Chapter 126: Dragon Absorption Method
"The path of Immortal Cultivation begins with the spirit.
Through Body Refining and Foundation Establishment, the physique grows stronger and the essence and Qi flourish."
"Qi flows from the dantian, the spirit grows of its own accord..."
Lin Chao read the books earnestly, learning about the path of Immortal Cultivation.
"Indeed, a complete system is far more perfect and powerful than the Spirit Martial Artist path I explored on my own."
"To perform Body Refining, one must first achieve Enlightenment.
Is this a Spirit Awakening Pill?"
In Lin Chao's Storage Ring, there were quite a few medicinal pills.
Just the Spirit Awakening Pills alone numbered a hundred.
"Are you preparing to cultivate?" the voice of the butterfly bird came; its form shrank and it landed on Lin Chao's shoulder.
"Yes," Lin Chao nodded.
He also wanted to witness the splendor of the world of Immortal Cultivation.
"Are you going to cultivate like the cultivators outside?"
"Yes."
"That is too slow; I estimate it would take you several thousand years to become even a little bit powerful."
"Do you have a way to become powerful quickly?" Lin Chao looked at the butterfly bird.
As of now, he could not discern the strength of the butterfly bird at all.
However, it was clear that the Wusheng Well was very unusual.
For the butterfly bird to have survived inside for so many years, it was definitely a powerhouse, perhaps even an old monster.
"I do not," the butterfly bird shook its head.
"Then how did you become strong?"
"When that big guy became strong, I naturally became strong.
After all, I am a bead inside its body."
"Then how did it become strong?" Lin Chao grew curious.
He came from the Xiang Family, which was a family of Dragon Blood Cultivators.
It could be said that the Dragon Blood granted him the possibility of reaching higher realms.
The big guy the butterfly bird spoke of might be a legendary true dragon.
The cultivation method of a true dragon must certainly be more effective.
"Eating."
"Eating?"
"Yes, it ate everything, and it loved eating deer antlers the most, eventually becoming exceptionally powerful.
It could be said that at the time, almost no one could defeat it."
Lin Chao fell silent.
Eating to become stronger was indeed a method of cultivation.
But it might not necessarily be suitable for him.
"Of course, you still have to cultivate; eating just increases the speed of your cultivation."
"Indeed."
If one could become strong just by eating, then cultivation would be far too simple.
"It had a set of techniques for eating, which I have named the Dragon Absorption Method.
By eating according to this technique, you can quickly absorb the energy within food and convert it into your own Spirit Power."
The butterfly bird said excitedly: "I will teach it to you."
A feather fell from the butterfly bird's body and hovered before Lin Chao's brow.
Instantly, countless pieces of information flooded into Lin Chao's mind.
"This technique should be quite difficult; given your comprehension, I estimate it will take you several decades to reach the Beginner level," the butterfly bird said from the side.
Several decades, to it, was nothing more than a blink of an eye.
Time, to it, was not long.
"Is that so?" Lin Chao accepted the Dragon Absorption Method, feeling only its profoundness and power.
After all, he had already spent several years reading books in the Wusheng Well.
Coupled with the knowledge he had mastered over hundreds of years across his previous worlds.
It could be said that his comprehension had already reached a terrifying realm.
With the Scholar's Heart talent, the more knowledge one masters, the higher one's comprehension becomes.
If it were an ordinary mortal, they might only live for a few decades and have limited knowledge.
Lin Chao was different; he reincarnated continuously and had experienced many worlds.
The knowledge he mastered was naturally superior.
Knowledge could also be called information.
Therefore, when he obtained the Dragon Absorption Method, it did not take long for Lin Chao to reach the Beginner level.
A strange ripple emanated from Lin Chao's body.
The butterfly bird was slightly stunned, looking at Lin Chao: "Are you sure you are only a few years old?"
Lin Chao smiled.
"I suspect you are lying about your age; you might even be old enough to be my father."
