Chapter 823 - 636’s trade with the Dragon Clan, two Nine Heavens Dragon Transformation Pills

Chapter 823: 636’s trade with the Dragon Clan, two Nine Heavens Dragon Transformation Pills

But the Dragon Gate only opens once every thousand years, and not every aquatic creature has the opportunity to leap through the Dragon Gate and enter the Dragon Transformation Pool to metamorphose into a True Dragon.

However, the Nine Heavens Dragon Transformation Pill is different, for upon consumption, one can transform into a True Dragon. The effect sounds even more powerful than leaping through the Dragon Gate.

If that is indeed the case, then the Nine Heavens Dragon Transformation Pill could even be used in conjunction with the Dragon Transformation Pool to maximize its medicinal effect.

Fearing that the East Sea Dragon King might be skeptical, Jiang Chen’s consciousness entered the Thunder Pool. He first extracted a drop of the deepest purple Thunder Tribulation Liquid, then drew out over a hundred strands of Innate Dragon Energy from within the pool.

The so-called Innate Dragon Energy is a unique force found only within the Thunder Pool, originating from the various Dragon Dimensions deep in the void. The Dragon Energy, once reaching the Thunder Pool and being baptized by the Heavenly Thunder Tribulation, gradually fuses and undergoes a qualitative change to form this special Dragon Energy, which Jiang Chen calls the Innate Dragon Energy.

After obtaining these two treasures, Jiang Chen immediately brought them to the outside world, to the Ancient Thunder Swamp. In an instant, countless Innate Thunders burst forth, rushing towards the two treasures and engulfing them.

And Jiang Chen, unconcerned, carried them downwards through the depths of the Thunder Marsh, passing the Sea of Destruction, reaching the Sea of Creation, and then left the swamp for the outside world.

By this time, after undergoing the tempering of layer upon layer of Innate Thunder, the Thunder Tribulation Liquid and the Innate Dragon Energy had completely merged into one, turning into a purple pill surrounded by Innate Dragon Energy, and emanating mysterious thunderous light.

This pill is the Nine Heavens Dragon Transformation Pill, created by the force of Heaven and Earth’s creation, truly deserving of being called an Innate God Pill.

Jiang Chen’s alchemy skills had become increasingly sophisticated, directly entering the supreme realm of alchemy where he could use all things as a furnace and create pills with a mere thought.

"Senior, please look!"

He took out the freshly refined Nine Heavens Dragon Transformation Pill and placed it in front of the East Sea Dragon King for verification of the pill’s medicinal effect, whether it was as he described.

Although the pill Jiang Chen had crafted seemed to be done in haste, when it came to medicinal effectiveness there were no issues—indeed, it was even better than what Jiang Chen had described; after all, the pill had been refined by the baptism of the Thunder Marsh, making it all the more extraordinary with Innate Dao Rhyme permeating it.

"Divine Pill! Truly a peerless divine pill!" Holding the Nine Heavens Dragon Transformation Pill in hand, the eyes of the East Sea Dragon King gleamed brightly.

Though he was not an alchemist himself, he had the ability to examine pills, and at a glance he could see that the pill was truly as Jiang Chen had said, capable of helping aquatic creatures to transform into True Dragons.

"I can agree to the Emperor Lord’s request, but I have one condition—that is for the Dragon Clan to obtain the pill recipe for the Nine Heavens Dragon Transformation Pill."

"As long as the Emperor Lord agrees to this condition, I will immediately head to the easternmost lands to plan for this matter, and obtain the Pangu Axe Fragment from the hands of our dragon predecessors for the Emperor Lord."

After confirming the medicinal effect of the Nine Heavens Dragon Transformation Pill, the East Sea Dragon King immediately agreed to Jiang Chen’s request. However, he had one condition: that Jiang Chen hand over the pill recipe for the Nine Heavens Dragon Transformation Pill.

The East Sea Dragon King’s reasoning was simple—the number of Pangu Axe Fragments was finite; even if they emptied the entire Dragon Clan, how many could they possibly find? Several dozens, or hundreds?

Several dozens or hundreds might sound like a lot, but that could only be exchanged for as many Nine Heavens Dragon Transformation Pills. And how many aquatic creatures were there? Tens of billions, at least; what use would those few pills be?

Eventually, the Pangu Axe Fragments would run out, and without the fragments, how would the Dragon Clan obtain more Nine Heavens Dragon Transformation Pills? Thinking ahead, it was natural to want to have the pill recipe in their possession.

In this way, even if Jiang Chen no longer provided the Nine Heavens Dragon Transformation Pills to the Dragon Clan in the future, the Dragon Pearl could be refined on their own.

For a treasure tied to their clan’s fate, it was always best to keep it within their own control and not depend on outsiders, especially not someone like Jiang Chen, who could so easily exploit their reliance.

