Chapter 198: Dragon Clouds
Chatting along the way, the four of them walked for a full two hours without realizing it; without the support of soul power, the three women were tired after walking for so long.
Seeing this, Shi Quan took the three women to find an open space to rest for a while.
Fortunately, they had prepared a large variety of delicious food when they came.
Just after sitting down, Shi Quan took out all kinds of food directly from his Hundred Treasure Bag, and he and the three women ate heartily; those who didn't know better would have thought they were having a picnic.
After eating and drinking their fill and resting briefly, the four of them continued on their way.
After walking for about another hour, they finally arrived at a wide, open plain.
"What is that?!" After walking for a while longer, Shi Quan narrowed his eyes, his gaze landing on a spot less than a hundred meters in mid-air.
"Cough, cough, cough..." After a few light coughs, Shi Quan pointed ahead and changed the subject, saying: "These Dragon Clouds that have already been absorbed cannot be absorbed a second time; there are still many Dragon Clouds over there, let's continue."
"Oh?" Shi Quan gave a wicked smile, "How comfortable is it?"
The Sacred Dragon is the head of all dragons; although there is a significant gap compared to the Golden Dragon King bloodline which possesses a portion of the Dragon God's bloodline, below the Dragon God, the title of the Sacred Dragon as the head of all dragons is truly well-deserved.
However, after some attempts by the three women, apart from a white cloud suddenly falling from the sky and brushing past Ye Lingling, Zhu Zhuqing and Dugu Yan did not trigger any of the Dragon Clouds in the sky.
This improvement was in no way weaker than the improvement they gained from consuming the Immortal Herb back then, but the latter was more focused on soul power, while the dragon soul power within the Dragon Clouds was more for the improvement of the body.
Shi Quan smiled faintly, snapped his fingers, and said: "Zhuqing is right; when I said it wasn't difficult, it naturally meant I had a way."
The lightness and freedom of the wind element.
"Boss, me too," Shouhe also spoke up.
The three women did not know how great the benefits of elemental infiltration were; they only felt that after the elemental infiltration, their perception and resistance to elements had become stronger, their Mental Power had become stronger, and their physical strength had also improved. Apart from soul power, every aspect seemed to have undergone a transformation.
"So comfortable, I feel incredibly relaxed all over," the newly awakened Zhu Zhuqing hugged one of Shi Quan's shoulders excitedly.
Once the Dragon Cloud energy transmitted by Shi Quan entered their bodies, it could be absorbed directly without needing to remain still to meditate and absorb it.
Sacred Dragon Eight Spears!
Conversely, Shi Quan only felt that these elemental energies were absorbed directly upon entering his body, without any need to absorb them through meditation.
Zhu Zhuqing chuckled and patted Dugu Yan, saying: "Sister Yan Yan, don't be angry. Rest assured, since Xiao Quan said that, there must be some way for us to absorb these Dragon Clouds."
Before the dragon soul entering the Sacred Dragon Eight Spears could reach Shi Quan's body, it was split into four by Shi Quan using the Sacred Dragon Eight Spears; one portion for himself, and the remaining three were divided equally among the three women. The effect was as if they had attracted the dragon soul themselves.
These Dragon Clouds were earth-attributed, Life Attribute, and Mental Power-attributed Dragon Clouds respectively. As soon as the three types of Dragon Clouds entered his body, Shi Quan immediately felt some subtle changes in his physical state.
"Don't worry," Shi Quan raised the corners of his mouth in a smile and led the three women toward the direction of the clouds, "These clouds are called Dragon Clouds; they are actually a form of manifestation of dragon souls. Among all dragon souls, these Dragon Clouds are the safest because they possess no consciousness, only instinct."
Dugu Yan stuck out her tongue and said: "These Dragon Clouds are too difficult, right? Not a single cloud has come down in ages."
Ye Lingling also smiled and said: "If it weren't for Xiao Quan's Sacred Dragon Eight Spears, under normal circumstances, an ordinary person would never be able to absorb the power of so many Dragon Clouds. All of this is because of Xiao Quan."
Shi Quan used the power of the Sacred Dragon Eight Spears to attract the Dragon Clouds, and the power of these Dragon Clouds also entered the Sacred Dragon Eight Spears first, which made it convenient for Shi Quan.
After absorbing them, Shi Quan didn't feel any major changes, but the three women were different; they only felt an indescribable comfort all over their bodies.
"Sit cross-legged and meditate."
The entire body felt as if it had been cleansed and marrow-washed; the essence and energy of the whole body became strong and solid, and each breath became more lingering.
The most peculiar thing was the color of these clouds: red, orange, yellow, green, cyan, blue, and purple, all were present. The color and shape of each cloud were different, and the mist was constantly deforming; vaguely, they all seemed to have a bit of the appearance of dragon-kind.
The violence and heat of the fire element.
"If I had to describe the feeling, that white cloud possesses a very strong healing power, as if it were some kind of elemental power so dense it had taken form."
Attracting a few Dragon Clouds with the Sacred Dragon Eight Spears, which possesses the Sacred Dragon Bloodline, is surely as easy as turning over one's hand.
