Chapter 142: Three Drops of Yinglong Essence Blood

"Yinglong Essence Blood?"

Xiao Fan was stunned, looking at the other person with a face full of shock…

He had not expected Sect Master Wu Xinjue to be so generous, handing such a treasure directly to him.

What was an Yinglong?

Legend had it that it was one of the ten great ancient dragons, a most powerful lineage of Yao Beast.

An adult Yinglong was said to be ten thousand zhang long, possessing the power to destroy the heavens and extinguish the earth…

Of course, those were just legends, existing only in ancient books; Xiao Fan had only seen them mentioned before.

He couldn't fathom where Sect Master Wu Xinjue had obtained this Essence Blood…

Sect Master Wu Xinjue smiled and explained: "This Yinglong Essence Blood was merely extracted from the corpse of a young Yinglong. You can also understand this as one of the foundations of the Jixian Sect…"

Sect Master Xu Yongnian stood to the side, wearing a beaming smile; the two of them seemed very satisfied with Xiao Fan's reaction.

Xiao Fan nodded, his heart re-evaluating the foundation of the Jixian Sect once again…

To be able to bring out something like Yinglong Essence Blood?

What kind of foundation must this be?

This was, after all, an Yinglong…

A legendary ancient dragon…

The two stayed there for another half an hour. They didn't chat about anything else, instead explaining the function of the Enlightenment Seed to Xiao Fan…

After once again urging Xiao Fan to be careful, the two left.

Xiao Fan respectfully saw them off, then couldn't wait to return to his Secret Room…

"Yinglong Essence Blood, what a good treasure. I wonder how much money this thing could sell for if it were put up for auction…"

Xiao Fan's expression was excited, but after thinking about it, he shook his head and gave a bitter smile, feeling that he was still too naive.

A treasure like Yinglong Essence Blood was definitely priceless; it could not be measured by Spirit Stones at all.

"Forget about that. Let's absorb it and see."

Xiao Fan's face showed joy. His current Realm was the Late Stage of the seventh level of the Huaqi Realm, which was the result of him suppressing it all along.

If he gave up suppressing it and chose to Breakthrough, becoming a Great Perfection of the seventh level would be effortless.

Now that he had obtained this Yinglong Essence Blood, he could attempt to continue his Breakthrough…

Opening the jade bottle, a majestic and terrifying spiritual power surged out, instantly shrouding the entire Secret Room in this dreadful spiritual power.

Xiao Fan's expression was excited; he couldn't wait to swallow these three drops of Essence Blood immediately…

However, he was not blinded by this joy. If he did that, his Physical Body might be blown apart.

He took out one drop and swallowed it, feeling a ferocious and majestic spiritual power enter his stomach.

He capped the jade bottle and hurriedly began to Cultivate using the Nine Transformations of Qi Cultivation Technique…

His own spiritual power began to climb at a terrifying speed. Before long…

Great Perfection of the seventh level of the Huaqi Realm…

Xiao Fan broke through directly, reaching the Great Perfection of the seventh level, and his spiritual power continued to increase.

He was about to reach the critical point of the eighth level of the Huaqi Realm. With just a little more effort, he could Breakthrough, but at this moment, Xiao Fan abandoned the intention to Breakthrough.

Instead, he tried his best to suppress the majestic rising spiritual power within his body, constantly compressing the rising spiritual power…

…

Outside, several miles away from Xiao Fan's Immortal Cave, in mid-air.

Sect Master Wu Xinjue and Sect Master Xu Yongnian were floating in the Void Realm, their deep gazes fixed in the direction of Xiao Fan's Immortal Cave.

With their current cultivation, even from a great distance, they could clearly perceive everything Xiao Fan was doing inside the Immortal Cave.

Although they couldn't see the contents inside, they could tell a lot from the aura Xiao Fan was exhibiting.

"Did you deliberately not tell him that the Yinglong Essence Blood cannot be taken all at once, just to test this child's Heart-Nature?" Sect Master Xu Yongnian asked, his face lacking its usual smile this time.

"You clearly knew it too, didn't you also not remind him?"

Sect Master Wu Xinjue spoke, a hint of a smile appearing on his face: "Not telling him was just to see what this child's Heart-Nature is truly like, and whether he can withstand temptation. You must know, he currently possesses the Enlightenment Seed… There are some things you and I are very clear about."

"Although according to ancient records, the Enlightenment Seed cannot be forcibly taken away, but…"

"If this matter leaks out, he will inevitably be targeted. He is still too weak. There are plenty of people who would want to try and see if they can strip the Enlightenment Seed from his body."

"Moreover, if those hostile forces find out, they will never allow a Genius to grow…"

Sect Master Xu Yongnian didn't speak. By not reminding him, he also had the intention of testing Xiao Fan.

A Sect's young Genius determines whether the Sect will be powerful in the future.

If other Sects learned that Xiao Fan possessed the Enlightenment Seed, there would only be two outcomes: one, to win Xiao Fan over to join them.

Two, to eliminate Xiao Fan, causing the Jixian Sect to lose a Genius!

"Looking at it this way, his Heart-Nature is still quite good. He wasn't blinded by the sudden Opportunity…"

Sect Master Wu Xinjue nodded with satisfaction. Sect Master Xu Yongnian didn't speak.

In order to hide the fact that Xiao Fan had Awakening the Enlightenment Seed, they had even activated a Magic Array, consuming unimaginable amounts of resources every day.

If Xiao Fan was not the kind of person worth them spending such a high price to protect…

These two would have to think about how to settle Xiao Fan in the future.

Although they would still protect him, he would certainly have no freedom afterwards…
