Chapter 373 Nine Provinces Divine Beggar

Luo Jun took out the Dragon Core, which emitted a strong aura. It was fine for an ordinary person to carry it around, but it would attract attention if a master encountered it. Since he could successfully absorb it, he might as well consume it as soon as possible.

Just to be on the safe side, he used his powerful vital energy to thoroughly clean it inside and out. Although this thing was not the same as Li Mazi's soul, it was still something used to save his life, so there was no guarantee that it wouldn't leave some residual consciousness.

Although Luo Jun was confident that with his current Spirit Strength and realm, he wouldn't be Body Snatching a monster that hadn't fully transformed into a dragon, it was still best to be cautious.

After sorting through everything and making sure everything was okay, he finally opened his mouth and took a bite.

The Dragon Core, about the size of an apple, was naturally impossible to swallow whole. However, as Luo Jun's teeth touched the Dragon Core, he felt it suddenly become soft, as if it had turned into a large lump of soft, mushy egg custard. It slid down his throat in a flash and transformed into the purest vital energy once inside his stomach!

"This is..." Luo Jun instantly felt his body filled with vital energy. His meridians, which had been slightly loose due to the successful breakthrough, were filled again, and the vital energy began to compress uncontrollably.

At the same time, Luo Jun keenly discovered that the portion of the primordial energy separated from the Dragon Core did not participate in the improvement of his realm, but instead permeated his limbs and bones, beginning to temper his body!

It also has the effect of body strengthening?

Moreover, Luo Jun keenly sensed that the body tempering here was not like cultivating the Body Refinement Realm, which involved permeation through the meridians, but rather direct digestion and absorption through the stomach and intestines!

The digestive system is a natural energy intake system that organisms have developed over millions of years of evolution. While its efficiency may not be as powerful or efficient as the Cultivation Method we acquire later in life, it is the most fundamental and basic pathway as a basic function ingrained in our Genes.

In other words, it is in accordance with the Heavenly Dao.

If the energy ingested through this method is pure and stable enough to perfectly integrate with the body, then its effect on strengthening the body will be the most fundamental!

A wave of comfortable sensation washed over Luo Jun, who was enjoying it, when he suddenly felt a slight tingling or pain spreading throughout his body!

This is...

Luo Jun, who felt pain and itching, was not only not upset, but even pleasantly surprised!

When it comes to physical modifications, the pain and itching indicate a greater degree of transformation and a stronger improvement!

Although it's only Half-Step True Dragon, it's still Dragon Core, which is extraordinary!

Just as Luo Jun was experiencing both pain and pleasure, suddenly, a laugh came from afar.

"Hehehehe... I never thought that Old Man living to such an old age, I would actually witness a dragon-slaying scene today!"

Who is it?

Luo Jun was startled and turned to look. He saw an Old Man standing not far away, dressed in tattered clothes, with disheveled hair and a cane.

This look... could it be from the Beggar Gang?

There are also sects similar to the Beggar Gang ' Sect in the Martial World, but they didn't originally have a unified official name. They were just loose organizations spontaneously formed by beggars from all over the world. The name "Beggar Gang' Sect" was first used by people in the Main World, and later it spread and was accepted by these beggars. Now most of them also call themselves the Beggar Gang' Sect. "Who goes there?" Luo Jun became cautious and tried to mobilize the internal energy in his body, but when he tried to exert his power, he found that his Inner Breath did not follow his will. The absorption of the Dragon Core was not yet complete. It was like having a full stomach. Although he was full, he had indigestion and it was not very convenient for him to move around.

Why at this particular moment...? With Luo Jun's current perception, the fact that this Old Man could arrive so close without a sound shows that he is no ordinary expert!

Facing Luo Jun's wary gaze, the Old Beggar chuckled and walked over to the limp dragon corpse, circling it once. "This Spotted White Dragon, although it has already taken the form of a true dragon, has not yet fully Feather Transformation... Even so, to be able to kill it, your skill is extraordinary... I have truly been in hiding for too long, and I never knew that Young Talent like you had appeared in the martial world?"

To be able to tell that Li Mazi wasn't a true dragon... Luo Jun's opinion of the old beggar rose even higher. While focusing on digesting the Dragon Core within his body, he smiled broadly and said, "What talent? He's just got some brute strength... May I ask how I should address you Senior?"

"What Senior... There are plenty Senior people in this world who live long just to waste food. I've never cared about such formalities. In the Martial World, might makes right." Saying this, the Old Beggar looked at Luo Jun: "Old Man, I made a name for myself. My friends in the martial world gave me the nickname ' The Nine Provinces Divine Beggar.' If you find that troublesome, young brother, you can just call me Old Xiao."

Nine Provinces Divine Beggar?!

Luo Jun's pupils suddenly dilated. Even as a newcomer to the Martial World, he had heard of this name before.

Unlike the Beggar Gang in the Main World of martial arts novels, the Beggar Gang in [Martial World] is a decentralized organization without a clearly defined leader. Beggar Gang ' Sects in different prefectures, counties, and towns each have their own organizational structure. However, all members of the Beggar Gang' Sect generally follow certain "industry rules." Even beggars from other places will be accepted as long as they follow the rules when they arrive in a new place.

These rules of the Beggar Gang' Guild, though only a few in number, have remained unchanged for hundreds of years. All beggars in the world, as long as they are organized, strictly abide by them. No one has ever dared to add or delete a single rule, which shows the deterrent power of these rules!

The one who created these rules was the Nine Provinces Divine Beggar.

This is an ancient immortal who has lived for hundreds of years, rarely seen, one of the three great masters among the Four Sages and Three Wonders, a true Ascended Expert!

Why are people from the Ascension Realm coming to our door?

Luo Jun's mind raced, and he forced a smile. "So it's the Dragon Subduing Great Saint, the Nine Provinces Divine Beggar... If I had known you were nearby, why would I have bothered? With you here, dealing with this immature little dragon cub would be a piece of cake, wouldn't it?"

The so-called Dragon Subduing Great Saint is another nickname of the Nine Provinces Divine Beggar. Legend has it that a vicious dragon once plagued the Central Plains, but the Nine Provinces Divine Beggar intervened and fought it for three days and three nights, finally succeeding in slaying the dragon.

Although Luo Jun expressed doubts about the three days and three nights, he was certain that it must have been a fierce battle back then, and the dragon he killed must have been a true dragon that had completed its evolution... It was precisely because of this feat that the Nine Provinces Divine Beggar's Cultivation Method was called the Dragon Subduing Divine Skill.

Faced with Luo Jun's flattery, the Nine Provinces Divine Beggar chuckled, "You don't need to say nice things. This Old Man didn't come here for this spotted worm..."

As he spoke, a glint of light shone in his old eyes as he stared at Luo Jun: "Not long ago, I sensed an aura that was above the level of Feather Transformation... I just confirmed that it wasn't on this serpent. Besides this beast, the only other person here is you, young brother. I wonder if you would mind taking out that treasure and letting this Old Beggar open his eyes?"