"As long as your aura can resonate with these Dragon Clouds, these Dragon Clouds will actively descend and merge into your bodies. Once we get closer, you can try it in a while."
Zhu Zhuqing's cheeks flushed slightly, then she let go of Shi Quan's arm, glared at him, and said: "Annoying."
111.253.237.132
After absorbing a large amount of dragon soul power from the Dragon Clouds, the physical fitness of the three women had all undergone a qualitative improvement. The meridians in their bodies were now full of texture, like white jade, and even their bones felt more substantial.
"A-Quan, this silver Dragon Cloud is also beneficial to me," Xiaomeng said excitedly, her wings flapping gently.
Shi Quan chuckled, noticed the two gazes from his side, and rubbed his nose, "I didn't say anything, I was just asking."
"Hmph," Dugu Yan pulled Zhu Zhuqing over, "Xiao Quan is really getting worse and worse."
Ye Lingling only said after savoring the feeling for a while: "I don't know either, I just felt that the white cloud in the sky had a sense of intimacy. As soon as I got close to it, it came down on its own."
The gentleness and coldness of the water element.
Shi Quan nodded, stepped forward, and said: "Lingling is right. Actually, these Dragon Clouds are a collection of special heaven and earth energy carrying the power of the Dragon Tribe bloodline. Although these elemental powers will not merge with the soul power in your bodies, they are a great tonic for your bodies."
As the Sacred Dragon Eight Spears extended, the bloodline aura belonging to the Sacred Dragon surged out, and the violent fluctuations connected together.
Therefore, he could only stay where he was and wait for the three women to wake up; this wait lasted for two full days.
Soon, the three women sat cross-legged again and entered meditation.
Looking up at the dozen or so Dragon Clouds drifting in the sky around them, eight golden lights unfolded from Shi Quan's back.
The harvest from the Dragon Clouds alone was enough to amaze the three women; it was hard to imagine how great the improvement would be for them if they really obtained the True Dragon Soul Bone later.
Hearing Shi Quan's voice, the three women immediately sat cross-legged and began to meditate.
"Hmph!" Dugu Yan said poutily: "Isn't it just some Dragon Clouds? This young lady doesn't even care for them!"
"Is that so?" The three women's curiosity was immediately piqued, and they all walked toward the Dragon Clouds together.
"Xiao Quan, what are those clouds? There seems to be some special energy inside them; should we be a little careful?" Ye Lingling was the first of the three to discover the anomaly in the sky. After she absorbed the Spirit Condensing Wisdom Skull, her Mental Power and observation skills had increased significantly.
Among them, three spider spears pierced directly into their skin. After a slight pain, the next second, they felt countless points of light pouring into their bodies. The points of light shuttled through their bodies; these points of light were of every color, and all kinds of Elemental Power were shuttling through their bodies.
"This Dragon Valley is indeed a treasure trove; just a few Dragon Clouds have given us such a great improvement, it's really too awesome," Dugu Yan waved her fists excitedly, her eyes full of joy and excitement.
Shi Quan took Ye Lingling into his arms and kissed her little mouth, "Isn't this what a husband should do for you?"
Because the three women could directly absorb the dragon soul power and Elemental Power within the Dragon Clouds, the group of four resumed their normal progress. Along the way, whenever they encountered Dragon Clouds, Shi Quan still divided them among the three women directly through the Sacred Dragon Eight Spears.
"Is it difficult?" Shi Quan raised the corners of his mouth, raised his hand to beckon, and his aura spread out. The green, yellow, and silver Dragon Clouds in the sky all fell toward Shi Quan in unison.
Unknowingly, the three women had all entered deep meditation.
Unknowingly, the three women had all entered into deep meditation.
……
All kinds of elements surged into Shi Quan's body, and his affinity for various elements suddenly skyrocketed; this feeling was just like the affinity with all things in nature upon the Earth.
As for Xiaomeng and Shouhe, they were one with Shi Quan, so they could naturally absorb a portion of the energy that Shi Quan absorbed.
The four continued forward, and this time Shi Quan temporarily stored the energy from the dragon clouds directly into the Sacred Dragon Eight Spears, only distributing the energy to the three women once the Sacred Dragon Eight Spears were nearly full.
The group pressed on, and through this repeated cycle, the speed at which the three women meditated and absorbed energy became faster and faster, constantly shortening from the initial two days until, by the twentieth time, the three women felt that their bodies had reached a wondrous state.
At a distance of less than a hundred meters from the ground, patches of clouds were drifting by.
In just a fleeting moment, the dragon clouds of other colors in the sky, which had previously been still, suddenly seemed to find a vent, surging violently one after another and then swarming toward Shi Quan's direction.
Absorbing dragon clouds along this journey, they had unknowingly been in the Dragon Valley for at least two months.
Ye Lingling's ears turned red instantly, and she nodded shyly; just as the group was walking toward the depths of the plain, a low sound of footsteps suddenly came from a dense forest on the plain not far to the right...
