Chapter 024 A Bountiful Harvest: Golden Lotus Fruit and Dragon Soul Origin!
A muffled groan rang out.
The stone python's body cracked inch by inch, shattered with a crash, and fell into the pool with a splash.
The stone python spirit, which had been dormant for a thousand years and attempted to defy the heavens and transform into a dragon by borrowing the dragon vein, had its foundation completely destroyed.
Cao Kun, holding the shrine to the River-Suppressing Dragon in his left hand, continued walking forward.
As the old saying goes.
Beat the snake to play seven inches!
Cao Kun gripped the Black Tiger Mountain-Suppressing Axe in his right hand and slashed down at the stone python's seven-inch mark.
Sure enough, he saw a bead.
Cao Kun activated his Golden Eyes, and a set of data appeared:
【Item Name: Black Python Pill】
[Item Grade: Superior Spiritual Material (Evil Elixir)]
[Item Description: This pill is the life essence of the Black Python with the evil lineage, which resides beneath the Jade Lotus Land of the Nine Dragons Covered in the Pure Yang Blessed Land. It was refined by the constant breathing of the dragon veins and nourished by the Yin water of a thousand-year-old cold pool. It contains the essence of dragons within its Yin energy and spiritual energy within its malevolent power, making it an extremely rare ancient spiritual material.]
[Item Ability:]
1. To ward off evil spirits and suppress poisons:
The eternally cold pool contains a restrained Yin energy, capable of suppressing mountain demons, wood spirits, water monsters, and wandering spirits, as well as restraining the five poisonous scaled creatures and foul miasma. It can also isolate one from Yin winds and ghostly disturbances.
2. Strengthen the foundation and cultivate vitality:
It contains the rich essence of the earth's veins and the lifelong cultivation of a python demon; when used in medicine, it can enhance one's qi and blood.
3. A ritual implement for harmonizing malevolent forces:
The inner core is yin and calming, which can neutralize the violent and malevolent power of weapons like the Xuanhu Mountain-Suppressing Axe and the Demon Bone Weapon, balance yin and yang, prevent the weapon's malevolent energy from backfiring on its owner, and solidify the foundation of weapon control.
4. Controlling water and subduing scales:
Inheriting the original power of the Water Python and the remaining might of the Reverse Dragon, the positive and negative aspects of the Locking Dragon River God Shrine complement each other, controlling water and binding the abyss, and restraining all water monsters in pools and marshes.
5. Sword Spirit Tempering: Advanced enhancement, can be directly used to temper and refine the Azure Mist Sword Spirit.
6. Refining and Enhancement:
Cultivators can use the pure Yang dragon energy to neutralize the malevolent energy within the pill, safely absorbing the dragon and python's essence, thus strengthening their cultivation foundation and advancing their Dao.
……
It’s really a good thing.
Cao Kun bent down and put the Black Python Pill into the Xuanhan Dragon Pattern Thumb Ring.
He was about to leave when suddenly the Five Rats Bringing Wealth Bodhi beads on his wrist started to glow again.
There's a treasure.
Cao Kun quickly searched around.
The malevolent aura at the bottom of the pool dissipated, revealing a golden light!
He dived into the water, and the water on both sides automatically dispersed to the sides.
Soon Cao Kun arrived at the center of the earth's vein eye.
This is where the earth's energy from the Nine Dragons converges and takes root.
Cao Kun saw a lotus flower, born of heaven and earth, taking root in the water veins.
The white lotus petals unfold layer by layer, translucent and clear.
The lotus platform, where clouds gather and energy converges, is the core of the dragon vein of this entire blessed land!
In the center hang nine fruits that look like mutton fat jade.
Cao Kun quickly went over and grabbed one of the fruits.
【Item Name: Golden Lotus Fruit】
[Item Grade: Mid-grade Spiritual Material (Dragon Vein Lotus Essence Rare Treasure)]
【Item Description: Golden Lotus Fruit, born in the core of the top-level feng shui earth eye of the Nine Dragons Covered Jade Lotus, receiving ten thousand years of nourishment from nine positive yang dragon veins, and nurtured day and night by the pure energy of the Jade Lotus Platform.
Previously shrouded in the malevolent energy of the Black Python's reversed meridians, they remained hidden for a millennium. Now, with the full opening of their righteous meridians, the nine golden lotus fruits have finally appeared in the world.
It is a naturally occurring spiritual fruit, a product of heaven, earth, mountains, and rivers.
[Item Ability:]
1. Prolong life:
For ordinary people, taking this can increase lifespan by thirty to forty years.
2. Used as a medicinal adjuvant to nourish the spirit:
It can nourish a cultivator's soul, strengthen their spiritual awareness, and assist in breaking through the barriers of their cultivation realm.
