Delicious Dragon Meat Needs to Be Marinated in Spiritual Qi

Zhao Gongming watched as Lin Tian casually lit a fire beneath the stone cauldron.

He really did seem intent on boiling the "fish" and eating it.

Zhao Gongming was filled with horror.

That was Yazi, the son of the Dragon Clan's Ancestral Dragon.

His strength was at least at the Peak Daluo Golden Immortal level.

Yet now he was in such a sorry state, and had even ended up as a meal for Senior.

Wasn't Senior afraid of the Dragon Clan's revenge!?

After that thought crossed his mind,

Zhao Gongming found the idea a little ridiculous.

Senior's strength was unfathomable.

Since he dared to boil and eat him,

why would he care about revenge from a mere Dragon Clan?

Just as he was thinking this,

Lin Tian's voice suddenly came from in front of him, interrupting his thoughts.

"Wait a moment. I'm going inside to get something."

With that, Lin Tian headed into the house.

Watching Lin Tian's retreating figure,

Yunxiao no longer held the disdain she had felt before.

Only shock and amazement filled her heart.

"Senior Brother, this senior truly is unfathomable..."

"How laughable. I thought he was just an ordinary Heavenly Immortal before."

"Now it seems I was the ignorant one..."

Yunxiao was not the only one who felt this way.

Even Bixiao and Qiongxiao, standing behind her, looked stunned.

"Yes, there seems to be an exceptionally powerful formation in this house."

"It constantly releases incomparably pure spiritual Qi, even denser than the spiritual Qi on Jin'ao Island."

"And the little goldfish in this cauldron is actually a direct descendant of the Dragon Clan."

"Yet this senior is boiling him to eat, and looks completely unconcerned."

"He doesn't take the Dragon Clan seriously at all!"

Hearing the shock in the Three Xiaos' voices,

Zhao Gongming smiled faintly and said,

"Well?"

"I didn't lie to you, did I?"

"What you've noticed is only the tip of the iceberg."

As he spoke, he lifted his chin, motioning for the Three Xiaos to look ahead.

"Look at that wooden zither by the threshold of the cabin up ahead."

"It's at least a Supreme-Grade Innate Spiritual Treasure."

"Yet Senior left it in that corner."

A Supreme-Grade Innate Spiritual Treasure?!

When Zhao Gongming finished speaking,

the Three Xiaos' gazes froze.

They instinctively looked in that direction.

There, by the threshold, sat a wooden zither that looked filthy and old.

It gave off no particular presence.

But when their spiritual senses fell upon it,

they immediately sensed a powerful surge of spiritual Qi coming from the utterly ordinary-looking wooden zither.

Hum!

That overpowering presence snuffed out the divine senses they had released, leaving no room for resistance.

In an instant, the Three Xiaos' faces turned pale.

"Such powerful spiritual Qi!"

"It's definitely a Supreme-Grade Innate Spiritual Treasure!"

A look of astonishment appeared in Yunxiao's beautiful eyes.

"There are only a handful of Supreme-Grade Innate Spiritual Treasures in all. How come I've never heard of this one?"

Bixiao said, "Eldest Sister, the Primordial World is so vast. It's not impossible for there to be treasures we don't know about."

Bixiao was also filled with shock.

Supreme-Grade Innate Spiritual Treasures were immensely important and rare.

They were tremendously powerful and could greatly increase one's combat strength.

Yet who would have thought that one would be treated like this here at Senior's place?

Just as those thoughts crossed the Three Xiaos' minds,

thud!

Lin Tian happened to reach the wooden door.

Under the Three Xiaos' stunned gazes,

he stepped right onto the wooden zither.

The wooden zither let out a humming sound.

The Three Xiaos were stunned!

"This..."

"He just stepped on it?"

"That's a Supreme-Grade Innate Spiritual Treasure!"

The Three Xiaos stared wide-eyed, their gazes full of disbelief.

Zhao Gongming, standing nearby, saw their expressions change.

