Chapter 427: Chapter 429: Adult Azure Dragon
“Do you recognize this object?” asked Old Official Zhou Qiu.
“I don’t know what it is either,” Zhu Minglang replied.
There are some things that Zhou Qiu is better off not knowing too clearly.
Zhu Minglang felt that telling him the truth would actually harm him.
Zhou Qiu nodded, he didn’t want to know what it was either, as long as Zhu Minglang was willing to take it away, that was the greatest help to him.
Yellow Leaf City could no longer withstand such devastation.
“Then could you accept it? With your realm, it might be of help to you in the future,” Zhou Qiu said.
“An item sought by the Yan Clan…” Zhu Minglang showed a hint of hesitation.
“Don’t worry, my benefactor, I have no intention of harming you. Now, only I know that it’s hidden here, and only I know that I am giving it to you. Even if the Yan Clan asks about it in the future, I will never speak of it. You have saved us; how could I let you fall into trouble again?” Zhou Qiu said.
Zhu Minglang nodded and took the White Phoenix Tail Blossom.
Seeing that Zhu Minglang had finally agreed, Zhou Qiu let out a long sigh of relief.
Because of this object, he could not sleep well at night, worrying that one day the Yan Clan would come to Yellow Leaf City and turn it upside down. With their cruel methods, who knows how many people would be harmed before they stop.
Now that the object was finally sent away, Zhou Qiu felt much more at ease in his heart.
…
After resting for a day, on the third day, the group headed to the lair of the Lizard Water Monster.
In the lair of the Lizard Water Monster, the number of remaining lizards was actually not that high, mainly the stronger Red-Necked Lizards.
For the Little Black Dragon who had reached the growth period, it no longer made sense to use these little lizards for training, so Zhu Minglang simply acted as an elder and teacher, accompanying his fellow students for a visit.
They successfully eradicated the remaining Lizard Water Monsters and believed that Yellow Leaf City would not suffer such monster attacks for the next four or five years.
On the way back, Zhu Minglang also kept studying the White Phoenix Tail Blossom.
The more he explored, the more astonishing it became.
The White Phoenix, for all anyone knew, was a holy spirit of countless millennia, and its tail blossom had absorbed the essence of heaven, earth, and the cycles of the sun and moon. The energy contained within surpassed the Moonlight Stone once given to Zhu Minglang by Meng Bingci.
That was a Moonlight Stone worth three million gold, but when compared to the White Phoenix Tail Blossom, it paled significantly.
He truly had stumbled upon a treasure! A small place like Yellow Leaf City actually held such a marvelous treasure; perhaps it was because of the moral deeds he had been accruing over the years that finally moved the heavens, intentionally granting him this gift from the celestial messenger of the White Phoenix!
He should continue to perform acts of chivalry in the future. Had he not stepped in during the crisis at Yellow Leaf City, the White Phoenix Tail Blossom would have remained hidden forever in that cellar, or worse, fallen into the hands of some villain…
Back at the Dragon Taming High Court, Zhu Minglang stored the White Phoenix Tail Blossom in a box that isolated energy.
The essence and energy inside were immense and were compatible with Bai Qi’s attributes, so keeping it for Bai Qi definitely wouldn’t pose any problems.
Such a high-level spiritual object could surely be reserved for Bai Qi’s transition from the adult phase to the complete period, assisting it to break through to the Dragon King Realm.
“`
So, as long as Little White Bai Qi successfully completes the Reincarnation Transformation, the White Dragon Dragon King is practically reserved!
…
Back at the academy, Zhu Minglang turned in his assignment and received one thousand academic credits.
Zhu Minglang exchanged for some dragon species Soul Beads, using them to help Little Wild Jiao shed its mortal coil and mundane bones.
Little Wild Jiao performed very well this time, killing a total of four Lizard Water Monsters. Although the last three were with the assistance of those sturdy folk, it still counted as defending the residents of Yellow Leaf City.
Unfortunately, Little Wild Jiao is still too young and can’t nourish itself within the Spirit Realm—otherwise, it would’ve quickly undergone a transformation.
With more cultivation, Zhu Minglang could allow Little Glow Spirit to bestow Spiritual Energy, turning Little Wild Jiao into a small spiritual dragon and bringing it another step closer to becoming a real dragon.
Right now, Little Glow Spirit has an even more important task, which is to help Little Qingzhuo advance to its mature stage!
The mature stage of the Azure Phoenix Azure Dragon is very important, and Zhu Minglang didn’t want to see any failure, so he specifically spent a great deal to purchase Spirit Egg Stones.
Spirit Egg Stones possess Spiritual Energy. The academy has a cultivation platform built from Spirit Egg Stones, where cultivating yields twice the result with half the effort.
However, after Little Glow Spirit completely drained a small Holy Pool by the sea last time, Zhu Minglang dared not create any more trouble randomly.
It’s better to honestly spend money and buy the stones, allowing Little Glow Spirit to absorb these high-quality Spirit Egg Stones and then refine them.
Little Glow Spirit doesn’t eat anything; its only designated food is the Spirit Vein Aura. The energy contained within Spirit Egg Stones is actually quite limited compared to a real Spirit Vein, and by far less powerful. Fortunately, Zhu Minglang had some savings, and by purchasing in large amounts, it could roughly match a small Spirit Vein…
After absorbing all the Spirit Egg Stones, Little Glow Spirit was like a little spirit drunk on ale, occasionally letting out a cute, satiated belch while Zhu Minglang stroked its fluffy fur!
Blue fur contained massive Spiritual Energy, feeling like touching electric down, with tingling in the fingers.
“Good, it’s up to you to breakthrough to maturity!” Zhu Minglang said.
Little Glow Spirit was excited. Its two favorite things to do were first, to absorb the surrounding heaven and earth’s Spiritual Rhyme, and second, to bestow it upon a person or dragon it liked.
It really liked Little Qingzhuo. Whenever Little Qingzhuo practiced hovering still against the wind high in the sky, it would lie on Little Qingzhuo’s head to absorb the high-altitude wind spirits. Unfortunately, high-altitude wind spirits couldn’t be stored well, or it would have had one more elemental energy to bestow upon others.
“Bo-Bo~~”
Little Glow Spirit’s fur spread out in a static state, with its azure fluff like strands of electric stamens emitting a dazzlingly sacred glow!
For a moment, the air seemed filled with fine and dense threads of electricity, making one’s entire skin tingle, yet also as if submerged in a hot spring that relaxes muscles and bones…
“Little Qingzhuo, quick!” Zhu Minglang said to the Azure Phoenix Azure Dragon.
The feathers on the body of the Azure Phoenix Azure Dragon stood up slightly, with its intricate phoenix patterns absorbing the luminous Spiritual Silk. The Spiritual Silk flowed into its plumage, rendering each feather a radiant azure blue.
Each feather gleamed as if absorbing the fierce sun, creating a dense halo of holy light that enveloped Little Qingzhuo’s body. Subsequently, Little Qingzhuo underwent a metamorphosis within this holy light, slowly shedding its old self, with new, sacred feathers growing from its skin, and its neck fringe flying about regally, just like a true Azure Phoenix!
Zhu Minglang was also just trying it out, seeing if the Spiritual Energy gifted by Little Glow Spirit could really help a dragon pet break through. Seeing Little Qingzhuo transforming and growing towards maturity filled his face with joy!
It worked!!
The Azure Phoenix Azure Dragon advanced from its growth stage to its mature stage!
Its Cultivation Base was soaring, and it easily crossed over the Monarch Level, now approaching the Middle-level Monarch Level!!
