Douluo Continent: Not enough bloodline? Make up for it with brains

Chapter 9 The secret method of the body

Having a trace of true dragon bloodline doesn't mean you're inferior to a true dragon.

After all, it has only been a hundred years. If this sea dragon were to grow to a thousand or even ten thousand years, this trace of bloodline would be enough for it to be fully developed and completely transformed into a true dragon bloodline.

Therefore, this century-old sea dragon is extremely valuable and would be a highlight item in a mid-level auction.

Even Xu Shengqun, who was a Spirit Transmission Envoy, stationed in Tianhai City, and was known as the overlord of the entire coastal area of ​​the Tianhai Alliance, was surprised by Mu Ye's description.

A hundred-year-old sea dragon that has awakened a trace of true dragon bloodline is probably hard to find in the near sea; one would need to go into the deep sea and spend a great deal of effort to find it.

"The core of our Body Sect's cultivation is to temper one's own blood and qi. Your martial soul is the brain, so you are a bit weaker in tempering your body. You will stay here for the next month. I will prepare more food for you during this time and work with the Body Sect's secret techniques to help you build a solid foundation."

Xu Yuan nodded.

Xu Shengqun had no objections.

Zhenhua was overjoyed.

It's important to know that although Makino almost doubles as his chef, he doesn't meticulously prepare the dishes every day. The ingredients used to lay the foundation for his apprentice are definitely carefully selected.

Just like the sea cucumber tendon in front of him, although it is young, the taste is really good, and the key is that Xu Yuan alone may not even be able to eat a tenth of it.

Isn't the rest something that Zhenhua has to solve?

Just like sea cucumber tendons, so too will delicious food in the coming month!

"Come, try my cooking."

Mu Ye pulled Xu Yuan to the dining table, and suddenly a knife appeared in his right hand. He cut off a small piece of meat and handed Xu Yuan a fork.

Xu Yuan took the fork, picked up the muscle, and took a bite.

Instantly, a tremendous amount of energy burst forth from his mouth, transforming into a warm current that flowed down his throat, spreading throughout his entire body, bringing an indescribable sense of comfort.

Xu Yuan immediately put down the fork, sat cross-legged on the ground, and began to circulate his soul power to refine it.

What enormous energy!

Let alone one-tenth, this piece of meat probably only makes up one percent of the whole dish.

Xu Yuan sat cross-legged and refined the food, while Mu Ye Zhenhua and Xu Shengqun observed his changes and enjoyed the sea dragon tendon.

A full half hour passed before Xu Yuan finally refined the energy within his body.

"My soul power has increased by at least ten days' worth of cultivation!"

The sea dragon tendon itself contains abundant energy, but the cooking methods and seasonings are absolutely top-notch, maximizing its effects.

"The effects are most noticeable the first time you consume this level of rare and precious herbs. Eat up, I've saved some for you."

Xu Yuan nodded, looking at the remaining sea dragon tendons, his eyes filled with fighting spirit.

The meal took three hours to finish.

Xu Yuan's soul power increased significantly, which was at least equivalent to the gains he made in a month of meditation.

Mu Ye had a deep understanding of Qi and blood. When Xu Yuan ate the first piece of muscle, he was observing Xu Yuan's body's ability to withstand it, and the part he left for Xu Yuan was exactly what Xu Yuan could digest.

After Xu Yuan finished eating and completely refined the last of the sea dragon tendons, Mu Ye immediately stepped forward and gave Xu Yuan a hard tap on the shoulder.

A powerful surge of soul energy rushed into Xu Yuan's body through his acupoints.

Xu Yuan wasn't flustered; instead, he was curious.

Xu Yuan was curious to sense the movement of Mu Ye's soul power, as Mu Ye had no motives to harm him.

"Huh!" Mu Ye exclaimed in surprise, "Good lad, you've already circulated your soul power."

Moreover, sensing the general flow of soul power, the path is quite complex, a cyclical path that complements top-tier meditation techniques.

While surprised, Mu Ye continued to press on various acupoints on Xu Yuan's body.

Powerful streams of soul energy surged into Xu Yuan's body through his acupoints.

After Mu Ye finished, Xu Yuan felt that the powerful soul force that had entered his body immediately formed a whole, as if it was sealing something inside him.

"This is a secret technique of the Body Sect. I sealed your blood and qi with my soul power. Of course, it doesn't mean that your blood and qi cannot grow or that you cannot cultivate, but that you cannot settle down in the short term."

Unable to settle?

"For the next month, I will prepare various rare and precious herbs for you to increase your Qi and blood. Your body certainly cannot absorb them all. If all this energy settles down, it will certainly become your foundation, but it will also greatly affect the efficiency of your Qi and blood cultivation. Now, with the help of a secret method, the energy cannot settle down and will keep floating on the surface. Although a lot will dissipate, it can also nourish your Qi and blood to the maximum extent and build the best foundation for you."

Xu Yuan nodded knowingly.

understood.

The secret to spending real money!

Muye looked at Xu Shengqun.

Xu Shengqun was speechless.

What kind of look is that?

Are you trying to kick me out?

Can't I spend more time with my nephew?

"This is the basics of marksmanship. Practice hard this month. If you don't understand something, you can ask your teacher. He should be able to guide you. I'll come to pick you up in a month." Xu Shengqun wasn't angry. He took out a prepared booklet and handed it to Xu Yuan.

"Uncle, don't worry, I will definitely cultivate diligently."

Xu Shengqun patted Xu Yuan's head, nodded, and then left.

After Xu Shengqun left, Mu Ye was also surprised.

"Basic marksmanship?"

He looked at his obedient apprentice in surprise.

"Yes, my other martial soul is the Heavenly Origin Brush, which has the form of a brush-spear." Xu Yuan didn't hide anything.

Tianyuan Pen?

Pen gun?

Makino was very curious and immediately asked Xu Yuan to release it so he could see.

Xu Yuan nodded, and a flash of black and white light appeared on his right hand, revealing the Heavenly Origin Brush.

"Huh!" Zhenhua exclaimed in surprise.

Makino looked at his old friend with curiosity.

"Your martial spirit has quite a high affinity with heaven and earth."

As a master craftsman who had undergone countless Heavenly Forgings and endured countless Tribulations of Lightning, Zhenhua had the clearest perception of the power of heaven and earth. He clearly sensed the changes in the surrounding天地元气 (heaven and earth elemental energy) the moment Xu Yuan's Heavenly Yuan Brush appeared.

"That's right. In its normal form, my Heavenly Origin Brush can also help my soul power merge with the primordial energy of heaven and earth to form ink."

As he spoke, Xu Yuan began to demonstrate.

"Your ability isn't just about creating ink and brush." ​​Seeing that Xu Yuan had developed this ability quite well, even controlling ink and brush to explode remotely and cause secondary damage, Zhen Hua was surprised and offered his advice.

Xu Yuan looked over curiously.

"It's just a simple fusion of the primordial energy of heaven and earth to form ink and brush, but what if it involves attributes?" Zhenhua prompted.

Xu Yuan suddenly realized that he understood Zhenhua's meaning.

"You mean, if I have a soul spirit with elemental control abilities, then my Heavenly Origin Brush can inherit elemental control soul skills and condense elemental power of the corresponding attribute?"

Zhenhua nodded and then shook his head.

"That's not all."
