Profound Yin Water Marrow, Black Dragon Acquired!
Speaking of this--
Qin Zhuang advised, "Fifth Brother, Father will not allow this innate technique, nor will I pass it on to you. Using this method to save someone will only harm yourself and your life..."
"Wasn't Second Brother's lesson profound enough?"
"If we were to ask a highly skilled cultivator for assistance with conception, it would disturb my father's cultivation..."
"I certainly couldn't bring myself to do that."
"To disturb Father's peaceful retreat for such a trivial matter only makes us sons look utterly useless..."
"As for the Essence Blood of high-level Demon Beast, it's best to choose the bloodline of crocodile-type Demon Beast, such as: Profound Water Crocodile, Golden Gate Crocodile, Dark Tide Vicious Crocodile, etc..."
"These crocodile demons are all descendants of Second-Tier- or even Third-Tier Demon Beast."
"Leaving aside the difficulty of obtaining it, its very existence is elusive; it hasn't appeared in the world for many years, not even in a vast swamp like Yunmeng Marsh..."
"Among the crocodile-like Demon Beast, the most elite is the Black Armor Crocodile."
"So..."
"Fifth Brother, give up on that idea. If you really want to save him..."
"Then I'll have to trouble Father."
After listening--
Qin Zhao was momentarily speechless. He would never choose the first option. People like him who seek the Dao often value their own lives more than anything else!
He would never risk his own lifespan to save a Demon Beast...
He was also unwilling to accept this second option.
This third option is perhaps worth trying...
"Sixth brother, do you think this will do?"
As he spoke, Qin Zhao took out a jade bottle and handed it to his sixth brother Qin Zhuang...
The latter, after briefly sensing the contents of the bottle, revealed a hint of surprise!
"Second-Tier water-attribute treasure, the Profound Yin Water Marrow!"
"Fifth Brother, where did you get this? Did you commit murder and arson? Or did you receive the inheritance of some senior master?"
"This is a cultivation treasure that Water Dao cultivators dream of!"
"A single drop of Water Essence is worth a hundred Spirit Stone!"
"Just a single drop can grant Water Dao cultivator a slight affinity for water, and even imbue their Spiritual Power with a cold quality..."
"Transformed into: Profound Yin Cold Qi!"
Qin Zhuang, Water Dao, clearly understood its value!
For Warrior who Water Dao, a single drop of Profound Yin Water Marrow is comparable to a Qi Condensation Pill, serving as a means to cultivate one's vital energy!
It will increase the probability of breaking through to a higher realm by at least 20%!
Seeing how excited my sixth brother was--
Qin Zhao smiled and frankly told him:
"I travel extensively for business, and I often encounter strange and bizarre things..."
"This bottle of Profound Yin Water Marrow was sold to me cheaply, disguised as Cold Spirit Water, by a small Lineage in Yunmeng, just to curry favor with me."
"It is precisely because of this treasure that I considered breeding a Black Armor Crocodile..."
"If this item were used, could it save them?"
Upon hearing this—
Qin Zhuang withdrew his burning gaze, though his heart yearned...
But since they were family, he wouldn't covet his brother's things. After calming himself down and thinking for a moment...
But he still shook his head and replied:
"This item is useful, but this little guy's bloodline is too weak; he can't withstand it..."
"Unless, we find a powerful demon willing to strengthen its bones with its blood, and further nourish it with the Profound Yin Water Marrow, thus elevating its foundation, then perhaps that would be feasible..."
"But how could a great demon possibly agree?"
"Lin Yue's blood, though effective, is ultimately not Second-Tier, and its quality may not be sufficient..."
"It seems unlikely to succeed..."
"Etc!"
At that moment, Qin Zhao suddenly thought of something and quickly interrupted, saying:
"You say..."
"If we offer a few drops of Water Essence, will Senior Qing Centipede help us?"
Will this work?
Qin Zhuang raised an eyebrow, somewhat uncertain; the power of that Qing Centipede was truly terrifying...
"Or..."
Shall we give it a try?
The moon is past its midpoint -- Spirit Beast Peak -- Azure Insect Abyss
A chill crept into the Insect-Nurturing Pool, the water transforming into a blend of blue and green, even acquiring a hint of poisonous cold...
One by one, white and blue centipedes crawled out of the pool and transformed into demonic insects.
Even the body of the Qing Centipede—
It also developed some more white demonic markings, and its size even increased slightly...
Spirit Deer Peak --
In a stone trough, Black Armor Crocodile Egg soaked in bluish insect blood, silently nourishing the eggs and sustaining their life...
Its blood, containing a chilling quality, is constantly replenished by the abundant moisture from the Water Dao.
This made the blue patterns on the eggshell even more dazzling, and they even continued to spread, clearly indicating that everything was developing in a positive direction...
"Soon..."
"Judging by the time, this little guy will hatch today..."
"The rest is up to Heavenly Fate. It all depends on this little guy's destiny. Whether he's a dragon or a worm, we should find out today."
As he spoke--
Qin Zhuang and Qin Zhao silently awaited the opportunity to hatch...
For this little guy, Qin Zhao took out six of the seven drops of Profound Yin Water Marrow, three of which were offered to the Qing Centipede...
In exchange, they obtained the blood of Second-Tier insect demon, while the Profound Yin Water Marrow enhanced the foundation of the Insect-Nurturing Pool!
The other three drops--
One drop was infused with insect blood to aid in the hatching of the crocodile eggs; another drop was given to the sixth brother, the only one in the family skilled in water magic...
I have helped him in his cultivation, and given all that assistance, I deserve a drop.
The other drop was handed over to the Lineage.
It was later sealed within Cold Crystal Stone, transforming into a Second-Tier treasure to suppress the water veins, which was placed in Ba Lake to enhance its power...
Suppress the water veins, elevate the spiritual essence of the waters!
It even added a touch of chill to the entire body of water in Ba Lake...
As for the last drop of Profound Yin Water Marrow.
Qin Zhao kept it, intending to use it as material for the Black Armor Crocodile to break through to the Second-Tier in the future, which could be considered a contribution to the Lineage...
"Um?"
"It looks like it's about to come out?!"
Upon hearing this—
Qin Zhao quickly stepped forward, staring intently at the crocodile egg. With a "crack," the eggshell shattered, and a tender black claw broke through the shell!
Immediately afterwards--
The eggshell was largely broken, and a baby crocodile, more than a foot long, hatched!
Its appearance is identical to that of a common Black Armor Crocodile, except that its pupils are dark green and a blue stripe runs along its back on its scales...
"Waaah~"
The baby crocodile looked at Qin Zhao, as if it mistook him for its parents...
Then it began to gnaw on the eggshell, soaking in the icy insect blood, and soon curled up into a ball and fell into a deep sleep.
At first glance--
It seems to be no different from a regular Black Armor Crocodile.
However, its aura had clearly reached the First-Tier Inferior-Grade!
Born a demon!
Its potential is enormous, and barring any unforeseen circumstances, it will surely reach the Second-Tier. At that time, the Beichuan Qin Family will step into a new era!
"Is it done?"
I guess so...
"Fifth Brother, hurry up and sign the master-servant contract. The sooner we take control of the young beast, the better."
Qin Zhao nodded slightly, then forced out a drop of his heart's blood and poured it into the baby crocodile's body, forming a master-servant contract...
"It's done!"
From now on, we'll call him: Black Dragon!
"The Black Dragon that protects the Black Dragon Chamber of Commerce, the guardian spirit beast of Black Dragon Peak, sponsored by Black Dragon Peak, leads the Black Armor Crocodile to protect and escort the Black Dragon Chamber of Commerce!"
