Chapter 385: Chapter 266: Major and Minor Will Divine Skills, Dragon Blood Steed_2
Little Li was still only an Innate Level spiritual beast, so it was normal for its strength to fall short.
At that moment, Little Li’s body also began to shrink gradually until it returned to its usual size.
“Why has it returned to normal so quickly?” Lu Qing expressed his surprise.
He thought the little guy would show off for a bit longer.
“No more transforming, it’s so tiring to get bigger, it’s better this way.”
Little Li hopped onto the bed, lay down, and stuck out its tongue, not wanting to move anymore.
“Does maintaining your larger size exhaust you?” Lu Qing raised an eyebrow in inquiry.
“Yeah, it’s tiring. Just now was the biggest I can get at the moment, I can only sustain it for a quarter of an hour. If I made myself a little smaller, I could last longer.”
“It seems like your transformation Divine Skill, after growing larger, while your strength increases, the consumption of your stamina also greatly increases,” Lu Qing realized.
Plainly put, Little Li’s transformation Divine Skill was actually like the explosive secret techniques also used by martial artists, which could unleash greater power in a short time, but likewise, the energy consumption would also significantly increase.
However, compared to them, Little Li’s transformation Divine Skill was much more mystical.
“Since it’s like this, Little Li, you normally shouldn’t use this Divine Skill, and also, don’t casually tell others about it.”
Little Li’s previous transformation into a larger size was terrifying, leaving even Lu Qing somewhat shocked.
Its transformation Divine Skill could definitely be used as a trump card.
“Hmm, I got it,” Little Li said weakly.
It didn’t want to use such a tiring new skill anyway.
“And about you speaking, also keep it to yourself for the time being.”
“Okay~” Little Li likewise agreed.
After all, besides Lu Qing and Little Yan, it didn’t like to bother with other people.
And since Little Yan could not hear it talk for now, it will mostly just talk to Lu Qing.
“Brother Lu Qing, are you awake yet?”
Just as Lu Qing was about to say something else, suddenly, Ma Gu’s voice came from outside the room.
“I’m awake, what’s wrong?”
“There seems to be some trouble with our cart-pulling horses, I’m afraid you need to come out and take a look.”
“The horses have trouble?” Something stirred in Lu Qing’s mind, and he immediately said, “Alright, go ahead, I’ll be right out.”
“Little Li, you rest here for a while, I’ll go and have a look.”
After giving these instructions, Lu Qing walked out of the room and towards the stable.
Arriving at the stable, he saw Ma Gu standing outside of it, in a daze.
“Uncle Ma, what happened?”
“Brother Lu Qing, you’re here?” As Ma Gu came to his senses, he quickly made way, “You take a look. I don’t know what happened overnight; our two horses, they seem, seem to have changed somewhat.”
Lu Qing approached and peered into the stable, and he could not help but become somewhat stunned himself.
Well, I’ll be, the two horses had not only become a size larger overnight, but even their originally slightly grey fur had turned snow white.
They looked suddenly majestic, more than ten times over.
Most importantly, both horses now sported a small white horn on their foreheads, decorated with strange patterns.
“Brother Lu Qing, do you see? Are these still our two horses?” Ma Gu asked, hardly believing what he saw.
The two steeds in the stable, seeing Lu Qing, came over and affectionately tried to rub against his hand.
Lu Qing stroked their heads and nodded, “Indeed, they are our two horses. Something happened last night, you and Zi’an were asleep and did not see it…”
Lu Qing briefly described the previous night’s events, leaving Ma Gu both amazed and regretful.
Amazed by the miraculous occurrence of the previous night and regretful for having slept too deeply due to exhaustion and having missed such a spectacle.
“So you’re saying, these two horses changed like this because they drank what you call the Moon Essence?” Ma Gu asked.
“Exactly, but this change should be a good thing for them. The Moon Essence is greatly beneficial to all living creatures. Now it seems like their bloodlines have undergone a transformation.”
“No wonder,” Ma Gu had a sudden realization, “This morning I almost thought our horses had run off.”
This morning, when he came to check on the horses, he indeed had quite a shock.
If it wasn’t because he drove the carriage daily and was extremely familiar with the two horses that pulled it, he wouldn’t have been able to find some identifying marks on these two drastically changed fellas.
And their bridles were ones he recognized.
He couldn’t help but wonder if some scatterbrain had switched their horses.
