Chapter 1054 True Blood
She even had a bit of a "let's watch the show" mentality in her mind.

Since their encounter, Leng Tieya has consistently demonstrated a high degree of control and composure.

Even a once-in-a-millennium genius like her couldn't win over Leng Tieya.

They even relied on his help.

While grateful, she was also indignant and wanted to see Leng Tieya in a sorry state.

After she left with the black jade box, Leng Tieya sat down at the stone table with his eyes closed.

A gentle breeze swept through the pine branches, creating a whistling sound as the pine needles brushed against them.

His clothes fluttered in the wind, and he sat motionless.

Intuitively assess whether the previous posture is safe to practice, or if there are any risks involved.

His intuition did indeed warn him that these positions were dangerous.

However, he could vaguely detect the shadow of the Dragon Subduing Stake in these postures.

Back when he was in Xiaotianwaitian, the martial arts he practiced in the Dragon Subduing Sect included both mental techniques and stance training, with the Dragon Subduing Stance being one of them.

Stand on the Dragon Subduing Stake, practice the Dragon Transformation Technique, and then the Dragon Binding Rope.

He had always suspected that the Ancient Dragon Subduing Sect was related to the Ancient Dragon Subduing Sect of the Lesser Heavenly Realm.

Looking back now, there is indeed a connection.

Unfortunately, this connection did not help him comprehend the martial arts techniques of the ancient Dragon Subduing Sect.

I still don't dare to practice.

He shook his head, stood up, drew his sword, and the Flying Scale Sword began to transform into a ball of light that enveloped him.

……

Chu Liezhao paced back and forth in the courtyard, his mind filled with images.

It was the Dragon Taming Technique of the Ancient Dragon Subduing Sect that Leng Tieya had seen before.

He closed his eyes, focused his mind for a moment, and then vaguely sensed that there was no danger.

He opened his eyes, his gaze sharp and bright, and a smile appeared on his face.

He himself could practice the Dragon Taming Technique without danger, but Leng Tieya could not.

What about the real body?

At this moment, Chu Zhiyuan, who was in the Demon Subduing Palace, opened his eyes and then closed them again.

He shook his head after a moment.

There are dangers in his practice of this Dragon Taming Technique.

This made him curious.

Chu Liezhao was not much different from him; he could also practice the Heavenly Dragon Technique.

Why was it dangerous for him to practice this technique, but not for Chu Liezhao?

Chu Liezhao then went into the courtyard and struck the pose shown in the first picture.

There were footsteps outside.

Li Yuzhen's slender and graceful figure appeared in the courtyard. She clasped her hands and said, "Your Highness, the Empress has personally gone to the grotto-heaven."

Chu Liezhao nodded.

Li Yuzhen said, "Her Majesty said to try to get His Highness out of seclusion as soon as possible."

Chu Liezhao smiled.

Li Yuzhen smiled and said, "Your Majesty is becoming more and more satisfied with the Prince Consort."

Chu Liezhao smiled and shook his head, saying, "It's alright."

Li Yuzhen said, "I heard from Your Majesty that the marriage between Yujing and Yuanzhen has been arranged."

Li Yuzhen and Li Yuchun were the most trusted confidantes of Li Miaotan and were also deeply trusted by the Empress.

Therefore, she knew the Empress's true attitude towards Li Miaotan's marriage to Chu Liezhao.

The Empress actually looked down on Chu Liezhao, but due to the Emperor's will and Li Miaotan's pride, she never showed it.

The Empress's attitude towards Chu Liezhao has now fundamentally changed.

"Let it be settled then. Such a major matter of the court cannot be stopped even by the emperor, let alone by the princess and me." Chu Liezhao asked, "What are Phoenix's plans?"

"I heard from the Empress that the Emperor has no intention of breaking up these two marriages."

"Oh--?"

"His Majesty said that Yuanzhen is cunning and deceitful, and no matter how many marriages he arranges, they are useless and not worth mentioning."

Chu Liezhao smiled.

This statement may not be credible; the Phoenix Emperor may say this, but he may not necessarily do it.

Li Yuzhen said, "His Majesty also said that as long as Your Highness and the Prince Consort and his wife are alive, Yuanzhen will never believe Yujing."

Chu Liezhao nodded slowly: "Not bad."

In Yuan Zhen's eyes, Yu Jing's marriage alliance with both them and the Phoenix Dynasty was not entirely credible.

If someone is not trustworthy, given Yuanzhen's style of doing things, he will secretly cause trouble.

They'll eventually fall out.

"That's all Your Majesty has to say," Li Yuzhen said.

The Empress told her all this so that she could give it to the Prince Consort.

Chu Liezhao nodded: "Understood."

