The dragon beads of the Dragon Clan are a condensation of a body's strength, and are a kind of existence related to life, just like the Yuanying and Yuanshen of the ascetics, or the demon elixir of the demon clan. Of course, this concentration of strength mainly refers to mana, and does not include the powerful physical strength of the Dragon Clan.
In Ye Zan's database, there are a lot of information or legends about ancient times. It is recorded that dragons will leave dragon beads after death. The Dragon Clan has reproduced for countless years, and even though it has a very long lifespan, it is not immortal. Therefore, in his opinion, dragon beads should not be very rare among the dragon clan, and may have more of a commemorative significance.
However, in the face of Ye Zan's statement, Ao Yu sneered back and said: "Where did fellow Taoist get the information? Although my clan's dragon beads are different from the Yuanying and Yuanshen of human cultivators, they are different from each other. There are similarities in some respects. Do those human cultivators leave their Yuan Ying and Yuan Shen behind after they die?"
Of course Ao Yu knew that there were some special methods in this world that could preserve the Yuanying and Yuanshen after the death of the ascetics, and could even be used to refine elixirs and magic weapons. However, when he followed Ye Zan's wishes and said this, he obviously did not include those special means, but only considered normal death situations.
Moreover, even among human cultivators, taking other people's Yuanying and Yuanshen to refine pills and weapons has always been denounced as demonic. Except for those who would do anything for the sake of strength, normal people would not play with the Yuanying and Yuanshen of their relatives and elders.
Therefore, under normal circumstances, whether a cultivator dies or is released from military service and rebuilds his life, his magic power will eventually return to the world of heaven and earth.
After hearing Ao Yu's rhetorical question, Ye Zan couldn't help but frown slightly and said, "Ao Daoyour means that the dragon beads of the dragon clan will also dissipate between heaven and earth after the death of the dragon clan?"
Ye Zan didn't know anything about Dragon Balls. After all, he "borrowed" four Dragon Balls and had done some research on them to a certain extent. Therefore, he was very interested in Dragon Balls, even as much as he was in the best magic weapons, so he proposed to Ao Yu to replace the best magic weapons with Dragon Balls.
But then, Ye Zan thought of Ao Yu's previous response. The other party did not directly reject the matter, but said that he could not produce eight dragon balls. This shows that it’s not that the Dragon Clan doesn’t have ownerless Dragon Balls, it’s just that they don’t have or don’t want to take out as many as eight.
"Fellow Daoist Ao, from what you said before, there should be some exceptions, right?" Before Ao Yu could respond to the previous question, Ye Zan followed up by asking.
Ao Yu did not mean to hide it, but nodded calmly and said: "Yes, just like you human monks, there are indeed some situations in our clan where dragon beads will be left behind after death. For example, those who were killed The evil dragons who were sent to the dragon-slaying platform, as well as those of the same race who died in some accidents, may have kept the dragon beads. "
In fact, what Ao Yu said can be summed up in two words, that is "unexpected death".
As Ao Yu and Ye Zan said before, whether it is the dragon beads of the dragon clan or the Yuanying and Yuanshen of the human cultivators, an important factor in dissipation is death. For example, in some magic ways, if someone seizes a person's Yuanying or Yuanshen, he must kill the other person instead of waiting for the other person to die of old age. Isn't that "a violent death"
The same goes for the Dragon Clan.
Although, in ancient times, the Dragon Clan was a powerful force second only to the Immortal Court, and it seemed that no one should dare to provoke them. But in fact, in addition to being beheaded by the Immortal Court at every turn, the Dragon Clan also has some powerful and daring people who want to cause trouble for them.
However, for the dragon that was chopped into pieces by the Immortal Court, the dragon beads would definitely stay in the Immortal Court, and even the bones would be taken care of by the Immortal Court. Otherwise, is the term "dragon liver and phoenix marrow" really just a metaphor, used to describe other delicacies
As for those dragons who were killed by lawless people, the results were no different from those who were killed on the Dragon Platform. If it wasn't for the Dragon Balls and the "treasure" of the Dragon Clan, who would go and provoke the Dragon Clan
In other words, although those dragons who died suddenly had a chance to keep the dragon beads, it was unlikely that those dragon beads would return to the hands of the dragons.
