Chapter 2711
byThe fragrance of tea filled the pavilion, and the three people sat around the table, boiling tea and discussing the Tao, enjoying themselves happily.
The subtle flattery and praise from Li Jiao and Mi Qi made Ji Ying feel even more physically and mentally happy. He continuously waved his hand and laughed loudly.
I don’t know how long it had passed. Suddenly, a strange sound came from somewhere in the medicine garden. Although this sound was soft, the three of them were all Emperor Venerable Realm powerhouses. How could they not notice it？
Ji Ying suddenly stood up, his eyes looking towards a certain direction in a certain medicinal garden, with an excited expression on his face： “The spiritual flower is about to bloom！”
Mi Qi and Li Jiao looked at each other and also saw the excitement in each other’s eyes.
Li Jiao said： “Sure enough, Master Ji has sharp eyes. If it weren’t for Master Ji this time, I’m afraid I wouldn’t know that this spiritual flower would bloom recently.”
Mi Qi smiled and said： “Master Ji is an Emperor Dan Master and also a disciple under the seat of the Wonderful Dan Great Emperor. He knows all kinds of spiritual flowers and strange grasses in the world like the back of his hand. How can you, a rough fellow, compare? If you were really asked to take care of this spiritual flower, I’m afraid you would miss the best time for the flower to bloom and waste this precious thing in vain.”
“Yes, yes, yes.” Li Jiao nodded repeatedly. “Brother Mi Qi is right. If it weren’t for Master Ji’s reminder, such a precious spiritual medicine might really be wasted in vain. Since the spiritual flower is about to bloom, how about we go and take a look？”
“Good, good, good！” Ji Ying nodded excitedly and took the lead in striding towards that side.
Mi Qi and Li Jiao looked at each other, and their eyes met secretly. Everything was understood without words.
Soon, the three of them came to a certain place in the medicinal garden. There was only one spiritual medicine cultivated here, about one foot high, but with intertwined roots. Surprisingly, this spiritual medicine exuded a strange aura. If Zhu Qing or Yang Kai were here, they would surely be able to see at a glance that this aura was the dragon aura.
However, this dragon qi is relatively thin and not as pure as the dragon qi they two emit when driving the origin of the Dragon Race.
Even so, it is still an extremely remarkable thing. After all, this is just an elixir.
Strangely enough, not only does this elixir emit a faint dragon qi, but also from the appearance, it seems like a dragon that has been reduced countless times is coiled there. On the root and stem, pieces of tiny dragon scales are lifelike, and the dragon claws and dragon tail are all there. On the dragon’s head, a flower bud presents blood-red color is gently stretching in bud like a smart butterfly about to spread its wings and fly high.
Ji Ying is standing three zhang in front of this elixir, holding his breath and nervously watching.
Judging from his posture, it seems that he is not waiting for a spiritual flower to bloom, but waiting for the birth of a child…
Li Jiao is looking at the spiritual flower that is about to open, with a proud expression on his face, and quietly winks at Mi Qi.
Mi Qi immediately speaks up and says, “Master Ji, is this Blood Dragon Flower really so precious？”
“What do you know.” Ji Ying is fully concentrated on looking ahead. When he hears Mi Qi speak, he subconsciously reprimands s a sentence but quickly reacts that the person speaking is not the disciple who has always been by his side, but the sect of a large sect.
His tone softened slightly. He explained： “You are not alchemists, so naturally you don’t know the rarity of this Dragon Blood Flower. However, Palace Master Li has been using his essence and blood to cultivate this Dragon Blood Flower, so he must have some understanding of it.”
Li Jiao quickly said： “I’m also muddled. I don’t know in detail. I still need to ask Master Ji to solve the confusion.”
He had taken care of it carefully for hundreds of years. How could he not know? But at this moment, of course, he had to pretend not to know and satisfy the other party’s vanity.
Ji Ying nodded and said： “The Dragon Blood Flower is a specialty of Dragon Island. It is something that only exists on Dragon Island under the whole heaven. Do you think it is precious！”
Mi Qi said in horror： “There is actually such a thing.” He turned his head and looked at Li Jiao and said： “Then where did Brother Li Jiao get this Dragon Blood Flower？”
Li Jiao smiled and said： “Many years ago when I went out. I felt that this thing was a bit extraordinary, so I brought it back. But after transplanting it, I found that it gradually withered. I then tried to feed it with my essence and blood. Surprisingly, it came back to life. So these years I have been using my essence and blood to cultivate it.”
“This is really a lucky strike.” Mi Qi nodded slightly.
Ji Ying nodded and said, “Palace Master Li did the right thing. The reason why the Dragon Blood Flower is a specialty of Dragon Island is because its growth must rely on dragon blood as food！ Throughout the world, except for Dragon Island, where else are there dragons? So even if the Dragon Blood Flower appears in other places, it cannot survive. Palace Master Li has the blood of the dragon in his body. Feeding it with essence blood is exactly the right remedy.”
Li Jiao is not a pure human race, but a half-human and half-demon. It is said that he is a combination of a human and a flood dragon. Although not many people in the Northern Region know this secret, Ji Ying and Mi Qi are aware of it.
The Dragon Blood Flower needs to feed on dragon blood. Although the dragon blood in Li Jiao’s body is a little thin, it still exists. After years of careful care, this Dragon Blood Flower has really grown to the point of blooming.
“I guess that the place where Palace Master Li found this Dragon Blood Flower back then should have a fallen dragon. If not, it would be absolutely impossible for the Dragon Blood Flower to be born.” Ji Ying said in a deep voice.
Li Jiao said with admiration, “Master Ji has sharp eyes. When I found this Dragon Blood Flower back then, I indeed found a dragon skeleton there. But I don’t know how many years it has been dead, and it has long been decayed and ruined.
