#169 - Bathing in Dragon's Blood

At the same time, just as this golden current of energy originating from the dragon bloodline was constantly strengthening Liang Yue's body and internal cultivation, the data on his personal panel was also rapidly increasing.

Whether it was the four-dimensional attributes such as strength, agility, physique, and energy, or the cultivation progress of "Primordial Unity Skill," they were all constantly improving at a speed visible to the naked eye.

However, Liang Yue naturally didn't have the leisure to take a look at his character panel right now.

At this moment, he needed to focus all his attention on cultivation, and at this moment, Liang Yue had already involuntarily entered the state of selflessness he had experienced before.

What was different was that previously, he was in a state of epiphany, feeling the meaning of mountains and rivers and nature, and was drawn into a state of understanding and epiphany by some kind of opportunity.

But now, he was being forced to put all his energy into it under the infusion of a more overbearing energy, thus entering into epiphany again.

The cultivation of "Primordial Unity Skill" was a milestone for him~

Because although this Taoist cultivation method emphasizes purity, nature, and the unity of man and nature, the body parts it exercises and the meridians it opens up are different for each level of cultivation.

Therefore, in order to make it easier for himself in the current state of high-speed cultivation, he would not forget to convert to the next level of cultivation path due to the improvement of skill proficiency and the advancement of internal strength level.

The system also gave him enough convenience in this regard for the first time.

Whenever it was time to change the cultivation path, the system would always come out proactively and act as Liang Yue's guide.

In addition to subtly instilling the content of the new level of internal energy mental method into his mind, giving him a general impression of the level of skill.

At the same time, it would also deliberately guide the internal energy in his meridians to completely run through the new level of skill operation route.

This method can be said to be quite considerate!

Therefore, although Liang Yue was in a state of semi-consciousness at this time, he could vaguely feel the changes and adjustments in his skill cultivation route in the dark.

It was precisely by relying on this method that, although he was oblivious to the outside world at this moment, he still maintained a vague conceptual understanding of his internal energy cultivation progress.

……

"Ding~! It has been detected that the host's various body values have reached above 100, meeting the conditions for opening the system's level 2 permissions. May I ask the host, whether to upgrade the permissions immediately."

Just as Liang Yue was slowly disengaging from deep cultivation, unconsciously moving his hands and feet, his mind was still a little unclear, and he was slowly recovering.

The system's prompt suddenly sounded in his mind at this time.

"System permission upgrade? You also have this function! I... what, how long will this permission upgrade take, and what impact will it have on me?"

Liang Yue knocked on his head at this time, shook his head, tried to wake himself up quickly, and then quickly asked after thinking about it.

After looking around the dark Dragon Heart, he lightly leaped and climbed out of the gap above his head.

Afterwards, Liang Yue stood on Smaug's chest and looked around, and found that there were only two people in the empty treasure vault at this time, Arwen and Thorin, plus him, there were three~

At this time, Arwen was sitting on top of the dragon Smaug's head, wearing a rabbit reconnaissance hat, looking a little preoccupied. After hearing the movement here, she immediately turned her head and showed Liang Yue a sweet smile.

However, when this woman saw Liang Yue covered in dragon blood, she immediately restrained her expression and frowned and stepped back.

Well~ that's normal.

In contrast, Thorin's state at this time was a bit wrong.

At this moment, Thorin had changed into a gorgeous robe and wore a dwarf crown, looking at the sea of gold coins under his feet with a fascinated look.

That kind of expression was like a miser~!

Seeing Liang Yue drilling out of the dragon's chest, a bit of vigilance subconsciously appeared on his face, but then he covered it up.

"You seem a little off, Thorin!"

Liang Yue saw all of this, and as his thoughts turned, he shook his head helplessly.

Afterwards, he jumped off Smaug's body, and while speaking, he walked towards the other side of the circular stone steps.

Waving his hand at Arwen, who was covering her nose, and then took out a bucket on his own, and poured the water in the bucket high down against the wall.

Suddenly, a steady stream of clear water appeared here.

Liang Yue closed his eyes slightly at this moment, bathed in the surging water, constantly washing away the blood and dirt on his body.

"Thank you for your greetings, Liang Yue, but I'm fine now!"

"You look like you haven't slept for three or four days."

"To be precise, it's been five days. It's been a full five days since you drilled into the dragon's body. Thorin has been staying in this treasure vault all this time, staring at those gold coins."

Arwen glanced at someone who was undressing at this time, then quickly turned her gaze away, and continued to stab the knife while sitting on the dragon's head.

"Yes, I've been looking at these gold coins all this time, but I feel great now. Do you know, Liang Yue, these gold coins are so cute, they can bring me infinite power!"

"Remember, what did I tell you when we were outside that passage, Thorin?"

"Remember~"

"Then what did I say at that time?"

"You said... you, you, impossible! Could it be that I'm really tempted by black magic? Impossible! The evil dragon Smaug is already dead!"

"Yes, Smaug is already dead, Thorin, but I guess in order to prevent other races from threatening the Lonely Mountain King City before the dwarf army arrives, you must have chosen to close all the passages leading to the outside world, right?"

"That's for sure! I should do this!"

"You should indeed do this, Thorin."

Speaking of this, Liang Yue's voice paused slightly, and his eyes suddenly became crystal clear and radiant!

Because at this moment, he had received the message that the system permission upgrade was completed, and the corresponding content update had also been sent to this guy's mind.

However, in order to complete the conversation with Thorin, he could only put these aside for the time being~

"But your act of closing the King City also blocked the air circulation between the outside world and the inside of Lonely Mountain, just like the black magic in the Mirkwood Forest, they are filled in the dirty air.

I think~ what you should do most now is to get some fresh air, Thorin."

"...No! I'm fine now! I'm not going anywhere!"

"That's simple! I'll give you fresh air, okay?"

"Um, thank you Liang Yue..."

……

Woo~~~

As Liang Yue's brand blower started again, a fresh air mixed with ice coolness, ice crystal energy, and the fragrance of birch wood suddenly surged out from in front of someone.

Facing Thorin in the sea of gold coins below, it surged over him head-on.

However, Thorin was obviously deeply poisoned at this time. Although he still looked like he was enjoying himself, spreading his arms to welcome the baptism of natural breath.

But according to Liang Yue's observation, it was not until five or six minutes later that the other party slowly woke up from the previous state and restored the posture that a king of a race should have!

The other dwarves, including Bilbo Baggins, also noticed the movement here at this time, so they came over one after another.

"I'm fine now, guys, I've made you worry."

Bathing in mc's pure air, Thorin shivered subconsciously at this time, with a trace of exhaustion between his eyebrows, and said to the people around him with a staggering pace.

"You should rest, Thorin, go to sleep, and everything will be fine when you wake up."

Several dwarves helped Thorin up at this time, and it seemed that they wanted to carry him to another room to rest.

"Use my bed, as long as he sleeps on it, he can recover all his strength the next day."

After Liang Yue put away the endless water source, he also walked down the steps and said to the dwarves in front of him.

In the process, he naturally did not forget to put Smaug's huge corpse into the stronghold world, and pulled Arwen, who was also in a strange state, away from this treasure vault.
