Chapter 16: Dragon (2)
Chapter 16: Dragon (2)
"Not good!" Lin Fei suddenly felt that his sword had missed a target and he immediately discovered the problem. He used the Shadow Step and disappeared from the spot. When he reappeared, he was already under the dragon. The stormy sword light instantly blocked all the space for the dragon to descend.
The dragon was not to be trifled with. Upon seeing the terrifying knife light below, it turned its head and turned around in the air. Then, it swung its tail heavily and charged straight towards Lin Fei.
Seeing the dragon's tail coming straight towards him, Lin Fei narrowed his eyes slightly.
Although Lin Fei was not afraid of the power of the dragon due to his strong body, the power of the dragon's tail was at least 40,000 to 50,000 kilograms. If it really hit him, he would be seriously injured even if he didn't die. Lin Fei had no choice but to use the Flash Step to quickly avoid it.
Lin Fei dodged it, but the dragon could not retract its tail. The entire huge tail of the dragon fell heavily on the dark deep pool water.
"Boom!" With a loud bang, the earth shook and huge waves appeared in the pool.
The dragon's tail almost turned the entire deep pool upside down, and a huge column of water rushed up thousands of feet into the sky, as if the end of the world was coming.
How could the originally delicate Seven-seeded Golden Heart Lotus withstand such a horrific impact? Along with the upturned pond water, the lotus seeds and lotus pods were completely swept up into the sky by the dragon's tail.
Looking at everything rising into the sky, Lin Fei's heart instantly began to bleed. The Leafless Seven-Seeded Golden Heart Lotus was a truly precious divine medicine.
The spiritual fluid in Dantian was circulating crazily, and Lin Fei used the Flash Step to the extreme. He kept shuttling in the air, searching for the lotus seeds that were caught in the flying air.
Under such circumstances, how could Lin Fei find all the forty-nine lotus seeds by himself? He had to try his best to search on his own.
At this time, the divine cauldron in Tianlin's dantian moved, and then, regardless of the strong pressure, the divine cauldron suddenly flew out from Lin Fei's dantian, and then stopped directly above the dragon, emitting a ball of bright golden light. This light was like a restraint, which imprisoned the dragon firmly in the air. No matter how the dragon struggled, it could not escape the restraint of the divine cauldron.
Looking at the small divine tripod above, there was no confidence in the dragon's eyes, and what followed was infinite fear.
There were forty-nine leafless, seven-seeded golden heart lotuses. In the end, even though Lin Fei tried his best, he could only find five, and the rest all fell into the deep pool with the water.
At this moment, Lin Fei even wanted to kill someone.
"Little snake, you bastard, I'm going to kill you!" Lin Fei shouted, and the light of the Netherworld Blade shot straight out, ready to rush towards the dragon.
When he looked up, he saw the dragon under the divine tripod, curled up motionless, like a small snake caught by a pair of divine hands.
Looking at the pitiful appearance of the dragon at this moment, Lin Fei's anger subsided a little.
Although he only got five lotus seeds, he was able to subdue a dragon, a creature that defied nature. Thinking that he would have a giant dragon with unparalleled combat power accompanying him in the future, wasn't this also a great joy in life? Thinking of this, he smiled happily.
"Come in, little dragon, submit to me and my master, and I will make you a true dragon!"
The sound of the Divine Cauldron slowly rang out in the air. Looking at the Divine Cauldron in the sky and thinking of the Master's expression at that time, Lin Fei finally understood how much hope the Master had placed on him by giving it to him.
I don’t know how many unknown secrets this divine tripod has. They can only be discovered slowly in the future. Lin Fei feels helpless about these secrets, but he still likes such secrets very much.
When the dragon heard the voice of the divine tripod, it no longer had any intention of resisting. No, it should be said that it did not dare to have the slightest thought of resisting.
Under the shining golden light, Lin Fei saw the dragon slowly getting smaller, and finally, it completely entered the divine cauldron.
The divine tripod took in the little dragon, then disappeared and entered Lin Fei's dantian.
Lin Fei saw that the divine cauldron was still hanging quietly above his dantian. In the center of the divine cauldron, a little dragon was flying up and down in the space of the divine cauldron, appearing extremely excited.
He extended his spiritual consciousness into the divine cauldron and gently touched the little dragon. Surprisingly, the little dragon became as docile as a puppy and allowed him to stroke and tease it.
"If I had known this, I should have released you when Tianlin was injured. Sigh, so many precious lotus seeds were wasted in vain."
Lin Fei withdrew his spiritual consciousness and came to Tianlin. At this time, Tianlin had not yet woken up. Tianlin was seriously injured this time.
Thinking that Tianlin was seriously injured because of him, without thinking, Lin Fei put a seven-seed Tianxin lotus into Tianlin's mouth, and then quietly watched over Tianlin.
