183: Chapter 182 Dragon Blood Pool

The flying boat cut through the clouds, speeding toward the western horizon.

Jiang Hanzhou stood at the stern, watching the receding silhouette of the warship, calculating how to use this opportunity to wipe out the remnants to hone his newly born Heart Blade.

Just then—

The sumeru pouch at his waist suddenly emitted a faint vibration.

The vibration was highly rhythmic, like a heartbeat, or perhaps some special cadence.

Jiang Hanzhou was slightly taken aback, then immediately reacted.

A communication talisman.

He reached into his sumeru pouch and took out a palm-sized crimson jade talisman.

The jade talisman was fiery red, its surface engraved with complex Formation patterns. Right now, those patterns were flickering slightly, and with every flicker, a wisp of warm aura escaped from the talisman.

A long-distance communication talisman.

Given to him by Master Xue Mu.

"Junior Brother Jiang?" Zhao Yuanjing, seeing him take out the jade talisman, asked in a low voice, "Something up?"

Jiang Hanzhou shook his head, walked to a corner of the flying boat, and probed the jade talisman with his Divine Sense.

Inside the jade talisman, Master Xue Mu's voice resonated directly in his Sea of Consciousness:

"Kid, I have some good news for you."

The voice carried a hint of amusement, a hint of smugness, and a hint of—unmistakable joy.

"The Sect has already sent people to negotiate with the Sea Quelling Department. Although they have already sealed the jiaolong remains, they cannot ignore the Face of the Dragon Abyss Palace."

"After two days of negotiations, there is progress. They agreed to trade the dragon marrow from that half of the dragon head for our Dragon Abyss Palace's method of refining the dragon blood pill, plus thirty years of usage rights to the Earth Fire."

"Dragon marrow is just a precious Materials for refining artifacts or Alchemy to others. But for our Red Fire Peak—it is the supreme treasure for tempering the Dragon Blood Pool!"

"If the negotiations go smoothly, the dragon marrow will be delivered to Red Fire Peak in at most half a month. When that time comes, Master will give you a spot to go soak in the Dragon Blood Pool!"

"The Dragon Blood Pool, kid! That's a treasure land that only True Disciples of the Dragon Abyss Palace are qualified to enter! The pool uses Dragon Blood Power as the main ingredient, supplemented by thirty-six types of fire-attribute Spirit Medicine, and it remains in a boiling state all year round. Soaking in it for three days is equivalent to three months of hard Cultivate!"

"You've been working yourself to the bone in the Earth Fire Cave for these past two months, isn't it just to Breakthrough the fifth layer of the Li Huo Golden Body Art? If you can enter the Dragon Blood Pool and use the Dragon Blood Power to temper your Qi and blood, your 'Blood Burning' Bottleneck will definitely be Breakthrough in one go!"

"Prepare well. Once you finish wiping out those remnants, you can enter the pool when you return."

As the voice faded, the light in the jade talisman gradually dimmed.

Jiang Hanzhou held the communication talisman, silent for a long time.

Then, he looked up at the rising morning sun on the horizon.

The golden-red sunlight spilled onto his Face, gilding his brows and eyes with a faint golden glow.

The Dragon Blood Pool.

A treasure land that only True Disciples were qualified to enter.

Using Dragon Blood Power as the main ingredient, supplemented by thirty-six types of fire-attribute Spirit Medicine, remaining in a boiling state all year round.

Soaking in it for three days is equivalent to three months of hard Cultivate.

His Li Huo Golden Body Art's fifth layer—Blood Burning—has now touched the Bottleneck, lacking only the final opportunity.

If he could enter the Dragon Blood Pool...

He took a deep breath, suppressing the surge of joy in his heart.

He could not show his emotions.

Especially here.

He turned and walked back into the boat.

Teng Yuzhi glanced at him, a trace of doubt flashing in her cold eyes, but she didn't ask further.

Huo Qingfeng was sitting at the bow of the boat, whispering with the green-armored officer, not noticing his anomaly.

Zhao Yuanjing, Song Hu, and Liu Ningshuang were each sitting cross-legged, regulating their breathing to prepare for the upcoming cleanup.

Jiang Hanzhou sat cross-legged by the side of the boat and closed his eyes.

Deep in his Sea of Consciousness, the Heart Blade floated quietly.

But at this moment, his heart could not be calm.

The Dragon Blood Pool.

He remembered that Bai Tianxiao's diary had mentioned this item many times.

It was one of the true foundations of the Dragon Abyss Palace.

According to the diary, the refining of the Dragon Blood Pool required the blood of a real jiaolong, supplemented by thirty-six types of fire-attribute Spirit Medicine, and three years of tempering with Earth Fire to form the pool.

Once the pool was formed, it remained boiling all year round, the Dragon Blood Power and medicinal power intermingling to form an extremely tyrannical Body Tempering force.

Ordinary Cultivator who went in wouldn't last a stick of incense before that violent Dragon Blood Power ruptured their Meridians, turning them into a pool of blood.

But if one could endure it, that Dragon Blood Power would penetrate deep into the bone marrow and merge with the Qi and blood, tempering the Physical Body to an unimaginable degree.

Especially for those who Cultivate fire-attribute Cultivation Technique, the Dragon Blood Pool was a supreme treasure land.

He opened his eyes and looked at the horizon becoming clearer in the distance.

Soon.

Once these remnants were wiped out, he could enter the pool upon returning.

He took a deep breath, closed his eyes, and continued to regulate his breathing.

But this time, his heartbeat was a few beats faster than usual.
