Dragon Raja: Starting with Summoning Erii

On this day, Xia Mu finally mastered all the knowledge.

"This system is garbage! It just lies to me!"

He couldn't help but complain.

[System notification: This is a beginner-level alchemy technique. Even at its peak, it can only produce third-grade pills.]

Xia Mu: "..."

"They just won't admit I'm a genius! Tch!"

He gave the system a disdainful middle finger.

"Xiao Mu, what are you doing?"

Sakurai Kogure, dressed in a cherry blossom-colored kimono, brought his dinner.

As a result, he gave me the middle finger.

"I'm conducting an experiment."

Xia Mu looked very serious, and a dark red flame suddenly ignited on his middle finger with a "poof".

Sakurai Kogure paused, almost unable to resist taking a step back.

But then, with a soft "poof," the flame of his spirit was extinguished.

After fully mastering the principles of basic alchemy, he was able to burn his spiritual flame for about five minutes.

"call…"

Sakurai Kogure breathed a sigh of relief and carefully knelt down beside him to place the dishes.

"Xiao Mu, don't point that spiritual flame at me again next time," she said, still shaken. "I feel like I'll die if I get even a little bit on it."

"it is good."

Xia Mu readily agreed.

Now, he no longer has to worry about when she'll dominate him...

Because as soon as she suddenly regains her energy, she will run as far away as possible.

Unfortunately, he lacks dragon blood, so his mental recovery is very slow, lasting only five minutes a day.

"Your word of power has never been recorded. Although our bloodline originates from the gods and we have all awakened spiritual word of power, directly materializing the spirit is unheard of in the history of hybrid races."

Sakurai Kogure felt both envy and awe.

'This spiritual fire seems perfectly reasonable to them, as it belongs to the same spiritual power as the White King's lineage.'

Xia Mu looked blank, but her mind was racing.

'But Genjiro and Tachibana Masamune know about my Word of Power. As for the trial... should I force an explanation?'

“My power of words is not this; I just tried to ‘kill’ the state of nothingness of the spirit.”

Xia Mu said in a bewildered tone.

Telling Sakurai Kogure is equivalent to informing the king.

Although their explanation was somewhat vague, they didn't really know the proper usage of 'trial' anyway, so it wasn't a big problem.

"'Kill' the state of nothingness of the spirit?"

Sakurai Kogure has round eyes.

Next, let's look at the Blood Fusion Pill recipe.

Xia Mu ignored her and continued to analyze the pill formula while stuffing a pizza with meat chunks into his mouth.

His current food preferences are also aligning with Erii's, such as Gomoku fried rice, to avoid revealing any flaws in the details.

'The basic Blood Fusion Pill is made by fusing two types of blood with similar properties with spiritual fire; it seems quite simple.'

'but…'

Xia Mu touched his cheek.

'One is dragon bloodline, the purer the better; what's the other one?'

Was it that stroke of luck?

[System opportunity activated, fusion with exotic flames to advance bloodline. Acquisition channel is now open; host can enter when the channel is marked in purple.]

A silver-white door appeared in Xia Mu's mind.

'This is getting more and more mysterious…'

What does "purple channel marking" mean?

[When the source of bloodline enters a dream, the passage is marked in purple, allowing the host to enter the dream and acquire the bloodline through a spiritual means.]

Methods for using the spiritual fire flooded my mind.

Xia Mu sighed inwardly.

'Self-reliance leads to abundance.'

[Eri Uesugi initiates a summons.]

He paused for a moment, then looked up at Sakurai Kogure.

"Sister Xiaomu, I'm going out to play for a while and I'll be back."

Xia Mu greeted them politely and obediently, then vanished in a flash.

Sakurai Kogure: "..."

"Ding dong."

Just then, a soft sound came from the elevator.

Sakurai Kogure perked up and quickly got up to greet him.

Besides her, only Kazama Ruri has the authority to swipe her card here.

"grown ups."

He really was that elegant and beautiful man with a delicate, feminine charm.

"Uesugi isn't here?"

Ruri Kazama swept her arms around.

"He... just disappeared." Sakurai Kogure said with a hint of helplessness.

Kazama Ruri nodded and sat down: "That Xia Liyi is not simple. All the people we sent to capture her failed."

"Is that girl also of mixed race?" Sakurai Kogure asked attentively as she served him tea.

“Not only are they hybrids, but they’re also extremely aggressive,” Kazama Ruri shook her head. “What’s more troublesome is that the Execution Bureau, under the leadership of Genjiro, has gone mad, making it impossible for us to even travel abroad now.”

"He must value Uesugi wood a lot."

Sakurai Kogure glanced at him.

Kazama Ruri's expression indeed turned much uglier: "Hmph."

"You previously reported that the spirit of the cedar tree could be materialized?"

He seemed to realize something, a cold glint flashing in his eyes: "Are you sure? Similar to the Philosopher's Stone?"

Instead of answering rashly, Sakurai Kogure described what she had seen, especially the scene where Natsuki threatened her with the middle finger.

"Easy to control, simple and quick, and can be attached to the hand..."

A chilling golden glint flashed in Kazama Ruri's eyes: "As expected... no wonder the Snake-Headed Eight Families kept such a close watch on her..."

"Remember, don't tell the king about this." He suddenly looked at Sakurai Kogure.

"Yes."

Sakurai Kogure lowered her eyes and looked meek.

“Woman,” Kazama Ruri suddenly pulled her close, wrapping her arms around her waist and stroking her smooth cheek, “you’re still mine, aren’t you?”

Kogure lowered her eyes: "Kogure... will always belong to adults."

"Ah."

Kazama Ruri released her and stood up: "Do your best to keep Uesugi, make him mine, not the king's."

Sakurai Kogure watched his departing figure, a hint of sorrow flashing in her eyes.

"Yes."

She lowered her head.

Chapter Sixty: As long as I can slay dragons.

"Shh!"

In the dimly lit room, Xia Mu suddenly appeared.

"Mumu!"

Erii's surprised voice rang out.

Xia Mu turned his head and saw her running towards him barefoot on the floor, with a little duck on her head and wearing a red and white shrine maiden outfit that was half off.

He covered his eyes, genuinely exasperated: "Eri, why did you summon me again while I was getting ready to take a bath?"

Erii stopped in front of him and said "Oh," as if she had just realized that she had taken her clothes off halfway. She reached out and pulled her dress up to her shoulders, and then went to tug at Natsuki's fingers.

You haven't spoken to me for three days.

Xia Mu felt a lump in his throat when he heard the girl's little grievances.

He opened his eyes and saw his reflection in Erii's wine-red pupils, her gaze filled with an unyielding dependence.

Is this guy really that big?

Xia Mu couldn't help but laugh and reached out to pat her head: "Sorry, I've been researching something these past few days and just couldn't concentrate."
