Chapter 660: Chapter 250: Top Level Spiritual Body, Black Dragon Codex!_3 “` Suddenly, the practice methods related to the “Black Dragon Codex” burst into Lu Changsheng’s mind, as if pouring down like enlightening nectar. He didn’t know how much time had passed. “Hiss, this Black Dragon Codex really has something!” Lu Changsheng opened his eyes, revealing a hint of joy. Through the system’s inheritance, he had become thoroughly familiar with this Black Dragon Codex. He found that although it was a technique of the Peripheral Sect Level, it was much more powerful than the Peripheral Sect Level “Red Phoenix True Scripture” which he had acquired. This technique, just as the system had introduced, could allow one to transform into a black dragon upon complete mastery. It counted as a technique that dual cultivate both magical abilities and physical body, or one could say it primarily focused on body refinement. In the presence of water veins or sea areas, the power of this technique could be further enhanced. But what truly excited Lu Changsheng was that within this technique lay a method for cultivating a top-level Dao Soldier. The Blackwater Dragon Spirit Weapon! One would first craft a ‘Blackwater Dragon Spell’ restriction, then infuse the restriction into the body of an aquatic demon beast with dragon blood, and through continuous nurturing, strengthen its body, cultivate its spirituality, accumulate its essence, slowly advancing it into a ‘Blackwater Dragon’ Dao Soldier! This ‘Blackwater Dragon Dao Soldier’ had the potential to reach the Third Rank as a Dao Soldier. Even without having cultivated the Black Dragon Codex, one could still craft it. If a cultivator of the “Black Dragon Codex” were to nurture dozens or hundreds of ‘Blackwater Dragon Dao Soldiers’, he could form a Great Formation and dominate the waters, defeating enemies beyond his level with absolute ease. If one could completely master the “Black Dragon Codex” and transform into a black dragon, he could even integrate all the ‘Blackwater Dragon Dao Soldiers’ into his divine spirit, comparable to Divinity Transformation! “Blackwater Dragon Dao Soldier.” “Every ten years, almost on schedule, a dragon carp is born in Bi Shui Lake.” “This dragon carp, also known as the young dragon breed, could potentially be used to cultivate Blackwater Dragon Spirit Weapons.” “Moreover, to be honest, the Red Blood Carp and Blue Blood Carp also contain a trace amount of dragon blood in their bodies, which could be tried in cultivating Dao Soldiers.” “Even if that doesn’t work out, with the unparalleled environmental advantage of Bi Shui Lake, I can also purchase the relevant aquatic demon beasts from outside to cultivate these ‘Blackwater Dragon Dao Soldiers’!” Lu Changsheng muttered to himself, filled with joy. The previously acquired “Ninety-Nine Mystical Talisman Scripture” also contained methods to refine Dao Soldiers. 𝒇𝒓𝒆𝒆𝙬𝒆𝒃𝓷𝒐𝓿𝙚𝙡.𝒄𝓸𝒎 But those talisman weapons, not only did they consume time and energy in their creation, but they also required the expenditure of one’s cultivation level to nurture, which was quite troublesome for him. Now, these ‘Blackwater Dragon Dao Soldiers’ required no such expenditure of energy, only money to slowly cultivate. With the environment of Bi Shui Lake, if he could nurture dozens or even hundreds of Blackwater Dragon Spirit Weapons at home, it would be a significant foundation for his family in the future. “However, the ‘Black Dragon Codex’ has one flaw; it affects fertility as one’s realm advances.” “While not to the point of sterility, after cultivating it, conceiving offspring becomes many times more difficult than under normal circumstances. Thus, it’s mandatory to disclose this before teaching this technique,” Lu Changsheng exhaled softly. Logically, top-level techniques wouldn’t have any side effects. However, extremely powerful techniques often came with certain side effects, such as Xiao Xiyue’s Supreme Forgetful Love Technique. But with offspring who possess a Spiritual Root, many who are single don’t plan to marry, so Lu Changsheng would also base his decision on