Chapter 169 Dragon Pill and Soul Core! A Mysterious Man in Black?
Half an hour later.
At this moment, on the banks on both sides of the Yin-Yang Eye of Ice and Fire.
Dugu Bo was seen pacing back and forth anxiously, sighing as he looked at the red and blue lake next to him every now and then, his face full of worry.
"My dear aunt."
Suddenly, he couldn't help but complain to Xiao Ruier, who was not far away:
"How could you let him go down alone?"
He then pointed to the churning lake water at the Yin-Yang Well, his voice tinged with lingering fear, "Do you know? Even if I went down into that lake, I couldn't withstand it! He...he...sigh..."
Upon hearing this, Xiao Ruier pursed her lips, seemingly at a loss for words.
"Don't worry, that kid took the divine herbs you have here, the spring water in the lake can't do anything to him." Although he was a little annoyed, the Crimson King still patiently explained.
Dugu Bo was still uneasy and asked, "But didn't you say there were other things down there?"
"What if he goes down and can't come back up?"
"I even offended Tang Hao for his sake..."
At this point, a hint of resentment flashed in Dugu Bo's eyes. If Tang Chuan really died down there, then his investment would be a complete failure, and he would also have offended many powerful figures.
"Old man, can you stop nagging? My young lady even gave him the Golden Dragon Spear, what else can he do after he goes down there?" The Crimson King said, annoyed and extremely displeased.
"If you keep muttering that, I'll slap you!"
Upon hearing this, Dugu Bo was so angry that his beard trembled, but he dared not say another word.
However, at that moment, a loud crash was heard.
Suddenly, a spray of water several meters high erupted from the lake of the Ice and Fire Yin-Yang Well, and a blue-gold figure shot out from it before landing steadily on the shore.
"Finally, we got the Dragon Pill."
Wiping the cold sweat from his forehead, Tang Chuan couldn't help but laugh.
"Kid, are you alright?" Upon seeing Tang Chuan's figure, Dugu Bo's eyes lit up. He flashed forward and instantly appeared in front of the former, nervously examining him.
"It's nothing." Tang Chuan shook his head and flicked the water droplets from his hair.
Then, he turned his gaze to Xiao Ruier, who was not far away, and nodded slightly.
"Rui'er, thank you. Everything went smoothly, I've retrieved the Dragon Pill."
As he spoke, he gently tossed the Golden Dragon Spear in his hand, which immediately drew a golden arc in the air before landing precisely in Xiao Ruier's hand.
Xiao Ruier nodded slightly and said softly, "I hope everything goes smoothly."
Stretching, Tang Chuan glanced around again and noticed someone was missing. He frowned slightly and asked, puzzled, "Where's Lingling?"
Dugu Bo patiently explained, "Don't you remember? Before you refined the pills for me, you had already given her the pills to evolve her Nine Heart Begonia Martial Soul. She's still absorbing the energy from the pills in my cave right now. After all, this girl's soul power is only around level 40, and her physical attributes are far inferior to mine, a Title Douluo, so naturally she absorbs it more slowly."
At this point, he suddenly looked up at the sky.
"However, it should be almost finished absorbing it by now."
A deep glint flashed in Tang Chuan's eyes as he surveyed the surrounding secret realm that had nurtured countless immortal herbs. His voice was decisive as he said, "In that case, let's tidy up a bit first. Once Lingling has finished absorbing the herbs, let's dig out all the mature immortal herbs here and take them with us."
"Tang San has already discovered this place, and he might sneak in again at any time. We can't possibly guard this place every moment."
His gaze swept over the exotic flowers and plants that emitted various colored halos, and Tang Chuan then walked to a celestial-grade medicinal herb and gently pulled it out of the soil.
"The rare medicinal herbs here take at least ten thousand years to mature. Once we dig them up and take them away, even if Tang San comes back, he won't get a single hair of them."
Upon hearing this, Dugu Bo was slightly taken aback, a look of pain immediately appearing on his face, but it quickly turned into helplessness as he nodded and said:
"Fine... No matter what, we can't let that brat Tang San get away with it."
…………
Several hours later, everyone returned safely to Tiandou City.
Before them stood a magnificent building, its grandeur astonishing.
The towering courtyard walls are made of white jade, which shimmer with a warm luster in the sunlight.
