It turned out that just now, all his attention had been focused on the Demon-Eyed Water Lily, unaware that he had lost over a hundred black dragon corpses and unleashed terrifying vitality. The Demon-Eyed Water Lily grew slowly, but he didn't notice that the Jianmu Divine Tree was growing wildly.
Today, the Jianmu Divine Tree stands thousands of miles tall and thousands of zhang thick, with the patterns on its bark turning into scale-like patterns.
He cut off a branch as thick as a thumb, and found that even the bone knife, which could cut through iron like mud, couldn't cut it easily. The strength of a branch was no different from that of a treasure.
What surprised Long Chen the most was that every Jianmu Divine Tree had ninety-nine flower buds sprouted, meaning the tree had matured and was ready to bear fruit.
However, the Jianmu Divine Tree is said to bloom once every three thousand years and bear fruit every three thousand years. Its fruit only begins to ripen after three thousand years, and from flowering to edible fruit, it takes a full nine thousand years.
Therefore, the Jianmu Divine Fruit is extremely precious. Yunyang's senior sister obtained a Jianmu Divine Fruit and fused it with her wood power, awakening the first-generation bloodline the day after birth.
Of the four seeds in the core, she ate one, and kept the other three safely. When Long Chen asked for one, she reluctantly gave him one, showing just how precious this Jianmu Divine Fruit was.
Now that the Jianmu Divine Tree is blooming, Long Chen is delighted. As long as a steady stream of corpses flows into the chaotic space, harvesting the fruits is just around the corner. He even wants to return to the Evil Dragon Domain to clear out the evil dragons in Evil Dragon Valley.
If all the evil dragons in Dragon Valley were cleaned up, it should be enough for the Jianmu Divine Tree's fruit to ripen, and even the pod of the Demon-Eyed Water Lily could ripen.
Unfortunately, unlike other creatures, the Demon-Eyed Water Lily was transplanted out of its roots, but it could not continue to grow. To reproduce it on a large scale, it had to rely on lotus seeds.
However, there was no return to the Evil Dragon Domain for now. He had already been targeted by the Demon-Eyed Water Lily. As soon as he entered the Evil Dragon Domain, it would discover him.
Moreover, in the Evil Dragon Domain, Long Chen had a bad premonition, so he quickly escaped. Without advancing to the Divine Lord Realm, he no longer had the courage to face that terrifying creature.
However, from the terrifying power of the Demon-Eyed Water Lily, Long Chen thought of Liu Ruyan. Since the Undying Nether Willow was the emperor of the Undying Clan, his status surpassed that of the Demon-Eyed Water Lily. When Liu Ruyan returned to the clan, he wondered what kind of terrifying divine power she would awaken, or whether this cold, vengeful fellow would take revenge on him.
He had witnessed the terror of the Demon-Eyed Water Lily. Surviving this time was purely lucky; he couldn't be so reckless again.
The corpses were all used up, leaving Long Chen with just over a hundred dragon skins, dragon eyes, and crystal cores.
The Dragon Eye is the Eye of the Demon Dragon, and will later be used as an auxiliary medicine to refine the Purple Que Pill. Long Chen dried it beside Huo Ling'er, saving it for future use.
If crystal cores can be sold for money, they're definitely treasures. As for the dragon hide, Long Chen found it a bit frustrating.
The dragon skin wasn't intact; it was almost all pierced into sieves by the Demon-Eyed Water Lily, full of holes. If it hadn't been destroyed and made into leather armor, it would be difficult for treasures to leave marks on it, let alone cause damage.
With so many holes pierced, the value of this precious dragon skin was greatly reduced. But since it was absorbed into the black soil, Long Chen couldn't bear to part with it, so he could only keep it for now, waiting for Zheng Wenlong to handle it.
Withdrawing his divine sense from the chaotic space, Long Chen gently woke Bai Shishi, who was still meditating. Bai Shishi opened her beautiful eyes and looked at Long Chen, a smile appearing on her pretty face:
"What is it?" Got rich? Such a sinister smile. Long
Chen was not good at hiding his emotions; his joys and angers were all written on his face. With the Magic Eye Water Lily and the Jianmu Divine Tree blooming, he was in a great mood. Even Bai Shishi could see the joy in his heart. This guy was almost dancing gracefully, which made Bai Shishi chuckle a little. Many times, Long Chen seemed like a big boy.
