Chapter 272: Half-Dragon Heritage
"Hmm~"
As Lu Xuan and the others waited, a faint dragon's roar, tinged with hidden power, echoed in their ears.
As the sound faded, a burly young man appeared beside them.
Dressed in a crimson robe that seemed to be made of dragon skin, the young man walked with the faint semblance of a dragon shadow trailing behind him.
With golden vertical pupils, he exuded an aura of authority without anger. Fine red scales extended from his neck all the way to his chest.
"Senior Brother Longli, I didn't expect you to come in person. This is Lu Xuan, a junior brother who recently advanced to the inner disciple level and excels in the study of spirit plants and beasts."
"That's why I discovered the Dragon Bone Grass inside my Snowline Chi Dragon's body."
Tao Zhiqing quickly introduced Lu Xuan to the half-human, half-dragon cultivator.
"Lu Junior Brother, this is Senior Brother Longli, one of the true heirs and also one of the actual controllers of the Thousand Dragon Lake."
"Senior Brother Longli, greetings."
Lu Xuan promptly paid his respects. As a True disciple, Senior Brother Longli could be considered one of the strongest below the Foundation Establishment stage in the entire Sect, his cultivation far surpassing Lu Xuan's.
"Lu Junior Brother."
The burly youth nodded slightly, looking towards the Snowline Chi Dragon by the lake, its eyes vacant.
"It was discovered inside this Snowline Chi Dragon."
Tao Zhiqing took out the partially undigested Dragon Bone Grass and presented it to Longli.
"It should have been found at the bottom of the Thousand Dragon Lake."
The burly youth judged.
"I'm going down to take a look. If you two are willing, you can follow me, but there is a condition."
"There is a certain level of dragon aura remaining at the bottom of the Thousand Dragon Lake. The deeper we go, the stronger the dragon aura. If you go down with me and don't stray too far, I can protect you."
"Also, it's inconvenient to move underwater, so it's best if you have water-type talismans or artifacts on you to move freely."
"In that case, I won't go down with Senior Brother to avoid crowding." Tao Zhiqing said awkwardly.
"Senior Brother Long, I happen to have a third-grade Waterwalking Pearl in my hand, which allows me to move as easily as on land in waters thousands of feet deep. Entering the bottom of the Thousand Dragon Lake shouldn't be a problem."
Lu Xuan stepped forward, holding a pigeon egg-sized, misty white pearl in his hand.
Under the white light, Lu Xuan's eyes could see strange rocks everywhere on the lakebed, occasionally spotting peculiarly shaped aquatic plants.
The two walked slowly on the lakebed, carefully identifying those strange aquatic plants.
"Senior Brother, are these strange rocks at the bottom of the lake left behind by that true dragon?"
Lu Xuan asked Longli via voice transmission.
"How could the bones of a true dragon be easily seen by us? They have long since merged with the Thousand Dragon Lake."
"These should be strange rocks formed by the demise of the Flood Dragons in the past."
Longli casually replied. Suddenly, his gaze condensed, and he noticed a long black dragon swimming freely in a boulder not far ahead.
At first glance, with its dragon head, dragon body, and dragon tail, it looked like a scaled-down version of a small flood dragon.
Longli's spiritual awareness scanned the surroundings. Seeing no anomalies, fine scales quietly appeared on the back of his hand. Like lightning, they shot out and firmly grabbed the long black dragon in his palm.
The long black dragon was naturally the Dragon Bone Grass transformed into its true form. At this moment, it had lost its previous agility and obediently stayed in Longli's half-dragon hand.
"Junior Brother Lu, this Dragon Bone Grass is deeply hidden. Please help me search as well."
Longli transmitted his voice, extremely confident in his own spiritual awareness.
"Alright."
Lu Xuan chose a direction and kept flipping through the strange rocks transformed from the flood dragon bones.
He looked down at the strange rocks beneath his feet, his expression unchanged, but secretly, he used the Earth Attraction Technique to seemingly inadvertently embed the strange rocks into the cracks he created.
"Senior Brother Long, I found one."
After a while, he held a slender, small black grass-like Dragon Bone Grass in front of Longli. Combined with the four Dragon Bone Grasses found by Longli, the two of them had found a total of five strands of fifth-grade Dragon Bone Grass.
"By the way, Senior Brother Long, I quite like these Flood Dragon stone formations at the bottom of the lake. Can I take some of them up and store them in a small lake in my cave?"
After searching for a long time without finding any new Dragon Bone Grass, Lu Xuan asked softly.
"Sure."
Longli didn't mind. With his spiritual awareness approaching the Nascent Soul stage, he had long known that there were no anomalies inside the strange rocks while searching for Dragon Bone Grass. Their value might not even be comparable to the fresh bones of ordinary beasts.
Lu Xuan was overjoyed, calmly sweeping more than a dozen strange rocks into his storage bag.
