Chapter 129 The Qi of the True Dragon and the Golden Dragon Carp
The so-called true dragon's breath is the breath left by the true dragon.
In other words, in the lake in front of Chu Tianchen, a real dragon was born, or a real dragon once occupied it.
In the Lingwu Continent, dragons are already quite rare and top-notch exotic beasts.
As for mythical beasts like true dragons, they only exist in legends and are rare to see in thousands of years.
For example, the ice dragon armor Chu Tianchen is wearing is made by Snow Fairy using the scales of the ice dragon.
And that ice true dragon is the only true dragon that has appeared on the Lingwu Continent in the past three thousand years.
Of course, this is only the news that Chu Tianchen knows so far.
"It seems that Yuxiao Sect is really a hidden dragon and a crouching tiger, and should not be underestimated.
Even if it only occupies a high-grade spiritual vein, it is not as good as the top-grade spiritual veins and fake springs of Qingshan Sword Sect, but its strength is not weaker than Qingshan Sword Sect..."
Chu Tianchen made a general comment and flew to a big rock by the lake to sit cross-legged.
"With such abundant spiritual energy and beautiful lakes and mountains, it is an excellent place for self-cultivation and enlightenment... Let me try to see how it works."
With this thought flashing through his mind, Chu Tianchen began to use the Hongmeng Creation Technique and quickly swallowed the spiritual energy of heaven and earth to practice.
He is like a bottomless pit, swallowing up the spiritual energy of heaven and earth from all directions at an extremely fast speed.
A gentle breeze began to blow in the originally peaceful valleys and lakes.
The surface of the lake, which was calm just now, immediately started to ripple.
Even the colorful spiritual mist above the lake was pulled and turned into thousands of threads, rushing toward Chu Tianchen.
The rich aura of heaven and earth formed a cloud around him, like a big cocoon, wrapping him up.
After all the spiritual energy was swallowed by him, it was converted into pure spiritual power and sent to Hongmeng.
As time passed, the tranquility of the valley and the lake was completely broken.
The wind became a little noisy, the lake surface actually stirred up waves two feet high, and the sky was also filled with stormy clouds.
Chu Tianchen concentrated on swallowing the spiritual energy, and just wanted to take this opportunity to help Hongmeng give birth to the ninth bud.
It would be great if the buds could be turned into green leaves again.
However, just as he was concentrating on practicing, a ray of blue light flew from a distance and landed on the lake in front of him.
"Whoosh!"
After the green light dissipated, an old man wearing a bamboo hat and gray robe appeared.
The old man is tall, with a ruddy complexion, a chest-length beard and a head full of silver-white hair.
He held a green bamboo pole in his hand and stared at Chu Tianchen with a frown, a flash of doubt and surprise in his eyes.
Although Chu Tianchen was wrapped in colorful spiritual energy, the old man could easily see through it and see his true state.
Chu Tianchen also sensed someone approaching and quickly ended his practice.
When the colorful 'cocoons' dissipated, he stared at the old man in a bamboo hat above the water and stood up subconsciously.
Before he could ask who the old man was and what his purpose was, the old man showed an angry face and asked: "Boy, who are you?
Why did you break into Weiran Lake and make such a big noise, making it impossible for me to continue fishing?"
Chu Tianchen looked at the old man, and various thoughts quickly flashed through his mind.
"This is within the mountain-protecting formation, and it is the place with the most abundant spiritual energy in the world. It is probably some kind of forbidden area, holy land or the like.
Although this old man with a white beard is dressed very ordinary, his strength and aura are unfathomable.
Compared with the Supreme Elder of Qingshan Sword Sect, he is only stronger than weak.
From this point of view, this old man is probably a senior and strong man of the Yuxiao Sect."
With some calculation in his mind, Chu Tianchen clasped his fists and saluted the old man, and said in a tone that was neither humble nor arrogant: "Junior Chu Tianchen, I have met my senior.
The junior was invited to be a guest of Yuxiao Sect. He is new here and not familiar with the situation.
Just seeing that this place has enough spiritual energy, the junior came here to practice, hoping to take the opportunity to break through the realm.
I didn’t know that senior was fishing in the lake, which disturbed senior’s enjoyment. I’m really sorry.”
Seeing that Chu Tianchen responded calmly, with a very decent look and demeanor, the old man in a bamboo hat stroked his beard and thought to himself: "I was invited to be a guest, and you are new here?
Was this guy brought by Wu Zhige?
Although this boy has the strength of the seventh level of the Emperor Realm at a young age, his bones and talents are also excellent, and he can be called a genius that only happens once in a thousand years.
However, Wu Zhige actually gave him the purple robe that symbolized the position of the sect leader?
This is so abnormal!”
So, the old man held the green bamboo pole, pointed at Chu Tianchen's clothes, and asked: "Boy, who gave you these clothes?"
"The maid said that the deputy sect master asked them to send it." Chu Tianchen answered truthfully.
The old man had expected it and was not surprised. He asked again: "Your surname is Chu, and the sect leader is also surnamed Chu. What is your relationship?"
Chu Tianchen raised his eyebrows and said with a smile: "This is also a question I am eager to find out!
The sect leader was in retreat at Tianxing Mountain, and the deputy sect leader sent someone to summon him.
Perhaps, there will be news in a few days."
The white-haired old man was confident and stopped asking this question.
