Wizards in the world of cultivation

Chapter 181 Capture
Every time the Dragon Blood Vine moves, it stirs up a surging blood lake stretching for thousands of miles around.

At their level, a casual strike can cause immense damage to an area spanning tens of thousands of miles.

It is common for mountains to be uprooted and seas to be split.

As the Dragon Blood Vine gradually receded into the distance, the Sea Emperor Conch transformed into a blue light and plunged directly into the Blood Lake.

The Blood Lake appears murky on the outside, but once inside, it is crystal clear and exudes a peculiar fishy fragrance.

“This blood lake is probably formed from a drop of a true dragon’s essence blood.” An Ling’er collected some of the blood and judged, “The power of a true dragon is such that a drop of its blood can turn into an ocean. I wonder if there is any real true dragon blood left.”

The essence blood, now transformed into a sea of ​​crimson, has lost much of its effect. While it still has a strong effect on most creatures, it is of little use to high-level demonic beasts or even to An Ling'er.

As he swam to the bottom, Su You's eyes widened immediately.

dragon!
Tianlong!

This is a giant dragon that rises in layers, spiraling upwards, and is at least five thousand miles long.

The dragon was incredibly lifelike, with wide-open eyes and an aura of immense power emanating from it. The surging dragon energy made the place feel suffocating.

"I never expected there to be a complete corpse of a Heavenly Dragon here!" Su You exclaimed in surprise.

The dragon's corpse is still intact, especially its shimmering scales, which make it seem as if it were still alive.

Unfortunately, it had lost all its divine aura. Even if its remaining power was strong, it was still just a fallen celestial dragon.

Originally, Su You was hoping to find some remains left by a true dragon in this blood lake.

While the remains are not yet visible, a complete celestial dragon body has been discovered, making it even more valuable.

After all, this celestial dragon possessed a powerful aura and was at least a ninth-tier being.

If a powerful celestial dragon can be preserved so well, it is no less valuable than the remains of some true dragons, and may even be more valuable.

After all, the remains of a true dragon could be refined to improve one's cultivation or used to forge supreme treasures.

However, this complete celestial dragon body is different; using it merely for refining treasures or increasing cultivation is a very wasteful measure.

Its true purpose is to reuse the entire body and revive it, thus greatly increasing the chances of obtaining a ninth-tier celestial dragon again.

Even if he couldn't do that, Su You could still use it as a raw material for refining biological nests.

This allows for the mass production of dragon-attribute units, which is much faster than slowly cultivating an army using bloodline potions.

The reason why the Biological Nest was able to replace the Bloodline Legion in the Wizarding World is because of its superior cost-effectiveness and convenience.

The units it produces are cheaper than those it trains itself, and in terms of speed and functionality, they are in no way inferior to, and may even be superior to, those of the Bloodline Legion.

The body of this ninth-tier celestial dragon is indeed the most precious treasure Su You has ever seen.

It is even more precious than the Dream Butterfly Mirror in his hand.

After all, a complete ninth-order celestial dragon body can be used to refine more than one ninth-order magic weapon. Even if all of them are used together to refine, they can still produce a very high-quality ninth-order magic weapon.

"I wonder what kind of powerful enemy it encountered in its lifetime, that it didn't even suffer the slightest harm before it perished," Su You thought with emotion.

The Heavenly Dragon's body was so well preserved that there were no wounds on its body at a glance. It was obviously not caused by external force, but more likely that its soul had been directly destroyed.

Otherwise, its body wouldn't have been preserved so perfectly.

I really don't know what level of power it takes to be able to annihilate someone's soul without damaging their physical body.

"Cloud Sea Flow, Capture the Dragon Corpse!"

An Ling'er gently blew the conch shell, and countless streams of seawater surged from the void, transforming into fine threads that tightly wrapped around the Heavenly Dragon's body.

The entire body of the celestial dragon was dragged directly into the spatial portal and landed heavily in the boundless ocean.

The moment the dragon corpse was dragged away, the Dragon Blood Vine seemed to sense something and finally stopped chasing. It then frantically rushed back to its original location, each step creating waves tens of thousands of feet high.

