Chapter 250 - 249: The Complete Dragon Corpse

Chapter 250: Chapter 249: The Complete Dragon Corpse

Xie Jiuniang had digested the Elixir within her body and refined the Spiritual Energy completely, and the thin layer of Spiritual Power Lake in her Dantian was restored.

The Pure World Lotus floated to the surface, looking much more spirited.

At this time, Xie Jiuniang also had the spare strength to look around.

It was a large cavern, an environment that was unfamiliar to her.

"It seems we have a fate with caverns," Xie Jiuniang joked.

Jian Lingyan thought about it and it was true, "Last time in the Tianshui Secret Realm, the cavern had some good stuff. Is there anything this time?"

"Let’s search and see."

Xie Jiuniang rolled over and stood up, finally seeing the Water Kirin not far away, seriously injured, "Xiaoshui?"

She hurried over and examined it.

"Thankfully, it’s all superficial wounds." Xie Jiuniang fed a few Elixirs to the Water Kirin, then picked it up and placed it on a flat stone.

She also changed out of her damaged Vestment robe.

Xie Jiuniang took out the Vestment robe she had obtained during her last homage to her master, which was given by a Divinity Transformation and had excellent defensive qualities.

The Defense Jade Token her master had given her had shattered, so it was the perfect time to don this Vestment robe. She combed her long hair and tied it up with a hair band, then performed the Dust Cleansing Technique three times in succession, finally transforming back into a fresh and clean fairy.

She made sure the cavern posed no immediate danger.

Xie Jiuniang then found a clean spot and sat down to cultivate.

During this time, it was still best to quickly recover her strength.

The Water Kirin opened its eyes in a daze.

"Oh, the Scheming Beast is awake?" Broken Sword wobbled over to the Water Kirin.

The Water Kirin cast a sidelong glance at Broken Sword, then looked towards Xie Jiuniang, who was cultivating, "Xiaoshui got hurt protecting the master, you’re not even as useful as Xiaoshui."

This statement struck a nerve with Jian Lingyan, "What did you say? I’m much more useful than you are. Master likes me best, and she didn’t contract you as a Contracted Beast because of me."

"Oh, so it’s you."

"Eh?" It was just bragging.

The Water Kirin believed it and glared furiously at Broken Sword. Since it was just a young beast, it lacked any real threat and even its glare was adorably cute.

A beast and a sword bickered endlessly.

They were on the verge of fighting, thankfully they still had some restraint not to disturb their master’s cultivation.

By the time Xie Jiuniang’s state was fully recovered, the Water Kirin and Broken Sword had already engaged in three hundred silent rounds.

Jian Lingyan immediately tattled, saying the Water Kirin was bullying it.

When Xie Jiuniang heard this, she looked towards the Water Kirin, which although just a small cub, had tearful eyes, looking like a delicate flower aggrieved and curling up. Without needing to say anything, its demeanor showed it was bullied and wronged.

Compared to Jian Lingyan’s complaints, the pitiful little flower had the upper hand.

Xie Jiuniang was at a loss for words, "The two of you are just too idle."

She then examined the cavern once more, and tugged at the Water Kirin, "Stop playing dead, get up quickly and lead the way."

"Master, Xiaoshui has no strength," the Water Kirin cried without tears.

Knowing this creature’s true nature, Xie Jiuniang stuffed a handful of Elixirs into its mouth, "Do you have strength now?"

The Water Kirin replied, "A little bit."

Xie Jiuniang stuffed another bottle in, "How about now?"

"A little bit more," the Water Kirin looked expectantly at her again.

What greeted it, however, was a slap on its head.

Xie Jiuniang laughed and scolded, "Stop playing tricks with me, hurry up and get to work."

"Wuwu, Master doesn’t love Xiaoshui anymore..."

The Water Kirin cried as it led the way, acting like a little drama king, while Jian Lingyan felt as refreshed as if it had drunk ice water on a hot June day.

