Chapter 1194
In the cultivation chamber, Li Luo opened his eyes, his pupils seeming to ripple with layers of bright water-light at this moment, making his eyeballs like gemstones, quite dazzling.
After a few breaths, the water-light gradually subsided.
Li Luo extended his palm, feeling the water-attribute energy of heaven and earth around him flowing joyfully, continuously surging into his body.
This affinity for water-attribute energy was clearly a step up from before.
"Lower Ninth Grade Waterlight Affinity."
"Upper Eighth Grade Wood-Earth Affinity."
Li Luo sensed his internal affinity grades, and couldn't help but show a hint of surprise on his face, because the original Lower Eighth Grade Wood-Earth Affinity had also received an upgrade.
Previously, when the Waterlight Affinity rose to Lower Ninth Grade, Li Luo could feel that the "Creation Divine Elixir" still retained some medicinal potency, but this portion was insufficient to elevate Lower Ninth Grade to Middle Ninth Grade, so he poured it into the Wood-Earth Affinity Palace.
As a result, the Lower Eighth Grade Wood-Earth Affinity evolved by a small step.
Thus, his three affinities are now Lower Ninth Grade Waterlight Affinity, Upper Eighth Grade Wood-Earth Affinity, and Upper Seventh Grade Dragon-Thunder Affinity.
In terms of configuration, it is absolutely luxurious, after all, each affinity palace is a dual-affinity of primary and secondary, only because there is a more monstrous Jiang Qinge beside him, making the impact slightly less striking.
If Li Luo later successfully breaks through to Marquis Realm, opening a fourth affinity palace, he would very likely possess four palaces and eight affinities.
This is absolutely an astonishing matter.
Throughout ancient and modern times, those who can gather such a quantity of affinities within one body seem exceedingly rare.
After carefully sensing his internal affinities, Li Luo was also pleasantly surprised to find that his own affinity power had also received a considerable increase along with the affinity advancement.
"Now my Heavenly Affinity Chart should reach six thousand zhang."
Li Luo was overjoyed; at present, he is truly getting closer and closer to that long-desired Marquis Realm.
"This Creation Divine Elixir is truly a good thing."
Li Luo sighed, but unfortunately he only obtained one portion of this "Creation Divine Elixir," and he doesn't know whether there is more of it in the relics of the Wuxiang Holy Sect.
After personally tasting the potent effects of this divine object, Li Luo is obviously somewhat addicted to its marrow.
After all, this step-by-step affinity advancement truly gives one the feeling of exhausting oneself chasing a distant mountain, Li Luo, due to the Empty Affinity, can still accumulate day by day, but ordinary people absorbing spiritual water strange light with too many impurities will instead cause their affinity palaces to seal shut, making further evolution difficult.
Whereas the Creation Divine Elixir can truly achieve instant success.
As Li Luo was thinking, the void in the cultivation chamber fluctuated, and Li Jingzhe's figure appeared, he glanced at the golden cauldron and asked: "This item is what you obtained from the Spirit Affinity Cave Heaven, right?"
Li Luo hurriedly rose, smiling and nodding.
"You are quite fortunate; this item is quite profound, sharing the same marvel as spiritual water strange light, the Wuxiang Holy Sect, worthy of having once suppressed an era as a super sect, actually managed to forge another path, opening another road for affinity evolution." Li Jingzhe sighed.
"Unfortunately, there is only this much." Li Luo smacked his lips, saying.
Li Jingzhe amusedly shook his head; such items, even within the Wuxiang Holy Sect, are considered extremely precious, and now being able to obtain even a bit is already fortune favoring him, yet this brat still complains it's not enough.
"Now, what grades are your three affinities?" Li Jingzhe asked.
"Lower Ninth Grade Waterlight Affinity, Upper Eighth Grade Wood-Earth Affinity, Upper Seventh Grade Dragon-Thunder Affinity." Li Luo replied honestly.
"Three palaces, six affinities... truly remarkable."
Li Jingzhe sighed again; six affinities, something even many King-level powerhouses cannot achieve, yet it appears on the body of Li Luo, who has not yet reached Marquis Realm.
Moreover, Li Luo possesses the "Dragon Seed True Pill"; activating it can elevate his Dragon Affinity to Ninth Grade, so if Li Luo truly goes all out, his configuration will reach an astonishing level.
In a certain sense, it is not inferior to Jiang Qinge's three Ninth Grade Bright Affinities.
"That Dragon Seed True Pill, how many times have you used it already?" Li Jingzhe asked.
Li Luo nodded repeatedly; during this time in the Yuan Element Ancient Academy and Xiao Chen Heaven, he has already used the Dragon Seed True Pill several times, even finally employing "Ascending Dragon."
And the Dragon Seed True Pill is a consumable, so with these repeated uses, Li Luo can feel its power gradually diminishing.
According to Li Luo's estimate, he can at most use "Ascending Dragon" three more times before this Dragon Seed True Pill is completely exhausted.
"Grandfather, how else can this 'Dragon Seed True Pill' be obtained?" Li Luo asked with a grin, the Dragon Seed True Pill's power is not insignificant; after enjoying its benefits, he truly cannot accept losing it in the end.
