Chapter 561: 555: Purplesun Elixir
Time flew by quickly, and in the blink of an eye, half a month had already passed.
This relatively short period of time was nothing but a simple retreat for the Ghost Emperor powerhouses, with minimal overall improvement, but for David Jones, it was a rare phase of dramatic strength leaps.
All the little ones in the Mesona Space received considerable benefits, especially Lolo, who was the strongest and had wasted countless years in a low-level dungeon.
With the substantial strengthening from the Martial Mushroom’s essence, not only were the deficiencies within Lolo’s body replenished, but his unparalleled Cultivation skyrocketed to a level that even David Jones found hard to comprehend.
The speed at which Lolo was gaining strength by leaps and bounds each day even made David Jones suspect that it was not so much advancing in Level as it was recovering the power it had lost due to its self-seal in the past.
Seeing the normally silent partners suddenly making rapid progress under the influence of the elixirs, and the previously somewhat slack little ones were all rolling up their sleeves, especially Rainbow, who was obsessed with the position of ace Pet.
Seeing this, David Jones couldn’t help but accelerate the strengthening of the top-grade Dragon Crystals so that he could make use of all the Dragon-Breath Herb stored within the Star Ring as soon as possible.
“Boom!”
Under the infusion of the Dragon-Wielding Power, the pale pink Dragon Crystal transformed into a vibrant orange, emitting dreamlike and fantastical glimmers.
“Finally, another top-grade Dragon Crystal is refined!”
Looking at the stunning Dragon treasure in front of him, David Jones’s heart overflowed with joy.
The awakening of the Hidden Dragon trait also acted as a Power enhancement for the Dragon-Wielding, greatly increasing his efficiency in strengthening Dragon Crystals. What originally was estimated to take a month to refine, David Jones could now achieve in half a month, effectively doubling the strengthening efficiency.
Before David Jones could enjoy his achievement for long, he saw Rainbow at the edge of the bed, gazing at him with eager eyes.

David Jones, holding the top-grade Dragon Crystal in his right hand, paused slightly, understanding that he couldn’t keep this Dragon Crystal for himself.
Thus, with the help of the top-grade Dragon Crystal and the Dragon-Breath Herb, Rainbow’s original slow strength growth surged once more, catching up with Daphne, who had devoured three stalks of Dragon-Breath Herb, reaching the apex of Class V, just one step away from Class VI King.
The massive strength surge in the two Pets also brought about Contract Power feedback for David Jones, enabling him to take a firm step forward in the mid-stage of Class V.
The only regret for David Jones was that the contract position he had initially reserved was compressed due to the strength increase of the two Pets. Coupled with Lolo’s increasingly formidable power, this caused a change in the Contract plan, and the date for forming a Contract with Lolo had to be postponed once again.
…
The next morning.
Outside the doors of old Mr. Clark’s lavish manor stood rows of knights, uniform and imposing, exuding an incredibly strong aura.
By the side of these burly knights were Flare Heavenly Wolves, their sharp curved Aries horns, unfolded double wings, and bodies clad in defensive armor, forcing pedestrians on the streets to avert their gaze.
Standing at the very front of the procession, the strongest Commander Lynn Lindwood saw two figures emerge from the doorway, and along with the knights behind, offered a slight bow.
“Sir, the dragon carriage is ready, we can depart at any time.”
Rossetti Lindwood accepted the gesture with a tranquil expression, as if the Ghost before her was not a Ghost Emperor powerhouse but an ordinary Ghost Warlord that one could easily encounter on the street, causing a trace of surprise and incredulity to appear in Lynn Lindwood’s eyes.
David Jones was a great master of the healing arts, naturally imposing, so it was normal for him to be unaffected by her gesture, but how could this woman, with a broken Ghost horn and lesser strength, calmly accept such a gesture from her!
“To put it bluntly, as a mere Ghost Lord apex, an ant to him, he wouldn’t need to make a move himself; just by releasing the Ghost Emperor’s aura, he could crush a whole bunch of them.”
