"So it's the Qi Tian Spiritual Grass."
After Kang Shin-mu took the Spiritual Grass, he ignored the Dragon Soul that was being eroded by the devouring power. Instead, he paid attention to the Spiritual Grass. Simply put, the Qi Tian Spiritual Grass was a high-grade Spiritual Grass used to refine elixirs. It was extremely valuable.
However, it was more difficult to refine elixirs. Moreover, other Spiritual Grasses were required as supplementary materials. Hence, Kang Shin-mu didn't need to refine elixirs.
The best way to deal with it was to consume it himself.
Although part of the medicinal properties would be lost if it wasn't refined into elixirs, Kang Shin-mu didn't need to worry about the loss of medicinal properties. After all, the Qi Tian Spiritual Grass was enough for him to reach the fourth tier of the Dragon Ascending Realm.
From the fourth tier onwards, the Dragon Ascending Realm was different from the previous three tiers.
The nine tiers of the Dragon Ascending Realm were also known as the "Nine Changes of the Dragon Ascending Realm." The first three tiers were still okay. However, the fourth tier would change a lot. However, the appearance of the Divine Dragon Body would change a lot. As for the strength, it would increase even more.
The specific changes would be different for every Dragon Martialist and every type of Divine Dragon blood essence.
Kang Shin-mu had never seen the Black Dragon Blood Essence that had the devouring power. Hence, he didn't know what kind of changes it would bring. However, no matter what, he had to consume the Qi Tian Spiritual Grass immediately.
Otherwise, when Uncle Ya and Ji Yexuan woke up, he wouldn't have a share of the Qi Tian Spiritual Grass. If the value of the Qi Tian Spiritual Grass was measured in dragon coins, it would be worth at least a million.
"No wonder they were willing to use 100,000 dragon coins to hire a Wandering Dragon Warrior to track the Snow Sky Fox. Could it be that the Snow Sky Fox wants to consume the Qi Tian Spiritual Grass herself?"
Kang Shin-mu wasn't sure if his guess was true. However, the Qi Tian Spiritual Grass was already in his hands.
He could feel that as long as the soul of the Dragon of Zhou was not completely devoured, the deterrence of the Godly Dragon would always be there. In other words, it would frighten Uncle Ya, Ji Yexuan, and the Snow Fox into a coma. This created the conditions for Kang Shin-mu to consume the Qi Tian Spiritual Grass.
As for the soul of the Dragon of Zhou, it would continue to exist for a short period of time. At the very least, with Kang Shin-mu's current strength, he would not be able to quickly devour it.
"The Devouring Power seems to have an innate ability to restrain Dragon Souls. Just what kind of existence is this Black Dragon Essence Blood?"
Kang Shin-mu shook his head and didn't think too much about it. The answer to this question could only be found when he reached an extremely powerful level.
As for now, he was still in the Dragon Ascension Realm. If he wanted to improve, the Qi Tian Spiritual Grass was a very good opportunity. It could at least save him three to four months of hard work. If he had enough spiritual grass and elixir pills, then the improvement of his cultivation would be much faster.
It was a pity that the Qi Tian Spiritual Grass was something that even Ji Yexuan regarded as a treasure. She was so anxious to hire a wandering dragon martial artist to chase after it. How could a mere Kang Shin-mu have the means to obtain a large amount of it?
"Let's just swallow it first!"
Kang Shin-mu gritted his teeth and swallowed the Qi Tian Spiritual Grass. He instantly chewed it and a sweet spiritual liquid flowed down his throat. The rich spiritual energy was continuously absorbed by him. Under the wrapping of the Devouring Power, it turned into the purest energy in his Essence Blood.
If Ji Yexuan were to find out that he had swallowed the Qi Tian Spiritual Grass, she would probably be so angry that she would kill him.
It was a pity that Kang Shin-mu had no other way to deal with this thing now.
After swallowing it, it was a good thing that he had consumed it. If he didn't, when Uncle Ya and Ji Yexuan woke up, he wouldn't be able to get anything.
A large amount of spiritual energy flowed continuously to Kang Shin-mu's entire body and integrated into his Essence Blood. Moreover, due to the Devouring Power, the spiritual energy quickly turned into his strength and increased his cultivation.
"Great!"
Not long after, Kang Shin-mu's eyes shone brightly. His entire temperament suddenly changed and he suddenly turned into a black dragon. A pair of Divine Dragon Eyes shot out boundless golden light, illuminating the entire pitch-black pit.
At this very moment, half of the Dragon of Zhou's Soul had been devoured by Kang Shin-mu. The Devouring Power continued to transfer the power of the Dragon of Zhou's Divine Dragon Essence Blood to Kang Shin-mu, gradually increasing the grade of the Black Dragon Essence Blood. As expected, it started to move from the Real Dragon Level to the Sky Dragon Level.
However, even after devouring the Dragon of Zhou's Soul, which was at least at the level of the Dragon King, the grade of Kang Shin-mu's Divine Dragon Essence Blood wasn't increasing quickly. After all, the Dragon of Zhou's Soul had been left for a long time and most of the Divine Dragon's power essence had already dissipated.
If it was a Dragon of Zhou's Soul that had just died, to be honest, Kang Shin-mu didn't have the confidence to devour it. After all, his current cultivation was too weak.
The vast amount of spiritual energy from the Qi Tian Spiritual Grass was constantly transforming the bloodline in his body. The Divine Dragon Essence Blood was also rapidly increasing under the nourishment of the Dragon of Zhou's Soul. At this very moment, Kang Shin-mu was ushering in an extremely important transformation.
"Dragon Ascension Realm, Fourth Tier!"
Kang Shin-mu's Black Dragon form released boundless golden light from his eyes. At this moment, it flashed and disappeared. Instead, it was restrained after the breakthrough.
The Fourth Tier of the Dragon Ascension Realm allowed him to cultivate the Golden Light Eyes. As for what effect it had, he didn't know at the moment. However, it could be said that it was a relatively large change after his cultivation increased. As for the grade of the Divine Dragon Essence Blood, after devouring a large portion of the Dragon of Zhou's Soul, it increased by a lot.
In order to advance from a True Dragon to a Sky Dragon, the number of Divine Dragon corpses or Dragon Souls that one needed to devour was far too many. Even if it was the Dragon Soul of Zhou, after being devoured, Jiang Shenwu's progress had only increased by about a tenth. Wanting to truly transform into a Sky Dragon Martial Artist with the inheritance of Sky Dragon blood essence was far too difficult.
Kang Shin-mu didn't have much time left. He had to quickly advance and find his father Jiang Zizai, the former Jiang Longjun. Then, he had to go to the Jiang Clan to establish himself in the Jiang Clan and seize the position of Patriarch of the Jiang Clan.
If Jiang Rong didn't set his sights on him, Kang Shin-mu couldn't be bothered with who would be the Patriarch and who would be the Jiang Longjun.
But now, he had to do this to ensure the safety of his mother, Gu Yuerou!
"Fifth Tier of the Dragon Ascension Realm!"
The spiritual energy contained in the Qi of the Qi Tian Spiritual Grass was really shocking. After Kang Shin-mu absorbed the spiritual energy, even if he only absorbed 70% of it and wasted the rest, he could still use it to increase his cultivation by two tiers.
Dragon Ascension Nine Transformations, Fifth Transformation.
During the first three tiers, Kang Shin-mu's change wasn't very obvious. But now, every time he increased his cultivation by one tier, his strength would increase by a lot. The dragon claws of his Black Dragon form stretched out in an instant. There was an even stronger devouring power attached to them. The sharpness of the claws had actually more than doubled.
