Chapter 395 Dragon Seed Progress, Bayon's Letter

This made Li Wushou feel a little hopeful.

He could sense the laws he controlled, such as Yin and Yang, the Five Elements, the power of the boundary, and the power of the Styx River intertwined within him.

Having experienced being possessed by a Holy Spirit in a sacred realm, Li Wushou had a vague idea about what was being nurtured in the low mountain.

This should be something like the Holy Spirit, the core of heaven and earth. Once it is successfully conceived, the many "laws" that one has mastered will likely merge into a whole.

At that time, with a wave of his hand, Yin and Yang and the Five Elements will gather, the River Styx and the power of the realm will intertwine, which will surely far surpass the power of a typical Nascent Soul cultivator.

This unexpected discovery delighted Li Wushou.

"Law" has always been Li Wushou's weakness, and this was especially evident when facing the Blood Buddha.

It's not that Li Wushou's "method" is weak, but compared to Nascent Soul cultivators who have cultivated for hundreds or thousands of years, his accumulation is too little.

In the past, when facing Golden Core cultivators or Nascent Soul cultivators, he could win by sheer quality.

However, once the qualitative advantage is gone, the quantitative gap becomes particularly obvious, which is why he felt extremely frustrated when facing Blood Buddha Li Wushou this time.

However, if what is nurtured in the low mountain is really as he thinks, then when facing a top-level Nascent Soul cultivator like Blood Buddha, Li Wushou's disadvantage in terms of "law" will be greatly compensated.

As Li Wushou accumulates power, he may even be able to surpass them, which will undoubtedly greatly enhance Li Wushou's combat strength!
How could he not be happy about this?
After meditating quietly for a long time, Li Wushou finally calmed his mind. He had not yet fully sorted out and digested his gains this time, and before Luofu City could send back any information, Li Wushou prepared to continue.

With a thought, an invisible golden elixir flew out from his body.

After slowly revealing its form, a golden, round pill floated to Li Wushou's right.

Because the golden elixir was integrated into his own bones, the color changed from milky white to a blood-red hue, and then to the golden color it is now.

This not only reflects the changes in the color of the golden elixir, but also represents the several transformations of Li Wushou's physical body.

In the past few days, Li Wushou has spent almost all his time digesting the World Treasure Evolution Divine Aperture, but he still sets aside two periods each day to silently recite the Food for Heaven Sacrifice for refining the Golden Elixir and the physical body.

At this moment, Li Wushou's flesh and bones shone like gold, his bone marrow was as thick as mercury, and every unrestrained beating of his heart was like muffled thunder, which ordinary monsters and spirits could not withstand.

What surprised Li Wushou even more was that the flesh and bones seemed to be connected as one, and the two could even transform into each other and derive at will.

Li Wushou himself seemed to have transformed into a large, formless golden elixir, capable of freely changing into different shapes.

In some ways, it already bears some resemblance to Chen Gou'er's physique.

It's a bit of a pity that Li Wushou can't simulate other people's aura like Chen Gou'er. Otherwise, he wouldn't need to draw the ink body of the hungry ghost. He could transform his own physical body and pretend to be a hungry ghost, or even anyone.

"My painting skills still need improvement!"

After confirming this, Li Wushou took a moment to encourage Paper Goddess. Paper Goddess immediately felt immense pressure, which was why she volunteered to draw the Poison Domain outside the cave.

Seeing this, the Tree Goddess was not to be outdone, so she volunteered to guard the cave entrance for Li Wushou.

Seeing that the two were very interested, Li Wushou did not refuse. Since he didn't know what kind of commotion the digestion would cause, he taught the two the method of creating an incense barrier and went to guard outside the cave.

After five or six days of purification, Li Wushou felt that his previous hasty consumption had finally eliminated all the dross, leaving only the essence.

These things related to the Great Venerable are really hard to digest. No wonder the old beggar said he couldn't eat as cleanly as Chen Gou'er when it came to the flesh and blood on the bronze statue last time.

This is indeed very difficult.

However, all that effort was worthwhile; the physical transformation was definitely worth it.

In addition, the process of perfecting the Golden Dragon Seed is also progressing steadily.

When Li Wushou entered the Fubo Domain from the outer sea, the completeness of his dragon seed had just crossed the minor completion stage.