A teasing impulse arose in his heart.

Sure enough, seeing it with their own eyes was the best way to show them how remarkable Senior was!

"This Supreme-Grade Innate Spiritual Treasure is actually nothing more than Senior's stepping stone."

"Its only usual use is as a footrest."

"It has no other use!"

Zhao Gongming's calm voice rang out.

The Three Xiaos trembled and finally couldn't help sucking in a cold breath.

Their faces were filled with horror!

No wonder Senior Brother Gongming, who held his head above everyone else, treated this young man the way he did.

This ordinary-looking young man

truly was anything but ordinary!

Perhaps,

now that they had come here, they really might receive guidance!?

Those thoughts flashed through their minds.

Just as the Three Xiaos were about to say something,

Boom!

All of a sudden,

from the cauldron before them

came a deafening explosion!

A flash of golden light appeared.

Zhao Gongming and the other three all froze.

They instinctively looked ahead.

The little goldfish in the cauldron had begun to grow.

Finally,

four claws sprouted

from the fish's originally golden body.

Its fish tail transformed into a tail.

From a distance, it looked very much like a jackal's tail.

Its body also began to expand outward.

Its skin was still covered in golden scales, but it had grown considerably larger.

Its head began to change as well, and its originally tiny dragon horns grew much longer.

At the sight,

the Three Xiaos froze!

"Has this dragon regained his true form?"

"He's far too ugly."

"But he was clearly a fish just now. Why does he look like this now?"

"Could this be Yazi's true form?"

Hearing the Three Xiaos' startled questions,

Zhao Gongming looked at Yazi in the cauldron and explained,

"Yazi was born of the Ancestral Dragon and a jackal."

"It's only natural that he has traits of both a jackal and the Dragon Clan."

"As for the fish body he had before, I suppose Yazi was injured, and all that remained was a wisp of his Dragon Clan true spirit, which fled into the little goldfish."

"Now, it should be because of the spiritual Qi in Senior's courtyard... Hm?"

"No, that's not right!"

As he spoke,

Zhao Gongming's gaze suddenly sharpened.

Yazi had changed shape, yet, surprisingly, he hadn't jumped out.

Instead, he lay in the cauldron, apparently sucking greedily at the water surrounding him!

Zhao Gongming was stunned.

His divine sense was keen to begin with.

The instant it fell upon the water,

Zhao Gongming suddenly sensed a surge of supremely pure spiritual Qi rushing toward him!

"Such pure spiritual Qi!"

"Perhaps the little goldfish was able to regain his original form not because of the spiritual Qi in Senior's courtyard."

"Rather, this water is no ordinary water!"

Zhao Gongming instinctively went over to the stone platform.

He touched some of the water.

The water rapidly rushed into his body.

In an instant, his primordial spirit became a little more solid.

Although it was only a slight change, it left Zhao Gongming utterly horrified!

"No wonder Yazi was able to recover his original body so quickly."

"So this water is extraordinary!?"

"Even Yazi is reluctant to part with the spiritual Qi in it."

Just as Zhao Gongming was muttering to himself,

Yunxiao's voice reached his ears.

"Senior Brother, now that Yazi has turned into this, how is Senior going to cook him?"

Hearing Yunxiao's words,

Zhao Gongming's gaze turned grave.

"I can't figure it out either."

"By rights, Senior should know Yazi's identity, yet he still intends to eat him."

"But by using this kind of spiritual Qi to nourish him, wouldn't he simply be helping Yazi heal?"

When Zhao Gongming finished speaking,

Qiongxiao said innocently from the side,

"Maybe Senior thinks the meat will taste better after it's marinated in spiritual water?"

Zhao Gongming: "..."

Bixiao: "..."

Yunxiao: "..."

They all felt that Qiongxiao's words sounded strange.

Yet they had no answer for her!

Could Senior really be thinking that?

Just as those thoughts crossed their minds,

an astonishing scene suddenly unfolded before them!
