Chapter 1300: Jade Dragon Pharmacist Phase

The towering, massive Marquis Platform materialized within the pillar of light, immediately erupting with a tremendous suction force that devoured all the energy between heaven and earth, while at the same time solidifying at an astonishing speed.

Joyful voices rang out around the cultivation tower. Li Hongyou was extremely popular within the Dragon Fang Guard, and this was not merely because of shallow reasons like her coldly alluring beauty and excellent figure, but more importantly because of her "Scarlet Heart Zhu Guo Phase," since anyone would want a companion who could dramatically boost their side's strength at critical moments, allowing them to face many dangerous missions with greater ease.

Now that Li Hongyou had successfully broken through to the Marquis Realm, her usefulness would become even more astonishing.

A moment later, as the pillar of light completely dissipated, a crimson, towering Marquis Platform stood before everyone's eyes. Their gazes swept across it and they saw, at the top of the platform, nine giant pillars covered in mysterious patterns standing quietly.

That was unmistakably a Nine-Pillar Marquis Platform!

"A Nine-Pillar Marquis Platform — truly worthy of congratulations."

Li Fuluo sighed with emotion. Being able to forge a Nine-Pillar Marquis Platform already represented the most top-tier foundation and heritage, after all, a Ten-Pillar Golden Platform was the exclusive privilege of unrivaled prodigies, something ordinary top-tier prodigies could never hope for. To reach that step required talent and opportunity beyond the reach of ordinary people.

Li Hongyou's Nine-Pillar Marquis Platform was already enough to look down upon ninety-nine percent of those at the same level.

Li Luo nodded as well. His expectation for Li Hongyou had also been nine pillars, and now she had achieved it perfectly. However, what piqued his curiosity next was what phase nature Li Hongyou's second phase, born from her breakthrough to the Marquis Realm, would take.

And his curiosity was soon satisfied.

As the crimson Nine-Pillar Marquis Platform stood in midair, green light could be seen gushing forth from the nine pillars. The green light gathered in midair, and faintly, the sound of a dragon's cry emerged from within.

Hearing this dragon's cry, Li Luo's gaze sharpened slightly.

This was... a dragon phase? Li Hongyou also carried the bloodline of Li Li Tianwang's lineage, so it was only natural that her second phase would be a dragon phase.

However, there were many varieties of dragon phases, so he wondered which one it was.

Just as Li Luo was guessing, he suddenly smelled a faint medicinal fragrance spreading outside the cultivation tower. Clearly, he wasn't the only one who smelled it — everyone else was deeply inhaling the medicinal fragrance, their faces then filled with a refreshed, invigorated expression.

"What smell is this? So fragrant, and just two breaths of it has even calmed my state of mind," someone said in amazement.

"It seems to be coming from that green light," someone said, pointing at the gathering green light in midair.

Li Luo also discovered the source of the medicinal fragrance, and an odd expression immediately crossed his face. What kind of dragon phase actually came with its own medicinal fragrance?

Under the gaze of all the astonished onlookers, within the dense green light in midair, a massive dragon shadow gradually condensed, and then the dragon shadow slowly became clearer.

The dragon shadow was reflected in Li Luo's eyes. He saw that the dragon was the color of green jade, and unlike other fierce, imposing dragon forms, it instead appeared somewhat slender. Its dragon horns were like jade, flowing with mysterious light.

On its green scales, a kind of pattern faintly emerged. If someone familiar with the properties of elixirs were present, they would recognize that this kind of pattern generally only appeared on high-grade elixirs.

Moreover, as the jade-green dragon shadow fully emerged, the medicinal fragrance immediately grew even denser, enveloping the entire plaza.

Everyone within the medicinal fragrance wore an intoxicated expression.

"This is..." The astonishment on Li Luo's face grew even stronger.

"This is the 'Jade Dragon Pharmacist Phase'!" Li Fuluo beside him picked up the thread, his voice unable to conceal some shock.

"Jade Dragon Pharmacist Phase?" Li Luo was taken aback. To be honest, he didn't think he had ever heard of this kind of dragon phase.

"Among the dragon race, there are many varieties, and this 'Jade Dragon Pharmacist' is an extremely special one. Moreover, it holds an extremely high status within the dragon race, and all dragons hold it in respect."

"This is not because the 'Jade Dragon Pharmacist' possesses any terrifying combat power — on the contrary, it is not adept at warfare and combat. What it excels at, as its name suggests, is healing wounds and repairing foundations for other dragons."

"Furthermore, the Jade Dragon Pharmacist is the only variety among the dragon race that possesses a talent for alchemy. In fact, it is in no way inferior to those human alchemy grandmasters," Li Fuluo said.

"A dragon skilled in alchemy?" Li Luo and Jiang Jiang Qinge exchanged glances. The world was truly vast and full of wonders — they hadn't expected such an extremely special variety to exist among the dragon race.

"Precisely because of the Jade Dragon Pharmacist's unique abilities, it holds an extremely high status and position within the dragon race. After all, even dragons frequently suffer injuries in battle, sometimes even damaging their foundations, and at such times, they must seek the help of the Jade Dragon Pharmacist."

"Beyond that, the Jade Dragon Pharmacist also holds a pivotal position in the alchemy industry, because the Jade Dragon Pharmacist can refine a type of exclusive elixir — one unique to it alone, which no other alchemy grandmaster can produce."

