Chapter 318 The Reappearance of the Remnant Soul
After dealing with the demonic cultivator, Lin Zhao removed the black iron from Ci Rui's body and put it back into his Qiankun bag. Looking at Ci Rui's wide-eyed expression, he raised an eyebrow: "What, you still want to fight?"

At this point, how could the pistil not understand that the other party truly had no intention of killing her, and thus she stopped trying to fight to the death?

"That's how it is here. Once a fight starts, they won't stop until someone is killed. Even though you're a stranger, most cultivators who come here won't show mercy. I always thought that if I didn't kill you, you would definitely kill me."

Lin Zhao responded with an "Oh." "Killing you isn't worth it, and you're not my target. But fighting you really took a lot of effort, so I can't just go back empty-handed."

After all, she and Jin Ya had both eaten earthworm meat before. Although they had never eaten earthworm meat at the Nascent Soul level, it was still nothing new.

Lin Zhao pondered for a moment: "I need to take three things from you."

The pistil said, "What do you want? I'm very poor."

Lin Zhao said, "Give me a piece of your tail."

The pistil immediately bared its teeth, but these little emotions of hers completely disappeared after Lin Zhao's bone sword was plunged into the ground: "Do you have any pain-relieving pills?"

Although for a Nascent Soul stage earth dragon, losing a section of its tail can quickly regenerate as long as its cultivation level remains, however…

It hurts.

Even Nascent Soul stage cultivators feel pain! Especially when their tails are severed.

Upon hearing this, Lin Zhao said, "That's a different price."

The pistil was silent for a while: "I have a lot of magical treasures and artifacts that I've stolen over the years. They're not very useful to me. I'll trade with you."

Upon hearing this, Lin Zhao's eyes lit up: "Then take me there."

The pistil stood up with a soft humming sound and slowly led Lin Zhao towards her home.

"Aren't you worried that I'll lead you into a trap and kill you?"

Seeing Lin Zhao walking behind her with his hands in his pockets, as if he were taking a stroll in his own backyard, without any sign of tension, Ci Rui was a little annoyed.

Lin Zhao laughed and said, "I believe you don't want me to break your bones again."

Even if the bones of a Nascent Soul stage earth dragon are broken, they can be restored quickly, but... as I said before, it still hurts!
Even injuries sustained during the Nascent Soul stage are still injuries!

The pistil, feeling humiliated, snorted, "You just happened to run into me. Later, as an elder here, I have to remind you that if you encounter someone who fights you, you must kill them. This is the rule of survival in Wolong Valley. It has nothing to do with whether you want to fight them or not."

Lin Zhao was silent for a moment: "Was this rule made by someone?"

The way Cixi fought desperately despite knowing she couldn't win was indeed strange, which is why Lin Zhao didn't intend to kill her after she received the explosive punch.

"No, but it's always been like this here, especially closer to the valley. Or rather, this is the survival rule of the dragon race: to kill each other, to live for war, and to fight to the death."

Lin Zhao hissed, finally understanding why Jin Ya wanted to come here; this place was indeed very much in line with Jin Ya's volatile personality.

How long have you lived here?

"It's been almost three thousand years, hasn't it? I've been here since I was born. My parents fought with other spirit beasts and lost. They were torn apart by those spirit beasts. I've been hiding and running away until now. I've only survived because I followed this rule. If I weren't really no match for you, I would have killed you by now."

Lin Zhao glanced at her and said, "Make the tail longer."

pistil:"……"

The female dragon couldn't defeat her, so she could only glare at Lin Zhao furiously and timidly. When Lin Zhao arrived at the female dragon's nest and saw the baby dragon inside, he fell silent.

"This... doesn't seem to be an earth dragon, does it?" Lin Zhao looked at the young dragon inside, whose skin and scales resembled pieces of cardboard. He really wanted to reach out and poke it. This little guy was almost as tall as him, but compared to his mother, he was just a tiny creature.

"Oh, his father is a black dragon. When I got pregnant with this cub, I had all sorts of discomfort. I thought I wouldn't be able to give birth, but I don't know where he found a pill and fed it to me. The cub suddenly became stable in my belly. Then he went into Wolong Valley saying he was going to find medicine for the cub to be born in the future, and he never came back. It's been about three years. He must have died in there."

The pistil stretched out its claws and flicked its son's head, then laughed heartily as the little guy rolled around covering his head.

The little guy must have been bullied badly. After being flicked on the forehead, he actually snuggled up to Lin Zhao and whimpered for comfort.

Lin Zhao was surprised that the little guy was so close to her.

The pistil was also surprised. Her cub looked small and didn't seem to have any temper, but as a hybrid of an earth dragon and a black dragon, this little cub could tear apart living things when it was only a month old. He was never so affectionate towards the things she brought back before.

Lin Zhao quickly understood why the other person was so close to her.

"Master?"

She could hardly believe her own guess.

Grandma Honghu knew what Lin Zhao wanted to ask. "Yes, this little guy has the aura of the remnant soul of the Ancestral Dragon. It should be a wisp of the soul. Compared with your eldest brother, who is the complete soul of the Ancestral Dragon, it is not enough. But it is indeed a pure remnant soul of the Ancestral Dragon."

How could a young dragon possibly withstand such energy?
Moreover, half of the little guy's bloodline was not that of a true dragon, which undoubtedly exacerbated his suffering.

This must be why his father wanted to go deep into Wolong Valley to find medicine.

Lin Zhao possesses the soul essence left behind by Lin Yu, which is an effective tool to soothe the remnant soul. Naturally, the little guy is very affectionate towards Lin Zhao.

"I don't know what your name is?" Lin Zhao rubbed the little guy's head and asked the pistil.

"Oh, his father named me Pistil."

Upon hearing this, Lin Zhao was taken aback to find that such a large and robust female dragon, whether in human or dragon form, had such an elegant name.

The pistil saw what she was thinking and said, "Don't look at me like this now. Before the baby was born, although I wasn't as pretty as you, I was still considered a beauty in the eyes of humans. I became like this because I was testing medicine for this little baby."

Upon hearing this, Lin Zhao asked, "How long have you been pregnant?"

"Five years."

Five years, while the normal gestation period for earthworms is three years.

Pregnancy, stillbirth, a strange encounter, an accident.

These words seemed like a replay of the Lin family's past, and Lin Zhao quickly pieced everything together.

In other words, this little guy couldn't be born when his mother was pregnant for the second year because his father's bloodline was too strong and his mother's bloodline couldn't keep up. However, the black dragon somehow obtained a pill containing the remnant soul of the ancestral dragon and fed it to the female pistil. With the power of the remnant soul of the ancestral dragon, the child was saved.

The Wolong Valley of the Ancestral Phoenix Continent... people from the Ancestral Dragon Continent have been spotted there.

Lin Zhao clicked her tongue, annoyed by these troublesome matters, and asked Ci Rui, "What do you plan to do? You can also sense that the child isn't in a good state, right?"

Ciss looked at the sleeping baby dragon nestled against Lin Zhao, her earthen-yellow dragon eyes revealing obvious sadness: "We, as his parents, have done everything we could for him. If we can't save him... then we really can't save him."