The sword body shook and slapped the Water Kirin’s butt, "You scheming beast, get up and work! Do you hear me? If you delay our master’s affairs, you’ll be the only one to blame."

Xie Jiuniang, "..."

She was too drained to mock these two.

The Water Kirin led the way.

She walked down an unconventional path, one that neither she nor the Sword Spirit had seen.

For instance, while walking, the Water Kirin suddenly rammed into a stone wall.

You might think it was trying to seek death, right?

Wrong, the wall that it rammed into rippled with an array pattern of water waves, and Xie Jiuniang, clutching the Broken Sword, followed it and stepped in.

The environment changed again, another cave.

The Water Kirin wandered in the cave for a while, then rammed into another stone wall, leading to yet another changed environment.

Xie Jiuniang followed behind the Water Kirin, turning through nine different caves.

Finally, on the tenth time, the setting altered; it was no longer a cave but a vast, dark space underground, where phosphorescent fires flickered everywhere.

They twinkled, blue phosphorescent fires.

Scattered points of light flashed and went out in an instant.

Xie Jiuniang sensed the presence of yin energy.

This yin energy could not enter her body; it was purified by the Pure World Lotus as soon as it got close.

In the quiet space, only the sound of Xie Jiuniang’s footsteps could be heard.

Step by step, with every few paces, she encountered the skeleton of a Demonic Beast.

This place was like a vast tomb.

The Water Kirin led her deeper until, at the very end, they found a gigantic Golden Dragon corpse. It was a complete body, seemingly alive but without breath.

Xie Jiuniang, holding the Broken Sword, stood before the Dragon Corpse.

The massive Dragon Corpse made her seem even more minuscule, like a grasshopper standing in front of an elephant.

"I heard that dragons leave behind their breath before they die?"

Xie Jiuniang watched her surroundings vigilantly.

Nothing?

She stepped forward and murmured softly, "Dragon’s might? Dragon Soul?"

"This dragon has been dead for who knows how many years; where would you find any pressure or breath from it?" Jian Lingyan scorned her master for her ignorance, "Really ignorant. I don’t want to recognize you as my master anymore."

"If you’re so knowledgeable, didn’t you say that there are no dragons in this world?"

"When did I say that? I don’t remember saying that. Don’t try to frame me," Jian Lingyan bristled, denying it repeatedly.

Xie Jiuniang snorted coldly, "You did say so."

Seeing the Dragon Corpse, she was shocked.

Shocked that beneath the Longyuan Abyss of the Central Region there was a dragon.

Even if it was just a Dragon Corpse, it proved that dragons were real at one point. What was most puzzling was that the Dragon Corpse was too well-preserved, not seeming dead but rather as if it were in deep sleep.

Xie Jiuniang tested several times and found that approaching the Dragon Corpse posed no danger.

No prohibitions, no traps at all.

Actually, at this point, Jian Lingyan was also very surprised that there really was a dragon in Longyuan; it went forward to inspect, especially seeing the dog owner daring to climb upon the Dragon Corpse, touching it all over.

Like an ant daring to hop on a Dragon Corpse.

Luckily it was a corpse; if it had been alive, her actions would have deserved death a hundred times over.

Xie Jiuniang voiced her doubts, "Little Jianjian, this Dragon Corpse is too well preserved. Could it be that it’s not dead?"

"Not dead, and it lets you hop on it?" Jian Lingyan wanted to knock some sense into the dog owner who was touching the Dragon Corpse all over.

Xie Jiuniang had a face full of exasperation, "Can’t you speak nicely for once?"

"Hurry up and get down, get down!"

Jian Lingyan seemed to see the dog owner dancing with death.

Because it saw the dog owner, armed with a dagger, trying to pry off a piece of Dragon Scale.

"Stop it, stop it!"

The Water Kirin was so frightened that it suddenly knocked away Xie Jiuniang’s dagger.

Xie Jiuniang was perplexed.

The Water Kirin had run off somewhere earlier, and now it came out and was preventing her from prying off a Dragon Scale.
