Huh? Isn't this an adventure kingdom building game?!-Chapter 684 - 669: This Is Divine Magic!

Jiang Yuan carefully reviewed the appraisal details and finally breathed a sigh of relief, directing the two of them to quickly absorb the power contained in the dragon blood.

This stuff needs to be "eaten" while it’s hot; if time drags on, the energy will dissipate.

"Is there really a True Dragon in the world?" Leng Yutang looked at the two "blood-soaked men" in surprise, unable to help but marvel, ever since he set foot in the small courtyard to help Granny Huang remodel the puppet, he had opened his eyes!

Mr. Jiang’s small courtyard truly is a treasure trove; he didn’t even want to leave.

A picturesque pastoral scene, beautiful landscape, and treasures such as a Furong Spirit Pool, caves, tree houses, and mushroom houses that he had never heard of, emitting rich Spiritual Energy, filled the entire courtyard with enviable Spiritual Energy, making it a delight to take a deep breath.

Of course, more importantly—Mr. Jiang can make delicious meals filled with gentle Spiritual Energy!

To taste delicious food and absorb Spiritual Power at the same time, what a blissful thing it is.

Leng Yutang really wanted to stay; if he could gain Mr. Jiang’s favor and secure a place in the courtyard, he would laugh in his dreams!

"Of course, there are dragons." Jiang Yuan nodded in agreement, thinking to himself that the Flood Dragon Tomb instance was just filled with dead dragons, while the old dragon Zhou Jian was a genuine Earth Dragon, alive and well.

"I wish I could see what a True Dragon really looks like..." Leng Yutang silently muttered in his heart.

He had heard his master mention that some of the finest Magical Treasures require dragon scales as a guide in their forging process. Precisely because True Dragons are hard to find, those Artifact Refining techniques are left to gather dust.

If he could obtain a few dragon scales, perhaps he could replicate and forge the long-lost finest Magical Treasures!

Unfortunately, he was not very familiar with the members of the small courtyard, merely a guest helping out, and felt embarrassed to ask, so he could only sneak a curious glance at the two people covered in dragon blood occasionally.

Xie Chenyuan was splattered with blood and was quite disgusted. If not for the urgency to escape, he would have used the Cleaning Technique to clean himself up earlier.

Unexpectedly, Mr. Jiang reminded him that this blood was an extremely rare treasure, and he should quickly absorb and refine it to make it his own.

He hurriedly sat down cross-legged and activated his Cultivation Technique.

Indeed, this dragon blood was different from ordinary blood, viscous, boiling hot, and the bloodstains soaked into his Magical Robe gradually transformed into pure energy under his greedy absorption and entered his body.

Once all the dragon blood stuck to his body was absorbed completely, Xie Chenyuan’s Realm finally broke through a minor level to the Ninth Layer of Nascent Soul Realm, and he couldn’t help but feel thrilled.

As the saying goes, wealth is found in danger; following Mr. Jiang’s pursuit of Shen Lao Liu yielded substantial riches;

This time, dealing with a zombie in the Flood Dragon Tomb was enough to elevate his strength by several degrees, this adventure was absolutely worth it!

Bai Yunqi, after all, was more heavily injured, and with a belly full of dragon blood, needed more time for Refining.

But the rewards were worth the effort; once he successfully completed the Refining, the signs of a breakthrough in his recently advanced Bone Refining Realm began to emerge.

Now just one final push was needed, estimating that a couple more intense battles would lead to another breakthrough, bringing him one step closer to becoming a true Great Demon.

Most importantly, he found that the scales he lost from his main body due to injuries were regenerating after healing, with the new scales amazingly resembling dragon scales!

"Venerable Family, this is all the loot that Xie and I secured together in the Flood Dragon Tomb, please have a look." Bai Yunqi and Xie Chenyuan met to consolidate their gains, presenting them with both hands.

Jiang Yuan was the first to notice that after his contract pet absorbed the dragon blood, its Realm had reached the peak of the Bone Refining Realm, just a tiny bit short of advancement, and if it ascended in Realm, the Upgrade Card exclusively for his family portrait would become useless.

Fortunately, the experience bar wasn’t full, so it could directly push him to the peak of the Demon Pill Realm, and with a bit of effort from the contract pet, it could advance to the Transformation Realm, tsk tsk, having a cheat is truly blissful!

[A Box of Spirit Stones: The ancestral property thrown into the Secret Realm by the Shen Clan Patriarch, totaling fifty thousand Spirit Stones]

[A Box of Demon Cores: The ancestral property thrown into the Secret Realm by the Shen Clan Patriarch, of ordinary quality with slight flaws, unusable for alchemy...]

...

Bai Yunqi was determined to prove his capabilities with the spoils of war, naturally holding nothing back;

Xie Chenyuan, coming from a reputable and upright sect, occasionally had the opportunity to enter a Secret Realm, where everything adhered to regulations and discipline, with all disciples’ gains being turned in and rewards distributed according to contributions.

Therefore, in his cultivated habit, he never entertained thoughts of monopolizing or hoarding.

The Secret Realm’s opportunities were granted by Mr. Jiang, and handing over the gains from it to him for disposition aligned well with the sect’s way of doing things. Even if he didn’t receive a single Magical Artifact, at least the tangible cultivation benefits and battle experience gained during the training were his own, already making it worthwhile.

The harvest this time was plentiful, and a glance revealed a dazzling array of spoils.

But from the system’s appraisal, they were mostly items of little value, useless to the family’s workshop, and finally Jiang Yuan’s gaze settled on a fist-sized, luminous, milky white object.

[A portion of consumed concentrated Life Origin: The Flood Dragon Clan, having suffered a disastrous defeat at Fengmian Mountain, harbored insidious intentions, attempting to use the scavenged Life Origin to revive their entire clan and make a comeback. The concentrated Life Origin is the key to the Flood Dragon Clan’s death and resurrection.

Many dragon corpses, having absorbed the energy and vitality it emits over thousands of years, helped re-coalesce remnants of souls, evolving into zombies; given enough time, these zombies shed their skin to give birth to new flood dragons.

Cultivators can use this Life Origin and, over a thousand years, consume and refine it, converting the Origin into Spiritual Power to serve their cultivation; storing it alongside a cultivator’s body can prevent rot and decay, making it lifelike, with a revived heartbeat and blood flow after a millennium, becoming a vessel waiting for possession.
