Ye Yun heaved a light sigh. The System had given him many robes as sign-in rewards, but most of them were for men. There were very few robes for women. The highest grade among them was Emperor Level, and there were also some beyond God Level, which Ye Yun felt were not appropriate to give out yet.
However, according to his experience, wearing an Emperor Level robe was enough to highlight the status of the Divine Dragon Sect Sect Master.
With a light stomp of his foot, Ye Yun and Luo Li appeared halfway up the mountain, far away from the graves. Then, with a light swipe of his hand, a clear stream of water immediately cascaded down from the heavens.
"Have a wash first!" Ye Yun gestured with his hand, setting up a shielding formation.
In an instant, he and Luo Li could no longer see each other.
Luo Li was no fool; she immediately understood her Ancestor's kind intentions. "Thank you, Ancestor!" Luo Li said gratefully, then ran to the small, waterfall-like stream of water, quickly removed her clothes, and rinsed off the impurities covering her body.
Ye Yun turned his back. Despite the formation, he still maintained his dignity as an Ancestor. After all, they were separated by so many generations; how could he have the leisure to peep at that soot-covered little girl?
Very soon, Luo Li's voice came from inside. "Ancestor, I've finished washing. Please open the formation!"
Ye Yun was slightly stunned, then understood. Luo Li, who had survived for many years while constantly being hunted, was not as prone to dawdling as an ordinary woman. He withdrew the formation and also dispelled the waterfall he had created with mana.
Luo Li, now dressed in an exquisite goose-yellow robe, stood before him like a blooming water lily. This sight made Ye Yun's eyes light up.
This girl isn't ugly; on the contrary, she's quite beautiful. Her skin is like jade, her features delicate, her eyes and brows picturesque, and her figure graceful. She could be considered a top-tier beauty. According to Ye Yun's standards, she definitely counted as an exceptional beauty.
With such a Divine Dragon Sect Sect Master, she can indeed hold her own... Ye Yun praised in his heart.
His body shivered slightly as his cultivation base improved from the First Level of the True God Realm to the Second Level.
The Ancestral Dragon Essence Blood is indeed powerful. Ye Yun estimated that once he completely absorbed the energy of the Ancestral Dragon Essence Blood, he would at least be able to reach the Tenth Layer of the True God Realm.
"Luo Li, your Dragon God Bloodline is so diluted. Is it because the sect no longer has any Divine Dragon Essence Blood?" Ye Yun suddenly asked.
"Yes!" Luo Li's face darkened. "The 250th Sect Master was in charge of the Divine Dragon Essence Blood. After he died, our Dragon God Sect no longer had any Divine Dragon Essence Blood to use!"
"What a bastard!" Ye Yun cursed. If that bastard descendant were still alive, Ye Yun would definitely slap him to death.
"Luo Li, you don't need to worry. The current dilution of your Dragon God Bloodline is actually a good thing, as I can now give you Ancestral Dragon Essence Blood!"
"What? Ancestral Dragon Bloodline?" Hearing her Ancestor's words, Luo Li was so shocked her jaw almost dropped to the ground.
Ancestor Dragon! That's the ancestor of the Divine Dragons! How precious would that Essence Blood be? Luo Li dared not imagine.
As she was reeling from shock, Ye Yun had already produced a large wooden basin, fully five meters in diameter. He then took out a small porcelain vial and tipped it into the basin. Instantly, the entire basin filled with red blood.
"AH!" Luo Li trembled all over, screaming as she fell to her knees. Her diluted Dragon God Bloodline reacted to the oppressive Ancestral Dragon Bloodline in the wooden basin, and she lost control of her body.
The Ancestral Dragon Essence Blood is terrifying... But how could there be so much Ancestral Dragon Essence Blood?
Luo Li recalled the records within the sect: even a direct disciple of the Dragon God Sect could only consume one drop of Divine Dragon Essence Blood. Even an unrivaled prodigy personally nurtured by the Sect Leader could only consume at most three drops of Divine Dragon Essence Blood.
But what was in the wooden basin before her... There had to be hundreds of thousands of drops... And this is all legendary Ancestral Dragon Essence Blood! It's so precious that even if all the Divine Dragon Essence Blood in the sect's stores during the time the Ancestor was alive were added up, it would not be as precious as a single drop of Ancestral Dragon Essence Blood!