Lu Qing laughed, stroking the heads of the two horses that nuzzled up to him, and at the same time, he activated his Superpower, looking over them.
Soon, a rich red light of Superpower emerged from the two horses.
[Dragon Blood Steed: A magnificent steed that has awakened a trace of the ancient dragon bloodline.]
[Having consumed Moon Essence containing Rule Power, its lineage has undergone a transformation, awakening a trace of ancient dragon blood, greatly increasing its strength and stamina.]
[It is said that within most living creatures in the world, there lies a trace of ancient dragon blood. Once awakened, they can receive the empowerment of dragon power.]
…
“Sure enough, the bloodline has transformed.”
After seeing the information that emerged from the two horses, Lu Qing’s eyes showed a look of surprise.
He had speculated about the change in these two fellows when he saw them.
But the benefits the two horses had received were a bit beyond his expectations.
He had not expected them to awaken the dragon power deep within their blood, transforming into Dragon Blood Steeds.
This was a good thing.
With the blessing of these two Dragon Blood Steeds, their speed to the Holy Mountain could be even faster.
“Ma Gu, these two horses have undergone a bloodline transformation; their strength has increased a lot, and their speed will also be quicker. Be careful when we set off,” said Lu Qing.
“Don’t worry, Lu Qing brother; no matter how fast, I can control them,” replied Ma Gu confidently.
That was no idle boast.
Over the past few days, running daily, Ma Gu was confident that, when it came to horse-driving skills, he could at least be considered at a Grandmaster level.
“Then you should get familiar with them first. These horses’ spiritual nature has also increased substantially; driving them should not be difficult.
I’m going to head out, and after we have our breakfast upon my return, we’ll be setting off.
Last night, I discussed with Master, and after we set off, we won’t make any unnecessary stops and will aim to reach the Holy Mountain as soon as possible.”
“I understand,” Ma Gu replied with a solemn expression, taking it seriously.
After leaving Ma Gu to familiarize himself with the two Dragon Blood Steeds, Lu Qing left the inn and headed towards the Renxin Medical Clinic.
“Young Master Lu, you’re here?”
As soon as he arrived at the Renxin Medical Clinic, he saw the young apprentice waiting at the door. Spotting Lu Qing, his eyes suddenly brightened, and he hurried over.
“You’re up so early, little master?” Lu Qing said with a smile.
“My master instructed me to get up early and wait for you, so I have been up since dawn.
Mr. Lu, I have prepared all the medicinal herbs you requested,” said the apprentice earnestly.
“Thank you very much. By the way, how is the patient from last night?” Lu Qing asked.
“Not long after you left, Uncle Wang woke up and has now gone home to recuperate,” replied the apprentice.
“That’s good to hear.”
Lu Qing was relieved and followed the apprentice into the clinic, where he saw Dr. Zhao also sitting there.
“Dr. Zhao, you’re up early too?” Lu Qing was slightly surprised.
“I have always been accustomed to getting up early,” replied Dr. Zhao gently. “Did Young Master Lu sleep well last night?”
“Not too bad,” Lu Qing nodded slightly. “Dr. Zhao, I’ve come to collect the medicinal herbs I arranged for yesterday.”
“The herbs are ready. Xiao Yi, go get the herbs for Young Master Lu.”
“Yes, Master,” the apprentice responded respectfully, and from behind the counter, he brought out a big bundle. “Mr. Lu, here are the herbs you arranged for; please check them.”
“No need,” Lu Qing took the bundle directly and produced his purse. “How much is the total?”
“You are too kind, Young Master Lu. The herbs you ordered aren’t expensive, and the silver you left yesterday is more than enough to cover the cost of the herbs. We actually owe you a tael of silver,” Dr. Zhao said warmly.
He then had Xiao Yi take out a tael of silver and handed it to Lu Qing.
“Thank you then,” Lu Qing, without any fuss, accepted the silver and put it in his purse. “Dr. Zhao, I have other matters and shall not disturb you any longer. Goodbye.”
“Safe travels, Young Master Lu.”
Unexpectedly, this time, Dr. Zhao did not try to retain Lu Qing but instead sent him out of the clinic politely.
After Lu Qing left, a figure appeared behind Dr. Zhao.
“Master, why not ask Young Master Lu about the celestial phenomenon last night? What exactly happened?”
