Li Xiao Easily Claims the Dragon Vein

"Boss, you weren't lying to me? You really have dragon blood?"

Looking at the demonic dragon's hopeful gaze, Li Xiao seemed to perform a magic trick.

He turned his palm over, and a jade bottle appeared out of thin air. He tossed it toward the demonic dragon.

Shaking off its earlier dejection, the demonic dragon nimbly caught it in its mouth and swallowed it.

In an instant, the demonic dragon felt scorching heat throughout its body, as though it were burning. Then its body rapidly swelled.

"Boss, save me."

"The blood Qi in this true dragon blood is extremely overbearing. You really aren't afraid of dying, are you?"

Li Xiao looked at the demonic dragon before him as though it were an idiot, then pointed from a distance.

An invisible force entered the demonic dragon's body.

"This true dragon blood is extremely overbearing. You can't absorb it all at once. Judge your limits yourself."

The next moment, the demonic dragon's insides churned like rivers and seas overturning, and its body instantly turned scarlet.

Two dragon horns emerged from its forehead, and black scales covered its body like a suit of imposing armor.

Roar!

A dragon's cry rang throughout the Hundred Thousand Mountains, making every beast prostrate itself.

"Boss, this little dragon will serve as your ox and horse for the rest of his life. I won't hesitate to climb mountains of blades or plunge into seas of fire for you."

The black demonic dragon deeply bowed its proud head toward Li Xiao.

Damn it, I thought I'd just latched onto a powerful thigh today. Who knew this thigh would be so thick that he could even produce something like true dragon blood?

At that moment, it submitted completely.

"All right. From now on, you'll be the guardian demonic beast of my Li Lineage. Are you willing?"

Li Xiao looked seriously at the demonic dragon before him as he spoke.

"Yes, yes! This little dragon couldn't be more willing!"

The next moment, Li Xiao flicked out a drop of blood and formed a contract with the demonic dragon.

"Holy shit, Young Master, you really have dragon blood?"

Li Dan was shaken to his core, his eyes filled with shock.

Who knew how long legendary creatures like dragons had been gone?

Yet the young master actually had dragon blood.

Just what had happened to the young master these past two days?

Alongside his shock, Li Dan's heart was filled with questions.

"It's only dragon blood. I also have phoenix blood, qiongqi blood... Want some?"

Li Xiao teased him.

Never mind divine beast blood-the system had already unlocked all its permissions for him. He could have anything he wanted.

"Don't joke, Young Master. At my realm, I'd probably explode and die if I touched even a trace of this true dragon blood."

Li Dan hurriedly shook his head.

Beside them, a gleam flashed through the demonic dragon's eyes when it heard Li Xiao's words.

He really is a powerful thigh.

"From now on, your name will be Long Aotian. Any objections?"

Li Xiao looked at the demonic dragon before him and spoke slowly.

"Long Aotian, what a fine name! Boss, not only are you powerful, but your literary talent is also so great. This little dragon's admiration for you is like the surging waters of a river, flowing without end."

Fuck, why is this dragon such a shameless suck-up?

Beside them, Li Dan felt a surge of displeasure. A dragon was stealing his rice bowl.

Li Xiao waved his hand.

"Enough. Shrink down and hurry up and take me to the dragon vein. I came here to dig it up."

Move the dragon vein?

Long Aotian froze at those words, then immediately shrank his body to the size of an earthworm.

Moving the dragon vein is great. Move that dragon vein!

I've fucking stayed here for who knows how many years, all because I coveted the dragon vein's spiritual power.

Today, not only did Boss transform me into a dragon, but he's also going to move the dragon vein.

Wouldn't that just amount to moving me into a new home?

There's actually such a good deal? Long Aotian was instantly ecstatic.

This heaven-drenching wealth had finally come his way. He had to seize it.

Long Aotian hurriedly flew deeper into the cave, not forgetting to clear the loose stones and weeds along the way into a clean path.

Li Xiao and Li Dan followed close behind.

"Boss, this is the place."

Soon, the two stopped behind Long Aotian.

Li Xiao looked up.

Before him stood an enormous altar. In its center, a completely transparent, diamond-shaped stone emitted waves of spiritual power that spread throughout the Hundred Thousand Mountains.

A fruit tree grew beside the altar, laden with bright red fruit.

"Holy shit, Young Master, this... this is Vermilion Fruit! The legendary Vermilion Fruit!"

Li Dan dashed toward the Vermilion Fruit tree.

Vermilion Fruit bloomed once every thousand years and bore fruit once every thousand years. One bite was worth a hundred years of cultivation, making it an excellent cultivation aid for those below the Emperor Realm.

"What a country bumpkin. He's never seen the world."

Long Aotian muttered disdainfully.

At his realm, these things had long since become useless. All these years, he had only used them to quench his thirst.

Li Xiao raised his right hand slightly, and the Vermilion Fruits on the tree fell into his hand one after another.

"Here, take these and distribute them as you see fit."

"Young... Young Master, you're giving... giving all of them to me?"

Li Dan asked in a trembling voice, finding it somewhat hard to believe.

"These are useless to me. Take them and share them with the other Li Lineage disciples."

Li Xiao waved his hand generously.

"Young Master, you're fucking awesome! So generous!"

Li Dan took the Vermilion Fruits, his entire body trembling with excitement.

Treasures like these would absolutely send the major factions into a frenzy of competition in the outside world, yet the young master had tossed them to him like garbage.

Such bearing, such vision. No wonder he's the young master.

Ignoring this fool, Li Xiao stepped toward the altar before him.

"System, what is this stone? How does it possess such might?"

"Ding, Master, this object is a prism crystal. The main reason this prism crystal possesses such power is the enhancement from the formation within this altar."

"There is also a formation around that formation, sealing off the altar."

Li Xiao paused at those words. Looking closely, he saw that there was indeed a formation outside the altar.

But it could not stop him. He lightly pointed forward, and the formation shattered like glass.

The next moment, he made no unnecessary movements.

Li Xiao moved his finger slightly, and a thunderous rumbling came from beneath the entire altar.

Then dust billowed as the entire altar was uprooted before the eyes of Li Dan and Long Aotian.

Li Dan's jaw nearly dropped to the ground in shock. He stared, dumbstruck.
