Chapter 26: Golden Python

  "Still, be careful, you now have the upper hand with the treasure, but don't be careless, my master had countless treasures back then, yet still fell to those twelve people's siege and ended up like this." Yun Zhongzi said.

  "Got it, Master." Sun Ming said.

  "Are these two still quite wealthy?" Sun Ming transferred the items from his storage wristband into his own Su Mei ring one by one.

  "Wow, just twenty pieces of top-grade crystal stone, looks like these two have robbed quite a few people! Oh, Taiyi Golden Essence, and so much of it too! Haha, Tianxin Iron, this is great stuff for refining the Yuan Ying Heart Armor!" Sun Ming stood on his flying sword with an expression of sudden wealth, laughing wildly.

  "This silly child, he's so delighted with such a small thing. Well, it's no wonder, in this place where even the floorboards are treasured, these things are enough to delight him." Cloud Middle Child thought to himself.

  Sun Ming stood on the flying sword like this for a while, taking out a top-grade crystal stone from his ring, and then again taking out a piece of Tianxin iron, silly smiling all along.

  "Tomorrow, be clear-headed." Yun Zhongzi said.

  "What's up, Master?" Sun Ming was still immersed in the sweetness of making a fortune and asked foolishly.

  "Be careful, there's a strong fluctuation of the True Yuan energy ahead, it seems like someone is fighting. You should be cautious and take a look." Yun Zhongzi said.

  Sun Ming only now discovered that the seawater around him had formed various-sized whirlpools without any regular pattern, and Sun Ming's eyes widened in shock as he gazed out at the sight.

  Two golden-yellow monsters were swirling in mid-air, and in front of the two monsters, there was actually a person standing in mid-air, with a shining treasure in front of him. Sun Ming looked at it and found that it was an extremely rare and precious treasure of the top-grade spiritual instrument level.

  "Master, what are those two monsters?" Sun Ming asked.

  "What a monster! That's a Jiaolong, or rather, a Jiaolong that is about to transform into a dragon." Yun Zhongzi said.

  "Master, so that's a dragon, a Jiaolong? Can't this thing be refined into a Golden Jiao Clip?" Sun Ming exclaimed.

  "Indeed, their dragon soul can be used to refine the Golden Scissors." Cloud Middle Child said.

  "However, these two Jiaolong have extremely high cultivation and are about to transform into real dragons. Their strength is probably equivalent to that of the Tribulation period. You'd better not think wildly now, one swipe of their claws can kill you." Yun Zhongzi said.

  "Master, are there many kinds of dragons too?" Sun Ming asked.

  "Dragons are divided into Jiao, Kui, Huan, Qiu, Panhu, Jiaolong, Panlong, Qinglong and so on. The two dragons we see now cannot be called dragons, they can only be called Jiao Long. Jiao Long is a spiritual beast born with the ability to ride clouds and fog. These two Jiao Long are golden yellow all over their bodies, they should be the kind of Jiao Long that will transform into a dragon after cultivating for more than 9,000 years." Yun Zhongzi explained.

  "That master, you said that the two pythons are equivalent to the tribulation period cultivation, so why is this person still standing in front of them? Shouldn't he have run away long ago? Is he scared silly?" Sun Ming asked.

  "Do you think everyone wants to be as powerful as you?" Yun Zhongzi said.

  "That person's cultivation is even more astonishing, it's just that you can't sense it because your own cultivation is too low." Yun Zhongzi said.

  "Impossible, could he be a Grandmaster of the Great Vehicle period?" Sun Ming exclaimed in shock.

  "What a Mahayana period master! A human Mahayana period master may not even be a match for a Tribulation period dragon, you know. Any spiritual beast with a Dragon Son is incredibly powerful, after all, the Dragon is the king of spiritual beasts." Yun Zhongzi said.

  "This person is facing two tribulation dragons and yet remains unflappable, could he be an immortal? No way, isn't it said that there are only a few immortals in the Cultivation Realm?" Sun Mingdao said.

  "Well, this person can be considered a celestial being, only that he's an unattached immortal, and still the kind who has passed through the calamity of an unattached immortal." Yun Zhongzi said.

  "Scattered Immortal?" Sun Ming's jaw dropped in incredulity as he stared at the distant, ethereal figure, unable to utter another word. It was actually a top-tier existence from the Cultivation Realm. At this moment, only one thought remained in Sun Ming's mind.

  "Alas, even a free and easy immortal like myself has his own sorrows." Yun Zhongzi sighed.

