Urban Extraordinary Immortal Doctor-Chapter 1973: Flood Dragon’s Gift of Treasure
There are many legends about the Flood Dragons in Jade Lake.
The most widespread is that the Flood Dragon in this lake has the bloodline of an Immortal Dragon, capable of transforming into a dragon and ascending to the Immortal Realm in due time.
The legendary Immortal Dragons possess mighty powers that can connect heaven and earth, summon wind and rain, control thunder and lightning, and are powerfully awe-inspiring beings.
In the eyes of the Flood Dragon Venerable, although the battle prowess of the White Flood Dragon before him is comparable to his own, the two small bulges on its head are signs of its impending transformation into a dragon.
Perhaps in a hundred or a thousand years, the two bulges on the Flood Dragon’s head will turn into a pair of dragon horns, and its body will be covered with dragon scales, enabling it to rise into the Immortal Domain with wind and clouds.
As such, the Flood Dragon Venerable holds this White Flood Dragon in reverence.
Seeing the legendary Flood Dragon treating Fang Bai so affectionately, as if they were old friends, the Flood Dragon Venerable was marvelously surprised, immediately believing Fang Bai’s claim of understanding the Beast Taming Technique and communicating with all Spirit Beasts.
Hearing Fang Bai greet the Flood Dragon himself, the Flood Dragon Venerable felt a bit nervous, but still braved it and waved to the Flood Dragon, respectfully saying, "Greetings, senior Flood Dragon."
The Flood Dragon Venerable knew that the two small bulges on this Flood Dragon’s head indicated it had at least a thousand-year lifespan and that its battle prowess exceeded his own, thus he addressed it as "senior."
In the three thousand great worlds, Flood Dragons are undoubtedly among the fiercest and most noble Spirit Beasts. The White Flood Dragon in front of him usually regards human experts as ants and would ignore the Flood Dragon Venerable if not for Fang Bai’s presence.
"Hello, human!"
Seeing the Flood Dragon Venerable greet it, the Flood Dragon opened its mouth to speak, nodding slightly, full of pride.
Regardless, the Flood Dragon Venerable still felt surprisingly honored. 𝕗𝚛𝚎𝚎𝐰𝗲𝗯𝗻𝚘𝚟𝚎𝗹.𝕔𝐨𝕞
After all, there are only a few formidable beings in this world who can converse with Flood Dragons face to face.
After exchanging greetings with the Flood Dragon Venerable, the Flood Dragon ignored him and continued its conversation with Fang Bai.
The person and the beast engaged in a dialogue in a language only they understood. Whatever Fang Bai said, the Flood Dragon became very excited, lowering its head and affectionately rubbing it against Fang Bai.
"This Flood Dragon might transform into an Immortal Dragon one day! I wonder what power this little guy has to make the Flood Dragon so affectionate towards him!"
The Flood Dragon Venerable envied the delightful exchange between the White Flood Dragon and Fang Bai, growing increasingly respectful of Fang Bai.
Liu Qingqing and Xiao Ying, intimidated by the powerful aura emanating from the Flood Dragon, dared not approach and stood watching from a distance.
"You two, come and meet Xiao Bai, the Flood Dragon."
Fang Bai waved them over with a smile.
Hearing Fang Bai, the Flood Dragon Venerable chuckled wryly, thinking about how he had just addressed the White Flood Dragon as "Flood Dragon senior," but now, from Fang Bai’s mouth, "Flood Dragon senior" became "Xiao Bai, the Flood Dragon."
To his surprise, the White Flood Dragon did not mind being called "Xiao Bai" by Fang Bai; it even seemed to quite like it.
Liu Qingqing and Xiao Ying cautiously approached the White Flood Dragon, feeling a bit restrained and nervous, reaching out to touch the head the White Flood Dragon extended towards them before quickly retracting their hands.
The White Flood Dragon possessed great intelligence, seemingly discerning the close relationship between these two human women and Fang Bai, and was much more amicable towards them than towards the Flood Dragon Venerable.
The many powerful beings observing around Jade Lake were shockingly amazed upon witnessing this scene.
They had all heard about the existence of a Flood Dragon in Jade Lake, so they dared not make any noise while cultivating in the area, fearing to disturb the Flood Dragon and attract deadly trouble.
However, seeing the Flood Dragon tame and even allowing humans to touch its head left them incredulous.
Suddenly, the Flood Dragon exchanged some unclear communication with Fang Bai before abruptly diving to the bottom of the lake.
"Brother Fang Bai, why did the Flood Dragon go into the lake?"
Xiao Ying asked in puzzlement, her heart still excited and thrilled from just having touched the legendary Flood Dragon’s head, an experience few in the world ever have.
Liu Qingqing looked curiously at Fang Bai as well.
Fang Bai smiled mysteriously at Xiao Ying and said, "The Flood Dragon has many treasures hidden and wants to give them to me."
The Flood Dragon quickly returned, surfaced from the water, and swam to Fang Bai.
Opening its mouth, it sprayed a jet of lake water onto the island. As the water seeped into the ground, Fang Bai and the others were astonished to find over a hundred various Space Rings appearing on the ground.
Most of these Space Rings looked very ancient, evidently having lain at the lake’s bottom for countless ages, with some even showing spots of green rust.
"Xiao Bai said that these Space Rings were left by an ancestor of the Flood Dragon tribe who transformed into a dragon and ascended to the Immortal Realm tens of thousands of years ago. The original owners of these rings were all human Venerables at the ninth realm of Heavenly Tribulation, who intended to slay the Flood Dragon tribe for their flesh and bones to enhance their prowess but were instead devoured by powerful Flood Dragons, leaving these Space Rings ownerless..."
"These over a hundred Space Rings are all Royal Grade superior storage Spiritual Artifacts, each containing a substantial amount of precious Cultivation Resources."
Fang Bai picked up a few Space Rings in his palm, showing them to the nearby Flood Dragon Venerable, Liu Qingqing, and Xiao Ying.
Not just Liu Qingqing and Xiao Ying, but even the Flood Dragon Venerable was envious upon seeing those ancient Space Rings on the ground, believing that the Cultivation Resources from the artifacts of ninth realm Heavenly Tribulation Venerables must be extraordinary, and the combined number of over a hundred Space Rings would be astounding.
"The promise of sharing means you three can each take some as well!"
As Fang Bai spoke, thirty of the Space Rings rose from the ground, ten suspended before the Flood Dragon Venerable, Liu Qingqing, and Xiao Ying, respectively.
"I... I have them too?"
The Flood Dragon Venerable was greatly surprised. He assumed Liu Qingqing and Xiao Ying were Fang Bai’s women, so it seemed reasonable for Fang Bai to give them Space Rings, but he had only just met Fang Bai briefly. Why would he bestow such a generous gift upon him?
Fang Bai smiled and said, "Just now, the Flood Dragon helped me fend off formidable enemies; consider this a gesture of gratitude!"
If it were anything else, the Flood Dragon Venerable might not have been interested. But the ten Space Rings of ninth realm Heavenly Tribulation Venerables were something he could not refuse, so he cheerfully said, "In that case, I shall respectfully accept your generous offer."
Saying so, he transferred the ten Space Rings before him into his own Space Ring.
Liu Qingqing and Xiao Ying, after a bit of modest refusal, joyfully accepted the Space Rings.
For them, these Cultivation Resources not only came in vast quantities but were also all of Royal Grade superior quality, sufficient for many years of cultivation needs. Being personally gifted by Fang Bai, their hearts were full of joy.