"Haha." Lin Chao laughed loudly.
He took out the food from his Storage Ring and immediately began to eat it according to the Dragon Absorption Method.
He had another talent, which was being a Glutton.
Therefore, no matter how much he ate, he would never feel full.
Very quickly, Lin Chao finished the food using the Dragon Absorption Method.
He felt that he had indeed made progress on the path of Body Refining.
However, there was still a long way to go.
"It seems it will take a few more years to successfully complete Body Refining."
"The food you are eating has too little energy," the Butterfly Bird shook its head. "I will go and get that big guy's food for you to eat."
"He still has food here?"
"Naturally," the Butterfly Bird said, sounding a bit lacking in confidence.
"Is it really okay for us to eat its food?" Lin Chao hesitated for a moment.
That was a True Dragon, after all.
Rumor had it that dragons were all very stingy.
If he ate the True Dragon's food and it came back to find trouble with him, given his current strength, he probably wouldn't be able to defeat a dragon.
A flash of sadness crossed the Butterfly Bird's eyes: "It was a big fool, and it is already dead."
For some reason, a trace of inexplicable sadness also welled up in Lin Chao's heart.
Soon, the Butterfly Bird returned carrying a large pile of bones.
These bones were crystal clear, and with Lin Chao's discernment, he couldn't tell what kind of bones they were.
"Eat these?" Lin Chao saw that there were still tooth marks on these bones.
Clearly, these were leftovers from that True Dragon.
"Of course, are you actually turning your nose up at leftovers from the big guy?"
"No," Lin Chao shook his head.
Even the leftovers of a True Dragon were better than what they had been eating.
One need only look at the modern city, where homeless people scavenge for food in the trash heaps of wealthy districts.
The food discarded by the rich was more precious than the best food a homeless person could ever get.
Not to mention, "Behind the vermilion gates, meat and wine go to waste; out on the road, there are bones of the frozen dead."
"How do I eat this?" Lin Chao was very skeptical; his Dragon Absorption Method couldn't possibly consume this.
"Boil a big bone soup!" the Butterfly Bird said, eager to try. "I can boil these bones until they completely dissolve, and you can just drink the Water."
"There are still many bones like these in the Wusheng Well.
Even if you ate for thousands of years, you wouldn't finish them," the Butterfly Bird said, eager to try.
"Thank you," Lin Chao said, expressing his thanks.
He felt a sense of gratitude toward the Butterfly Bird.
If not for the Butterfly Bird, he would have died long ago.
"No need to say thank you, just do me a favor in the future," the Butterfly Bird said, eyes wide as it looked at Lin Chao.
"What favor?" Lin Chao asked.
"In the future, when you transform into a dragon, can you turn into the appearance of that big guy?
I miss it a little," the Butterfly Bird's voice carried a hint of desolation.
"Alright." Lin Chao felt a little strange, but without hesitation, he agreed to the Butterfly Bird.
Not long after, inside the Wusheng Well.
A large pot was set up, and the bones were dissolved into the Water.
A fragrance continuously permeated the air, the bones melted away, and a large pot of soup appeared before Lin Chao.
"Drink quickly," the Butterfly Bird urged.
"I'm afraid if I drink it now, it will scald me to death."
Lin Chao smiled, waited for the bone soup to cool down a bit, and began to drink it using the Dragon Absorption Method.
Suddenly, a surging wave of energy entered Lin Chao's body.
He felt his body filled with energy.
After just one sip, he felt somewhat full, and his body began to heat up.
"As expected of a True Dragon's food, it contains too much energy."
Fortunately, Lin Chao had the Dragon Absorption Method and the Glutton talent.
Soon, the entire pot of soup was finished by Lin Chao.
Body Refining First Layer!
Body Refining Second Layer!
Body Refining Third Layer!
Lin Chao broke through three layers in a row, reaching the Body Refining Third Layer.
