Chapter 445: First hearing about snake dragon (please subscribe, please collect)
"Auntie, how are you doing these days? Have some tribal monks come to provoke you? Do you need your grandson to teach you a lesson?"
At the top of Lingtao Mountain, when Sun Mingsheng's figure appeared again, he saluted respectfully to the old man in front of him, without any hint of unruliness or disrespect due to his improvement in cultivation.
"Sure enough, there has been a change after the wedding. After not seeing each other for several years, I was promoted to the eighth level of foundation construction. I have a very solid aura of strength and will be the pillar of the family's future."
"As for everything being stable here in Lingtao Mountain, with me in charge, you can rest assured that you will have at least twenty years left."
After feeling Sun Mingsheng's new cultivation aura, Sun Shengmei smiled and nodded repeatedly to express her satisfaction.
"If my great-grandfather and great-aunt had not worked hard to protect the family, how could my grandson be as successful as he is now?"
The kindness of a drop of water should be repaid by a spring of water. The kindness of the family cannot be truly repaid no matter what. The same is true for the elders of the family.
"Every generation has its own mission. Our mission is to ensure the stable inheritance of the family, and you are to ensure the development and growth of the family."
The gratitude of the younger monks is naturally a comfort to Sun Shengmei and other older monks who have spent almost their entire lives fighting for their families.
"My grandson, I came to the Hundred Thousand Mountains this time in the hope of continuing to explore deeper. I wonder if my aunt can give me some advice?"
Compared with Sun Shengmei, who has been stationed here all year round, his understanding of Shiwandashan is obviously far insufficient, so he decisively asked for advice.
"The outside world has heard that the Hundred Thousand Mountains are barren, but who knows that there is life in this barrenness. If we simply compare the growth of some high-level spiritual creatures, it is impossible to say that this place will be better."
"The records recorded in these jade slips are all anecdotes and strange things that the family has collected from transactions over the years, as well as some seemingly reliable information. However, you need to identify the authenticity one by one by yourself."
She had already been mentally prepared for Sun Mingsheng's needs, and immediately handed over all the replica jade slips in a simple handover.
"Thank you, great aunt. If there is no mission that requires my grandson to serve, I will prepare to leave Lingtao Mountain tomorrow."
Since the goal has been achieved, Sun Mingsheng will naturally not delay here too much and is ready to leave as soon as possible.
"According to the news from the tribal alliance, there are some snakes and dragons in a mountain lake about ten thousand miles away from here. If you are interested, you can go there."
Sun Shengmei suddenly patted her head, as if she had just woken up from a dream, and had just informed her of the news.
"Snake dragon? This is a monster with dragon bloodline. Its whole body is full of treasures. And in the places where they appear, there must be some special spiritual objects like dragon blood stone, dragon blood spirit grass and so on."
Upon hearing this, Sun Mingsheng's eyes burst out with a greedy light, and his hands even subconsciously pinched together and rubbed each other.
The snake dragon is a rather special and rare monster with a certain level of dragon bloodline, and it only begins to awaken after its own cultivation reaches the second level.
Dragon nature is inherently lustful, and dragons are naturally inevitable, often leaving a large number of blood descendants in the world of cultivation.
Snake dragons are the descendants of dragons and snake-like monsters. They lived in the form of snake-like monsters at the first level, and they did not have any characteristics of dragons themselves.
Only after being promoted to the second level, under the stimulation of a strong mana, will it begin to appear little by little. After being promoted to the second level of high-grade, you will have some more obvious features such as dragon's claws and scales.
And in the future, with the advancement of cultivation, the snake dragon itself will also have the possibility to continue to improve the purity of its bloodline and continue to transform.
"There is no clear knowledge about whether the existence of snake dragons is true or false. It is just a rumor. With your cultivation level, as long as you are careful, there is no danger in exploring."
"If you find traces of snake dragons and hunt them down, the life essence and blood of the snake dragons can provide a helping hand when condensing the golden elixir in the future. On the other hand, if there are no snake dragons, it will not have any other impact on your subsequent itinerary."
Sun Shengmei just explained briefly and stopped talking too much. The final decision still needed to be made by Sun Mingsheng.
In the early morning of the third day, as the sun rose, Sun Mingsheng's figure also turned into a stream of light and disappeared into the distance. It was in the general direction of the mountain lake where snakes were rumored to be infested.
"If it weren't for the limited strength of the family and its inability to provide double spiritual objects to help condense the golden elixir, how could I be willing to put you in danger and go to the snake dragon's lair to find an opportunity to condense the golden elixir?"
Looking at the direction in which Sun Mingsheng was leaving, Sun Shengmei also had a fleeting look of shame on her face.
The natal essence and blood of the snake dragon is applied to the body at the critical moment when the monk is condensing the golden elixir. It can improve the quality of the meridians, resist the erosion of mana, and slightly increase the success rate of the elixir condensation.
However, the effects typically vary from person to person, but for Sun Mingsheng, any possibility and success rate must not be missed.
"According to my aunt's instructions, this should be in the mountain lake area where snakes and dragons once roamed."
Two days later, Sun Mingsheng's figure had appeared not far away between the two mountains. A lake as quiet as amber was sparkling. As the sun set, a strange beauty filled his eyes.
The snake dragon is only a being with the lowest bloodline among all the dragons, but it is also a genuine dragon, and its combat power is also outstanding.
And although the snake dragon is a dragon, it still has the habits of snake-like monsters, and it also has a certain possibility of living in groups.
For Sun Mingsheng, if a second-level high-grade snake dragon appears in a fierce battle, it is still possible to win. If two snake dragons appear, he can only choose to escape. If there are more than three, a small life is likely to be lost here.
The natal essence and blood of the snake dragon certainly has a certain auxiliary effect in condensing the golden elixir, ensuring that one's own life safety is always the first priority.
He didn't want to rush into a swarm of snakes and lose his life in vain, so he naturally wanted to learn as much as possible before doing so. As the saying goes, if you know yourself and the enemy, you will never be in danger.
"Hiss, hiss"
A slight snake-like sound came from the calm lake, and a triangular snake head about the size of three heads suddenly emerged from the water.
The long inverted triangular tongue is constantly exploring the air, analyzing the strange smell that may exist around him.
"How come these snake dragons have such a keen sense of smell?"
Sun Mingsheng's face suddenly showed a look of surprise. At the same time, regardless of the boulder hidden in front of him, he immediately retreated, trying to distance himself from the snake dragon.
He had never really gotten to know these guys, and they were quite unfamiliar with each other, but the vigilance in his heart always reminded him not to underestimate these snake dragons in the slightest.