AAAHHH! Luo Li felt like she was going mad!
Luo Li, her mind reeling in shock, shook her head repeatedly. "Ancestor, this is too wasteful! One drop is enough for me!"
Ye Yun rubbed his temples, a look of exasperation on his face. What was this mere basinful of Ancestral Dragon Essence Blood? Just now, he had swallowed a bottle of Ancestral Dragon Essence Blood, a volume as large as a small lake. And the Ancestral Dragon Essence Blood in his storage was simply too numerous to count. But Ancestral Dragon Essence Blood could only promote cultivation base growth to a certain extent when used for the first time to improve physique and activate bloodline. A second use would only increase bloodline concentration. Once the concentration exceeded one hundred percent, Ancestral Dragon Essence Blood would have no further effect.
Luo Li was still kneeling, gazing at the crystal-clear Essence Blood that radiated a surging Ancestral Dragon's Breath, shaking her head and pleading, "Ancestor, one drop is enough for me! This large basin of Ancestral Dragon Essence Blood... I'm afraid I can't withstand it all!"
Ye Yun lowered his head. He touched his chin and muttered to himself, "Hmm... that's true. Haste makes waste. I was a bit too eager. After all, your cultivation realm is still too low, and your foundation is too weak..."
"Yes, yes, Ancestor, you're absolutely right!" Luo Li quickly nodded.
Looking at this little girl, her delicate little face, her eyes shining with a strong will to survive, Ye Yun couldn't help but smile gently. "Alright then, I'll give you one drop of Ancestral Dragon Essence Blood first. As for the rest, I'll store it for you. You can take it periodically in the future to continuously increase the concentration of the bloodline in your body!"
Ye Yun flicked his finger, transferring the Ancestral Dragon Essence Blood from the wooden basin into an empty vial, then tossed it to Luo Li.
Luo Li was taken aback, her small face suddenly turning pale. Carry so much Ancestral Dragon Essence Blood with her? How could she, a mere Eighth Layer Gathering Qi Realm cultivator, be qualified for such a treasure?
"Ancestor, could you keep it for me, please?" Luo Li, looking embarrassed, handed the small vial back to Ye Yun.
"Alright then!" Seeing the little girl's apprehension, Ye Yun felt a bit helpless. He used his finger to draw out a single drop of Ancestral Dragon Essence Blood and let it float to Luo Li's mouth.
Luo Li opened her mouth and swallowed it, then immediately sat cross-legged. She began to absorb and refine it using the Dragon's Heart Method, unique to the Dragon God Sect.
In just a few seconds, the Super Divine Dragon Breath around Luo Li suddenly changed, and she broke through to the Ninth Layer of the Gathering Qi Realm.
A few dozen seconds later, Luo Li broke through to the Tenth Layer of the Gathering Qi Realm.
Mysterious Elixir Stage First Layer!
Mysterious Elixir Stage Second Layer!
Mysterious Elixir Stage Third Layer!
...
Her cultivation continued to surge, reaching the Mysterious Elixir Stage Ninth Layer, and then the Mysterious Elixir Stage Tenth Layer.
Next came the Yuanhai Realm First Layer.
Yuanhai Realm Second Layer.
...
Having swallowed this one drop of Ancestral Dragon Essence Blood, Luo Li's Super Divine Dragon Breath became increasingly powerful; her cultivation base broke through successive barriers, advancing with incredible speed.
Seeing this, Ye Yun nodded with satisfaction. This drop of Ancestral Dragon Essence Blood is indeed extraordinary. Unfortunately, 100,000 years ago, this type of Ancestral Dragon Essence Blood was considered legendary; the entire Dragon God Sect possessed none. Ye Yun also wanted to see what realm this little girl, Luo Li, could break through to with this single drop of Ancestral Dragon Essence Blood.
The Super Divine Dragon Breath erupting from Luo Li was like a volcano. This continued until she reached the Yuanhai Realm Tenth Layer, at which point the eruptive momentum finally ceased.
Luo Li opened her eyes. She looked at Ye Yun, her face alight with pleasant surprise, and said in a trembling voice, "Ancestor, my cultivation base... it's reached the Yuanhai Realm Tenth Layer!"