Beside him, the Butterfly Bird looked at Lin Chao, looking suspicious: "Do you have a Storage Ring in your stomach too?"
That large pot was big enough to fit Lin Chao inside to be stewed.
Yet, with such a small body, Lin Chao had completely finished the large pot of soup.
Time flew by.
Lin Chao was also constantly growing.
The butterfly bird brews soup for Lin Chao every day, and Lin Chao's physique is constantly strengthening.
His strength is also growing rapidly.
At only ten years old, he has already cultivated a Golden Body.
This is already extremely terrifying.
One must know, the realm of Golden Body, if placed in some weak Immortal Cultivation Gate, is enough to be called king or ancestor.
And Lin Chao is only ten years old.
Dragon King Ridge, Xiang Family.
The Xiang Family ancestor hunches his body, coughing incessantly.
Inside the room, seven people are sitting.
These seven people are all powerhouses of Medicine Blood State, their strength not inferior to the Xiang Family ancestor.
The seven of them are known as the Seven Demon Sages of Medicine Blood, and are the top-tier powerhouses of Medicine Blood State.
At this moment, the seven have somewhat grave expressions.
The Xiang Family ancestor's expression is complex: "Dongsheng State and Aurora State have gone to war."
"Sigh." The other seven let out sighs.
Among them, a burly old man with bull horns growing from his head has eyes full of anger: "Three months ago, an edict descended from the sky; that Ghost Immortal said he wanted to watch the two states fall into chaotic war."
"In the great war between the two states, many Great Heavenly Venerable level powerhouses have already fallen."
Great Heavenly Venerable powerhouses, even placed within their own family sects, are absolute powerhouses.
"What is the end to days like these?"
The eight people present do not have very good tones.
"The sect where the Seven Fragrances Empress resided is located in Aurora State," the Xiang Family ancestor sighs, his voice desolate.
He naturally knows that the Ghost Immortal is punishing the world.
If the world dares to challenge the Ghost Immortal, then the Ghost Immortal uses the flames of war between the two states to warn the world.
"The Seven Fragrances Empress was all alone; it seems only one person survived in her family.
That person is a young child, and rumor has it that he possesses the secret obtained when the Seven Fragrances Empress challenged the Gatekeeper."
"This person must not fall into the hands of the Ghost Immortal," the Xiang Family ancestor says, his eyes flashing with a fierce glint.
"In a few days, the seven of us will take a trip to Aurora State," the burly old man with bull horns says.
The other six nod one after another.
Just at this moment, a Chong Tong old man looks at the Xiang Family ancestor: "Old fellow, you called us here, it shouldn't just be to say these things, right?"
The other six also look at the Xiang Family ancestor, their eyes flickering.
The eight of them are almost the highest controllers of Medicine Blood State.
"The Tulu Ancient Book prophesied that in troubled times, a Child of Destiny shall descend into the world," the Xiang Family ancestor says slowly.
"Hmm," the Chong Tong old man says, "In these years, top-tier geniuses have sprung up like bamboo shoots after rain.
The Seven Fragrances Empress was someone rumored to have the destiny of a Child of Destiny."
A Child of Destiny is not truly destined by heaven.
After all, that Ghost Immortal is an existence capable of toying with destiny.
In the eyes of these powerhouses, a Child of Destiny is simply a powerhouse with peerless talent and extraordinary luck.
In order to deal with the Ghost Immortal, Jiuzhou has been secretly cultivating many Children of Destiny.
These so-called Children of Destiny will be cultivated with priority.
Eventually, spending over a thousand years, they become supreme powerhouses.
"Our Xiang Family seems to have also produced a descendant who can be treated as a Child of Destiny."
"What?"
The other seven are greatly alarmed, then shocked.
For so many years in Medicine Blood State, almost no top-tier geniuses have appeared.
The young generation is failing to bridge the gap.
"Could it be the one who was thrown into the Wusheng Well many times?" the burly old man with bull horns on his head realizes in an instant.