"Am I sinister with a smile?" Sometimes you will also smile slyly. As
Long Chen spoke, he grabbed Bai Shishi's delicate hand. Bai Shishi's pretty face instantly flushed red, she looked a bit flustered, and she whispered scolding,
"Don't mess around, it's not good if someone sees you."
Bai Xiaole, Qin Feng, Qi Yu, and Xu Zixiong were all outside guarding the Dharma. If someone saw her, she would feel very embarrassed.
Being held by Long Chen's jade hand, Bai Shishi felt inexplicably nervous, but soon she relaxed because Long Chen placed a golden lotus seed in her hand.
There was still blood stained on the seed. The blood belonged to Long Chen. When Long Chen touched the seed, it felt as if billions of sharp spikes had pierced his finger, leaving it a bloody mess.
Within the chaotic space, the lotus seed behaved obediently, harmless to humans and animals, but once outside, it became like a fierce beast baring its fangs and claws, releasing terrifying golden power with astonishing destructive force.
Overwhelmed by the pain in his fingers, Long Chen quickly tossed the lotus seed into Bai Shishi's hand. Strangely, once it landed in Bai Shishi's hands, the seed instantly transformed from a fierce magical beast into a clever little white rabbit, showing such closeness to her.
"This... This is ..."
Feeling the surging golden power within the lotus seed, Bai Shishi almost jumped up, her jade hand covering her cherry lips, unable to believe her eyes.
This tiny lotus seed contained endless power, and it was the purest, without any impurities, ready to be directly absorbed.
"This is one of the five lotus seeds in the pod. This one is for you. If you absorb it, you will become the strongest king here.
Before, I may have not shown enough respect to you, Fairy. I have been a bit rude. Please be generous and look forward to your future care." After Long Chen finished speaking, he bowed solemnly.
Bai Shishi was both annoyed and amused. She shot Long Chen a look, holding the golden lotus seed in her hands, her eyes full of joy and excitement.
"The Golden Battle Sword was given to me by you, and this Golden Lotus Seed was also given to me by you. I ...," Bai Shishi said a little embarrassed.
"If it weren't for your help, how could I have gotten this lotus pod? Without your help, I wouldn't have survived.
We're all family, no need to be so formal! Long Chen said with a smile.
When she heard the words "one of us," a blush appeared on Bai Shishi's pretty face. To her, 'one of us' carried a different meaning.
Long Chen didn't notice Bai Shishi's emotional changes. He only thought that with this lotus seed and combined with the Four Poles Pill, Bai Shishi's cultivation would advance by leaps and bounds, her golden power would become even more powerful and powerful, and with the golden battle sword in hand, even he would retreat three steps away, making future outings much safer.
"Buzz!"
Suddenly, a muffled sound came from Long Chen's body, and his aura surged dramatically. All his strength—qi, blood, essence, soul, tendons, bones—all surged in an instant. Unconsciously, Long Chen had already advanced to the third level of the fourth level.
Even Bai Shishi was startled; Long Chen's improvement had come so suddenly.
"I see. If you want to quickly absorb the medicinal power, keep fighting fiercely, and unleash your potential, the faster you can absorb the medicinal power."
Long Chen's eyes lit up. When he entered the Evil Dragon Domain, he had just advanced to the second heaven. In just a few days, he had already broken into the third heaven. It must be related to the fierce battle with the Demon-Eyed Water Lily. Suddenly, he saw a new cultivation path—the Nine-Star Overlord Body Technique, which was indeed created for battle. This way, he could rapidly advance and avoid being left too far behind by others.
"Long Chen, shouldn't we return to the academy to report the situation next?" Bai Shishi asked.
"Are you kidding? Since you're out, if you don't make a name for yourself, how can you face going back?" Come on, I'll take you to wander the world. Long Chen laughed heartily,
