The Extreme Alchemist of the Mighty Cauldron Chapter 938

Chapter 938: Chapter 938: Dragon Scales Chapter 938: Chapter 938: Dragon Scales Although Fang Lin had only been to the Dragon Blood Pool once, and a lot of time had passed since then, he still remembered the location of the Dragon Blood Pool.

Soon, Fang Lin and Dugu Nian caught sight of a majestic mountain peak and atop it lay a pool.

“Is that the Dragon Blood Pool?” Dugu Nian curiously observed the pool atop the mountain.

Fang Lin smiled and shook his head, “That's just an illusion. The real Dragon Blood Pool is inside the mountain.”

With that, Fang Lin approached the array and took out three Tokens.

As soon as the three Tokens appeared, they each released a beam of light. These beams merged together and shone onto the array's light screen.

After a brief wait, the array opened, revealing a crevice.

“Follow me,” Fang Lin said, entering the array first, with Dugu Nian closely behind.

Upon entering the array, everything changed. What was seen from the outside was illusory, only within the array was the reality.

Familiar with the path, Fang Lin led Dugu Nian directly into the cave where the Dragon Blood Pool was located.

The atmosphere remained the same; surges of the potent Dragon Qi emanated from deep within the cave, surprising Dugu Nian with their intensity.

However, Fang Lin's brow twitched slightly. When he had visited the Dragon Blood Pool last time, the aura had been even stronger than it was now. It seemed that the power contained within the Dragon Blood Pool was indeed diminishing continuously.

This time, Fang Lin's goal wasn't the Dragon Blood Pool itself, but the True Dragon stone statue in front of him.

This statue of the True Dragon was lifelike, giving the impression that it might suddenly come to life and soar into the sky.

Of course, the statue itself wasn't unusual, but what made it special was a dragon scale sealed within.

Dugu Nian looked at the statue with a solemn expression, sensing an extremely powerful presence within it.

“Is there really a dragon scale in there?” Dugu Nian asked.

Fang Lin nodded and placed a hand on the True Dragon stone statue.

It felt slightly warm, as if the statue had a temperature of its own, but when Fang Lin clenched his hand, he couldn't budge the statue by the slightest bit.

To put it into perspective, with Fang Lin's current strength, even refined iron would be squeezed out of shape. The statue appeared ordinary but resisted Fang Lin's strength, probably related to the dragon scale sealed within it.

“What are you waiting for? Just smash it and take out the dragon scale,” Dugu Nian urged, eager to see what the dragon scale looked like.

Fang Lin frowned and did not dare to act recklessly, studying the statue carefully for a long time.

Suddenly, a strange sensation emanated from his chest; the Kylin Demon Bone was reacting.

“Hm?” Fang Lin felt puzzled. The reaction from the Kylin Demon Bone – was it sensing the presence of the dragon scale, longing for the scale within the statue?

The Kylin Demon Bone emitted a black light, becoming very active. It transformed into a Kylin's claw, reaching out towards the statue.

This scene was quite bizarre.

Dugu Nian stood by, watching Fang Lin without blinking, or more precisely, watching the black Kylin's claw that emerged from his chest.

The claw grasped the True Dragon stone statue and exerted force, causing the statue to tremble.

It wasn't just the statue; the entire cave seemed to shake as if half of it was about to collapse.

Fang Lin was startled and tried to stop the Demon Bone's action, but to his horror, he found he couldn't control his body. The Kylin Demon Bone seemed to have slipped out of his control and gained autonomous ability.

The Kylin Demon Bone continued to exert its power, yet the stone statue remained exceptionally sturdy, without the slightest sign of fracturing. On the contrary, it emanated waves of golden light.

Roar!!!

The True Dragon Roar echoed from within the stone statue; although it was faint, it carried the true majesty of a dragon, shaking Fang Lin's spirit and striking fear into Dugu Nian.

The next moment, a Kylin's Roar similarly resounded from within Fang Lin's body, accompanied by the Kylin's Might, confronting the dragon's majesty.

The True Dragon and the Kylin were both powerful ancient creatures that existed in the olden times. By the era of Fang Lin's previous life, they had essentially become extinct.

Now, the two great beings were clashing in a special manner, or perhaps communicating with one another.

From the initial shock, Fang Lin slowly calmed down and even felt a sense of anticipation.

The True Dragon Scale was difficult to extract, but as he possessed the Kylin Demon Bone, perhaps with its power, he could manage to retrieve the True Dragon Scale.

As time passed, the aura of the Kylin Demon Bone completely gained the upper hand.

This was not surprising, after all, the Kylin Demon Bone was a complete legacy bone from within a Kylin's body, whereas the stone statue merely contained a single Dragon Scale. In terms of hierarchy, the Kylin Demon Bone was much superior.

The stone statue cracked open little by little from the center.

Suddenly, a golden scale flew out from the crevice.

There was no doubt it was a True Dragon Scale. Fang Lin had encountered True Dragon remains in his past life and even touched the Dragon Bones Bow of the Martial Lord Hou Yi. This was indeed a True Dragon Scale, with no room for doubt.

Just as Fang Lin reached out to grasp the True Dragon Scale, it unexpectedly flew into his chest and was devoured by the Kylin Demon Bone.

At this, Fang Lin was caught off guard.

He had intended to use the True Dragon Scale to temper his body, to take its strength to a higher level, yet the Kylin Demon Bone had beaten him to the punch.

Although the Kylin Demon Bone was part of Fang Lin's body, if the True Dragon Scale was refined by it, the significance would be completely different.

Suddenly, Fang Lin felt an intense heat emanating from his chest, as if flames were burning inside him.

This burning sensation was very clear and grew increasingly intense, causing Fang Lin to feel pain.

“No choice now, since it's like this, the Kylin Demon Bone must be enhanced first,” Fang Lin realized he couldn't extract the Dragon Scale anymore since it was devoured by the Kylin Demon Bone, so he had to let it refine and absorb the power of the Dragon Scale.

“Protect me,” Fang Lin said to Dugu Nian and then entered the cave.

Dugu Nian, though concerned, knew her place and did not follow him in. She sat cross-legged outside the cave, protecting Fang Lin.

Inside the cave, Fang Lin immersed himself in the Dragon Blood Pool, and the entire pool seemed to boil.

Visibly, the Dragon Qi within the Dragon Blood Pool was being absorbed by Fang Lin at an incredibly fast rate.

At Fang Lin's chest, the Kylin Demon Bone flickered with black light, intertwined with faint traces of golden light.

The black light was fierce, and the golden light was equally strong, yet the two remained unable to merge, repelling each other.

Fang Lin's task was to integrate the power of the Dragon Scale with that of the Demon Bone; to use the Dragon Scale to enhance the Demon Bone.

However, this process was anything but easy.

Although the power of the Kylin Demon Bone was dominant, the power of the Dragon Scale was not so easily refined.
