Chapter 9: The Dragon God Legacy

  "I can turn people into dragons, and I can also turn dragons into humans, changing their physical constitution and bloodline," the Dragon God threw out another heavy bombshell, stunning Gu Yun. As a medical practitioner, he naturally knew the importance of physical constitution and bloodline. A good physical constitution represents limitless potential. However, human physical constitution cannot be changed, at least not with his current knowledge. Otherwise, there would be no such thing as people with poor physical constitutions, and the world would be filled with powerful cultivators. Now, the Dragon God claimed that he could change both a person's physical constitution and bloodline into those of a dragon. Gu Yun had never heard of dragons before, but after Crazy's explanation, he knew that they were extremely terrifying and powerful beings, capable of moving mountains and seas with ease. In contrast, human physical constitutions ranked at the bottom in the world of cultivators. The Dragon God's claim to be able to reverse this was simply astonishing to Gu Yun.

  "Then, senior, does that mean if I accept your legacy, I'll be able to possess a physique as powerful as the dragon's?" Gu Yun asked excitedly.

  "It's not a physique as strong as a dragon, but you will become a divine dragon yourself, a divine dragon with the blood of my Chaos Dragon God. At that time, you can go to heaven and earth, turn over the rivers and seas, and roam freely at will. Of course, there will be more benefits," said the Dragon God.

  "Really? Then I'm willing to accept your legacy, but you said I'll become a dragon, can I still turn back into a human?" Gu Yun asked with some concern.

  "Of course, you were originally a human anyway. I just gave you the bloodline of the dragon god. You can transform into a dragon if you want to, or remain as a human if you prefer. However, it's not like you'll immediately turn into a dragon once you accept my legacy. You still need to cultivate the special technique I created, 'Dragon Transformation Technique', in order to change into a dragon." The Dragon God said with a smile on his face.

  "Alright then, let's start passing it down now. I'm so eager that I want to become a dragon right away." Gu Yun felt a bit impatient at this moment.

  "Heh heh, now you're getting anxious. Wanting to accept the inheritance isn't that easy, your body must be able to withstand the intense energy explosion and heart-wrenching pain during the inheritance process. So, you still need to cultivate your body first." Long Shen said with a smile.

  "My body is still quite robust, I think. As for the pain, my internal yin and yang energy erupts twice a day, but I'm already used to it. Besides, my 'Nine Turns Golden Body Technique' has reached the third turn, shouldn't it be time to pass it down?" Gu Yun patted his own chest, speaking to Long Shen.

  "Oh, I didn't expect you to have even cultivated the Nine Turns Golden Body Technique, and reached the third turn at that. Very good, very good indeed. So it seems I can also misjudge people after all. Little guy, who was your original master then? How did you manage to persist through the mutual collision of yin and yang energies all these years?"

  "I originally didn't have a master, I was always practicing alone." After that, Gu Yun told the Dragon God about his experiences over the years.

  "Not bad, not bad, not bad, at such a young age, you've managed to make it this far all by yourself in this environment. Alright, alright, I believe that after you inherit my legacy, the name of the Dragon God will surely resound throughout the world. It seems that choosing you as the inheritor was a decision that would have made him very happy." After hearing Gu Yun's experiences over the years, the Dragon God felt extremely pleased, and at the same time, he also felt like he had done something truly remarkable.

  "Come, little guy, give me your hand and let me take a look at that mysterious energy you were talking about inside of you." After his excitement subsided, he became interested in the Medical Deity True Energy within Gu Yun's body.

  The ancient cloud stretched out his hand, and the dragon god grabbed it. From the point where their hands met, a gentle energy flowed from the dragon god's body into Gu Yun's body. After circulating in Gu Yun's body for a while, it returned to the dragon god's body again. When they released their hands, the dragon god pondered, "Young man, your body has many strange things indeed. The ball of energy at your heart is not running through the meridians, but flowing through the blood vessels, full of life energy. No wonder you can cultivate the Nine Turns Golden Body Technique to the third turn so quickly. To persist in the mutual struggle between yin and yang energies and create this technique, the person must be a genius. Indeed, 'the rise and fall of Jiangshan is due to the emergence of talented people'." The dragon god also sighed with emotion after observing Gu Yun's body.

  "When I was young, they all said that I couldn't practice any martial arts. Later on, it was my father who found this 'Nine Turns Golden Body Technique' and this 'Medical Classic' for me. It's also because of the 'Nine Turns Golden Body Technique' and the 'Rejuvenating True Qi' in the 'Medical Classic' that I've been able to hold on until now."

