CHAPTER 152 CULTIVATION

Afterwards, Rocky put half of a droplet of the magical saliva into a bowl of hot water. The shining

droplet was dissolved into the hot water causing the steaming hot water to shine as if there were

countless pearls within it. Both Jackson and Sue were mesmerized by this scene as they had never

seen anything like it.

"Sue, do you have a handkerchief with you?" Rocky turned to Sue and asked.

Sue nodded and took out a clean handkerchief and passed it to Rocky.

Rocky took Sue's handkerchief and dipped it in the hot water for a second. He then began to wipe

Jackson's bruises with it. After rubbing it for a couple of times, the bruises gradually disappeared until

they were fully healed. Even his wounds were gone.

"Rocky, that is amazing. What kind of elixir did you use?" Both Jackson and Sue were stunned by its

miracle-like healing power.

"Sue, please find me a clean bottle so I could store this diluted magical saliva and seal it carefully. I

believe that it could still be useful when it comes to some minor diseases or injuries." Rocky handed Contentt bel0ngs to N0ve/lDrâ/ma.O(r)g!

the bowl of hot water to Sue and gave instruction to store it carefully.

Moments later, Sue took the bottle of diluted magical saliva and walked into her room as she held it in

her hands carefully like a treasure.

"Jackson, your flesh wounds are healed. However, it would still take some time for your bones to

recover. Old saying has it that it takes at least a hundred days for wounds on the bones and tendons to

fully heal. Despite its amazing healing power, please take enough rest and refrain yourself from moving

too much." Rocky reminded Jackson. Magical as this saliva was, it was nothing compared to those

from a dragon and it was diluted with hot water which made it less potent.

"I completely understand. Thank you so much, Rocky! You are a good man." Jackson thanked him with

genuine gratitude as he saw him constantly reminding him to be conscious of his actions. He was

deeply touched by Rocky's concern.

Rocky nodded coldly as an acknowledgement of his gratitude. Seeing that Jackson was on his way to

getting better, Rocky bade farewell before departing with Rubygon and Uriah.

In a desolated and well-concealed valley not far away from the east of the village, there was a loud

explosion.

Boom!

There were a couple of big chunks of rocks laid in a circle and one of them was crushed into pieces in

an instant by an incoming fireball causing debris to spread all over the place. The remains of the stone

turned all smoky while the debris left by it was still hot.

"Uriah, let's do it again," said Rocky who was hunkering down on a rock with Rubygon in his hands. He

checked his surroundings carefully before urging Uriah to launch another fireball attack.

Boom! Boom! Boom! Explosions took place one after the other, the sound of which continued to

reverberate in the valley for a long time.

It did not take long before Uriah blasted all the rocks lying around into bits and pieces. All that was left

was burning debris.

Uriah was lying on its belly, exhausted and desperately catching its breath as if all of its energy was

depleted from the continuous discharging of fireballs.

"Six? Is that really the best you can do?" Rocky murmured to himself as he grew solemn watching what

was happening in front of him.

The fireball skill applied by Uriah demonstrated its strong affinity with fire. It was almost as powerful as

the move from the spiritual martial arts unleashed by the royal spirit manipulators of the Earthly Stage

with their dragon spiritual power. However, the dragon spiritual power was limited by the strength of

one's spiritual power. The reason for Rocky to push Uriah's limits was to test how many times it could

perform its fireball skill. Furthermore, he would also like to test the power and accuracy of the fireball so

that he could have a clearer picture of what it could do during combat.

"Judging from Uriah's performance, it reached its limit after using its fireball skill six times. To add to

that, its physical strength also drains with its usage. In any heated combat, it could probably not use it

more than three times, otherwise it would cause too much fatigue on its body. Despite its energy

consumption, its power and precision was comparable to a guided missile which was quite

mesmerizing. Uriah exceled at close ranged combat. Now, this skill also gives it an edge in long range

situations, its general ability is now well balanced and superior to most opponents regardless of their

distance. Even when the enemy is trying to escape, it will still be able to..." Rocky could barely contain

his excitement. He was very happy to see Uriah's newly acquired ability and he couldn't wait to see it

applied in real combat.

