Looking at those numbers Zong Shou was still a little hesitant. After a short while, he finally curbed the urge of adding a few more strokes.

Forget it, it was better to be a little more generous. This number was suitable. It wasn’t so high to scare people away, but it was also still hard to obtain.

He held the sword. Within the building, millions of sword shadows started to spread out.

Although he didn’t make use of internal energy or sword energy, dragon shadows appeared behind his back. Their shape wasn’t fixed and their colors were weird.

Recording down the 9 books of true dragon sword energy was also a consolidation of what he comprehended. Some things he hadn’t noticed and the exquisite secrets he hadn’t comprehended was found out when he wrote down the incantations one by one.

Some of them clicked swiftly in his head like water flowing into a river, whilst some were memorized by him for future comprehension.

At this moment every time the sword light in Zong Shou’s hand reached its peak, the dragon shadow behind him would become a little more real.

Finally, he stabbed out 3 consecutive swords, the nine dragon shadows roared out. He didn’t use any true qi, but the spiritual energy directed by the sword caused a hundred feet thick sandalwood table in front of him to be cut into pieces!

This was also after Zong Shou purposely controlled, not letting the sword light spread to the bookshelves to the side!

The final 3 swords were the true core of the nine dragon shadow sword-the stack word!

When all the sword shadows were retracted, Zong Shou frowned.

“I can only stack 3 stances?”

He originally thought that after writing the techniques of the nine true dragon sword techniques into a book, what he gained should be much higher.

Following which he laughed involuntarily, knowing that he craved for too much. Below the ascended realm, no more than 3 people could stack as he did!

And the situation just now seemed to happen not because he hadn’t comprehended the nine dragon shadow sword sufficiently, but because his body was not strong enough and was unable to support it. A lot of his movement and sword technique went out of form when they connected—which was why he was unable to stack in the next sword stance.

Looking into his soul ocean once more, he had already formed 70 of the true spiritual charms. In just a few more days he could try to form the stack word true spiritual talisman.

Giving a satisfied smile, Zong Shou kept his sword. Then he picked up the little bottle and pill recipe that Xuanyuan Yiren left behind before she left.

Within the little bottle were those few drops of spirit salamander blood. Xuanyuan Yiren used only a little bit, after diluting it to try to refine the pills. Since she returned this o him, it seemed like this item was useless apart from making the spirit salamander essence blood pill.

Zong Shou thought about it and took one of the drops out, dropping it onto his left arm, into the body of Little Gold. Only to see that layer of soft armor covering his left arm start to have a ripple-like movement.

It continuously shook, a full hour passed before it slowly recovered. However, the color of the outer skin temporarily changed from the original silver-white with golden lines to fresh red.

Just as Zong Shou wanted to drop in another drop of it in, Little Gold violently shook, an intent anxiously moving towards Zong Shou, like it was telling him, “Even if I die I don’t want it. I am about to die, don’t hurt Little Gold’.

Zong Shou was helpless. He thought that this little fellow was already at its limit. Within its stomach, it had just digested 2 drops of true dragon blood. To let him merge with this saint realm blood was a little inappropriate.

He didn’t persist, however, was he just going to do nothing with this remaining drop of spirit salamander blood?

Then he had an idea and took out the ant queen egg. This item was something that he didn’t have to have but it would be a waste for him to give up on it.

He didn’t want it, but he wanted to give it to the few closer people beside him to act as a spiritual pet. However, when Xuanyuan Yiren, Chuxue, and the others heard that it was the demon crystal ant they all shook their head unwillingly.

If he gave it to other people he wasn’t at ease. He didn’t dare to even sell such a top grade spiritual pet. In his territory in Donglin Cloud Continent, he would probably give rise to a strong enemy.

Squinting his eyes and hesitating for a moment, Zong Shou decided to use the heaven swallowing energy conversion technique to swallow and purify the drop of blood, turning it into a ball of light. Be it that vast essence energy or the portion of the origin seal of the spirit salamander, it mixed into a ball as he shot it into the egg without caring about anything.

In the next moment, he saw that egg violently shake. Successively there were signs of the eggshell cracking before just barely stopping.

In the end, when the egg became calm, its eggshell seemed to have become a little thicker.

The spiritual energy wave that it caused also slowly calmed down.

Zong Shou’s brows couldn’t help but rise, he could feel that this ant queen egg was still brimming with life.

However something had occurred, as for what change it was, was it good or bad, he didn’t know.

With that, it had instead added some uncertainty, he also didn’t dare to give it to people close to him.

Who knows what thing would appear after this egg hatches? Or could one say what monster? Would it still be the demon fire ant queen?

His brows frowning. He first packed the ant queen egg in an exquisite little box before placing it into a heaven and earth bag.

No matter what changes happened, anyways he had no time and mind to keep it as a spirit pet and hatch it.

Since that was the case, no matter what happens to it, it had nothing to do with him.

