Volume 2: Xuanzhou Wooden House Chapter 7: Blood Jade Dragon Tooth Rice

  He then picked up the purple jade box, and inside was a fragment of a painting. The fragment's color was yellowed with age, clearly an object from a distant era. Xiao Chen held it in his hand, let out a soft exclamation, and his face involuntarily revealed a few hints of surprise. After hesitating for a moment, he circulated his internal energy and exerted a slight force, but surprisingly couldn't damage it in the slightest.

  "It's enough to prove that this painting is extraordinary, being carefully treasured by Ming Xiao Lao Gui. However, looking at its size, it's only about one-third of the original. It's difficult for the vast world of mortals to complete it." Xiao Chen shook his head and put it away in a jade box, then stored it in his inventory bag.

  Xiao Chen's gaze fell on the last storage bag, and he waved his hand to open it.

  This storage bag has an extremely large space, with over a hundred square meters inside, yet it is filled with numerous dark red, fist-sized grains of strange rice. Xiao Chen's face showed a hint of surprise as he reached in and pulled out one grain, which emitted a refreshing aroma that invigorated his senses, and a burst of vital energy was released from the grain, causing him to be secretly shocked! This single grain of rice, about the size of a fist, contains an astonishing amount of vitality that is comparable to the lifespan of a hundred years for ordinary people.

  "Sister, come out quickly and take a look at what I have in my hand?"

  After a while, Yu Ji's lazy and soft voice slowly sounded in his consciousness, first yawning slightly before asking: "What's going on, did you get something good again this time?"

  Xiao Chen's face stiffened slightly, although after getting used to it, he had a stronger resistance to Yu Ji's charm, but sometimes he still couldn't help being enchanted by her. He hastily spoke up: "It's this blood-colored rice in my hand, the vitality contained within is truly shocking, I wonder if sister knows what this thing actually is?"

  "Oh." Yu Ji's voice was slightly excited, revealing a few hints of interest, "Let me take a look first."

  As they spoke, Xiao Chen felt a surge of divine consciousness emanating from him. A moment later, a soft cry echoed out, and Yu Ji's figure reappeared, staring fixedly at the rice in Xiao Chen's hand with an expression of utter disbelief, exclaiming: "Blood Jade Dragon Tooth Rice!"

  Xiao Chen saw this and suddenly felt a little puzzled in his heart, not knowing what was so special about this thing that it could make Yu Ji, who had always been lazy, lose her composure like this.

  "Sister, did you recognize the origin of this rice?"

  Yu Ji looked at the blood jade dragon tooth millet, and after a while, she let out a sigh, with a hint of emotion in her eyes.

  "Little brother, it seems you indeed possess the grand aura of a great fortune, but in the mortal realm, having obtained the Blood Jade Dragon Tooth Rice, an object that defies heaven, your future achievements will surely be boundless."

  Yu Ji's eyes were filled with joy as she slowly recounted the origin of the Blood Jade Dragon Tooth Rice.

  Blood Jade Dragon Tooth Rice, rumored to be stained with the blood of a true dragon, is produced by an ancient and mysterious tree. It contains infinite vitality, and ordinary people who eat one grain can increase their lifespan by 100 years. Cultivators who take it to refine its vitality will see their lifespan surge, and it can also continuously nourish the body, eventually making the body as powerful as a magical treasure, with every move and gesture possessing immense power!

  But the most precious thing about Longya rice is not like this!

  Ancient True Dragon, is a legendary existence that can rival the great Mahayana practitioners. It is said that if one comes into contact with the aura of the True Dragon, they will be imbued with the subtle essence of the Grand Dao. If a practitioner can consume it multiple times, they will increase their understanding of the Heavenly Way, thereby greatly enhancing their cultivation realm.

