Chapter 135: Fateful Encounter

d, with a bright red mark on his forehead, blood flowing out.Had he not retreated quickly, it would have been more than just a red mark on his forehead. He might have even been shot in the head.Luckil...Could this have been a coincidence Lu Ye didn't think so. Recalling the scene, he remembered focusing all fifty-four of his spiritual apertures, imbuing them with the Gathering Spirit patterns. Suddenly, a gigantic crimson pupil appeared in his mind, and a faint, aged voice echoed, though Lu Ye couldn't quite make out its words.

Immediately following the dragon's breath, a shower of dragon scales erupted from the Dragon Spring.

This wasn't like coincidence, it felt more like some force deliberately brought this dragon scale before him.

It seems that there are some secrets hidden under the Dragon Spring, even the Tai Luo Sect of Qing Yu Mountain doesn't know about them. Lu Ye didn't dwell on this, thinking about it now is useless, his cultivation level is still too low.

Holding the object in his hand, Lu Ye discovered that it resembled a dragon scale, with a blood-red hue and what seemed to be fresh blood flowing within it.

The reason why Longquan is able to temper cultivators' physiques is because of the faint red mist. As cultivators meditate and practice within it, inhaling and exhaling the mist, their physiques become strengthened.

What is this…

scales...

Li Ye's mind was lively and active. If that were true, then these scales would be priceless treasures!

"What's the point of this,

Lu Ye felt a little stumped.

"

In this situation, the Lingling Wen naturally wouldn't work. Right now, all 54 of his acupoints are empowered with Ju Ling. If it were useful, it would have already taken effect.

Just when he was at his wit's end, Amber suddenly came over and nudged her big head into Lu Ye's arms. She leaned against Lu Ye's hand and inhaled sharply at the scales on it.

A visible streak of blood flowed from the scales, being sucked into Amber's mouth. Amber immediately froze, stiffening before collapsing straight down.

"Amber!" Yiyin exclaimed in surprise.

Lu Ye also hurriedly got up to check the situation.

"It should be fine." Lu Ye recalled the feeling of his Dragon Spring Tempering before. "Probably I absorbed too much and couldn't resist, so I fainted."

When he was tempering his body in Longquan, he endured a great deal of pain. That was only faint red mist. But Amber just sucked out a bloodline with her mouth. That scarlet bloodline was obviously much stronger than the mist.

And the crimson light flickering on its body, if I'm not mistaken, should be from it tempering its physique.

Having learned from the precedent of Hu Po, Lu Ye wasn't too bold in thinking about any crooked thoughts. If he wanted to use the energy within these scales, he still needed to come up with a more stable way.

Lu Ye and Yiyi observed the amber for a while after it retracted its scales. They confirmed that it was truly unharmed. Furthermore, in Yiyi's perception, amber's vital energy was increasing at an incredibly clear pace. As vital energy strengthens, one's physique naturally becomes more robust.

This aligns with Lu Ye's conjecture.

Scales are a good thing, whether they're from a dragon or not!

He thought of Hua Ci again. If this woman saw him again, she would probably suspect that he was practicing physical cultivation.

Lü Yè felt that his current physique and qi and blood were even stronger than those of the fifth-layer body cultivators he had seen before in Tai Luo Zong.

For a whole night, Lu Ye didn't practice his cultivation. He spent the entire time practicing swordsmanship, using this method to familiarize himself with his suddenly enhanced body.

When dawn broke, Amber slowly woke up. After a thorough check, she found nothing unusual. Her energy and blood power had increased significantly, even her snow-white fur seemed to shine brighter.

...

After a night of turmoil, the exhausted playboy, dressed in disarray, pushed open the door. Outside, Old Dong stood with his hands behind his back, motionless like a stake, eyes closed in meditation. As for guarding him, he did a pretty good job. Last night, if it hadn't been for the young master’s outburst, he would have probably stood at the bedside all night, truly a bodyguard by his side.

"Old Dong is gone!" the young master called out, savoring the events of last night. His heart was full. To ordinary people, cultivators were high and mighty figures, but he was no ordinary person. He didn't defile those mortal women because he had better options. Cultivating female disciples far surpassed those mortal women in his taste, giving him a sense of superiority as he played around.

What's wrong with that cultivator Throwing a bunch of spirit stones around and still can't even handle me!

The dissolute young master was in front, with his bodyguard Old Dong behind him. The courtesans warmly bid them farewell, and several scoundrels had been sent somewhere unknown.

...

Two figures hurried towards the Chamber of Commerce. The man in the lead was weeping, and it was unclear what he had done wrong.

The girl following behind him also had a grim expression.

Two young cultivators, who had never seen such a bustling city before, were captivated by its sights. They spent the day exploring, oblivious to time until their senior brother sent them a message. They then hurried towards the Heavenly Machine Commerce Alliance to meet up with him.

After remembering what their senior brother had said, the two young cultivators felt very uneasy.

>>Dozens of feet away, at the breakfast stall outside Zui Chun Lou, a pampered young master was enjoying a bowl of delicious chao. Suddenly, he beamed and pointed in a direction: "Old Dong, Old Dong, that snow-white tiger is truly magnificent! Go ask that man how many spirit stones he wants for it. Let's buy it!"hixiong shouted: “I'll lure this big one away first, then find a way to support you guys. Hold on!” He was a veteran of many battles, and immediately thought of a strategy to defeat the enemy. The cur...
