Dragon Blood Body Tempering Art

## Summary

It was given to Long Chen by a dragon expert from Green Dragon Possession. It is only usable if one has Dragon Blood in their body as Spirit Blood or Dragon Blood Essence.

Dragon Blood Tempering Body Technique is a powerful technique that Long Chen obtained from the owner of the dragon scale that he found in the Jiuli Secret Realm. The owner of the dragon scale told Long Chen that he needed to have a thousand catties of strength (Long Chen had assumed that this requirement refers to the modern catty weight unit, in which each catty weighed thirty pounds) before he could cultivate this technique, but when he attempted the refinement he realized that requirement was in the old method of calculating catties (in which each catty weighed three hundred thousand pounds).

After Long Chen's cultivation base entered Expansion Sea Realm and his first four stars reached perfection, he was going to attempt to refine the blood in the scale. Shortly before, he was told that that would kill him because the dragon's minimum request included being a nine rank Celestial to be able to have the support of the Heavenly Daos. However, the Eastern Wasteland Bell pointed out that even a rank nine Celestial blessed with Heavenly Dao energy would most likely die upon refining that drop of blood, because it wasn't ordinary true dragon essence blood. It came from an emperor bloodline amongst the dragon race. Furthermore, if Long Chen then attempted to refine it without the assistance of the Heavenly Daos, he would have to rely on himself for everything, which led to a high chance of death. Finally, Long Chen doesn't know any techniques. If he just directly devoured that drop of blood like he intended, once he tried drawing out its energy, his body would just immediately explode. The Eastern Wasteland Bell taught him some seals so he could seal the blood within his body and refine it. While refining, he learned it wasn't just a body tempering technique but it would also give him the bloodline of a dragon.

## Story

Using dragon blood to temper the physical body was extremely dangerous.

There were two requirements to train in this technique. One was that you had the essence blood of a dragon, and the other was that you had one thousand catties of strength.

The dragon race expert had told Long Chen that his reverse scale only had a single drop of essence blood for Long Chen to use. Furthermore, this essence blood contained his spiritual memory, and it wouldn't fight back when Long Chen refined it.

As for the thousand catties of strength, that meant that the physical body could endure one thousand catties of force. This was something Long Chen had long since achieved. One catty was thirty pounds, so one thousand catties was just thirty thousand pounds. That was too easy for Long Chen.

But he kept feeling like something was wrong. If he could so easily refine the green dragon essence blood, how was it that he had been unable to use even one ten thousandth of the green dragon's strength?

The cultivation technique the dragon race expert had given him had been transmitted with immortal characters. But being afraid that Long Chen wouldn't understand it all, the dragon had also added in its own notations.

One of those notations said that the catty referred to in this cultivation technique was not the current catty, but the immortal era's catty. And the immortal era's catty was equivalent to... three hundred thousand pounds.

Thinking of that, Long Chen became covered in a cold sweat. Three hundred thousand pounds a catty... so then one thousand catties would be three hundred million pounds!

With his current strength, although he hadn't tested it, he estimated it should be around twenty million pounds. Twenty million and three hundred million... the difference was truly immense.

Long Chen would need to reach Innate before refining the green dragon essence blood.