……

Li Yuzhen withdrew, and Chu Liezhao began to study the Dragon Taming Technique.

After assuming the first pose, he immediately sensed something was wrong.

The golden dragon in the sky suddenly behaved strangely.

It had been leisurely tumbling and shifting, moving with ease and grace, as if playing among the clouds. Suddenly, it looked at Chu Liezhao.

Chu Liezhao immediately felt that his connection with the golden dragon had suddenly become even stronger.

This gave him a strange feeling, as if he had truly become the master of the golden dragon.

It can truly command and control the golden dragon.

He couldn't help but wonder: Could this be the truth behind the Dragon Taming Technique?
To master the Dragon Taming Technique, you must first have a dragon.
Does this mean that every disciple of the Dragon Subduing Sect possesses a dragon?

He himself was drawn to the dragon in the void because of the Heavenly Dragon's Guidance.

Could it be that the Heavenly Dragon Guide is the foundational cultivation method of the Dragon Subduing Sect?

Therefore, only those dragons that can be subdued can be called the Dragon Subduing Sect, and the Dragon Taming Technique also requires dragons that can be tamed to be practiced.

What a coincidence.

Was I incredibly lucky to have such a coincidence?

Without practicing the Heavenly Dragon Guide, one cannot practice the Dragon Taming Technique.

So what exactly is the power of this Dragon Taming Technique?

He couldn't wait to practice all thirty-six pictures.

But just as she was practicing the sixth picture, and her connection with the golden dragon in the void became even stronger, Li Miaotan returned.

Li Miaotan's stunning beauty and captivating charm were displayed before Chu Liezhao, causing him to smile broadly and open his arms wide.

Li Miaotan threw herself into his arms.

……

An hour later, the two changed their clothes, left their bedroom, and sat in the courtyard to enjoy tea.

Li Miaotan's beauty became increasingly radiant.

Her eyes sparkled, and she smiled sweetly, "My husband, I've gone in another round."

Chu Liezhao smiled and said, "Congratulations!"

“But I still can’t compare to you, my husband.” Li Miaotan shook her head, her bright eyes sparkling with a smile.

I was able to advance one level because of a fortuitous encounter in Phoenix Cave.

More importantly, he has the blood of a phoenix.

But she is still not as good as her husband.

I have to say, my husband is truly a genius, far surpassing me.

Chu Liezhao smiled and said, "I've found a great place and I'd like to take you there."

"A suitable place for my cultivation?"

"Hmm, it should be beneficial to your bloodline."

"Then let's go take a look."

Li Miaotan's bright eyes sparkled.

She knew that unless it was extremely important, Chu Liezhao would not have allowed her to leave seclusion early, in less than a month.

She was very curious about what kind of treasure could make Chu Liezhao, who had such high standards, value it so much.

The fact that it involved bloodlines excited her even more.

Chu Liezhao put down his teacup and drew a portal of light with his left hand.

Li Miaotan hurriedly stepped forward to stand beside him.

Chu Liezhao put his arm around her slender waist, and together they stepped into the portal and disappeared.

The next moment, they appeared outside the hill.

As far as the eye can see, there is endless yellow sand and strange rocks.

The air was dry and carried a muddy, fishy smell.

Li Miaotan glanced at it, but before she could even express her feelings, her bright eyes suddenly narrowed.

She looked straight at the hill.

Chu Liezhao smiled.

Li Miaotan stepped forward in a daze, approaching the hill step by step.

A scorching aura began to emanate from his body, and a seven-colored phoenix faintly appeared in the void above his head.

Only Chu Liezhao and Li Miaotan could see this seven-colored phoenix.

Chu Liezhao discovered that its aura had become extraordinary, far surpassing that of a month ago.

It is clear that his bloodline has been strengthened once again during his time in Phoenix Cave.

Now, the seven-colored phoenix began to dance, circling the hill, about to disappear into it.

Chu Liezhao asked, "Madam, is that Phoenix True Blood?"

“Yes,” Li Miaotan murmured, as if afraid of waking something.

Chu Liezhao smiled.

It really is the true blood of the phoenix.

All my efforts were worthwhile; I have indeed found the Phoenix Blood.

"Is it good for your bloodline?" Chu Liezhao asked softly.

"Yes." Li Miaotan's gaze shifted from the hill to Chu Liezhao, and she said softly, "It can greatly enhance my bloodline, my husband..."

Chu Liezhao asked, "Is there something wrong with this?"

He could tell that Li Miaotan's emotions were somewhat complicated, not simply excitement and joy.

It was also mixed with other emotions, including worry, longing, and hesitation.

Li Miaotan sighed softly, "Husband, do I really want to absorb this phoenix blood?"
