"Dragon tendons...the dragon tendons of the True Dragon Emperor!"
The elders of the Zheng family looked at each other in confusion, their eyes flickering, obviously they were quite shocked.
Throughout the history of China, the dragon clan has been the lord of China. Even though it spanned two eras, it has now retreated to the world. It is still in alliance with the human race and controls the water veins of the world. I have never heard of anyone using real dragon materials to make treasures.
?
Even the alliance between the human race and the dragon race was originally just to check the strength of the dragon race. However, the dragon race was in a period of decline. Facing the invasion of the barbarians and monsters, and even the invasion of demons from outside the territory, they had to compromise and give out a few sets in the name of gifts.
The remains of the real dragon gave rise to important treasures such as the dragon-binding rope that later shocked the demon clan and made the dragon clan regret it!
"Is this enough?"
Wu Ming said calmly.
"That's enough. This treasure is perfect for strengthening the keel!"
Zheng Chonglong nodded hurriedly, and with trembling hands, he took two dragon tendons that looked like hemp ropes but were actually extremely tough and difficult to be damaged by treasures. He rubbed them as if caressing the tender skin of a virgin.
Wu Ming felt a chill and secretly communicated with Chang Shu to make sure that the Zheng family did not cut corners or intentionally cause harm.
"Well, I wonder...do you have a complete dragon scale in your hand?"
After Zheng Chonglong whispered to his brothers, he hesitated slightly.
"have!"
Wu Ming nodded slightly.
"Since you have chosen me, the Zheng family, to refine the treasure ship, you should know that my ancestors of the Zheng family once got a fragment of a picture of the Zhoutian Sea of Stars. This picture contains extremely profound formations and other wonderful principles. Unfortunately, future generations have not been able to understand it.
The secret is only a trace of the essence of the formation!"
Zheng Chonglong rubbed his hands nervously, carefully observed Wu Ming's face, and gritted his teeth and said, "If you are willing to give up a pair of real dragon scales, I am willing to carve this formation on the dragon boat at any cost. If successful,
Although it is impossible to directly achieve a Taoist weapon, it can directly possess the foundation of the Taoist weapon. If it cannot be achieved... at most it will be a waste... a waste of true dragon scales!"
"Oh, aren't you afraid that I will covet this picture?"
Wu Ming said with a half-smile.
"If you want to rob it, although our Zheng family has the ability to resist, it will inevitably incur irreparable losses!"
Zheng Chonglong seemed to have looked away and said bravely, "Instead of waiting for Your Excellency to speak, we might as well open the skylight and speak openly. In fact, our Zheng family does not lack first-class shipwrights, but due to limited skills, we have been unable to refine a real Taoist ship. If Your Excellency does not pursue it,
If the refining fails, there is no harm in giving this treasure map to you!"
"hehe!"
Wu Ming smiled brightly.
This old guy is very smart. He keeps a treasure map that his family won't need, so why not exchange it for an opportunity that can bring great improvement to the family.
Regardless of whether it fails or not, the loss is just a treasure map that has consumed many generations of the Zheng family's efforts and yielded little in return!
"Lord, promise him!"
Suddenly, Changshu conveyed the message in a cryptic way.
"Can!"
Wu Ming's eyes flickered, and he thought calmly and said, "I don't have to hold the Zheng family accountable for their failure, but the Zheng family has to promise me something."
"What's the matter?"
Zheng Chonglong's face froze with joy, and he said with a solemn expression.
"I want to leave Minzhou and want to use Longyan City's Fujing Tianmen to teleport across the border. With the power of the Zheng family, it's not difficult to do it, right?"
Wu Ming said calmly.
"this……"
Zheng Jia was about to refuse, but when he saw Wu Ming's expressionless expression, he immediately said, "No problem!"
"Don't worry, I won't let you use the privileges of a wealthy family in vain. When this matter is over, no matter whether it is successful or not, I will reward you with the same amount of spiritual wood that can be used to refine this dragon treasure ship!"
