Members of the Dragon Worship Cult know that their very existence may cause harm to others. It is natural for them to be called a cult, and they will not reject them in any way.

But just like there are people in this world who pray to the devil for power and wealth.

Similarly, some people join the Dragon Worship Cult in order to gain powerful power.

And dragon blood holders will never stop because of such 'evil'.

They will move forward.

"It's funny, people always feel sad when they get old."

Standing on the cliff with Ian, looking at the lake in the distance, Elder Manya touched his beard, and there was still sadness in his eyes.

Judging from the fact that the old man is also a holder of dragon blood, the members of the Dragon Worship Cult who created this lake are most likely his ancestors.

He turned his head, sighed, and wanted to continue to teach Ian some key points about the secret method of concealing aura.

But when Elder Manya looked at Ian and found no dragon blood aura on him, he was stunned for several seconds.

"etc……"

When he came to his senses, the old man didn't hold back at all and took a deep breath: "Have you learned it?"

Ian raised his head blankly: "Huh?"

He just analyzed the principle of the concealment secret method based on the skills mentioned by Elder Manya, and realized that this is an independent source species that has been strengthened and specialized in the introverted type. It operates semi-automatically with the power of dragon blood, and will gather the dragons. The blood essence is continuously condensed on an entity, 'Dragon Crystal' or 'Dragon Bone'.

He is familiar with this matter. He has mastered the technique of dissolving and re-condensing multiple source species at the age of eight, and his ancient dragon heart core and ether crystal are indeed the "dragon blood organ", which is related to dragons, perfect. Adapt this technique.

So he tried twice and succeeded twice, successfully condensing an undetectable crystal in his body.

And this crystal will gradually grow larger over time, which is a troublesome place.

So Ian told the old mountain man about this problem. He was not sure how to deal with this crystal.

"Putting aside the crystallization thing, you actually learned it so quickly?! How dare you directly use the secret method that I, a cult member who has only known you for a few minutes, told you?!"

Elder Manya was still in disbelief. He grabbed Ian's arm and looked at it carefully.

The young man smiled: "Elder, don't forget that I am a psychic. I can feel your emotions... As for whether this concealment method is effective or not, I can tell at a glance."

"Even so, it's too risky."

The old man carefully studied Ian's expression and found that the other person was really at a loss. He didn't know why he was surprised: "Genius... No wonder Master Gosei also said that you are a genius. I originally thought it was little Grant's bragging, but now I see Come on, that was a rare and pertinent speech from him."

Suppressing the shock in his heart, Elder Manya breathed out a breath. He motioned for Ian to sit on the rock, then he reached out his hand and took out a crystal from the area on his forehead that was covered by his hair.

"This is Dragon Crystal. To put it bluntly, it is an element crystal condensed by ourselves. After taking it directly, we can instantly obtain a large amount of source material that we suppressed in the past as combat supplies."

The old man showed this silver-white, gem-like crystal to Ian and explained in detail: "It will cause great harm to the body and will also accelerate the conversion rate, but it is a rare way to save one's life in times of crisis. . Because it comes from the same origin as us, it can even temporarily strengthen the ability of our dragon-shaped parts."

"After all, we are dragon-blooded people, and our physical fitness can still withstand this kind of damage. Generally speaking, the harm outweighs the benefits, but it has the value of existence."

Having said this, Elder Manya paused his bone staff and said, "You are an alchemist. It is the same if you use it directly as element crystallization. You can usually save some energy costs, and you can produce and sell it yourself."

"This is...an unexpected good thing."

Although for ordinary dragon blood holders, this function is a bit useless, but Ian is keenly aware that with ether crystals, he can continuously condense excess source essence, and he can use this kind of dragon more efficiently. crystallization'!

Apart from anything else, he can really achieve the freedom to crystallize the elements of alchemy - this is something that only a noble alchemist like Isengard can do!

