Chapter 4134: Dragon Essence
Chi Menghan had a seven-star aptitude, so a casual strike from her could deliver a result close to seven stars.
In any case, she knew what aptitude she had, and it was fine as long as she could pass. It was meaningless even if her results were too good.
Ling Han, on the other hand, wanted to know his own limits. Thus, he did not immediately act, but rather prepared himself.
What should he use?
The God Slaying Technique combined with the Destructive Energy was one option. However, if the Icy Killing Celestial Finger was paired with Ice Energy, it was also a good choice. Mainly, Ling Han’s present cultivation level was not high enough, so the gap between Saint
Technique and Imperial Technique could not be revealed.
Then let’s try the Icy Killing Celestial Finger. After all, it was learnt here.
Ling Han channelled the Imperial Technique, extracted Ice Energy, and boosted his hand with
it.
“He!” he exclaimed lightly, and tapped out a finger.
Pa, the ice dragon hit the rock, and immediately, multiple flashes of light flickered.
Eight flashes, no, nine flashes!
Chi Menghan’s beautiful eyes lit up. There were now eight streaks of light flickering, but the ninth streak was flickering continuously.
Hiss, this guy, when he had been in the Donglin Imperial Clan, he had only been an eight-star aptitude elite. Now, he had advanced another step further.
No, when this guy was in the Donglin Imperial Clan, he hadn’t used his full strength. Thus, he had only displayed an eight-star aptitude.
“The four of you have passed.” The old man beside them waved his hand. Among the five of them, only Song Lan had not passed the test.
On their way here, they had naturally formed a friendship. Ling Han and the others comforted Song Lan, and then the three of them and one dog continued onwards, arriving at a heavily guarded place. The guards were all True Self Tiers.
In this manner, even if the Imperial Sons did not hesitate to use the Substitution Seal to force their way in, it was probably still impossible for them to charge in.
The Transfer Formation was located here.
After Ling Han and the others entered, the Transfer Formation activated. Xiu, they arrived at another place.
This place… was indescribably beautiful.
They were in a flat area at the foot of a mountain, surrounded by lush green grass. There were still water droplets on the leaves, like celestial dew, and in the distance, white mist was rising, and white cranes could be seen dancing gracefully.
Green mountains and clear waters were a scene of peace and tranquility.
“Is this the True Dragon’s Secret Cave?” the large black dog murmured.
Chi Mengshan leaned close to her sister’s ear, and said, “Sister, this is a good opportunity. Now that the Ninth Beauty is gone, cast your charms, and get Brother-in-law as soon as possible!” “You definitely can’t go easy on him. Brother-in-law has a pseudo-nine-star aptitude, and is even more powerful than you. In the future, to say nothing of becoming a Saint, it’s even possible for him to become a Great Emperor!”
This was unlike the Imperial Clans, which had a natural curse, where it had never been heard that a Great Emperor would emerge from the Imperial Bloodline. Thus, though Ling Han came from an ordinary background, it was very possible that he would walk further than an Imperial Son or Imperial Daughter.
However, her voice wasn’t low, so not only did Chi Menghan hear her, but even Ling Han and the large black dog heard her clearly.
The large black dog chuckled, and said, “That’s right. Grandpa Dog’s brother is definitely peerless in the world. Why don’t you offer ‘buy one and get one free’? The two of you can marry over.”
These words were naturally an act of courting death. It was immediately thrashed by Chi Menghan and her sister. So what if its aptitude was pseudo seven stars? It was at a disadvantage in terms of cultivation level, and was beaten beyond recognition.
Ling Han didn’t step in to help. Who asked the large black dog to have such a toxic mouth? “Let’s look around. If this is the True Dragon’s Secret Cave, there might be treasures.”
According to legends, a considerable number of top-grade Great Herbs were related to Divine Beasts, such as Dragon Grass and Phoenix Blood Fruit. It was unknown if there were any similar Great Herbs here.
They headed towards that mountain. They had not walked too far, when they saw a drizzle begin to fall from the skies.
With how strong they were, the rain had not even started to fall, and their protective shield was naturally already stretched out, not allowing the slightest drop of water to land on their bodies.
However, what was astonishing was that this rainwater actually had a powerful penetrating ability, easily penetrating through their shields.
Ling Han hurriedly summoned the Primal Chaos Extreme Lightning Tower. This was Origin Gold, and if the rainwater could penetrate even Origin Gold, then Ling Han would really have to admit defeat.
“Little Han, this rainwater is good stuff!” The large black dog’s voice rang out.
Its defenses weren’t as strong as Ling Han’s, and it didn’t have the Primal Chaos Extreme Lightning Tower either. Thus, it had already been drenched by the rain, but it still wore an expression of enjoyment. Wisps of mist surged around its body, and it was as if it were about to ascend and become a deity.
Although the large black dog was unreliable, Ling Han naturally believed him when it came to such matters. Thus, he resolutely withdrew the Primal Chaos Extreme Lightning Tower.
Rain poured down on him, and instantly, an indescribable energy surged into his body, nourishing his body. This was an improvement in all aspects, making him feel as if he was about to be reborn.
“Dragon Essence!” Chi Menghan exclaimed shakily, an indescribable joy on her face.
“What is Dragon Essence?” Ling Han asked, as he relaxed his body, absorbing the benefits of the rainwater as much as possible.
“The essence of the dragon, of course,” Chi Menghan said. “Even if it’s other Divine Beasts that were similarly born the earliest when heaven and earth was first created, the True Dragon still possesses a supreme status, and is called the leader of the Divine Beasts.”
“Dragon Essence is the aura that the True Dragon exhales. To the True Dragon, this is only a breath of air. However, as strong as the True Dragon is, the aura that it exhales has a sliver of the essence of the dragon’s power. To us cultivators, this is a precious treasure that can help us temper our physique.”
Chi Menghan paused for a moment before continuing, “Among all the Divine Beasts, the True Dragon is the most powerful. If we can continuously cleanse ourselves with Dragon Essence, then even if we don’t reach the level of True Dragon, we will still be the strongest even among
Saints.”
Ling Han shrugged and said, “Then let’s hope that the Dragon Essence Rain here will never
stop.”
The area covered by the Dragon Essence Rain was limited, so they naturally couldn’t waste it. Thus, they took out various containers to collect.
The strange thing was that this rainwater could easily penetrate through the mystical power shield, yet could be preserved inside a vessel, even if it was only a very ordinary vessel.
The time for the rain to fall was very short, only ten minutes, but Ling Han and the others had also gathered a considerable number of pots of Dragon Essence.
However, the Dragon Essence was extremely volatile, and in the blink of an eye, the water level in the basin had dropped by more than one third.
There was nothing else that could be done. The three people and one dog hurriedly used it with all their might. They definitely could not allow it to go to waste.
A day later, no outsiders entered. Clearly, it was not easy to boast or insult others. The large black dog was extraordinarily talented in this area, and no one could compare to him. “Look, it’s raining over there!” Ling Han’s eyes were sharp, and he pointed in a direction.
Xiu, they hurriedly broke into a run and ran over.
This Dragon Essence Rain would only last for ten minutes, so there definitely couldn’t be the
slightest delay.
Thankfully, though it was a little wasteful, they had only missed it for a short while.
After learning this lesson, the three people and one dog split out. When the Dragon Essence Rain started, those who discovered it all hollered loudly, calling for the others to head over.
After three days, they had also grasped a pattern. The time when the Dragon Essence Rain fell was fixed, but the location was random.
