[Bingshen, Year of the Monkey, September 11]
It was a wrong decision. I should have taken the teleportation array directly to cross the Thousand Lakes Forest under Cuiyun Ridge. I thought this jungle was called Thousand Lakes Forest in a figurative way, but I didn't expect the name to be so realistic.
There are really a thousand lakes of various sizes in the Thousand Lakes Forest!
It’s too big. I’ve been here for more than half a month. Although I’m not lost, I feel like I can’t get out in the short term.
I left Bai Jiuyou in the Lotus Cave Heaven, where he practiced the improved "Barbarian Divine Art" and "Golden Snake Sword Palm" every day.
It took me half a year to master these two skills, but Bai Jiuyou only practiced them once.
Although I am not a genius and my aptitude has only improved little by little later on, I am already the top in the Earth Spirit World and no one else can even dream of it. When compared with the Chaos Holy Body, I am simply crushed into rubbish.
With the same level of comprehension, Bai Jiuyou is destined to learn faster than me. It's all my fault. I'm not jealous of myself, but it just feels a little weird.
This is good. Bai Jiuyou will learn it first and overcome the difficulties. Then I can learn it later. It will be more efficient.
Moreover, the Chaos Holy Body can learn anything. I can let Bai Jiuyou learn and experience the magic techniques that I didn’t dare to try before, and my original body can then look for things to learn from them.
When the skills are improved and integrated in the future, Bai Jiuyou can try it first to make sure there are no problems, and then correct the details before the main body learns.
Now that the five elements magic has been integrated, it can be handed over to Bai Jiuyou.
As for those dragon bones of medium and low quality, Bai Jiuyou must refine them all into dragon armor puppets. He had cleared out the inventory in order to escape, and it still hurts to think about it now.
Accumulate Dragon Armor Puppets as early as possible. If you have enough of them, you can kill a group of people easily.
As for me, I will start concentrating on refining the Evil-Breaking Pill for forming an infant, and I will use most of the remaining spirit stones on me to buy medicinal herbs.
Now I really have no money left!

Today I finally managed to refine an alchemy furnace. The material used is fire dragon bones. It doesn't look like a cauldron, but more like a frying pan. But strangely, this shape actually heats more evenly and makes the pills faster. It may also have the effect of the fire dragon bones.
Recently I have been reading the jade slips that Anan gave me, as well as the books about Zhulong that I bought in Shimen City.
The six pieces of broken bones in my hand are not Zhulong bones. It is said that Zhulong bones appear white during the day and turn black at night.
I touched Bai Jiuyou's body and found that she had no missing bones. God knows what kind of bone this is.

Heading southwest, I don’t know when I can get out of the thousands of lakes and forests and reach the Qingcang Mountains where the Fulong Sect is located.
The Mahayana Immortal Lord of the Biyou Palace controls the last blue dragon in the Azure Dragon Realm, while the Fulong Sect imprisoned the last two blue dragons in the Azure Dragon Realm.
The key jade talisman of the big dog thief is still in my hand. If I'm not mistaken, he is a disciple of the Fulong Sect. Since he is on the way, I can go over and take a look.
When I passed by Lingyan Lake two days ago, I saw two disciples of the Zhenwu Immortal Sect who were out for training. One of them was carrying a spear, and his spear skills felt a bit like those of the Little Dog Zei.
Maybe that little thief is a disciple of Zhenwu Immortal Sect. I have to remind Xie Jingshan later.