After experiencing the Canglan Divine Realm, devouring Hui Xuan and the Hungry Ghost Mountain Lord, and then the frenzied devouring of puppets in the Blood and Flesh Sacred Domain, the Golden Core Dragon Seed's completeness has increased from the Lesser Completion stage to about 60% now. If it can increase by another 10%, it should be able to enter the Greater Completion stage.

The improvement was significant, but it fell far short of the leap forward Li Wushou had envisioned.

Through these experiences, Li Wushou once again clarified the method for improving the Golden Core Dragon Seed: the total amount of flesh and blood is not related to the progress of improving the integrity of the Dragon Seed.

The type of flesh and blood is the key to improving the integrity of the product!

As Li Wushou continues to consume, the kind of surprise that comes with a nearly 50% increase, like when he ate the raw ash, will likely become less and less frequent.

This was a bit of a pity for Li Wushou, as he estimated that capturing those sparrows from Fenglingdao again next time wouldn't achieve the desired effect.

We must collect more new flesh and blood species from various sources!
The outer sea, Fubo Domain, Luofu City, Central Domain—it seems Lu Xingzhi and his group will also need to make arrangements there. The Sealing Spirit Path is also an indispensable channel.

Calming his mind, Li Wushou began to silently recite "Food is Heaven".

This time, it's not for refining the Golden Elixir, but to devour the Azure Lotus Envoy's primordial spirit within it.

When he killed the Azure Lotus Envoy earlier, he almost completely swallowed the enemy's primordial spirit and stored it in his golden core.

He hesitated for a long time about whether to consume the Green Lotus, but at this moment he made up his mind.

The primordial spirit of the Azure Lotus Envoy resembles a golden lotus of flesh and blood, and the flesh and blood that grows on it naturally comes from the Azure Lotus Envoy, which is why Li Wushou hesitated.

However, having reached the level of the primordial spirit, one has long transcended the realm of humanity and is no longer in human form, so Li Wushou was not too bothered by it.

Strictly speaking, shouldn't this be considered a new species?
Li Wushou was also curious whether this primordial spirit could push the dragon seed to its full potential.
As the mantra "Food is Heaven" began, the Azure Lotus Envoy's primordial spirit slowly dissolved into nothingness and merged into the Golden Core Dragon Seed.

A burst of golden light appeared, and a phantom figure with an outline somewhat similar to Li Wushou emerged, sitting cross-legged on the right.

Because of Li Wushou's control, the outline did not become clearer. But the atmosphere inside the cave suddenly became quiet and eerie.

Inside the Three Immortals Pavilion, the old beggar stepped out, muttered "troublesome" under his breath, and then walked out of the cave to take over the incense offering barrier.

Inside the cave, from left to right, the young primordial spirit Li Wushou, the youthful Li Wushou in his true form, and the outline of the near-immortal Li Wushou sat side by side, their auras intertwined.

After an unknown amount of time, the outline of his near-immortal body faded, and Li Wushou opened his eyes and sighed softly:
"Only such a small improvement?"

Li Wushou was speechless as he looked at the progress, which was only about three percent.

Even if Qinglian Envoy's primordial spirit is not a new species, it should still be considered human. After successfully refining the dragon seed, he has never eaten a human. How could it only have so little?
Could it be that I ate sometime ago?

Li Wushou quickly reviewed his experiences over this period of time, and suddenly a thought struck him: he thought of Hui Xuan.

Although Hui Xuan is a bird, the other party comes from the Fengling Dao!

If that's the case, the half-percent increase in gray Xuan earlier was the result of the fusion of the bird's body and the original body's flesh and blood, and the primordial spirit of the Azure Lotus Envoy at this moment is probably the result of the Azure Lotus and the original body's flesh and blood.

Having figured this out, Li Wushou was speechless.

As expected, there are no shortcuts to improving the completeness of dragon species. It seems that it won't work to try to take a shortcut by hunting strange and unusual primordial spirits.

Although it did not meet expectations, three percent is still a significant amount.

However, it will take some more time before it can reach its full potential.

After comforting himself, Li Wushou regained some composure.

Just then, the old beggar walked in from outside the cave, yawning.

After glancing at Li Wushou, he flashed back into the Three Immortals Pavilion, and at the same time transmitted his voice in an annoyed tone:
"Once you've digested it, go out and take a look. It seems that Bayon sent a letter yesterday and left it with the little paper doll."
