Immortal and Martial Dual Cultivation

Chapter 1734 (Raw 1744.5 Missing from raws): Divine Dragon Body Tempering Art

When Ling Yu heard what Xiao Chen said, he asked with some embarrassment, “Martial Uncle, can I? That Miss Ling Long must have met countless noble scions in the capital or outstanding talents from Holy Rank sects. Even so, she did not fall for them. I am just an insignificant Rank 4 sect core disciple; how can I be a match for her?”

There was one more thing that Ling Yu did not say. The more embarrassing thing was that this Ling Long had not displayed her strength yet, but her cultivation was even higher than Ling Yu’s.

With a serious expression, Xiao Chen countered, “How old are you? You are just twenty or so; your life is like a blank paper, full of boundless possibilities. However, if you do not even dare to think about it, then there would really be no chance at all. How could Senior Brother have a disciple like you?”

Ling Yu floundered, “But, Martial Uncle, I...”

Xiao Chen said softly, “There are no buts. If you do not have the determination, then just perish the thought while it is early, to prevent a mental block. If you really want it, why can’t you make it your target? Decide for yourself.”

Ling Yu was a pretty good person overall. However, he was somewhat soft and indecisive, lacking in boldness.

Actually, Ling Yu’s bloodline is not inferior to anyone else’s. As long as he was willing to work hard, anything was possible.

Otherwise, why would Ye Zifeng have accepted Ling Yu as his disciple?

“Martial Uncle, I’ve decided. I’ll go and meet Miss Ling Long right now and get her to wait for me in the capital for five years. If she gives me that chance, I will do my best and not waste the five years she gives me. If not, then I will forget about this dream!”

After hesitating for a long time, Ling Yu finally made a decision. He knew that his martial uncle was thinking about him.

When one was not decisive enough, one would end up confused instead.

Xiao Chen watched as Ling Yu turned and left. However, he just smiled faintly, doubting that Ling Yu really had the courage to say that.

However, it was not convenient for Xiao Chen to interfere in this. He could only wish Ling Yu good luck.

As Xiao Chen expected, when Ling Yu rashly went to meet Ling Long, all his courage immediately evaporated with one glance from the other party.

“Young Master Ling, what’s the matter?” Ling Long blinked as she gazed at Ling Yu with a serious expression.

Ling Yu’s flame instantly guttered; he did not even dare to look straight at Ling Long. He felt extremely anxious, not knowing how to say the words that he had practiced several times in his heart.

When the time came, Ling Yu could not get them out.

Ling Yu showed an awkward expression, at a loss as to what to do.

After a long silence racking his brains, Ling Yu still could not think of anything to say. However, he knew that he had to say something. He blurted out, “Miss Ling Long, I would like to learn the pipa from you!”

The moment Ling Yu said that, he felt extremely embarrassed, wishing that he could find a hole in the ground to hide in.

Ling Long opened her eyes wide, stunned for a moment. Then, she burst out in a peal of laughter. “How could there be a grown man who wants to learn the pipa?”

Ling Yu was immediately disappointed, feeling like he was too much of a failure. Compared to his martial uncle, he was too lacking. He did not even have the courage to speak.

However, when Ling Yu was prepared to say his goodbyes, Ling Long smiled and said, “However, since the Smiling Daughter Pavilion is not operating during this period, I happen to be free. I’m not in a rush to go to the capital, so, Young Master Ling, if you are really interested, I can teach you a little.”

This was simply unexpected good news. Ling Yu’s slow-witted brain was dazed for a while before he reacted with great joy.

“Many thanks, Miss Ling Long. I’ll go and buy a pipa now!”

Ling Yu ran out joyfully and told Xiao Chen everything that happened. He could not hide the smile on his face at all.

Xiao Chen wondered why his martial nephew was so joyful after being that terrified. However, it was enough for his little martial nephew to be happy.

“In that case, congratulations. During this time, you should stay at the Smiling Daughter Pavilion. I’ll find another place and cultivate in peace for a period. Don’t forget to cultivate.”

Xiao Chen patted Ling Yu’s shoulder and said goodbye.

—

Xiao Chen rented an independent courtyard in Soaring Dragon City and prepared to upgrade the Heavenly Flame.

With a casual wave of his hand, the Dragon Pattern Cauldron landed heavily on the ground. At the sight of the Dragon Pattern Cauldron that Liu Ruyue once used, determination flashed in his eyes.

The words that Xiao Chen said to Ling Yu earlier were also for himself.

If he was not determined, he might as well forget about this.

Once Xiao Chen made his decision, it would never change. If you are still there, I will never give up!

The strongest talent that was extremely charming. No matter what the Dragon God Crown Prince did, she remained unmoved.

Liu Ruyue’s position in the Dragon Race placed some pressure on Xiao Chen. However, it also strengthened his resolve.

He needed to have sufficient ability before he could enter the Central Great Realm and head for Ancestor Dragon City.

If Xiao Chen was not strong enough, even if Liu Ruyue did not abandon him, he would find it very unbearable.