Unfortunately, it was too late. After the Void Gate closed, the Dragon Blood Vine, carrying boundless rage, lashed out with its whip.

This whip cracked like thunder, turning the entire void into a crimson light.

The Wings of the Kunpeng!

call!
A silver light carved a safe path through the blood-red shadows, instantly carrying the Sea King Conch away.

Kunpeng's extreme speed was no joke; even amidst a sky full of whip shadows, he still managed to bring the Sea Emperor Conch out.

An Ling'er did have other ways to leave, but the best option was to have her demon beast legion take her away.

These whip shadows ultimately missed their mark, landing in the blood lake. For hundreds of thousands of miles around, vast swathes of land cracked open, and countless drops of blood were splashed up.

……

In the vast forests hundreds of thousands of miles away.

An Ling'er and Su You looked excitedly at the intact corpse of the Heavenly Dragon before them.

This trip to explore the ruins was originally a spontaneous decision, but I never expected to gain so much.

The value of a complete ninth-tier celestial dragon's corpse is simply astonishing.

If this news gets out, not only those experts at the Tribulation Transcending Realm, but even some experts who have already become immortals might be envious and come to snatch it.

After all, this was a ninth-order celestial dragon, almost at the pinnacle of evolution, just one step away from becoming a true dragon and soaring through the world. Unfortunately, it encountered a calamity and was left with only a broken body, ultimately serving as a stepping stone for others.

After escaping, Su You and his group did not continue exploring the entire ruins. The gains they had made this time were already substantial enough; they would see if they could make use of them.

As for refining it into a creature's nest, Su You's strength is far from sufficient. He doesn't know how long it would take to be able to utilize this dragon corpse. It's better to use it now. When his cultivation improves in the future, he might be able to obtain another celestial dragon body, or even a better demon beast body.

"So? Is there a way to separate it?" Su You asked An Ling'er.

This celestial dragon's body is far too tough; it would be quite difficult to utilize it.

Even the Kunpeng phantom formed by An Ling'er's demon beast legion could not cause the slightest damage to this heavenly dragon's body.

Tianlong is, after all, a top-tier existence among demonic beasts, and is indestructible in every aspect, including its physical body.

The scales on its body alone are as hard as those of ninth-tier magic weapons, making it extremely difficult to break through.

Su You was also very envious of these dragon scales. If they could be refined into defensive magic treasures, they would be no less powerful than ninth-tier defensive magic treasures.

Unfortunately, these dragon scales were of such a high grade that even if Su You managed to remove them, he was unable to refine them.

Su You only had a seventh-tier Qionghua Cauldron in his hand, and the furnace fire inside was only enough to melt seventh-tier materials.

Now, we can only see if An Ling'er has the means to refine it.

An Ling'er strolled on the dragon's body, quickly reaching the seven-inch mark on its body, and continuously tapped the surrounding dragon scales.

“It’s very difficult to dissect this dragon’s body piece by piece. With my current cultivation level, I can’t do it for now. Only when my cultivation breaks through to the Mahayana realm and I gather a group of demonic beasts to form the Kunpeng Sky-Piercing Formation can I break through its defenses.” An Ling’er continued to work while dissecting the dragon’s body. Suddenly, when she touched a dragon scale, a look of surprise appeared on her face. “Finally found it! The true reverse scale of this heavenly dragon!”

Su You looked at the dragon scale under An Ling'er's feet. Whether from the appearance or by scanning it with his divine sense, it was difficult to see that this dragon scale was different from the other dragon scales.

The reverse scale is the most special scale among the dragon's body scales. It protects the weakest part of the body, so the defensive ability of the reverse scale is generally much stronger than that of other dragon scales.

An Ling'er wasn't looking for this reverse scale to peel it off; she already struggled to remove even ordinary dragon scales, let alone this much harder reverse scale.

What she really cared about was that, according to the habits of most dragons, they would create a small space within their reverse scale to store the treasures they had collected.