Then he looked at the pill recipe. Maybe Xuanyuan Yiren knew how rich he was, which was when she made the recipe she didn’t care about the price. Inside, just a few materials alone used up to 50 grade 7 beast crystals.

However, if they used this recipe to make the pill, the medicine would be gentle and the poison would reduce.

Just now he had tried one and estimated that if one exceeds 400 of them, it would still affect future progress. As compared to the previous version of the spirit salamander blood essence pill it was still much stronger.

As for the price Zong Shou didn’t care at all. Only his gaze was a little annoyed.

For pill refining, he only needed to give the recipe to Ruoshui and the hidden guards would find reliable people to craft it.

On the side of Gu Liekong, there was some progress too. He had already found the little island he instructed and the number of dragon horn winged horses they captured number a hundred. They would be able to make the journey back in no time.

Now, everything was prepared and just the spark was needed. He just needed a suitable cavalry commander. Not only must it be someone he trusted, but they needed to be extremely talented in the martial path. Did he have to select Zong Yuan?

Just as Zong Shou thought about that, his eyes turned red, his body was suddenly covered in a blood mist, boiling and flipping non-stop. Suddenly a drop of blood seeped out from his palm.

It had the vast pressure from the blood of the spirit salamander but it also seemed a little weird and unusual.

It seemed like a red-colored jade pearl, totally transparent and cleanly cut, like it was filled with shocking power, causing the surrounding energy to surge and flip, the spiritual energy to move. He fixed his eyes on it, it could cause all kinds of tempting feelings to rise, the violence and killing intent in one’s chest to rise.

This was a seed, or more accurately this was the spirit seed for the heart technique of the blood cloud cavalry blood cavalry kill.

The people in the past only knew that the blood cloud cavalry of Wulie Country was invincible—that blood cavalry kill was one of the strongest support techniques and combined war techniques.

However, very few people knew that not only could this heart technique cause one to have a blood maniac killing intent that rose up when one cultivated it—it could also control one’s mind.

Which was why all the blood cloud cavalry of Wulie Country were famous for being loyal and no one ever betrayed.

When the Wulie Country king and all the cavalry died in battle, none of them survived, it resulted in the heart technique of this blood cavalry kill to be lost. It wasn’t until 7 thousand years later when the ruins of the Wulie Country was found did this technique appear in the world once more.

And the cultivation method of this technique was extremely weird.

During the Wulie Country era, the king family of the country would cultivate a suitable seed and give it to the commander. The latter would also cultivate seeds and hand them to the generals under him. Like that, layer by layer, until the bottom layer of the blood cloud cavalry, the most basic soldiers.

One could directly hand down the seeds which was spiritual blood, allowing the person to quickly train in the blood cavalry kill to an extremely high level and cultivate killing path martial intent.

Most important was this 1st drop of spiritual blood. Passable spiritual blood was tough to find. Blood cavalry kill focused on the killing path, if one didn’t have enough comprehension on it, one wouldn’t be able to succeed. Which was why the people in the king family of Wulie Country who could develop this passable blood maniac spiritual blood was often the person who inherited the throne. Moreover, they all loved to kill and loved to battle, there had been no exceptions.

Luckily in the last life, he was well versed in the killing path sword intent. Although he didn’t specially cultivate it, but be it in real life or the virtual environment, he had so much blood on his hands.

During the battle with Li Yaling, he also had some comprehension.

However, it was also not easy to find a suitable successor to the spiritual blood when it was formed.

The cultivation method like blood cavalry kill wasn’t just to control the subordinates. People who cultivated the killing path would often lose control due to the killing path intent and lose their mind.

For example, Li Yaling where it wasn’t the man controlling the sword but the sword controlling the man.

As for the blood cloud cavalry, they pushed this burden to the upper layers. As long as the commander and generals weren’t controlled by the killing intent, all the subordinates would be able to maintain a clear head.

This was why at this moment he had prepared everything, the matters of Gantian Mountain were all dealt with appropriately. Even if he left for 1.5 years it was okay. However just this last step he was unable to complete it. He couldn’t put down his worries to go to the common people path vast habitat to cultivate.

Just as he was laughing bitterly to himself and kept the spiritual blood, Zong Shou’s heart suddenly moved as he saw Chuxue walk in from outside.

After she entered her face was filled with a smile, “Young master guess who returned?”

Zong Shou couldn’t be bothered to reply, directly looking at the door. Following which he saw a majestic looking person step in. He was 9 feet tall, his aura was still strong and magnificent. However, as compared to a year ago there was more of a suppressive aura. His square face was expressionless.

After seeing Zong Shou he finally smiled and bowed respectfully.

“Uncle Yin?”

Zong Shou’s instantly felt his mood relax, the muscles around his body also loosened up. This Yin Yang had finally rushed back.

And when he sized up Yin Yang, his eyes constricted.

Earth chakra 7 meridians!

Not only that, at this moment his body had more mysteries, things that he couldn’t see through. There was also a pale bloody aura which surged towards his nose.
