Why is it that the offspring of two different dragon types can give birth to a more powerful dragon? It all comes down to the fact that the Dragon Clan's heritage is passed through bloodlines, hence the saying that dragon blood possesses spirit.

This "spirit" refers to a sense of spirituality.

The bottle of dragon blood in Luo Lie's hand came from a dragon at the Shattering Stage, which means it's just a step away from the Impeccable Golden Body, a very powerful state. This also means the dragon blood's effects are even stronger.

Thus, Luo Lie, who cultivates the Celestial Dragon-Elephant Scripture, cautiously took out just a single drop.

He placed this drop of dragon blood on his heart.

At first, there was no reaction when the dragon blood touched his skin. But as Luo Lie circulated his internal energy through the meridians around his heart, the dragon blood began to emit a faint dragon essence, almost forming a dragon shadow, and started to penetrate his skin, entering his heart.

A strong heart is essential before refining the entire body.

As the blood entered his heart, it began to beat violently.

Luo Lie felt a bit breathless and uncomfortable all over, but it wasn't particularly intense.

After just seven or eight breaths, this awkward feeling disappeared. When he looked inside himself, he found a faint blood-colored membrane had formed over his heart, almost invisible, yet undeniably present.

That membrane seemed to be guarding his heart.

"Indeed."

"The notes the Overlord added in the book are true."

"If one's physical condition reaches an extraordinary level, the dragon blood no longer just enhances physical toughness, because it's already strong enough. At this point, the spiritual aspect of the dragon blood manifests, forming an internal protection."

"This so-called internal protection forms a seemingly useless shield over the internal organs, but its true function is immense, even life-saving."

Luo Lie stared intently at the bottle of dragon blood in his hand.

He was genuinely excited.

After a while, he calmed his racing heart and began to apply the dragon blood, bit by bit, over various parts of his body.

Due to his low cultivation level, even though his body had been tempered by the Celestial Dragon-Elephant Scripture, its endurance was still limited.

So he applied it little by little. The sensation wasn't painful, just awkward and uncomfortable, but it was easy to endure.

Ultimately, he used up four-fifths of the dragon blood to complete the full-body cleansing.

On the outside, he appeared unchanged. Unlike others, who would naturally exude a faint dragon aura after using dragon blood, making it easy to detect, he had none of that.

However, upon internal inspection, one would find that all of Luo Lie's fragile internal organs and meridians were covered by a faint, almost invisible membrane.

The purpose of this protection is that when Luo Lie fights someone, although his bones and skin are strong, they can't block all impacts. For instance, during his battle with Long Nu, he spat blood because his internal organs were injured. It wasn't too serious because Long Nu wasn't strong enough. If he had this membrane protection back then, he wouldn't have spat blood, as the force penetrating his skin and bones would have been blocked by the membrane.

And if someone could break through this membrane protection, it would mean they could shatter Luo Lie's internal organs directly. However, thanks to this protection, it would only result in severe internal injuries, not death.

Additionally, Luo Lie's strength had also increased significantly.

When he stepped out of the Martial Dao Hall, he found Xue Bingning still guarding him. He didn't know when she had arrived, but seeing the faint dragon aura around her, he knew she had already used Fate Palace Stage Dragon Blood to cleanse her body.

Moreover, Xue Bingning's skin, already as white as snow, now appeared even more delicate and smooth.

"You've come out."

Xue Bingning smiled, "Huh? You didn't use dragon blood for body refining?" Luo Lie shrugged nonchalantly, "I did, but I'm too powerful for the dragon traits to show on me."

Xue Bingning was delighted to hear this, "That's even better, it helps conceal the 'Dragon in the Crotch' identity."

"When did Sister Bingning arrive? Are you planning to discuss the dragon in the crotch with me?"

Luo Lie teased.

"You scoundrel, you're getting bolder with your words in front of me."

Xue Bingning scolded.

Luo Lie laughed heartily, unconcerned.

Knowing it was useless to scold him, Xue Bingning said, "I came because I had something to do. During your seclusion, Su Qiusheng came looking for you, and I was worried you'd be disturbed, so I came to guard you."

"What did he want with me?"

Luo Lie was a bit surprised.

Xue Bingning arranged for someone to notify Su Qiusheng.

Before long, Su Qiusheng arrived at the Overlord's Palace.

Since Su Qiusheng had previously stated it was a private matter concerning the Southern Li Royal Palace, he hadn't disclosed it to Xue Bingning, so she didn't stay to listen and left voluntarily.

In the side hall, only Luo Lie and Su Qiusheng were present.

After exchanging greetings, Su Qiusheng said, "Young Prince, Tailai seeks death."

"Let him live well."

Luo Lie despised traitors. He had often been tattled on during his school days, and now that he had caught one, he wouldn't let him off easily.

Since the Overlord's Trial ended, two months had passed.

Tailai, who used to be just the chief steward of the Southern Li Royal Palace, was respected in the Royal Capital, receiving favors and enjoying a high status. Suddenly, he was imprisoned, forbidden from cultivating, reading, or speaking, just left to sit idly in a room. Two days of this would be unbearable, let alone two months.

Naturally, the people of the Southern Li Royal Palace also despised traitors. Su Qiusheng took the opportunity to thoroughly clean up the palace, dealing with all of Tailai's associates. Even those without evidence but suspected were removed, leaving only the absolutely loyal ones.

Moreover, Su Qiusheng strictly followed Luo Lie's orders, ensuring Tailai couldn't even commit suicide. They provided him with good food and drink but destroyed one of his favorite collections in front of him every day, striking him hard psychologically.

Su Qiusheng said, "He wants to use an item to request the Young Prince to kill him."

"What item?"

Luo Lie asked.

"It's a waist token."

Su Qiusheng took it out and handed it over.

Luo Lie examined the waist token.

It wasn't particularly special, silver in color with dragon patterns around the edges. One side had the word "Carefree," and the other depicted a strange flower.

Luo Lie wondered, "Is this a token from the Carefree Pavilion in the Royal Capital?"

"Exactly."

Su Qiusheng replied, "But the people from the Carefree Pavilion in the Royal Capital don't have similar tokens. I asked Tailai, but he wouldn't say. He only mentioned that there are less than five of these tokens in the entire Northern Waters Kingdom. If the Young Prince wants to know more, he can ask the Monarch."

Considering that Tailai was seeking death, he wouldn't dare deceive him. Luo Lie took the token next door.

Next door, Xue Bingning was enjoying tea and reading, exuding tranquility. Hearing footsteps, she looked up at Luo Lie, about to speak, when her eyes caught the token in his hand. Her hand trembled, and the teacup fell to the ground, shattering. She ignored it, staring intently at the token, "Carefree Silver Dragon Token!"
