Cultivating Immortality, Starting from Childhood Sweethearts

Chapter 173 I Need Your Help (4000 words, two-in-one)

Killing the evil蛟 certainly requires the cooperation of the people of Shijia Village.

Otherwise, if that evil 蛟 is always underwater, it will be very troublesome for me.

If I insist on going to the evil 蛟's lair, I'm afraid I'll just be delivering food to someone else.

In this process, the people of Shijia Village will definitely face many risks.

To prevent the other party from backing down, Xu Ming said, "If the evil 蛟 is not dead, I will not leave," to completely reassure him.

Of course, Xu Ming would also be wary of the other party and would not completely trust the village chief. If the village chief informed on him and sold him out, it would be troublesome.

With proper precautions, even if the village chief betrays him, even if he can't kill the evil 蛟, he will be able to retreat unscathed.

A demon clan in the Golden Core Realm is not enough to stop me.

After killing this evil 蛟, I can take the heart blood of this evil 蛟 as ink, so as to draw some Dao Rain Talismans, which can make the spiritual power of the Baiwa Secret Realm more concentrated, and those spiritual rice will be easier to grow.

Each Dao Rain Talisman used is one less. After using up five, I have to consider spending a few more. The heart blood of a 蛟 dragon is essential.

In addition to the heart blood of this evil 蛟, its dragon tendons, dragon scales, and demon core are all treasures. The dragon whip is even liked by many middle-aged men. Some nobles or middle-aged cultivators are willing to pay a high price to buy it.

After all, this kind of thing that greatly nourishes men is the most popular in any era.

Dragon meat is also an excellent food for martial artists, which can enhance the martial artist's true qi.

Although 蛟 dragon blood is not as good as true dragon blood, it is also good for body tempering. If it really doesn't work, it can be sold to other martial artists.

So, to some extent, killing this evil 蛟 is actually for myself.

The village chief of Shijia Village agreed to Xu Ming's request, saying that he would try his best to delay time and also try his best to get that 蛟 dragon to come ashore.

Early the next morning, the village chief of Shijia Village led some strong men from the village to the edge of the Yellow Sand River.

Xu Ming stood in the distance watching.

The village chief of Shijia Village asked the strong men in the village to set up an altar, light incense, respectfully perform the sacrificial ceremony, and then loudly recited: "Dragon King, thank you Dragon King for blessing Shijia Village with good weather. Today, Shijia Village should have given gifts to the Dragon King.

But the pair of virgin boys and girls that the Lord requires will not reach the age of nine until four days later, which meets the requirements of the Dragon King.

Please also ask the Dragon King to calm his anger."

The village chief of Shijia Village swallowed hard and his legs trembled greatly, and continued: "Also in four days, our village will hold a temple fair for the Dragon King to thank the Dragon King for his protection of our Shijia Village for the past twenty years.

If possible, I implore the Dragon King to come to Shijia Village. If the old and young of Shijia Village can see the Dragon King, they will have no regrets in this life!"

The words of the village chief of Shijia Village spread throughout the Yellow Sand River.

After speaking, the village chief of Shijia Village stared closely at the river surface, with cold sweat冒 on his forehead.

He also didn't know if his excuse was useful.

I also don't know if the Dragon King has noticed anything.

"What if the Dragon King discovers something ."

Thinking of this, the village chief of Shijia Village panicked even more.

Time passed by minute by minute.

The village chief led the people waiting by the river. Even if there was not a bit of movement on the river, they did not dare to leave.

"Rumble."

Suddenly, the Yellow Sand River kept rolling, and one huge vortex after another appeared on the river surface.

"Whirr!"

A water column was pulled up from the river and fell from the sky, stirring up layers of river waves.

The waves of the river patted the shore, splashing and wetting everyone's clothes.

Above the sky, a 蛟 dragon hovered.

Xu Ming looked at that evil 蛟.

Except for the Thunder Dragon that transcended the tribulation in the Baiwa Secret Realm, this was the first time Xu Ming had seen a real living dragon clan, although it was just a 蛟 dragon.

Xu Ming had read such a sentence in a book before.

"A snake becomes a python in five hundred years, a python becomes a giant boa in five hundred years, a giant boa becomes a 蛟 dragon in five hundred years, a 蛟 becomes a 螭 in five hundred years, a 螭 becomes a 虬 in five hundred years, and a 虬 becomes a true dragon in five hundred years."

The first stage—snake, is the body just born, small and fragile, without ear holes, without limbs, oviparous, shedding its skin to grow. Unable to resist natural and man-made disasters.

In the python stage, the body size and strength become larger, the body length is huge, and it already uses strength to prey. It also has no ear holes, no limbs, and sheds its skin to grow. Unable to resist natural and man-made disasters.