their wishes. “Let’s see what change has occurred to my second-grade Spiritual Root’s cultivation speed.” Lu Changsheng exhaled lightly, and walked out of the Talisman Crafting Room in a good mood, heading towards his private cultivation room to check on the cultivation speed of his second-grade Spiritual Root. He would also take this opportunity to see if the Flawless Heavenly Fragrance Body had any effect on cultivation. “Hm?” Just then, Xiao Xiyue happened to walk out of a cave dwelling. Seeing Lu Changsheng, her cool demeanor showed a hint of surprise. She felt that there was some change in Lu Changsheng before her. But exactly what had changed, she couldn’t quite put her finger on it just then. “Xi Yue, what’s wrong?” “` Lu Changsheng saw a trace of surprise on Xiao Xiyue’s face and asked with a smile. “It’s nothing. I just feel like, Changsheng, there’s been a subtle, inexplicable change in your aura.” Xiao Xiyue said so. “An inexplicable change in aura?” Lu Changsheng was startled when he heard this. He knew Xiao Xiyue wouldn’t have such a feeling for no reason. At once, he thought of the Flawless Heavenly Fragrance Body and guessed it was this constitution that brought about the subtle, inexplicable change. Just like the “Immortal Beauty Technique” and Peach Blossom Gu had each brought changes to him. “Could it be, this Flawless Heavenly Fragrance Body naturally possesses a bewitching effect?” Thinking of his daughter Nangong Yaoyao’s talents, Lu Changsheng’s heart skipped a beat. If that really were the case, he felt as though he was racing down a path of ‘billions of fairies’ and witches’ dreams.’ He said with a light laugh, “I’ve made some progress in a Cultivation Technique, which might have caused a small enhancement to my aura and charisma.” “I didn’t expect Changsheng to actually spend time on this aspect.” Upon hearing this, smiles appeared on Xiao Xiyue’s cool face. Having known Lu Changsheng for so many years, she naturally knew that Lu Changsheng cultivated some kind of beauty-preserving Cultivation Technique. Otherwise, there couldn’t have been such a great change in his appearance and aura. Such a thing was quite common in the Cultivation World. However, it was mostly female cultivators who would cultivate such techniques, with very few male cultivators spending time and resources in this area. Now that Lu Changsheng had broken through Foundation Establishment and still cultivated such a technique was even rarer. “Everyone has a heart for beauty.” “Xi Yue, if you’re interested, I can teach you this technique.” “But, my own Xi Yue is already so beautiful, it seems unnecessary for you to use such techniques.” Lu Changsheng said with a smile. “Smooth talker.” Xiao Xiyue’s expression relaxed into a smile, the coldness gone. “Why do I also smell a faint fragrance? It’s quite pleasant.” Xiao Xiyue sniffed gently and detected a faint, refreshing fragrance on Lu Changsheng. “That’s also a result of the recent breakthrough in the technique.” Lu Changsheng explained. Xiao Xiyue did not inquire further, simply noting that the fragrance was very comforting and complemented Lu Changsheng’s spring breeze-like aura perfectly. After a few words of chat, Xiao Xiyue left to find her daughter, Lu Wangshu, upon hearing that Lu Changsheng wanted to go into seclusion. Lu Changsheng then went to his seclusion chamber and sat down to cultivate. Time passed bit by bit. “Whew!” After half a day, Lu Changsheng opened his eyes and exhaled a long breath of turbid air. “As expected of a Second Rank Spiritual Root, speed increased by six or seven tenths compared to before!” “However, this Flawless Heavenly Fragrance Body doesn’t seem to enhance the speed of cultivation. It just adds some resilience to my meridians and Dantian.” “No, that’s not right. It should be said there’s no enhancement for Foundation Establishment Cultivators, but for Energy Refining Cultivators who haven’t yet started cultivating, the effect is significant.” “Given this pace, if I cultivate in peace, in at most two years, I should be able to break through.” Lu Changsheng murmured to himself.
