Golden-Eyed Black Dragon, Four-Clawed Dragon!
Dragon-Nurturing Pool --
Flower Princess and Gai Nie lingered here, while only Qin Zheng could approach the pool. This Dragon-Nurturing Pool was like a treasure basin in the sea...
It is constantly absorbing the Heaven and Earth Spiritual Qi!
Although it's called a pond, its area is the size of a lake, and every now and then, a few small dragons swim through its waters...
The dragons that inhabit this place have extremely pure bloodlines!
Their potential is such that they are all destined to grow to the Third-Tier or higher, and they are the Natal Spirit Beast prepared for the Qin Clan family's descendants...
As Qin Zheng approached, these little dragons swarmed towards him!
The ever-present Kingly Qi greatly benefited these young dragons; in the past, when members of the Qin Clan family came here, they would beg and plead...
I wish I could treat these little dragons like ancestors!
All for a chance to sign a life bond, and now, these once unapproachable little dragons are acting like sycophants...
She kept displaying her alluring figure in front of Qin Zheng!
A group of small dragons even started fighting amongst themselves, as if vying for mating rights, trying to eliminate their rivals to demonstrate their superiority to Qin Zheng...
And all of this-
Qin Zheng found it amusing, and then, following the directions, walked step by step towards the center of the Dragon-Nurturing Pool. Seeing that Qin Zheng ignored them...
The group of little dragons suddenly felt a sense of despair about their lives!
Watching Qin Zheng gradually walk away, they all felt a sense of defeat, like a white moonlight that had steadfastly chosen other dragons. Then they looked again...
Good heavens, so the clown dragon was me! Definitely a loser!
And the deeper you go—
The Dragon Qi gathering on the surrounding water surface became increasingly concentrated, until it turned into mist, isolating the core of the Dragon-Nurturing Pool from the outside world...
Just then, a giant dragon, one blue and one black and white, slowly rose from the water, until finally, its body turned into mist...
Two figures slowly emerged from the sea of mist.
The Qing Centipede and the Mo Li Dragon transformed into half-human, half-dragon forms. Anyone else would have undoubtedly bowed and scraped before them with utmost respect...
But when it was Qin Zheng, Qing Centipede picked Qin Zheng up with a look of doting affection!
"Little master, have you missed Uncle Qing?!"
"Here, have something delicious. After you finish eating, Uncle Qing will take you to see Little Dragon, okay?"
Qing Centipede smiled indulgently, and as he spoke, he handed Qin Zheng a fruit covered in dragon scales...
Qin Zheng didn't stand on ceremony, opened his mouth and took a bite, and juices overflowed!
An extremely pure Dragon Qi continuously nourished Qin Zheng's body, while the dragon-shaped phantom behind him constantly circulated throughout his entire body...
This helps Qin Zheng absorb the essence of the Dragon Fruit, thereby continuously tempering his physique!
Despite his young age, Qin Zheng's current physical strength is several times greater than that of ordinary body cultivators...
Dragon Fruit is produced in very small quantities, only near the Dragon-Nurturing Pool. If cultivated in areas with insufficient Dragon Qi, it needs to be watered with dragon blood to grow properly...
This Dragon Fruit, if priced in Spirit Stone, would be worth at least a thousand Spirit Stone!
In the Great Qin, this was a tribute reserved exclusively for the royal family, but to Qin Zheng Qin Zheng, it was merely a casual snack, or even just an ordinary fruit to please him...
"Uncle Qing is the best! Do you have any more fruit?"
"I want more!"
"Hahaha, good, good, good! As long as the young master likes it, Uncle Qing will make as much as the young master wants!"
Qing Centipede's smile of compassion was so genuine that he practically emptied his coffers...
Meanwhile, Mo Li looked awkward. He wasn't familiar with Qin Zheng, but Ancestor Qin was, after all, Qin Zu's most valued offspring...
At the same time, he is also a prodigy, possessing Innate Spirit Physique!
It would be unreasonable for him not to show some appreciation, so Mo Li took out a bead, which turned out to be an ancient dragon bead!
"My lord, this is a treasure left behind by one of my ancestors. Although it has been around for a long time and has lost its spiritual power..."
"But within it, the source of my ancestor Mo's Dao Law still remains!"
"It's perfect for nourishing the body and protecting health."
Having said that--
A jet-black dragon pearl was handed to Qin Zheng. It felt warm and smooth to the touch, like jade, and contained extremely pure Dragon Qi...
Qin Zheng was quite pleased with it, and just as he put it in his pocket, the dragon pearl was swallowed by the dragon-shaped phantom, which greatly frightened the two dragons!
