Dense amounts of pure qi filled the air around Shun Long and Little Black, as the 'Heaven Swallowing vine' consumed more and more middle-grade spirit stones.
The black dragon sighed inwardly as he thought to himself
''How good would it have been if master had this vine in his previous life?

As this thought flashed through his mind, Little Black had already coiled himself around Shun Long, and started to munch on a stalk of 'dragonblood grass', as he watched Shun Long absorb the pure qi around them inside his body.
As Shun Long circulated the 'Monarch's Hourglass', the indistinct figure of an hourglass expanded from his body, as 12 balls of qi were now floating above his head.
