Chapter 41 Dragon Ball
"Earth Dragon Pearl..." Chu Zhiyuan pondered.

He searched in his mind.

Soon some records of Dragon Ball were found.

There are all kinds of strange beasts in the four secret places. They are extremely powerful and far superior to the beasts in Dajing and other places in the world.

There are dragons in the four secret places.

Earth dragons, crane dragons, blue dragons, turtle dragons, flying dragons, etc. are all top predators and are at the top of the chain of monsters.

The Earth Dragon is one of the weakest dragons.

Only the Grand Master has the power to resist.

Without a grandmaster guarding it, any dragon that escaped from the secret place could wreak havoc across the world, and countless civilians and martial arts masters would have died.

Only the top masters among the grand masters can kill the dragon.

Only by killing the dragon can you get the dragon ball.

The Earth Dragon Ball should be the dragon ball of the earth dragon.

He thought back to the treasure catalogue in Tianbaosi, and found that there were no dragon balls in the catalogue, but there were some other dragon items.

For example, the lowest grade dragon blood stone is only of the ninth grade.

The other ranks rose sharply.

Earth Dragon Armor, seventh grade.

Earth dragon blood, sixth grade.

Red dragon blood, fifth grade.

Dragon tendon bows, dragon teeth, and dragon eyes are all of different grades, all higher than grade six, and even dragon blood is already grade three.

……

Lu Wan sighed and said, "This Earth Dragon Ball was obtained by a disciple by chance. It is quite beneficial to cultivation. I didn't expect that the Houtu Sect came to find it and said it was theirs."

"If you don't give it to me, the Houtu Sect will be unhappy?"

"Yes."

"...Do you know the roots of the Houtu Sect?"

"I heard that the concubine of the Thirteenth Prince Huai is the daughter of the leader of the Houtu Sect."

"Do you think that the Houtu Sect dare not do anything to you, after all, Grandmaster Song is here?"

“…I really didn’t expect that.”

"Under normal circumstances, they would not do anything reckless for the sake of the Grand Master... It seems that the Earth Dragon Ball is very important to them."

Even though the Hou Tu Sect has the Huai Palace as its backer, they would not dare to provoke the Grand Master at will. If they dare to provoke him, there must be a reason. One is that the Earth Dragon Pearl is too important to them, and the other is that they have the upper hand.

In the Dajing Dynasty, no matter how powerful a Grand Master is, he still has to be reasonable and cannot act recklessly, especially when it comes to the royal family.

Lu Wan was silent.

Chu Zhiyuan asked: "Are you determined not to give them the Earth Dragon Ball?"

Lu Wan shook her head: "If we give it to them, another faction will come and say that a certain treasure was originally theirs and ask our faction to return it."

“That’s not the case. Not every sect has the support of the Huai Palace.” Chu Zhiyuan said, “…Of course, it’s not just the Houtu Sect.”

As far as he knew, many of the sects in Yujing had connections with the royal palace.

Lu Wan whispered, "The Houtu Sect did this because they relied on the power of the Huai Palace. Doesn't the Huai Palace care about them?"

"As for Uncle Thirteen..." Chu Zhiyuan shook his head.

According to his understanding, the Huai Palace would not care.

After all, there is nothing wrong with standing on the side of Hou Tu Sect. If your treasure falls into the hands of others, there is nothing wrong in trying to get it back.

Everyone has a different stance and it's hard to tell who's right or wrong.

Lu Wan frowned slightly, revealing a disappointed look: "I didn't want to disturb Uncle Song with trivial matters."

Chu Zhiyuan laughed.

This is a definite threat.

You have your backing, and I'll bring out mine, let's see who has the stronger backing.

This is the style of the people in the martial arts world, being straightforward and not playing tricks.

The Houtu Sect's actions were relatively tactful, but it was quite domineering to cripple a Feihua Sword Sect disciple right away.

It can be seen that they really did not take the Feihua Sword Sect seriously. So what if they had Grandmaster Song? They were sure that Grandmaster Song would not dare to do anything to them.

At this time, Song Feiqiong actually had no choice but to take action to deal with the Houtu Sect, otherwise it would be difficult to protect the Feihua Sword Sect.

The Hou Tu Sect has never produced a grandmaster, so they have no understanding of grandmasters at all, and do not know the changes in a grandmaster's mentality and perspective that occur at that level.

Once one becomes a Grand Master, one's mind and nature will naturally change. Worldly affairs are like floating clouds, and all things are empty. One will only pursue the truest nature, true feelings and beliefs in one's heart.

So they won't be restricted too much and can fight whenever they want.

As long as you don't directly attack the emperor, don't directly punish the princes, and don't cause chaos in the world, the emperor will just turn a blind eye.

So this time, the Houtu Sect will definitely suffer a defeat.

But if this really happened, the Huai Palace would lose face, and the royal family would also lose face. "Elder Lu, tell me, what exactly is this Earth Dragon Ball?" Chu Zhiyuan asked, "Is there anything that can replace it?"

He only knew the origin of the Dragon Balls, but didn't know their magical uses, so he wanted to take the opportunity to find out.