Qin Zheng unbuttoned his shirt, and saw that a black dot had appeared in the mouth of the dragon-shaped phantom—a pearl held in the dragon's beak...
It symbolizes abundant blessings and good fortune!
Qin Zheng didn't feel anything, but if he had to pinpoint any change, he'd said he was stronger and seemed to have grasped some kind of Divine Ability...
Driven by instinct and acting on impulse, he transformed his palm into a claw and unleashed a strike, instantly imbuing his palm with a mysterious black aura...
Its shape resembles a dragon's claw, and one can faintly hear the roar of a dragon!
[Innate Divine Ability: Corruption Path - Dragon Claw Hand!]
Qin Zheng only tried it once, and it emitted a corrosive aura...
It Void emitted a faint hissing sound, as if even Void could decay, and the Qing Centipede tossed out a dragon scale...
Qin Zheng slapped it with his claw, and the entire dragon scale decayed and vanished into smoke!
"Good!"
"It can even corrode the scales of a Third-Tier dragon. With this Divine Ability, young master is truly like a tiger with wings. Old Mo, you've really gone all out this time..."
Upon hearing this—
Mo Li smiled, not at all distressed.
The item is meant for someone to use; since he doesn't need it anyway, doing him a favor is already a great deal...
After all, this is: Corruption Path - Dragon Claw Hand!
He also possesses this ability; it's Innate Divine Ability of his Ink Flood Dragon lineage. Since the young master has been able to inherit the methods of his Ink Flood Dragon Clan from it...
That's Qin Zheng's skill, so why should he feel sorry for him?
"Alright, Lao Qing, don't try that trick on me."
"Hurry and take the young master there, Boss Lin is probably getting impatient..."
As he spoke--
Without further ado, Qing Centipede picked up Qin Zheng and headed towards the core area. In no time, the view suddenly opened up before them...
The surrounding area was enveloped by mist formed from Dragon Qi, leaving only a small, clear area in the center...
In the center of the water, there is a stone platform.
A huge, dark golden dragon egg was gently shaken...
It's clearly time for them to hatch!
"Young Master has arrived?"
"Come on, have something to eat, and wait a little longer, this little guy will hatch soon..."
As he spoke, Lin Xuan summoned a Jade Stone tea set and laid out various pastries, even the most ordinary dish...
Those are all Spirit Cuisine made from various high-grade Spirit Plant and fruits!
Seeing this, Qin Zheng nodded, then obediently sat down to the side, eating and waiting. It was during this waiting time...
Three dragon-like Demon King were actually circling around a young boy, constantly asking him all sorts of questions and trying to make Qin Zheng happy!
The once arrogant Dragon King Suanni appeared unusually gentle at this moment.
And then--
The dragon egg shattered, and a colossal, jet-black dragon with golden eyes slowly emerged from its shell. But from the moment of its birth...
Then, a light rain began to fall mysteriously, and the raindrops were Spirit Rain formed from Spiritual Qi, silently nourishing this world...
The young dragon saw Qin Zheng at first glance.
The two seemed to be of one mind, like brothers, with the dragon coiled around Qin Zheng's body, constantly rubbing its soft horns against Qin Zheng's face...
It has four legs and four claws, eyes of pure gold, and pure blood.
Compared to creatures like Qing Centipede and Mo Li, it is a level higher. According to the Dragon Race's classification, it has four legs and three claws, making it True Flood Dragon)...
With four legs and four claws, it is Mortal Dragon!
Qing Centipede and Mo Li are True Flood Dragon. If their bloodlines advance further, they will become Mortal Dragon. To advance their bloodlines further, they must break through to the Fifth-Tier...
To become a powerful demon in human form, and thus to become emperor!
Only then can one's bloodline advance further, achieving the body of Mortal Dragon. If one takes another step forward, one becomes the legendary Five-Clawed True Dragon, equivalent to Spirit Transformation cultivator...
This also indirectly shows that this Golden-Eyed Black Dragon has the potential to condense a nascent Nascent Soul and become a fully-formed demon, making it worthy of being Demon Emperor!
Then--
Witnessed by all the dragons, Qin Zheng and the Golden-Eyed Black Dragon forged Natal Contract, vowing to accompany each other for the rest of their lives...
Let's become each other's closest confidants!
Qin Zheng raised the little Black Dragon. Mortal Dragon was no longer a common dragon, but a true dragon, not a jiaolong; its bloodline was noble...
Throughout the entire Great Qin, perhaps only Lin Xuan's bloodline can rival it!
What should I call you?
How about I call you Jintong?
