In the stone room, Ye Guang and Ye Baolin stood respectfully at the side. Both of them had solemn expressions and there were tears in their eyes.
"Hey, brat, you are here. You've recovered quite quickly."
Seeing Du Shaofu coming over, the crouching Thunderbolt Demon Lion raised its head. Its gaze had lost its original lustre, and was completely different from the other day when it killed Qin Xiping. Back then, it was so overbearing that everyone?s soul was trembled.
"Senior, I'm here."
Looking at the Thunderbolt Demon Lion in front of him, Du Shaofu's heart ached.
"I'm going to die, like an oil Lamp running out of energy. I really can't hold on any longer." The Thunderbolt Demon Lion looked at Du Shaofu and said.
"Senior, I ?"
Just as Du Shaofu opened his mouth, the Thunderbolt Demon Lion interrupted him and said through its lion's mouth: "I have decided that after I die, my Secret Bone shall be comprehended by you and Ye Family together and, and I shall hand over my Blood Essence to you and Ye Family as well. I hope you can protect the Stone City together in the future."
"Thunder Ancestor!"
Ye Guang and Ye Baolin's eyes trembled. They did not care about Du Shaofu's presence and instantly knelt in front of the Thunderbolt Demon Lion.
"The Thunder Ancestor has protected us Ye Family and the Stone City for so many years. How can we ask for your Secret Bone and Blood Essence. If we cannot even let the Thunder Ancestor keep the entire body after death, how should we Ye Family Clan face the others in the future? We cannot allow such a thing.? Ye Baolin raised his head, and said to the Thunderbolt Demon Lion.
"I would be dead then, what's the point of keeping a corpse?"
The Thunderbolt Demon Lion looked at Ye Baolin and said: "Back then, your Ye Family Ancestor saved my life, and it was because of me that he died so early. Otherwise, with his talent, he should have accomplished something great in this world.
I promised to him that I will protect the Ye Family and the Stone City in my lifetime. After I die, I hope that my Secret Bone and Blood Essence can help cultivate an expert from the Ye Family, so that it can make up for the regret in my heart. "
"Thunder Ancestor, this thing cannot be done!"
Ye Baolin's eyes were moist, unable to hold back his tears anymore.
Ye Zijin also respectfully knelt beside her father, looking at the Thunderbolt Demon Lion, her eyes filled with tears, causing one to feel pity for her.
"Demon Beasts are so much stronger than most humans. This Thunderbolt Demon Lion shouldn't die so early." A mosquito-like voice entered Du Shaofu's ears. Du Shaofu could tell that it was Zhen Qingchun's voice from the small pagoda in his arms.
At this moment, Du Shaofu's eyes were wet as well. For hundreds of years, this Thunderbolt Demon Lion had repaid the debt of gratitude that he had received. Now that its time of death had come, it actually took the initiative to leave behind its own Secret Bone and Blood Essence to continue repaying the gratitude.
"I've already made my decision. There's no need to say anymore. Get up, you all."
The Thunderbolt Demon Lion indicated for Ye Baolin to not speak anymore. Then, he looked at Du Shaofu and said: "Kid, I know that sooner or later you will not be restricted by this small place, that you will soar in the sky, that you will flap your wings in the sky. I once received a favour from the Ye Family Ancestor back then, so I swore I would protect the Ye Family and the Stone City with my whole life, and you can also be considered to have received my favour once. Today, I will once again give you the Secret Bone and the Blood Essence, and I hope that you will agree to continue this oath for me while you live, is that possible? "
Du Shaofu looked at the Thunderbolt Demon Lion, and after a moment, asked: "Senior, do you have any poisoning in your body from the Flame Poison Demon Flood Dragon?"
Following Du Shaofu's words, the gazes of Ye Guang, Ye Baolin, and Ye Zijin all strangely fell on his body. Even in the entire Ye family, only the three of them knew about the poisoning in the Thunder Ancestor's body. How did Du Shaofu know about it?
"That's right, it's the poison of the Flame Poison Demon Flood Dragon. It's been several hundred years, and is deep in my body already. There's no way to treat it now." The Thunderbolt Demon Lion replied with a slightly meaningful gaze as well.
Looking at the Thunderbolt Demon Lion, Du Shaofu was silent for a moment, then said: "Senior, I might be able to cure the poisoning caused by the Flame Poison Demon Flood Dragon."
"What? You're able to treat the poison from the Flame Poison Demon Flood Dragon?"
"Is it true? If it's true, we Ye Family is willing to pay the price no matter what it is."
Ye Guang, Ye Baolin stood up, and all of their gazes tightly locked onto Du Shaofu at the first instant. Their eyes were filled with anticipation, but there was also doubt.
For so many years, every generation of Ye Family had been trying to think of a way to cure the poisoning, and have even invited quite a few powerful Spirit Talisman Masters over, yet there was no solution at all.
"Shaofu, can you really treat the poisoning of the Thunder Ancestor? " Ye Zijin stood up and subconsciously held onto Du Shaofu's arm nervously, her eyes filled with anticipation.
Du Shaofu hesitated for a moment, then said: "I can't guarantee about it, but I'm eighty percent sure."
"Please try to treat the Thunder Ancestor. As long as it can be treated, we Ye Family is willing to pay any cost." Ye Guang and Ye Baolin looked at Du Shaofu pleadingly.
"Please treat the poisoning in the Thunder Ancestor, I beg of you." Ye Zijin shook Du Shaofu's arm and pleaded as well.