Moreover, he made associations between the Hou Tu Sect and the Di Long Zhu just by looking at their names.

I'm afraid that the other dragon balls are not that important to the Houtu Sect. Only the Earth Dragon Ball is likely to be in line with the Houtu Sect's Huangtian Houtu Sutra, or in line with the Earth Lord.

It should involve the secrets of spiritual practice.

Lu Wanming's eyes flickered as she stared at Chu Zhiyuan.

She finally bit her red lips, made up her mind, and said slowly: "The Earth Dragon Ball contains power, a very strange power that can replenish the lack of internal energy and true energy, just like another Dantian."

"Can it help with cultivation?" Chu Zhiyuan asked.

This is similar to his own Di Yuan Jue.

The Di Yuan Jue requires a lot of energy to activate, but the Earth Dragon Pearl can directly replenish it, which is indeed of great benefit to cultivation.

Especially practicing martial arts.

If you want to master a martial art, there are generally two dimensions. One is comprehension, which means you can understand the essence of it and then truly master it. The other is timing, which means you need to practice it to perfection. Practice makes perfect.

Just like his own Great Avalanche Sword Technique, he mastered it quickly relying on his super high comprehension, but he was unable to increase its power later.

Performing the Great Avalanche Sword Technique will drain all the true energy once. Without the Di Yuan Technique and Tian Yuan Technique, it can only be practiced once a day, thirty times a month, and three hundred and sixty times a year.

And with the Di Yuan Jue, one has to practice it more than 360 times a day.

What's more, practicing once a day for 360 times will have completely different effects from practicing 360 times a day.

Without the Di Yuan Jue and Tian Yuan Jue, the power of the Great Avalanche Sword Jue is now less than half.

It can be seen how much help the Di Yuan Jue and Tian Yuan Jue can bring to spiritual practice.

Earth Dragon Pearls have the same effect.

This kind of treasure is indeed tempting, no wonder the Houtu Sect cannot give it up just because of the Grand Master.

However, this Earth Dragon Ball is still different from his own Earth Yuan Jue.

The Earth Dragon Ball is similar to an elixir that replenishes internal energy and true energy. Although it is not the kind of elixir that can directly improve cultivation, it is still an external force after all, and it will still affect the path to becoming a grandmaster.

The Di Yuan Jue is to draw the power of heaven and earth by oneself, which will not affect the path to becoming a grandmaster.

……

Lu Wan nodded: "Yes, it is of great help to cultivation. I have never heard of anything that can replace it."

Chu Zhiyuan sighed and searched in his mind for any treasure that could have such an effect.

There are countless treasures in Tianbaosi, so there must be treasures of this kind. It’s just that I only know their names and am not very clear about their uses.

There are many elixirs in Tianbao Division that can restore internal energy. These elixirs can save lives at critical moments, so they are very valuable and no one is willing to use them for normal practice.

"Elder Lu, can I ask you how your disciples got this chance?"

Lu Wan said: "I was extremely lucky. I accidentally stumbled into an ancestral cave. The Earth Dragon Pearl was inside the cave, and it was left for those who are destined to be with me."

"Is this ancestor from the Houtu Sect?"

"It's an elder."

"They think it should be returned, but you must be reluctant to give it up and think that whatever they say is the truth. How can that be justified?"

"Even if the person in the cave is really an elder of Houtu Sect," Lu Wan said, "it was given by this elder, and he did not instruct us to return it to Houtu Sect."

“No matter who it is, no one will hand over this treasure.” Chu Zhiyuan nodded, understanding the Feihua Sword Sect’s thoughts.

No one can accept giving up the treasure they have obtained and then losing it again.

What's more, the Feihua Sword Sect has another concern. If they really hand it over, it would be a sign of weakness, and would appear to be soft and vulnerable, and anyone could bully them.

If that really happens, it would be a joke. It would not only bring shame to Song Feiqiong, but also make it impossible to attract talented young people to join the Feihua Sword School.

Chu Zhiyuan seemed to be thinking about something.

Besides the Prince Huai's Palace, are there any other shadows behind the Houtu Sect?

He suddenly shouted, "Master Gao!"

"Sir." Gao Lingfeng pushed the door open.

Chu Zhiyuan said: "Bring over the files of the Houtu Sect. The more detailed the better... Also, ask the Supervisory Department to submit the files of the Houtu Sect as well."

Now is a special period, so I have the authority to view the files of the Supervisory Office, but I am afraid that it will be gone after this period of time.

"...Yes." Gao Lingfeng was stunned for a moment, and finally gritted his teeth and agreed.

The Supervisory Department is the head of all departments and is above all others. It has always been the Supervisory Department that reviews the files of the six departments, but there has never been a time when the six departments reviewed the files of the Supervisory Department.

The prince is indeed different from ordinary officials.

After Gao Lingfeng left, Chu Zhiyuan looked at Lu Wan and said, "Elder Lu, please go back for now. I will investigate this matter thoroughly."

Lu Wan clasped her fists and said, "Then I'll have to trouble you, sir."

She stood up and walked out of the room and left the Ministry of Rites.

Chu Zhiyuan paced around the room with his hands behind his back.
