After all the sacrifices have been made to speed pass, who is still practicing hard skills?

Chapter 490 The Desire of the State Master!
"Greetings, my lord. I was delayed for a few days to recover from my injuries and was not able to leave in time. I hope your lord can forgive me."

Ao Kun was wearing a black-patterned brocade robe and raised his hand to salute Jiang Che respectfully.

"How's the injury?"

Jiang Che motioned to Ao Kun to sit down.

After several expeditions, regardless of whether Ao Kun's life was in danger or not, he had made great contributions to him, so it was impossible for him to be treated as a mount casually.

"Thanks to the healing medicines prepared by the master, I am no longer in danger." Ao Kun said with a smile, but he did not tell the truth. In the previous battle, all the scales on his body were smashed to pieces.

Even with all kinds of precious spiritual objects to make up for it, his injuries were still too severe and it would take some time to recover. But just saying that made it seem like he was complaining.

As for the severity of the injury, he felt that Jiang Che must have an idea of ​​it.

Jiang Che naturally understood this aspect. It was not just Ao Kun. In fact, the reason why he did not summon the other grand masters in the past few days was because they were all in seclusion recuperating from their injuries.

As for the Grand Master of Divine Appearance, even if he provides a large amount of cultivation resources, it will still take time to recover as before.

“There’s no need to hide anything in front of me. You really worked hard in the previous battle. There are countless spiritual objects in the treasure house. Just take them at will.” Jiang Che chuckled.

Although Jiang Che does not have many top-notch spiritual objects in his hands now, he still has quite a few ordinary spiritual objects and medicines, and he can even be said to be wealthy.

Naturally, I won't be stingy with anything.

Long before, he had asked Zhou Xuan and others to draw up a reward and punishment system, where anyone who made meritorious contributions would be rewarded with a corresponding spiritual object.

"Thank you, my lord. I wonder if you have any instructions for me by calling the old dragon this time?" Ao Kun knew that Jiang Che was very busy and he also knew his current situation.

If there was no order, he would never be summoned.

Jiang Che did not lie to the other party and said bluntly:
"I think you are also aware of the skills I practice, which are related to the dragon element. If you want to improve your own blood and energy, you need a lot of dragon spiritual objects. I came to you to see if your dragon essence can be of any use to me.

You should know that although the battle of Yangping Pass is over, the crisis has not completely dissipated. I am surrounded by enemies on all sides and I dare not relax even a little.

Of course, if your Dragon Essence is really useful to me, I will not treat you unfairly and will help you refine another one."

Ao Kun was stunned for a moment when he heard this, and a hint of hesitation flashed in his eyes. Dragon essence is the dragon ball, and his dragon ball is equivalent to the power of his body, which is no different from the golden elixir of the human race.

If someone else wanted to take his dragon essence, he would rather die than agree.

But Jiang Che was different. The other party controlled his lifeblood. He didn't even have the ability to resist. He sighed lightly and nodded:

"Since the master needs it, I will offer it to you."

At this moment, he was already prepared to cultivate for several decades and condense the dragon ball again. He took a deep breath, immediately revealed the head of a dragon, and spit out a dragon ball the size of a lantern.

As soon as the thought came to his mind, Jiang Che immediately summoned the dragon ball to his front, but when he opened the sacrificial monument and prepared to put Ao Kun's dragon ball into the space of the monument, his face darkened slightly.

Because Ao Kun's dragon essence did not change at all.

Jiang Che's eyes moved slightly, and he realized that Ao Kun's dragon bead did not meet the requirements of the sacrifice. Perhaps the dragon essence needed for the sacrifice was the dragon essence of a real dragon!

Seeing Jiang Che's thoughtful expression, Ao Kun didn't dare to tremble at all.

After a moment, Jiang Che waved his hand and returned the dragon ball to Ao Kun.

"My Lord, what are you doing?"

Ao Kun hesitated, not knowing what Jiang Che meant. Didn't he need the dragon ball to practice? Why did he suddenly beat it back?
"This dragon ball of yours is of no use to me. Swallow it."

Jiang Che said calmly.

Ao Kun paused after hearing this, then swallowed the dragon ball back into his stomach. After thinking for a moment, he figured out Jiang Che's problem. He guessed that it was the quality of his dragon ball that could not improve Jiang Che's cultivation.

Seeing this, he naturally breathed a sigh of relief, but he did not show it. Seeing Jiang Che's expression lost in thought, his eyes moved slightly, and he suddenly spoke:

"Could it be that what the master needs is the dragon essence of a real dragon?"

"Do you know the whereabouts of this thing?"

Jiang Che's expression moved and his eyes fell on Ao Kun.