Unfortunately, this frail woman is David Jones’s disciple, and he couldn’t use any of his usual methods on her.
Quelling her curiosity, Lynn Lindwood led the way, lifting the curtain of the dragon carriage for David Jones.
“Good morning, sir!”
Sensing David Jones’s presence, Lornaa Lindwood greeted him with a light chuckle.
David Jones nodded, then turned his attention to Theodore Lindwood, who sat beside her, becoming ever more confident.
Even without activating the Illusion-Piercing Eye, he could sense that after just half a month of not seeing him, the Prince, having broken free from his shackles and soared to the skies, was now an early-stage Ghost Prince.
“The depths of the great Umbral royal family are indeed extraordinary!” David Jones said calmly as he boarded the dragon carriage.
As the luxurious dragon carriage took off into the sky, the knights guarding on either side immediately stirred up a fierce wind. The Heavenly Wolves they rode upon leapt into the sky, vanishing from the sight of the many citizens below.
Inside the carriage.
Lornaa Lindwood’s bright eyes slightly lifted, looking across at the beautiful and appealing woman, though some lines were hidden beneath black patterns, her eyes filled with curiosity and admiration.
This wasn’t her first encounter with Rossetti Lindwood, but even so, she couldn’t help but be shocked by David Jones’s incomprehensible medical skills.
Even the Venerable Healers, who couldn’t cure Hemorrhagic Fever, were no match for David Jones’s extraordinary and saintly medical techniques, which seemed unparalleled. Unfortunately, Hemorrhagic Fever affected a limited specific group of people, mostly noble scions who had yet to become powerful.
After all, for those whose cultivation had reached the Ghost King Level or above, their blood had been refined, making it almost impossible to suffer from Hemorrhagic Fever.
Unless there was a prodigy in the family suffering from Hemorrhagic Fever, David Jones, in the eyes of these powerful figures, was merely a man with a terrifying reputation, his status inferior to an Imperial Healer capable of concocting the ghost emperor elixir.
However, if David Jones could cure the cultivation blockage caused by a broken Aries, his influence in the great Umbral would become entirely different.
It should be noted that the Aries is simultaneously the strongest and the most fragile point on a Ghost’s body. If it is damaged by an external force, the consequences range from falling cultivation levels and a drastic reduction in strength to becoming crippled or even death on the spot.
To eradicate the increasingly rampant Demonic Beasts within the territory, the number of powerful beings lost by the great Umbral over these years is countless, including Ghost Emperor levels, and there is even a Ghost Deity who guarded the royal city, refused to retreat despite being outmatched, and suffered a broken Aries, resulting in a significant drop in cultivation.
Thinking of this, Lornaa Lindwood’s eyes focused on the extraordinary man before her and she softly said, “Sir, a broken Aries and Hemorrhagic Fever are both incurable diseases from ancient times, now that Hemorrhagic Fever has been conquered by you, do you think there’s a possibility for a broken Aries to be healed in the future?”
David Jones glanced at Rossetti Lindwood beside him and gave a noncommittal smile, choosing not to respond directly.
Rossetti Lindwood’s body carried the noble bloodline of a Ghost Deity, a one-in-a-billion exception, which is why she could break the curse of a broken Aries; this did not mean it was universally applicable, but that did not imply that David Jones had no ways to deal with a broken Aries.
In his mind, the Class VIII SS tier Golden Elixir formula “Purplesun Elixir” had immense Creation Force that could bring a dying legend back to life, reforge their legendary body, and healing a broken Aries should naturally be within its capabilities.
But David Jones did not currently possess the ability to concoct Golden Elixirs, and naturally, he would not reveal the existence of the Purplesun Elixir.
Nevertheless, David Jones’s ambiguous smile was seen as a certain affirmation in Lornaa Lindwood’s eyes.
“A person with great aspirations in his youth, his future is boundless!” Lornaa Lindwood was moved internally.