Bai Jiuyou and I finally dismantled the remains of the nine-headed dragon, and collected a lot of skin, flesh, blood, and bones.
Extracting essence from blood requires specific methods to have a high success rate, just like when I used animal souls to extract essence.
Fortunately, this method is not difficult to find. All you need is a flower spirit stone. The dragon herders of the two veins of Fulong and Fulong often collect various dragon blood and refine the essence blood.
It is very likely that the Azure Dragon's blood essence that the demon Hun Tian obtained back then was refined using this method.
I found nine different dragon vertebrae in the spine of the nine-headed dragon. I guess that the nine-headed dragon is a mutant artificially created by Zhu Jiuyou.
Part of the spine of the Nine Dragons was taken and injected into the body of the Nine-headed Flood Dragon, which was then nourished with the Nine Dragons' essence and blood. The purpose was to allow it to gain the power of the nine divine dragons at the same time.
Those six broken bones do overlap with the nine vertebrae. When practicing Dragon God Transformation, I now have two choices.
One is to start repairing with the Zhulong bone among the nine vertebrae.
The other one was to take a gamble and use six broken bones to repair it.
The spine of Zhulong must be the strongest. I also have the nine sections of the body of the Nine-headed Dragon in my hands. The scales, bones and blood on the section that evolved into Zhulong can be used to refine essence and blood to maintain cultivation for a period of time.
The disadvantage is, of course, that if this amount of stock is not enough, the last level of "Dragon God Transformation" still requires dragon souls, and it will be almost impossible to find Zhulong later.
When I used six broken bones to start practicing "Dragon God Transformation", I was considering the original bloodline of the nine-headed dragon. It can perfectly accommodate the spines and blood essences of nine dragons and it has lived for so long, which shows that its bloodline itself is special.
By using this to start practicing "Dragon God Transformation", I will most likely be able to use the blood essence of all dragon scales and bones to continue practicing, just like refining blood essence, with the accumulation of large quantities, it will achieve a qualitative change.
I'm having trouble deciding right now, I'll think about it for a few days.
It’s raining heavily tonight, and I feel really depressed. With such a vast forest of thousands of lakes, there must be a market where we can have a rest, right
Look for it!

[Bingshen, Year of the Monkey, November 20]
We stayed in the market town by the Qingyu Lake for a few days. The market town was not big, there was no Immortal Alliance headquarters, and we could not check the letters.
Today I finally saw a real dragon shepherd, a Jindan Zhenren from the Fulong Sect. He used rune chains to control three dragons, galloping through the sky above the market town, looking very majestic.
There are also many independent cultivators who specialize in dragon hunting and herding in this market. They go deep into the jungle every day to look for traces of dragons.
Although this place is far away from the West Sea, the war in the West Sea still has some impact on this place. The most obvious thing is that the prices of various dragons are skyrocketing, and even the price of the Jiaolong has increased a lot.
A dragon herder's main means of fighting the enemy relies heavily on dragons. Only a dragon herder with a dragon can exert the strongest combat power. Without a dragon, it is equivalent to crippling both his arms.
Now that I think about it, I was lucky that the big dog thief didn’t bring a dragon to kill me, otherwise I would have died the first time I met him.
I asked about the Soul-Dangling Stone in the market town, but none of the local businesses had heard of this name. However, some people had heard of a spiritual fruit with similar uses, called the Soul Infant Fruit.
This fruit grows in the mountains and forests near Mochou Lake, which is the territory of grass dragons.
They say that the grass dragon is not a particularly powerful dragon, but it has a unique advantage in the thousands of lakes and forests. It is elusive and difficult to completely eliminate. Like an earthworm, it can be reborn even if it is cut into several pieces.
Therefore, dragon hunting monks are most reluctant to hunt grass dragons, it is too annoying!
I bought a map and found that Mochou Lake is in the north, so I need to backtrack a bit.
The Soul-Stirring Stone is extremely important to me. If the Soul Infant really has almost the same effect as that person said, then what's wrong with me making a trip to Mochou Lake
It’s just right. I’ll try to see if the “Dragon Shepherd’s Song” that I’ve been practicing for a long time can catch a dragon.
I've been so poor lately that even though I'm a Jindan Zhenren, I can't bear to let go of any low-level spiritual medicines and fruits I come across on the road. I cut down every few trees in the woods and throw them to the Tianding.
I have to find a way to earn spirit stones quickly, otherwise I won’t be able to afford the method to refine essence and blood.

As we approached Mochou Lake, we encountered a dragon hunting team fighting fiercely in the forest.
Take a look, hoping to find a bargain!