Things like Dragon Essence are extremely rare in the world. It took the Purple Dragon Dharma King of the Qingtian Sect many years to plan for a real dragon medicine. Now it is almost impossible to find the trace of a real dragon.

If even a dragon like Ao Kun doesn't know where it is, then he may have to travel to the overseas abyss and go to a battlefield outside the domain before he can perhaps find it.

“I don’t know about this thing, but…” Ao Kun hesitated for a moment and then said, “Although I don’t know the whereabouts of the True Dragon Yuan.

But from the blood inheritance, we know that the Dragon Transformation Pool is based on the true dragon essence. If the master can enter the Dragon Transformation Pool, he may be able to find a dragon essence. "

"Then do you know where this Dragon Pond is?"

Ao Kun nodded slightly:

“The magical powers of my Jiaolong clan all come from blood inheritance, which contains not only skills but also various inherited knowledge. I discovered it from the blood imprint more than a hundred years ago.

In a void crack deep in the Ten Thousand Mountains of southern Xinjiang, there is a blood pool that can transform my Jiaolong clan into dragons. However, I guess it is most likely related to the Demon Realm.

And it is necessary to cross the turbulence of the void, but even if we ordinary dragons have reached the perfect realm of the demon king, we cannot resist the turbulence of the void, so my subordinates cannot get it at all.

I didn’t take it to heart.”

"Crossing the turbulent void."

Jiang Che's heart was secretly moved.

If it were before, he really wouldn't be able to cross the turbulence of the void, but now that he has refined the Qiankun Tower, and with the help of this thing, it seems that it is not impossible for him to cross the turbulence of the void.

But if it is related to the demon realm, it would be dangerous.

He is a human being. If he accidentally steps into the territory of the demon race, he will definitely be besieged.

Seeing Jiang Che's hesitation, Ao Kun immediately asked Jiang Che about his concerns, and Jiang Che told him the truth. Upon hearing this, Ao Kun said:

“My Lord, there is no need to worry too much about this. From the blood memory that we have inherited, we can see that the abyss in the East China Sea has blocked the entire demon realm.

Even the turbulence in the void cannot be crossed, otherwise the great saints of the demon race or the martial saints of the human race would have sneaked in long ago. The secret realm is related to the demon realm, but it is likely to be a legacy left behind by the powerful men of the demon realm.

What really trapped us was the danger in the turbulent void."

Jiang Che nodded, and then asked some more details, but he did not express whether he would go or not. He still had to ask other people before he could find out some secrets.

After Ao Kun left, Jiang Che immediately took out a Taoist stone talisman from his sleeve. This was something that the National Master Yao Yue had left for him, and it did not have the power of a Martial Saint.

But it is used for communication.

Yao Yue told him that he could contact her in advance if he encountered danger in the future.

However, this is somewhat useless to Jiang Che. After all, if the Martial Saint attacks, even if Yao Yue gets the news, it will be impossible for her to arrive immediately.

At most, it is just a small device for communication.

Therefore, Jiang Che did not take it too seriously, but now after listening to Ao Kun's story, he had to find someone to ask, and using this thing was undoubtedly the most appropriate.

As his fingertips rubbed the divine patterns on the stone talisman, a strange look flashed in Jiang Che's eyes.

When Yao Yue helped him to subdue Xie Chong, he had heard something like desire, but because Yao Yue was present, he could not ask more. But after Yao Yue left, he could not wait to ask Xie Chong.

Naturally, I also learned about the situation at that time.

When Xie Chong was fighting with Yao Yue before, although he was easily suppressed by Yao Yue due to his shallow foundation, he was actually a creature transformed from dirty air and had the magical power to stir up the devil of desire.

At that time, the evil spirit aroused Yao Yue's desire.

And that desire was exactly him.

Jiang Che was actually a little puzzled at the time, because this meant that the National Master Yao Yue had the idea of ​​practicing dual cultivation with him, so he was aroused, which meant that the other party was greedy for his body.

But the problem is that Jiang Che hasn't figured out why this happened in the past few days.

Although he had unparalleled talent and extraordinary looks, he could never compare with the Taoist master of the Xuantian Wuji Palace in terms of cultivation or status.

The two sides had very little interaction, and had only met three times since the beginning.

Yao Yue appears even more aloof and cold to others, and practices the way of ruthlessness.

This is a bit problematic.

How could a Taoist leader who practices the Way of Ruthlessness be convinced by him?
He thinks he doesn't have that charm yet.

He immediately felt that something was not right. Yao Yue might be planning something, but he had been thinking about it over and over again in the past few days and still hadn't figured out the secret.

This thought flashed through his mind as Jiang Che quietly passed in a trace of his magic power.

After a moment, the stone talisman glowed, and a cold voice slowly rang out:
"What's the matter?"

