Dragon Raja: Lu Mingfei's Dimensional Gate

Lu Mingfei took out the living core from his room.

This thing was taken from the original self-cultivation furnace.

He often used Qi to nourish himself and prevent himself from "starving to death".

But as time went on, this living mass of flesh and blood began to undergo unexpected changes. Perhaps because Lu Mingfei fed it a lot of Qi each time, it actually began to grow, expanding from the size of a human abdomen.

The surface even has fine, scaly textures, which is puzzling.

He took the core deep underground.

Perhaps Norton and Donald reached an agreement, making peace with themselves.

Old Tang flipped through the Divine Machine Hundred Refinements with a mournful face.

Upon seeing Lu Mingfei arrive, she immediately rushed over and hugged Lu Mingfei's legs.

"Mingfei, you have to save me! That guy Norton wants me to learn alchemy. If I don't learn it, he'll never let me out again. Can you get rid of him?"

Only two hours had passed between Lu Mingfei's departure and his return, and the "two" had already successfully negotiated.

That's really fast.

"Isn't that good? At least we'll still have the ability to earn a living and won't be bossed around by others." Although Lu Mingfei didn't understand what Norton was planning, he didn't intend to harm Old Tang at the moment.

"But he said that learning this thing requires at least ten years and there's no upper limit. Ten years is going to kill me!" Old Tang grabbed Lu Mingfei's leg tightly, letting Lu Mingfei lead him step by step to the Dragon Blood Cultivation Furnace.

“It is indeed a long time, but for you, ten years is just a blink of an eye. You can live a very, very long time.” Lu Mingfei placed the core on the table.

After Old Tang awakened, he could be described as a human-shaped Dragon King, only he wasn't very skilled at using his power.

Dragons have very long lifespans; as long as they are not killed, they can live for thousands of years.

"Can I really live that long?"

You must believe in yourself.

"Can I do it? I've only ever seen alchemy on TV..." Old Tang was deeply skeptical.

"You can do it, give it a try."

"......All right."

Old Tang stood up, patted away the non-existent soil, raised his head again, and his eyes turned into a dazzling gold.

Lu Mingfei knew this was Norton's top number.

Perhaps they couldn't stand seeing Old Tang's pathetic state.

"Is this the core?" Norton's voice was calm and clear, without the mournful tone and loud voice that Old Tang had displayed earlier.

Norton held it in his hand, fiddling with the core, and was even more surprised by the rapid pulsation within it.

"These are human internal organs? And they've undergone dragon blood transformation? How did you manage to make human internal organs survive independently and even undergo dragon blood transformation?"

Norton immediately became interested. He had never seen this before. Although dragons are known for their strong vitality and can survive even if their hearts are pierced, if their organs are removed and stored separately, their internal organs will gradually lose their vitality, and the dragon king will also be severely injured or even die.

The thing that Lu Mingfei took out was nothing short of a miracle to him.

"I obtained this by chance. It's very rare and you could say it's one of a kind in the world. Is it qualified to be the core of the Dragon Blood Cultivation Furnace?" Lu Mingfei modified the core's parameters to ensure that it could slowly adapt when put inside.

“Yes…” Norton continued making the remaining parts of the Dragon Blood Body Refining Furnace, “and this core is also adaptable. It has already begun to transform into a dragon. Given enough time, it can completely transform into a pile of internal organs with dragon blood, at which point its power will be even greater.”

"That's too long, let's just do it now."

Lu Mingfei put down everything he was doing and stood quietly to the side.

Many strangely shaped metals floated in front of Norton, and were quickly scorched and severely deformed. A ball of fiery red liquid metal flowed in the air, being shaped into angular parts at a speed visible to the naked eye.

This powerful ability to control fire and metal made Lu Mingfei envious.

He remembered that he still possessed the Mirror Eye, an ability that could replicate abilities. This ability was based on dragon blood, and the shimmering eyes when activated were the best proof of that.

A few hours later, Norton finished the last part.

He watched Lu Mingfei wait for his decision: whether to go in and choose to become a person without dragon blood, or just say it casually.

An interesting person's choices will also be interesting, and witnessing their choices firsthand is also very interesting.

"I wanted to invite Lu Mingze out to see the disappearance of the Dragon Blood, but I doubt he'll show up here. If he meets someone from his former generation or a junior, there will inevitably be a lot of small talk, and they might even end up fighting to the death," Lu Mingfei thought to himself.

Step into the self-cultivation furnace and wait for the furnace door to close.

Norton acted quickly, closing the door and activating the Dragon Blood Cultivation Furnace in his own way.

The vibrations and roar of the massive machine starting up reverberated throughout the room.

A dazzling white light shone from the cultivation furnace.

The body-cultivation furnace operated for several hours before stopping, seemingly due to overheating.