"This kind of elixir is called the 'Nine-Turn Jade Dragon Elixir,'" Li Fuluo continued explaining to the two.

"Nine-Turn Jade Dragon Elixir?" Li Luo and Jiang Jiang Qinge indicated they truly hadn't heard of this elixir.

"The Jade Dragon Elixir is divided into three grades: Three-Turn, Six-Turn, and the highest grade, Nine-Turn. The grade of the Nine-Turn Jade Dragon Elixir reaches the level of a Ninth-Grade Spiritual Elixir, which is the highest quality of elixir."

"It is said that a Six-Turn Jade Dragon Elixir already possesses the miraculous effect of enhancing potential, and can also maintain the indestructibility of the physical body. No matter what kind of devastating attack it suffers, the physical body can remain intact under the elixir's power."

"And the Nine-Turn Jade Dragon Elixir not only enhances potential even more astonishingly, it can even help King-level experts break through barriers," Li Fuluo said with a solemn expression.

Hiss.

Li Luo sucked in a cold breath, his heart filled with shock. This so-called "Jade Dragon Elixir" was actually this terrifying? One had to know that human potential was the most mysterious thing, determining how far one could go on the path of cultivation. Yet potential could only be tapped and consumed — to augment it was extremely difficult. But this Jade Dragon Elixir could actually enhance it — what miraculous efficacy was this?

Moreover, this was only the Six-Turn Jade Dragon Elixir. If it were Nine-Turn, it could even help King-level experts break through barriers?!

Wouldn't this mean even King-level experts would flock to the Nine-Turn Jade Dragon Elixir?

And being able to refine this special top-tier elixir — no wonder the "Jade Dragon Pharmacist" held such a pivotal position within the dragon race.

A Jade Dragon Pharmacist capable of refining "Nine-Turn Jade Dragon Elixirs" was, for the entire dragon race, a clan treasure worth protecting with all their might!

"It is said that the Jade Dragon Pharmacist feeds on all manner of heavenly materials and earthly treasures, never eating ordinary things. Therefore, its blood contains special medicinal power, and refining the Jade Dragon Elixir requires its dragon blood as the main ingredient."

"This time, Li Hongyou has been born with the 'Jade Dragon Pharmacist Phase,' which is an extremely perfect fit for her. She carries the 'Scarlet Heart Zhu Guo Phase,' which can serve as its food to nourish the 'Jade Dragon Pharmacist Phase.' The two complement each other, and perhaps in the future, she too will be able to refine true 'Jade Dragon Elixirs'!" As Li Fuluo said this, his eyes grew excited.

Li Luo was also somewhat moved. Li Hongyou's Scarlet Heart Zhu Guo Phase was already extraordinary, capable of amplifying others' phase power. Now, combined with the healing ability of the "Jade Dragon Pharmacist Phase," it could be said without exaggeration that she would be the king of support from now on.

With her buffs, one could truly go wild without restraint.

Just as Li Luo was thinking this, the jade-green dragon shadow coiled in midair had, along with the Marquis Platform, transformed into a stream of light and fallen into the cultivation tower. A few breaths later, a slender, graceful figure stepped out from within.

It was Li Hongyou.

At this moment, a jade-green luster flowed across her skin, and her body continuously emitted a faint medicinal fragrance that was refreshing and heartening, making one instinctively want to draw closer.

"Senior Sister Hongyou, congratulations on stepping into the Marquis Realm and forging a Nine-Pillar Golden Platform," Li Luo said first, cupping his fists with a smile.

Li Hongyou smiled slightly, her gaze soft as she looked at Li Luo, and said, "It's all thanks to the 'Jade Lotus True Spirit Liquid' you sponsored. Otherwise, I wouldn't have reached this step this time."

Li Luo waved his hand and asked curiously, "What grade is your 'Jade Dragon Pharmacist Phase'?"

Li Hongyou naturally wouldn't hide it from him. She replied with a light laugh, "Slightly lower than the Scarlet Heart Zhu Guo Phase — just Pseudo-Ninth."

Pseudo-Ninth Grade, Jade Dragon Pharmacist Phase.

Li Fuluo beside them said helplessly, "You've been around Li Luo and Jiang Jiang Qinge too long and have become out of touch with reality. You can't just toss around 'Pseudo-Ninth Grade' so casually, alright?"

Pseudo-Ninth Grade was, after all, still Ninth Grade!

This was a grade countless people dreamed of reaching.

And among the many dragon phases, apart from Li Luo's Heavenly Dragon Phase that had just evolved last month, this "Jade Dragon Pharmacist Phase" was already considered the rarest.

Now Li Hongyou carried a Lower Ninth-Grade Scarlet Heart Zhu Guo Phase and a Pseudo-Ninth-Grade Jade Dragon Pharmacist Phase. This luxurious configuration, looking across the entire Five Heavenly Dragon Guards, was probably second only to Jiang Jiang Qinge and Li Luo.

Once the news of Li Hongyou's birth of the Void Ninth Grade "Medicine Master Jade Dragon Physique" spreads, it is likely to cause a sensation among the Five Guards again.

However, with things as they are, Li Zhihuo and Li Hongque probably won't be able to sleep peacefully.

At this thought, Li Foluo could not help but feel a bit of schadenfreude.