After assessing Uriah's new ability, Rocky fetched the two middle grade Dark Heaven Eggs which were

of great value for his cultivation now. The middle grade Dark Heaven Egg was only meant to be used

by spirit manipulators that were above the Earthly Stage for cultivation. Especially for the spirit

manipulators who were at the first grade of the Earthly Stage, an elementary grade Dark Heaven Egg

was more than enough to speed up one's advancement. And the ones that he had with him were

middle grade Dark Heaven Eggs, which were many times more potent than those at the elementary

grade. Without a doubt, these should be able to improve his power exponentially.

Any ordinary spirit manipulators might hesitate in using the Dark Heaven Eggs for their cultivation. After

all, it couldn't be easily measured by money. It was a priceless treasure. There were other treasures of

more value than the Dark Heaven Egg at the Wild Spirit Land. However, they were simply so rare that

most of them were too unreachable for many spirit manipulators. It was as if they could only exist in

their dreams. In comparison, as rare as the Dark Heaven Eggs were, there were still ways to obtain

them. However, this was only the case for royal spirit manipulators who were at a high place. For any

other ordinary spirit manipulators, it was still nearly impossible to obtain one of these for themselves.

Even when Rocky had done such an extraordinary job at the Dragon Birth Festival, the Emperor had

never thought of giving him Dark Heaven Eggs as a reward. He merely granted him two rare yellow

spiritual crystals instead for his contributions. This was because there were so many other royal spirit

manipulators in the Palace City and the Dark Heaven Insects that were being raised in the Palace City

would not be able to supply enough Dark Heaven Eggs for all of them. Dark Heaven Eggs were more

valuable than spiritual crystals to some degree because without a powerful spirit manipulator, even a

tier-one spirit-manipulated beast wouldn't be able to live up to its full potential. Therefore, a Dark

Heaven Egg that could improve a spirit manipulator's strength proved to be much more valuable as

spirit manipulators were the most important beings on the Wild Spirit Continent.

However, Rocky was not someone that knew the merits of cherishing. He put away one of the Dark

Heaven Eggs as he held one of them in his palm. Though he had never used such rare treasure for

cultivation, considering his experience to use the spiritual power meant for spirit-manipulated beast

from the spiritual crystals to cultivate his power, there should be no problem for him with the Dark

Heaven Egg that was actually meant for spirit manipulators.

He then applied the Vast Nebula Skill. His body instantly began to shine under the works of his spiritual

power as a haze and a nebula-like light covered the vicinity of his body as if the universe had its stars

shining right then and there. At that moment, the Dark Heaven Egg that used to be hard suddenly

started to melt in his palm like it was being grilled by fire. It turned into drops of Dark Heaven Liquid that

seeped into Rocky's body through his palm.

Every time a drop of it seeped into his palm, Rocky felt a strand of strong spiritual power entering his

body as if they were swimming in his major arteries like tadpoles before they gradually fused with his

own spiritual power.

With the merging of the spiritual power from the Dark Heaven Egg and his own, the spiritual flame

inside Rocky's body began to transform. The strands of red in his spiritual flame that was once

unnoticeable shone a lot brighter than it ever did.

'That is strange. Where did this light of fire in my spiritual flame come from?' Rocky noticed the change

in his spiritual flame while absorbing the Dark Heaven Egg. He was a bit confused about it.

It turned out that when Marcia sealed off Rocky's power from the Holy Dragon Bead, because she still

needed to leave Rocky with some power, she chose to leave his original spiritual flame that produced

spiritual power for him. Even before the sealing of his power, there had been some changes gradually

taking place in his spiritual flame. This meant that the strands of red light were preserved along with the

spiritual flame. It had always been weak so it had remained unnoticed until now.

Now that Rocky just received the spiritual power from the middle grade Dark Heaven Egg, the red

flame along with the rest of his spiritual flame was significantly strengthened making them shine

brighter than ever before. It was just a matter of time before it was discovered by him.

However, the red flame normally represented the dragon spiritual power of fire, which was a power

possessed only by royal spirit manipulators. So in the end, it was still a bit strange for him.
