Chapter 212: Dragon Pellet and 100,000-year Dragon Blood Lingzhi

When he opened his eyes, Tang Wulin discovered he had returned to that black space again.

He was surprised to find that six of the eighteen seals floating in the air had already been unlocked, and the fifth and sixth seals had been broken at some point.

At that moment, an elderly voice came from behind him.

"I have guessed many times what secret you, Wulin, have inside your body, but I never expected it to be like this."

Tang Wulin's body trembled, and he quickly turned his head.

"Teacher!"

Behind him, Mu En's apparition actually appeared inside this space that only he and Old Tang could enter.

Mu En smiled faintly.

"Don't get excited; this is merely a remnant soul I left behind, and it will soon dissipate."

……

Tang Wulin's face instantly darkened.

He truly did not want Mu En to die just like that.

Seeing this, Mu En gave a wry smile.

"Don't make that face; even if this incarnation of me dissipates, the real me hasn't completely died yet."

Tang Wulin stared for a moment, then was overjoyed.

"What do you mean?"

Mu En smiled and explained: "As the Sea God Pavilion Master, I am qualified to have my soul reside in the Golden Ancient Tree. Originally, only past Sea God Pavilion Masters could know this, but since you, Wulin, are actually the next-next Sea God Pavilion Master, you also have the qualification to know."

——

Tang Wulin found it hard to describe his current mood.

Amidst great joy and sorrow, he only felt a sigh of relief, involuntarily showing a half-crying, half-laughing expression, and myriad words ultimately condensed into a single sentence.

"Great."

Smiling at him, Mu En said: "Wulin, do you know what my mission is for this remnant soul?"

"Help me break through the fifth and sixth seals?"

Tang Wulin guessed instinctively.

After all, the biggest change he currently sees is that the fifth and sixth seals have been unlocked.

Mu En shook his head and said gently:

"I said earlier that I didn't know you had such seals inside your body, so this is merely a side effect of helping you break through."

By the way……

Tang Wulin's mouth twitched involuntarily.

Breaking through two seals in a row, and it's just called 'by the way'?

Mu En smiled faintly.

"Don't doubt it; do you remember the golden light I shot into your body before I died? That is something called a Dragon Pellet."

"Dragon Pellet?"

Tang Wulin repeated it instinctively, his eyes full of confusion.

Mu En nodded heavily. "Yes, Dragon Pellet, it is the most precious thing on a dragon's body; if successfully absorbed, even an ordinary person will possess a body no inferior to a dragon's—it can be said to be the ultimate treasure among treasures."

"Back then I obtained it in a secret realm; to absorb it, I spent decades smoothing its edges. After finishing my battle with my brother, the Immortal Poisoner—actually his sibling Poison Must Die—I thought I could absorb it, but I didn't expect it to still contain hostile energy, which directly devastated me, leading to the half-dead state you see now."

Saying this, he sighed.

"Although this Dragon Pellet harmed me greatly, as an exchange, the hostile energy within it has finally been completely cleared by me, turning it into a treasure anyone can absorb. Originally I planned to give it to Bei Bei to absorb, but after meeting you I changed my mind and decided to give it to you so you can grow quickly."

With his hands behind his back, he said lightly: "Of course, even though the hostile energy has been cleared, the Dragon Pellet is not easy to absorb; it requires meeting many harsh conditions. So to let you absorb it now, I used a 100,000-year-grade Dragon Blood Lingzhi of immortal quality as the main ingredient, and dozens of related herbs as primers, to help you successfully absorb it."

"However, it seems that due to the immense energy contained within, your fifth and sixth seals were broken as a side effect, but don't worry—after this, your subsequent seals will become even more stable, and you can break through whenever you want."

……

Tang Wulin was already stunned stupid.

He hadn't forgotten the Dragon Blood Lingzhi of immortal quality that was the finale at the Starlight Auction; back then he had really wanted it, but lacking funds, he could only watch as others bought it, never expecting it to end up in Mu En's hands.

Mu En chuckled lightly and said: "However, absorbing so many good things isn't without drawbacks; your progress is too fast, which may cause instability in your realm. I suggest you don't rush to level up; spend some time consolidating this progress, which is more important than anything else. I suggest you only continue leveling after you have fully integrated your abilities, otherwise you won't get far in the future."

"Teacher..."

Looking at Mu En's smiling face, Tang Wulin only felt his throat tighten.

This elderly elder had, at some point, become his dearest kin in his heart; he truly exhausted everything he had to promote the younger generation's growth.

Mu En walked up to him and gently ruffled his hair.

"Silly child, there is no banquet that never ends; I believe you can understand this. You may go now; don't linger over me, a dead person. You won't forget that there are people waiting for you outside, right? She doesn't understand this principle."

Upon hearing Mu En's words, Tang Wulin's heart clenched, and he instantly understood the meaning of Mu En's words.

He stepped back a step, knelt on the ground, and kowtowed several times to Mu En, saying:

"Teacher, thank you. One day as a teacher, a father for life; I will never forget you."

Mu En smiled and nodded.

"Mm, I believe you. Go forth, lead the tide of the entire era, and leave your legend on the continent."

"Yes."

Tang Wulin responded with an affirmation, stood up, took a deep breath, and controlled his consciousness to leave that black space.

After waking, he found himself lying on his bed in his room; the room had been cleaned very neatly, but from some details one could tell that a long time had passed.

Tang Wulin tried moving his body a bit, then couldn't help but frown.

It wasn't that his body felt uncomfortable; rather, the opposite.

He now only feels his body brimming with power; even a casual movement can unleash force stronger than his previous full effort, leaving him completely unable to control his body.

Now he finally understood why Mu En had told him to fully digest this growth before continuing his cultivation.

If one disregards the advice of someone who is moving forward, big problems are likely to occur.

But he set his own affairs aside for the moment; what he urgently wanted to know now was someone else's situation.

He pushed open the door and walked out of the room; Tang Wulin walked down the stairs step by step.

On the first floor of the Sea God Pavilion, he saw a familiar figure.

Bei Bei saw Tang Wulin, his eyes widened in surprise and delight as he said, "Wulin, you're awake? Great, this way you still have time to see Yutong off."
