Gray Flame Lizard King

After some thought, Xiao Ming opened his spatial ring and took out a large pile of items.

The first thing that caught his eye was a large pile of white lizard eggs.

There were seven of these eggs in total, each the size of a durian, which he had found incidentally while searching for blood amber on the first level of Lingyun Cave.

He activated the inspection function, and immediately, the information about these lizard eggs appeared one by one:

Name: Gray Flame Lizard Egg

Status: About to hatch

Description: An ordinary lizard egg; even if it hatches, it will only be a common Gray Flame Lizard... Now for the second one.

Name: Gray Flame Lizard Egg

Status: About to hatch

Description: An ordinary lizard egg; even if it hatches, it will only be a common Gray Flame Lizard... Xiao Ming inspected them one by one, and the first six were all extremely ordinary eggs, with no special features.

Only the last one remained unchecked.

Name: Gray Flame Lizard Egg

Status: About to hatch

Description: The offspring of a Transformation Domain Realm Grey Flame Lizard King, possessing the powerful bloodline of the Lizard King and capable of growing into a true Lizard King.

Hmm??

Seeing the description of the last egg, Xiao Ming couldn't help but raise his eyebrows.

This last egg is quite good!

It can actually grow into a true Lizard King; it might even evolve into a Transformation Domain Realm demonic beast!

At the same time.

Xiao Ming gained a deeper understanding of the guardian demonic beasts of Lingyun Cave.

He speculated that the Grey Flame Lizard and the Nether Cat originally guarding Lingyun Cave were both at the Transformation Domain Realm, as Old Man Shi Gu was powerful, and ordinary demonic beasts wouldn't be strong enough to bear the responsibility of guarding.

He just didn't know why the first generation of guardian demonic beasts had all died, resulting in subsequent generations that were progressively weaker.

After some thought.

Xiao Ming conjured flames and threw all six of the first eggs into them, planning to roast them and taste them one by one.

As for the last lizard egg, which possessed the Lizard King's bloodline, Xiao Ming decided to cultivate it carefully.

If he nurtured it well, it would surely grow to the Transformation Domain Realm, and then he would have a powerful helper.

Xiao Ming wasn't very clear on how to hatch demonic beast eggs, but there was a simple and crude method in the cultivation world: infuse one's true essence into the egg to accelerate its hatching.

He decided to act immediately.

Xiao Ming held the last lizard egg in one hand, and then, a surging true essence burst forth, pouring into the interior of the lizard egg in waves.

Under the continuous infusion of true essence, the lizard egg immediately emitted a soft glow, and at the same time, its hard shell changed, with cracks appearing.

Approximately ten minutes later.

Crack, crack, crack... The cracks on the surface of the lizard egg grew more numerous and larger, emitting cracking sounds.

To Xiao Ming's anticipation, the lizard egg quietly split open, and then an arm-sized Gray Flame Lizard crawled out.

This lizard had been curled up in the egg and was exceptionally well-developed; not only was its physique robust, but even at birth, its Cultivation Level had reached the Xiantian Realm!

After Little Lizard hatched, he saw Xiao Ming first, then affectionately drew closer, extending his forked tongue and continuously licking Xiao Ming's palm.

He was like an obedient puppy.

He was treating Xiao Ming as his parent.

"Good boy, Daddy won't treat you badly," Xiao Ming said with a smile, stroking Little Lizard's head. Then, he took out some relatively ordinary elixirs and spirit herbs from his spatial ring and fed them to Little Lizard one by one.

After Little Lizard finished eating the elixirs and spirit herbs, his body rapidly grew, becoming two meters long.

At the same time, his Cultivation Level advanced further, reaching the late Xiantian Realm.

This speed of advancement surprised Xiao Ming somewhat.

Little Lizard was so extraordinary, surely because of his Lizard King bloodline. To be precise, Little Lizard was a little Lizard King!

"Go play on your own; Daddy still has things to do," Xiao Ming said.

Little Lizard seemed to understand, obediently running to the side, looking around, and then disappearing into the dense forest.

He was probably going to hunt birds and beasts in the forest.

After sending Little Lizard away, Xiao Ming took out another pile of items from his spatial ring.

They were blood amber, entirely blood-colored!

The blood amber were only egg-sized, but they were exceptionally beautiful, like blood-colored crystals, emitting a soft, bloody glow.

There were a total of twelve of them!

He activated the inspection function, and the information about the blood amber also appeared:

Name: blood amber

Grade: Heaven-tier Low-grade

Attribute: Heavenly material and earthly treasure for enhancing cultivation

Description: A unique heavenly material and earthly treasure of Lingyun Cave, possessing extremely rich energy. Even Yuqi Realm martial artists dare not consume too much of it.

After reading the description of the blood amber.

Xiao Ming's expression became serious.

The energy of this blood amber was too potent; even Yuqi Realm experts dared not consume too much. He was currently only at the Danhu Realm, and even with his Five Elements Saint Body, he needed to be very careful when absorbing the blood amber.

He put away most of the blood amber, leaving only one. After cleaning it, Xiao Ming drew his tiangang sword and cut off one-third of this blood amber.

He took a deep breath.

Xiao Ming threw the one-third piece of blood amber he had cut off into his mouth.

Boom!

As soon as the blood amber entered his mouth, it exploded like a firecracker!

The rich energy surged directly to his crown!

The rolling energy, like a rushing river, instantly entered Xiao Ming's abdomen and flowed into his limbs and bones.

Thump, thump, thump!

Thump, thump, thump!

A series of deep thuds echoed within Xiao Ming's body; it was the violent energy of the blood amber raging within him!

The energy was too concentrated, and Xiao Ming dared not be careless. He quickly activated the Royal Sky Shocking Art, and immediately, a faint golden light emanated from his body.

Under the effect of the cultivation technique, the blood amber's energy gradually calmed down and was refined into the purest energy, pouring into the Dan Lake within his body.

Drip, drip... Drops of pure energy dripped into the Dan Lake, rapidly increasing the true essence reserves of the Dan Lake. A few minutes later, the Dan Lake suddenly trembled.

The true essence within it had reached its limit!

The next moment.

The semi-solidified Dan Lake compressed inwards frantically, and drops of true essence were gradually turning from a semi-solidified state into solid crystals!

Not only that.

Xiao Ming also clearly felt that his soul had undergone a great change.

His soul was originally invisible and intangible, but now, his soul was evolving into a illusory primordial spirit; although it was quite illusory, it was a real existence.

Furthermore.

A very peculiar spiritual power, which was divine sense, had also been born in his mind!

And these were all abilities unique to Divine Sea Realm martial artists.

Under the effect of the blood amber, Xiao Ming developed various abilities, on the verge of advancing to the Divine Sea Realm!
