Chapter 487: Chapter 488 Dragon Playing in the Sea
“Senior Brother, your Golden Scale Peak is quite something! But even if you want to become a dragon, you don’t need to raise so many snakes! Otherwise, people might mistake it for Poison Snake Peak!”
Atop a towering peak, Zhong Lin looked speechlessly at the various snake monsters that flashed by in the mountain forest.
Disciples of the Heavenly Sword Sacred Land become true disciples by getting assigned a peak, establishing a foundation thereafter.
Sword Pavilion disciples are no exception. Although they usually prefer to stay in the Sword Pavilion, they also have their own peaks.
The second senior brother Chi Zhonglin’s mountain is called Golden Scale Peak. His name perfectly fits the phrase “The golden scales are not ordinary things,” but perhaps Chi Zhonglin really got a bit enchanted—raising a large number of snake monsters on the mountain, making the entire mountain range filled with a chilly atmosphere.
Chi Zhonglin gave Zhong Lin a sidelong glance and said, “Do you really think I’m that unreliable? Come, let me show you something interesting.”
He then pulled Zhong Lin towards the back mountain and flew off.
In a field at the back mountain, dozens of servants were coming and going. Each servant was holding some snake monsters, going to the medicine field to slaughter them, directly sprinkling the snake blood into the field.
These snake monsters were at least as thick as an arm at the smallest, and the larger ones were as thick as a water tank. They twisted madly as their fate was to be slaughtered, but the servants were all accomplished in cultivation, some even having achieved the level of outer disciples, making resistance futile as they were easily killed, and the snake blood dyed the land crimson like water.
In this crimson medicine field, several stalks of grass, as white as jade, were growing robustly. These small grasses had roots deeply entrenched into the ground, absorbing the snake blood and transporting it to the leaves. You could even vaguely see blood-colored veins like human meridians on the leaves, although they quickly faded.
Seeing the arrival of Chi Zhonglin and Zhong Lin, the busy servants hurriedly put down what they were doing and bowed in salute.
Chi Zhonglin waved his hand, signaling them to continue their work, and turned to say something to Zhong Lin. But Zhong Lin accelerated directly to the front of those few grasses, lowered his head, and carefully observed.
“White Jade Dragon Blood Grass, it really is White Jade Dragon Blood Grass. Second Senior Brother, where did you get it?” Zhong Lin exclaimed in surprise.
Chi Zhonglin replied proudly, “I see you know your stuff. I’ve worked so hard to transplant these from a secret realm, and I almost turned the whole Golden Scale Peak into Poison Snake Peak to provide a growth environment for these little things. So, how did I do?”
“Wonderful, absolutely wonderful. Senior Brother, you’re a genius for thinking of nurturing the White Jade Dragon Blood Grass with snake blood.”
Zhong Lin gave a thumbs-up, not stingy with his praise.
White Jade Dragon Blood Grass is an extremely top-tier spiritual medicine, crucially requiring dragon blood to provide nutrition. But where in the world is there any dragon now? Therefore, this spiritual medicine has long vanished in the river of time.
Unexpectedly, Chi Zhonglin managed to cultivate several stalks and had the unique idea of using snake blood.
Snakes are considered dragon kind, containing a trace amount of dragon blood. Although thin, the quantity makes up for it. Just by looking at the crimson medicine field before him, one could tell that Chi Zhonglin spared no effort.
“I’ve been nurturing this White Jade Dragon Blood Grass for two hundred years. It’s about to mature. Junior Brother, you’re an Eighth-grade Alchemist; what kind of elixir do you think it’s suitable for refining? I don’t trust leaving it to anyone else.”
Zhong Lin stroked his chin, pondering for a while, and said, “Second Senior Brother, are you cultivating the Dragon Playing in the Sea Diagram?”
“Yes.”
