Each Dragon Seeking Grass was a treasure that couldn't be bought outside. It could only be bought at a high price in an auction, and it wasn't even available in low-grade auctions.
Jiang Li was proficient in the Cultivation World's Sword Making Technique, and he knew how precious the Dragon Seeking Grass was. The dragon breath integrated into one's life potential could speed up the process of sword practice.
Especially after taking the Dragon Seeking Grass, there would be a dragon aura in one's mind power, and the nature of one's brain cells would change drastically.
Hum …
Just as Jiang Li was getting closer, he suddenly felt a vast consciousness sweeping in all directions.
It turned out that the black snake had swallowed the Imperial Elephant, and its consciousness swept in all directions to see if there were any enemies hiding nearby. Everything would be discovered by his consciousness, and nothing could get close to it. With a sweep of his consciousness, it actually covered a distance of a hundred miles.
Luckily, Jiang Li's aura had completely merged with the water, and the Great Emperor's Watermark covered all his traces. Otherwise, he would have been exposed.
Even so, he was covered in cold sweat. "This black snake's mind power is so strong? If it was someone else, they would have been discovered instantly, and it would be hard for them to escape! "
Even people with vitality of 7 or 9 couldn't fight against a group of black giant pythons in the water.
The black snake swept for a while, and when it found there was no danger, it curled up into a ball and began to sleep. After devouring a huge Emperor Elephant, it also felt very full. It felt sleepy and entered the deepest level of sleep.
"Good chance …"
Jiang Li started to approach the black snake while it was sleeping.
He meditated on the Great Emperor's Watermark, and the dense water intent seeped into the black snake's mind, making it sleep even more deeply.
"Great, I'm about to become one with the water!" He was happy. The Great Emperor's Watermark was almost invincible in the water, especially after absorbing the water element spirit stones. His body could even change into the color of water like a chameleon, and he wouldn't be discovered.
Jiang Li stealthily approached the Black Serpent's lair. There were no other creatures here, only a black python that was as large as a mountain. Its scales were like iron, and its aura was blazing. Jiang Li even suspected that a flying sword made of ordinary materials might not be able to cut through it.
Of course, his flying sword was extraordinary and could definitely deal damage to this black snake. However, he must not alarm it, because there were more black snakes in the depths of the Black Dragon Swamp. If he killed one, another group would come out. If the Black Snake King appeared, he would be dead for sure.
Therefore, Jiang Li could only use hypnosis.
Fortunately, the right time, the right place, and the right people were on his side.
In the water, the black python was invincible, but Jiang Li was even more invincible.
As he approached the mountain-like black python, Jiang Li's only target was the Dragon Seeking Grass. He walked to the front of the jade-like grass and carefully observed it. After confirming that the black python would not wake up anytime soon, he carefully used his flying sword to dodge it.
Huala!
The Dragon-Seeking Grass was uprooted.
Dense Spirit Qi began to spread.
Jiang Li hurriedly hugged it and used the Great Emperor's Waterseal to confine the Spirit Qi. Then, the flying sword flashed again, and the Dragon-Seeking Grass turned into juice in the water, which was absorbed into his body.
After three Dragon-Seeking Grass were absorbed into his body, Jiang Li did not even have time to digest them before he dashed out.
He knew that he could not be greedy. Three Dragon-Seeking Grass was enough. This was because the grass was connected to the Spirit Qi at the bottom of the water. Losing one would cause Spirit Qi fluctuations, and if a large group of black snakes were alarmed, he would die a horrible death.
He was very fast and soon reached the surface of the water. With a light tap, he used the airflow to glide into the distance like a huge bird. In less than an hour, he reached the shore and left.
After he left, the entire lake suddenly surged with wind and clouds. A dragon roared, and the weather changed. There was even thunder in the sky, as if an extremely powerful expert had caused a change in the weather.
Jiang Li hid quietly, not daring to move.
In a short while, he saw many huge black snakes emerging from the center of the lake, hissing at each other. One of the black snakes was more than a hundred meters long, and it was swallowing clouds and spitting out fog like a king.
A black gas appeared above the head of the Black Snake King, and the black gas condensed into a man in a black robe. This man was more than two meters tall, and his long robe fluttered in the wind. He was like an evil king, giving off an extremely cold aura.
"Embryonic Breathing realm …" Jiang Li was shocked. "This Black Snake King is actually in the Embryonic Breathing realm, and it has even condensed its own Sacred Fetus! Logically, animals only have abilities, and there should be very few who know how to practice, right? Could this really be an ancient cave abode? That was close. I am not a match for a big demon in the Embryonic Breathing realm. No wonder the Dragon-Seeking Grass is so precious. "
"We actually lost three Dragon-Seeking Grass! Who did it? Who dares to come to my Black Dragon Pond to steal the Dragon-Seeking Grass? You are looking for death, do you know that? "The man in the black robe emitted a strong divine thought, and it spread out in all directions.
Jiang Li lay low and didn't dare to move. Even if he was on the shore, it wasn't safe. He could only wait for this storm to pass.
Splash, splash …
Endless heavy rain fell from the sky.
Dark clouds covered the sky, and heavy rain poured down.
"A good chance." Jiang Li took advantage of the heavy rain and unleashed the Great Emperor's Seal to leave this place quickly. Although there was a lot of wealth in the Black Dragon Pond, he didn't want to stay any longer. After witnessing the prowess of the Black Snake King, he knew that he wouldn't be able to get the Dragon-Seeking Grass anymore.
Moving stealthily and far away, Jiang Li found a very secluded cave. He immediately started to circulate the blood in his body, and unleashed the Great Emperor's Fire Seal to refine the medicinal power of the Dragon-Seeking Grass.