Wu Ming seemed to be able to see through people's hearts and said with a half-smile.
"Okay, don't worry, Your Excellency, I will do my best!"
Zheng Chonglong's eyes flashed with heat, and he just patted his chest to reassure himself.
However, for the sake of safety, after consulting Wu Ming and monitoring him, Zheng Chonglong personally summoned the only surviving ancestor of the Zheng family to come out.
This ancestor is the Kai Tai Yuanshen at the pinnacle of the Four Realms, a terrifying existence who is half a step into the Holy Path, and is also one of the strongest foundations of the Zheng family.
After learning Wu Ming's identity and what he had done to the Zheng family, although he was not worried, he reluctantly suppressed his anger and agreed to cooperate in refining the treasure ship for the sake of the spiritual wood refining materials that could be used to build another treasure ship.
Of course, the most fundamental reason is that now all the elite members of the Zheng family are under the control of Wu Ming. Even if he can make a comeback, what's the use of leaving an empty shell?
But what they don’t know is that the spiritual wood refinement materials that they regard as treasures and even ask for at a high price are just leftovers left by the tree master!
Even so, it is a priceless treasure!
"how?"
Wu Ming sat in a corner of the refining room, sipping tea, and casually glanced at the Zheng family elders flying up and down around the hundred-foot dragon boat.
"This ancestor of the Zheng family is not simple. If he takes action, the process can be shortened by at least one-third!"
Chang Shu had a sharp eye and an extraordinary heritage. Even though he was not good at building ships, by analogy, since Zheng Chongye teamed up to cast the shell of the treasure ship, he could naturally see the clues.
Not to mention, at this moment he was holding the fragmentary picture of Zhoutian Xinghai given by the ancestor of the Zheng family.
It is said to be a fragmentary picture, but it is just a blue stone slab with indescribable pictures and texts outlined on it, which looks very much like oracle bone inscriptions, but it cannot be deciphered due to some missing parts.
Even with the insights gained by the Zheng family through the ages, they still find it obscure and difficult to understand, and cannot be understood overnight!
"Good stuff, just ask Chang Shu to leave the rubbings. This treasure may be of great help to you in the future!"
Wu Ming roughly described the residual picture to Ku Ye in the sea of consciousness. Although the latter is now very weak, he still has a holy soul. He realizes that this picture is extraordinary, but he cannot see through it. After all, he is not at his peak state now.
Wu Ming silently put away the slate, stared at the dragon ship and said thoughtfully: "If this ship really embodies a trace of Taoism, if you come to absorb the precious light when the treasure ship is taking shape, will it help you restore your cultivation?"
"ah?"
Chang Shu was stunned, as if he didn't expect Wu Ming to ask such a question, and said cautiously, "If you can really absorb the Tao Yun Baoguang, the old slave's cultivation will most likely be fully restored, but firstly it will damage the treasure ship's foundation, and secondly... Mr. Zheng's family
I’m afraid Zu won’t agree!”
"Humph, it's not up to him!"
Wu Ming gave him a cold look.
Zheng Chonglong was willing to send the ancestral treasure map to him at all costs even though the two sides were at odds with each other. This was not just because he wanted to use his shipbuilding experience to bring the Zheng family to a higher level.
Its real purpose is for Dao Yun to absorb it when the dragon treasure ship is formed. The probability is so low that either he or the ancestor of the Zheng family will absorb it!
Now it seems that it is probably the ancestor of the Zheng family. If he gets the help of Daoyun Baoguang, even if there is only a slight possibility of helping him truly set foot in the semi-saint realm, it will be enough for him to give it a try!
No matter how bad it is, it can still cleanse the turbid qi of the physical body and extend your life!
"Thank you, Lord, for your kindness. It's just a pity for this dragon treasure ship!"
Chang Shu felt hot in his heart, but he was not without pity.