Dragon Playing in the Sea is the Dragon Dao in the Shape and Spirit Boxing Skill. When mastered to a high degree, one can transform into a dragon, churning up the seas, with an inch of water stirring up thousands of waves, achieving great results with minimal effort, creating immense damage with tiny power.
This is the Dragon Playing in the Sea!
Moreover, cultivating this diagram can enhance the water attribute spiritual body, even creating a “Flowing Water Body” if opportunities are favorable, which is a type of water attribute spiritual body.
This is the wonder of the Shape and Spirit Boxing Skill, not only capable of transforming the physical body but also reconstructing the spiritual body postnatally.
Chi Zhonglin always called himself “The golden scales are not ordinary things; when encountering wind and cloud, they transform into a dragon.” After Zhong Lin contributed the Shape and Spirit Boxing Skill, he immediately set his sights on the “Dragon Dao,” dreaming that one day he could master it and transform into a dragon, roaming the seas.
“How’s your current cultivation?”
Chi Zhonglin replied somewhat sadly, “I have some understanding but haven’t been able to start, which is why I’ve been eyeing these White Jade Dragon Blood Grass, hoping they can help me enter the path.”
“The first step of Dragon Playing in the Sea emphasizes ’momentum,’ embodying the momentum of the dragon, imposing and majestic, seeming might to deceive reality, then using it to induce Dragon Power, borrowing the false to cultivate the true,” Zhong Lin explained.
Unlike Golden Crow Patrols the Sky, which begins with physical refinement and endless strengthening from the first step, culminating in perfection.
Dragon Playing in the Sea requires first comprehending ’momentum’ before starting physical refinement once a basic grasp is achieved.
Therefore, compared to Golden Crow Patrols the Sky, the difficulty of cultivating Dragon Playing in the Sea grows exponentially.
If there were Dragon Blood Essence left by the Undying Evil Emperor, it would be somewhat easier, as one could use the essence blood to comprehend the dragon’s momentum. Unfortunately, the last drop was used by Zhong Lin, making Chi Zhonglin’s cultivation even more challenging.
Chi Zhonglin shook his head, “There hasn’t been a dragon in Qingyuan World for tens of thousands of years, only dragon beasts with faint dragon veins remain. Trying to perceive the dragon’s momentum through them… it’s too difficult, so I had no choice but to turn to these White Jade Dragon Blood Grass. Junior Brother, is there really no way?”
“Wait, let me think.”
Zhong Lin furrowed his brows, contemplating feasible solutions in his mind. If he himself mastered Dragon Playing in the Sea, it would be one method. After all, upon mastering it, he could transform into a dragon, allowing Chi Zhonglin to observe closely.
However, Dragon Playing in the Sea is extremely difficult to cultivate, similar to Golden Crow Patrols the Sky. Without sufficient cultivation to support it, it cannot be performed, at least not at present.
But…
Zhong Lin suddenly looked up at Chi Zhonglin, “Second Senior Brother, have you ever heard of the Dragon God Pill?”
“Dragon God Pill?”
“The Dragon God Pill is of the eighth rank, refined by the Ancient Heavenly Dragon for small dragons to cleanse and refine. It’s said this pill is made from the Ancient Heavenly Dragon’s own essence blood, combined with thousands of spiritual medicines. If you had this pill, Senior Brother, you could understand the dragon’s momentum or possibly directly cultivate Dragon Playing in the Sea, transforming into a dragon,” Zhong Lin explained.
Chi Zhonglin’s eyes lit up with surprise, “Do you know how to make it?”
“Yes, I have the elixir recipe for the Dragon God Pill. Previously, due to the lack of Heavenly Dragon Essence Blood, as a chef without rice, it was impossible to proceed. But now, with these White Jade Dragon Blood Grass, we can try it, although…”
“Although what?”
“To refine the Dragon God Pill, while Heavenly Dragon Essence Blood is the main ingredient, auxiliary medicines are extremely rare and precious, requiring you to collect them, Senior Brother.”
