Ah Jiu usually helped me change clothes, and I always kept my mask on. The wound on my back needed to be aired out; otherwise, it wouldn’t heal properly. But Ah Jiu, being the idiot he was, hadn’t taken care of it, so I had simply thrown off my clothes when I returned to the room last night. And now, Song Qiyuan had seen me like this. I hadn’t expected him to be so embarrassed, but I couldn’t resist teasing him.7f8985a4ae8acc58

If I recalled correctly, when I first wrote 《Heavenly Demon Tribulation》, I defined the 《Heavenly Dragon Technique》 as an incredibly powerful cultivation method that simultaneously trained one’s profound energy and physique. It allowed one to cultivate potent and stable profound energy while also tempering the body, enabling cultivators to eventually challenge the celestial stars. However, it had strict requirements for the cultivator’s physique, making it unsuitable for ordinary people. But with Song Qiyuan’s current constitution, enhanced by the Qiongqi’s blood, these techniques were now within his reach.423a23987b998917
