Baby dragons were a minority after all.
Most of the creatures born from dragon eggs might not completely inherit their parents' bloodline and become true dragons.
In a certain era, there was a force that bred female dragons with high bloodlines with male dragons to obtain baby dragons with high bloodlines.
That force had completely disappeared.
The method of mating a dragon is not feasible.
For one thing, the higher the bloodline of a dragon, the lower the chance of it giving birth.
For another, bloodline inheritance was not as simple as catching two powerful dragons to mate with and letting their offspring inherit their abilities.
Take the Thunder Dragon egg before them as an example.
The little creature that was about to be born might be an extremely ordinary wild flood dragon, not even a true dragon.
Of course …
If the little creature inherited the powerful bloodline of a Thunder Dragon, it would be a baby Thunder Dragon.
Then this dragon egg would be invaluable!
"Alright, everyone, get ready. Please come forward in an orderly manner to identify the eggs and then decide if you want to increase the price," said the Queen of Xiayu.
…
Zhu Minglang naturally followed Luo Shaoyan's lead.
Each dragon egg was displayed one by one, similar to an auction.
However, what was slightly different from an auction was that they would go through a total of five rounds of identification.
In the first round, you could only observe with your eyes, and you would be given very little time. At most, you could observe with your naked eyes for a minute.
In the second round, you would be given three minutes to test with your spiritual sense. You would be asked to sense the strength of the little creature in the egg, or to perceive other subtle patterns, the hardness of the shell, and the differences in the shell membrane.
In the later rounds, Dragon Master Mu would be allowed to identify, explore, and think more carefully …
However, in these identification rounds, you would have to pay a lot of money for each round, including the first round.
"Now, let's show the first dragon egg. This is a dragon egg from Lush Grass Mountain Castle. It was picked by a great master who happened to pass by. You all should know that some dragons like to eat beast eggs with high nutrition. This dragon egg was bought at the price of an ordinary beast egg, ten silver. After being appraised by many great masters, the possibility of it being a young dragon egg is very high. Moreover, it enjoys quite a bit of fame in the halls of White Sky Street. We can't tell its breed or bloodline … "said the Queen of Xiayu.
"The first round of identification will cost five thousand gold coins. Everyone, please."
After saying this, everyone in the palace was eager to give it a try.
"This 5,000 gold is on me." Luo Shaoyan smiled and paid the money without hesitation. He then entered the queue for identification and sorting.
Zhu Minglang was still observing.
He saw that there were already people coming forward one after another. Some of them were looking at it with a very gentlemanly attitude, while others couldn't wait to stick their eyes on the somewhat legendary folk dragon egg. Anyway, there were all kinds of people.
It was Zhu Minglang and Luo Shaoyan's turn.
They walked forward. Luo Shaoyan stood at the designated distance and stared at the folk dragon egg in the silver silk cradle. Even before the designated time was up, he turned his attention to the mature and charming Queen of Xiayu and chatted with her about things that had nothing to do with the dragon egg.
Since he wanted to learn the Art of Dragon Consciousness, Zhu Minglang naturally couldn't stare at the Human Queen's impressive figure like Luo Shaoyan.
Five thousand gold.
To be honest, it looked like a beast egg.
The shell was very thin, and the outer membrane was not smooth. It was about the size of a ladle. A greedy person would probably set up a fire by the stream, boil some water, and put it in.
"Time's up," a woman dressed as a maid reminded him in a low voice.
Zhu Minglang scratched his head.
Ah, five thousand gold coins …
In the Imperial Capital, going to the brothels to see the famous courtesans didn't seem to be as expensive as looking at an egg.
Eh, why did he know such a strange thing?
"Young Master, do you want to follow? The price for following is twenty thousand gold coins," the maid reminded Zhu Minglang, as if she could tell that it was Zhu Minglang's first time here.
"Follow!" Luo Shaoyan said with certainty.
Zhu Minglang was confused.
…
"Twenty-five thousand gold coins just like that? I didn't get anything." Zhu Minglang smiled bitterly. He suddenly realized that Luo Shaoyan was really rich. As expected of an ancient aristocratic family.
"It's normal. Some people play here for a whole night and throw in a million gold coins, only to bring back a colorful chicken. It's a pity to bring it back to stew …" Luo Shaoyan said.
"Tell me about the egg. Why do you want to follow? Anyway, I think it's very ordinary. The main thing is that we can't use our spiritual awareness to check it. We can't see anything just by looking at its appearance," Zhu Minglang asked.
"That's why, that's why you have to learn the Art of Looking at Eggs from the Art of Dragon Consciousness!"
"Art of Looking at Eggs …" Zhu Minglang felt that this title was extremely strange.
"There's also the Art of Touching Eggs. That's the third and fourth part."
"Alright, alright, alright. Tell me your point of view." Zhu Minglang felt that he couldn't continue this conversation.
Luo Shaoyan started to feel proud before he even said anything. He said to Zhu Minglang, "We divide the eggs into three types. Ordinary eggs, spirit eggs, and dragon eggs."
"Spirit eggs are the ones that affect people's minds the most. This is because these eggs are mostly laid by creatures with spirituality. They look special and can easily mislead people. Many people spend a lot of money on spirit eggs."
"Dragon eggs are eggs laid by true dragons. Although the chances of them being born as young dragons are much higher than spirit eggs, there's still a chance that they'll be demons. Unless they cultivate for ten thousand years and become a saint, they'll just be like that … "
"Let's look at an egg of unknown origin and determine which of the three types it is first. If it's an ordinary egg, it'll naturally be worthless. "
Zhu Minglang listened carefully. The Art of Dragon Consciousness was rarely taught in the Dragon Tamer Academy. After all, most of the people recruited by the Dragon Tamer Academy were already dragon masters or those who were about to become dragon masters.
There were also many people among the people who couldn't even reach the threshold of becoming a dragon master. They tried everything they could to get young spirits from all kinds of places and look for creatures that could turn into dragons. The Art of Dragon Consciousness was very widely spread among the people, but most of it was just a trick.
Mr. Koi also said that even the most amazing Art of Dragon Consciousness was a gamble. It was just to increase one's chances of winning. Therefore, it was very stupid to spend all one's savings on a young spirit or a spirit egg.
"This dragon egg is a little famous among the people. It's actually a very special spirit egg. Its shell looks thin, but it's absorbed a certain amount of Spiritual Qi. The patterns on the egg are messy and irregular. It's probably because the Spiritual Qi in the place it's in is unstable. Ordinary eggs won't absorb Spiritual Qi, "Luo Shaoyan continued.
"So you're sure it's an extraordinary egg?" Zhu Minglang asked.
Luo Shaoyan shook his head and said, "The taboo of Dragon Consciousness is to make conclusions. I just think it has spirituality and there's a possibility that it's an extraordinary spirit. "
"So we'll go to the next round and check if there's any Spiritual Qi inside it with our spiritual sense?" Zhu Minglang asked.
"Yes. If it's a spirit egg, we'll have to follow up. Anything is possible," Luo Shaoyan said.