  "The Blood Jade Dragon Tooth Rice, even in the spiritual realm, is a heavenly treasure that appears only once every ten thousand years. I was able to learn about this item because of a chance encounter at an elder's birthday banquet." Yu Ji's face showed a hint of nostalgia, "The one who brought out this rice was a famous loose cultivator, and just ten grains were enough to make my elder extremely happy, and they thanked him profusely. Afterwards, when my elder was breaking through the bottleneck, he continuously swallowed and refined ten grains of Blood Jade Dragon Tooth Rice, and ultimately succeeded in advancing due to the great Dao enlightenment brought about by this item."

  Yu Ji's face showed a few hints of hesitation, and after some deliberation, her cherry lips parted slightly as she said in a soft voice: "Younger brother, I want to discuss something with you. Can you give me that grain of Dragon Tooth Rice? I know it's extremely rare, but it would be incredibly useful for me. With just one grain of Blood Jade Dragon Tooth Rice, my injured yuan Shen could recover somewhat."

  Yu Ji's face also couldn't help but flush slightly after she finished speaking, her heart filled with anxiety. After all, the Blood Jade Dragon Tooth Rice was too precious, and it was normal for Xiao Chen to keep some for himself. Waiting for a moment, seeing his expressionless face, Yu Ji couldn't help but let out a soft sigh, her eyes dimming slightly.

  The beauty let out a light sigh, and Xiao Chen, who had been knocked unconscious by the pie that fell from the sky, was startled awake. Looking at Yu Jie's gloomy appearance, he scolded himself harshly in his heart, then hurriedly smiled and said: "Sister, don't worry, this thing will be useful to you, just take it."

  Yu Ji was thinking of something else and forced a smile upon hearing this, but didn't respond.

  Xiao Chen's face showed a few shades of urgency, "Little brother is sincere and genuine, just now I was distracted because... Ah, sister will know if she takes a look herself."

  Yu Ji's face showed a few points of doubt, and a thread of divine consciousness entered the storage bag in Xiao Chen's hand. The charming face that was like a poem or a painting suddenly revealed a shocked expression, and she remained silent for a long time.

  Half a moment later, seeing Yu Ji had no reaction, Xiao Chen couldn't help but scratch his head, speaking with a hint of doubt: "Sister, is this Blood Jade Dragon Tooth Rice really that precious? I merely eliminated a Golden Dan cultivator from the Mortal Realm, how did I end up with this small mountain-like pile?"

  Yu Ji: ...

  "Stinky brat, who would have thought that you'd walk into such good fortune? Look at the grain pattern on this rice, it vaguely forms the shape of a nine-clawed true dragon. And with its vigorous vitality, it's undoubtedly the Blood Jade Dragon Tooth Rice." Yu Ji revealed a hint of solemnity, her beautiful eyebrows furrowed tightly as she warned: "You possess this item, you absolutely cannot reveal it to outsiders, otherwise it will inevitably attract countless cultivators' envy. Even if it's a top-notch unyielding cultivator from the mortal realm, they'll probably come running out of the deep mountains and old forests to fight to the death for it."

  Xiao Chen's face turned pale as he heard the words, and he broke out in a cold sweat. He nodded repeatedly, his mind made up that under no circumstances could outsiders know about this. But before he could put away the Blood Jade Dragon Tooth Rice in his hand, Yu Ji reached out and took it with a smile, "This one is mine first, remember to give me one every ten days from now on. This way, even if we can't refine that Dan medicine, my Yuan Shen's injuries will likely recover." With a playful smile, her figure flashed and she disappeared into his body.

  Xiao Chen smiled wryly and shook his head, carefully laying down dozens of layers of prohibition on the storage bag before heaving a slight sigh of relief, then lowered his head to ponder.

  Although this Blood Jade Dragon Tooth Rice is good, it can't solve the current problem. In three days, Luoyun Valley will be at war with Lieyan Sect, and time is extremely pressing.

  Xiao Chen hesitated slightly, then turned his hand over and took out a palm-sized jade bottle from the storage bag, with a cautious look in his eyes.
