Chapter 1266: Grandfather's Overflowing Love

"A deadly poison that can threaten even Dukes?"

Li Jingzhe was a little surprised by Li Luo's question. He took a look at the poison condensed in the middle of Li Luo's palm and pondered for a moment. "This poison has fused with your blood essence to form a special type of blood poison. It seems you're really making full use of your bloodline here."

At Li Jingzhe's level, he could tell with a single glance that the poison had traces of Li Luo's blood essence. He immediately connected it to the Great Sanguine Poison Art.

Li Luo explained to him frankly, "Back in the Xia Kingdom, Jiang Qing'e and I had to protect House Luolan when Father and Mother weren't around. We did everything it took to become stronger."

Li Jingzhe fell silent momentarily before he answered with a hint of frustration, "Those two are so unreliable when push comes to shove."

The Xia Kingdom was nothing in the eyes of someone like Li Jingzhe. However, it was a place full of danger for the young Li Luo and Jiang Qing'e. It was honestly reckless behavior for Li Taixuan and Tan Tailan to leave the two kids behind without anyone to protect them. However, he did not really blame the two of them.

After thinking for a bit longer, he answered, "If it's a poison that can threaten Dukes, it'll be a dangerous one for you as well. I am afraid you may not be able to handle it if you wish to hide the poison inside your body. As such, we need to store it another way."

Li Luo was a little puzzled. "Where else can I keep it?"

Li Jingzhe's gaze suddenly s.h.i.+fted to the crimson bracelet on Li Luo's wrist.

"The Five-tailed Heavenly Wolf?!" Li Luo exclaimed in surprise.

Li Jingzhe raised his finger slightly, and the bracelet floated up into the air. Complex and bright runes appeared around the bracelet. He flicked his finger, and some of the runes slowly faded away.

In the next instant, blood-colored smoke rose up from the bracelet. A thick and ferocious aura filled the air, followed by a vicious wolf howl.

Li Luo was shocked. Was the Respected Elder going to release the Five-tailed Heavenly Wolf?

An enormous shadow appeared behind the thick smoke. On its back, five of its tails swung from side to side like giant pythons. A sharp shriek resounded in the air, followed by ripples continuously expanding on the surface of the lake.

This was the true form of the Five-tailed Heavenly Wolf!

Clearly, Li Jingzhe had changed some of the seals on the bracelet. This had allowed the Five-tailed Heavenly Wolf to appear in its true form.

It was the first time the Five-tailed Heavenly Wolf had come out ever since it was sealed in the bracelet by Pang Qianyuan. Its excitement was palpable as it managed to witness daylight once again. Its five tails moved from side to side, causing gusts of wind to sweep across their surroundings.

“Roar!”

It looked at Li Luo with its ferocious eyes. This brat had been squeezing power out of it for years at this point. It had been slaving away arduously, but it dared not say anything before. Finally, it had an opportunity to escape. It was time to collect all of the interest accrued for its hard work! freewebnoveℓ.com

However, Li Luo's face remained unfazed despite the vicious gaze coming from the Five-tailed Heavenly Wolf. He revealed a warm smile to it and pointed over to his side, where an elderly man sat with his fis.h.i.+ng rod.

That was then when the Five-tailed Heavenly Wolf finally noticed Li Jingzhe. Its vicious aura instantly froze and dissipated, then its five giant tails gradually lowered.

It was a little embarra.s.sing and a little frightening. With its primal instincts, it could tell that Li Jingzhe was much stronger now compared to the last time they had met. In fact, he was leagues above Pang Qianyuan, his initial sealer.

Li Jingzhe raised his head and looked at the wolf with a frown. "Why're you making such a ruckus? All the fishes have been scared off."

The Five-tailed Heavenly Wolf shuddered and its huge body quickly shrank. It turned into a little, red puppy. Like a well-behaved pet, it tucked its five tails between its legs.

Li Luo couldn't help but laugh when he saw how obedient the Five-tailed Heavenly Wolf had become. "Haha, Brother Wolf. How's the outside air taste?"

The Five-tailed Heavenly Wolf looked at Li Jingzhe warily. It heard Li Luo's taunting words but it didn't respond.

Li Jingzhe was much more terrifying than the last time they had met. If he wanted to kill it, he simply needed to lift a pinky.

Li Jingzhe looked at the Five-tailed Heavenly Wolf with cold eyes. "Don't worry. You've followed my grandson for some time and you've helped him tide over a few crises. You've done well."

The Five-tailed Heavenly Wolf finally stopped trembling at this point and let out a flattering howl.

"You've also benefited quite a bit from following Li Luo all these years. Li Luo possesses incomparably pure Heavenly Dragon blood, and being by his side is the perfect cultivation environment for you. How else could you have become an upper second-grade Duke in just a few years?" Li Jingzhe said.

Li Luo was a little surprised. The Heavenly Wolf wasn't even a Duke when it was sealed into the bracelet by Princ.i.p.al Pang Qianyuan. After which, it had spent quite a number of years in the bracelet and yet its cultivation had not slowed and it was progressing even faster? In fact, part of this was because of him?

The Five-tailed Heavenly Wolf lowered its head. It did not dare to refute the words that were directed at it.

Li Jingzhe continued, "Li Luo is trying to refine a deadly poison that can threaten even Dukes. However, his body is physically incapable of containing such a deadly poison. Additionally... What could be a better tool than the Heavenly Wolf's Bloodfiend Venom?"

