Chapter 68: A Drop of Blood
Call for recommendations and collections support, urgently need everyone's support...
After a dozen or so half-blooded dragonkin had vented their excitement, the Dragon King finally waved his hand to stop them all. Looking at the Long Xun wrapped around Kong Fang's neck, the Dragon King's smile was tinged with a hint of helplessness and bitter laughter. As a dragonkin with powerful divine beast bloodline, he was actually closer to a human than to one of his own kind.
The Dragon King withdrew his gaze from Long Xun and said to Kong Fang, "Young friend, you have saved the hope of our clan's future this time. Your kindness is immeasurable, and no matter what we do, it will not be enough to repay this kindness."
Kong Fang was somewhat embarrassed by what the Dragon King said, and he waved his hand, saying: "Dragon King, please don't say that. I didn't know at the time that Long Xun had returned to his ancestral bloodline and become a divine beast. I just did what any Qi Zong disciple would have done in that situation. If it were another Qi Zong disciple who encountered the same situation, they would definitely also have helped Long Xun."
"It's precisely because you didn't know Long Xun was a divine beast at the time, yet still dared to risk rescuing him, that makes it even more precious and admirable." The Dragon King looked at Kong Fang with a rather satisfied gaze, "Qizong is indeed fortunate to have an outstanding disciple like you, I'm truly blessed."
When he heard the name 'Gu Han', Kong Fang was taken aback. Although Kong Fang did not know what the master of the Instrument Sect was called, being called out by the Dragon King at this time meant that this person had a very high probability of being the one who founded the Instrument Sect 20,000 years ago, and was now the sect master of the Instrument Sect.
"Our little friend has done a great favor to our clan, and it's only natural for my half-blood dragon clan to repay the kindness." The Dragon King paused slightly here, thinking about how to thank Kong Fang.
The half-blood dragon in the lake also looked at them curiously, wondering what their king would use as a reward.
Although Kong Fang had received many benefits from the Secret Mansion Master, he couldn't help but feel a little excited at this moment. After all, the Secret Mansion Master was already dead and only existed as a remnant soul, unable to give him too much. Moreover, Kong Fang had only passed the first part of the test set by the Secret Mansion Master, so the benefits he received were limited. Only by passing the second part of the test could Kong Fang obtain more.
But the Dragon King was different, he was not only a powerful divine beast, but also the true ruler of the Thousand Dragons Lake, and the various treasures and precious objects he possessed were absolutely no less than those of the master of the Butterfly Boundary's secret mansion. And since Kong Fang had saved the second divine beast of their clan, the benefits they would receive would definitely not be few.
After a moment's thought, the Dragon King sighed and shook his head: "No matter what kind of treasure or precious thing it is, it is not enough to repay your kindness to my clan, which has put me in a difficult position for the time being."
Kong Fang was suddenly stunned, never expecting that the favor would be so great that even the Dragon King, who was at least in the realm of Tongshen, would be troubled. Fortunately, this time he saved the young son of the proud half-blooded dragon clan, if it were another race, they might not only not give him any benefits, but also turn against him and destroy him directly, so that no benefits would need to be given.
"Alright, I'll give you a drop of my vital energy." The Dragon King suddenly made a decision.
"It's not possible, Dragon King." Upon hearing the Dragon King's words, over a dozen half-blooded dragon demons in the lake hastily dissuaded him.
"The pure blood is not only extremely precious to the Dragon King, but also taking out a drop of pure blood would weaken his power. We can use other treasures to repay the favor, if not, we can even use our own pure blood, please take back your words, Dragon King." The giant half-blooded dragon said anxiously.
Don't look at the half-blooded dragon's body, which is extremely large, but the refined essence of blood will not have many drops, so every drop of essence is extremely precious.
Kong Fang's mind was shaken, he never thought that the Dragon King would make such a decision, and actually planned to give him a drop of his own essence blood. The essence blood of a divine beast is extremely precious, not to mention it's from a powerful divine beast that is at least in the Transcending Realm, such essence blood can even change one's physique and innate talent.
Kong Fang originally thought that the Dragon King would give him some rare treasures or precious objects, and if he could get these, Kong Fang would already be very satisfied. But Kong Fang really did not think that the Dragon King would be so generous, actually wanting to take out his extremely precious vital energy.
It wasn't until he heard the words of persuasion from other half-blood dragon demons that Kong Fang suddenly woke up. The dragon king's divine blood in the Tongshen realm was indeed precious to the point of being terrifying, but it was not something he could obtain. Such precious blood would be too hot to handle even if obtained, and might even offend other half-blood dragon demons, which was not what Kong Fang wanted to see.
Qianlong Lake is a powerful force, it's better to maintain a close relationship with it, and in the future, even if you are at a dead end, you can still find a place to settle down and cultivate in Qianlong Lake.
"Dragon King, I don't want this precious blood, I..."
Kong Fang's words were cut off by the Dragon King, who raised his hand to stop him. The Dragon King's golden eyes swept over Kong Fang and the half-blooded dragon, then he said slowly: "I understand what you mean, but there is no need for either of you to persuade me. Although a drop of pure blood will have some impact on my strength, it won't be too great. I just need to rest for a while and I can recover."
The Dragon King stroked the little dragon's head, his expression solemn as he said, "Compared to a divine beast that can revive my half-blooded dragon clan, what does it matter if I spend just one drop of essence blood? If one drop of essence blood can exchange for a divine beast, I'd rather drain all the essence blood from my body."
The dragon king's words made all the half-blooded dragon demons fall silent, no longer persuading. However, every half-blooded dragon demon had a gleam in their eyes, extremely excited.
Kong Fang was also moved by the Dragon King's words, and his heart felt a little touched. This was a strong man who could do anything for his clan, although he was not human, but Kong Fang sincerely admired him.
"Alright, you all go back and arrange some things first. Since someone dares to make a move on our Qianlong Lake, I'll let him understand the consequences. After I infuse a drop of pure blood into Little Friend, I'll send him back to the Qi Sect. At the same time, I also want to see Gu Hanshan and talk to him about this matter. As for Xiao Long Xun, just leave him here with me, I'll personally guide his cultivation."
"Yes." All the half-blood dragon replied respectfully, then one by one turned around and dived into the water to quickly leave. Long Xun's mother looked at him before leaving, with a hint of reluctance in her expression, but more excitement and joy, for her child being able to receive personal guidance from the Dragon King.
Suddenly, Long Xun transformed into a golden light and quickly darted into the lake, wrapping himself around his mother's claws, with an unwilling expression on his face.
"You can come here often from now on to visit Long Xun," said the Dragon King to Long Xun's mother.
"Thank you, Lord Longwang." Long Xun's mother hastily bowed, her face full of joyful color.
"Little friend, please follow me. I'll first give you a drop of my essence blood to merge with yours, then I'll send you back to the Qizong Sect." The Dragon King said with a smile as he turned his head to face Kong Fang.
"Thank you, Senior Dragon King." Kong Fang strongly suppressed the excitement in his heart. He had thought that he wouldn't have a chance to obtain the dragon king's pure blood after all, but unexpectedly it came back around in the end.