The skeleton of the dragon is indestructible and immortal. How could it easily decay and deteriorate? It should be because the Dragon Blood Flower absorbed the nutrients in that skeleton.”
“So that’s it！” Li Jiao nodded continuously like an ignorant child.
Ji Ying said excitedly, “With the Dragon Blood Flower, we can refine the Dragon Blood Pill, and this thing is of great use to Palace Master Li.”
“What do you mean by that？” Li Jiao tried hard to suppress the excitement in his heart and asked humbly.”
Ji Ying smiled slightly and said, “On the Dragon Island, the main purpose for the dragon clan disciples to devour the Dragon Blood Flower is to temper their bloodlines and purify the power of their bloodlines. You should also have heard that the bloodlines of the dragon clan are divided into different grades, and the high-level bloodlines have a suppressing force on the low-level bloodlines. So even if the strengths of two dragon clan members are similar, if the gap in bloodlines is too large, the one with the low bloodline will have no power to resist in the face of the one with the high bloodline.”
Mi Qi and Li Jiao both nodded slightly.
They naturally knew about this matter.
The disciples of the dragon clan are born powerful and can easily cultivate to the level of Emperor Venerable Realm. Even without much effort, they can also have combat power comparable to that of the third level of Emperor Venerable Realm. Their daily cultivation takes purifying and tempering the power of their bloodlines as the main goal. The purer the bloodline and the higher the grade, the stronger the strength！ The current Great Elder of the dragon clan is said to be an eighth-order Azure Dragon, and his strength is comparable to that of the Great Emperor. And above that, there are even the legendary ninth-order and tenth-order bloodlines！ The Dragon Blood Flower can be said to be the most important thing for them.”
Li Jiao said excitedly, “Does Master Ji mean that I can also…”
“That’s right！” Ji Ying nodded. “Although the dragon bloodline in Palace Master Li’s body is a bit weak, it can indeed be enhanced by swallowing the Dragon Blood Flower. Of course, if it can be refined into a Dragon Blood Pill, the effect will be even better.”
Li Jiao’s breathing suddenly became rapid. Although he had already secretly inquired about this news, after it was confirmed by Ji Ying, he still felt that his efforts over the past few hundred years had not been in vain.
He had obtained this Dragon Blood Flower as early as a few hundred years ago and had been nurturing it with his own essence and blood for so many years, resulting in his strength remaining stagnant for so many years. Although both he and Mi Qi were at the Third Level of the Emperor Venerable Realm, if they really fought, he would definitely not be Mi Qi’s opponent.
However, it was different now. If he could take this Dragon Blood Flower and refine it, his strength would surely surpass Mi Qi’s in one fell swoop.
“It’s just a pity…” Ji Ying’s tone changed, and his brows furrowed slightly.
“What’s the pity？” Li Jiao’s heart was in turmoil, fearing to hear bad news from Ji Ying’s mouth.
Ji Ying smiled and said, “Palace Master Li doesn’t need to be nervous. I just want to say that the dragon bloodline is divided into different grades, and this Dragon Blood Flower is also divided into different grades. Even if the Dragon Blood Flower in front of us really blooms, I’m afraid it will only be the lowest grade of Dragon Blood Flower.”
Such a Dragon Blood Flower would probably not be looked at by any dragon on Dragon Island, but in this Medicine Garden, it was already the most precious thing.
Just because it was rare and hard to come by.
It was precisely because of this Dragon Blood Flower that Ji Ying remained in Li Palace. Otherwise, he would definitely have gone to Ice Heart Valley and Ling Xiao Palace in person to collect those many spiritual medicines. He wanted to stay and witness the moment when the Dragon Blood Flower bloomed. This was also a rare opportunity for an alchemist.
Although Ji Ying had studied alchemy beside Wonderful Pill Great Emperor for so many years, the Dragon Blood Flower was something he had seen for the first time. As an Imperial Alchemist, when facing a spiritual flower he had seen for the first time, he was naturally eager to have it.
Mi Qi said at the side, “Master Ji, aside from having a wonderful effect on Brother Li, doesn’t the Dragon Blood Pill have any use for human warriors？”
Ji Ying smiled slightly and said, “How could it be useless? It can improve strength, purify cultivation, and strengthen the physical body. The Dragon Blood Pill has countless wonderful uses.”
After a pause, he said, “Palace Master Li, if you trust me, after this Dragon Blood Flower blooms, can you give it to me to refine？”
When Li Jiao heard this, he was overjoyed and said, “That’s exactly what I meant. It would be best if Master Ji can help.”
He was extremely happy in his heart. Although he was the master of Li Palace, even with his status it was not an easy matter to ask Ji Ying to refine pills. He had also gone to Medicine Pill Valley to ask for pills several times before. Which time didn’t pay a huge price and wait for a long time?
But this time, Ji Ying actually took the initiative to propose it and didn’t ask for any reward.
It seemed that the Dragon Blood Flower also had a huge attraction for Ji Ying.
“I wonder how many pills can be refined if Master Ji it?” Li Jiao asked was very cautious.
Ji Ying’s expression was solemn as he said, “I dare not say, but three pills are definitely no problem.”
Youdaoplaceholder0 when others came to him to make pills, not only would he charge a fee but he would also keep one-third of the refined pills. This was his rule.
That’s why Li Jiao asked Ji Ying how many pills could be refined. Now that he heard it was three pills, he was also overjoyed. If so, then he could at least get two Dragon Blood Pills, which would be of great help in improving his strength！
“Congratulations, Brother Li, congratulations, Brother Li！” Mi Qi clasped his fists and congratulated beside him, but there was a bit of an uncomfortable feeling in his heart.
