Yang Kai didnt expect such a thing to happen at all. If he were outside, this little snake might have actually escaped.

But this was the Small Sealed World of the Sealed World Bead after all.

So, Yang Kai just froze for a moment before stretching out his hand and grabbing towards it.

The World Energy in the Small Sealed World moved according to his will and the tiny figure, now about ten metres away, was instantly held in place by an invisible power. Even so, this little snake was still struggling restlessly and soon released a loud roar.

Only now was Yang Kai able to see clearly what it was.

It was like a Dragon that had been shrunk down countless times, a red Fire Dragon covered in flames!

Yang Kai was taken aback and muttered in amazement, A baby dragon?

But soon, he discovered that this was not the case as the baby dragon transformed into a single red drop about the size of a fingernail. However, this small drop was like boiling magma, giving off a scorching heat Yang Kai could clearly feel even from ten metres away.

Yang Kais complexion changed as he quickly seemed to think of something, calling out in alarm, Dragon blood! A drop of true Dragon blood!

What was inside the jade bottle was not a baby dragon, but a drop of true Dragon blood.

Judging from the previous scene, this was a drop of Fire Dragon blood! If a cultivator who cultivated a Fire Attribute Secret Art could obtain this drop, they would definitely receive enormous benefits.

However, that did not mean it didnt have significant value to Yang Kai.

Although Yang Kai did not primarily cultivate the Fire Attribute, he could still use his Monster Transformation Secret Art to fuse other Dragon artifacts into his body, like the Dragon Scale he had integrated into his physique that was now covering his heart.

Yang Kai had been planning to integrate his Dragon Bone Sword into his body for some time now as well.

His Dragon Bone Sword was refined from an authentic Dragons bone and bead. Previously, he had only roughly refined it into an artifact but not fundamentally damaged or transformed it, so there would be no problem fusing with it.

Fusing with the Dragon Scale had given Yang Kai huge benefits, and he had never once forgotten about doing the same with his Dragon Bone Sword, but suffering from insufficient strength, he had been unable to carry out his plans. Later, his strength had improved dramatically but he had not had enough time to carry out this plan.

At this moment though, he obtained a drop of true Dragon blood.

If he could integrate it properly, he might be able to exert a portion of a Dragons power! After all, he had a Golden Divine Dragon Source in his body already.

Yang Kais expression beamed as he felt a great sensation of surprise and happiness.

He had not realized until this moment that the plain-looking jade bottle that had held this drop of Dragon blood was actually covered in dense seals and Spirit Arrays and contained an extremely cold aura. This kind of cold was extremely peculiar, as Yang Kai could not feel it on his hand, but when he tried to probe it with his Divine Sense, his Spiritual Energy quickly froze.

Only this kind of unique storage container could hold a drop of dragon blood.

Wearing a solemn expression on his face, Yang Kai did not immediately try to fuse with this drop of blood.

In the past, using his Monster Transformation Secret Art to fuse with the Dragon Scales had caused him to suffer greatly, so Yang Kai planned to make appropriate preparations first before proceeding. After making up his mind, he carefully put away the drop of dragon blood before his figure flickered and he left the Sealed World Bead.

Over the next few days, Yang Kai wandered around all the major shops in Maplewood City, and even went to the black market a few times.

The Monster Beast parts he obtained from the Five Coloured Treasure Pagoda were sold out for Source Crystals, and after spending many of those Source Crystals on a variety of ancient books, Yang Kai returned to his secluded home to do some reading.

His experiences since entering the Star Boundary made him realize how limited his knowledge was, so although these books were somewhat haphazardly collected, they were precisely what he needed right now.

Among these books were introductions to the Star Boundarys major Sects, forces, geography, famous landforms, and alchemy.

Such widely-known information was not difficult to find or complicated to comprehend, so after Yang Kai spent a few days reading them, he finally gained a basic understanding of the Star Boundary.

Yang Kai also obtained some ancient books that recorded a variety of secret information, but whether the contents of these books were true or not, Yang Kai had no way of knowing. Unfortunately, he did not find many records about the Dragon Clan, only that the Star Boundary had a place called Dragon Island, on which many authentic Dragons seemed to live.

He did find some information about fusing Dragon artifacts into his body, though.

Most of these records said that a certain special Secret Art was required to begin the process, and that the fusion process was different from person to person. There were even some accounts of people succeeding in the initial fusion, but because their physique was not powerful enough, they were ultimately killed by backlash afterwards.

Nonetheless, Yang Kai felt that he should be fine.

Regarding special Secret Arts, he had his Monster Transformation. In terms of physique, he felt his was more than strong enough. His biggest advantage though, was his Golden Divine Dragon Source, giving him a unique edge when it came to fusing with these Dragon artifacts.

Ultimately, this was not a matter to be rushed. His top priority at the moment was to break through to the Dao Source Realm!

The advancement to a new Great Realm would bring about a dramatic increase in his strength.

Time flew by, and soon, half a month had passed.

Yang Kai walked out of his secluded home and came to Spirit Pill Plaza to fulfil his previous agreement with Kang Si Ran.

Ten days later, when Yang Kai had refined enough Spirit Pills and exited his Alchemy retreat. Kang Si Ran was already standing outside the Pill Room waiting with a smile on his face.

Shopkeeper Kang, Yang Kai greeted and cupped his fists slightly.

Alchemist Yang, many thanks for your efforts this time, Kang Si Ran seemed to be in a good mood and smiled through his wrinkled old face.

I simply fulfilled my obligations, Shopkeeper Kang doesnt need to be so polite, Yang Kai smiled and said. Judging from Shopkeeper Kangs look, could there perhaps be some kind of happy event happening?

Not at all, however the two Alchemists sent from the headquarters arrived five days ago.

So, thats how it is, Yang Kai knew that Kang Si Ran had been worrying about the pill supply problem of Spirit Pill Plaza for some time now. Previously, all the Alchemists of Spirit Pill Plaza had been poached by his nemesis, and if not for Yang Kai suddenly appearing, Spirit Pill Plaza would have been forced to close down long ago. Now that the Alchemists dispatched from Violet Source Chamber of Commerces headquarters had finally arrived, Kang Si Ran could put down his labour shortage worries.

Congratulations to Shopkeeper Kang, then, Yang Kai smiled.

Kang Si Ran chuckled, If Alchemist Yang would be willing to remain in the employ of Spirit Pill Plaza, this old master

Yang Kai waved his hand and said, Shopkeeper Kang, Im afraid this will not work. I told you before that I do not pursue Alchemy as my primary profession. The reason I agreed to assist you last time was because I needed pill recipes. Now, since your chamber of commerce has sent two Alchemists to alleviate your situation, I will not be offering my Alchemy services again in the future.

Kang Si Ran heard this and sighed, Its a pity. In fact, with Alchemist Yangs ability, if you were to focus on Alchemy, your future achievements will probably be no worse than Grandmaster Huang Fu at the headquarters.

Yang Kai smiled lightly.

Since Alchemist Yang has no intention of pursuing the Alchemic Dao though, this old master will not
