Equipped Ice Blue Evil Dragon

Yang Lie asked curiously, "How much are Hundred-Year Dragon Scale Fruits and Thousand-Year Dragon Scale Fruits?"

Zhao Meixian said, "A Hundred-Year Dragon Scale Fruit sells for around one hundred million yuan. It costs even more on the black market. As for a Thousand-Year Dragon Scale Fruit, a single one can sell for several tens of billions."

Yang Lie said in astonishment, "Why are they so expensive?"

The cultivation resources of an ordinary Hundred Refinements Realm martial artist generally cost around a million, yet a Dragon Scale Fruit sold for as much as one hundred million. The price was simply outrageous.

Zhao Meixian said, "To cultivate a Hundred-Year Dragon Scale Fruit, every Ten-Year Dragon Scale Fruit produced over that century must be turned into nutrients for the Dragon Scale Fruit Tree. The same goes for Thousand-Year Dragon Scale Fruits. A single Thousand-Year Dragon Scale Fruit can create a genius who cultivates dragon-type External Training Martial Arts. It is a treasure only top-tier aristocratic families can enjoy."

Yang Lie asked, "Does the Zhao Family have any Thousand-Year Dragon Scale Fruits?"

Zhao Meixian said, "The Zhao Family descended upon Konghe Star less than a century ago. At present, we control fewer than five Dragon Scale Fruit Trees, and we do not even have any Hundred-Year Dragon Scale Fruits. Moreover, whenever Ten-Year Dragon Scale Fruits ripen, they are picked and used immediately. There is basically no long-term planning."

Although Hundred-Year Dragon Scale Fruits and Thousand-Year Dragon Scale Fruits were more valuable, apart from the Human Alliance's top aristocratic families, most other factions could not wait a hundred or a thousand years. As long as a Ten-Year Dragon Scale Fruit was produced, it would basically be used at once. After all, using it yourself was better than leaving it for unworthy descendants.

Yang Lie suggested, "We'll split the three Dragon Scale Fruits evenly! One each, and you can sell the remaining one. We'll split the money we get!"

"Alright!"

Zhao Meixian gave a slight nod and stepped forward to pick two Ten-Year Dragon Scale Fruits.

Yang Lie said, "Go back to the camp first. I'll return after dealing with something. If you run into an oddity like before, head this way!"

"Got it!"

Zhao Meixian gave Yang Lie a deep look, then turned and left without hesitation.

After using his superhuman sense of smell to confirm that Zhao Meixian had gone far away, Yang Lie simply wrapped his arms around the Dragon Scale Fruit Tree and pulled with all his strength, forcibly uprooting it from the ground.

The instant the Dragon Scale Fruit Tree was uprooted, Yang Lie entered the Small World and planted it in the Spirit Land.

"Consume one spirit stone to heal the Dragon Scale Fruit Tree's injuries?"

"Yes!"

With a thought from Yang Lie, a green beam shot out from the center of the Small World and swept across the Dragon Scale Fruit Tree.

The Dragon Scale Fruit Tree, whose vitality had been steadily draining away, rapidly recovered. Countless roots emerged and burrowed into the Spirit Land, and it quickly came back to life.

"The Dragon Scale Fruit Tree can produce one Hundred-Year Dragon Scale Fruit by absorbing the complete corpse of a third-rank snake-type Extraordinary Creature. Gestation time: 10 days. Consuming 10 spirit stones can accelerate the gestation process tenfold."

"The Dragon Scale Fruit Tree can produce one Thousand-Year Dragon Scale Fruit by absorbing the complete corpse of a fourth-rank snake-type Extraordinary Creature. Gestation time: 100 days. Consuming 100 spirit stones can accelerate the gestation process tenfold."

Yang Lie's lips curled into a faint smile. "This Dragon Scale Fruit Tree needs to absorb the corpses of snake-type Extraordinary Creatures as nutrients before it can quickly produce Dragon Scale Fruits over a hundred years old. Still, snake-type ferocious beasts are easy to find. Being able to produce Hundred-Year Dragon Scale Fruits or better is already excellent!"

Yang Lie had already experienced the might of an Earth Grade Body Refining Martial Art firsthand. If he had not cultivated the Earth Grade Body Refining Martial Art known as the Vajra Skill, then even with the strength of many ferocious beasts, he would have been beaten to death long ago.

Yang Lie left the Small World and swiftly returned to the camp.

Zhao Meixian did not ask any questions and simply went to sleep.

The night passed without further danger, and the two continued through the forest.

Three days later, an enormous Base City appeared before them.

Zhao Meixian's eyes lit up as she looked at the Base City's imposing walls. "We're here! Tai Ling Base City! Once we enter the Base City, we'll be safe!"

"Miss Zhao, your mother sent me to pick you up. Please come with me."

A frivolous voice sounded from nearby. A handsome middle-aged man slowly emerged from the forest with a smile. He wore white clothes, had short hair, a tall build, and delicate light makeup.

"Zhao Meixian!! This guy is bad news!! He seems to be a Heaven and Human Realm expert!"

The moment Yang Lie saw the handsome middle-aged man, his gaze sharpened slightly. With only one glance, he felt as though the man had merged with nature itself, able to draw upon the power of heaven and earth with every gesture.

After tempering their bodies in the Hundred Refinements Realm, Heaven and Human Realm martial artists possessed extraordinarily powerful physiques. Furthermore, they could use true qi and martial will to communicate with the power of heaven and earth, borrowing it to unleash all kinds of formidable martial techniques. Their strength was terrifying.

Although Yang Lie possessed the life force of many ferocious beasts within his body, he knew full well that if he faced a Heaven and Human Realm martial artist, fleeing was his only option. Otherwise, death awaited him.

Zhao Meixian said coldly, "Flower Picking Bee Wei Duoxin! How much did that woman pay you to come after me? I'll pay double for you to deal with her the same way!"

"Miss Mei Xian, I'm a man of integrity! I take money and get the job done! Besides, a peerless beauty like you is rare in this world. In all my years in this business, I've only ever seen one—namely you! Don't worry, I won't kill you too quickly! After I've had my fun and ruined you, I'll sell you to a brothel!"

"It will surely be entertaining to see the lofty young lady of the Zhao Family fall into a lowly whore that any man can have!!"

Greed filled Wei Duoxin's eyes as he stared fixedly at Zhao Meixian's curvaceous figure, a crazed and perverted smile spreading across his face.

"Then go die!!"

A cold gleam flashed through Zhao Meixian's eyes. A vast amount of blue biological matter surged from her back, covering her entire body and transforming her in an instant into a dragon-shaped monster eight meters long, with a pair of blue wings, the head of an evil dragon, and blue scales covering its body.

"Equipped!! Ice Blue Evil Dragon!! Miss Mei Xian, stop!! Don't kill me!! I'll go back and kill your stepmother right away!! Please spare my life!!"

The moment Wei Duoxin saw the dragon-shaped monster, his expression changed drastically. Terror flashed in his eyes as he pushed off the ground and used his movement technique, retreating rapidly like a bizarre giant bee.

Ferocious light flickered in the dragon creature's eyes. It opened its bloodthirsty maw, and an immense, boundless, terrifying dragon might spread from its body, sweeping toward Wei Duoxin.

Swept by the dragon might, Wei Duoxin's body froze for an instant. Fear flashed through his eyes, but then he erupted with incomparably powerful martial will and dispelled the dragon might's intimidation.

A blue beam instantly shot from the dragon creature's mouth and swept over Wei Duoxin. He shattered and collapsed within the blue light, turning into blue ice fragments that scattered with the wind.
