Chapter 9: The Remedy – Dragon Origin Fruit
Just as Yu Tianlin was sitting cross-legged absorbing the Thunder Hell Prison Vine Spirit Ring, Yu Jian finally broke free from the Lightning Winged Dragon and headed toward the valley entrance.
"I wonder how Tianlin is doing now. He should be fine, since the outer area of Thunder Canyon is a one-way passage. We didn't see any spirit beasts on our way in. If he returns along the same route, he naturally won't encounter any spirit beasts."
Although that was what he said, Yu Jian still felt a sense of unease, as if he had overlooked something.
Driven by this feeling, Yu Jian subconsciously quickened his pace.
Because the passage was straight and the view was wide, he quickly spotted Yu Tianlin's figure.
But why was Yu Tianlin sitting cross-legged on the ground, surrounded by a white halo?
Yu Jian felt a wave of dizziness as a certain realization struck him.
Good heavens! Tianlin, how could you kill a spirit beast by yourself while I was gone, and even absorb its spirit ring?
And it is a white spirit ring at the tenth level.
This is terrible! I am in huge trouble. When I return, the Sect Master will skin me alive!
Yu Jian's expression changed several times. He felt dizzy, and his blood pressure seemed to shoot up.
In a few quick steps, he arrived at Yu Tianlin's side and began examining the surroundings.
This is the Thunder Hell Prison Vine.
But when he saw the Thunder Hell Prison Vine's body split in half, Yu Jian could not help showing a bitter smile.
Having seen the white spirit ring on Yu Tianlin from afar, he still held a sliver of hope. If Tianlin had absorbed the spirit ring of a dragon type spirit beast, even if the age was off, it would not be entirely unacceptable.
But this is neither a dragon descendant nor of proper age. It fails on both counts.
Watching Yu Tianlin absorb the spirit ring, Yu Jian thought helplessly, "That brat Tianlin, what a troublemaker! Did I not clearly tell him our goal was a four hundred year Swift Lightning Dragon? And yet, he sneaks off and kills this Thunder Hell Prison Vine, then even absorbs its spirit ring! How am I supposed to explain this to the Sect Master and Young Sect Master?"
If Yu Tianlin knew what Yu Jian was thinking, he would definitely complain.
Do you think I wanted this? If I did not absorb the spirit ring, my arm would explode! Losing an arm would be an even bigger problem. And you were not here when I needed you most. If you were, I would not have been forced to absorb this spirit ring.
It was fate. If this accident had not happened, Yu Tianlin would never have absorbed a spirit ring from a spirit beast like the Thunder Hell Prison Vine, which lacked dragon blood. And in that case, he would never have…
But now that the deed was done, Yu Jian could only protect him. Absorbing a spirit ring was irreversible. Once it began, it could not be stopped.
Since it had not reached the hundred year level, the Thunder Hell Prison Vine spirit ring energy was not large. Yu Tianlin finished converting the spirit power within an hour and successfully absorbed the ring.
When Yu Tianlin opened his eyes, he immediately saw Yu Jian standing before him.
Yu Jian rushed over, crouched slightly, held Tianlin's shoulders, and anxiously asked, "Tianlin, what exactly happened? Why did you absorb the spirit ring of the Thunder Hell Prison Vine?"
"Uncle Jian, you finally arrived." Yu Tianlin breathed a sigh of relief and explained, "I followed your instructions and ran toward the entrance, but I accidentally rushed into the Thunder Hell Prison Vine territory and it attacked me."
"I did not want to cause trouble and planned to leave, but it kept attacking. No matter where I ran, it would release lightning balls to block my path. With no choice left, I had to fight it."
Yu Jian pressed further, "Then why didn't you just kill it? Why absorb its spirit ring?"
Yu Tianlin gave a bitter smile. "I didn't want to either, but its lightning invaded my left arm during the fight. Even after killing it, the lightning clung to my bone and I could not dispel it."
"If I did not absorb its spirit ring and use the energy to clear the lightning, my left arm would be ruined."
Hearing this, Yu Jian instantly deflated like a punctured balloon and said softly, "So that is how it was. You had no choice in a life and death situation."
After answering his question, Yu Tianlin urgently asked, "Uncle Jian, I absorbed a spirit ring without dragon blood. Is there any way to fix this?"
"This…" Yu Jian paused, recomposed himself, then said, "There are ways to remedy it."
"The reason Spirit Masters with the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Martial Spirit must attach dragon type spirit rings is because we need the dragon power within them to transform at level thirty."
"In other words, even if you absorbed the wrong spirit ring, you can still regain that missing dragon power as long as you find a way."
Upon hearing this, Yu Tianlin brightened. "Then how do we replenish dragon power?"
Yu Jian gave him a complicated look. "Naturally, with rare medicinal herbs containing dragon power. In our sect, there is one such herb called the Dragon Origin Fruit."
Dragon Origin Fruit.
Yu Tianlin repeated the name and his eyes lit up.
A path appears just when all hope seems blocked.
But Yu Jian shook his head inwardly. He had not told Yu Tianlin that the Dragon Origin Fruit was a treasure so rare that only the Sect Master and a few elders had ever used it. Even he had only heard about it from his father and had never seen one.
Still, considering Yu Tianlin was the Sect Master's grandson and the only innate full spirit power genius in a century, he would likely obtain it.
As for the first spirit ring being too young, that issue was minor. It only caused some disadvantage at low levels. Once stronger, the first spirit ability naturally became less important.
Thinking this through, Yu Jian finally relaxed and said, "Alright, Tianlin, now that you have absorbed your first spirit ring, we can return to the sect."
With that, Yu Jian strode out of Thunder Canyon.
Yu Tianlin quickly followed, the nearly ten centimeter long blue purple ahoge on his head swaying in the wind. Neither of them noticed it.