Above the wide arched gate hangs a gilded plaque covered with red cloth. On both sides of the porch stand more than ten carved stone pillars, each engraved with a different martial spirit pattern.
The complex stretches for miles, with teaching buildings, training grounds, and dormitories scattered throughout. Glazed tiles shimmer with iridescent light at the eaves, and soul-guiding lamps are neatly arranged along the long corridors.
The most eye-catching feature is the 100-meter-high clock tower in the center, with a sundial at the top that is slowly rotating, accurately projecting the light and shadow of the hour.
The entire college is not only grand in scale, but also exudes a solemn academic atmosphere, with every detail showcasing the exquisite and magnificent style of royal architecture.
"I didn't expect the academy to be completed so quickly. The royal family is really efficient." Looking at the magnificent building in front of him, Dugu Bo stroked his beard with some admiration.
Upon hearing this, Tang Chuan nodded and said seriously, "That's for sure."
"Moreover, this academy is open to all civilians of the Heaven Dou Empire. They pay so much tax to the country every year, so this is a case of taking from the people and using it for the people."
Dugu Bo asked with some curiosity, "By the way, what is the name of the academy?"
As the saying goes, "As heaven maintains vigor through movement, a gentleman should constantly strive for self-improvement."
After a moment of contemplation, Tang Chuan's expression darkened slightly. He glanced at the people around him and said in a serious tone, "I hope that every student here can strive for self-improvement, do what they can do right now, and fulfill their responsibilities."
After he finished speaking, he gently waved his hand, and a gentle breeze swept out.
The red cloth fluttered down, revealing four powerful characters that shone brightly in the sunlight.
"Skywalker Academy!"
Upon seeing this, everyone applauded and praised:
"Great! Skywalker Academy, that's a good name!"
"Let's go in and take a look."
"good!"
Amidst exclamations of admiration, everyone stepped into the academy together.
But as they walked, Xiao Ruier suddenly leaned close to Tang Chuan's ear and whispered:
"Come here for a moment, I have something to tell you."
Tang Chuan frowned slightly, a little puzzled, but still followed her to the side.
A moment later, the two arrived at a secluded corner of a corridor.
"Didn't you already get the Dragon Pill? Let me see it." After a moment of contemplation, Xiao Ruier suddenly turned around, looked at Tang Chuan not far away, and said in a deep voice.
Nodding slightly, Tang Chuan did not hesitate at all, and a golden light flashed in his hand.
Two dragon pills, one red and one blue, instantly appeared in his palm.
These two dragon pills, no bigger than pigeon eggs, emanated a chilling energy fluctuation.
The red dragon pills flowed with a fiery radiance like lava, while the blue dragon pills resembled solidified ice, with a layer of chilling frost on their surface.
Carefully sensing the aura emanating from the dragon pills, Xiao Ruier's eyes trembled slightly, and her voice carried a rare hint of solemnity as she asked, "Do you know how to use these two dragon pills?"
"Or rather, do you know what they do?"
"I know a little, but not much," Tang Chuan said casually, stroking his chin.
Xiao Ruier smiled and said, "The so-called Dragon Pill is the pill of a dragon."
Upon hearing this, Tang Chuan looked at her speechlessly.
"I didn't say anything wrong, why are you looking at me like that?" Seeing Tang Chuan's speechless expression, Xiao Ruier couldn't help but laugh and continued.
"Let me finish. The Dragon Core is an energy body that gradually condenses within a dragon after it reaches adulthood. It possesses the dragon's bloodline and primordial power and is used by dragons specifically to temper their spiritual consciousness."
"Its greatest function is to purify your body and improve the quality of your bloodline and bones. Simply put, once you consume the Dragon Pill, your body's strength will continuously evolve, eventually reaching the same level as a dragon. Furthermore, this thing has another function..."
"That is used to condense something that you human soul masters don't yet know about."
"Soul Core!"
Just as the two were talking, on a rooftop with glazed tiles not far away...
A middle-aged man dressed in black stood quietly.
He appeared to be in his early thirties, with a very handsome face, sharp eyebrows that slanted upwards, and most striking of all, a pair of dazzling golden eyes.
A gentle breeze ruffled a few strands of golden hair on his forehead, and the dark patterns on his black robe were faintly visible.
