Dragon Pearl
Inside the water dungeon, a dragon king named Ao Guang shook his head, and his ten-foot-tall dragon head appeared.
The space inside the water prison was limited, so the opponent did not reveal his dragon form.
Even so, Zhang Xuezhou could still sense the truly terrifying power of the great demons.
The Dragon Kings may have limited fighting power on land, which is why their reputation is limited, but once they return to the sea, they become the overlords of the ocean.
If one ignores the terrifying Demon Power emanating from the Four Dragon Kings, they appear to be four jovial old men, but if one confronts them head-on, their massive demonic bodies unleash a suffocatingly powerful force.
"Ao Li, let us out!"
Ao Guang shook his enormous dragon head, making his half-human body look extremely comical beneath it.
But the immense Demon Power mixed with the rolling sound waves created a sound almost like an explosion, causing the stone walls of this water prison to shake back and forth.
"We've rescued that half-demon!"
"The Dragon Balls are effective, don't doubt that we gave you fakes!"
"We are innocent!"
Ao Guang shouted repeatedly, spitting everywhere. Zhang Xuezhou, who was below, felt the rolling waves crashing down on him, giving him a cold shower.
He wiped his face, feeling utterly miserable being trapped in this water prison.
At the same time, Zhang Xuezhou did not smell any stench from Ao Guang's saliva; in fact, the saliva seemed to have a faint, familiar fragrance.
"Saliva... saliva?"
Zhang Xuezhou thought of the saliva wine he had previously consumed, and felt a slight discomfort in his throat.
But he quickly recalled this vague sense of familiarity.
The saliva wine he had consumed more than ten days ago could not have given him such a vague feeling; this vague feeling originated from Anle Palace in Chang'an City.
Zhang Xuezhou remembered that the Empress Dowager's incense smelled like this, only much stronger than this saliva-like fragrance. Chunyu Tiying had mentioned that the incense was ambergris.
The fact that a powerful cultivator of the Empress Dowager's caliber could use ambergris to suppress Sha Qi clearly indicates that ambergris is of a very high grade as a medicine.
Zhang Xuezhou never imagined that the raw material for this medicine was actually dragon saliva.
At this moment, Ao Guang's saliva flew everywhere. The other three Dragon Kings were used to it and didn't feel anything, but Zhang Xuezhou, who was drenched head-on, felt quite a bit of pain.
He even noticed the heaviness in his head gradually subsiding.
At the same time, he felt his Demon Power rapidly increasing.
As a power system that he has never cultivated since he derived his Demon Power, Zhang Xuezhou truly doesn't care about Demon Power. He only developed it for a period of time in his early years when he practiced the Technique Within the Clouds.
His Demon Power is growing rapidly, rising like water being poured in, almost reaching the level of his Body Transformation Realm cultivation.
Zhang Xuezhou had never seen such a rapid increase in cultivation level.
If spiritual practice were so simple and easy, then everyone in the world could become a great spiritual practitioner.
"Stop spitting! You guys seem to have caused me health problems," Zhang Xuezhou shouted.
"Injustice..."
Ao Guanglong lowered his head, and saliva poured down like water.
He shook his head, and the dragon head, which almost occupied the entire water prison, quickly retracted.
"I'm used to spitting," Ao Guang said awkwardly, looking at Zhang Xuezhou who was soaking wet. "We aquatic creatures need to constantly inhale and exhale to breathe in the water, so we also have this habit of spitting. It's not our fault!"
"After our bodies shrink, it's less noticeable that we spit," Ao Qin nodded in agreement.
"By the way, did Ao Li hear us calling him?"
"I think he must have heard it, but he's still helping Ao Qing sober up, so he probably won't be able to come over anytime soon!"
"He's incredibly fertile! I heard he had nine sons born in the Year of the Dragon. He's unbelievably strong!"
"I used to be very fertile, but after a while, my body was completely drained. I could only endure being slapped!"
"That's too harmful to your health!"
"That's right!"
Perhaps life was too boring, the Dragon Kings were prone to digressing, and once they changed the subject, they would lose sight of what was important.
Once Ao Guang had pulled his head back and was certain that Ao Li could hear him, the dragon kings didn't even bother to call out anymore.
Ao Qin waved his hand, sweeping away all the splashes of water in the water prison, even cleaning Zhang Xuezhou's wet head completely.
This made Zhang Xuezhou feel like less water had entered his head, and he was able to lift his heavy head with difficulty.
"Everyone, it seems you're having a great time here!"
The Dragon Kings' notification was very timely. Half an hour later, Ao Li, whose human form was incredibly handsome, stepped through a wall and appeared in the water prison.
"I'm not happy at all," Ao Guang complained.
"Looks like I've wronged you," Ao Li sneered. "How about I cheer you up?"
"No way, I don't want to fight, and I can't beat you anyway. You'll just be the one having fun," Ao Guang waved his hands repeatedly, refusing, "Now you're the Great Dragon God, none of us are as good as you!"
"The half-demon has been revived, which proves that this dragon ball is not fake. You can continue to keep it safe," Ao Qin said. "Although our skills are not as good as yours, we certainly wouldn't tamper with it!"
"Alright then, you can go wherever you want, east, west, south, or north. You can even go to the South China Sea to continue your chat if you wish!"
Ao Li stretched out his hand, and a door appeared in the stone wall of the water prison.
He gestured for the Dragon Kings to leave.
This delighted the dragon kings, some of whom transformed into small dragons and flew away, while others strode out directly.
In a flash, the four dragon kings ran incredibly fast and disappeared into the water prison in a very short time.
"I thought I got a fake Dragon Ball!"
Ao Li reached out and beckoned, and the golden bead that Zhang Xuezhou had been holding in his mouth was now in his palm.
He exhaled towards the Dragon Ball, and then put it in his mouth as well.
"What's the origin of this dragon ball? Can it be used to cure diseases?" Zhang Xuezhou couldn't help but ask.
"The Dragon Pearl is a treasure of our dragon race, said to be the inner core left behind by the Dragon Ancestor," Ao Li shrugged and said, "Holding the Dragon Pearl in your mouth can boost your cultivation, and it can also help you recover from injuries."
"Amazing!"
Ao Li's explanation was very simple.
There are many such items that can be used to help ordinary people with their cultivation and healing, but they are still effective for a great cultivator like Ao Li, which makes them a top-tier treasure.
No wonder Ao Li said the Dragon Ball was the Dragon Clan's most precious treasure.
"My head feels dizzy and heavy right now. Have I overdone the treatment?" Zhang Xuezhou asked.
"My head feels dizzy and heavy?" Ao Li asked, reaching out to grab Zhang Xuezhou. After touching him for a moment, he said, "No wonder those four old geezers ran so fast; they hadn't fully recovered!"
"Do I have some serious illness?" Zhang Xuezhou asked anxiously.
"It shouldn't be anything serious," Ao Li waved his hand and said, "It's probably just that you drank too much and haven't sobered up yet!"
"I always feel like my head is filled with water, and I'm dizzy!"
"This is the consequence of drinking too much!"
Ao Li stared at Zhang Xuezhou, and as he shook his head, a mouthful of saliva gushed out like a spring.
"Are you feeling any better?" Ao Li asked after he finished vomiting.
"Much better!"
Zhang Xuezhou had given up hope that the dragons could solve the aftereffects of the alcohol; these dragons seemed to have no other methods besides spitting.
He wiped the drool from his face, feeling that only he could solve his own problem.
