He was cultivating the Nine Dragon Universal Circulation Technique. This technique not only gave Ye Xiao a very strong body but also let him form dragons.
After he created the first dragon, the Heaven Devouring Divine Dragon, he gained the ability to devour, and simultaneously, he also got an invincible foundation where no matter how much he devours or increases his strength by other means, his foundation will remain stable and strong.
But... Zhao Yufei and Zhao Qing'er were not Ye Xiao. The moment they made continuous breakthroughs, they felt their foundation weakening.
Ye Xiao wanted to let them increase their strength continuously but after seeing that their foundation started has to weaken, he decided to stop for a while and let the two girls stable their foundation. After that, he will once again give them the Water Spirit Herb and help them to increase their cultivation.
Ye asked told the name of some medicinal herbs to Zhao Yufei and Zhao Qing'er and told them to bring the medicinal herbs so that he can refine some pills for them to stable their foundation.
Both girls knew that Ye Xiao was the disciple of Grandmaster Wang who was the grandmaster of alchemy. They didn't doubt him in the slightest.
Zhao Yufei went to bring the medicinal herbs, leaving behind Ye Xiao and Zhao Qing'er alone in the room.
At this moment, Ye Xiao asked, "Qing'er, can you tell me why you asked for the drop of dragon's blood when we met for the first time."
Ye Xiao could feel the dragon's aura from Zhao Qing'er. Although this aura was very weak, it was still the dragon's aura after all.
Zhao Qing'er was stunned for a moment when she heard Ye Xiao. But then she nodded her head at him. Now that her relationship with Ye Xiao was completely different, she decided to tell Ye Xiao.
Zhao Qing'er said, "A year ago before the secret realm was open, my grandfather found a secret technique from an ancient ruin. This secret technique requires the dragon's blood to help one cultivate the dragon's aura. Because of the Dragon's Aura, I was able to save my life many times from some magical beasts of higher grade."
"Well, this secret technique has a total of three levels. The first level lets me cultivate the Dragon's Aura, the second level lets me cultivate the Dragon's Bloodline, and the third level lets me cultivate my body into that of a Dragon's Body."
"But the higher the level, the harder it becomes to cultivate. I am still at the first level and if I want to cultivate the Dragon's Aura to the peak, I need more dragon's blood. And if I can find the blood essence of a dragon, it will be much better. But until today, I was only able to find two drops of dragon's blood."
Zhao Qing'er explained everything to Ye Xiao. She told him why she wanted the drop of dragon's blood so much.
Ye Xiao was also shocked when he heard her. The Secret Technique that Zhao Qing'er was cultivating was really something. It basically let a human become a dragon.
First, the dragon's aura, the second is the dragon's bloodline, and the third is the dragon's body. From this alone, one can tell how marvellous the secret technique is that Zhao Qing'er was cultivating.
Ye Xiao thought something before contacting Little Yellow who was inside the Heavenly Pearl and was preparing to become an Immortal.
When Ye Xiao arrived at the Dragon Empire, he killed two dragons at that time and gave their dead bodies to Little Yellow. He wanted to ask if the corpse of the two dragons was still there or not.
Although Ye Xiao asked this, there was no hope in his heart. He knew that Little Yellow can also devour and she increases her strength by devouring the corpses of the Magical Beasts mostly. But to his surprise, Little Yellow replied him that there was still one of the two dragon's corpses was left.
Ye Xiao immediately became happy. The corpse that Little Yellow left was the corpse of the Lava Dragon. Ye Xiao looked at Zhao Qing'er and said, "Let's go to an open place after Yufei arrives. I have something to give you and I promise it is something that you want the most."
Although Zhao Qing'er was confused as she did not know what Ye Xiao was about to give her, she still nodded her head. Even if the thing given by Ye Xiao were to a normal rock, she will still treasure it.
Not long after, Zhao Yufei returned with the medicinal herbs that Ye Xiao told her to bring. An old man also came along with Zhao Yufei. This old man was the ancestor of the Imperial Family of the Grand Xia Empire and was at the First Stage of the Martial Saint Realm.
Previously, after leaving the room, Zhao Qing'er did not go to the medicinal room to get the medicinal herbs instead, she went to her grandfather ad told him about his return. She also showed her cultivation to the old man and then told him that Ye Xiao wants to refine some pills to let their foundation stabilize.
After telling everything to the old man, she went to take the medicinal herbs with her grandfather and then returned to the room. On her way here, she also told her grandfather that she and her sister has already confessed their love to Ye Xiao.
Knowing this, the old man became very happy. After the Secret Realm was closed, he told both of his granddaughters to try to win Ye Xiao's heart. He wanted them to form a relationship with Ye Xiao because he felt that his master was no normal person.
When Tong Nian revealed her terrifying aura to suppress everyone previously, at that time, he knew that Ye Xiao's master, Tong Nian, and her grandfather were not ordinary people. They are people with deep backgrounds and forming relationships with such people was like having the blessing of God.
That is the reason why he wanted his granddaughters to form a relationship with Ye Xiao. Although his motive behind all of this was his and his empire's profit, but Zhao Qing'er and Zhao Yufei's love for Ye Xiao was true.
Seeing the old man, Ye Xiao immediately greeted him. He knew who this old man was after old this old man was the one who opened the door of the Secret Realm previously.
The old man nodded his head in satisfaction after seeing Ye Xiao. He talked with Ye Xiao for some time before leaving.
After the old man left, Ye Xiao started to refine the medicinal pills for Zhao Yufei and Zhao Qing'er. After refining the pills, he gave them to both girls and let them consolidate their foundation.
The two girls swallowed the pill and started to consolidate their foundation. On the next day, the three of them arrived at a large empty area. After arriving here, Ye Xiao waved his hand and the corpse of the Lava Dragon appeared in front of them.
Seeing the corpse of the Lava Dragon, Zhao Yufei and Zhao Qing'er were shocked. With the amount of blood in the Lava Dragon's body, both Zhao Yufei and Zhao Qing'er could cultivate at least the First Level of the Secret Technique, the Dragon's Aura to its peak.
Both girls kept looking at the dragon's corpse with a dumbfounded gaze. Although it was the corpse of the dragon, it was still the first time when they saw a dragon. How can they not be shocked?
"Didn't I tell you that I will give you something that you want the most? Here is the corpse of a Lava Dragon. With the amount of blood in its body, it is not difficult for both of you to cultivate the Dragon's Aura to its peak." Ye smiled at Zhao Qing'er and said.
Previously, after telling Ye Xiao about the Secret Technique, Zhao Qing'er also told him that because of the lack of dragon blood, Zhao Yufei did not cultivate the Secret Technique. Now, both of them can cultivate it, and with Ye Xiao around, it was not impossible for them to cultivate the Secret Technique to its Third Level.
"Ye Xiao, thank you!" Both girls immediately expressed their thanks to Ye Xiao.
Ye Xiao shook his head and said, "There is no need to thank me. With our relationship now, there is no need to do such kind of formalities."
Zhao Yufei and Zhao Qing'er nodded their heads. Then they took out the blood of the Lava Dragon from its large body and stored all of them in their spatial ring. There was just too much blood. They also got a large amount of Lava Dragon's blood essence but they decided to use the blood essence to cultivate the Second Level of the Secret Technique.
After doing all of this, they started to cultivate the Dragon's Aura. Ye Xiao also sat down next to them and started to think of ways to evolve his dantian into a small world.
