After cultivating divine energy for half a day, Lu Li took action. He took out the map given by Young Master Qin and took a look. Then, he went to where Young Master Qin went.
He used the Seal of the Dust King and pushed the dark haze away. He was enveloped by the glow of the Seal of the Dust King. He did not dare to move too fast. He walked down step by step.
He closed his eyes and tried to sense with the trace of the great path. He could not use divine energy here. Instead of seeing with his eyes, he might as well use the trace of the great path.
Step by step, he was swallowed up by the dark haze. He walked down the mountain and did not find any danger.
After the time for several incense sticks to burn, Lu Li had been following the route given by Young Master Qin. He found some divine patterns around and some were blasted open. It must have been done when Young Master Qin came down for the first time.
"A tunnel!"
The map given by Young Master Qin was authentic. Lu Li followed the route and found a tunnel easily. It was a cave with flowing divine patterns. It must be a teleportation to the top of the mountain.
Of course, Lu Li did not go in immediately. He asked Blood Fairy to check.
Blood Fairy reached into the divine pattern at the entrance and said after a while, "Master, it is safe. This must be a teleportation pattern!"
Lu Li did not hesitate. He walked in with the Seal of the Dust King. As soon as he went in, he saw a white glare. He was at the peak.
The peak was spacious. There was no one there except for the Teleportation Altar. Young Master Fu and the others had all left. There was no one else here.
Lu Li could put his mind at ease. He wandered around the peak. He did not leave right away. He was ready to consume that drop of blood.
Previously, at the foot of the mountain, he was afraid that someone might ambush him. Now that he was safe, he could consume the blood.
Young Master Fu and the others could not be teleported back, right?
He could only go forward. He had not found a way back yet.
"Buzzing ~"
Lu Li took out some formation stones and began to set up at the peak. He was only building a simple trapping formation. He was afraid that he would roll around on the peak in pain and fall into the dark haze, which would be the end of him.
It was easy to set up this kind of formation. In less than an hour, a dark formation appeared and enveloped Lu Li. If Lu Li didn't launch a forceful attack, he could not fly out of the formation.
He rested for a moment, then took out the jade box. When the jade box appeared, the blood in his body began to boil, and his eyes became bloodshot.
His mind was filled with desire as he wanted to refine this drop of blood.
Lu Li took a deep breath and then opened the jade box. A drop of blood was beating inside. When the jade box was opened, the drop of blood flew out and was about to fly away.
"This drop of blood is comparable to a heavenly medicine, and it actually has spirituality. Just what kind of powerful immortal beast's blood is this?"
Lu Li was taken aback. He reached out his hand and grabbed the drop of blood. He covered it up with divine energy at once or the blood would scatter in the air.
He released his divine power and began to slowly refine it. He did not dare to swallow such a powerful blood in one go.
Although his physical body was strong, what if he couldn't withstand it?
"Hiss, hiss ~"
Strand after strand of blood entered his hand. He felt his hand was on fire. He almost wanted to throw the blood away.
He endured the burning sensation and went on. Soon, the burning sensation spread to every corner of his body. He felt he had fallen into a furnace. His blood was surging and boiling.
As he went on, the drop of blood in his hand became smaller and smaller. His body became hotter and hotter, almost suffocating.
He clenched his teeth and held on. The pain he had endured over the years was many times worse than this. This was not enough to make him pass out.
"Almost there!"
Lu Li checked and then swallowed the rest of the blood. This time, it was different. It was as if he had swallowed a ball of fire.
The blood spread across his body. He was burning. Every inch of his muscles, bones, and blood was burning. This time, he could not stand it anymore. He fell to the ground and rolled around.
Fortunately, he had set up a spirit formation. Otherwise, he would have definitely rolled down the mountain. His body kept rolling on the ground, and his whole body was filled with the aura of a wild beast. He was even letting out roars, like a giant injured beast on the verge of death.
He didn't stop until he rolled for more than two hours. In the end, he passed out.
The blood of the Immortal Beast was too strong. Strong as his physical body was, he could not stand it.
Lu Li passed out for a day and a night. He had a long dream. He dreamed that he was being hunted down. He was stabbed on his back and there were two bloody holes.
He also dreamt that someone injected poison into the bloody hole on his back. Something grew out of his back and he became a monster …
He woke up after a day and a night. The first thing he felt was thirst. His mouth was dry and his tongue cracked. He felt all the water in his body had evaporated.
He crawled up and wanted to get some water to drink. However, as soon as he moved, he realized something was wrong.
He felt something was wrong on his back. There really was … something growing out of his back!
"Wings!"
Lu Li turned around in fear and looked at his back. His eyes were filled with terror. There were two silver wings on his back. The wings were more than three feet long. The feathers on the wings looked like they were made of mercury, glistening and full of a metallic texture.
These wings were not placed on his back, but were completely connected to his back. The scene in his dream was not an illusion. He really had grown a pair of wings.
Lu Li's first feeling was not joy, but fear.
Wings meant that he had become a monster, not a normal human being. A bird-man?
He would be regarded as a monster, an alien race. What would his family and friends think of him when he returned to the Divinity?
Soon, he calmed himself down. There was more information in his mind. He had a vague idea — this should be a Bloodline Skill, a brand-new one.
He sorted through the new information in his mind at once. After a while, he was relieved.
He was not mutated. He had a new Bloodline Skill, Dragon Wings!
Since it was a Bloodline Skill, it could be released and put away.
After he carefully comprehended all the information in his mind, his heart stirred, and he shouted in a deep voice, "Dragon wings, withdraw!"
The silver wings on his back glowed and then disappeared from his back.
The skin on his back was smooth without any bulges. He had become a normal human being.
"Dragon Wings, out!"
Lu Li shouted again. His back glowed and two wings appeared. He flapped the wings and flew over like a bolt of lightning. He smashed into the trap formation he had built.
"So fast!"
Lu Li was overjoyed. When the dragon wings flapped, he felt the space was rippling. His speed must have been increased.
It was a pity that the peak was too small for him to fly around. He had to put away the dragon wings and try again when there was a chance.
"My qi and blood are strong. I feel my body has been strengthened. The blood of the Immortal Beast is so strong.
Wait … why is my blood changing color? "
Lu Li was taken aback. He noticed that his blood had turned dark red with a hint of gold, which was quite strange.
He frowned. Why would his blood change color?
Was it because of the Immortal Beast's blood?
He thought for a while and mobilized divine energy. As the divine energy flowed, he heard some strange sounds coming from his blood, like waves pounding on the table or the roaring of the ocean.
He used psychic power to check. His blood was flowing faster. Surges of qi and blood came from his body, filling him with strength.
"The blood of the Immortal Beast is extraordinary."
Lu Li was delighted again. Consuming the blood of the Immortal Beast had not only given him a Bloodline Skill, but also other transformations.
He checked for an hour. Apart from the changes in his blood and the strengthening of his body, nothing else changed.
"It's about time. Time to go out!"