However, in addition to the two mentioned above, there is another situation where dragons can die violently, and that is "struggle" within the same clan. After all, in such a large ethnic group, there will always be some "evils" in it, and "family laws" will be enforced for various reasons. In that case, the last remaining dragon beads will fall into the hands of the dragon clan themselves.
Ye Zan quickly thought of this after listening to Ao Yu's words, but it was not easy to inquire about other people's privacy. Moreover, he could also hear that the reason why Ao Yu said this was partly to gain the face of the dragon clan. After all, taking out the dragon balls of one's own clan will make the dragon clan somewhat suspect of betraying his clan, and may even make him feel how cold-blooded the dragon clan is.
"Fellow Daoist Ao, as an outsider, I don't want to ask more questions about where the dragon beads came from. Fellow Taoist, I'd better say how many dragon beads you can come up with." Ye Zan skipped the question about the origin of the dragon beads and directly asked about the most important thing about him. issue concerned.
Ao Yu originally thought that when Ye Zan asked further, he would explain the specific origin of the dragon beads, so that the dragon clan would not be misunderstood. Unexpectedly, Ye Zan skipped this question, causing him to hold back some of the things he had already thought about.
Of course, Ye Zan's lack of asking questions is not a bad thing for the Dragon Clan. It means that everyone is confused and doesn't mention anything.
Although this gave Ao Yu no chance to explain, the other party did not imply anything bad. As for what the other party thinks, that's not anyone's business. Could it be that if you give a seemingly good explanation, the other party will not think of the worst at all
Ao Yu shook his head and said without further explanation, "I just thought about it and I can only take out four dragon balls at most."
Ao Yu could only take out four dragon balls, not that the dragon clan only had four dragon balls. Ao Yu's words were quite candid. After all, from Ao Yu's side, exchanging dragon beads for top-quality magic weapons is indeed profitable as Ye Zan said. If possible, Ao Yu would probably be very willing to take out the eight dragon balls and settle the account of the eight top-quality magic weapons.
And this means that apart from the four dragon balls, Ao Yu really has no way to take out more dragon balls.
Ye Zan understood Ao Yu's meaning, so he did not inquire further, but nodded and said: "As for the four dragon beads, although it is a little difficult to separate, it is okay. However, I also want to confirm with fellow Taoist, this What is the grade of the four dragon beads? If the dragon beads brought by fellow Taoist are only at the Yuan Shen level, or even at the Yuan Ying level, they cannot be compared to the best magic weapons."
"Fellow Taoist can rest assured about this. The four Dragon Balls I mentioned can all be called Tongtian level in your words. However, fellow Taoists should also know that the Dragon Ball is just a Dragon Ball after all, even if it is a Tongtian level It is impossible for the remaining dragons of the highest level to truly reach the level of Tongtian," Ao Yu said with certainty, and at the same time gave Ye Zan a vaccination to explain a problem with the dragon beads in advance.
This question is actually not difficult to understand. After all, no matter how good the Dragon Ball is, it is just the condensed all the magic power of a dragon. The strength of the Dragon Clan, in terms of the Heaven-reaching level, is the result of a combination of magical power and physical strength. Although simple addition and subtraction cannot be done in this aspect, it is indeed impossible for the Dragon Ball to represent the peak strength of a dragon.
"Thank you, Fellow Daoist Ao, for telling me. Of course, I can understand this issue." Ye Zan did take this into consideration, so he was not surprised at all by Ao Yu's statement.
"It's good that fellow Taoist can understand, then these four dragon beads are finalized?" Ao Yu saw that Ye Zan had no objection, and was also anxious to finalize the matter. Using four dragon balls in exchange for four top-quality magic weapons, although it is not a real exchange, it can be considered a profit for the dragon clan.
"Okay, this matter is settled!" Ye Zan also said happily. For him, being able to get four heaven-level dragon balls, even if the "Tongtian level" is discounted, is definitely better than buying more high-grade magic weapons.
Dragon Balls are basically not of much use to the Dragon Clan, but they are of great use to ascetics.
Let’s not talk about refining alchemy and refining weapons. In terms of pure cultivation, the dragon beads contain the innate power of the dragon clan. The innate power of the dragon clan, to put it bluntly, is the innate mastery of a certain avenue. For example, the power of thunder that Ao Yu used before is actually the innate power.
