Traversing the path of life and death

Chapter Thirty-Two Refining

Lin Yu looked at the dark green plant with excitement in his heart. He quickly walked to the plant and stared at it intently. The plant in the halo seemed to sense that someone was watching it. Its dark green branches and leaves that were sticking out slowly retracted, and the halo around it also slowly contracted.

Lin Yu was getting more and more excited. After all, it was a kind of luck to see the Nine Dragon Grass, which was only seen once in a thousand years, here. Moreover, the Nine Dragon Grass was right in front of him. How could Lin Yu not be excited?

Looking at the little grass, Lin Yu wished he could grab it and eat it immediately so that his strength could increase rapidly. Of course, that was impossible. Before that, he had to break the light circle.

Looking at the halo, Lin Yu was troubled. Just now, when Lin Yu tried to pick the Nine Dragon Grass, his palm was blocked by the halo, which prevented him from moving forward and forced him to linger outside the halo.

However, Lin Yu did not give up on the idea of ​​taking Nine Dragon Grass, since the benefits of taking Nine Dragon Grass are still very significant.

Nine Dragon Grass, as the name suggests, is a very rare herb. It has very high requirements for its growing environment, and there are two main conditions that are indispensable.

Nine Dragon Grass must grow in a sealed environment, without any light. Moreover, the growth cycle of each Nine Dragon Grass is very long, and each seedling is a great opportunity. Those who have attained enlightenment will cherish it and take great care of it. Obviously, the owner of this Nine Dragon Grass stored it very well after obtaining the seedling, so much so that it survived while all the other herbs around it died.

Most importantly, the Nine Dragon Grass must be born in a place where a dragon has fallen. Of course, it is very difficult for a dragon to fall, but who can know that a dragon has never fallen? Only in a place where a dragon has fallen can the Nine Dragon Grass grow, but the chances are very small. If the surrounding environment does not meet the requirements when the Nine Dragon Grass is born in a place where a dragon has fallen, the Nine Dragon Grass will quickly wither and disappear into the world.

Although the growing environment of the Nine Dragon Grass is very demanding, its effects are still quite unexpected.

As the saying goes, the more demanding a herb is on its environment and growth period, the more outstanding its effects should be, and the greater its benefit to the user. However, the consumption of Nine Dragon Grass is often a matter of chance.

Lin Yu knew about the Nine Dragon Grass because the first book he saw in the Lin family's library was about rare medicinal herbs, and coincidentally, the last chapter was about the Nine Dragon Grass. Although Lin Yu spent the whole day outside, he spent most of his evenings in the library.

Lin Yu remembered the Nine Dragon Grass very clearly. The book recorded that the Nine Dragon Grass could help people break through their realm and increase their strength. However, the effect varied from person to person, and it also depended on whether the user could absorb all of the Nine Dragon Grass. If the user could not digest it, the energy contained in the Nine Dragon Grass would be stored in the body and gradually absorbed as the realm improved.

If the Nine Dragon Grass only had this one effect, then it would be a disservice to its harsh living environment. Because the Nine Dragon Grass grows in the place where the dragon fell, it contains dragon energy. This dragon energy is not generated immediately after consuming the Nine Dragon Grass, but requires an opportunity.

Dragon energy has a fatal attraction for body cultivators. Often, after acquiring dragon energy, their combat power will be greatly enhanced. Conversely, for spirit cultivators, dragon energy has little effect on them and is dispensable.

"But there are very few people who truly possess dragon energy. But there is still a chance. For that last chance, I have to give it a try. Even if I can't succeed, at least I can break through my current level," Lin Yu thought to himself.

"It's obviously impossible to force it open, so how can we open it?" Lin Yu muttered to himself, looking at the Nine Dragon Grass shrouded in light.

Lin Yu looked at the scene around the aperture, observing carefully, afraid of missing an important place. Lin Yu kept exploring like this, but there was no doubt at all. It was best to focus his attention on the aperture.

Lin Yu gently placed his right hand on the light circle, but the light circle still did not react at all. Lin Yu's mind raced, thinking of a way to break the light circle. His gaze slowly moved from the light circle to the ring on his right hand. The moment he thought of the ring, an idea to break the light circle appeared in Lin Yu's mind.

Lin Yu seemed to be sneering at the Nine Dragon Grass. He put his right hand into his mouth, bit it lightly, and then pointed his bleeding right index finger at the circle of light.

Lin Yu's tense expression finally eased when he saw the light circle fade visibly as the blood touched it. A slight smile then appeared on his face.

Finally, the Nine Dragon Grass was fully exposed to Lin Yu. Lin Yu carefully observed the appearance of the Nine Dragon Grass. The dark green leaves of the Nine Dragon Grass began to fade the moment the light circle broke. Lin Yu was extremely anxious when he saw this, but he didn't know what to do. After all, his teacher had gone deep into the cave and had not returned yet. Lin Yu became more and more anxious, and then he made an impulsive move.

Lin Yu hurriedly grabbed the Nine Dragon Grass from the ground and put it in his mouth. He thought he would have to chew it for a while before swallowing, but the moment he put the Nine Dragon Grass in his mouth, it disappeared. Lin Yu was surprised. He had just put the Nine Dragon Grass in his mouth, so why did it suddenly disappear?

Lin Yu quickly searched his body for the Nine Dragon Grass, but it was nowhere to be found. Instead, he saw dark green particles all over his body. Countless particles were wandering around his body, showing no signs of decreasing. On the contrary, the dark green color was gradually increasing. "Obviously, those dark green particles are the Nine Dragon Grass," Lin Yu thought.

Lin Yu casually found a quiet place to sit down and then began to refine the dark green particles in his body. Lin Yu circulated the "Nine Heavens Transformation Witchcraft Technique" within the forest, and the dark green particles began to rotate along the trajectory of the technique. With each cycle, the dark green particles decreased by one point, but Lin Yu could clearly feel the energy gathering.

Soon, Lin Yu entered a state of cultivation. At this moment, Lin Yu felt that the energy in his body was enough to break through the fifth level of the Solid Body Realm and enter the sixth level, but Lin Yu did not want to enter so early. He tightly suppressed his entire body, and the trajectory of the cultivation technique continued to operate endlessly.

Gradually, Lin Yu became engrossed in cultivation, completely unaware of his surroundings. His entire body was enveloped in a dark green color, giving him a sacred and life-giving aura.

Lin Yu continued to restrain his strength from increasing, but he did not slow down his refining of the dark green particles. The refining process continued.
