Chapter 886: The Dragon Tooth Spirit Marrow Secured
"You brat, quite sharp, actually knowing how to use the 'Dragon Fire Sword Qi' to trigger the 'Star River Sword Intent'." As Li Luo emerged from the Fire Cover space, Li Li Jingzhe's voice came from before him.
Li Luo raised his head and saw Li Li Jingzhe fishing in the stone pavilion ahead, casting a look of interest.
Hearing this, Li Luo's face was also filled with surprise; regarding the appearance of the 'Star River Sword Intent', this time was truly an unexpected joy. The collection in just a single hour previously had effects stronger than several days in the past.
After some cultivation, the 'Star River Sword Intent' collected in his body had already reached five, which was nearly a month's worth of results, but now in just a single hour, two more were added to him; how could this not make Li Luo overjoyed?
At this efficiency, it would not take long before the 'Star River Sword Intent' in his body reached the required scale; if he could also get the 'Dragon Tooth Spirit Marrow', he could then begin cultivating the 'Myriad Forms Dragon Tooth Sword Array'.
And thinking of this so-called 'Peerless Embryo Art', Li Luo's heart surged with excitement.
If this art could be perfected, it would surely become his most powerful trump card.
At this moment, a figure suddenly flashed out beside Li Luo; it turned out that Li Li Lingjing had also been kicked out of the Fire Cover space.
Li Li Lingjing looked somewhat wretched now, her skin covered in burns, her whole body radiating a scorching, blazing aura, like a large shrimp that had been deep-fried in oil several times.
"Are you alright?" Li Luo asked with concern.
Li Li Lingjing's situation was even worse than his, because the 'Dragon Fire Sword Qi' she had suffered on her side was obviously more ferocious.
Li Li Lingjing's slender body trembled slightly; at this time, scorching sword qi still lingered and raged within her body, with intense pain spreading through her, but she still gritted her teeth and forced herself to hold on, then showed a forced smile on her somewhat pale, beautiful face towards Li Luo.
"N-no, it's fine." she said.
Li Li Jingzhe glanced at her and said, "The alien aura within your body has weakened somewhat; it seems the 'Dragon Fire Sword Qi' has some effect, but that 'Eroding Spirit True Demon' is too deeply entangled with yourself, so it can only be ground away slowly."
"For the next month, you will need to undergo the tempering of the 'Dragon Fire Sword Qi' every day; only then might it be cleared."
Li Li Lingjing bit her silver teeth lightly, bowed to Li Li Jingzhe and said, "Thank you, Patriarch. I will definitely persist!"
Li Li Jingzhe nodded slightly; he had seen Li Li Lingjing's performance in the Fire Cover clearly. Such a resilient state of mind was even superior to those geniuses within the Five Heavenly Dragon Guards.
Then Li Li Jingzhe looked at Li Luo again: "The struggle for the Dragon Head is about a month away. During this time, you also need to set aside an hour every day to come here and cultivate. You have now reached the peak of the Fiery Body Realm, and your foundation is quite solid; you can consider tempering the Fiery Qi."
Li Luo agreed eagerly this time, with none of the previous anxiety, after all, the benefits this time far exceeded imagination; not only could he temper the Fiery Qi, but most importantly, the collection efficiency of the Star River Sword Intent was greatly enhanced, which was obviously a huge benefit for him.
Compared to such benefits, the pain suffered by the body was hardly worth mentioning.
And he also understood how precious this opportunity was; after all, not everyone could invite a King-level powerhouse to spend time and effort helping them temper themselves.
Seeing this, Li Li Jingzhe flicked his finger, and two beams of light flew towards Li Luo and Li Li Lingjing; inside the beams were jade bottles, from which an extreme cold aura emanated, freezing even the air, causing frost to drift down.
"My 'Dragon Fire Sword Qi' is extremely domineering; you undergo tempering within it, and this sword qi will remain in your flesh and blood, gradually forming fire poison. If it accumulates too much, when you cultivate later, the fire poison will erupt and directly burn you to ashes."
"Inside this jade bottle is 'Cold Marrow Liquid'. Apply it to your body when cultivating after returning; it can help you dissolve the residual Dragon Fire Sword Qi within your body."
Hearing that the aftereffects of this 'Dragon Fire Sword Qi' were so terrible, both Li Luo and Li Li Lingjing felt a chill in their hearts and quickly took the jade bottles.
