Finally Opening the Treasure Chest

"Buzz~"

The spirit sword hummed, and a tangible sword light flowed across its blade, transforming into a refined pale blue Gang Qi.

As the sword's light flickered, her spiritual sense stirred and resonated with the sword, as if they were long-lost friends.

A clear, melodious sword cry rang out, like a clear spring striking jade or a crane's cry echoing through the heavens, penetrating her spiritual consciousness and resonating with her soul.

The soul, which had been injured by the self-destruction of its natal flying sword, was warmed by the faint sword hum. Wisps of sword energy, like a spring breeze caressing willows, gently soothed the wounds.

"What a fine sword!" Jiang Hanyan's eyes brightened slightly as she gently stroked the blade with her fingertips, as if caressing a lover's cheek.

The sword energy surged into the sword like a stream flowing into the sea, transforming and cleansing the sword meridians layer by layer, eventually condensing into pure-colored sword light. It then flowed back along the hilt, nourishing the damaged meridians.

Under the light of the sword, the frown between her brows quietly disappeared, a long-lost smile appeared on her lips, and her eyes reflected a warm, clear spring.

"Thank you..." she said softly, her voice barely audible.

Lin Xu looked at her relaxed expression and laughed heartily, "What are you thanking me for? When you first came with me, I promised to forge you a fine sword. This is just fulfilling that promise."

He paused, looking at her slightly haggard face. "Hanyan, with this sword, you will surely regain your sword spirit and embark on the path to immortality once more. The most important thing now is to use the Light-Containing Sword to nurture your sword essence and repair your damaged soul and meridians. Afterwards, I will have someone send you pills to help you regulate your breathing and strengthen your foundation so that you can recover as soon as possible."

"Hmm~" she responded softly, a strand of her black hair brushing against the blade in the wind. The sharp Sword Qi swept past, yet it did not cause her any damage.

Clearly, in a short period of time, the Light-Containing Sword had become one with Jiang Hanyan, and the Sword Qi energy flowed freely without harming her in the slightest.

Seeing the spark rekindled in her eyes, Lin Xu quietly breathed a sigh of relief.

Back in the main hall, Lin Xu sat cross-legged on a futon, examining the spoils of the dungeon battle.

He took out Fire Magic Book, Dragon Lizard egg, a golden treasure chest, and a miniature Dungeon Heart, and carefully examined them.

These three items are the biggest spoils of this dungeon battle. Compared to valuable resources like Spirit Gold, these are priceless treasures.

Especially the golden treasure chest. According to discussions on the Spirit Realm Forum, the highest grade of treasure chests that spawn in the wild is bronze. Silver treasure chests only drop when NPC forces are defeated, while golden treasure chests only exist in the imagination of adventurers.

Based on previous experience opening chests, the items inside this treasure chest must be directly related to the dungeon and the Giant Lord.

Reaching out to gently stroke the treasure chest, Lin Xu paused in his act of opening it. He took out a spirit lamp and used five taels of Incense Fire Heaven Silver to cast the "Spirit Lamp Wish-Making Technique."

Moved by a stirring in his soul, he made a wish. "To draw the most valuable item from the treasure chest!"

The flames suddenly surged, burning away all the Incense Fire Heaven Silver. A wisp of smoke rose and disappeared into the void in an instant.

He reached out and opened the golden treasure chest.

Inside the golden treasure chest was only a single, translucent drop of red blood, its surface shimmering with tiny crackles of electricity.

Item: Titan Essence Blood Rank: Gold Legendary Type: Bloodline Effect: A drop of Titan blood can awaken the Titan Bloodline, increasing Strength by 3, Constitution by 3, and overall resistance; [Body of Thunder] Lightning resistance +50%, lightning attribute cultivation efficiency and power +30% for both techniques and spells, and body tempering efficiency +50%.

Introduction: Originating from the primordial blood essence condensed when the Titan Race perished, Lin Xu stared at this drop of blood, recalling the giant city lord's imposing physique, and nodded knowingly. "So it's a descendant of the Titans... However, this drop of blood essence should be even purer than the bloodline within the giant city lord."

Titans are a race of gods in Western mythology, whose noble lineage is comparable to that of dragons.

The Titan Bloodline, born from myths and legends in the Spirit Realm, possesses talents and potential no less than those of true dragons. Most importantly, the bloodlines of giants and humans are highly compatible, resulting in a higher efficiency in absorption and transformation.

"It just means its size will increase..." He thought for a moment, then closed the treasure chest and set it aside for the time being.

Once the treasure chest is opened, the items inside are already secured.

Without hesitation, Lin Xu took out the Dragon Lizard egg, cut his fingertip, and a drop of blood fell onto the gray-black eggshell.

Blood slowly seeped into the eggshell, the throbbing suddenly intensified, and spiderweb-like cracks appeared on the gray-black surface. Accompanied by a faint cracking sound, a tiny head slowly broke through the eggshell, its scales glistening with a ghostly light.

Three tender heads emerged one after another, and six eyes opened, reflecting Lin Xu's joyful face in their pupils.

"Coo coo~"

The three little heads nuzzled against Lin Xu's palm, the warm touch carrying a strange intimacy.

The newborn dragon, including its tail, is already over two meters long, and its scales still retain the luster of its fetal membrane.

He gently stroked the three wet heads, his smile widening, "Good! More heads mean more wisdom. From now on, I'll call you 'Think Thrice,' meaning you should Think Thrice before acting, just like you two are of one mind!"

The young dragon let out a pleasant gurgling sound from its throat, its scales shimmering with a bronze luster in the light, and its tail tip unconsciously wrapped around his wrist.

After the newly hatched dragon finished gnawing on the broken eggshell, it rubbed against Lin Xu's hand, found a comfortable position to curl up in his arms, and fell into a deep sleep.

With each breath, the Spiritual Qi floating in the air was slowly absorbed, and mysterious runes appeared around the three heads as they rose and fell.

"Does it have an innate bloodline?" Lin Xu wondered, observing its unusual behavior while sleeping.

Dragons are magical creatures from the West, similar to the innate mythical beasts of the East, possessing innate talents and abilities that others envy.

The Glazed Spirit Lamp in his hand flickered slightly, and as the flame swayed, a ray of candlelight quietly entered the young dragon's brow. The three heads trembled simultaneously, but were not awakened.