"Heavenly Wolf's Bloodfiend Venom?" Li Luo was a little surprised to hear about this.

"The fiendish aura emanating from the Heavenly Wolf is one of the most baleful auras amongst all spirit beasts. They can naturally infuse their fiendish aura into their own blood, forming the formidable Heavenly Wolf's Bloodfiend Venom. Once one is infected with this poison, any foe at the same cultivation level will only be able to neutralize it if they have a special method. Otherwise, they will need the help of someone at a higher cultivation level. If they don’t receive help, it'll more or less spell certain death. In fact, even opponents at a higher cultivation level would have to pay a significant price to purge it if they're infected. If you want a deadly poison that can threaten a Duke, the Heavenly Wolf's Bloodfiend Venom is the best choice. Moreover, we would not have to store the poison inside your body. Whenever you need it, you can just ask the wolf to give it to you. This would also keep you safe."

Li Luo's eyes lit up. It came without saying that he didn't really want to keep poison inside his own body either. After all, it was a ticking time bomb. If anything went wrong, he would suffer the consequences.

The dual poison which afflicted him had always been an unintentional and unwilling situation. Otherwise, he would definitely have neutralized the poison if he was able to.

With all that in mind, it would be much safer if the poison was stored with the Five-tailed Heavenly Wolf. Whenever he needed it, he could just get it.

"Wow! Brother Wolf, I didn't know you possessed such mighty means."

Li Luo reached out to pat the Five-tailed Heavenly Wolf, who was around the size of a small puppy right now, and laughed. "Why didn't you tell me about it earlier? What sort of friend are you?"

The Five-tailed Heavenly Wolf momentarily glanced at him from the corner of its eye. If his grandfather wasn't around, it would have given him a good taste of its fangs. It would then see how many holes would be left behind on his body afterwards...

Then it turned over to Li Jingzhe and explained pitifully, "Great Sir, although the Heavenly Wolf Race can definitely cultivate the Heavenly Wolf's Bloodfiend Venom... I've yet to form the most critical part..."

"Are you referring to the Bloodfiend Core?" Li Jingzhe asked.

Clearly, he was very familiar with the cultivation path of the Heavenly Wolf Race. The Five-tailed Heavenly Wolf nodded repeatedly.

"That won't be a problem. You can stay with me for the time being, I'll help you form your Bloodfiend Core," Li Jingzhe replied casually.

The Five-tailed Heavenly Wolf was both surprised and glad. It seemed a wonderful opportunity had fallen upon it. After all, Li Jingzhe was a Quasi-Triple Crown King, which was considered one of the strongest existences even to the Heavenly Wolf Race. In fact, it would have normally been impossible for a beast like it to gain such a.s.sistance. "Considering you possess the Heavenly Wolf bloodline, your intelligence must be extraordinary. You should clearly understand why I'm willing to help you."

The Five-tailed Heavenly Wolf nodded again. It knew that Li Luo was the reason for all of the benefits lavished upon it. Otherwise, Li Jingzhe wouldn't even cast a glance at it.

"Don't worry, Great Sir. This little wolf here will definitely help the Young Master to the best of its abilities." The Five-tailed Heavenly Wolf was very flexible... not to mention willing to accept all opportunities that came knocking. Despite suppressing the urge to bite Li Luo just a minute ago, it was now addressing him as ‘Young Master.’ Li Luo was secretly pleased as he listened in on their conversation. The vicious wolf was incredibly difficult to tame in the past. In fact, it had even thought of consuming him. Who would have expected it to act so obediently right now?

Li Jingzhe nodded a little. "You're from the Heavenly Wolf Race and Li Luo possesses Heavenly Dragon blood. It'll only be to your advantage if you stay close to him. In the future, you may need his help to reach the Nine-tailed Stage."

Although the Heavenly Wolf Race was not as respectable as the Dragon Race in the world of spirit beasts, it was still a peak existence. Li Jingzhe could tell that the Five-tailed Heavenly Wolf did not possess particularly pure blood. When placed amongst the members of its race, it would only be considered ordinary. If it wanted to reach the Nine-tailed Stage, it would be close to impossible with its strength alone. The Five-tailed Heavenly Wolf's eyes lit up when it heard those words. It understood what Li Jingzhe was implying. After some hesitation, it lowered its head to the ground.

"I will keep your advice in mind, Great Sir."

Li Jingzhe nodded in approval. Although he knew about the Five-tailed Heavenly Wolf in the bracelet, he had always treated it as one of Li Luo’s tools, not paying much attention to it. However, he had seen how the Five-tailed Heavenly Wolf helped Li Luo tide through difficulties time and again over the past few months. Whether it was truly willing or not, it was undeniable that it would be a strong boon to Li Luo if it stayed by his side. As such, Li Jingzhe didn't mind helping it out to aid Li Luo.

"The Five-tailed Heavenly Wolf will stay with me for the time being. Meanwhile, you can search for the Golden Stone Spirit Clam Pearl. We'll attempt the Crimson Pill Blood Refinement Resonance Art afterwards and see if the Heavenly Dragon resonance is within reach."

Li Luo nodded happily.

It seemed that this visit had reaped an exceptional amount of benefits today.

At the same time, he couldn't help but sigh a little.

Seeing all this planning and preparation done for him, could this be what the others called...

A grandfather's overflowing love...?
