Ye brother, long time no see. I never thought we would reunite here in Wuyang Province. Tan Chen said to Ye Chu with a cupped fist salute and a smile. Prince Tianyu also nodded in greeting from the side.
I also never thought that Brother Tan would be here. Ye Chu replied to Tan Chen with a smile. I wonder if Miao Tong has come as well.
Ye Jingyun heard Ye Chu asking about Tan Miao Tong straight away and could not help rolling her eyes. She thought that this was all Ye Chu amounted to.
Tan Chen likewise never expected Ye Chu to ask about Tan Miao Tong as soon as he spoke. Miao Tong is still in the clan and has not come out.
Seeing that the captivating beauty who could stir the soul was not present, Ye Chu instantly lost any interest in exchanging pleasantries with Tan Chen. He gave a few perfunctory replies to Tan Chen and shifted his gaze to the Dragon Blood Lake.
Brother Ye has an extraordinary artistic conception and should possess monstrous talent by rights. But why have you not yet reached the Profound Life Realm? For people like us, reaching the Profound Life Realm is the most important transformation. Tan Chen asked curiously from the side.
Ye Chu had no intention of continuing the conversation with Tan Chen so he spoke casually. Life should be enjoyed to the fullest when one is successful, so in my youth I only busied myself with romance and pleasures, committing many evils, and did not focus my mind on cultivation.
This single sentence left Tan Chen and Prince Tianyu stunned. They never expected such an answer from Ye Chu. The two exchanged a glance, then Tan Chen gave an awkward smile. Brother Ye truly is an interesting person.
Ye Jingyun saw that Tan Chen and Prince Tianyu did not seem to believe it. She muttered from the side. Do you think he is lying? This guy was so notorious in a small city that everyone shouted to beat him. He has done all kinds of evil deeds and only started cultivating a little over three years ago.
With Ye Jingyun confirming it, Tan Chen and Prince Tianyu found it even more remarkable. But Ye Chu’s expression also became strange. For people like them, cultivation came first and bringing talent to its extreme was what they pursued.
Yet Ye Chu had actually wasted such talent on romance, pleasures and evil deeds. It had to be said that he was one of a kind. A cultivator with so little self control, no matter how good his talent was, what could come of it?
For a moment, Tan Chen and Prince Tianyu looked down on Ye Chu a little more.
The Little Sword King nearby also heard their conversation. He could not help letting out a sneer and looked at Ye Chu with added disdain.
Many cultivators were attacking the barrier, yet fewer than twenty had managed to enter it. The other cultivators used all their strength but still could not get inside.
The fewer than twenty who had entered all fixed their gazes on the churning Dragon Blood Lake ahead. Everyone was extremely close to the lake and could feel the rich heaven and earth spiritual energy within it.
Finally one cultivator could not hold back. His figure leaped down into the Dragon Blood Lake. As his body submerged, Ye Chu and the others could clearly see the spiritual energy in the lake penetrating into his body.
Ah…
The other party could not help letting out a comfortable moan. Ye Chu and the group could see his physical body being baptised and tempered by the spiritual energy, with some impurities being expelled from his body.
With this kind of transformation, many cultivators finally could not resist and shot towards the Dragon Blood Lake.
Tan Chen and Prince Tianyu also leaped forward and landed in the Dragon Blood Lake. The lake water swirled around them continuously, and the terrifying spiritual energy penetrated their bodies, constantly tempering them.
However, compared to the other cultivators, the body tempering effect of the Dragon Blood Lake was not as strong for them. This was not surprising, after all as outstanding talents their physiques were already far superior to those of ordinary cultivators.
Tan Chen and Prince Tianyu moved towards the centre of the Dragon Blood Lake. The outer areas had little effect on them, so they could only head to the centre where the dragon blood was most concentrated.
Let us go down as well. Ye Chu called to Yang Ning and Yang Hui, then led them into the Dragon Blood Lake together.
The three women’s bodies were soaked in the Dragon Blood Lake. Ye Chu felt some regret that the lake water was blood red, which deprived him of the chance to feast his eyes. The blood red water blocked his view and he could not see the three curvaceous figures underwater.
Young master, you do not need to mind us. Go to the centre yourself.
Yang Ning and Yang Hui believed Ye Chu was an outstanding talent, so the outer Dragon Blood Lake would not have much effect on him. They urged him to head to the centre himself.
But Ye Chu smiled and did not go to the centre because of this. He soaked in the outer area of the Dragon Blood Lake, feeling the spiritual energy washing over him. This washing had an extraordinary effect on him. Ye Chu could clearly feel the impurities in his body being expelled.
It was an extremely pleasurable experience, a hundred times more refreshing than soaking in hot springs from his previous life.
Ye Chu tempered his own body as the spiritual energy continuously struck him. He distinctly felt that these lake waters contained artistic conception. The conception was not strong but it was extraordinary.
This must be the power of dragon blood. Ye Chu muttered. He took small steps towards the centre and felt the effect become much stronger.
Some cultivators also began to move slowly towards the centre, using the Dragon Blood Lake to temper their bodies and feeling the transformation within themselves.
After moving a certain distance, Ye Chu sat cross legged in the Dragon Blood Lake. The surrounding lake water continuously struck his body. With each impact it carried away a lot of filth from him, all impurities refined out from his body.
His body was transforming and the feeling was intense, filling Ye Chu with extreme joy. He even felt that his qi sea had become active.
Yang Ning and Yang Hui saw Ye Chu sitting cross legged in the outer area cultivating and felt puzzled. The other two outstanding talents had already gone towards the very centre, so why was he still here?
Not to mention the two outstanding talents, even Ye Jingyun had gone far from here, and many other cultivators had already reached the deeper parts of the lake.
Although the two women were puzzled, they were tactful and did not disturb Ye Chu. They stopped minding him and cultivated on their own.
Outside the barrier, many people watched. I wonder if anyone this time can transform to the extreme and cause the lake water to reverse.
It should be impossible. The scene of the lake water reversing has only appeared once in history. That was a legend of Wuyang Province.
Not necessarily. This time there are three outstanding talents. Maybe they can really create another legend.
…
The crowd discussed animatedly, but when they saw Ye Chu sitting cross legged in the outer area cultivating, they all looked at each other in dismay.
Is this lad really just a wax head? Most people have moved deep into the lake water, yet he is exercising so contentedly in the outer area. For an outstanding talent, would the lake water in the outer area even be useful?
…
Ye Chu paid no attention to the crowd’s discussions. His body was struck by the lake water, which carried away streams of impurities. His body was growing stronger as the spiritual energy from the lake penetrated him. Ye Chu felt the transformation from the lake water.
The Dragon Blood Lake truly is extraordinary. It has such divine effects even in the outer area. Then what kind of terror would the centre bring? I wonder to what extent it can temper my body. Ye Chu felt somewhat excited. He moved forward a section again, then sat cross legged once more to cultivate and feel the spiritual energy striking his body.
Tan Chen and Prince Tianyu also noticed Ye Chu. It seems he is only outstanding in artistic conception talent. His physical constitution is too poor, even worse than ordinary geniuses. Yet he can still gain effects there. With this kind of constitution, he will not be able to go far in the Dragon Blood Lake.
