Chapter 147: Treasure Dragon Land

Half a month later.

Yan Buji was in the Lingyu of the Huang Du, following the party of the three factions, heading toward the Treasure Dragon Land that many cultivators longed for!

"I heard this Treasure Dragon Land contains the power of Dragon Blood Essence; even refining a single strand would be enough to elevate my mortal body several stages!"

"The whole Treasure Dragon Land is said to be a secret realm born from the fall of an extremely powerful true dragon; it also holds many heavenly materials and earthly treasures, but unfortunately we can only cultivate there for three days and cannot move around freely."

"Treasure Dragon Land is the lifeblood of the Xuan Gen Dao, how could a bunch of us be allowed to explore it?"

Yan Buji heard these words, which matched what he had heard himself.

But this time he only went in to see what the so‑called Dragon Blood Essence actually was, and whether it was similar to a warrior's blood essence.

Soon, the group arrived at a plaza where many later‑stage Lianqi cultivators and even Foundation Establishment masters were stationed; the three factions' members went up to converse, then immediately turned to look at their party.

"Everyone, being fortunate enough to enter Treasure Dragon Land is a heavenly blessing; I'll say no more here. Once inside you may not wander freely; we will assign you to a dedicated closed‑gate cultivation site, and you must leave when the three‑day period ends. Anyone who dares to ignore this rule should not blame us for showing no mercy."

"Yes, we will remember!"

"Let's go!"

Accompanied by a shout, two colossal stone pillars over a hundred meters tall in front of the plaza suddenly erupted in dazzling white light, blinding everyone's eyes.

The rustic pillars, as the white light burst, drew a massive influx of spiritual energy below, forming a light gate.

Following the guidance, Yan Buji entered with the group.

In the blink of an eye.

Yan Buji suddenly felt an extremely abundant blood Qi spreading in the air, subtly stirring his Blood Essence Skill.

If he hadn't already entered the second layer of the Blood Heaven Ascension Degree, he wouldn't have been able to suppress this anomaly.

At a glance, the surroundings were barren, like a jagged rocky gorge, yet not a drop of water was visible.

Crossing the gorge, the three factions' cultivators led Yan Buji and the others to the mid‑section of a high mountain, where countless caves were spotted, and they immediately said:

"Everyone, choose your own spot to cultivate."

Before they finished speaking, a swarm of cultivators sprinted toward the cave nearest the summit; Yan Buji raised an eyebrow, sensing the blood Qi here to be even more abundant than that of the place they entered.

The dense, un‑dissolvable crimson mist atop the summit was likely the true treasure for cultivation, whereas the thin crimson clouds at the mid‑mountain could not compare.

"Perhaps they know they cannot reach the summit, so grabbing the cave closest to it feels better for cultivation?"

Yan Buji gave an odd smile; even if the nearer to the summit the blood Qi, what could be done in just three days?

It would be better to relax and slowly refine it later.

Yan Buji casually chose a cave, entered, sat calmly, and began attempting to absorb the blood Qi.

"Since my Martial Dao Profound Skill reacts so strongly, it seems this blood Qi is indeed more suitable for cultivators who train martial arts or refine the body," Yan Buji thought, activating the Blood Essence Skill of the Blood Heaven Ascension Degree to absorb.

With that draw, Yan Buji suddenly felt far more clear.

Unfortunately it was too thin; the blood Qi here was not like ordinary martial blood, but resembled a tonic directly targeting Qi and blood.

Even though Yan Buji now possessed a high‑grade bright‑bodied jade bone and the Blood Heaven Ascension Degree's Qi‑blood enhancement, he could feel a steady upward trend, indicating the quality of this blood Qi was extremely high.

The spot he occupied was not the best cultivation site within Treasure Dragon Land; if it were the summit…

Yan Buji rapidly absorbed the blood Qi; although its quality was high, the quantity was too little, insufficient for his cultivation.

Three days passed in an instant, and Yan Buji left with a regretful expression.

He guessed there would be no chance to return; if he could find a substitute for this blood Qi to train martial arts, his Martial Dao Profound Skill would likely improve greatly!

"Although Treasure Dragon Land is a good place, it's not one I can access now," Yan Buji mused, temporarily setting the thought aside.

In the following time, Yan Buji began the main Nine Turns Skill cultivation.

After more than half a year, Yan Buji found a secluded cultivation spot in the Huang Du outside the Lingyu, using a large number of Zengyuan Pills and 30,000 Spiritual Stones, finally completing the nine dispersions and nine refinements of magical power, reaching the pinnacle of the second Lianqi Level, an unsurpassable state.

Now, Yan Buji began attempting a breakthrough to the third Lianqi Level; breaking a minor realm requires integrating a new cultivation method to shatter the shackles, which, given his Five Elements mutual generation concept, made the first and second attempts naturally easy.

He chose the basic earth‑type technique Heavy Mountain Skill, which he had obtained in the Kun Dao region after defeating a bald rogue in a mountain market, also acquiring the Nether Book at that time.

Leaving the Nether Book aside, Heavy Mountain Skill, as an earth‑type technique, excels in high defense and, once mastered, can augment internal force to greatly boost melee attacks.

Compared with the basic cultivation method Spirit Fire Formula, which carries Spiritual Fire techniques, Heavy Mountain Skill is actually more suitable for Yan Buji.

After all, Yan Buji's combat prowess lies entirely in his hands, and he has only learned a few of the simplest spells.

It's not that he doesn't want to learn; he simply lacks the talent and time.

Yan Buji sat cross‑legged, his internal magical power surging like a never‑ending river; the magical power far beyond that of ordinary cultivators roared within him without overburdening his meridians or dantian, a hidden benefit of cultivating the Nine Turns Skill.

Each time he performs a dispersion and re‑refinement, his meridians and dantian become a bit tougher; the nine dispersions and nine refinements from the first to the second Lianqi Level have made Yan Buji's physique far superior to that of ordinary cultivators.

Of course, this only reflects his body's capacity to bear such magical power, not any change in his innate talent.

The cultivation of Heavy Mountain Skill progressed smoothly; he quickly completed its first layer, perhaps thanks to his high‑grade bright‑bodied jade bone nature matching the technique, making it easy to practice.

Wah‑la‑la!

As Heavy Mountain Skill entered its first layer, Yan Buji's dantian instantly gathered three different‑attribute magical powers, forming a semicircular rotation!

At this moment, he also successfully advanced his realm to the third Lianqi Level!