In an instant, a wave of heat flowed through his body, sweeping in all directions. Suddenly, a wave of energy emanated from his body, and the outer shell of his body was covered with densely packed scales.
It was actually dragon scales.
Once these scales were formed, they would be impervious to swords, spears, water, and fire.
"Indeed, the human's research on the Dragon-Seeking Grass is similar to the research in the cultivation world. The cultivation world said that the Dragon-Seeking Grass contains dragon breath, but the human's research says that it contains a special energy. Good, good, good! I will refine these five flying swords completely and turn them into the scale patterns on my body! "
Roar!
Jiang Li let out a loud roar, and blood seeped out. The five flying swords flew out and stabbed into his body. The first flying sword stabbed into the Baihui acupoint on the top of his head.
The second was actually stabbed into his heart, the third was stabbed into his back, and the remaining two were stabbed into his palms.
The blood that contained the special energy of the 'dragon breath' constantly seeped into the flying swords, and the five flying swords gradually started to retract their brilliance, turning plain and unadorned. Furthermore, they twisted more and more spiritually, as though they were about to turn into small dragons.
After an unknown period of time, the five flying swords moved and actually started to melt. They slowly seeped into Jiang Li's flesh, and then turned into five sword scars that fused with his skin.
This was a sign that they were beginning to fuse with his flesh.
However, they had yet to completely fuse with his body. In order to do so, Jiang Li needed more Dragon-Seeking Grass.
"What a pity." Jiang Li stood up and looked at his palms. He realized that there were two scars that resembled spirit snakes. He knew that these were the traces of the flying swords residing in his flesh, but he was still far from truly becoming one with the sword.
If he could truly become one with the sword, it would be like a flying sword leaping into the air. His body structure would be metal, and he would be able to tear through the air. Legend had it that when one became a sword immortal, their body could even become an energy body that could transform into a sword beam that could pierce through a pinhole.
"The Flying Sword Refinement Art is indeed impressive! Even if I don't become one with the sword and reside in my flesh, my body can still make use of the flying swords' energy! It's equivalent to having five additional power furnaces! "
Jiang Li suddenly leaped up.
Swoosh!
His body actually tore through the air and rose to a height of 100 meters. Then, he made a turn at will and suddenly landed. He spun towards the tree, and the tree's leaves fell one after another.
Every flying sword was equivalent to an energy storage furnace, or even a nuclear reactor.
Think about it. Even Meng Xingyun's ordinary flying sword wasn't something that he could refine himself. It required a long period of painstaking effort mixed with spirit stones. Once he refined it, it would take tens or even hundreds of years before he finally succeeded. And this was just the most ordinary one.
From a "sword" to a "flying sword," it was equivalent to a carp transforming into a dragon. This step definitely couldn't be measured with money. Therefore, a flying sword was more expensive than a battleship.
Jiang Li's five flying swords were now residing in his flesh. He activated the flying swords slightly, and even his body could fly. It was completely different from controlling the air currents in the past, and the speed was much faster.
If he had more Dragon-Seeking Grass, he could attempt becoming one with the sword.
By then, even with a vitality of 5, he could defeat an expert with vitality of 7, or even 8.
"Dragon-Seeking Grass, oh Dragon-Seeking Grass. I'll come back to pick it sooner or later! Let's go back first. The results of this cultivation aren't too bad. "Jiang Li didn't want to be entangled here for too long. It was better to be careful and go back first.
However, he still didn't earn a single cent.
The Five-Coloured Exquisite Flower, the water attribute spirit stone, and the Dragon-Seeking Grass were all priceless treasures, but he ate them all.
He left the Black Dragon Pond and opened his photon computer to search for resources to make money. Dahei needed money, so he had to earn more to ensure the operation of its laboratory.
Jiang Li trained in the wilderness, completely unaware that while he was searching for resources, some people were talking about him and Hong Heiyu.
The real base of Star Sky University was simply a huge city, incomparably prosperous. Within a radius of thousands of miles, there were skyscrapers and modern facilities. Suspended energy tracks were set up in the air. High up in the sky, there was a huge energy shield that covered the entire base, penetrating deep into the ground.
Such a huge energy shield was enough to defend against all kinds of natural disasters and earthquakes.
It could also defend against the invasion of experts.
Even an expert like Chen Tianshu might not be able to take advantage of such a huge energy reactor in a human base.
The usage of this energy was similar to the array formations in the cultivation world.
In a huge room, transparent on all sides, one could see into the distance. A person in a well-ironed military uniform was drinking tea. This person was actually Gui Junzi.
Jiang Hailong and Song Shuren were also drinking tea with him.
Apart from them, Meng Xingyun was standing to the side.
The fragrance of the tea drifted in the air, intoxicating people's hearts. The room was filled with this aroma, almost enough to make people feel like they were walking on clouds. Meng Xingyun didn't drink the tea, but smelling the fragrance, he felt the blood flow in his body begin to circulate. The flying sword in his hand began to stir, letting out a long cry.
"Hong Heiyu was appointed vice-principal by the higher-ups. Your plans have all failed. Gui Junzi, you've been plotting for twenty years, how do you feel?" Jiang Hailong's tone was sarcastic. At the mention of Hong Heiyu, his expression revealed a venomous hatred.
Gui Junzi didn't answer Jiang Hailong. Instead, he gave his disciple pointers. He said to Meng Xingyun in a gentle tone, "Xingyun, this is' Nine Immortal Tea '. Every tea leaf can only be obtained through auction. Come and have a sip, it'll be beneficial for refining your flying sword. What you need now is to spend large amounts of spirit stones and fresh blood to refine this flying sword to ten times its original size. Condense the energy, then gradually attach it to your flesh and blood, and finally become one with the sword. This step, I estimate, will take you at least twenty years. "
