Chapter 271 – Dragon Skeleton Grass at the Bottom of the Lake
Chapter 271 – Lake Bottom Dragon Skeleton Grass
When he took on the task of raising augur dragons in the Thousand Dragon Lake, that snow-white chi dragon was one of the augur dragons he raised at that time, with outstanding talent, and it was the earliest to be promoted to a third-grade augur dragon.
Unexpectedly, he saw his old friend from before once again on the island of the Confucian Scribe.
Lu Xuan couldn’t help but feel emotional.
In the distance, the Ice Chip happened to glance over, and the moment it saw Lu Xuan, its figure paused in mid-air.
It too recognized Lu Xuan’s familiar figure.
“Aang~”
With a low roar, the ice chi dragon was like a spear of ice, shooting straight towards Lu Xuan, swimming happily in the waters near him.
“Senior Brother Lu is acquainted with this ice chi?”
Tao Zhiqing saw this and asked curiously.
“I won’t hide it from you, Senior Brother, when I was still in the Qi Practicing Realm, I once raised this ice chi dragon for a period of time.”
Lu Xuan explained.
“I see, in that case, it seems that I still have quite a destiny with Senior Brother Lu.”
The elegant scribe’s heart was relieved.
Of the batch of scaly dragon pythons raised earlier, only this ice chi dragon in front of him, as well as another two-headed scaly dragon had been promoted to the third grade, while the other upper limit was estimated to be only the second grade, thus Lu Xuan was extremely impressed with this ice chi dragon that had once brought its own little brother.
The ice chi dragon was naturally the same, if not for Lu Xuan’s customized recipes for it, the time for it to advance to the third grade would have been delayed for a long time, I’m afraid.
Despite being unruly when they first met, after realizing how much Lu Xuan had helped him, the ice chi’s heart was filled with gratitude towards him.
After the one man and one chi dragon exchanged feelings with each other, Lu Xuan began to do an examination for the scaly dragon under the elegant scribe, drawing some blood along the way.
After feeding them some demonic beast blood and meat, Lu Xuan had a detailed understanding of the condition of each of the scaly dragons.
“Hmm? There seems to be a problem.”
The information that appeared in his mind when he examined a snow-white scaly dragon caused his movements to lurch.
[Snowline Auger, Third Grade Auger Dragon, innately controlling the power of ice and snow, loves to lurk in extremely cold environments].
[Containing a trace of true dragon skeleton essence within its body, it cannot be absorbed properly due to the wide disparity in grade, and can only roam within its body.]
“True dragon skeleton essence? It sounds like it’s not a mortal object, but if it can’t be absorbed, will it be beneficial or harmful to this Snowline Jiao?”
Lu Xuan thought darkly, his brows furrowing slightly.
“Senior Brother Tao, how do you raise these scaly dragons on a regular basis?”
He turned his head to look at the elegant scribe not far from him.
“Of course, they are raised with fresh demonic beast blood and flesh, sometimes even third grade demonic beast blood and flesh.
What, what’s wrong with this Snowline Jiao of mine?”
Tao Zhiqing said with a somewhat worried expression.
“Inside this Snowline Jiao’s body, I’ve examined a special spiritual substance that is constantly traveling within the body of the Jiao Dragon, making it difficult to absorb and digest.”
“What exactly is it, on the other hand, needs to be found and confirmed.”
Lu Xuan said solemnly.
“Then I’ll take control of this Snowline Jiao, so don’t worry about exerting your means to find out the foreign object within it, Senior Brother Lu.”
Tao Zhiqing made an immediate decision and utilized the Dragon Binding Ring Imitation Artifact to firmly bind the Snowline Jiao’s neck so that it could not move. Lu Xuan didn’t hesitate for a second either, the red thread needle was wrapped with a layer of Foundation Establishment Realm’s spiritual power, easily breaking through the Snowline Jiao’s flesh and blood.
He closed his eyes and carefully probed, when suddenly, the red thread needle inside the Snowline Jiao snapped and popped out of the Snowline Jiao’s flesh and blood with a slender black grass.
One end of the slender black grass seemed like a dragon’s head, with ten thin whisker-like black silk whiskers, constantly swimming in the air, at first glance, it was thought to be a miniature dragon that had shrunk hundreds of times.