Therefore, ascetics use the dragon beads to understand the innate power in the dragon beads, which is actually a closer understanding of the great avenue of heaven and earth. Moreover, as long as the ascetics have a certain degree of enlightenment, even if they have not truly mastered this avenue, they can still use the Dragon Ball to exert the power of this avenue.
For example, if someone obtains Ao Yu's dragon ball, as long as he has a certain understanding of the power of thunder in the dragon ball, he can use this dragon ball to exert the power of thunder. The reason why I say that you need to have a certain understanding is mainly because you have to know the characteristics of this power, at least not to use the power of thunder as the power of water.
In addition, Dragon Balls are also useful for cultivating the external incarnation or the second soul. This dragon ball itself has innate power and huge mana. You don't need to go out of your way to cultivate this clone. You only need to attach a ray of soul, and this will be a powerful clone. Perhaps, the strength possessed by this clone will be stronger than your original body.
Of course, Ye Zan wants the Dragon Ball. Apart from these considerations, the most important thing is for his daughter and apprentice. Although his daughter Ye Linglong can be regarded as having true dragon blood, she was originally just a golden python and could not inherit the dragon clan out of thin air. As for his disciple Shi Lin, his bloodline is the dragon bloodline from the outer world, and he is probably only a distant relative to the dragon clan.
Therefore, for Ye Linglong and Shi Lin, Dragon Ball can undoubtedly make up for some of their own shortcomings to a certain extent.
As for Xiao Ba, he is a real son of a true dragon, and his bloodline is even stronger than those of the current dragons. There is no need for the Dragon Ball to be the icing on the cake.
Although, it is only four dragon balls. According to what Ye Zan said before, they are not distributed like other things. He alone needs at least two Dragon Balls, but the remaining two Dragon Balls have to be divided among four allies, which seems to be a bit troublesome. However, this matter is not unavoidable. Dragon Balls can be replaced with other things. Wouldn't it be nice to give allies some other things.
"Okay, then, there are four more top-quality magic weapons. I wonder what else you need?" Seeing that the matter was settled, Ao Yu also let out a sigh of relief, and then asked about the remaining items while the iron was hot. account.
"These four top-quality magic weapons are left... Are you sure, Fellow Daoist Ao, that there are no more Dragon Balls?" Ye Zan asked half-jokingly. Seeing Ao Yu simply shaking his head in refusal, he had to continue: "Okay, what's left?" For these four top-quality magic weapons, I hope Fellow Daoist Ao can provide some information about the Dragon Clan, as well as the inheritance of the Dragon Clan in cultivation, and some of the privileges of our sect and the four allies in the Yunhai Domain."
The things Ye Zan said may sound like a lot, but after all, they are the value of four top-quality magic weapons, and these alone may not be enough to match them. However, in order to make Ao Yu feel "sincerity" and not compromise on these requirements, Ye Zan did not want to be too fussy.
"This... I can understand that fellow Taoist wants the privileges of Yunhai Realm, but with this information about Longmen and the inheritance of my clan's cultivation, I don't know what you really mean?" Ao Yu heard what Ye Zan said. asked, suddenly feeling quite puzzled.
Dragon Gate, to put it bluntly, is the Dragon Clan's teleportation circle. At most, it has some other functions in the way of space. However, the human race already has a teleportation circle, which is no worse than Longmen in all aspects. More importantly, the Yuqing Sect has mastered several teleportation arrays. Not only are the sect and its allies connected by teleportation arrays, there are even several teleportation arrays for others to use.
As for the inheritance of dragon cultivation, every aspect is based on the characteristics of the dragon, and not just anyone can learn it. Moreover, if you really want to talk about it, the dragon clan's cultivation inheritance is not necessarily any better than the human clan's Taoism.
In fact, the strength of the Dragon Clan is not all created by this inheritance of cultivation. What really makes them powerful is their "genes", or the so-called blood power. Simply talking about the inheritance of cultivation, some Taoist inheritance on the human side, people with high qualifications can become immortals in a hundred years, but it is impossible for the dragon tribe to do this. From this point of view, it is enough to prove that there is really nothing brilliant about the inheritance of the Dragon Clan.
"Well, there's no need to ask fellow Taoist Ao. Since I mentioned this, I am of course of use. Fellow Taoist only needs to consider whether this transaction is feasible." Ye Zan did not say his purpose, but directly Ask Ao Yu the result.
