Chapter 24: Long Yao and Hei Yu Yuan Jing
Bang!
A long, dark object was suddenly released from the claws of a winged dragon and fell to the ground with a loud roar, creating a deep semi-circular pit.
Ji Changkong, who was not far from the thing, was startled and caught off guard, and was covered in dust that had been stirred up, looking disheveled.
He really didn't know what the thing that fell from the sky was, it came from a not very high altitude, and it actually smashed the ground into a deep pit, which shows that the weight of the thing is extremely frightening.
After the Tianyi Winged Dragon threw things down, it didn't stay here for a moment and flew back to the Poisonous Dragon Pool as if it was specially sent to deliver something.
Watching the Cloud Dream Overlord slowly sink into the Poison Dragon Pool, Ji Changkong first let out a sigh of relief, then looked stunned, paused for a moment, and laughed awkwardly: "It can't be that it ate my cooked meat, return my favor with something else?"
With a strange expression, he shook his head and walked towards the deep pit that had been smashed out. He climbed down into the pit with some difficulty and saw a long, black, blurry thing in front of him.
When he came to the front of that thing, Ji Changkong looked carefully and suddenly found that it was a long knife inserted into the scabbard. The scabbard and the hilt were covered with a layer of black mud, probably because they had been submerged in the poisonous dragon pool for too long, so from a distance, it looked very strange.
"Huh?"
With a cry of surprise, Ji Changkong, who was standing beside the Long Sword, had a peaceful mind, but suddenly sensed that the sword in its scabbard seemed to have a strong life fluctuation!
Bang! Bang!
The long blade of the sword sheathed in its scabbard was continuously emitting this sound, as if... there was a strong and powerful heart beating incessantly inside!
His pupils were filled with astonishment, and Ji Changkong had never encountered such a miraculous thing before. He also knew a thing or two about the cultivation of Tian Shi, and understood that once one's realm reached the Six Harmony Heaven, they could refine their own divine weapon using their essence, blood, spirit, and various rare materials. The divine weapon, which possessed its own consciousness, could interact with its owner at will, and unleash its power to the maximum extent.
However, according to Ji Changkong's understanding of the Six Harmony Heaven realm, a divine sword with self-awareness, although having spirituality, would not be like the long knife in front of him. Standing far away from it, it gives people a sense of vitality, and the scabbard-wrapped blade, with its surging life force, seems even more eerie.
Taking a deep breath, Ji Changkong approached the long sword stained with mud. With a "zip" sound, she tore off a corner of her green robe and used it to wipe away the thick mud on the sword's surface.
Suddenly, a strange feeling surged into Ji Changkong's heart, his hand pressed on the long knife, and his own heartbeat also started to beat violently, in an instant, his heartbeat and the long knife's heartbeat interval were consistent, originally two sounds suddenly became one.
It was also at this moment that Ji Changkong had an extremely strange illusion, as if... the long knife and he became one body, the heart of the long knife's blade became his other heart!
With a look of astonishment, Ji Changkong quickly wiped one side of the long knife clean, and the shape of the long knife gradually emerged...
The blade is shaped like a dragon, the scabbard is covered with intricate dark red dragon patterns, which give people an extremely complex and wonderful feeling. The hilt is in the shape of a fierce dragon head, similar to the head of the Tianyi Winged Dragon that appeared earlier. The long knife, scabbard, and hilt are all made of unknown materials, but they give off an ancient and solemn atmosphere.
The hilt of the knife has a corner, engraved with two small characters - Long Yao, and the name of the knife is also Long Yao.
This knife must have been around for some years, Ji Changkong secretly defined it, and immediately his heart moved, wanting to turn over the other side and wipe it clean.
"Hmm..."
It's too heavy! Ji Changkong took a deep breath, using all his strength, but found that he couldn't budge the long knife. He grasped the hilt again and exerted himself once more, only to discover that he couldn't pull out the long knife that had been sheathed in dust for who knows how many years!
This dragon-shaped long knife, named Longyao, is made of an unknown material and is surprisingly heavy, to the point where even Jī Chángkōng, who was not as strong as he used to be, couldn't lift or pull it out.
Helplessly lying on the ground, he stared at his beloved long knife with a look of despair on his face.
Splash!
Another sound of water splashing came from the Poison Dragon Pool, and the huge body of the Tianyao Winged Dragon swooped in with a loud whoosh. Its sharp claws held a handful of angular, glossy black stones that shone with an ink-black luster. After arriving here, it tossed the stones down with one swipe, and over a dozen stones clattered to the ground.
It circled around Ji Changkong for a while, not knowing whether it knew that Ji Changkong couldn't take away the long knife. After a while, it suddenly approached, using its wide meat wings to push Ji Changkong aside, and its huge sharp claws grabbed Long Yao, then flew directly towards the Poison Dragon Pool.
