Chapter 536: Chapter 0538: Insider News

The giant dragon, unsettled by the sudden intrusion of blood, began to stir restlessly.

Shen Congwen was terrified. He anxiously hid behind Chu Ge and asked in confusion, "Mr. Chu, what’s happening?"

Chu Ge stood there expressionless and explained, "Blood Recognition."

Blood Recognition?

Shen Congwen was astonished.

Chu Ge nodded, then added, "Dragons are inherently proud creatures; they won’t easily submit to anyone. Blood Recognition is the most straightforward and crude method of Dragon Control. Even if the dragon is unwilling in its heart, as long as your blood completely merges with its body, it will automatically serve you as its master."

Since the dragon was not yet conscious, all of its reactions were currently instinctive.

Shen Congwen nodded blankly, "So what you’re saying is... I’m already this giant dragon’s master?"

Chu Ge nodded again.

But Shen Congwen was still puzzled, "Can the people down the mountain see this as well?"

Chu Ge shook his head, "They can only see mist flowing over the mountain. As for the dragon’s body, unless it wants to destroy this cultivation base, a dragon generally does not reveal its True Body."

Upon hearing this, Shen Congwen felt relieved and nodded in agreement.

He had been keeping the cultivation of Earth Ganoderma a secret as many people were already watching it covetously. If the presence of this giant dragon caused any unnecessary commotion, it would definitely affect his cultivation of Earth Ganoderma in the short term.

Just as Chu Ge said, the people below the mountain could indeed only see the mist gradually forming on the mid-slope of Beishan.

As the mist grew thicker, almost the entire summit of Beishan was enveloped, becoming a veritable fairyland.

Neither the Veiled Man nor the Scarred Man had realized the danger. After a brief tremor on the ground, they continued to climb up Beishan.

"Boss, was that an earthquake just now?" asked the Scarred Man, somewhat concerned.

The Veiled Man let out a light scoff, "What earthquake? When has there ever been an earthquake in Su City? It must have been someone blasting near here."

He couldn’t think of a better explanation than this.

After hearing this, the Scarred Man fell silent, following quietly behind the Veiled Man, moving up the mountain.

On the mountain, the giant dragon had been agitated for a while without stopping, which was truly eerie.

Huo Tianqian asked, puzzled, from the side, "Mr. Chu, could it be that this giant dragon doesn’t recognize Mr. Shen’s blood?"

Shen Congwen also looked over at Chu Ge with a worried expression, his eyes filled with hope but also tinged with a touch of disappointment.

Chu Ge slightly shook his head, "No."

Chu Ge narrowed his eyes and looked up at the giant dragon. Although the dragon was agitated, its eyes were fixed in one direction, the southwest...

Chu Ge filled his Dantian with energy, hovered mid-air, and followed the direction the dragon was staring at, only to see a group of people dressed in black stealthily running up the mountain.

Chu Ge understood then and returned to the ground.

"Some people have come looking for trouble."

Chu Ge straightened his clothes, and as he looked up at the giant dragon, a hint of shock crossed his mind.

This giant dragon had only taken shape a few minutes ago, yet it was able to develop a sliver of consciousness through the surrounding Spiritual Energy.

Although this consciousness was not yet able to orchestrate corresponding attacks, it could sharply distinguish directions and those plotting misdeeds.

Upon hearing this, Huo Tianqian immediately became alert and looked around, "Where?"

"They are still at the foot of the mountain, trying to climb up."

Shen Congwen and Huo Tianqian looked at each other, "So the dragon became restless just now because it sensed someone trying to ascend the mountain?"

Chu Ge nodded, "The dragon has just started to become conscious and can’t yet discern good from bad, so it sends out a warning whenever someone approaches this place," Chu Ge explained.

Shen Congwen looked up, astonished. This giant dragon was too tall; he could only see its majestic body when he lifted his head and wanted to reach out to touch it, but the dragon’s body was made of mist, and Shen Congwen couldn’t touch it with an outstretched hand.

Perhaps sensing Shen Congwen’s touch, the giant dragon let out a low hum. It slowly shrunk its body and lowered its head towards Shen Congwen.

This time, unlike before, Shen Congwen felt no fear or nervousness. On the contrary, he inexplicably felt a sense of familiarity, as if the giant dragon had already recognized him as its master, obediently staying by his side.

Chu Ge and Huo Tianqian didn’t have as much inclination to indulge in such feelings.

With an exclamation, Huo Tianqian placed his hands on his hips and swore, "No matter who is coming this time, I’m going to beat them to the point they cry for their parents!"

Ever since he lost his martial arts abilities, he had been living aggrieved days; now that he had regained his martial arts, he had yet to have a proper confrontation with anyone.

Since someone was looking for trouble and not afraid of death, he naturally wasn’t either! In fact, right now, every cell in his body was pulsating, becoming extremely excited.

Chu Ge slightly furrowed his brows, "These people don’t seem to be from the Black Witch Sect, even though they are dressed in black clothes, these garments look more like Tang costumes."

"Tang costumes? Tang Sect?" Huo Tianqian was puzzled. Ever since Tang Jiahui became crippled, there had been no conflicts with the Tang Sect, and yet now they had come knocking.

Could it be for the secret manual?

Chu Ge harbored a similar thought. However, no matter what they were here for, he didn’t take them seriously.

At this moment, at the foot of the mountain, people wearing Tang costumes were preparing to climb up on foot.

"Sun Jie, are you sure you’re not mistaken? Did Chu Ge and Huo Tianqian really head this way?" The one called Sun Jie was a young lad, who nodded repeatedly, "Tang You, captain, I’m absolutely certain. I saw with my own eyes Chu Ge and Huo Tianqian heading in this direction."

Tang You looked towards Beishan, noting its dangerous terrain and wondering why they would come here without any reason; it wasn’t a famous scenic spot.

"Captain Tang You, I heard some rumors that Shen Congwen has developed a piece of land here to cultivate Earth Ganoderma."

Tang You scoffed, "So what if he cultivates a cartload of Earth Ganoderma? Earth Ganoderma only shows its true usefulness for practitioners of Ancient Martial Arts. For common people, it’s at most just a Lingzhi mushroom."

Watching Tang You’s arrogant demeanor, Sun Jie felt contempt in his heart but maintained a sycophantic smile on his face, "I heard through the grapevine that the cultivation of the Earth Ganoderma is specifically for Chu Ge."

"For Chu Ge?" Tang You was puzzled. What did Chu Ge want with so much Earth Ganoderma?

"Is your information reliable?"

Sun Jie patted his chest, "Absolutely reliable! They’ve even printed the contract. I just happened to see their contract by accident, that’s how I know about it."

He had made a nice profit off of this piece of information, too.

Tang You looked skeptically at Sun Jie, "If it was a contract, it must be confidential. How could it possibly be known to you?"
