While chatting along the way, the four of them walked for a full two hours without realizing it. Without the support of spirit power, walking for so long, the three girls were tired.
Seeing this, Shi Quan led the three girls to an open space and temporarily rested.
Fortunately, when they came, they had prepared a large amount of various delicacies.
As soon as they sat down, Shi Quan directly took out all kinds of delicious food from his hundred treasure pouch, and the three girls ate heartily. Anyone who didn't know would have thought they were having a picnic.
After eating their fill and resting briefly, the four of them continued on their journey.
After walking for about another hour, they finally arrived at a wide-open plain.
"What's that?!" After walking for a while longer, Shi Quan squinted his eyes, his gaze falling on a spot less than a hundred meters in the air.
At a distance of less than a hundred meters from the ground, clouds were drifting, one after another.
The most peculiar thing was the color of these clouds: red, orange, yellow, green, blue, purple—all were present. The color and shape of each cloud were different, and the mist was constantly deforming, vaguely resembling Dragons.
"Shi Quan, what are those clouds? There seems to be some special energy inside them. Should we be careful?" Ye Lingling was the first of the three girls to notice the anomaly in the sky. After she absorbed the Mind Condensing Wisdom Skull, her mental force and observation skills had greatly improved.
"No need to worry," Shi Quan said with a smile, leading the three girls towards the clouds. "These clouds are called Dragon Clouds. They are actually a manifestation of Dragon souls. Among all Dragon souls, these Dragon Clouds are the safest because they have no consciousness, only instinct."
"As long as your aura can resonate with these Dragon Clouds, they will descend on their own and merge into your bodies. When we get closer, you can try it out later."
"Really?" The three girls immediately became curious and walked towards the Dragon Clouds together.
However, after the three girls tried, only a white cloud suddenly fell from the sky and brushed past Ye Lingling, while Zhu Zhuqing and Dugu Yan did not manage to attract any Dragon Clouds in the sky.
"Lingling, how did you do that? What did it feel like?" Zhu Zhuqing and Dugu Yan both crowded around, curious.
Ye Lingling savored the feeling for a moment before saying, "I don't know either. I just felt a sense of closeness to that white cloud in the sky, and it came down on its own as soon as I got close to it."
"As for the feeling, that white cloud contained a very strong healing power, like some kind of elemental power so concentrated it had solidified."
Shi Quan nodded, stepped forward, and said, "Lingling is right. These Dragon Clouds are actually a collection of special Heaven and Earth elemental power infused with the Dragon Clan's Bloodline Power. Although these elemental powers won't fuse with the spirit power in your bodies, they are a great tonic for your bodies."
Dugu Yan stuck out her tongue and said, "These Dragon Clouds are too difficult! Not a single cloud has come down in ages."
"Difficult?" Shi Quan smiled slightly, raised his hand, and his aura spread out. The green, yellow, and silver Dragon Clouds in the sky all descended towards Shi Quan.
These Dragon Clouds were of Earth, Life, and mental force attributes, respectively. As soon as the three types of Dragon Clouds entered his body, Shi Quan immediately felt some subtle changes in his physical state.
"A Quan, this silver Dragon Cloud is also beneficial to me," Xiao Meng said excitedly, gently flapping her wings.
"Boss, me too," Shukaku also spoke up.
"Hmph!" Dugu Yan said poutily, "It's just a few Dragon Clouds! This Young Miss doesn't care!"
Zhu Zhuqing chuckled and patted Dugu Yan, saying, "Sister Yan, don't be angry. Don't worry, Shi Quan must have a way for us to absorb these Dragon Clouds if he says so."
Shi Quan smiled faintly, snapped his fingers, and said, "Zhuqing is right. If I say it's not difficult, then I naturally have a way."
He looked up at the dozen or so Dragon Clouds floating in the sky around him, and eight golden lights unfurled from Shi Quan's back.
Holy Dragon Eight Spears!
The Sacred Dragon is the head of all Dragons. Although there is a significant gap compared to the Golden Dragon King's Bloodline, which possesses a partial Bloodline of the Dragon God, below the Dragon God, the Sacred Dragon's title as the head of all Dragons is indeed well-deserved.
With the Bloodline of the Sacred Dragon, it was effortless for the Holy Dragon Eight Spears to attract some Dragon Clouds.
As the Holy Dragon Eight Spears extended, the Bloodline aura belonging to the Sacred Dragon surged forth, causing intense fluctuations.
In just an instant, the other colored Dragon Clouds in the sky, which had been motionless, suddenly seemed to find an outlet. The clouds surged violently, then swarmed towards Shi Quan.
The wildness and heat of the fire element.
The warmth and coldness of the water element.
The lightness and freedom of the wind element.
...
Various elements poured into Shi Quan's body, and Shi Quan's affinity for various elements surged dramatically. This feeling was like the affinity with all things in nature on the earth.
"Sit cross-legged and meditate."
