Yuantian Pidao

Chapter 254 The Return of the Dragon Blood
Wuxian Mountain is filled with a strong demonic aura.

The Green Serpent Palace is surrounded by bamboo forests, and little demons appear from time to time, making it quite lively. Although the matter of Lady Qinghua laying the foundation for her Dao is still a secret, known only to a few demon clan leaders, the status of the snake demon clan is rising higher and higher without anyone noticing.

In the dark, secret chamber, surrounded by purplish-black poisonous gas, Lady Qinghua suddenly coughed up a mouthful of blood.

It had been ten days since she returned from Qinghe County. During these ten days, she had been trying to heal her injuries. However, while physical injuries were easy to treat, injuries to her foundation were much more troublesome. Her Dao was only newly formed, and at a low grade. She had been injured by Jiang Chen before.

"Damn it, although my Hundred Poisons Dao Foundation can heal itself with the help of poisons, it is impossible to repair the damage to the foundation itself."

Feeling her own situation, Lady Qinghua's eyes were filled with gloom. She had come on this trip hoping to seize an opportunity to gain some advantage, but she never expected to be outmaneuvered and suffer a great loss. If she hadn't been born into the snake demon clan and had a strong vitality, this would probably have been even more troublesome.

"This time I was careless. That frost dragon must have deliberately lured me there, and had laid out that sea of ​​mist long ago, just waiting for me to go in. If it weren't for that, with the green leaves and flying flowers protecting me, it wouldn't have been so easy for it to hurt me."

A dull ache throbbed in her back, and Lady Qinghua felt a pang of regret.

Having achieved the Dao Foundation, she thought that the only people and demons in the four southern prefectures she could be careful of were a human and a demon. Unexpectedly, a Frost Dragon appeared out of nowhere. This time, she had indeed underestimated the opponent. If she had been more cautious, she would never have ended up like this.

“That Frost Dragon is quite capable. It should also possess a spiritual artifact, just like me. That sea of ​​mist is the best proof of that. I must recover from my injuries as soon as possible. Otherwise, if I delay any longer, it might come looking for trouble once it has fully stabilized its cultivation level.”

"Now it seems that it is time to take back the dragon's blood. I originally wanted to wait a little longer, when the effect would be better, but now I really can't care about that anymore."

"As long as I retrieve the blood of the dragon and use it as a catalyst to successfully transform into a dragon, not only will the injury to my Dao foundation be repaired, but my own strength will also improve. At that time, I will be a dragon, and I will not be afraid of the Frost Dragon in a head-on battle."

After considering the pros and cons and weighing the options, Lady Qinghua made her decision.

This encounter with Jiang Chen made her realize even more clearly the difference between her bloodline and the dragon bloodline. Although they had both just advanced to the Foundation Establishment stage, his powerful bloodline gave him a stronger physical body and more abundant spiritual power, putting him ahead of her in every aspect.

Otherwise, she wouldn't have been at a disadvantage in direct combat. It was precisely because of this that she became increasingly eager for the dragon bloodline. The demon race values ​​bloodlines, and the difference between different bloodlines is enormous, affecting not only combat strength at the same level but also future prospects.

She knew perfectly well that with her Green Snake bloodline, if she didn't change her foundation, she would probably be stuck at this point in her life.

"My son, come to me."

Having made up her mind, Lady Qinghua immediately began to use her spiritual sense to transmit her thoughts.

Soon after, Gao Zixuan appeared before Lady Qinghua.

"Greetings to Mother."

With a respectful expression, showing none of his former arrogance, Gao Zixuan bowed deeply to Lady Qinghua.

Upon hearing this, Qinghua Niangniang's gaze fell on Gao Zixuan, and she scrutinized him closely.

Compared to before, Gao Zixuan's aura is now much stronger, and he has developed many dragon-like features. Not only are his eyes dark green, but fine scales are also growing on his neck and arms, and even his brow is slightly bulging, as if something is about to grow out.

Feeling Qinghua Niangniang's gaze, Gao Zixuan felt extremely uncomfortable. Qinghua Niangniang didn't seem to be looking at him as her son, but rather as a prey. However, he forcibly suppressed this thought as soon as it arose.

After the Gao family was destroyed, he fled to Wuxian Mountain in haste. The Lady of Qinghua treated him very well, not only personally guiding his cultivation, but also providing him with elixirs and medicinal baths every day. If it weren't for this, his cultivation would not have made such great progress in such a short time.

He did a rough calculation and found that the value of the spiritual items he had used during this period was higher than he had in all those years in the Gao family.

"Not bad, not bad at all. It wasn't for nothing that I prepared so many medicinal baths for you during this time." After looking you over from head to toe, Lady Qinghua became more and more satisfied.

To sever her bloodline and preserve herself, Gao Zixuan was naturally not her only option. In fact, she didn't think highly of Gao Zixuan at the beginning. Otherwise, she wouldn't have let Gao Siyuan take Gao Zixuan away so easily.

But the truth is strange. Now, Gao Zixuan, whom she didn't think highly of, has become the vessel she is most satisfied with. Her other offspring have basically died from the corruption of the dragon's blood.

Upon hearing this, Gao Zixuan immediately bowed again.

"Your son is where he is today thanks to your nurturing. If you ever give me any instructions, I will do my utmost."

With a slightly sharp tone, Gao Zixuan made his stance clear.

Upon hearing this, and seeing the unusually submissive Gao Zixuan, Lady Qinghua revealed a strange smile.

“My son is indeed a filial son. Speaking of which, there is something I need you to do for me.”

The sound was drawn out, as if Qinghua Niangniang was implying something.

Upon hearing this, Gao Zixuan was taken aback. He hadn't expected that Lady Qinghua would have something he needed to do. However, since Lady Qinghua had spoken, he naturally couldn't refuse.

"Please give your orders, Mother. I will go through fire and water without hesitation."

With a resolute expression, Gao Zixuan showed no hesitation. His future now rested on Lady Qinghua's shoulders, so he naturally did his best to please her.

Hearing this, Lady Qinghua laughed even more heartily, which, combined with her pale face that was still recovering from serious injuries, made her look somewhat eerie.

"Don't worry, you don't need to go through fire and water, you just need to let me take a bite..."

With her smile lingering, Lady Qinghua activated her secret technique.

In the next instant, the human head transformed into a snake's head, and Lady Qinghua opened her mouth, biting down on Gao Zixuan.

Seeing this scene, Gao Zixuan was terrified. Almost instinctively, he wanted to fight back, but his resistance was extremely weak against the green snake at the Dao Foundation level.

"Mother, Mother... have mercy..."

The snake demon pierced the skin on his neck and felt his life force draining away. Gao Zixuan begged for mercy repeatedly, but the green snake ignored him completely.

The reason she was willing to invest so many spiritual items in Gao Zixuan was for today; as for Gao Zixuan's improvement in cultivation, that was just a side effect.

Uh oh oh oh, in just a moment, Gao Zixuan fell completely silent. At the same time, a stream of dragon blood surged out from his body and returned to the Green Snake's body.

"Soon I will become a true dragon."

As the dragon's blood returned to its rightful place and it sensed the changes within itself, the green snake let out a silvery laugh that echoed in the secret chamber and lingered for a long time.
