Rise of the White Dragon

"Luan, did you make it to the Third Order?" Ingrid asked eagerly.

Luan smiled and said, "Yeah, I got it."

"I'm so happy for you!" Ingrid hugged him.

Luan said seriously, "But now it's going to be a little more complicated."

Luan starts walking towards the house and Ingrid followed him.

"Why?" Ingrid looked up and asked.

"I need to focus on increasing my body's power. The final stages of the body and Qi are intertwined, and if I want the two to be in harmony, I need to do it almost at the same time. After all, now with Qi I am at the stage: Clearing the Middle Veins. And the end of the Body is: Connecting the Middle Veins. I need to clean the veins and turn them on at the same time, because if I clean and not turn them on, the veins will get dirty with impurities again. Understand?"

"Yeah." Ingrid nodded, getting up and making tea. Then she sat down across from Luan.

"That means, for the next few days, I'm just going to cultivate the body, trying to reach the same level of Qi. Of course, I don't necessarily need to do this, but if I want to do something perfect, something stronger than usual, I need to do this," Luan explained.

"By the way, in my current state, just so you understand, I feel like I've been reborn. The cells in my body can breathe freely on their own. I no longer need to be afraid of running out of oxygen in deep water." Luan gave a brief explanation. This also suggested that he could hunt for more treasure in the ocean's depths.

"Now I have the confidence to defeat all those who are in the Third Order," Luan said confidently. As he explained, Luan stopped the conversation and smiled at Ingrid.

Ingrid smiled and elegantly sipped her tea. "You look handsome when you're confident."

"I do?" Luan took a second to process this information and immediately touched his face. "I thought I was always beautiful."

*Cough, cough...*

Her shoulders were shaking and Ingrid covered her mouth as she coughed. The other hand landed on the cup of tea she was holding. She was amused by Luan's comment and couldn't contain herself. She had laughed with tea in her mouth and almost choked.

Luan hadn't expected her to enjoy herself so easily. He quickly reached out and patted her back. After the coughing subsided, he asked with concern, "Do you feel better?"

Ingrid rolled her eyes at Luan and used a handkerchief to wipe tea from the corners of her mouth to restore her dignified appearance.

"Eat some of the bread with ham and cheese. It's delicious," Luan said as he ate.

"I'll accept." She directly bit into Luan's ham and cheese sandwich and smiled triumphantly.

"Want more? I'll make it for you." Luan was very kind.

"..."

Even embarrassed, she says, "Yes, thank you."

Luan smiled and looked at her.

"Finished?" Luan asked.

"Yeah." Ingrid wiped her mouth and nodded.

"Okay, so I'll teach you how to train. Let's go outside," Luan said.

"Mm." Ingrid nodded.

The pentagram drawn by Luan was still there. The Monster Cores were already destroyed. They would have to replace them with new ones if Ingrid was going to use them. Placing 5 of the Second Order, Ingrid sat in the center of the pentagram.

"In the beginning I will help you, but you need to concentrate to be able to do this on your own later, okay?" Luan said seriously.

"Okay." Ingrid didn't dare relax.

"Wait, with you I'll do it a little different." Luan had an idea, and so Ingrid patiently waited.

Luan took out all the blood from the monsters and refilled the pool. After that he refined the blood even further and continued to do so for almost two hours.

Then with Qi he drew a pentagram in the center of the pool and placed 5 Second Order Monster Cores at each end.

"Now sit there." Luan pointed to the middle of the star.

"Okay." Ingrid did as she was told.

Amidst the pool of blood, with Luan placing both hands on her back, Ingrid started using: Blood as Life; Blood as Whole.

The blood bubbled as if it were being boiled, but it wasn't hot. Monster Core Qi mixed with blood, and the blood became more powerful. Ingrid entered a state of enlightenment; all her concentration was on the cultivation. She was the blood and the blood was she.

The blood in the pool was already part of her control; she could mold it at will. Once it had reached that point, Luan smiled and walked away. She no longer needed his help.

Unlike normal cultivators, after the blood was completely pure and mixed with the Qi, Ingrid arched her head up and the blood began to enter her mouth. Little by little her power started to grow.

'She has entered the Intermediate Bone Refining stage.' Luan smiled.

And it still wasn't going to stop. She was able to reach the Final Stage of Bone Refining.

'This is also helping her body. As expected, her bloodline is linked to the body too.'

Unlike the Dragon Core formation, the Dantian formation was several times easier. What was happening was that Ingrid was in the final stage of Dantian's training. Luan didn't know if she was doing it on purpose or unconsciously, but if she continued like this, she would successfully form a Dantian.

'As expected, she's a genius.' Luan's eyes sparkled. Granted, the materials were very good, but if Ingrid wasn't a genius, it was impossible to do what she was doing.

Noticing cracks in the Monster Cores, Luan switched them out.

'She found a blockage with her Qi.' But it was expected. Ingrid had reached the limit of Bone Refining; the next stage was: Connecting the Middle Veins.

Noticing this, Ingrid stopped trying to move the Qi forward, and concentrated on her body. Minute passed after minute. Eventually she screamed. That's when she successfully created her Dantian.

Ingrid went to Luan and tears of happiness flowed. "I made it Luan, I managed to create my Dantian! And, I managed to reach the limit of the Bone Refining Stage."

"Congratulations, you were great, no you were more than great, you were exceptional!" Luan wiped her tears and smiled.

There was a difference in technique: Queen Snake Body and Divine Spiritual Body. Initially they were not much, but as they evolved the differences would begin to show. In the final stage, the Divine Spirit body would have the strength of 1 dragon, that is, 500 times stronger. The Queen Cobra's Body was at most 450 times stronger.

Of course, that didn't mean the Cobra Queen's Body was bad. The flexibility gave her something the Divine Spiritual Body didn't have, and the practicality of twisting and dodging, among other things. But after completing this technique, it didn't mean she was finished, but yes, she can cultivate a new body technique.

To explain it in an easy way: Once a technique is fully trained, it becomes part of the cultivator's ultimate power. That is, it becomes part of them. Then the user can go and train a new body technique.

But to be able to do this alone was difficult, but if one could...