And within this reverse scale, there is a high probability that the treasures stored by this celestial dragon during its lifetime are preserved.

This is the wealth stored up by a ninth-tier celestial dragon. Even a small amount would be enough for the two of them to make a fortune.

Su You approached the Reverse Scale and poured his magic power into it. Sure enough, he could feel the difference of this Reverse Scale and clearly sensed that there was a small space inside that still existed, but it was sealed.

Originally, they were not strong enough to break the seal, but the Heavenly Dragon had been dead for far too long, and its magic could not achieve immortality like its physical body.

The magical seal on the reverse scale is also weakening little by little.

If Su You and his group hadn't discovered the Heavenly Dragon's body, the seal on the reverse scale would have naturally weakened over hundreds of thousands of years, at which point the treasures inside would have gushed out and scattered to the outside world.

An Ling'er is now activating her blue aura, constantly attacking the magical seal on it, while Su You is also constantly expending his magical power to attack the seal.

After the two exhausted their magical power, An Ling'er had the demon beast army form an array and summoned the phantom of Kunpeng to wear down the seal on it.

It took two whole months for the seal on the Reverse Scale to be truly lifted.

The moment the contact was released, items within the Reverse Scale Space began to gush out and fall into An Ling'er's ocean world.

Items imbued with spiritual energy floated in the void, and gourds of purple-gold liquid poured out, filled with a large quantity of unfamiliar elixirs.

There were also dozens of powerful magical artifacts that began to glow as soon as they left the Reverse Scale Space, trying to escape.

These magical artifacts are all of very high quality and possess their own spirits.

If these magical artifacts were in the outside world, they might actually escape.

However, this is the ocean world that An Ling'er completely controls. Here, she is the master of heaven and earth. Unless it is an existence far beyond her strength, she can easily suppress it.

In addition, some ancient spiritual herbs, some special mineral materials, and so on, have emerged in the Reverse Scale Space.

After a chaotic initial collection, An Ling'er gradually regained control, and the treasures began to be arranged densely and orderly in the void.

Su You could see that thousands of miles of void were completely obscured, which showed how many things were inside the Reverse Scale Space.

After completely emptying the Reverse Scale Space of treasures, An Ling'er and Su You began to take inventory of them.

A large quantity of various unknown spirit ores, spirit herbs, and other materials, all of which were seventh, eighth, or even ninth-grade, appeared before his eyes as if they were free.

"No wonder they say every dragon is a walking treasure trove. It's not just their physical bodies that are valuable, but also the treasures they collect that are priceless," Su You couldn't help but sigh.

Among these materials, there were many that he had only seen at some high-end auctions before, each of which sold for an astronomical price. Unfortunately, he was too poor to participate in the bidding. He never expected that they would appear in front of him as if they were free.

Aside from these materials, Su You was most interested in the magical artifacts and elixirs.

After all, these are magical treasures and elixirs collected by Tianlong, and their value is definitely not low.

Su You opened a purple-gold gourd, and a strong medicinal aura wafted out, making him feel as if he had been elevated.

Just one whiff of it gave me a refreshing feeling, and my soul was stirring with excitement. This pill was clearly one that could enhance the soul.

Su You took out a silver needle and, using the method of identifying pills, removed a wisp of the pill without damaging it, then swallowed it.

The next moment, he felt his whole body rise up, and his soul seemed to be constantly expanding and contracting. In a short while, the origin of his soul increased by a little more than half.

“This pill…” Su You looked at the fist-sized pill in front of him with some shock. “The effect is too strong. It is very likely a ninth-grade pill, and its effect is on the soul.”

Su You could only make a simple judgment at this point, since the quality of the pill was too high; it could be an eighth-grade or even a ninth-grade pill.

Moreover, judging from the patterns on the pill, this pill will be of the highest quality after it is refined.

However, regardless of the grade of the pill, it was an extremely high-quality pill for the two of them, and one that could provide them with the necessary assistance.

Although these pills are of very high grade, they can use the pill-dividing method to consume them little by little without worrying about the medicinal properties being too strong and causing them to explode.
