Chapter 556: Chapter 550: Obtaining the Dragon Ball

The Dragon-Carving Flower and Martial Mushroom are indeed quite precious, but their value also depends on what resources they are compared to.

Compared to the Emperor’s Veneration Pill and the Vajradhara Vajrapani Sutra, the Dragon-Carving Flower and the Martial Mushroom can only be considered as second-rate treasures, and to put it more dramatically, just one Emperor’s Veneration Pill from the jade box could be exchanged for dozens, or even hundreds, of Martial Mushrooms.

When faced with huge profits, many Ghost Elites would even betray their own brothers. Dr. Jones was able to resist the temptation of the Emperor’s Veneration Pill and the Vajra Sutra, recognize his own strength, and choose the less valuable resource, which ensures he will become a great figure in the future!

Thinking of this, Theodore Lindwood’s gaze towards David Jones became even more gentle.

He truly admired someone like David Jones who knew when to advance or retreat, not like those brutes who only had strength and lusted after benefits.

Consequently, Theodore Lindwood promptly said, “This Prince will now order the collection of Dragon-Carving Flowers and Martial Mushrooms, collecting at least ten of each. Please make your move, sir.”

“Tsk!”

Lornaa Lindwood’s crimson lips beneath her veil curled slightly, but she didn’t show her feelings.

She understood David Jones’s thoughts, but the path of the strong was to either progress or regress. Missing this rare opportunity, it wouldn’t be as simple for David Jones to obtain the Emperor’s Veneration Pill next time!

Hearing the Prince’s promise, David Jones smiled satisfactorily.

He knew that Martial Mushrooms could enhance the effect on Wood-Type Pets, and physicians in Umbral surely knew this as well.

However, Umbral physicians preferred to use more elixirs to reduce the potency of the Martial Mushrooms, refining them into impurity-laden external alchemy to enhance their own strength, rather than nurturing Beasts.

David Jones had the same idea.

He was not a Ghost; possessing the Emperor’s Veneration Pill and the Vajra Sutra only made him feel hot-handed and were of no use; he would rather have the elixirs that could enhance his Contracted Pets’ strength.

If he could find other elixirs through the Prince’s noble connections that could rapidly increase his strength, perhaps David Jones could enhance the strength level of all his Contracted Pets to Class V apex, or even feed Lolo up to the Class VIII Legend.

Even though the hope was slim, the non-resistant Martial Mushroom might just make it possible. By then, leaving Umbral would be much more assured.

As a result, both parties were very satisfied with this transaction, except for the Master of Spring Mansion who was sipping tea on the side and felt somewhat displeased.

He felt that he had misjudged the person.

David Jones even refused the Emperor’s Veneration Pill he longed for, just to ingratiate himself with the royal family. This action left Azir Nos somewhat speechless and also dispelled the idea of recruiting David Jones.

Tó other people Azir Nos might seem powerful and influential, being the chieftain of a clan, but he knew very well that he was just an acting chieftain dealing with troublesome matters, and he didn’t even have as many external alchemy pills worth more than the Emperor’s Veneration Pill to recruit someone who wasn’t even at the Ghost King’s strength level.

“Please extend your left hand, Your Highness, so I may diagnose you,” David Jones said.

Theodore Lindwood smiled faintly, unafraid of any aggressive actions from David Jones, and stretched out his left hand openly.

“Your pulse is extremely weak, and your energy is frail,” after feeling the pulse, David Jones activated the Illusion-Piercing Eye towards the Prince.

[Name]: Theodore Lindwood

[Type]: Dragon (Hidden Dragon Lying in Wait)

[Bloodline Grade]: Ghost Immortal

[Strength Level]: Ghost Soldier (Class I)

[Detailed Introduction]: The Umbral royal family carries the power inheritance of the Guardian Dragon God in their blood. Each member who unlocks the door of their bloodline and advances to Ghost Emperor will gain a strength comparable to that of a Class VII True Dragon. However, as a price, their excessively pure royal bloodline will suffer from partial erosion by the Dragon God’s energy, leading to the difficult-to-treat condition known as Hemorrhagic Fever.