  "The Scattered Immortals refer to those who have not crossed the Heavenly Tribulation and lost their physical bodies, but instead used specific objects to cultivate their primordial spirit into an immortal. However, because they did not cross the Heavenly Tribulation, they remain in the lower realm, possessing strength that surpasses most cultivators, and also use the spiritual energy of the immortals for cultivation. But due to the insufficient spiritual energy in the lower realm, it is difficult for them to make progress in their cultivation. Every thousand years, they must cross the Heavenly Tribulation once, a total of twelve times, each time stronger than the last. If they can cross these twelve tribulations, they will directly ascend to the Immortal Realm, with cultivation comparable to that of the Taiyi Golden Immortals. But if they fail to cross this tribulation, they will disappear into nothingness." Cloud Middle Child said.

  "This Immortal is probably also preparing for his next Tribulation by coming to hunt and kill these two Jiaolong." Yun Zhongzi said.

  "Alas, this loose immortal is almost invincible in this realm, but has to run around for survival, what a pity." Sun Ming sighed.

  "But don't worry, Master. In the future when I become a saint, I will definitely help you refine the best flesh body." Sun Mingdao said.

  "Haha, you've become a saint, with your greedy nature." Yun Zhongzi laughed.

  Just as Sun Ming and Yun Zhongzi were speaking, the situation changed again. It seemed that the scattered immortal did not want to make it too difficult for the two dragons, and actually started negotiating with them.

  "The old man thought of you cultivating is not easy, didn't want to hurt your life, as long as you call out the Dragon Ball, you can leave." said the Immortal.

  "This loose immortal unexpectedly didn't have the heart to kill, but taking the dragon pearl from the Jiaolong is not much different from killing them. Alas, it seems a fierce battle is unavoidable." Cloud Middle Child said.

  "Why is that, Master? Can't you just give it to him?" Sun Mingdao said.

  "If you've endured loneliness and cultivated for over 9,000 years, and suddenly someone says to you, 'Wait a bit longer in your cultivation of over 9,000 years,' how would you react?" Cloudy Patriarch said.

  "Well, it seems like we're going to witness a big battle this time." Sun Ming said thoughtfully.

  "Don't pretend to be here, my husband and I have cultivated for over 9,000 years. Are we going to hand over the results of our 9,000-year cultivation to you? Hmph, let's settle this once and for all today!" The giant dragon said.

  Only two dragon heads were seen, and with a swing of their tails, countless water pillars shot out in a flash, rushing towards that loose immortal.

  "What's the point of this again?" The immortal said. He stretched out his hand and pointed, and so many water pillars stopped directly, then dispersed into the sky and disappeared from view.

  "Stop looking, this loose immortal's cultivation is absolutely above three calamities. If it were a newly cultivated loose immortal or a one-calamity loose immortal, these two pythons would still have a chance to fight back. Now it seems the difference in strength is too great. A three-calamity loose immortal is almost equivalent to an ordinary immortal's cultivation. It seems that these two pythons will definitely lose their dragon pearls today." Yun Zhongzi sighed.

  As expected, the two pythons used up all their strength but were still caught by that loose immortal.

  "Alas, what's the point of this again? I'm just using your Dragon Ball." said the Immortal.

  "Hmph, old man, why must you speak so much? Don't you know the importance of the Dragon Balls to us dragons?" said Jiaolong.

  Sun Ming looked at it for a long time, and the immortal also felt that the negotiation seemed to have no meaning. He directly took out an immortal sword, cut open the bellies of the two pythons, took their internal elixirs, and sighed as he flew away.

  "Hurry up and collect the corpses of those two Jiaolong dragons." Yun Zhongzi exclaimed urgently.

  Sun Ming stored the two dragon corpses in his Su Mei ring and immediately dove to the bottom of the sea, using a high-quality spiritual artifact to set up a Spiritual Void Heaven Array to hide inside.

  "Now above your head in the sky there are at least over a hundred Nascent Soul stage or higher experts." Yun Zhongzi said.

  "Hehe, Master, I've made a fortune this time." Sun Ming said.

  "The body of the Jiaolong, haha, scales, dragon tendons, dragon bones, dragon horns, enough for me to refine a set of Jiaolong armor, although I couldn't refine the Golden Jiaolong Scissors, haha but it's not bad either." Sun Ming said proudly in the formation.

  "Who says you can't refine Golden Chelon Shears?" Yun Zhongzi said.