"Thank you, Patriarch! Such great kindness, Li Lingjing will surely keep in mind." Li Li Lingjing's expression was respectful, and she performed a heavy bow.
Li Li Jingzhe not only personally acted to help purify the Eroding Spirit True Demon this time, but also prepared medicine to dissolve the aftereffects; such treatment, even some Marquis-level powerhouses might not receive.
Li Li Jingzhe glanced at her and said, "Since my grandson wants to protect you, I naturally must show him face."
The implication was obviously pushing Li Li Lingjing's gratitude towards Li Luo.
Li Li Lingjing also understood the hint, turned around, and bowed gracefully to Li Luo, sincerely saying, "Cousin Li Luo's great kindness, I have nothing to repay it with; in the future, if there is any need, Li Lingjing will certainly not refuse."
Li Luo smiled helplessly and said, "It is just fulfilling our promise. Additionally, I also hope that in the future, our Dragon Tooth Branch can have another pillar of strength."
Li Li Lingjing's moth eyebrows relaxed, revealing a bright and brilliant smile.
"Then thank you, Cousin Li Luo, for your trust; I will work hard for this."
At this moment, Li Li Jingzhe also waved his hand and continued to focus on fishing.
Li Luo and Li Li Lingjing no longer disturbed him, bowed, turned around, and left.
Outside that courtyard, they met the anxiously waiting Li Li Rouyun and Li Feng; seeing that Li Li Lingjing had no major injuries, the two also put down the hearts they had been holding up, especially after learning that Li Li Jingzhe ordered Li Li Lingjing to come here daily to temper her body with the 'Dragon Fire Sword Qi', they sighed with even greater relief.
It seemed that with the Patriarch's intervention, Li Li Lingjing would be completely recovered before long.
In between, Li Li Rouyun expressed gratitude to Li Luo again; this time, if not for Li Luo's face, it might not have been possible to truly invite the Patriarch to act personally; most likely, the matter would have been delegated, and if the problem was difficult to solve then, it would have attracted the Dragon Tooth Branch Adjudication Court, making Li Li Lingjing's situation troublesome again.
Li Luo exchanged a few polite words, agreed on the time to come here tomorrow, then dragged his exhausted body back to the small building.
In the following days, besides finishing his own cultivation and the routine hole-clearing of the Green Mist Flag, Li Luo would go to the lakeside courtyard at fixed times to undergo the Fire Cover's 'Dragon Fire Sword Qi' tempering together with Li Li Lingjing.
Although every day his own body was beaten by that terrifying 'Dragon Fire Sword Qi' until he was skinless and boneless, in unbearable pain, the harvest gained from such pain made Li Luo unable to contain his joy.
Although the tempering of the Fiery Qi still required the accumulation of time, the 'Star River Sword Intent' added to his body every day was a tangible benefit.
In just ten days, the Star River Sword Intent in Li Luo's body reached the number of fifty!
Li Luo sensed the fifty flowing Star River Sword Intent within his body; this quantity was already enough to condense the first Dragon Tooth Sword. At present, everything just awaited the acquisition of the Dragon Tooth Spirit Marrow.
And Li Luo's wait yielded results the very next day.
When he arrived at the lakeside courtyard again, Li Li Jingzhe casually tossed something over; it was a cup seemingly made of bone and teeth, with energy runes flowing outside the cup, sealing the cup's mouth.
Li Luo had a guess in his heart and immediately looked excitedly into the cup; then he saw, inside that cup, two drops of deep golden mysterious liquid, like two golden koi fish, constantly swimming within, with amazing vitality and mysterious energy fluctuations surging out in waves, and vaguely, it seemed to carry the sound of dragon roars.
Li Li Jingzhe looked at the excited Li Luo, smiled faintly, and said, "Your Mi Fa still had some effect; from the five Dragon Teeth, two drops of Dragon Tooth Spirit Marrow were cultivated."
What he did not say was that to cultivate these two drops of Dragon Tooth Spirit Marrow, he replaced some materials in that Mi Fa with some high-grade items, which finally achieved such an effect.
Li Luo's face was filled with ecstasy, his hand tightly gripping the cup, his heart surging.
The Dragon Tooth Spirit Marrow was finally in hand; then the 'Myriad Forms Dragon Tooth Sword Array' he had longed for could finally begin cultivation.
