Dragon Tamer

Chapter 537: Chapter 539 Void Crystal
 

…

The loot was divided.

Zhu Minglang, Nan Lingsha, and Nan Yu Suo each received a Platinum Cultivation Fruit.

As for the Ten-Thousand-Year Silver Fir Holy Dew, Nan Lingsha also generously gave it to Zhu Minglang to give his Azure Phoenix Azure Dragon a chance to complete its final growth stage.

With the Cultivation Fruit and the Holy Dew, these two spiritual objects were enough to push the Azure Phoenix Azure Dragon to its ultimate level, but there was still one condition missing, that being a Heavenly Earthly Species with attributes similar to the Azure Phoenix Azure Dragon.

To assault the King Level, external energy was needed to ascend in one go.

Despite the Azure Phoenix Azure Dragon’s current high bloodline, ascending to King Level wasn’t a barrier insurmountable for it, but thorough preparation was still necessary to completely overcome it.

“Regarding the Heavenly Earthly Species, one will certainly appear under the influence of the World Dragon Gate. You can go and ask Star Painting,” said Nan Lingsha.

Zhu Minglang then further refined the claws of the Azure Phoenix Azure Dragon, which, lacking dragon scales and having only feathers, was at a disadvantage compared to the Refining Ash Black Dragon. Fortunately, Zhu Minglang had crafted a set of wind armor for the Azure Phoenix Azure Dragon, which, forged with Serene Fire Liquid, could make up for the absence of dragon scales on its body.

Ascending was the same as crossing a calamity. By now, Zhu Minglang had a general understanding that the so-called Crossing the Dragon’s Calamity was actually the process of transforming from the Monarch Level to the King Level. The difference between Monarch and King Levels was huge, like a chasm to be crossed, and this crossing process was bound to incur divine punishment. After all, the order of creature ranks is regulated, and the process of breaking through one’s own bloodline and racial shackles was an act against the laws of the Heavenly Dao!

Zhu Minglang didn’t rush to inquire about the Heavenly Earthly Species.

He wanted to ensure that the Azure Phoenix Azure Dragon’s ascension was safe and sound. For this reason, he specially consulted an elder in residence at Zhu Gate to help improve the Sacred Dragon Armor he had made for the Azure Phoenix Azure Dragon. Later, he even collected some expensive refining materials to strengthen its feathers and bones, making the dragon’s body sturdier…

Zhu Minglang had already let the Azure Phoenix Azure Dragon drink the Ten-Thousand-Year Silver Fir Holy Dew.

The Azure Phoenix Azure Dragon’s bloodline was highly compatible with the Holy Dew; the nourishment it provided was comparable to a Phoenix Clan’s Soul Orb. Over these days, Zhu Minglang could clearly feel the changes in the Azure Phoenix Azure Dragon.

Its feathers became even more splendid, with extremely fine iridescent patterns appearing on each feather. According to Mr. Jinli’s judgment, the feathers of the Azure Phoenix Azure Dragon were now close to the standard of the Dragon King, just based on the feathers alone.

The changes brought about by the Ten-Thousand-Year Silver Fir Holy Dew continued to manifest. Zhu Minglang was also waiting for the Azure Phoenix Azure Dragon to fully absorb the Holy Dew so that he could then use the Cultivation Fruit and the Heavenly Earthly Species to help the Azure Phoenix Azure Dragon complete its final growth!

There was a considerable difference between dragons with low bloodlines and those with high bloodlines.

Dragons with low bloodlines, even at the Complete Period, could only reach Lord Level or lower Monarch Level in their cultivation.

For such dragons with low bloodlines to assault the King Level, a massive amount of spiritual substances was needed to fill the gap between Monarch and King Levels. Moreover, since their bodies had already fully stabilized, there was a high chance they would be obliterated by the Dragon’s Calamity when attempting to break through their limits with spiritual substances and strange species.

The Azure Phoenix Azure Dragon was still in its growth period. If the last stage coincided with the Ascending Tribulation, the chances of success were very high.

