Chapter 619 9: Eating Dragon Meat, Drinking Dragon Blood, and Dividing the Spoils

The bright-eyed girl came from the Dark Yin Sect, lacking neither money nor Secret Techniques, all for a single curiosity within the dragon pool.

The poison fog grew thicker.

These mountain spirits and monsters seemed to possess human-like intelligence, joining forces to form a poison fog, as if planning to first drive away these humans and then engage in battle.

A tiger's roar echoed.

Lu Shanjun returned at this moment, and upon seeing the overwhelming poison gas, his face slightly changed. His figure was like a tiger leaping across a stream, landing and seeing the youth rifling through corpses, he breathed a sigh of relief and said, "Quickly leave!"

"The poison fog here is quickly turning into lethal poison!"

Monsters follow their own path.

Monsters who don't know how to adapt or have no tricks have long since died off, while those who survive grow increasingly cunning. After rumors circulated about the fox's den being wiped out, all the fox spirits throughout the Divine Land became prudent.

They no longer sought out chivalrous Jianghu people, but sought out those down-and-out scholars.

While these Jianghu people competed for treasures in the dragon pool, the youth was content to search their bodies, equally gaining something; none returned empty-handed.

If the youth's agility qinggong were better, he might have joined them down there himself.

But wandering the Jianghu without good agility means certain places are off-limits; it's easy to jump off a cliff, but difficult to climb back up.

Lu Shanjun carried a large chunk of dragon meat, making Fu Jianhan nearby almost drool.

He had grown up yet never tasted dragon meat.

A graceful figure swept through the sky, the elegantly dressed woman reappeared, saluting Lu Shanjun and nodding to the handsome youth. The bright-eyed girl quickly followed, unable to resist glancing back at the young man before leaving.

The master said if they could recruit him into the Dark Yin Palace, first let the youth assist her in breaking through the realm.

Legend has it that the Yellow Emperor's female teacher of sexual knowledge.

Though distant in time, some events difficult to trace, more still falsely attributed by later generations, but the nine techniques of the Yellow Emperor's palace, the great technique of the virgins, indeed have primary and secondary distinctions. Nowadays, with no figures like the Yellow Emperor, naturally, others assist them in breaking through.

The Yellow Emperor commanded three thousand women, riding a dragon to ascend.

Looking over the entire world, forget commanding three thousand women, to assist several Dark Yin Sect members in breaking through to innate, without being drained dry itself, is already a top Jianghu character.

This youth is still tender, his foundation shallow, there's no need to rush.

Humans and monster types can't coexist for long.

Lu Shanjun has a good relationship with the young man, but eventually, there will be parting on the Jianghu, with Lu Shanjun's carefree and broad-minded nature, he might just up and leave one day, and then she can step forward with both grace and might to recruit the young man.

But who knows if it's just her illusion; the youth had grown in skill these few days, the external horizontal kung fu's Inner Strength had transformed into True Qi coursing through his body.

If this were a martial artist in ordinary circumstances, it would take at least two to thirty years of bitter practice, being diligent morning, noon, and night to transform Inner Strength into True Qi.

"Perhaps Lu Shanjun gave him some heavenly treasures," the elegantly dressed woman speculated privately.

Lu Shanjun possesses exotic fruit, a hybrid of vermillion fruit, consuming it equates to ten years of arduous training.

The youth may have consumed several, which isn't surprising.

At this time, the handsome youth's agility seemed to have advanced as well, his grass-leaping transformed into true grass-leaping, toes touching grass leaves, soaring dozens of feet in an instant, already not inferior to second-rate Jianghu masters, his qinggong more skillful than Fu Jianhan's by a few degrees.

Duncan glanced at the projection page, finding his Inner Strength bar shortened by two-thirds, turning into a faint golden line, transformed from 'Inner Strength' into 'True Qi'.

The meridians where Inner Strength coursed through his body now somewhat emptied, from the Dantian arising, surging forth more condensed True Qi.

Having True Qi places one as a master within the Jianghu.

