Rebirth of the Prime Dragon Master
Chapter 260 Cultivation Method

Rocky had some time, so he decided to go check on Verdanim at the beast farm first. After all, hehad not seen it in a while now. He looked at the wound on Verdanim's lower abdomen, carefullyscrutinising the skin around it. It seemed to be healing very well and he was certain that the suturewould come off soon. However, the limb was a different ball game altogether. Until they took theplates off, Rocky would never know how that injury was doing.

Everything looked okay at the beast farm and so Rocky lumbered down the dusty pathways andmade his way to the old abandoned house. This was his happy place, and he felt at peace here. Onreaching the threshold, Rocky began to practice and work on his capabilities. He was almost at thesixth grade of the Earthly Stage now and only a little more spiritual power would be needed, beforehe could reach the sixth grade. He couldn't help but think that had he absorbed more spiritualpower while he was in the belly of the Demonic Devouring Boa, he would have easily reached thesixth grade by now.

As he sat there, with just his thoughts to ponder over and nowhere else to be, Rocky went into astate of deep thinking. He could not figure out how everything had occurred. Demonic DevouringBoa's belly was a dangerous place to be in. But even then, while he was in there, he knew that a partof the boa's spiritual power had been transferred to him. It was strange, that not all the power thatthe boa had possessed swarmed into him. It was, as if, the rest of the power simply disappeared intothin air.

But what Rocky did not know was that the spiritual power from the boa had not disappeared. It hadinstead, been absorbed by the power of the Holy Dragon Bead. Even though Marcia had succeededin sealing the powers of the Holy Dragon Bead, the first layer of the seal would be loose as he grewstronger.

As Rocky had reached the fifth grade of the Earthly Stage back then, the first layer of the seal wasnot as solid as before. The power of the Holy Dragon Bead worked and absorbed the invadingspiritual power.

In a way, the power that was absorbed had benefited Rocky because otherwise, his body would nothave been able to survive the exposure to so much power. Rocky's body was still refining thepowers and was not equipped to handle so much in one go.

There was no way that Rocky could have refined so much spiritual power, all by himself. Had it notbeen for the power of the Holy Dragon Bead, Rocky would have most certainly died in the boa'sbelly itself.

As Rocky's power grew, the sealing power of the first layer would have gone kaput and endlesspower of the Holy Dragon Bead would be unleashed. This power would have been too much forRocky to control and manipulate. Only someone who reached the Heavenly Stage would have theability to control this magnitude of power. In fact, the power that was unleashed could be stored fora critical time.

Rocky spent the night in the abandoned house and stepped out of it the next morning. As he did,he saw a strange, colourful figure, pacing back and forth, in front of the house. Uriah and Rubygon,who had been keeping a constant vigilance on the house, looked at this new figure with suspicion."You almost killed me yesterday!" Rocky wasn't sure if his accusations were justified. His voicequavered with self-doubt.

The colorful figure in front of him was Rainbow Glow Unicorn - the troublemaker responsible forgetting Rocky into all sorts of problems.

And even though the beautiful creature understood what Rocky said, it stood there innocentlyhowling, as if it didn't know what he was talking about.

"Did you bring me there yesterday, because you were so distracted by it?" Rocky knew it was futileto blame the Rainbow Glow Unicorn. After all, the spirit-manipulated beasts did not have the samecognitive and thinking functions as humans did. However, Rocky did want an answer to whyRainbow Glow Unicorn brought him there, of all the places. He knew there was only one way to doit - he brought out Dragon Flame Pearl to confront and talk to Rainbow Glow Unicorn.

On seeing its dear friend Dragon Flame Pearl, Rainbow Glow Unicorn brayed in fervent excitement.The Unicorn had come across the envoys of the Roaring Flame Empire, whom the Timber DeityEmpire had been looking for. It was attracted to the spiritual energy that Dragon Flame Pearl wasgiving off.

Dragon Flame Pearl was priceless to the Unicorn. It had been tracking the three envoys, and replaceingDragon Flame Pearl was nothing short of a jackpot. Rainbow Glow Unicorn's search had endedabruptly when they were attacked by the Demonic Devouring Boa. The frightful boa had caught theenvoy who had the three treasures with him and killed him in the cave. That was the reason why theUnicorn knew the Pearl was hiding in the cave.

The whole idea behind bringing Rocky to that place was to exchange it for the magical saliva.However, what Rainbow Glow Unicorn did not anticipate was that such a move would thrust Rocky'slife in danger and might have gotten him killed!

"It was a close shave yesterday, but I escaped and am alive”, said Rocky. "I know we made a dealand I intend to follow through with my share of it. I will give you one drop of magical saliva, nowthat I have my treasure.” Rocky smiled and put his hands inside his pocket. He took out a tiny bottleand opened it, pouring a single drop of saliva on his own outstretched palm. There wasn't much leftin the bottle anyway.

Rainbow Glow Unicorn immediately licked the saliva from Rocky's hand and brayed happily. Itturned away and left.

"I have very little magical saliva left now," said Rocky, looking at the almost-empty bottle in hishand. Yesterday, there was at least half a bottle of saliva in there. But seven or eight drops of it hadgone and now all he was left with, was this. Uriah could only produce five drops of magical salivaevery day. But from this supply, Rocky needed two drops for his daily practice. Three drops neededto be set aside for Dark Heaven Insects. And now, even Rainbow Glow Unicorn had to be sparedone drop. At this rate, they would be out of magical saliva, in no time.

The only way to up their supply of magical saliva was Uriah. Rocky thought to himself, “Uriah iscurrently at the second grade of three stars. If I can get Uriah to reach the third grade of the threestars, it will start producing more saliva. But if Uriah were to level up to the third grade of a threestar beast, I will have to grade up and reach the eighth grade of the Earthly Stage.’ Rocky's thoughtsengulfed him completely. The spirit-manipulated beast could only advance, if the spirit manipulatoralso advanced - otherwise, it was all in vain.

So it all boiled down to this - the only way to upgrade Uriah's power was to upgrade himself.

And after all, for every spirit-manipulated beast, reaching the third grade of three stars was a highlycoveted position. Even amongst the spirit manipulators who had the same power as Rocky's, beingable to have a spirit-manipulated beast at the third grade of three stars was a rarity. In order tobring the spirit-manipulated beast to such a level, the spirit manipulator would have to undergo alot of improvement. Not just that, it would require a certain kind of strength, resilience and treasure,to the quality of the spiritual crystal - which was the rarest amongst the rare.

Now, Rocky's mission was sorted. He had to collect the spiritual crystal, not just for his ownupgrade, but also for the sake of Uriah. Rocky knew, that using the Dark Heaven Egg would alsohelp in improving Uriah's grade. However, it would not be as effective as using the spiritual crystal.The crystal was specially designed for the spirit-manipulated beast.

In the past, Rocky had used the power of the Holy Dragon Bead to refine the spiritual crystal withUriah and it had worked the other way around. The results were stupendous. Rocky figured, thatwhen he would reach the Heavenly Stage, he would probably use another cultivation method. Hewould be able to cultivate himself in the most perfect manner.