The battle here eventually attracted the attention of the people who entered the Heavenly Palace. Not long after Lin Fei finished the battle, a team came to where Lin Fei was. Seeing the whole scene in a mess and Tianlin who was still asleep, everyone's eyes turned to Lin Fei.
People from Tianyang Sect!
Lin Fei saw the word "Tian" on the chest of the clothes they were wearing and realized that they were the disciples and leaders of the Tianyang Sect.
Tianyang Sect is also a sect in Qinglian Kingdom, but it is far away from Yibang City and is not under the jurisdiction of Yibang City.
The leader of the group that came to Cangming Mountain this time was a man in his forties. He looked mighty and domineering, with an overbearing look. He was in the middle stage of the spiritual phase. Among the eighteen people below him, two were in the early stage of the spiritual phase, and sixteen were in the middle and late stages of the foundation building. Two of the eighteen people were obviously injured and looked unlucky.
Seeing that there were only Lin Fei and Tian Lin here, the faces of these 19 people became a little excited. They looked at Lin Fei with eyes as excited as hunters seeing their prey.
"Boy, did you get something? Take it out. I can guarantee that they won't do anything to you."
The man in his forties did not give Lin Fei any room for negotiation and pretended to be a superior.
Lin Fei understood what he meant, give it or not, otherwise you will die.
At this time, the lotus seeds that Tianlin had eaten had already begun to take effect. Lin Fei estimated that if Tianlin could absorb 50% of the medicinal power of the lotus seeds, then not only would Tianlin's injuries be completely healed, but Tianlin could also move from the early stage of the spiritual phase to the middle stage of the spiritual phase. At that time, Tianlin would have the ability to protect himself, and he would not have to worry about anything. He could just let go and fight them.
Time, so what Lin Fei needs now is time.
Delay! Lin Fei now had only one thought in his mind, delay time. Lin Fei estimated that within three hours, Tian Lin would be able to fully recover.
"What did you say? Do you think we are the ones who got something? I am only at the foundation building stage, and she is injured like this. We didn't get anything at all. What do you want us to give you?"
Lin Fei looked at the man, then at Tianlin, with a pitiful and helpless expression on his face, as if telling the man, look at us, we are injured like this, what can we get?
"I don't believe you didn't get anything. I can clearly smell the scent of spiritual medicine here. Did you get any precious spiritual medicine from this pond?"
It was obvious that this middle-aged man had experienced many storms and would not easily believe what others said. He walked around Lin Fei and Tian Lin, then looked at the deep pool and the damaged things around it. His brows tightened slightly, but soon relaxed again.
"One is in the early stage of spiritual phase, and the other is in the foundation building stage. The spiritual phase is injured like this, so the one fighting with you should be in the spiritual phase or middle stage of spiritual phase. The water in this deep pool is so deep, is there a python or dragon in the pool?"
The middle-aged man looked at Lin Fei, as if waiting for Lin Fei's confirmation.
"I don't recognize it either. When we came here, we did see a lotus in the water. We saw that the lotus was very beautiful. My companion was a girl, and girls love beauty. Seeing that there was no one here and nothing else, she thought that she would pick the lotus and wear it on her head to make the trip worthwhile. Unexpectedly, a snake that was neither a snake nor a dragon jumped out of the pond and ate the lotus in one bite."
Lin Fei looked at the middle-aged man, swallowed, and continued.
"My companion was so angry that he picked up a sword and started fighting the monster. But the monster was too powerful and seriously injured my companion. He then dived into the deep pool and never came out. Look at my companion, many of his bones are broken, and he doesn't have any medicine. I don't know if he can recover."
After Lin Fei finished speaking, his eyes were full of pity and regret.
After listening to Lin Fei, the middle-aged man looked at the lake thoughtfully, as if he believed what Lin Fei said, and then said to the people below: "Zhang Tianmin, Li Fugui, the two of you go and get something to make some noise in the lake, try to make it as loud as possible, and the others stay around and notify me immediately if there is any change."
"Yes, Elder Jiang!" After hearing the order to call Elder Jiang, those people immediately started to act.
Soon, Zhang Tianmin and Li Fugui found two huge trees from somewhere and used them to hit the water in the deep pool, causing waves to fly everywhere.
However, no matter how they stirred the water, there seemed to be nothing in it. There were no bubbles or any movement at all.
As if they felt cheated, the disciples were all confused and looked at Elder Jiang.
Elder Jiang also felt something was wrong, but when he saw that Lin Fei and the other two's cultivation was just at this level, he thought they would not dare to lie to them, so Elder Jiang shouted to his disciples.
"Keep hitting, I don't believe it won't come out!"
Elder Jiang obviously believed that there must be something powerful in the pool of water, otherwise, with Lin Fei and Tian Lin's cultivation level, they would not have been injured like this.
He believed that the dragon must have eaten the lotus and was in the process of refining it.
Besides, a dragon must weigh at least several thousand pounds. Now there is no trace of its body or dragon alive, so he was sure that the dragon must still be in the pool.