He raised the green bamboo pole in his hand again and asked Chu Tianchen with lingering anger: "I have been guarding for three months, and I saw that the golden dragon and carp were about to take the bait, but you kid messed it up.
You have made my three months of hard work go to waste, how should I settle this account?"
"Uh..." Chu Tianchen looked at the old man's angry expression, then looked at the bare green bamboo pole about two feet long, and couldn't help showing doubts.
"Senior, how can you fish with just a bare bamboo pole?"
He had reason to suspect that the old man had just found an excuse and deliberately made trouble.
The old man's beard trembled with anger, and he said angrily: "Swinging and fishing is a matter of cultivating one's moral character and enlightening one's mind.
How can you understand the truth behind this?"
"Since we are cultivating our moral character, senior, please let go of your anger quickly."
Chu Tianchen persuaded me and said with a smile: "I really don't know how to fish, so I would like to ask my seniors to clarify their doubts."
Seeing that he had no intention of denying and his attitude was correct, the old man's anger dissipated a lot.
He stroked his white beard and said slowly: "What I am holding in my hand is not an ordinary bamboo pole.
This is Qingyun Lingzhu, which takes six hundred years to mature. It is not only the best medicinal material and tool refining material, but also can perfectly transmit spiritual power.
Moreover, I used the magic of talisman formations to bless it, giving it a power comparable to that of an imperial magic weapon."
"That's it." Chu Tianchen nodded to show that he was taught, and then asked: "Even if this Qingyun Lingzhu is not a mortal thing, how can you fish with only a bamboo pole?"
Speaking of this, the old man showed a hint of pride, stroking his beard and said: "This requires me to use my original fishing method for stars!
I squatted in the center of Weiran Lake and used a secret method to become invisible and cover my energy, so that I could hide it from the perception of the golden dragon and carp.
Then, I released my spiritual power through Qingyun Lingzhu, condensed it into a thread, and extended it into Weiran Lake.
The silk thread is a hundred feet long and reaches deep into the center of the lake, still condensing without breaking up.
The golden dragon carp is both greedy and cautious. As long as it senses the existence of the spiritual power thread, it will definitely approach gradually.
When it relaxes its vigilance and feels safe, it will swallow the spiritual power thread.
At that time, I can use the Star Reaching Technique to capture the golden dragon and carp..."
Chu Tianchen understood what the old man meant as soon as he heard it, and immediately showed a look of wonder.
"No fishing line or hook is needed, just spiritual power condensed into a line.
It can be used as both bait and fishing line, and it can also trap and capture golden dragon carps...
Such a magical fishing method has never been heard of by younger generations. Today is really an eye-opener!"
Seeing Chu Tianchen's sincere praise, which did not seem like a deliberate compliment, the old man's anger disappeared and he felt happier.
He even liked Chu Tianchen a lot.
Chu Tianchen continued to ask: "Senior, how rare is that golden dragon and carp that you have been holding on for three months and still haven't been able to capture it?"
When talking about the golden dragon and carp, the old man's eyes sparkled with hope and expectation.
"The so-called golden dragon carps were originally the golden carps in Weiran Lake. There were quite a few of them, and they were just ordinary spiritual beasts.
But this is not the lake. A real dragon once lived here, leaving a lot of real dragon aura.
Some gifted golden carps absorbed a large amount of true dragon aura during their growth process, causing mutations.
After the mutation, the Golden Dragon and Carp can be said to be completely reborn and soar into the sky.
It is not only a top spiritual beast, but also contains a lot of dragon energy, and may transform into a dragon in the future.
Even if you don't feed it, it is still a top medicinal material and food. Taking it can greatly increase your power and extend your life.
Even, with some body refining secrets, you can create the body of a true dragon, and your strength and defense will be greatly improved.
It's a pity that the golden dragon and carp have opened their spiritual wisdom and are very cautious and smart.
Although it is very greedy, it likes to devour spiritual energy and natural and earthly treasures.
But it is very alert and will not approach easily if there is any abnormality.
I persisted for three months and finally attracted the attention of a golden dragon and carp.
It also secretly observed and tested for more than two months, and had long since dispelled its wariness.
Recently, it has shown signs of swallowing up spiritual power threads.
In two or three days at most, it will definitely take the bait... and it will all be messed up by you!"
Having said this, the old man couldn't help but glare at Chu Tianchen.
Chu Tianchen smiled awkwardly, and then asked in confusion: "Senior, please forgive me for being frank, this Weiran Lake is only a few dozen miles in radius, and its deepest point is only over a hundred feet.
With your strength and magical powers, you can seal the entire lake and capture the Golden Dragon Carp directly, so why bother?"
The old man rolled his eyes and said angrily: "What do you know? If it's really that simple, do I still need you to remind me?
The golden dragon carp is very intelligent and extremely fast.
Weiran Lake may not seem big, but in fact there are many holes and secret passages at the bottom of the lake, leading to all directions.
Once the golden dragon carp encounters danger, it will escape through those secret passages and holes.
If it really can't escape, it will explode and die, and its spirituality and dragon energy will disappear.
In that case, even if I catch it, it will lose its value and effectiveness."
Chu Tianchen couldn't help but retort: "Then when you caught it, wouldn't it also explode if it sensed danger?"
"How is that possible?"
The old man looked proudly and said: "I have added the power of the soul to the spiritual power thread, which can not only seal it quickly, but also make it lose consciousness and be unable to struggle or resist!"