“This is dragon skeleton grass, fifth grade spiritual plant, it is said that only around the skeleton of a true dragon can grow to maturity by chance, it is a heavenly supplement for the scaly dragon, but it has to be supplemented with other materials and processed before the scaly dragon can be raised.”
“No wonder this Dragon Skeleton Grass has been hiding inside the Snowline Jiao.”
Tao Zhiqing secretly marveled at Lu Xuan’s keen spiritual sense, he hadn’t noticed any abnormality in his daily rearing of this Snowline Jiao, and with Lu Xuan, he had just made contact with this Dragon Wreckage Grass that had yet to be fully digested.
“Hmm, half of the medicinal power is still left, washing and adding some ingredients can still be used.”
He picked up the vibrant Dragon Skeleton Grass and whispered.
“What insights does fifth grade spirit plant …… senior brother have about the origin of this Dragon Wreck Grass?” Lu Xuan asked curiously.
“Dragon Wreckage Grass usually only grows around the skeletons of true dragons, and this Snowline Jiao has been living on my island for the last ten years.”
“In other words, the Dragon Skeleton Grass was found deep in the vicinity of the island.”
Tao Zhiqing seemed to have thought of something and continued after a pause.
“I have stayed on this island for many years, and I have a profound understanding of the Thousand Dragon Lake… Master Lu is unaware that it is said that there is an ancient true dragon skeleton buried deep in the bottom of the lake, but it is only due to the influence of the forbidden system that it has not been possible to enter the depths of the bottom of the lake.”
Lu Xuan nodded, this would make it clear why traces of the Dragon Skeleton Grass appeared within the Snowline Jiao.
The Snowline Jiao loved to grow in extremely cold environments, and the prohibition only targeted cultivators, not Jiao Dragons, which was why it was able to enter the deepest depths of the most frigid lake bottom, and accidentally swallowed that Dragon Skeleton Grass.
“Why didn’t the sect salvage that true dragon skeleton?”
He asked curiously.
“It is rumored that many years ago there was a JieDan elder who attempted to salvage it, however, it was obstructed by a trace of will on the true dragon’s skeleton, and was injured quite a bit by the backlash, thus, not many people have attempted to do so since then.”
“Together with the skeleton placed at the bottom of the lake, invariably there will be a faint dragon qi escaping, which is greatly beneficial to the growth of various types of dragon pythons, and slowly formed this Thousand Dragon Lake.”
Lu Xuan nodded heavily, secretly wary as he looked towards the elegant scribe.
“Then, Senior Brother ……”
The fifth grade spirit plant, had a great attraction for pre Foundation Establishment cultivators, and although both of them were within the sect, there was no guarantee that Tao Zhiqing would rather take the risk and swallow the treasure alone.
However, Lu Xuan was confident in his heart, even with more than a dozen scaly dragons aiding him and numerous treasures in his hands, he was certain that he would be able to retreat in one piece.
“With the trace of the Dragon Skeleton Grass discovered by Senior Brother Lu, I would like to share the treasure with you, Senior Brother, but unfortunately, none of us are qualified to enter the depths of the bottom of the Thousand Dragon Lake.”
“Report it to the sect to deal with it.”
“As for how I discovered the Dragon Wreckage Grass trail, I will also report it truthfully, and I will not covet Senior Brother’s credit for you.”
The elegant scribe sighed, the surface of his storage bag flashed with spiritual light, and a puppet wooden bird appeared in front of the two.
His lips opened and closed, transmitting in a message about the Dragon Skeleton Grass, and the puppet wooden bird fluttered its wings and flew high into the air and disappeared.
“Wait, it’s about the true dragon skeleton as well as the fifth grade spirit plant, the sect will send someone to deal with it soon.”
He said helplessly towards Lu Xuan beside him.
Lu Xuan nodded indifferently, but in his heart, he was calculating whether he could enter the bottom of the Thousand Dragon Lake and see the world.
There were higher realm sect cultivators coming over here, and he didn’t have any thoughts in his mind of privately obtaining the Dragon Skeleton Grass, but more so, he mainly wanted to take a look at the mysteries at the bottom of the lake.