"Very well, as the senior has said, once the matter is completed, I will present the pill recipe for the Nine Heavens Dragon Transformation Pill with both hands."

The East Sea Dragon King’s concerns were crystal clear to Jiang Chen, so he agreed to the conditions without any hesitation.

Joking aside, the two main ingredients for refining the Nine Heavens Dragon Transformation Pill were his unique possessions. Even if he shared the pill formula with the Dragon Clan, what use would it be? Without the main medicine, they could have the formula but still be unable to concoct it.

In the end, they still needed to rely on Jiang Chen.

"This..."

Jiang Chen’s ready agreement made the East Sea Dragon King feel surprised and vaguely sense that something was amiss, yet he could not pin down what exactly was wrong.

"Senior, this Nine Heavens Dragon Transformation Pill is a gift from me, consider it a token of my sincerity. You can take it to the easternmost lands and show it to the senior members of the Dragon Clan to persuade them to agree to my request."

"If this matter succeeds, Jiang Chen will be sure to express significant gratitude another day."

Without giving the East Sea Dragon King time to think, Jiang Chen spoke up again, urging him to set out as soon as possible to the easternmost lands and accomplish this task for him.

At the same time, Jiang Chen was contemplating what kind of gratitude gift to prepare for the East Sea Dragon King to express his thanks. Asking for help without offering a gift was not Jiang Chen’s style.

"It seems the Emperor Lord is in a hurry, so this King will not delay. Once the turmoil of the fierce beasts is settled, this King will depart for the easternmost lands to meet with Father King, and help the Emperor Lord achieve this matter," said the East Sea Dragon King, promising quickly upon seeing Jiang Chen’s urgency.

While fragments of the Pangu Axe were indeed precious, in essence, they were merely for show and completely useless. Using a worthless treasure to exchange for the beneficial Nine Heavens Dragon Transformation Pill seemed to the East Sea Dragon King a worthy trade. The old seniors from the easternmost lands would have no reason to refuse.

Otherwise, what were they doing with those Pangu Axe fragments, after all? They couldn’t eat them or refine them; were they waiting for them to breed?

Father King!

The father of the East Sea Dragon King, Jiang Chen knew, was the current Dragon Emperor of the Dragon Clan, as well as the leader of this generation’s aquatic races. He commanded the aquatic races of the Four Seas and was the undisputed overlord of the waters.

His lineage was also noble, being the direct grandson of Ancestral Dragon, and his strength was extremely formidable. In the Distant Ancient Era, he had already reached the level of Quasi-Saint and now secluded himself in the easternmost lands, engaged in arduous cultivation behind closed doors.

"Fierce beast turmoil, you say?"

"Haha, Dragon King, there’s no need for concern, just watch my methods."

Upon hearing the East Sea Dragon King say he would set out after the turmoil of the fierce beasts had been quelled, Jiang Chen laughed heartily and suddenly dashed towards the seabed, intending to quell the chaos of the fierce beasts with his own might.

Below the expanse of the sea, a vast abyssal rift emerged, whose width spanned countless miles and length stretched beyond measure—a behemoth whose end could not be seen. Its depth was unfathomable, shrouded with endless Sha Qi, and even more terrifying aura rose from its depths.

This was the Abyss of the Eastern Sea, one of the major strongholds of the fierce beasts, home to an unknown number of powerful creatures. Even the weakest amongst them had power comparable to a Golden Immortal, and the strongest could even match Great Divine Transcendents.

They were born before the Great Ancient times, as the earliest fierce beasts, truly inheriting the bloodline and Sha Qi of the Chaos Demigods. From their birth, they possessed the power to destroy heaven and earth, along with an immortal and indestructible nature.

However, these primal fierce beasts, although mighty, were severely wounded in succession by the Ancestral Dragon and Empress Nuwa, nearly wiped out. Having suffered grievous injuries, they have yet to recover to this day and still lie dormant.

It would not be until the next Heavenly Earth Calamity erupted that they could accumulate enough power to awaken from their slumber and unleash a massive calamity of fierce beasts.

Currently, within the Abyss beneath the sea, those fierce beasts that were roused by the power of the Dao Rhyme were indeed numerous, but their power was not very strong. Even the most powerful among them only possessed strength equivalent to a full-fledged Taoist Master, and they posed no threat to Jiang Chen.

In terms of scale, this fierce beast chaos could only be considered as minor disturbances. Otherwise, the Great Divine Transcendents would have already been alerted at the very instant the chaos erupted, turning their gazes this way.

Such chaos of fierce beasts was a disaster that could affect the entire Prehistoric World; if the scale were truly vast beyond imagination, then the Great Divine Transcendents would not possibly stand by idly.