  As soon as Long Sheng mentioned the "Rejuvenating True Qi" within his body, Gu Yun felt a deep sense of emotion. If he hadn't cultivated the "Rejuvenating True Qi", he really wondered if he would have been able to make it to this day.

  At that time, his physical condition would accelerate the explosion of yin and yang energy in his body once he started cultivating, and his meridians would also absorb spiritual energy from the outside world, turning it into an un drivable energy that accumulated in his meridians, slowly blocking them. In the end, it would even burst his meridians and body. However, the two cultivation methods given to him by his father seemed to be tailor-made for him. The "Nine Turns Golden Body Technique" mainly cultivated the body, absorbing spiritual energy to strengthen every strand of flesh and blood in the body, without needing to enter the meridians. The "Return Spring True Qi" was another unique method, as most cultivation techniques used the meridians as the main route for energy flow, ultimately returning to the dantian. In contrast, the "Return Spring True Qi" used blood vessels as its primary route, storing spiritual energy in the heart. This allowed their blood to contain a large amount of heavenly and earthly spiritual energy, which was why Gu Yun's body could quickly recover from injuries. Gu Yun also relied on this effect of the "Return Spring True Qi" to survive each explosion of yin and yang energy, successfully cultivating the "Nine Turns Golden Body Technique" to its third turn. If it were someone else, even if they could endure the pain of advancing in the "Nine Turns Golden Body Technique", their cultivation speed would not be as fast.

  The Dragon God said to Gu Yun after seeing the situation inside his body: "Now your body can indeed accept the inheritance, but the meridians in your body are still a problem. Your meridians have been basically blocked by the two energies of yin and yang. To accept the Dragon God's inheritance, your meridians must be unobstructed, otherwise it will be extremely dangerous."

  "Ah, what to do then?" Hearing Long Shen say that, Gu Yun also became tense. His biggest problem now was that he couldn't drive the two energies within his body, but these two energies were exactly what he needed to drive and merge together.

  The dragon god is also feeling a bit tricky now. The two types of kung fu that Gu Yun cultivated in the past did not pass through the meridians, and at that time, his meridian blockage was not a problem. However, to accept the inheritance now, he must cultivate the "Dragon Transformation Technique", which requires passing through the meridians. But Gu Yun's current meridians are far from meeting the requirements of cultivating the "Dragon Transformation Technique". The main problem now is to clear out the accumulated energy in his meridians. If it were the true body of the dragon god here, this would not be a problem at all, but now there is only a strand of Gu Yun's primordial spirit incarnation, and for the time being, there is no good solution.

  After thinking for a while, he finally came up with a solution and said to Gu Yun: "I now have a way to clear the two energies in your meridians, but you will look very strange."

  "How strange, how strange." Gu Yun said with some curiosity.

  "There is a mysterious sacred fruit here, after you eat it, it will absorb all the accumulated energy in your meridians and transform into two things on your body. It may be two hands, or two feet, or something else, depending on your luck." The dragon god said with a smile, probably thinking of growing something extra on Gu Yun's body.

  "Ah, is there such a fruit? I've never heard of it, not even in the medical classics." Long Shen's words shocked Gu Yun, who had never heard of such a miraculous fruit. To know that the medical classics recorded many kinds of spiritual fruits and medicines, including various immortal fruits. In recent years, he spent a lot of time every day studying the various strange flowers and fruits on it. Although he didn't understand other things, he was deeply knowledgeable about spiritual medicines. Now, suddenly hearing Long Shen say that there was such a miraculous spiritual fruit that he had never heard of, he would naturally be very surprised.

  "You haven't heard of many things, and even I don't dare to say that I know everything. The world is vast and full of wonders. You should go out more often in the future. This spirit fruit is extremely rare, and I've only obtained one so far." Gu Yun's words made Long Shen feel both annoyed and amused.

  "How can that thing that grew out be taken back?" Gu Yun asked with great concern, he could imagine how it would look like if he had two more legs.

  "In theory, it's possible to get it back, but as for how to do it, I'm not quite sure." Now, Longshen also felt a bit embarrassed.

  Hearing the dragon god's words, Gu Yun also hesitated. Before, he had always wanted to solve the problems within himself, but now that he finally had such an opportunity, he might become a monster, which made him somewhat difficult to choose.

  The dragon god just stood there watching him and didn't say anything. Some things still need to be figured out by oneself.