The third stage is similar to the python, that is, "giant boa". In this stage, the body size and strength will become very huge, and they usually live by the water, without limbs, shedding their skin to grow, and unable to resist natural and man-made disasters.

However, this kind of giant boa can already become a local overlord of the mountains and forests.

But the fourth stage is completely different.

蛟.

Giant boas need to走水, and only after experiencing several large rivers can they have a chance to transform into 蛟 dragons.

The river that transforms into a 蛟 is the blessed land of the giant boa.

Under normal circumstances, after a giant boa transforms into a 蛟 dragon, it will practice in its blessed land for a period of time. After accumulating enough, it needs to continue to evolve.

蛟 dragons are not real dragons, they are just transitional products of dragons, they have no horns, their bodies are like snakes, their heads are like dragons and tigers, their voices are like cows, they can stir up waves in the water, and they can also soar and fly into the clouds. They have the supernatural power of causing wind and rain, and can resist man-made disasters, but cannot resist natural disasters.

If 蛟 dragons want to go further, they need to enter the sea!

Entering the sea to become a 螭.

螭 dragons are already considered dragons. They have four feet and live in the sea. 蛟 enter the sea from small areas through rivers. This process of entering the sea will not be smooth. There will be many natural phenomena. The ancients called it a heavenly tribulation. Once the tribulation fails, they will die.

Generally, the realm of 螭 dragons is equivalent to the Nascent Soul Realm of Qi Refiners.

When the Golden Core Realm enters the Nascent Soul, Qi Refiners need to overcome the Thunder Tribulation, while for the dragon clan, they走海.

Entering the sea and becoming a local overlord, constantly practicing, they can become 虬 dragons.

At this time, they truly have the iconic dragon horns. 虬 dragons can go to heaven and earth, can be big or small, unpredictable,团云吐雾, have divine power, can劃出 a world in the sea, have their own眷属, and can even establish a country in the sea.

The final stage is the stage that all dragon clans dream of—true dragon.

True dragons have scales and spines, large and long heads, pointed snouts, small noses, eyes, and ears, large eye sockets, high browbones, sharp teeth, protruding foreheads, and long pointed tails.

True dragons can draw the ground with their tails to form rivers and make water enter the sea, change river courses, and command the dragon clan.

According to Xu Ming's understanding, the current true dragons in the world, and all four true dragons are in the Ascension Realm.

Among them, one true dragon is still the second place on the current Red Beauty List, that eternally stunning North Sea Dragon Queen.

But in fact, it often does not take five hundred years for a snake to evolve into a python. It only takes ten years, and some with high talent may not even need ten years.

But if a 蛟 dragon wants to evolve into a true dragon, especially if a 虬 evolves into a true dragon, it will take thousands of years at the very least, and most of them will never reach the level of a true dragon in their lifetime.

"Commoners, pay respects to the Dragon King!"

Seeing the evil 蛟 come out, the village chief of Shijia Village hurriedly knelt down and saluted, and the others also followed suit.

Yellow Sand Dragon Lord glanced at everyone: "You haven't held a temple fair before, why are you holding one this year?"

"Responding, Dragon King," the village chief said tremblingly, "This year is the twentieth year that you have blessed our Shijia Village. 'Twenty' is a big year for our Shijia Village, so we want to celebrate for you."

"Is that all?" Yellow Sand Dragon Lord frowned.

Village Chief of Shijia Village: "That's all ."

"Look me in the eyes when you speak!" Yellow Sand Dragon Lord said coldly, and the dragon's might spread around the river.

Shengsheng, who was standing in the distance with Xu Ming, felt the threat and bared her teeth at the distant Yellow Sand Dragon Lord, and the vertical pupils in her eyes shrank sharply.

"It's okay." Xu Ming reached out and touched Shengsheng's head.

Shengsheng raised her small head, glanced at Xu Ming, blinked, and then hugged Xu Ming's leg, continuing to show her teeth and claws at the distant Yellow Sand Dragon Lord.

By the Yellow Sand River, the village chief of Shijia Village tremblingly raised his head and looked directly into the eyes of the 蛟 dragon.

An ordinary person looking directly into the eyes of a Golden Core Realm 蛟 dragon, under this kind of pressure, Xu Ming was also a little worried, worried about whether the village chief could withstand the pressure and not tell the truth.

"Responding, Yellow Sand Lord... actually... actually, I have another reason." As he spoke, the village chief of Shijia Village seemed to collapse and heavily磕首 on the ground, his forehead was broken, "I deserve to die, I deserve to die ."

"Speak!" Yellow Sand Dragon Lord said coldly.