What's more, even Isengard cannot obtain high-purity element crystals in the wild.

But he, Ian, is so simple that he can just tear it off from himself.

The elder took Ian back to the sacrificial room, where Anfa and Xiou were waiting for them.

"Thank you for saving my life."

Ian sincerely thanked these two acquaintances who had good hearts. Without their "brave deeds," he would not have been able to think of a smooth and unsuspected way to sneak into the Dragon Cult.

Moreover, Ian did obtain quite important information and skills from the Dragon Worship Cult.

The concealment secret method can not only hide dragon blood organs such as the ancient dragon core and ether crystals, but also hide his strength, allowing Ian to better hide his second-level fairy blood.

Therefore, his gratitude was sincere. Even a person like Xiou, who was originally a dragon, could not detect the slightest hint of hypocrisy.

"Actually, there's no need to thank me..." Hearing Ian's sincere thanks, Xiou felt a little uncomfortable: "I should really help you get rid of the pursuer behind... Okay, to be honest, I actually just want to wait. If I help you when you are injured, it might seem more forceful..."

"Oh, I have to say sorry to you..."

Saying this, he actually apologized to Ian, which made the young man even feel the slightest bit of guilt for deceiving an innocent and good boy.

After classifying Xio as a 'good guy who is innocent and a little silly', Ian looked at the 'interesting and suspicious Elf Bachelor'.

"We are all companions. Ian, you are also a dragon-blooded person here in Nanling. Of course we are natural allies. It is natural to help each other, so there is no need to be so grateful."

Anfa spoke very royal lines in a polite manner.

Ian nodded slightly in his mind, this is a serious social elf, without any flaws.

Because he had known Anfa and Xiou for a long time, Ian was taken to change clothes by Elder Manya without long exchanges.

"Your original armor is broken and most of your clothes are missing. Fortunately, the things inside are not damaged."

The Avud tribe is a mountain tribe that often trades with the Chamber of Commerce. There is no shortage of clothing. Elder Manya took out a set of alchemist equipment from the warehouse and asked Ian to put it on.

When the young man who had changed his attire walked out of the quiet room, he smiled and praised: "That's good. The robe suits you better than the armor."

At this time, Ian was wearing a slate gray hooded robe, with an alchemy belt and a waist bag tied in the middle. The hanging part could only barely cover his knees. The part below the knees was the military boots and long boots that originally matched the armor. pants.

It's not a very good match, but because of the person wearing it, he does look like a young alchemist.

"It's really good." Ian also felt a rare sense of relief - the alchemist armor is indeed light, but in the final analysis it is still armor. Even if his physical fitness can easily bear this kind of burden, compared with the robes and cloth, it is still quite large. different.

Just when Ian felt this sense of relief, Elder Manya stretched out his hand and pressed on the young man's shoulder.

Ian raised his head and looked at the other party, but what he saw was a pair of silver-gray dragon eyes.

"Ian."

The old man said in a solemn tone: "Although I believe that with your intelligence, you can guess what I am going to say next... but I still have to say it formally."

"Are you willing to join the Dragon Cult?"

Ian was a little surprised. He smiled slightly and bowed his head to Elder Manya calmly and formally: "Of course."

"That's exactly what I wanted."

"Welcome, another dragon-blooded companion."

The old man also smiled from the bottom of his heart. He didn't feel it. He saw Ian's reluctance at all, so he was delighted: "In that case, let's do it."

"Although it's not appropriate between emotion and reason, you are also from Nanling, so you must know this secret."

After finishing speaking, Elder Manya turned around and walked outside.

And Ian followed, and he asked with some curiosity and confusion: "What secret?"

"of course?"

The old man said calmly: "Of course it is the thing that put Nauman City under martial law, made Anfa and Xio run back and forth, and even the King of the Mountain spread his wings for this reason."

"There are secrets about the 'important things' that the Canaan Moore branch is going to deliver to us!"