Hearing Shi Quan's voice, the three girls immediately sat cross-legged and began to meditate.
Three of the spider spears directly pierced their skin. After a slight pain, the next second, they felt countless light points pouring into their bodies. The light points moved through their bodies, and these light points were of all colors. Various elemental powers moved through their bodies.
Throughout the entire process, they felt their bodies undergoing some strange changes, as if they were immersed in a pool of elemental water. Under the nourishment of various elements, it was certain that their physical condition was slowly improving.
Shi Quan attracted the Dragon Clouds by using the power of the Holy Dragon Eight Spears. The power of these Dragon Clouds also entered the Holy Dragon Eight Spears first, which made it convenient for Shi Quan.
The Dragon souls that entered the Holy Dragon Eight Spears were divided into four parts by Shi Quan using the Holy Dragon Eight Spears before they even entered his body: one part for himself, and the remaining three parts were equally divided among the three girls. The effect was as if they had attracted the Dragon souls themselves.
As for Xiao Meng and Shukaku, they were one with Shi Quan, so they could naturally absorb a portion of the energy Shi Quan absorbed.
Unknowingly, the three girls all entered a state of deep meditation.
On the other hand, Shi Quan only felt that these elemental energies were directly absorbed after entering his body, and there was no need to absorb them through meditation.
So he could only stay in place and wait for the three girls to wake up, and this wait lasted for a full two days.
After absorbing, Shi Quan didn't feel much change, but the three girls were different. They only felt an indescribable comfort throughout their bodies.
"So comfortable! I feel incredibly light all over," Zhu Zhuqing, who had just woken up, excitedly hugged one of Shi Quan's shoulders.
"Oh?" Shi Quan smirked, "How comfortable?"
Zhu Zhuqing's cheeks flushed slightly. She then released Shi Quan's arm and glared at him, saying, "You're annoying."
Shi Quan chuckled, noticing the two gazes beside him, and rubbed his nose. "I didn't say anything, I was just asking."
"Hmph." Dugu Yan pulled Zhu Zhuqing closer. "Shi Quan is really getting worse and worse."
"Cough, cough, cough..." Shi Quan coughed a few times, then pointed ahead, changing the subject. "These absorbed Dragon Clouds cannot be absorbed a second time. There are still many Dragon Clouds over there, let's continue."
The four continued forward. This time, Shi Quan directly stored the energy from the Dragon Clouds into the Holy Dragon Eight Spears temporarily, and only when the Holy Dragon Eight Spears were almost full did he distribute the energy to the three girls.
Soon, the three girls sat cross-legged again and entered meditation.
The three girls didn't know how beneficial the elemental immersion was, they only felt that after the elemental immersion, their perception and resistance to elements became stronger, their mental force became stronger, and their physical strength also improved. Besides spirit power, it seemed that all aspects had undergone a transformation.
The group continued forward, repeating this cycle. The three girls' meditation and absorption speed also became faster and faster, constantly shortening from the initial two days, until the twentieth time, the three girls finally felt that their bodies had reached a wonderful state.
The Dragon Cloud energy transmitted by Shi Quan, after entering their bodies, could be directly absorbed without needing to stay and meditate to absorb it anymore.
After absorbing a large amount of the Dragon soul power from the Dragon Clouds, the physical quality of the three girls all received a qualitative improvement. Their Meridians were now full of texture, like white jade, and even their bones felt heavier.
Their entire bodies were like undergoing a bone and marrow cleansing, with their essence becoming strong and solid. Every breath was more prolonged.
This improvement was no less than the improvement they had gained from consuming Immortal Herbs back then; it's just that one was more focused on spirit power, while the Dragon soul power in the Dragon Clouds was more about physical improvement.
The gains from the Dragon Clouds alone were enough to amaze the three girls. It was hard to imagine how much their improvement would be if they truly obtained a true dragon soul bone later.
"This Dragon Valley is indeed a Treasure Trove Secret Realm, and just some Dragon Clouds have given us such a great improvement, it's really amazing!" Dugu Yan excitedly waved her fists, her eyes full of joy and excitement.
Because the three girls could now directly absorb the Dragon soul power and elemental power from the Dragon Clouds, the group of four resumed their normal journey. Along the way, whenever they encountered Dragon Clouds, Shi Quan would directly distribute them to the three girls through the Holy Dragon Eight Spears.
Ye Lingling also smiled and said, "If it weren't for Shi Quan's Holy Dragon Eight Spears, under normal circumstances, ordinary people would simply be unable to absorb so much power from the Dragon Clouds. All of this is because of Shi Quan."
Shi Quan pulled Ye Lingling into his arms, kissed her on the lips, and said, "Isn't this what a husband should do for you?"
Absorbing Dragon Clouds along the way, they had unknowingly been in the Dragon Valley for at least over two months.
Ye Lingling's ears immediately turned red, and she nodded shyly. Just as everyone was walking deeper into the plain, a low thudding sound suddenly came from a dense forest on the plain not far to their right...
