"These dragon bones are too old. They are fine for refining tools, but if you use them for cultivation, too much energy will be lost. They are too inferior."
Jiang Yuebai and Lu Nanzhi stood together in the small courtyard of Liantai Cave Heaven which was used as a warehouse. All the dragon bones had been divided by type, with each taking half.
Jiang Yuebai put all the good quality ones into the warehouse, and threw the average quality ones out of the yard. He would then go back to refine some dragon bone puppets to use for farming or to keep them for future battles.
There were six pieces of red broken bones mixed in there. There was dragon energy on them but it was not pure, and they could not be pieced together into a complete piece. Jiang Yuebai couldn't tell what bones they were, so he temporarily put them aside.
It doesn't matter if you can't practice "Dragon God Transformation" for the time being. This technique looks powerful, but it is very troublesome to practice. It requires a large amount of dragon bones, dragon blood, dragon scales, etc.
The most dangerous thing is the dragon soul. Each dragon has one dragon soul, which is more difficult to obtain than its essence and blood. She is not the dragon-slaying demon Zhu Jiuyou, so where can she find so many dragon souls
Therefore, Jiang Yuebai temporarily gave up this technique and continued to practice her improved "Barbarian God Art" and integrated it with the "Nine Transformations Golden Body Art". After mastering it, she could be like Yi Zhengyang, with the giant Barbarian God's phantom attached to her body, which was equivalent to obtaining a huge body.
Especially after her improvement, the possessed shadow would turn into the angry-eyed Vajra of Buddhism. She was now trying to condense the shadow for the first time, and she was shaping it according to the appearance of the eight-armed Vajra in the maze.
"Come on, Anan. No matter how much you try to escape, I have become a Ding slave now, and I must practice this technique. Although we are in the Lotus Cave Heaven, I feel that the Nine-headed Dragon can still monitor us. It just doesn't like this shabby place of mine."
Jiang Yuebai called out to Lu Nanzhi, and the two walked out of the warehouse. Everywhere they looked, they saw crisscrossing paths and spiritual fields surrounded by fences, with all kinds of spiritual herbs and flowers planted in them, and there were also some spiritual fruit trees nearby.
The farming puppets regularly cast clouds and rain, the green-armored bees collect nectar, and the little demons drag fist-sized clay pots to water the spiritual fields, eliminate pests, and check the growth of the spiritual plants.
Many of these varieties were grafted by Jiang Yuebai later, with shorter growth cycles and stronger medicinal properties.
There are also elixirs here that she uses to make pills. She bought some living plants in Shimen City before and planted them so she can pick them as needed.
It’s a pity that safety cannot be guaranteed, and Jiang Yuebai can’t concentrate on making the elixir.
Walking past Lingtian, there is a garden with ancient style and charm located by the lake, which is fully equipped with pavilions, towers, rockery and lotus ponds, and was built entirely according to Jiang Yuebai's preferences.
"The spiritual energy here is much richer than before, and the craftsmen found by Xie Jingshan are also very good." Lu Nanzhi praised.
Jiang Yuebai took Lu Nanzhi to the lotus pond in the center of the garden. She had moved the spiritual vein eye she had obtained earlier to the bottom of the lotus pond, so this was the place with the most spiritual energy in the entire Lotus Cave.
"In fact, I prefer the environment outside where spiritual energy and demonic energy coexist."
In the pavilion in the middle of the lotus pond, Jiang Yuebai took out the Heaven-Swallowing Cauldron and sat on either side with Lu Nanzhi.
The reason why she tried to merge here was because everything in the Lotus Cave was under her control and she could better deal with emergencies.
"Chaos gave birth to yin and yang, and after a series of complex changes, it eventually became all kinds of different energies between heaven and earth. After the blood of the nine-headed dragon is thrown in, no matter if it's demonic energy or demonic energy, whatever is there will be thrown in. Chaos is disordered, so there's no need to worry about so many things."
After confirming with Lu Nanzhi, Jiang Yuebai found a black ball of light and used the plundering method to stir up a vortex of spiritual energy above the Heaven-Swallowing Cauldron.
The lid of the cauldron opened, Jiang Yuebai threw out the black light ball, and the nine drops of dragon blood inside were immediately sucked into the cauldron.
Jiang Yuebai glanced at Lu Nanzhi, and injected all the spiritual energy in the golden elixir and the demonic energy in the divine elixir into the cauldron.
Lu Nanzhi also made a hand gesture, and the icy demonic energy surged out.
All the energy was swallowed up by the Heaven-Swallowing Cauldron, and even the spiritual energy in the lotus pond was sucked into it as the spiritual energy vortex above it rotated.
The Heaven-Swallowing Cauldron was like an insatiable glutton; it could only go in but not out, and no changes occurred.
Jiang Yuebai even felt that the long-suppressed hunger of the Heaven-Swallowing Cauldron was erupting, and his desire for more energy was becoming stronger and stronger.
Jiang Yuebai frowned, and the white hair behind him fluttered and condensed into two white vine clones. He separated two divine thoughts to control the white vine clones and injected the Phoenix True Fire and Earth Evil Fire into the cauldron.
