Chapter 24 - Dragon Warrior

Long Chen arrived at the base of

the Desolate Mountains just as

night fell.

The Desolate Mountains was a

mountain range to the east of Baize

Town. It spanned tens of thousands

of li, and it was home to

innumerable venomous insects and

demonic beasts. It was a dangerous

place to be.

The Desolate Wasteland, which

Long Chen had accidentally entered

before, was deep within the

Unlike the Desolate Wasteland, a

forest cOvered every inch of the

Desolate Mountains, blocking out

the entire night sky with their

branches.

It was very silent as Long Chen

entered deep into the Desolate

Mountains looking for a quiet and

safe spot.

It was So remote that almost no

one visited. Even though there were

many natural caves there, most of

them were occupied by demonic or

regular beasts. Still, there were a

few empty ones.

Despite the darkness, Long Chen

found a cave tucked away in a

discreet location. He asked Ling Xi

to check and see if there were any

beasts. She found a few small

beasts that were around Category 2

Yellow-tier. Long Chen evicted the

beasts, cleaned up the area, and

used a boulder to block the

entrance of the cave.

"This is a very hidden spot. I can

guarantee that it's safe. Xiao Xi, you

can come out and refine the Dream

Lingzhi Mushroom."

Long Chen took out the purple

Dream Ling Zhi Mushroom, which

released a very unique fragrance.

Long Chen felt his nerves relax as

he smelled it.

"Herbs that nourish the Divine Soul

have the effect of calming one's

nerves. If you eat one, it can also

increase your perceptiveness. This

was why that person was taking it

around."

Ling Xi's voice was very faint.

Long Chen rummaged through Bai

Shidong's pouch and chuckled. "To

think that he was also carrying

around eighty spirit jades. What a

good day for me. Not only did I get

something for free, I even earned

Some money."

When she saw Long Chen's

despicable expression, Ling Xi

wanted to slap him but

unfortunately she couldn't do so.

The fragrance of the Dream Lingzhi

Mushroom slowly enveloped the

cave. Since they risked attracting a

demonic beast, she immediately

refined it.

Long Chen saw the Ling Xi Sword

slowly place itself onto the ground

as a blob of white mist emerged

and enveloped the Dream Lingzhi

Mushroom. There was a sizzling

SOund as the blob of white mist

slowly shrank and disappeared.

Ling Xi's voice grew mnuch clearer.

"Hey, bastard, do you want to see a

surprise?"

The way she called him "bastard"

affectionately made his body tingle.

He chuckled. "Of course. Who

doesn't like surprises?"

"You are too insincere. Hmph!"

"Alright, alright. No need to put on

an act. I want to see your surprise."

Ling Xi did not move. Just then, the

Ling Xi Sword grew smaller until it

turned back into a stud and pierced

itself on Long Chen's ear.

"Miss, is this the surprise you

mentioned?"

"Don't rush me ..."

He was startled by the voice in his

ear. A warm breath gently caressed

his cheek, and he turned around,

surprised.

There was a girl standing extremely

close to him, her nose practically

touching his!

A fragrance enveloped him but

instead of feeling charmed, he was

just surprised to see a person only

two centimeters tall touch his nose.

Despite her small size, Long Chen

could make out her exceedingly

beautiful face. If he could make her

grow larger, she would be a literal

goddess.

After hitting Long Chen's nose, Ling

Xi flew around in the vwhite mist like

a little fairy. "You bastard, your nose

hurt me!"

Long Chen stared at the miniature

goddess, speechless.

He was actually quite fascinated. He

wanted Ling Xi to grow to her

normal size and gain a physical

body ... What a sight it would be.

Since Long Chen had not spoken,

Ling Xi pouted and narrowed her

eyes as she angrily said, "Hey, say

something. Do I look good like this?"

Her cuteness made Long Chen feel

like his bones were going soft. He

had seen countless beauties,

especially the girls from the Yang

family. But Ling Xi's beauty was out

of this world. Her face, body, and

even her elegance was beyond

what he had seen before ...

He recovered and praised her

exaggeratedly. "Xiao Xi, you are the

most beautiful girl l've ever met.

You are on par with the goddess of

the heavens!"

Ling Xi blushed.

Even though she was only a spirit

now, her spirit still looked like her

physical appearance. That was why

to Long Chen, she was the same as

a real person even though she was

enveloped in the mist.

"Wait, can you maintain this form?"

Ling Xi nodded. "l just came up with

it. Whenever I present myself at my

regular size, my spiritual energy

dissipates a lot. But with this form,

I'm only using a thousandth of my

spiritual energy. It felt

uncomfortable talking without you

being able to see me. This was why

I came up with it."

Long Chen knew that girls hated

being ignored. It was natural for

Ling Xi to think this.

Ling Xi happily flew around Long

Chen like an angel, stopping after

quite some time. Her face was

gloomy. "The Dream Lingzhi

Mushroom only lasts me one to two

months

Seeing how sad she was, Long Chen

felt his heart ached and consoled

her. "silly girl. Why are you worried?

If I could already get you the Dream

Lingzhi Mushroom today, I will be

able to get you as many herbs as

you want when l'm much stronger."

