452 Pearls Completed (2/2)

”I really think you should use the Myriad Energies Technique. I know you don't want to because you like to rely on your body's Meridians. Still, it would improve your control over your energies several times. It is perfectly fit for your Purple Flame Dragon Pearl.”

Krune had indeed offered the Myriad Energies Technique for Laex in the past. But because it would make his own meridians obsolete, Laex had refused. It was merely a Dragon's pride, simple as that. He didn't want to give up the meridians of his own body for the new ones.

However, this time Laex couldn't help but ponder about it. He is extremely happy with the results of the Purple Flame Dragon Pearl. Unfortunately, Krune was right. It was really difficult to control the energies in his body. His combat power would have been a lot higher if Laex could do it. He would probably have won against Laka just now too.

”Give me some time to think. I'll give you an answer after you finish forging Laka's Pearl.”

Krune nodded and didn't insist any further.

After they returned, Krune told Laka that they would start his in a week's time. He was still digesting the experience he got during the Purple Flame Dragon Pearl's creation. Although the next one would be the same, Krune thought that he could reduce the time and the blood necessary.

A week quickly went by, and Krune finally started Laka's Pearl. Just like Laex, Laka needed loads of Blood Recovery Pills. It was a good thing that Krune's proficiency in creating the Pearl increased after last time. That is because only 80% of Laka's blood is from the Dragon's side; the other 20% is part of the Phoenix Race, which wasn't useful during the process.

That being said, Laka would need to give a lot more blood to Krune if he wanted to complete his Purple Flame Dragon Pearl. Of course, that wasn't necessary anymore. Krune was able to finish Laka's Purple Flame Dragon Pearl almost at the same time as Laex's one.

Just like Laex, Krune refused to give the Pearl to Laka for testing. Although it seemed like it would be fine, Krune didn't want to take risks.

”Stingy!”

Ignoring him, Krune went back home. During the next week, Krune didn't cultivate or did anything else. He just relaxed with Feifei and Fie. Recently he had been busy with too many things, so he also needed some time to rest.

The others had also been doing their own things. With Liriu's Blood Sealed, Tiane and Ruik had gone somewhere else with him. Dilo and Xankruan were doing a few missions to gather some Spirit Stones. As for Cinty, she stayed in her house with Kiirion, those two seemed to be a lot closer recently.

Finally, another month went by, and Krune gave Laka's Purple Flame Dragon Pearl to him.

”Thank you, Ancestor!”

Krune's mouth couldn't help but twitch.

”Can you stop with this Ancestor thing? I don't remember to have such a shameless descendant. Besides, Wisps don't even look like Dragons to start with, let alone a mix of Dragon and Phoenix.”

Laka laughed out loud but didn't deny it.

”Anyway, there is still another 2 months before the Holy Land opens. When do you plan to move there?”

Krune pondered a bit.

”There are a few of us who aren't here at the moment, but they said they would be back soon. Once they are here, we can go together.”

Laka nodded and didn't say anything else. He had nowhere to go anyway, so he would just join Krune's troupe.
