Fantasy: Ten Dragons Compete for the Throne, I, the Villain, Choose to Play it Off

Chapter 13 Dragon Spring Blood Pool, Blood Pool Demonized!
In front of the main hall of the Dragon Spring Blood Pool sat an old man, whose age was unknown. He looked extremely old, as if he might be buried at any moment.

However, a glint of intelligence would inadvertently appear in the other person's eyes.

Li Qiye has already activated his Mind-Eye Aperture Perception, greatly enhancing it.

The moment he saw the old man, he felt a chill run down his spine, as if he were seeing a ferocious beast from the ancient, wild land.

Unexpectedly, the opponent's aged body was surging with blood and qi, containing extremely terrifying power.

"As expected of the person guarding the Dragon Spring Blood Pool, he is actually a top-tier expert."

Li Qiye murmured to himself.

Li Qiye had never felt this way when facing General Guozhu before.

"The little guy is good."

The old man suddenly opened his eyes, his eyes flashing with light.

"It has been a long time since I have seen anyone who has opened their mind and spirit."

"You are the first one in over a thousand years. It seems the Great Zhou Dynasty has a worthy successor!"

Li Qiye recovered from his shock and said calmly:
"You flatter me, senior. It was just a coincidence."

Although the opponent is powerful, Li Qiye possesses a system.

It's not impossible for him to reach that level in the future.

"In the path of martial arts, it is impossible to reach a certain level without a special opportunity."

"Opportunities are also part of one's own strength."

The old man laughed.

After saying this, he slightly raised his withered hand, and the heavy hall doors swung open with a bang.

"Little one, hurry up and go inside."

Li Qiye nodded and then walked into the Dragon Spring Blood Pool Hall.

Once inside, the main hall doors were closed.

The old man also fell into deep thought, muttering to himself, "If I'm not mistaken, when the prince came of age, only two of his nine orifices were opened."

"Only a year has passed, and all nine orifices have opened, along with the Mind-Eye Divine Aperture..."

If he hadn't checked Li Qiye's identity just now and found it to be the same as before, he would have thought he had been possessed by some old monster.

"If I weren't a time traveler, I think they would have noticed something was amiss."

Li Qiye thought to himself.

Li Qiye entered the Dragon Spring Blood Pool Hall, which was very spacious, with only a huge pool in the center.

The liquid in the pool was blood red, but there was no bloody smell at all. A faint medicinal fragrance filled the air, which was refreshing.

Li Qiye took off his clothes and entered the blood pool.

As soon as he entered, surging spiritual energy and the essence of the dragon prince rushed into his limbs and bones, transforming his body.

Li Qiye felt as if he were in a hot spring, his whole body warm and comfortable.

And so, he soaked for the time it takes for an incense stick to burn.

While enjoying himself, Li Qiye was also thinking about the Supreme Imperial Dragon Manual he had just obtained.

He then activated the Supreme Emperor Dragon Secret Scripture, and his entire body was enveloped in golden light, while a phantom image of a golden dragon also appeared.

The phantom has a pair of golden dragon eyes on its head, looking down on everything from a high place!
Suddenly, the golden dragon phantom moved, making various gestures in the air.

Li Qiye suddenly realized that this was a martial technique from the Supreme Imperial Dragon Manual.

With Jinlong's demonstration, Li Qiye gained a more thorough understanding of these martial arts techniques.

Immediately, the same phantom appeared in Li Qiye's mind, and at the same time, it was imitating the golden dragon demonstrating all of this.

"Could this be a cultivation method bestowed by the system?"

"This is mental cultivation!"

Li Qiye's consciousness sank into his mind, where a small figure appeared, and this small figure was none other than Li Qiye himself.

Just as Li Qiye entered his mind through his consciousness to cultivate the Supreme Emperor Dragon Secret Scripture.

The once calm Dragon Spring Blood Pool suddenly began to churn.

"what?!"

The old man who had been resting with his eyes closed opened them and looked into the Dragon Spring Blood Pool Hall. The hall was protected by protective barriers, making it difficult to see what was inside.

However, the old man could clearly sense the frenzied atmosphere within.

"What the hell is going on?"

A glint of light flashed once more in the old man's lifeless eyes.

He received the favor of Emperor Yuan and willingly guarded the Dragon Spring Blood Pool Palace for ten thousand years.

Countless prodigies have emerged during this period, but this is the first time such a change has occurred.

To put it bluntly, among all the geniuses the old man had seen, Li Qiye was not particularly outstanding; he could only be considered above average.

"This is wrong!"

The old man fell into deep thought, as if pondering the reason for this change.

The water in the Dragon Spring Blood Pool is extremely special, and the surrounding pool walls are also made of special materials and engraved with Emperor-level Dao patterns.

Because the Dragon Spring Blood Pool is too special, it requires Emperor-level Dao patterns to suppress it.

Six thousand years ago, a prince with exceptional talent entered the Dragon Spring Blood Pool to bathe and remarked that there was something wrong with it.

But they didn't know where the problem lay.

It seems that this prince may have seen through the secrets of the Dragon Spring Blood Pool back then.

At some point, the Emperor-level Dao patterns malfunctioned and became unable to suppress the raging Dragon Spring Blood Pool.

After all, the materials used in the Dragon Spring Blood Pool are extremely powerful, so they need to be suppressed with Emperor-level Dao patterns.

"The Blood Pool has become a demon!"

Based on this, the old man immediately drew a conclusion.

He couldn't care less about anything else and prepared to enter the Dragon Spring Blood Pool Hall to rescue Li Qiye.

Anyway, the Dragon Spring Blood Pool is suppressed by Emperor-level Dao patterns, so it won't cause any trouble in the short term.

As for what to do next, let's leave that to those old monsters in the royal family like Li Xuanyuan to figure out.

Just as the old man was about to open the main hall door, the door suddenly burst open.

Li Qiye walked out with a calm expression.

You're actually alright?

The old man looked at Li Qiye in surprise.

In his view, Li Qiye was likely trapped by the demonized Dragon Spring Blood Pool and had fallen into demonic possession.

Li Qiye blinked, looking puzzled, and asked, "What could possibly happen if I just go to the Dragon Spring Blood Pool for a bath?"

"open……"

The old man was completely dumbfounded.

"Senior, I still need to go to the Great Road Stele, so I'll take my leave now."

Li Qiye said with a smile.

"Your Highness, this way please!"

Xiao Xuanzi, who was waiting outside the Dragon Spring Blood Pool Hall, came to Li Qiye and said respectfully.

Even after the two left, the old man was still full of doubts.

"Am I wrong?"

The old man pondered for a moment, then walked directly into the Dragon Spring Blood Pool Hall.

When they saw what was inside, they were stunned.

"The Blood Pool of Dragon Spring has changed color!"

"Where is the dragon blood?"

The blood pool at Longquan was no longer bright red, but had turned the color of water.

Now, the Longquan Blood Pool is crystal clear!

The Dragon Spring Blood Pool, which could have been used for at least tens of thousands of years, has lost all its dragon blood and medicinal properties.

The Dragon Spring Blood Pool has dried up; how will he explain this?