Cao Kun carefully placed all nine golden lotus fruits into the Xuanhan dragon-patterned thumb ring.
Then, he took the Dragon-Locking River-Suppressing Shrine and returned to the shore.
Wang Kaixuan was dumbfounded by what he saw.
The water naturally and automatically separates and then closes again!
It's simply unbelievable.
"Master Cao, are you the River God?"
Finally, Wang Kaixuan stammered out the question.
"Oh, because of this shrine."
Cao Kun casually remarked that the shrine possessed divine power and could part a waterway.
There was a moment like that.
Wang Kaixuan thought he was listening to Journey to the West.
The Monkey King in the story is able to cast a water-repelling spell.
Wang Kaixuan examined the Dragon-Locking and River-Suppressing Shrine in Cao Kun's hand. To be honest, he had seen quite a few of these things when he was a child.
It's similar to the shrine in a local temple.
However, Wang Kaixuan never dreamed that such a miraculous power existed.
"Thank you... thank you..."
In the void, the voice of the Dragon Vein Spirit echoed once more.
"You are welcome."
Cao Kun turned around, and he even waved his hand into the void.
Wang Kaixuan looked around, not understanding why Cao Kun would do this.
Could it be some kind of ritual?
Thinking of this, Wang Kaixuan also waved his hand.
In the sky, the spirit of the dragon vein slowly spoke: "I observe that the dragon soul within you is weak and unstable, your foundation is precarious, your dragon energy is mixed and scattered, and your dragon soul is unstable. What is the reason for this?"
Cao Kun did not hide the information he learned from the "Qinglong Town Heavenly Dao Manual".
To cultivate the Azure Dragon Technique, one needs the nourishment of pure and complete dragon energy.
Only then can the Azure Dragon's Dao Body be stabilized and the natal Dragon Soul be condensed.
Unfortunately, ever since Liu Bowen used his magic to determine the earth's veins and sever the roots of mountains...
He personally severed ninety-nine main dragon veins in the world, severing the earth's veins and the mountain ranges.
There are no more complete dragon veins in the world.
"I see."
The spirit of the dragon vein slowly nodded, its voice resounding through the void.
The spirit of the dragon vein said: "I bestow upon you a piece of my natal dragon soul to help you solidify your soul and replenish your dragon foundation. In the future, when you travel through mountains, forests, seas, shady and dangerous places, you can rely on the true source of the dragon to suppress evil spirits and prevent all evil from invading."
Upon hearing this, Cao Kun was overjoyed and quickly clasped his hands in a gesture of respect.
Immediately, the golden dragon energy in the sky surged and gathered.
The Nine Dragons Covered Jade Lotus Platform shone brightly, and the primordial power deep within the Earth's Eye slowly rose.
The spirit of the dragon vein waved its hand, and extracted a pure and flawless wisp of dragon soul essence from the core earth vein origin of the Nine Dragon Jade Lotus.
As the golden light shimmered.
That dragon soul essence transformed into a gentle stream of light and flew towards Cao Kun.
Upon witnessing this scene, Cao Kun quickly adjusted his breathing and began practicing according to the moves of the first level of the Azure Dragon Technique.
The essence of the dragon soul flowed through his limbs and bones.
Cao Kun's muscles, bones, and blood circulated continuously, nourishing his flesh and blood.
His bones cracked and popped incessantly.
It's like setting off firecrackers.
In addition, there is...
The Azure Dragon Qi within Cao Kun's body became much thicker, as wide as a ruler.
It circulates and flows within his body.
He felt a slight itch on the surface of his skin.
Cao Kun focused his mind.
He realized that golden dragon scales were appearing on his surface.
Cao Kun knew that he was about to break through.
According to the records in "Qinglong Gong".
When the first level is mastered, the skin will be covered with indestructible dragon scales.
Ordinary swords and blades cannot cause the slightest damage to the dragon's scales.
When Cao Kun opened his eyes again, he saw that the spirit of the dragon vein had already disappeared without a trace!
Cao Kun took out the golden lotus fruit from the Xuanhan dragon-patterned thumb ring.
After taking a bite, he found the fruit to be soft, sweet, and melt-in-your-mouth.
At the same time, a warm, refreshing fragrance mixed with pure dragon vein spiritual energy instantly slid down his throat and flowed into Cao Kun's limbs and bones.
The dragon soul's essence just now entered Cao Kun's body, stabilizing his foundation.
Now, the spiritual energy of the golden lotus fruit complements it.
Firstly, it strengthens the soul.
One is to increase the original amount.
Yin and Yang complement each other, and the earth's energy blends together.
Cao Kun continued to circulate the first level of the Azure Dragon Technique!
"boom!"
A moment later, Cao Kun felt hot all over.