Now, although he used the precious light of the last weapon refining to rekindle his life, he could only recover to the level of a master. He was barely able to protect himself, but in terms of the growing power around Wu Ming, it was not considered at all.
What, at most it's just refining a few mysterious weapons.
Even if you risk your life, you still need the help of others to refine a low-grade treasure. No matter how high it is, you can only gamble on luck, and the low level is pitiful!
But if Dao Yun Baoguang really helps, restoring the cultivation of a great master will be just around the corner. With his own knowledge and foundation, and with the help of such a master who is not stingy with treasures, he may not have the opportunity to reach a higher level.
But as a weapon refiner, what you hate most is to see precious treasures destroyed in one moment, let alone destroyed by your own hands.
"What a mere dragon boat, there are many real dragons in the four seas and two rivers!"
Wu Ming smiled lightly.
Chang Shu's old face froze, and soon his blood started to boil, his breathing became a little heavier, and his eyes gradually became fanatical.
Throughout China, no one dares to use the dragon clan to refine treasures, let alone real dragons. However, Wu Ming, as the envoy of Dragon Xiang, was specially cared for by the Dragon Festival Order. Now, two emperor real dragons have become refined materials, and they will be used in the future.
Will it be less?
Even if one day he is killed by the Dragon Clan, what does it mean compared to using a real dragon to refine a treasure?
Buzz!
Just like this, after five days, a dozen of the great master shipbuilders of the Zheng family gathered around the dragon ship, and introduced their huge true energy into the hull, along the keel, and extended it into every part of the hull.
Look at the six elders of the clan and the ancestors of the Zheng family arranged in seven directions together, just like the positions of the Big Dipper shown in the Zhoutian Star Sea Map, crushing the emperor's dragon scales one by one, and condensing their own true energy into the symbol of runes,
Meticulously penetrate into the scales covering the whole body of the dragon boat.
After each dragon scale is infused with the essence of true dragon scales, the originally dark cyan armor flashes with dark golden light, as if it has been coated with a layer of metal, giving it a thick texture.
"Please take out the dragon bead. As long as it is driven into the core of the dragon ship, it will be able to connect the formation patterns all over the body, and the treasure ship will be formed at any time!"
One day and one night later, after driving a full 36,000 dragon scales into the dragon ship, Zheng Chonglong's aura was weak, but his eyes flashed with enthusiasm as he transmitted the message.
"The dragon ball is gone, but there is still one real dragon ball. It seems that there are two dragon tendons that complement each other, which is enough to make the power of the real dragon perfectly fit with the dragon ship!"
Wu Ming played with a dragon ball that looked like a marble in his hand.
"Jiaolong is a subordinate of the Dragon Clan, so of course it's okay!"
Zheng Chongye stretched out his hand to take it, but when he saw Wu Ming throwing it to Chang Shu, he couldn't help but frowned and said, "What do you mean by this? The treasure ship is about to be formed, and it is just the last step. There is no room for any mistakes!"
"I said that whether it succeeds or not, I will not anger the Zheng family. You must still have doubts. If not, let Chang Lao do it!"
Wu Ming said calmly.
"Your Majesty, you have never thought that even though this brother Chang Shu has extraordinary achievements, he is not as good as a master. Secondly, he does not understand my Zheng family's shipbuilding skills. If the runes he writes are slightly off, the ship will be completely destroyed!"
Zheng Chongye said with an ugly expression.
"I promised the Zheng family that I have done everything. Whether the ship is destroyed or not has nothing to do with you!"
Wu Ming said unmoved.
"Hmph, you want him to absorb the Taoyun Baoguang that may appear when the treasure ship is formed and restore his cultivation, right?"
Seeing that Wu Ming was not getting enough oil and salt, and Zheng Chongye was not getting the slightest bit of help, the ancestor of the Zheng family suddenly spoke.
"So what?"
Wu Ming said calmly.
"If you give up this opportunity, I owe you a favor on behalf of the Zheng family!"
The ancestor of the Zheng family said in a deep voice. (To be continued)