Others' two to thirty years of hard training accomplished by the youth within days, even removing the foundation of the human form, Lu Shanjun's gifted hybrid vermillion fruit, it's worth about ten years of other's diligent training.

"This young brother is truly astounding, his True Qi grows so rapidly."

"If acquiring a superior Inner Strength Dharma Gate..."

"He might just directly fly into the heavens!"

Lu Shanjun was secretly astonished, even harboring thoughts of competition, but not now, rather on the day both enter the path.

Fu Jianhan gazed at the dragon meat, nearly drooling, but after jumping up the cliff, he bid farewell and left.

It's just dragon meat.

If he enters the path one day, he can simply slay a dragon himself.

The youth was about to call out to detain, but Fu Jianhan had already gathered qi and flew, spanning dozens of feet. The youth clasped his hands, saying, "Brother Fu, hold your step."

Fu Jianhan took up the wine jug, took a great swig, quenching his hunger, laughed heartily, "Fate will bring us together once more."

"Farewell!"

Upon finishing, his figure already descended to the foot of the mountain.

The youth couldn't help but sigh, Lu Shanjun observed his expression and asked, "Is it because this person helped you previously and you've yet to return the favor?"

If not for Fu Jianhan's intervention, the youth might not have endured even a few moves under Lady Jade Face.

The youth nodded, replied indifferently, "I dislike owing favors."

Lu Shanjun applauded, "I'm the same."

The two have similar temperaments; Fu Jianhan comes and goes as he pleases, true to the nature of a wanderer, failing even to stay for a meal of dragon meat.

Lu Shanjun gazed afar at the individual, praising, "This person's Sword Heart Clarity."

"Possesses a sincere heart."

"He may well become an esteemed figure someday."

The youth nodded.

They descended the mountain and left, as the dragon had already fled, there was no need to concern themselves with the snakes, insects, and rodents here anymore. There were no great opportunities, another emerging dragon must wait a century or more.

The youth displayed culinary skills, brewing a pot of dragon meat at the foot of the mountain, joyously feasting with Lu Shanjun.

This was Lu Shanjun's trophy, had the youth acquired it, he would have sent some to Fu Jianhan, thus repaying the favor of assistance.

But one must not squander others' generosity; the heavenly treasures fought for with life, if given away, it's Lu Shanjun's favor, urging with words, the youth inviting others also splits his own share of dragon meat and blood.

Fu Jianhan knew this reason and departed directly.

Born a beggar, he possessed an indomitable spirit.

The black dragon fled into the great river and streams, yet not dead, its flesh and scales seized by the masses, either consumed or refined, reflecting the turbulent world.

Eating dragon meat, drinking dragon blood, refining True Yuan.

The great river flowed eastward.

In the depths of that great river, only a battered black dragon remained, feebly alive, with Secret Technique hiding within riverbed silt somewhere, resembling a large black earthworm.

Its dragon transformation failed, unable to ride the flood peak into the sea, yet it had not died, merely surviving in a crippled state.

"Those who robbed me of flesh and scales today, this revenge shall be had!"

Since this realm cannot contain its transformation, it can only enter the demonic path, gathering the karma of sins and obstacles, using this to stealthily cross the dragon gate, becoming a worldly evil dragon.

Practicing the correct path, holding righteous methods, heaven may not hold a place for you.

But practicing the demonic path, refining evil techniques, whether stealing, robbing, or seizing, disregarding rules brings more opportunities.

The black dragon opened its mouth, crushing half a dragon pearl, swallowing it whole, the surrounding aura gradually turned to death; after some unknown duration, a pair of massive dragon eyes opened, as if melting, dark as an abyss.

Blood pollution pervaded the riverbed.

All surrounding fish and shrimp were poisoned to death, the black dragon shed its dragon skin and scales, resembling a loach, directly burrowed into the aura convergence of the river's poison portal; its body now frail, but once survived this ordeal, would be the start of stealthily crossing the dragon gate, forming a half-dragon half-drake body.

In the future, when the True Dragon emerges, it will have the chance to seize its fortune.