Other dragons relied on spiritual substances and strange species for their ascension, while the Azure Phoenix Azure Dragon had the added advantage of growth transformation…

Therefore, this growth of the Azure Phoenix Azure Dragon was not just a simple ascension to Dragon King Level. It was very likely to break through one or two ranks in succession, with a chance to step directly over the threshold rank and reach the Lower Dragon King Level.

…

“Zhu Minglang, Zhu Minglang, there’s a great item for sale that I think is perfect for the Heavenly Slaughter Dragon!” Fang Niannian hurriedly approached and said.

“What is it?” Zhu Minglang asked.

The cultivation base of the Heavenly Slaughter Dragon also had room for growth, having stabilized at the Lower Level King after its ascension.

However, if it could acquire the corresponding King Level spiritual resources, the Heavenly Slaughter Dragon could continue to grow and improve!

“Void Crystals, it is said that they are formed during the collision of continents, from the most intense heat steaming the particles in the void fog into transparent crystals. The Heavenly Slaughter Dragon commands the power of void darkness, doesn’t it? It seems that dragons of this attribute are not common. The seller seems pretty desperate, looking to exchange for King Level Dragon Balls,” Fang Niannian explained.

Zhu Minglang hesitated.

Having a too powerful Heavenly Slaughter Dragon wasn’t necessarily a good thing; the creature was always thinking about rebelling. Although, these days, it had lost the heart to flee, there was no guarantee that upon breaking through to the next level, it wouldn’t start causing trouble again.

But after careful thought, Zhu Minglang realized that the Heavenly Slaughter Dragon had an excellent foundation, and now its cultivation base was the most stable, and its strength was sufficiently solid. If it could advance further, it would be a great help to himself.

As long as he made sure he had an Inscription energy on hand and in a Sword Awakening State, Zhu Minglang was confident he could subdue a further-improved Heavenly Slaughter Dragon!

Opportunities like this were fleeting. It was evident that the person selling the Void Crystal, like Zhu Minglang, hoped to improve their strength quickly before the next Time Wave of the World Dragon Gate.

The stronger one’s power, the more resources they could obtain. It would be foolish to hoard spiritual objects intending to sell them at a higher price later. Investing in oneself and improving one’s strength to reap higher benefits under the grace of the World Dragon Gate could potentially leave other cultivators of the continent far behind in terms of power!

“You get in touch with that person, and tell them we don’t plan to trade anonymously,” Zhu Minglang said.

“Ah? But in such a short time, it won’t be easy for us to buy a King Level Dragon Ball to trade with the other party. Let alone King Level Dragon Balls, even Monarch Level ones, as long as the price is not too outrageous, are snapped up as soon as they are put on sale,” Fang Niannian said.

“Don’t worry, I have two Dragon King Soul Orbs on hand. If the other party is sincere, we can trade two for one Void Crystal,” Zhu Minglang said.n/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om

Void Crystals, undoubtedly, are more valuable than Dragon King Soul Orbs.

“Great, great, I will contact them right away. It seems that the other party also only accepts anonymous trades.”

…

Anonymous trading had a major downside. While it could save on the commission taken by the auction, it was easy to be cheated or ambushed.

Everyone was unaware of each other’s identity, and if the trading location was secretive, coupled with greed, murder for loot became a rather normal affair. Cultivators usually abide by a code of martial ethics when revealing their identities, but once they put on a mask, they are capable of the most heinous acts!

The other party must also be afraid of being double-crossed, and had deliberately chosen to trade in the Spirit Source Market of Ancestral Dragon City, both wearing the white masks common among its people.

The Spirit Source Market was often bustling with crowds. In just a few days, who knows how many people from the Supreme Court Courtyard Continent had flooded into Li Chuan, and most of the spiritual resources captured were traded in Ancestral Dragon City. The vast majority of people wanted to improve their strength as soon as possible so they could compete for higher-level spiritual resources. Therefore, in recent days, many major powers had brought out their treasures from their coffers. A large number of high-level spiritual resources were circulating in the market, and at the same time, many cultivators’ strength had improved significantly!