According to common sense, it should be like this. No one can hide a dragon casually, unless he is a king or a higher-level powerful being who defies heaven. Otherwise, someone like Lin Fei who has established his foundation and has a spiritual state simply does not have this ability.
As for Tianlin and Lin Fei, one is in the foundation-building stage and the other is in the early spiritual stage. They can never make any big waves. If they don’t obey, they will be destroyed.
However, this also gave Lin Fei and Tian Lin enough time.
After Tianlin ate the lotus seeds, the perverted spiritual energy of the Seven-Seed Golden Heart Lotus immediately filled her Dantian. At the same time, a warm air current began to flow through her tendons and veins. She felt her wounds and broken bones fuse together and become stronger. As the energy of the lotus seeds was continuously released, Tianlin's tendons and veins were continuously expanded and extended. Some of the tendons and veins that were originally blocked and not opened began to break and connect. Her cultivation level continued to rise from the first level of the spiritual phase.
The second level of spiritual appearance.
The third level of spiritual appearance.
……
Soon, Tianlin's cultivation reached the sixth level of the spiritual phase and remained firmly stable at the sixth level of the spiritual phase.
Four hours later, Tianlin had only refined eighty percent of the lotus seed, and her cultivation had reached and stabilized at the sixth level of the spiritual realm. Then her tendons and veins were widened to an astonishing degree, and now her spiritual energy was running more than fifty times faster than before.
To give an example, Tianlin’s veins used to be like dirt roads, but now they can be said to be highways, and they are wider and more direct than highways.
At the same time, Tianlin's Dantian was also widened and strengthened, twice as much as before. A larger Dantian could store more spiritual energy and support longer and more intense battles.
Although Tianlin's Dantian was not as abnormal as Lin Fei's, it could still be said to be invincible at the same level. A golden heart lotus seed put Tianlin's future martial arts life on the bright road.
Do you think this is perverted or not? If others knew that Lin Fei still had four such lotus seeds on his body, wouldn't it trigger a battle to seize the lotus that would shock the world?
After almost a day of turmoil, no matter how hard the Tianyang Sect members tried, there was no movement in the pool except for the waves they created. After so long and with so much noise, the dragon still hadn't been blasted out. Elder Jiang couldn't sit still any longer.
He came straight in front of Lin Fei, with an expression as gloomy as the sky before a storm, looking extremely ugly.
"It looks like you two are not telling the truth. Are you hiding something? You'd better speak up honestly. Otherwise, don't blame me, Jiang, for being rude."
"You are an elder of the Tianyang Sect, yet you are so arrogant as soon as you come here. I told you everything honestly, but you said I didn't tell the truth. The dragon in the pond was raised by the old man Shuo Wang. Do you blame me for not being able to blast it out? It's because you don't have the ability."
Lin Fei was not a clay man who could be manipulated by others. Seeing Elder Jiang's scary look, he naturally had no nice words to say.
Lin Fei calculated that Tianlin should be fully recovered soon, and his cultivation had stabilized, so he felt relieved. As long as Tianlin was fine, he had nothing to fear.
His own cultivation had broken through to the seventh level of foundation building, and with the Netherworld Sword and the God-Destroying Blade, he believed that with Elder Jiang's spiritual appearance, he should be able to fight without worry.
Especially Tianlin, who has the sixth level of spiritual cultivation, should have no problem dealing with those people under Elder Jiang.
"Little kid, don't think I dare not do anything to you. In this Heavenly Palace, no one cares if one or two people die. Besides, you two are not members of a sect, and no one will back you up. So, you'd better tell me everything honestly, otherwise, I will make you regret it so badly that you won't know how to write it."
Elder Jiang's eyes were full of disdain and arrogance, as if he was a god with the power of life and death.
"Don't scare anyone. We don't know who will win yet. Don't push people too far. Even a dog will jump over the wall if pushed, let alone a human!"
What disappointed Elder Jiang was that his intimidation did not work. Lin Fei was still the same as when they first came in. He believed that humans and animals should not be bullied, which made Elder Jiang's face even uglier.
At this time, the two disciples who were responsible for stirring the water in the pond came to Elder Jiang. They had tried every possible way but still failed to drive the things out of the pond, and they looked very aggrieved.
"Elder, these two people may have deceived us. We really tried our best, but..." Zhang Tianmin looked aggrieved.
"You guys take a rest and pay attention to see if there are any changes in the pond. I will take care of the issues concerning those two people, so you don't have to worry about them." Elder Jiang was furious because he didn't get any reward from Lin Fei. He glanced at the two disciples and said.
The two disciples were so frightened that they quickly retreated. Elder Jiang then came back to Lin Fei, staring at him intently, as if he wanted to discover something from him.
However, to his disappointment, Lin Fei had nothing on him, no strong spiritual fluctuations, no smell of spiritual medicine, and not even a decent weapon. However, Lin Fei's indifferent expression told Elder Jiang that this is who I am, what can you do to me?
