Chapter 1084: Chapter 1084: Bloodline Burning

Xiuxiu glanced at Lan Xuanyu, pursed her lips, but said no more.

Huang Daoqi continued, “Although Body Refining is the basic step, it is also the most difficult one among the three steps of Dragon Knight Cultivation. Quenching requires Flame, and the Flame used in our Dragon Clan’s Body Refining comes from ‘Burning Bloodline!’”

“Burning Bloodline?” Lan Xuanyu was taken aback upon hearing this. “If the bloodline burns, wouldn’t that kill you?”

“Normally, yes. However, when you cultivate in the Dragon Power Hall, you don’t have to worry about that issue.” Huang Daoqi smiled slightly and said, “Burning Bloodline makes the bloodline boil, thereby unleashing the most powerful and purest strength within our dragon bloodline. This strength naturally refines our bodies, making us much stronger. However, the process is extremely dangerous because if the quenching is excessive, it can cause severe injury or even death; if it is insufficient, the speed of improvement will be slow. Therefore, this step is the most difficult to surpass. The practice of Dragon Power Refining is a lifelong endeavor for any member of the Dragon Clan. Even for Lord Dragon Knights, the current method of cultivation remains Body Refining, continually burning the bloodline to refine the body, making oneself more resilient and thus stronger. This enhancement happens from the outside in.”

Lan Xuanyu frowned slightly, from the outside in? He knew, ever since he was young, that the Mysterious Heaven Method he learned worked from the inside out—starting by cultivating Soul Power and then using it to nourish the body to enhance personal strength.

This Cultivation Method of Dragon Knights is from the outside in?

“Father, if we cultivate from the outside in, won’t the internal organs suffer?” Xiuxiu asked, voicing the doubt they both shared.

“This is indeed the most important issue in Body Refining,” said Huang Daoqi. “Our Dragon Power Hall has three major benefits. The first is that it directs Dragon Power for us to absorb. The second, which is the most critical, is that it allows us to extinguish our bloodline flame at any time during the refining process, thereby interrupting it. That means, during your cultivation, if you feel that your body cannot withstand the quenching by the bloodline flame, you can immediately stop, thus avoiding severe injuries. The third function is that it directs Dragon Power to protect the internal organs. Once your Body Refining reaches a certain level, the strength of your body will drive the evolution of your internal organs, making them stronger from the outside in.”

Huang Daoqi’s words were a revelation for both Lan Xuanyu and Xiuxiu. Such a method of cultivation was unheard of, completely opposite to that of the human world.

In the human world of cultivation, even the most desperate individuals would not think of igniting their own bloodline to refine themselves. Igniting the bloodline, just like igniting life force, brings about powerful strength in the short term, but once both the bloodline and life energy burn out, death follows immediately.

Yet, on the Sky Dragon Planet, the Method of Dragon Knight Cultivation does the exact opposite, using such suicidal enhancement as a method of cultivation to refine oneself.

After some thought, Lan Xuanyu understood the rationale behind it. The biggest difference between the Sky Dragon Planet and Douluo Planet was the vast life energy here. After the body was quenched by burning the bloodline, a massive replenishment of life energy was essential. Naturally, the higher the level of required life energy, the better. While this was difficult to achieve on Douluo Planet, it was possible here.

There was also what Huang Daoqi mentioned about replenishing Dragon Power. This Dragon Power, being pure bloodline power, could be absorbed by any dragon regardless of its attributes. Refine and replenish simultaneously. After consumption, it could also repair and protect. Hence this peculiar method of cultivation existed.

It was truly a revelation—a big revelation, indeed! Lan Xuanyu merely wondered whether, if this method were applied to human Soul Masters, a similar method of cultivation could be developed.

Huang Daoqi continued, “Now, I will teach you the basic method of Body Refining. When you start trying it, be very careful and do not be reckless. It’s better to refine slowly and be able to stop in time. Definitely, do not suffer severe injuries. After all, the trauma caused by bloodline burning is extremely difficult to repair.”

There and then, Huang Daoqi began to explain the Cultivation Method of Dragon Power Refining for Dragon Knights and the correct usage of the Dragon Power Hall to them both.

This method of cultivation was actually not complicated; the most important part was the Dragon Power Hall. Without the Dragon Power Hall, it was impossible to perform the Dragon Power Refining cultivation.

Huang Daoqi advised them that after practicing the Body Refining once in the Dragon Power Hall, they should rest for seven days before continuing. This cycle should be repeated. As long as they were cultivating, other family members would not disturb them. The Dragon Power Hall was for their use only.

“You can start trying today. Before you start, eat this,” said Huang Daoqi, while a flash of light in his hand revealed a box.

It was a box that looked like jade, emitting a faint red halo that flickered on and off like a living thing.

“What is this?” Bai Xiuxiu asked curiously. @@novelbin@@

Huang Daoqi smiled slightly and said, “Didn’t you just ask me what to do if the organs can’t be protected during cultivation? This is something good for protecting the organs.”

While speaking, he had already opened the jade box, revealing two fruits inside.

Only when the jade box was opened did Lan Xuanyu and Bai Xiuxiu realize that it was not the box itself that emitted the red glow, but rather the two red fruits inside.

They were two red fruits the size of fists, oval-shaped, appearing crystal clear, and beneath the red skin, one could vaguely see juice flowing inside. A faint warm aura emanated from them, extremely strange.

“What a great item! These are Dragon Soul Fruits!” Lan Xuanyu’s heart nearly burst with the voice of the Treasure Hunting Beast.

The Treasure Hunting Beast could seek all treasures, especially sensitive to heaven and earth treasures. But this was the first time Lan Xuanyu felt Ah Bao so excited. He immediately asked inwardly.

The Treasure Hunting Beast said, “Master, the Dragon Soul Fruit was also a great item in our Divine Realm. However, it was extremely rare. Although the Dragon Soul Fruit in this guy’s hand doesn’t have an immortal aura and can’t be compared to the ones in our Divine Realm, they are definitely real Dragon Soul Fruits. Don’t be polite with him; eat it first.”

Since Huang Daoqi was still there and now was not the time to ask too many questions, Lan Xuanyu quickly took the Dragon Soul Fruits, handing one to Bai Xiuxiu and keeping one for himself.

“Just eat it directly,” Huang Daoqi reminded.

Lan Xuanyu did not hesitate and bit into the fruit. Instantly, a somewhat sour and slightly spicy juice flowed down his throat. But the next moment, Lan Xuanyu felt as if all the blood in his body was boiling. Even the Sea of Spirit seemed to brighten instantly. The Bloodline Whirlpool spun crazily, and who knows how many times more powerful it was than the last time when absorbing the Dragon Power in the Dragon Power Hall.

Seeing him eat, Bai Xiuxiu also took a bite. Instantly, her pretty face turned a deep red.

Lan Xuanyu ignored the changes in his body and quickly ate up the rest of the Dragon Soul Fruit.