"What is the Imperial Master busy with?"

Jiang Che greeted him casually, but he still felt a little awkward.

"Practice."

Yao Yue's tone was as cold as ever. It would have been fine if he didn't know that Yao Yue had feelings for him, but since he found out, he always felt a little awkward listening to this cold voice.

I feel that this Imperial Master, although seemingly aloof from others, is actually very sultry in private.

"Jiang has a few things I would like to ask the Imperial Master."

"explain."

Immediately, Jiang Che recounted the so-called secret realm of the demon clan, emphasizing the so-called Tianyuan.

There was silence inside the stone talisman for a moment, and then Yao Yue's voice came out slowly:

"The Abyss of Heaven has existed thousands of years ago. According to records, it was established by immortals to divide the spiritual realm where humans live and the demon realm where demons live. Even if you walk through the chaotic flow of the void, you can't step into the demon realm. However, in recent years, the barrier of the Abyss of Heaven has loosened. If you seek the secret realm of the demon race, you must be careful."

"Thank you, Master, for clearing up my doubts."

"anymore question?"

Jiang Che's eyes moved slightly. It was impossible for him to contact Yao Yue only to ask this question this time. It just so happened that there was no trace of the Heavenly Soul Holy Lotus and the Yin-Yang Taoist Fruit, so it was feasible to ask the other party.

After all, Yao Yue is the head of the Taoist sect and the national teacher of a country. Whether in terms of magical powers or background, he is far superior to Yuanshen Venerable.

"Have you ever heard of the Heavenly Soul Sacred Lotus and the Yin-Yang Dao Fruit, Imperial Master?"

"know."

"These two spiritual objects are very useful to my cultivation. If the Imperial Master knows the whereabouts of these two spiritual objects, can you help me solve my doubts?"

“The Holy Heavenly Soul Lotus is a spiritual object that nourishes the soul. It is quite rare. There is one in the Wuji Palace. If you want it, I can give it to you, but you have to exchange it for something of equal value.

As for the Yin-Yang Dao Fruit, it is in Tianjian Mountain."

Jiang Che showed a look of joy, he did not expect there would be an unexpected surprise, he quickly said:

"Then I wonder what kind of spiritual object the Imperial Master needs?"

"The only thing in your hand that is more valuable than the Heavenly Soul Sacred Lotus is the Qiankun Pagoda, but this thing is useless to me. Please exchange it with the dragon vein in your hand."

"To be honest with you, Master, I have already refined the dragon vein in my hand, and I really can't take it out. Can you change the conditions?"

The stone talisman was silent for a moment before continuing:
"Then I'll just owe you money for now."

"Thank you, Imperial Master."

Jiang Che's brows twitched slightly. He really didn't expect Yao Yue to be so generous. It was equivalent to directly giving him a top-notch spiritual object. It was really surprising.

Could it be because of that desire?
"No need to thank me, you will have to pay me back later."

"Master, rest assured. If I have a spiritual object that can rival the Heavenly Soul Sacred Lotus, I will definitely give it to you. By the way, Master, do you think that I can exchange the Yin-Yang Dao Fruit for an equivalent spiritual object?"

"This item is a secret treasure of Tianjian Mountain. It is related to a legacy. It is almost impossible for you to get it, unless Ji Chengdao speaks up, maybe he can make Tianjian Mountain compromise."

"I see. Thank you, Master, for clearing up my confusion."

"Why didn't you ask when I was here?"

"this."

"If you don't want to talk, that's fine, but do you have anything else to ask?"

"temporarily unavailable."

"The power of the stone talisman can only be used three times. In addition to transmitting messages, it can also allow me to sense your whereabouts no matter where I am. Please use it with caution in the future." Yao Yue said lightly.

After saying that, he quickly cut off the connection.

Jiang Che couldn't even utter the last words of farewell and could only chuckle.

However, even though Yao Yue acted so cold, Jiang Che could still feel that Yao Yue treated him a little differently. This was not a normal belief, but was based on previous desires.

Who knows, he might be able to take down the Imperial Master in the future.

But if that were true, wouldn't he have an additional Martial Saint to back him up?
From the Qi sisters to Zhao Xianzhi, and finally to Yao Yue.

Jiang Che felt that if he could really win over Yao Yue, the path of martial arts would really be like relying on a woman to practice. Thinking of this, Jiang Che smiled.

Soon, Jiang Che restrained some of his thoughts and turned his attention to the sacrifice.

Now the Holy Heavenly Soul Lotus has been found, and the Evil-Repelling Thunder Heart Bead, Dragon Essence, and even the Yin-Yang Taoist Fruit have all been accounted for. Next, we just need to follow the steps.

One step closer to the holy realm.

The future is expected!
