Qin Mu laughed. "I am now the Heavenly Sword Sect's only disciple, and I'm guaranteed to win that competition, so another bottle is perfectly reasonable."

Ao Mengmeng's dragon horns emitted a shadowy image of indignation. "Impossible! It is absolutely impossible! Spirit Marrow is a rare herb. Not only does it purify the lingering effects of the herb, it also improves one's physique and understanding. It improves affinity when understanding the domains and cosmos laws. A pellet this precious would, if it fell into the starry sky, result in a conflict among infinite deities relating to their heirs, resulting in star rivers collapsing from the bloodshed!"

Hiss!! This stuff clearly had some heavy background.

[Ding! Detected host consuming Star Realm Level legendary potion: Cosmic Spirit Marrow!]

[All residual medicinal properties have been fully utilized.]

[Ding! Martial Artist cultivation upgraded!]

[Ding! Mentalist cultivation upgraded!]

[Due to the Spirit Marrow, when upgrading Domains, you will receive 3 critical strike opportunities (max +2 additional levels). When upgrading Laws, you will receive 2 critical strike opportunities (max +1 additional level).]

Oh my God! This wasn't "some background", it was truly amazing. This was a legendary potion from the Star Realm that even gods contested. This Heavenly Sword Sect did not disappoint its glorious heritage; despite being destroyed, its root was deep. A sect with such heritage is a world apart from a humble school struggling from nothing.

In this universe, while ordinary people depend solely on natural talent, the true forces of the cosmos resort to every possible means to upgrade their disciples. One level has now become three after the consumption of the Spirit Marrow. An ordinary person has no way to measure up to that standard.

"Now do you understand?" Ao Mengmeng caught Qin Mu's stunned expression and was overjoyed with her superiority. "Spirit Marrow is valuable and cannot be drunk carelessly. You do not even have a Domain. It would simply be wasteful. You can have no more than a bottle."

Qin Mu highly desired to voice this: "I drank it, and it certainly wasn't wasted on me!"

Qin Mu could only ask, "Just now, I heard you say that besides Domains, there are Laws? What are those?"

Ao Mengmeng waved her small hand. "Laws are matters after the Star Realm Level. Spirit Marrow is most potent then, but currently, the Heavenly Sword Sect has no one else besides you as its sole cultivator, and as such, this Queen was forced to invest some capital."

Star Realm level? Ha! That was indeed far off.

While Qin Mu was thinking. Ao Mengmeng cast her gaze at the Dragon's Nest near her. "Hurry up, time is limited. You have passed the test and have Dragon Refining Pills, have you not? Now, swallow those pills to upgrade your body to the physique of a Star Rank Martial Artist, thus raising your resistance to Domain damage."

"Don't you have any?" Qin Mu asked. Qin Mu had some, but he wanted to hold back some for his sister.

"How could I have such low-end medicinal pills here?" Ao Mengmeng was speechless.

"This Queen is a Dao Protecting Divine Dragon; any disciple I deign to cultivate must at least have a Star Realm Level cultivation, right?"

"Low-class" medicinal pills, which martial artists in the Dragon Star would kill for, were nothing special to her. However, she was not lying. If it wasn't a Star Realm legend, she wasn't interested.

Qin Mu consumed a bottle of Dragon Refining Pills.

[Ding! Detected host consuming Star Rank legendary potion: Dragon Refining Pill! Rank increased!]

[Current Martial Artist Rank: First-Rank Grandmaster... Ninth-Rank Grandmaster... Grandmaster Peak!]

That's it? Qin Mu was stunned. Still no breakthrough to Star Rank?

Ao Mengmeng collapsed to the floor, wailing. "Waaah~ Mengmeng was tricked by you!! Your talent is so trashy!! Even Dragon Refining Pills couldn't help you breakthrough to Star Rank. If you had this physique in the Heavenly Sword Sect, you'd be kicked off the mountain!"

Qin Mu didn't agree. "This is normal. Talent isn't just about the physical body. If it were, the Heavenly Sword Sect would just recruit True Dragons like you and be done with it. Talent is about the speed of the breakthrough. A high starting point doesn't mean you run fast."

Ao Mengmeng was baffled, her dragon eyes blinking as her mind raced over this.

"Wait. I am your master!!" Qin Mu frowned. "Do I need to care what you think? You have so many things in that little pocket hand them over."

Plop! Ao Mengmeng instantly fell down, tightly guarding her pocket. "Master is Master, but Master can't go through Ao Mengmeng's pocket! And Mengmeng hasn't asked you for a contract gift yet!"

"The Dragon is already mine, and you still want a gift? You're dreaming." Qin Mu immediately nipped her idea in the bud.

Ao Mengmeng stayed on the ground, speaking seriously. "When it comes to cultivation, Mengmeng makes the decisions! The Heavenly Sword Sect has rules. I've already made an exception with my personal stash; there's nothing else in my pocket you can use yet. You can't even fully utilize the Dragon Sword robe or the Silver Dragon casket. Higher tier equipment would crush you under its weight, and potent spirit medicines would make you explode."

Stingy Dragon, Qin Mu thought. He checked his status.

[Qin Mu]

[Martial Dao: Grandmaster Peak (Punch breaks 10 million)]

[Mentalist: Dominion Grandmaster Peak (Sword breaks 10 billion)]

[Mental Power Quantity: 121]

The Dragon Sword battle robe on his body could negate 99% of all damage below Galaxy Level and Domain Level 9. Only 1% needed to be borne by his physical body. But even that 1% of a Star Rank attack was hundreds of millions—enough to blast through a body weaker than a Grandmaster.

He was stable in defense, whereas in attack, he was invincible.

Rumble! The Star Rank Fire Dragon, enraged by the nuclear explosion, let out a roar. Within the radius of one hundred miles from its body, crimson flames erupted. These were not residual fires but Domain flames at temperatures higher than that of a nuclear blast.