"Miss Ye, you have to let me go before I can cure the Senior Thunderbolt Demon Lion." Du Shaofu looked at Ye Zijin and laughed.
"I ?"
Ye Zijin just realized that she had lost control of herself, and had actually held onto Shaofu?s arm tightly. Other than her father, this was the first time she was so intimate with a man, her cheeks were slightly red, but then her attention immediately turned back to the poisoning of the Thunder Ancestor again, and she looked at Du Shaofu pleadingly.
"I'll try my best." Du Shaofu told Ye Zijin and the other two, then looked at Thunderbolt Demon Lion, and said: "Senior, let me try."
"Alright, I'll let you try. Let's see what you can do."
The Thunderbolt Demon Lion nodded, its gaze calm.
In the past few hundred years, it had tried countless methods but none had worked. To the Thunderbolt Demon Lion, this was merely to try one last time. Anyhow, trying this could prevent it from dying alone.
"Shaofu, when can you start? Do you need me to prepare anything? If so, I can go prepare immediately" Ye Baolin looked at Du Shaofu and asked nervously.
?From now on, there is no need to prepare anything. Just give me a big bowl, and when I am treating the Thunderbolt Demon Lion's poisoning, don't let anyone come in and disturb us. Help me tell my first uncle as well that I will stay here for a few days.? Du Shaofu said.
Ye Guang scrambled to nod his head and said to Du Shaofu: "Definitely not a problem. I will personally stand guard outside the door. One can only come in over my dead body.?
After a moment, only Du Shaofu and the Thunderbolt Demon Lion remained in the stone room.
"Kid, let's begin. I'll give it a try with you."
The Thunderbolt Demon Lion looked at Du Shaofu and said, although the old lion body was no longer robust, it still had a powerful aura.
"Let's begin, I will teach you how to do it step by step. This is extremely difficult for others, but you are cultivating the methods of the Golden Winged Roc, and your blood is similar to a Golden Winged Roc's. Therefore, it shall not be too difficult for you, at most it requires some hard work." Zhen Qingchun's voice that was as small as a mosquito entered Du Shaofu's ears.
Du Shaofu began to move. With Zhen Qingchun guiding him step by step, he felt a lot more at ease.
"Chi la!"
In the midst of the Thunderbolt Demon Lion's astonished gaze, Du Shaofu took out a dagger from the Universe Bag and sliced it across his own wrist. Then, a faint golden blood immediately dripped from his veins into the large bowl that he had prepared earlier.
?Boom!?
As the light golden blood dripped from Du Shaofu's wrist, the stone room suddenly trembled. From the light golden blood, a mysterious Talisman Secret Mark surged out, sending out terrifying aura in an instant.
Within the aura fluctuations, there seemed to be Energy of Heaven and Earth that were gathering towards the golden blood.
Inside the stone room, a faint golden light shone like the rising sun, and its aura overflowed into the sky.
"This is?!"
The Thunderbolt Demon Lion's originally calm lion eyes suddenly began to shake violently, and its body that was lying on the ground began to tremble as it stood up.
The aura that was spreading out from the golden blood made its heart tremble and feel suppressed. Even it had to respect that aura.
"Senior, after consuming this blood, I will use my Profound Qi to help remove the poison from your body."
Du Shaofu's fingers touched his wrist where the skin had been cut through, instantly stopping the blood from dripping out, and then, he handed over a small bowl of blood, of faint golden colour, to the Thunderbolt Demon Lion.
The faint-golden coloured blood was dazzling as energy surged. The Talisman Secret Mark gushed out, as if there was a Golden Winged Roc that was about to fly out from the blood in the bowl.
Sensing the energy undulations from the golden blood, the Thunderbolt Demon Lion looked at Du Shaofu with trembling eyes. It could vaguely sense why Du Shaofu said that he could treat the injuries on its body.
Its lion eyes were filled with excitement. For the past several hundred years, it had never thought that it would feel such a sense of hope when about to face death, and its feelings were imaginable.
"This is the aura of the Golden Winged Roc Clan. Kid, I won't be polite then."
The Thunderbolt Demon Lion looked at Du Shaofu and nodded, it did not say anything, then a suction force came out from its mouth, instantly sucking in the faint-golden blood from Du Shaofu's bowl into its mouth and swallowing it all.
Boom!
The moment the Thunderbolt Demon Lion swallowed the faint-golden blood from Du Shaofu's body, its body started to tremble violently. The thunder and lightning around its body started to flash, and in its originally lifeless eyes, the light of thunder and lightning started to gather.
And at this time, a terrifying energy emanated from the Thunderbolt Demon Lion's body.
Under this terrifying energy wave, the light of thunder and lightning around the Thunderbolt Demon Lion became brighter and brighter, and a black flame fog seemed to faintly seep out of the Thunderbolt Demon Lion's skin.
"Roar!"
The Thunderbolt Demon Lion growled lowly, as if it was enduring some sort of pain.
Looking at the black flame fog that was spreading out from the Thunderbolt Demon Lion's body, Du Shaofu's expression turned serious. It was likely that the black flame was related to the poison of the Flame Poison Demon Flood Dragon.
"Senior, if you can hold on, I'll give you a hand!"
With a low shout, Du Shaofu followed Zhen Qingchun's instructions and sat cross-legged in front of the Thunderbolt Demon Lion. The seal on his hands changed, and a burst of faint golden Profound Qi instantly surged out from his body, then rushed into the Thunderbolt Demon Lion's body.
