Ten years ago, Xiao Li had already reached the peak of Foundation Establishment.
As for the Five Elements, that dates back even further.
It was exceptionally gifted; even while still in the secret realm, it was already a spirit beast that had reached the peak of the Foundation Establishment stage.
Its physical body is also exceptionally strong, comparable to the early stage of the Golden Core realm.
Ten years ago, Xiao Li and Wu Xing were already qualified to undergo tribulation.
However, back then, after observing the old doctor undergoing his tribulation, the two little ones felt the terror of the heavenly tribulation.
Later, I learned that the Golden Core Tribulation had different levels, which would affect the path ahead.
They both proposed to postpone their tribulations and continue to hone and accumulate their foundations so that they could forge an even stronger foundation during the Golden Core tribulation.
Lu Qing was naturally pleased with the two little ones' ambitions.
Therefore, for the past ten years, we have not urged them to undergo tribulations, but allowed them to continue to accumulate and refine themselves.
Xiao Li and Wu Xing were both taken aback by Lu Qing's sudden question.
After thinking for a moment, Xiao Li said, "Over the years, I have been working hard to cultivate the techniques in my bloodline inheritance and hone my foundation. Now, I have almost reached my limit and there is no way to advance further."
"You can undergo tribulation anytime you want, but it's unknown what level of tribulation it will trigger."
"Me too, I've already polished it to its limit." The Five-Colored Winged Serpent nodded in agreement.
Xiao Li possesses a bloodline inheritance; when it entered the Innate Realm, it awakened a portion of its bloodline inheritance.
Over the years, as its cultivation level has improved, it has also cultivated the inherited techniques to a very profound level.
By now, they have almost exhausted their potential and can hardly make any more progress.
As for the five-colored winged serpent, that's even more true.
It was born from the Five Elements Secret Realm and is a strange and magical beast without father or mother, born and raised by nature.
There is no inheritance within the bloodline; one can only cultivate by instinct.
Therefore, its progress over the past ten years has been less than that of Xiaoli.
"Have you reached your limit...?" Lu Qing nodded slightly.
He took out two jade bottles from the Qiankun Qi Bag.
"Here are two portions of true blood, which I obtained in exchange with a senior beast."
That senior beast was powerful, highly skilled, and possessed an extraordinary bloodline.
"Look at these two samples of real blood. See if they'll be of any use to you."
Lu Qing opened the stopper of one of the jade bottles, and a strange fragrance wafted out.
The true blood extracted from the old dragon turtle not only had no bloody smell, but {N•o•v•e•l•i•g•h•t} also had a unique fragrance.
"This is!"
Upon smelling the unusual fragrance, Xiao Li and Wu Xing immediately widened their eyes and stared intently at the jade bottle in Lu Qing's hand.
Their instincts told them that the contents of the jade bottle were extremely attractive to them.
If they could be refined, they would likely gain unimaginable benefits.
The five-colored winged serpent, in particular, felt a surge of excitement within it.
It sensed that the treasures in the jade bottle were even more attractive to it than the lotus seeds of the Five Elements Lotus.
If it weren't for the deep-seated awe for its master that was suppressing it, it would have almost immediately snatched the jade bottle away.
"Aqing, you said this is for us?"
Xiao Li asked excitedly.
"Of course, but you should act according to your abilities. These two portions of true blood are no small matter. Their source is an extremely remarkable senior beast, so they may not be so easy to refine."
Lu Qing handed the two bottles of true blood to Xiao Li and Wu Xing respectively.
The source of these two true blood samples is none other than the Nine Tribulations Beast, "Ancestral Dragon".
Although the bloodline of the old dragon turtle has been diluted to an unknown extent by this generation, it is still not to be underestimated.
That's why Lu Qing gave them special instructions.
"Don't worry, Aqing, we'll remember!"
Xiao Li took the jade bottle, very excited.
"Alright, then you can go inside the cave to refine it. I'll protect you."
Before long, in the Jade Transformation Cave, Xiao Li and Wu Xing had each taken a spot and were preparing to begin refining the true blood in the jade bottle.
Lu Qing and Xiao Yan then acted as their protectors.
Watching Xiao Li and Wu Xing swallow the true blood and begin refining it, a hint of anticipation appeared in Lu Qing's eyes.
He had already used his special ability to examine the true blood that the old dragon turtle had given him beforehand, and there was nothing wrong with it.
Furthermore, one of the messages revealed by the supernatural ability also showed...
If a gifted being were to refine true blood, there might even be a slight chance of obtaining the true "Ancestral Dragon" primordial bloodline.
Xiao Li and Wu Xing are not ordinary spirit beasts.
The latest novels are first published on 69shuba!
Needless to say, the Five Elements are naturally formed and nurtured by nature. Those born in the secret realm inherently possess the power of the Five Elements within their bodies.
Looking at the whole world, it is an extremely peculiar existence.
Xiao Li is also quite extraordinary.
The origins and foundation of the Black Night Spirit Fox clan, while not as extravagant as those of the Five-Colored Winged Serpent, are still far beyond what ordinary spirit beasts can match.
More importantly, Xiao Li has had several opportunities since she started following Lu Qing.
It has not only undergone several transformations, but has also greatly deepened its own foundation.
He has also awakened two innate supernatural abilities, and in terms of potential, he is probably even more exaggerated than the Five Elements.
Therefore, Lu Qing had high expectations for the results of their refining of true blood.
If one were to strike it lucky, even if they couldn't awaken the original bloodline of the "Ancestral Dragon," but only the original bloodline of the Suanni, that would still be an excellent thing.
As Lu Qing watched with anticipation, Xiao Li and Wu Xing were both refining the true blood with great seriousness.
As the true blood was continuously refined and integrated into their bodies, a faint but powerful aura gradually emerged from them.
The aura wasn't particularly strong, but it was still awe-inspiring, even causing Lu Qing to feel a slight sense of unease.
"It seems that they were all refined very smoothly."
Lu Qing was delighted to see this.
So far, Xiao Li and the refining of the Five Elements have gone very smoothly without any setbacks.
This inexplicable aura must have come from that true blood.
Time passed slowly, and nothing unusual happened during Xiao Li and Wu Xing's process of refining the true blood.
Instead, the imposing aura emanating from him began to slowly become more substantial.
Finally, after reaching a critical point, the two little ones' bodies jolted simultaneously.
Then a powerful suction force emanated from their bodies, engulfing the rich spiritual energy within the cave.
A large amount of spiritual energy gathered, forming bursts of white mist that engulfed their bodies.
Seeing this, Lu Qing made a hand seal, and the great array in the cave began to operate, directly absorbing the spiritual energy from within a radius of dozens of miles to supply the two little ones with what they needed for their transformation.
The reason he wanted Xiao Li and the others to refine their true blood in the Jade Transformation Cave was for this very moment.
With the support of the cave array, their transformation can be made easier.
Xiao Li and the Five Elements' transformation lasted for a full half day.
During this time, they absorbed a large amount of spiritual energy, disappearing into the dense white mist of spiritual energy.
If the spiritual energy of the Ten Thousand Mountains hadn't become much richer over the past decade, even with the support of the grand formation, it would have been difficult to sustain their voracious appetite.
Finally, when the transformation within their bodies came to an end, Xiao Li and the others stopped absorbing spiritual energy.
The white mist gradually dissipated, revealing their figures.