The pride in his heart did not permit this.

Xiao Chen shook his head, dismissing these distracting thoughts. Then, he stretched out his hand and sent the Heavenly Flame into the cauldron.

“Boom!” The Heavenly Flame started burning fiercely.

It was like Liu Ruyue’s face appeared in the flame, making Xiao Chen worry and inspiring wild thoughts.

Xiao Chen gently breathed out and then added the Dazzling Sunlight True Flame into the cauldron.

“Whoosh!” Although the Dazzling Sunlight True Flame was of a high rank, it was of a much weaker grade than the Heavenly Flame.

While the Dazzling Sunlight True Flame looked very mighty, it could not even cause a splash before the Heavenly Flame.

After flopping about for a few times, it gave up in the cauldron and remained still as the Heavenly Flame slowly swallowed it up.

Xiao Chen firmly controlled the Heavenly Flame with his mind during this process. After half a day, the Heavenly Flame cried piteously for food after completely swallowing the Dazzling Sunlight True Flame.

The fierce Heavenly Flame condensed into a spot. When its light came out of the Dragon Pattern Cauldron, it was golden and glittery, looking very dazzling.

“Boom!”

Just as Xiao Chen felt doubtful, the spot of Heavenly Flame suddenly expanded and started blazing intensely.

A terrifying heatwave billowed out, and the surrounding air turned arid.

The grass, flowers, and trees in the courtyard all charred. The ground dried up, small cracks spreading through it.

“It is Rank 1 already!”

Xiao Chen showed joy on his face. The Heavenly Flame finally shook free of its original form. Relying on the nourishment of the Dazzling Sunlight True Flame, it reached peak Rank 1.

In that case, I’ll add more fire. Xiao Chen did not hesitate to send the Purple Thunder True Fire from the Purple Thunder Divine Incantation into the cauldron.

The Purple Thunder True Fire condensed and turned into a beam of light that poured in endlessly. The Rank 1 Heavenly Flame immediately flared brighter.

A beam of golden light soared into the dark night sky, lighting up the surroundings.

Fortunately, all sorts of strange things often happened in Soaring Dragon City. There were experts everywhere, and some mysterious phenomena would manifest occasionally.

For example, there would be some due to outstanding talents in closed-door cultivation, or old Alchemists refining Medicinal Pills, or perhaps an expert refining a weapon.

The mysterious phenomenon had not reached the point of earth-shaking and did not attract too much attention.

Five stars lit up on Xiao Chen’s 9-Star Primal Core, looking resplendent and dazzling.

The Purple Thunder Divine Incantation circulated wildly as Xiao Chen’s Veritable Essence Energy drained continuously, turning into the Purple Thunder True Fire that flowed into the cauldron.

With Xiao Chen’s vast cultivation, he managed to make the injection of the Purple Thunder True Fire last for one hour.

Then, there was a loud sound. The huge flame in the cauldron condensed into a spot once again.

After experiencing it once, Xiao Chen did not dare be lax. He extended his hand and materialized a barrier to prevent the Heavenly Flame from causing too huge a commotion.

“Boom!

The Heavenly Flame burned away that barrier in an instant.

Everything flammable in the courtyard ignited at the same time. The buildings all started to smolder.

When Xiao Chen saw this, it startled him. This courtyard had restrictions on it. Once triggered, they would definitely cause a huge fluctuation.

“Heavenly Snow Divine Flame!”

Xiao Chen thrust his hand forward, and a cold aura spread out, instantly sealing the series of heatwaves in ice.

The originally arid and smoldering courtyard immediately froze, frost limning its edges. Pure-white ice flowers drifted about.

“It is Rank 2 now,” Xiao Chen muttered to himself as he looked at the Heavenly Flame in the cauldron, not showing much joy on his face.

He had anticipated that the Heavenly Flame could break through to Rank 3.

However, from the looks of things, the Heavenly Flame was still completely suppressed by the Heavenly Snow Divine Flame. There was no way to balance Yin and Yang. In that case, he could not use it to materialize the Taiji Yinyang Flame Diagram.

In the end, was it useless?

Xiao Chen put away the Heavenly Flame and frowned heavily. He pondered and muttered, “It looks like I can only think of another idea.”

Perhaps, there might be an opportunity at the Dragon Flame Ancient Land.

The Dragon Flame Ancient Land. Just from the name itself, it was clear that it was connected to fire.

However, there was no point going now. Xiao Chen had more important things to do. The greatest use of the Dragon Pattern Cauldron was not for the Heavenly Flame to swallow flames.

It was for Xiao Chen to cultivate a Dragon Race body tempering Cultivation Technique.

The Divine Dragon Body Tempering Art, which the Blood-Soaked Dragon Emperor gave Xiao Chen, required a good cauldron. A Dragon Race cauldron would be best.

This was Xiao Chen’s main consideration when he bid for the Dragon Pattern Cauldron. It was so that he could cultivate this Divine Dragon Body Tempering Art.