Watching Tianyi Winged Dragon take away Longyao, Ji Changkong's face was full of helplessness. He had brought Longyao here for the first time, which meant that Tianyi Winged Dragon was not unwilling to give Longyao to him. It could only be said that his strength was really too weak, and he didn't even have the ability to take Longyao away.
Alas, I'll just have to wait until the day I'm strong enough, then I'll go demand Dragon Radiance from it. Ji Changkong could only comfort himself like this, sighing and feeling down for a while before shifting his gaze to the strange object it had brought him for the second time.
……
Hei Yu Yuan Jing!!!
Ji Changkong's eyelid twitched, ignoring the pain in his legs and feet, he suddenly jumped to the side with a jumping posture and picked up the nearest black stone.
As soon as he held the stone in his hand, Ji Changkong's eyes turned black and his original strength was activated. On horseback, he suddenly felt dizzy and seemed to be influenced by some kind of strange power in his mind.
As soon as he retracted his yuan force, the dizzying sensation vanished into thin air. After repeated attempts, Ji Changkong's face was filled with wild joy. At this moment, the stinging pain on his body seemed to have disappeared, and he actually started dancing in the deep pit.
Hei Yu Yuan Jing, an extremely rare and precious yuan stone, is a mysterious yuan stone that can increase the power of the divine soul. It is even more valuable and scarce than the Flame Yuan Pearl given by Nie Yuan Shan to Ji Wan Yun that day.
Ordinary yuan stones can be used to temper divine weapons, more precious ones can directly absorb the rare yuan force within them to increase a Tian Shi's cultivation, and even more precious ones like the Flame Yuan Pearl have certain special effects...
However, among all kinds of yuan stones, there are very few that can directly increase the power of the divine soul!
Tianshi's cultivation starts from the Three Talents Heaven realm, and the cultivation of the divine soul is an indispensable part, even a crucial part!
Only when the divine soul is strong enough, some special heavenly secret techniques can be cultivated to the extreme, and the interaction with the divine sword can be at will, and there is a chance to break through to a deeper realm...
In short, the cultivation of divine soul is extremely important, and every celestial master must work hard in this aspect, there is no possibility of avoiding this part!
In this world, it's already not easy to give birth to such a wonderful thing as the yuan stone. To be able to produce the divine black jade yuan crystal that can increase one's spiritual soul is already a miracle!
As one of the most precious yuan stones, Hei Yu Yuan Jing is absolutely one of the most sought-after treasures among the top Tian Shi in the world!
With excitement in her heart, Ji Changkong carefully put the fourteen black jade yuan crystals of varying sizes into a package and tied it tightly with hemp rope. Only then did she laugh loudly, feeling that their trip to Du Long Tan had been truly worthwhile.
Out of the deep ditch, Ji Changkong confirmed that Tian Yiwu Long had no malice towards him and was no longer in a hurry. He collected the skin stripped from the thousand-year-old purple gold toad, a thumb-thick long tendon on its back, a mouthful of huge poisonous teeth, and a pair of eyeballs into another small package.
Ji Changkong didn't know what specific uses these things had for the time being, but he dared to confirm that the thousand-year-old Zi Jin Chan Yu was definitely a treasure, and after returning to the Ji family, asking San Ye Ye and Auntie Ji Wanyun would naturally make him understand their specific uses.
He didn't rush to leave the Poison Dragon Pool immediately, Ji Changkong planned to recover from his leg injury in this place where Tianyi Winged Dragon lived, and then return home. After all, the road back was still fraught with danger, only by ensuring that he was nimble could he increase his chances of survival.
For several days, Ji Changkong stayed beside the Poison Dragon Pool. At dusk, the Heaven-Winged Dragon would fly out of the pool to hunt for food.
Before long, it will catch a bloody beast and bring it back. The beasts that are caught are all huge existences like sword-toothed rhinos and blood-stained giant crocodiles. When they are thrown in front of Ji Changkong, they have already died.
The princess rode a light chariot on the familiar road, peeled and sliced the meat, set up a fire, added seasonings and roasted it. Then she and Tianyue Longwang had a hearty meal together. Naturally, she ate a small portion, while Tianyue Longwang ate a large one.
Eight days later, Ji Changkong's leg injury had fully recovered, and under the nourishment of the ferocious beasts in Yunmeng Daze, his originally somewhat thin body had also become more robust, although still far from being as strong as other sons of the Ji family, but he no longer looked weak.
But it gives people a sense of spiritual vitality and a flying spirit!
After nursing her body back to health, Ji Changlong slipped away quietly in the middle of the night when Tianyi was resting, taking the spoils of war with her.
All the way, carefully avoiding those ferocious beasts that were as insignificant as ants in his eyes but as majestic as mountains, he also encountered some dangers along the way and fortunately survived unscathed. After more than 20 days, he finally left the Yunmeng Great Marsh.
He went home, and Ji Changkong let out a soft whistle as he walked towards the Qingyan Mountain in front of him. In his hand, he tightly grasped the small bottle filled with the Thousand-Year Purple Golden Toad's saliva.