This would undoubtedly deal a heavy blow to Li Luo's combat power.
Li Jingzhe said: "After using the Dragon Seed True Pill once, its efficacy is greatly reduced, so even if you are given a second one later, it won't have the current effect."
"Ah?"
Li Luo was instantly dumbfounded; does this Dragon Seed True Pill still have such side effects?!
"Then what should I do? I still want to experience Ninth Grade Dragon Affinity a bit more." Li Luo asked unwillingly.
Li Jingzhe gave a light chuckle and said: "What is there to be reluctant about? Although the Dragon Seed True Pill is strong, it is ultimately just something refined using the power of the 'Dragon Holy Seed'; after this object loses its function, you can set your sights higher."
Li Luo instantly understood, ecstatically exclaiming: "I can obtain the 'Dragon Holy Seed'?!"
This so-called "Holy Seed" is the foundation of the major top powers in heaven and earth; Lü Qinger in the Golden Dragon Treasure House has one called the "Ice Holy Seed," and our Li Tianwang lineage is precisely that "Dragon Holy Seed."
Although Li Luo still doesn't know what marvels this "Holy Seed" possesses, just seeing how formidable the "Dragon Seed True Pill" is, the true "Holy Seed" must surely possess something beyond imagination.
According to Li Luo's speculation, it might even be able to rival "King-level power" as a strategic asset; otherwise, how could it serve as the foundation of a Tianwang-level power?
Li Jingzhe laughed helplessly, saying: "You're dreaming too big; the true 'Dragon Holy Seed,' our entire Li Tianwang lineage's accumulation over long years amounts to only one."
Li Luo pouted disappointedly.
"The inheritance of the 'Dragon Holy Seed' is extremely strict, and moreover, your current strength is too low, making you unsuitable for it, but our Li Tianwang lineage, besides that one true 'Dragon Holy Seed,' also has three failed products, which we call 'Little Holy Seeds.'"
"Perhaps you still have a chance with this." Li Jingzhe said.
"'Little Holy Seed'?" Li Luo blinked, curiously asking: "What is its use?"
"Actually, its effect is similar to that of the Dragon Seed True Pill, but of a higher order."
"For example, Ascending Dragon: the Dragon Seed True Pill can only temporarily raise one's Dragon Affinity to Lower Ninth Grade, but this 'Little Holy Seed' can raise it to Middle Ninth Grade."
"Moreover, inside the 'Little Holy Seed,' the ancestors sealed a 'Heaven-Mandate Level' Marquis Technique; once refined, one naturally acquires this technique without needing personal arduous cultivation and comprehension."
"Furthermore, the 'Little Holy Seed' itself contains immense power, so you can treat it as the ultimate Marquis Treasure, with boundless might."
"Of course, a reminder: whether it's the 'Little Holy Seed' or the true 'Dragon Holy Seed,' these belong to the foundation of the Li Tianwang lineage, so even if you obtain them, you only have usage rights; when the clan needs them, you must still hand them over."
Li Luo's eyes widened gradually under Li Jingzhe's words; Middle Ninth Grade Dragon Affinity? Plus a Heaven-Mandate Level Marquis Technique requiring no arduous cultivation? Himself still counts as a top-tier Marquis Treasure?!
No wonder it can become the treasure symbolizing the foundation of a Tianwang-level power.
As for the final reminder, it doesn't matter anymore.
Li Luo wiped away the nonexistent saliva at the corner of his mouth, trembling, and said: "Grandfather, just tell me directly how to obtain it."
Li Jingzhe's stern face showed a hint of a smile as he said: "It's not difficult, really. According to convention, every past 'Great Guard Lord' can obtain ten years of usage rights to the 'Little Saint Seed'."
Li Luo blinked: "Great Guard Lord?"
Li Jingzhe said: "The Lord of One Guard is called Guard Lord, and the foremost of the Five Lords—isn't that just the Great Guard Lord?"
Li Luo's mouth twitched—so it means only by becoming the strongest Guard Lord among the Five Guards of the Sky Dragon can one qualify to obtain this so-called 'Little Saint Seed'?
Currently, he can only compete for the position of one of the Four Commanders of the Fangtooth Guard, still far from Guard Lord, let alone Great Guard Lord.
Li Luo gave Li Jingzhe a resentful glance.
Farewell, your pastry is a bit far.
Seeing Li Luo's expression, Li Jingzhe said: "Relying on you is indeed a bit far, but you still have Qinge, don't you? She shouldn't be too far."
Li Luo sternly refused: "Relying on Qinge Jie to obtain the 'Little Saint Seed'—how shameful would that be? Am I really that kind of person?! A man should be self-reliant!"
He pushed the door open without hesitation and stepped out.
Jiang Qinge, who had been waiting outside the cultivation chamber, saw Li Luo come out, was about to speak, but saw his face full of eager smiles and spoke first.
"Qinge Jie, have you been tired these past few days? Let me help you cook something to eat!"
"?"
In Jiang Qinge's clear eyes, a question mark slowly rose.
Has this guy Li Luo messed up his brain from cultivation?
