Xiang Li's Astonishing Luck

"Swish, swish, swish."

Lu Changzhi walked forward with him.

Centered on it, the soil on both sides compressed outwards to make room.

As Saint King Realm, his ability to utilize the power of heaven and earth is far greater than before. In addition, with the Five Elements Sacred Physique, he already has a certain affinity for earth.

There's absolutely no need to do anything intentionally.

Looking at the scene before him, Gu Chen couldn't help but sigh.

If he could do that, he wouldn't have had to dig for half a day.

He put away his shovel and followed Lu Changzhi forward.

As he walked, Lu Changzhi secretly clicked his tongue in amazement.

"This dragon is truly enormous; the Black Dragon is not even in the same league as it."

Judging from the skeleton before him, Lu Changzhi estimated that one of the dragon's eggs was probably the size of more than half the head of the previous Black Dragon.

Although it is not stretched out in a straight line, even when curled up, the area it occupies is still quite astonishing.

However, it didn't take long before Lu Changzhi pinpointed the location of the dragon's head.

After walking around for a while.

The two arrived at the location of the dragon's head.

However, it didn't feel particularly breathtaking.

The dragon's skull is enormous, and now it is completely buried underground, making it impossible to see its entirety at a glance.

"Master, this giant dragon must have been buried here for a very long time, right?"

Gu Chen asked.

Lu Changzhi nodded:

"It's been a very long time."

As far as he could think of, dragons, among the Dragon Race, are most adept at using their physical bodies to win. They have thick skin and flesh, and adult dragons are extremely powerful, with their physical bodies reaching a peak.

Even in death, a dragon's body will not easily decay.

But of the dragon before us, only its skeleton remains.

There was absolutely no trace of flesh or blood.

Considering the depth of the burial, the close fit between the soil and the flesh, and the collapse of the ground above, this is all indicative of the situation.

The dragon skeleton existed for an extremely long time.

This, in fact, perfectly matches the conditions for the formation of Giant Dragon Marrow Crystal.

As he pondered this, Lu Changzhi arrived at the top of the dragon's skull.

The bone plates are wide open, resembling a vast, flat area.

With a wave of his hand, the surrounding light suddenly became incredibly bright.

Lu Changzhi's gaze fell on one spot.

That place is between the dragon's eyes.

It roughly corresponds to the area between the eyebrows in humans, and is also a relatively vulnerable spot.

At this moment, there was a clearly visible crack in what should have been a sealed area.

The crack wasn't large compared to the massive dragon skull, but Lu Changzhi could tell it was enough to be a fatal wound.

Behind that is the dragon's brain.

The crack is smooth, indicating it was made by a sharp weapon.

Light shone into the crack, illuminating the space within.

Everywhere else was filled with soil, but this place remained empty, with only the bottom layer seemingly covered by a layer of soil.

Seeing this, Lu Changzhi couldn't help but shake his head.

"It seems that the one who slew the dragon didn't take the brain."

Every part of a dragon is valuable, especially a proper Dragon Race like this.

The brain is no exception.

Although it is large in size, it can still be divided into individual portions of roasted pig brain.

However, Lu Changzhi did not continue to think about it.

It seems the other party doesn't lack it.

Otherwise, I wouldn't have had the chance to see this giant dragon skeleton.

On the other side, Gu Chen also observed for a while and asked:

"Master, was this dragon killed?"

Lu Changzhi nodded.

Gu Chen's face showed a hint of shock:

"To be able to slay a dragon, one must possess immense strength."

Lu Changzhi smiled without saying a word. After a moment, seeing Gu Chen's surprise, he offered him the pancake.

"Practice diligently, and one day you will be able to do it too."

Gu Chen nodded upon hearing this:

"Rest assured, Master, I will do my best!"

"Okay." Lu Changzhi nodded.

"Let's go, let's look around somewhere else."

If there's nothing left on this side of the head, then it might really just be the Marrow Crystal.

As Lu Changzhi walked past the skull toward the spine, he noticed that the dragon horns on the skull had also been neatly cut off.

"It seems the other party had ulterior motives, which is why they left these things behind."

Lu Changzhi understood.

Not just these horns, but after traveling so far, we haven't seen a single dragon scale.

He even speculated that the dragon might have been stripped of its skin and taken away.

Finding Marrow Crystal is much easier.

After all, they had system guidance on their end.

Following the directions, Lu Changzhi led Gu Chen to the middle section of the dragon's spine.

After clearing away the surrounding soil, only a few irregular white-pink crystals remained in the middle of the spine. These crystals were not large compared to the dragon bone, but each piece was no smaller than a human head.

Gu Chen glanced at it using the system, his eyes widened in shock, and he tentatively asked:

"Master, are all these things very precious?"

"They are indeed valuable, but it depends on the specific circumstances."

Lu Changzhi replied.

The dragon's Marrow Crystal, to put it simply, is the spinal cord of Dragon Race that, after its death, gradually condenses into an energy body over a long period of time.

Generally speaking, there is no difficulty in its formation.

However, Dragon Race generally do not allow the spinal cord of a dead dragon to remain in its body. Instead, they use their Dragon Race methods to ensure that the spinal cord of a dragon that has not been dead for long continues to function, thereby increasing the strength of other dragons of the same race.

While Marrow Crystal are also good, they are still much inferior to fresh ones, with effects reduced by half or even more.

Of course, if one is strong enough to surpass some Dragon Race, it's only a matter of time and not too difficult if one wants to.

However, this situation is still rare. After all, if you have the capability and the need, using fresh materials directly will yield better results, and using Marrow Crystal would be a waste.

Therefore, Marrow Crystal are actually not very common, and are even extremely rare.

After all, the dragon has already been killed, its scales stripped off, and its tendons nowhere to be found, so extracting its spinal cord wouldn't be a difficult task.

But it just wasn't taken.

If everything else is still there, then the presence of Marrow Crystal is not surprising.

However, the current situation made Lu Changzhi sigh with emotion, realizing that Xiang Li's treatment truly reflected his being valued by Heaven and Earth.

This isn't something that can be achieved simply through luck.

"Marrow Crystal are extremely beneficial to the physical body. If you refine them, your physical strength should see a significant improvement."

Lu Changzhi waved his arm, releasing a surge of power to remove the Marrow Crystal from within Gu Chen's spine.

When the marrow guard left, the opportunity related to the Giant Dragon Marrow Crystal disappeared from Xiang Li's list of opportunities in the system.

Xiang Clan.

Inside the house.

Xiang Li, who was cultivating, suddenly opened his eyes and frowned.

For some reason, a strange feeling, one I'd never experienced before, suddenly appeared in my heart.

In the darkness, something seemed to be changing, disappearing, and dissipating, yet it was impossible to discern clearly. Upon closer inspection, however, there was no substantial change; all was well.