"Actually... actually, I wanted to... I wanted to ask the Dragon King if Shijia Village could use other sacrifices to replace the virgin boys and girls... just... just forget about it ." The village chief of Shijia Village looked like he was about to cry.

Yellow Sand Dragon Lord's eyes凝起: "This king has said that virgin boys and girls are a must! There can be no excuses! This king sees that you old man has done a lot of things for this king, so this time I will spare you. If you mention it again next time! You old bones will feed the fish and shrimp of this Yellow Sand River."

"Yes, yes, yes... I will never dare again, please forgive me, Yellow Sand Lord." The village chief of Shijia Village叩首 again.

"Four days later, make the celebration for this king lively. This king will also invite some friends to go, don't let this king lose face, do you understand?" Yellow Sand Dragon Lord still wanted to participate in his temple fair.

Not to mention that he can absorb a lot of incense.

This was also a matter of face in front of his friends.

“Please rest assured, Dragon King, I will definitely handle it well and make you satisfied,” the village chief said hurriedly.

“There is something I want to ask you,” the Yellow Sand Dragon King asked.

“Lord, please speak,” the village chief remained prostrate on the ground, not daring to raise his head.

“Has a man come to your village? A youth of about sixteen or seventeen years old, wearing a green robe, looking something like this.”

The Yellow Sand Dragon Lord threw a portrait in front of the village chief.

The village chief hurriedly picked it up and took a look, a shock in his heart.

Isn't this the Immortal Master?

“Looks like you have seen him,” the Yellow Sand Dragon Lord sneered twice upon seeing the village chief's expression.

“Replying to the Dragon King, this humble man has indeed seen this man,” the village chief slowly said, “Just yesterday, this man came to my house, saying that it was getting late and he wanted to stay for the night, and I agreed.”

“Oh? That man is still in your house?” The Yellow Sand Dragon Lord's eyes revealed joy.

“He is still there.” The village chief nodded, “That man is still at our house, it seems he wants to rest for a while and leave tomorrow, and gave me a tael of silver.”

“Mm.” The Yellow Sand Dragon Lord nodded, then with a wave of his sleeve, a bottle containing green liquid fell in front of the village chief, “Find a way to keep him for a few days, aren't you going to hold a temple fair? Keep him until the day of the temple fair, and then pour the liquid in this bottle into his tea, and let him drink it. If it succeeds, this king will reward you handsomely!”

“Yes.” The village chief tremblingly took the glass bottle and put it in his arms.

“Remember! Don't let him leave! Otherwise! I will make your entire village be buried with him!”

After dropping the last sentence, the Yellow Sand Dragon Lord transformed into his original form and once again burrowed into the Yellow Sand River.

Only when the river surface returned to calm did the village chief breathe a sigh of relief.

“Village chief…” A strong man stepped forward and helped the village chief up, “That Immortal…”

Before the strong man could say the words “Immortal Master,” the village chief glared at him, and the other immediately closed his mouth.

“Let's go back, prepare the temple fair for the Dragon King, we can't be careless,” the village chief said.

“Okay, village chief.”

The strong man nodded and, together with the villagers, packed up the things on the riverbank and walked towards the village.

Xu Ming, standing on the distant mountain peak, naturally heard everything.

Xu Ming wanted the life of this Flood Dragon, but he didn't expect that this Flood Dragon also wanted his life.

But he had no grievances or animosity with him, so the question was, did he want to kill him because he wanted the White Marsh Secret Realm, or was he being instructed by someone, such as Mo Zhu'er?

Remembering what Mo Zhu'er had said to him before she left, Xu Ming felt that this was not impossible.

After all, Mo Zhu'er was in the Dragon Gate Realm. If she wanted to kill him before, she might have been able to kill him alone, but now, she could only be killed by him alone, so it was reasonable to ask for a helper.

That Mo Zhu'er was also very troublesome. Did he have a way to take the opportunity to kill that Mo Zhu'er?

Xu Ming pondered while stroking his chin, and walked down the mountain.

When Xu Ming returned to the village, the village chief and the others had also returned.

The village chief told Xu Ming that the temple fair would be held on the largest open space in the village. Xu Ming nodded and told the village chief not to let anyone else approach this open space.

After that, every night, Xu Ming would come to the gathering space of Shijia Village to set up a magic formation.

Xu Ming drew more than a dozen Fear Heart Charms to use as a basic magic formation.

Then, Xu Ming's divine sense entered the White Marsh Secret Realm.

“Master.”

Yuan Yu, the Golden Toad in the temple, saw Xu Ming and hurriedly bowed.

Xu Ming nodded, looking at the Golden Core Realm Golden Toad: “Yuan Yu, I need you to do me a favor, do you have time?”