"What are you talking about? Why

do you think such herbs are as

common as cabbage? These herbs

are useful even for stronger

cultivators, and they're very popular

even if you go to a larger town."

Ling Xi sat on his shoulders silently.

Long Chen eyes were filled with

confidence. "It's alright. No need to

get so depressed. You only had a

few days left to live but I managed

to solve it. Now we have around

two months! Once the Demon

Hunting Tournament is over, I will

travel around to find you the herbs.

You can get as many as you want!"

Ling Xi's eyes turned bright as she

looked at him in joy. "Really? Why

are you treating me so well?"

"Because we are best friends." Long

Chen said matter-of-factly.

Ling Xi was extremely satisfied with

his response, and she flew around

happily. Long Chen was in a good

mood too. Just as they were

enjoying the pleasant atmosphere,

Long Chen recalled the Dragon Seal.

"Xiao Xi, do you know what a

Dragon Warrior is?"

Ling Xi stopped as her large eyes

twinkled. "Huh? How did you know

about the legends?"

Long Chen was feeling excited.

Ling Xi indeed came from a

powerful faction. She knew

everything that no one knew in

Baiyang Town.

"Don't worry about that. Just tell

me what you know."

"TO knoW what a Dragon Warrior is,

you need to be able to distinguish

Beast Warriors from Armament

Warriors. Do you know about them?

I somewhat recall that Dragon

Warriors are technically a branch of

the Beast Warriors but they're also

different."

"I knoW about the Beast Warriors."

Long Chen recalled the things he

had read in a book. "According to

legend, once a cultivator completes

the Body Quenching Stage and

enters the Draconic Realm, they can

use a secret technigue to consume

the soul of a demonic beast and use

it as a Primary Beast Soul. This

transforms their Qi into Beast Soul

Qi, which is more aggressive and

powerful. It even retains the original

techniques of the Primary Beast

Soul.

"A Beast Warrior can even consume

a demonic core to cultivate or even

transform into a beast. They can

improve much faster than a regular

cultivator. The strength and talent

of the Beast Warrior affects the

power of the beast soul they

consume. Unfortunately, they can't

cultivate as many martial arts

technigques, and a weaker Beast

Warrior might explode from trying

to consume a more powerful beast

Soul."

Ling Xi nodded. "Yep. Sounds about

right."

She paused in front of him as she

cocked her head and tried to recall

something.

"You must know that we humans

are the descendants of the

Primordial Dragons, who are now

nothing but legends. My dad told

me that there are no more dragons

in this world. The Dragon Warriors

were a group of people close to the

Primordial Dragons. Their cultivation

method was similar to that of Beast

Warriors, but instead of beast souls,

they needed the true Inherited

Blood Essence from the Primordial

Dragon!"

When she mentioned the Inherited

Blood Essence, Long Chen felt the

mysterious Dragon Jade Pendant

tremble. Long Chen's heart was

trembling too. "Does it mean that

once you obtained the Inherited

Blood Essence, you can beCome a

Dragon Warrior?"

Ling Xi rolled her eyes. "How would I

know? It is nothing but a legend. If

everyone were at the same

cultivation stage, a regular

Armament Warrior would be

stronger than a Beast Warrior, while

a Beast Warrior Would be stronger

than a regular cultivator. However, a

Dragon Warrior is much stronger

than an Armament Warrior since

they have awakened the bloodline

of the Primordial Dragons. According

to legend, they can use the same

techniques of the Primordial

Dragons and easily destroy the

world. But this is all just a legend,

so I don't know how powerful they

truly are."

Even though Ling Xi didn't know

much, Long Chen understood that

the Dragon Warriors defied all logic.

Long Chen also realized that since

Long Qinglan wanted him to

become a Dragon Warrior, he must

know more than Ling Xi. This meant

that his status was above Ling Xi's!

Ling Xi had said that the Dragon

Warriors were a legend while Long

Qinglan asked him to become a

Dragon Warrior. This was an

important distinction.

Father, who are you? Ling Xi's

background must be very special

since she knows a lot, but to think

that you knew even more! What's

the connection between the

mysterious Dragon Jade Pendant,

the Yang family's Dragon Seal, and

the Inherited Blood Essence of the

dragons?

Ling Xi stared at Long Chen

curiously. She didn't know what he

was thinking.

Long Qinglan's words were

shrouded in thick mystery. Long

Chen had no idea what his father

was thinking. He remembered that

Ling Xi could decipher the seal on

the Dragon Seal so he took it out

and placed it on the ground. "Xiao

Xi, go ahead and see if you can

unlock the seal."

Ling Xi was excited and said

haughtily, "Brat, you don't know that

even though l'm lazy with my

cultivation, I'm an expert in

deciphering seals. The more

complicated it is, the more excited I

get. Leave it to me, I assure you

that I can unlock it!"

When he saw how motivated the

little goose was, Long Chen teased

her. You don't have to boast to me.

If you do manage to unlock it, I will

give yOu a reward."

Ling Xi blushed and scoffed. She

landed on the Dragon Seal and

scrutinized it, deep in thought as

her small brows furrowed. Long

Chen thought that she looked cute.

Chen thought that she looked cute.
