

Refining the pills didn't take Gu Xuan much time; after a day he had completed them.

Du Gu Yan and Ning Rongrong also finished their cultivation and came to find Gu Xuan for fun.

"Xiao Xuan, isn't your Sword Dragon Eight Wings able to fly? How about taking me and Rongrong for a ride?" that was Du Gu Yan's first line.

Hearing that, Gu Xuan didn't answer immediately, but looked at Ning Rongrong.

Ning Rongrong at that moment was pursing her lips, looking up at the sky, constantly standing on tiptoes, pretending not to see Gu Xuan.

Gu Xuan, helpless, gave a slight smile and said, "Sure."

Upon hearing that, Du Gu Yan also gave a helpless smile, because during cultivation Ning Rongrong kept bringing up this matter to Du Gu Yan, so there was no choice; she could only speak to Gu Xuan.

Du Gu Yan isn't a fool; she knows Gu Xuan is doing this to avoid suspicion, but Ning Rongrong is just too cute, and that tone makes Du Gu Yan unable to refuse.

Hearing that, Ning Rongrong jumped up and shouted, "Yay! Gu Xuan brother is the best!"

Gu Xuan gave her a puzzled look and said, "Has Second Uncle's old man taken you to play less? You have to play now?"

Ning Rongrong, feeling aggrieved, touched her forehead, her voice sweetly replying, "That's not the same; Sword Grandfather's Seven‑Kill Sword belongs to Sword Grandfather, but I haven't experienced Gu Xuan brother's dragon sword yet."

Gu Xuan gave a helpless smile, let soul power flow to his back, and eight dragon‑patterned swords burst through his body, instantly extending, their wingspan reaching an astonishing six meters.

Under Gu Xuan's control, two of the dragon swords detached from his back and slowly floated to the front of Ning Rongrong and Du Gu Yan.

"Come up." Gu Xuan said softly.

Du Gu Yan and Ning Rongrong each stepped onto a dragon sword; Gu Xuan's left and right hands each held a girl, while the remaining six dragon swords behind him gently swayed, lifting the two girls skyward.

Currently, controlling two detached dragon swords is his limit; although his mental power has greatly increased, his control over flying swords still requires long practice.

After playing above the Binghuo Liangyi Yan for about half an hour, Gu Xuan finally set Ning Rongrong and Du Gu Yan down.

Having experienced a different kind of flight, Ning Rongrong felt a small satisfaction; after eating, she went back to cultivate with Du Gu Yan.

Gu Xuan wasn't in a hurry to cultivate; after all, it was only evening. After sending Du Gu Yan and Ning Rongrong back to the stone house, Gu Xuan practiced controlling his flying swords himself.

If he can simultaneously wield eight dragon swords against an opponent, Gu Xuan could become a swordsman.

Without going into details, in the original work, Second Uncle Chen Xin is unquestionably the most handsome on the continent, and his many rescue scenes have earned countless people reverent worship.

In the next few days, Gu Xuan practiced flying swords by day and cultivated soul power by night; on the third day, a messenger arrived with a letter.

Ning Fengzhi and Chen Xin have returned to the sect…