Lu Nanzhi also continued to increase the stakes. The Bingpo Sword flew up from behind her and hung in the air. The sword intent was like an ice crystal tide, rushing into the cauldron in waves.
Still not enough!
Jiang Yuebai waved his leaf hand in his sea of consciousness, and two bolts of lightning, one black and one white, struck down from the sky.
Guishui Thunder and Jianggong Thunder!
There was a dazzling light and flashing lightning in the Heaven-Swallowing Cauldron, with all kinds of energies mixed in it, but there was no violent collision at all.
It's like a drop in the ocean, leaving people with no hope at all.
This went on for an hour, and then the two men stopped when they were exhausted. The Heaven-Swallowing Cauldron returned to calm, and the lid of the cauldron closed. Jiang Yuebai was still tormented by the hunger deep in his soul.
Jiang Yuebai couldn't help but complain.
Lu Nanzhi's face turned pale, and he took a breath and said, "Don't be too impatient. There is a reason why the nine-headed dragon gave you thirty years. Over time, you will eventually feed it."
Seeing that Lu Nanzhi was exhausted and weak, Jiang Yuebai stood up, held her shoulders, and took Lu Nanzhi out of the Lotus Cave, to the outside to absorb the demonic energy to recover.
"It looks like some of them are going to die. Wait for me, I'll go get some blood from the Nine-headed Dragon!"
Jiang Yuebai went down into the abyss again, but was thrown out in less than a cup of tea and returned empty-handed.
She did not give up, and continued as usual every day. She would first inject all her body energy into the Heaven-Swallowing Cauldron with Lu Nanzhi. After the Heaven-Swallowing Cauldron was closed, she would go to the Nine-Headed Dragon to cry poor.
Nine times out of ten she would be thrown back, but that one time the nine-headed dragon might be in a good mood and squeeze some blood for her.
As long as the nine-headed dragon was still willing to spit out blood, Jiang Yuebai would not give up and would come to cry every now and then.
While Jiang Yuebai was concentrating on dealing with the nine-headed dragon, Lu Nanzhi was not idle either. While Jiang Yuebai was attracting the attention of the nine-headed dragon, he went to investigate the nine dragon heads around the abyss one by one.
Lu Nanzhi discovered that the chain that locked the black coffin was connected to the mouths of the nine dragon heads, which in turn locked the nine-headed dragon below. It is very likely that there is even more space in the mouths of the nine dragon heads.
But just like above, there is a dragon restriction in the dragon head's mouth.
During one of Lu Nanzhi's investigations, she saw Xing Chou slip into the mouth of Zhulong's dragon head. She had not been in there for long. They looked at each other at that time. Lu Nanzhi felt that Xing Chou wanted to break through the restriction, but failed.
With Lu Nanzhi by his side this time, Jiang Yuebai was able to stay calm. The two encouraged each other and treated each other as if they were going through a life-or-death struggle.
Apart from feeding the tripod every day, he practices cultivation.
Before Lu Nanzhi was trapped here, she had already exchanged all the spirit stones on her body for various sword techniques and sword manuals, and practiced and studied hard every day. She had a complete Ice Demon inheritance and had no plans to learn the "Chaos Nirvana Technique".
Lu Nanzhi focused on swordsmanship, and only at Jiang Yuebai's suggestion did he try to practice the "Barbarian God Skill" with demonic energy. This skill is considered a relatively comprehensive body-building skill that can enhance one's strength and defense.
Jiang Yuebai is the same, not wasting a minute of time.
It’s a pity that there is no cultivation panel to assist her now. She doesn’t know her daily progress and sometimes gets annoyed because she doesn’t feel any reward.
Lu Nanzhi, on the other hand, is not like that. She is very calm. Daily meditation and sword practice have become a habit for her. Whether she gains anything or not will not cause her too much emotional fluctuations. As long as she persists, it will be fine.
Jiang Yuebai knew that she was too dependent on the cultivation panel, had never experienced the boring and dull practice, could not feel the process of gaining rewards, and had not been tempered to have a calm heart.
She was too eager to make progress, too eager to gain, and too afraid of wasting time on useless work. The cultivation panel could let her know whether her direction was right or wrong at the first moment.
Unlike now, everything depends on persistence. It takes a long time to know the results from quantitative change to qualitative change.
As expected, the shortcut you take at the beginning will require you to pay double the price in the end.
Jiang Yuebai suppressed his desire to peek at the cultivation panel. Whenever he felt irritated, he would go find the nine-headed dragon to report his cultivation progress and ask for its blood. He would fight wits and courage with it as a way to exercise his brain power and observation skills.
In the dark underground space, there was no sunrise or moonset, no changing of seasons, and Jiang Yuebai could hardly feel the passage of time.
Only on the black rock wall were there traces left by her and Lu Nanzhi, each of which represented that they had completed their daily practice plan of eleven hours, without wasting a single day.
I don’t know how long it took, probably five or six years, or maybe seven or eight years, but there was no place on the rock wall where any marks could be left.
On this day, the sound of muffled thunder seemed to come from the sky, and the entire underground space suddenly shook violently.
A powerful spiritual energy wave came from Xingchou, and Jiang Yuebai looked over in surprise.
Is Xingchou going to have a baby