Norton waited curiously for the changes in the Dragon Blood Cultivation Furnace.

With a click, the furnace door opened.

Lu Mingfei pushed open the door and walked out. He frowned, carefully examined his body, and kept staring, as if trying to summon something.

Then he exerted force with his palms, as if trying to grasp fate.

"Failed?" Norton asked, noticing Lu Mingfei's strange behavior. As a master alchemist, he was incapable of creating a failed work; the word "failure" had never appeared in his vocabulary.

Failure is an insult to him.

"No, on the contrary, it was very successful." Lu Mingfei's furrowed brows relaxed.

He tried to activate his Mirror Eyes, but the result was obvious: he just stared wide-eyed like a madman. He also tried to unleash his Bloodlust, but that also failed.

I could feel some power slowly dissipating, as if it had disappeared from this world.

The dragon blood disappeared from his body.

That sense of alienation from the world slowly disappeared. Rather than disappearing, it was more like the mindset influenced by the dragon blood gradually calmed down, giving rise to a new idea: to reconcile with the world, or rather, to reconcile with oneself.

The world is not your own world; it will not favor anyone. But you can have your own world, where you can accept those you like or reject those you dislike.

When he looks back on the past, everything is vivid in his mind, as if it all happened yesterday.

Gradually, I came to understand another meaning and another feeling from those memories.

Perhaps this is what growing up means for him.

Lu Mingfei laughed, a very happy laugh. It was the first time in his life he had laughed so happily, as if the smile that had been suppressed for more than ten years was being released at this moment.

Norton truly couldn't see through Lu Mingfei; despite having lost the source of his power, he was still as happy as a fool.

"Norton, perhaps no one has ever thanked you, but I still want to thank you sincerely now."

"Without you, I might not have been able to achieve my goals, so I am very grateful to you and thank you for your help."

Norton was taken aback. This kid who was just grinning foolishly suddenly wanted to thank him. His serious attitude and expression stirred up a strange melancholy in Norton's heart. The Dragon King was lonely and proud, and did not need anyone's thanks.

He turned around and nodded slightly.

“Hmm.” He then said, “This is nothing more than a transaction between you and me.”

"Okay, deal, but the deal isn't done yet." Lu Mingfei stretched his limbs, as if he was getting used to his new body.

"I'm curious, how will you kill the other dragon kings and stop Nidhogg's invasion now that you've lost your power?"

Lu Mingfei opened his arms, and the Dragon-Slaying Platform in the distance flew directly to him and was firmly caught.

"?!" Norton's eyes widened slightly.

Lu Mingfei has lost his dragon blood, so how did he manage to make the alchemical weapon fly into his hands?

Moreover, how could the spirits within an alchemical weapon recognize a human without dragon blood?

This is completely illogical and defies common sense.

That makes absolutely no sense.

"If I didn't have some confidence, I would have really been taken advantage of by that guy. If he controls my only source of power, he controls my lifeline. If he wants me dead, it's just a matter of arranging it." Lu Mingfei thought.

But he wouldn't say that; instead, he said something rather pretentious.

“A little trickery is nothing to be surprised about, nothing to be surprised about.”

As he spoke, his nose almost reached the sky.

"A little trick?" Norton didn't sense any fluctuations in elemental power.

Or perhaps they didn't sense any fluctuations from the flames or the metallic elements.

I did sense something else, something like a spiritual element. How could someone use such powerful energy without dragon blood?

Norton felt he had never encountered such an unreasonable person, such a strange person, such an incomprehensible person, so...

He wondered if, during his many years of slumber, human society had developed incredibly powerful weapons capable of effectively striking dragons like them.

He even developed a need to understand human society, and the motivation for all of this came from Lu Mingfei, this incomprehensible human being.

Lu Mingfei can now be considered human.

“Norton, you can’t leave here now. Firstly, because of your identity as the Dragon King, and secondly, because I don’t trust you. If you want anything, you can ask Old Tang or tell the delivery person yourself, and they will bring it to you next time they deliver.”

Norton nodded slightly.

He really needs to understand the society that Lu Mingfei is currently living in.

As the saying goes, "Know yourself and know your enemy, and you will win every battle."

Lu Mingfei left the depths of the underground; he still had matters to attend to.

The Dragon Blood Refining Furnace can only be used to extract the dragon blood of hybrids, and he is not worried about what Norton will use it for.

This is part of my own transaction details.

......

This time, Lu Mingfei arrived at the depths of another forbidden area.

It's dark and damp here, making people very uncomfortable.

Before the enormous alchemical matrix, Lu Mingfei sat cross-legged, gazing at Li Wuyue in the center of the matrix.

"Long time no see. Although it's only been a few days, it feels like a long time to me."

Li Wuyue didn't want to talk to Lu Mingfei; his mouth was like it was poisoned.