“No wonder every Umbral Emperor must gain the approval of the Guardian Dragon God to ascend to the throne!” David Jones’s eyes narrowed slightly as he rapidly pondered.

Just by checking the pulse, the Prince’s illness was more severe than he had predicted, but fortunately, it was still curable.

David Jones looked up at an anxious Theodore Lindwood and then wrote down all the elixir ingredients needed on a piece of paper, handing it to him afterward.

“Because Your Highness is suffering from Hemorrhagic Fever, you will need one Frost Dragon Pearl and one Flame Dragon Pearl to work in harmony to remove the lingering disease.”

Unexpectedly, Theodore Lindwood merely glanced at the elixir formula and a confident smile appeared on his face.

With a gentle clap of his hands, a servant girl by his side took out over a hundred portions of pre-prepared elixirs, including two Dragon Pearls, one red and one blue, both majestic and reluctantly echoing the Dragon Roar of the True Dragon within them.

“Flame Dragon Pearl”: A Level VII S tier resource, it encapsulates the Dragon Element of the Class VII Overlord Flame Sacred Dragon, is the size of a chicken egg and is a rare extreme Yang nature object. Once consumed, one can absorb the essence of the flame and obtain an extreme Yang dragon physique.

“Frost Dragon Pearl”: A Level VII SS tier resource, the Dragon Ball voluntarily expelled by the Class VII Emperor Ice Crystal Emperor Dragon before its death, containing its life’s Cultivation and can be considered an ultimate Yin treasure. Upon complete refining, one can inherit the Cultivation of the Ice Crystal Emperor Dragon from before its death or advance the Ice Carving Sacred Race’s Everlasting Frost Immortal Decree to its apex.

After reviewing the information on the two Dragon Pearls, a smile appeared on David Jones’s face.

As of today, David Jones had finally gathered most of the Evolution Resources needed for Rainbow, and even his gaze towards Theodore Lindwood softened.

“There’s no time to delay, since Your Highness already has all the elixirs prepared, we can begin the treatment this afternoon.”

…

Mountain Silver Abyss is the place near Silver-Abyssal City where the heavenly and earthly arcane force is the most dense, with a spring at its peak that has a miraculous effect of body-forging Nirvana even for Ghost King Elites.

At this moment, in the spring’s eye shrouded in mist and brimming with Arcane Energy, constantly boiling, a naked man was soaking in the spring water, with a hint of pain on his face.

“Start the cultivation method and take the elixir.”

Having said that, David Jones threw the Blood-Stabilizing Elixir, which had just been mixed with Rossetti Lindwood’s Essence Blood and was still slightly warm, into Lornaa Lindwood’s mouth.

“Boom!”

As the Blood-Stabilizing Elixir turned into pure energy within Lornaa Lindwood’s body, droplets of dark, heavy blood seeped from his pores and were then washed away by the continuously flowing water.

“There’s no need to be nervous; this is a necessary process to remove the waste blood and elixirs from your body.”

After speaking, David Jones took out a drop of Thousand-year Stalactites from the Star Ring and rubbed it on Lornaa Lindwood’s heart to prevent him from being unable to withstand the backlash of the bloodline’s power, which could cause his body to explode and die.

At these words, Lornaa Lindwood bit his lip tightly, not letting out a cry of pain.

Soon, as time passed, two hours went by. Lornaa Lindwood’s body was now visibly in trouble with popping blood vessels, looking extremely miserable, but the aura he exhibited had leapt from the Level of a Ghost Soldier to the later stages of a Ghost Warlord.

“That should do it. Your Highness, I have completely healed you of Hemorrhagic Fever,” David Jones said, patting his shoulder.

Lornaa Lindwood opened his eyes, hardly believing as he clenched his now powerful fists, his smile gradually turning from excitement to a profound sense of liberation.

“Congratulations, my brother!”

Hearing the long-missed laughter, Lornaa Lindwood, who could not contain her eagerness while waiting halfway up the mountain, appeared on the summit in a flash.

At this, now coming to his senses, Lornaa Lindwood formally bowed.

“Thank you, sir, for your life-giving grace. This Prince will never forget it!”
