Douluo: Emerald Poison King

Chapter 41: The Prince's Gift, the Legend of Biluoxia
Chen Ming still didn't know how far the rumors outside had spread, because the problem facing him was no less important than that threatening by Dugu Bo.

"Your Highness the Crown Prince invited me to the Qibao Restaurant in three days? Are you right?"

Looking at the servant of the Prince's Mansion standing in front of his courtyard, Chen Ming pointed at himself in disbelief, as if he didn't understand how he could have deserved the attention of the current prince.

"Yes, this is an invitation from His Royal Highness the Crown Prince. Please do me the honor. There will be no outsiders invited to the meeting three days later. Only the Crown Prince and you will be talking. Please accept this invitation and the gift from my master."

The servant in gorgeous clothes smiled and spoke neither servilely nor arrogantly. With a slight swing of his arm, he took out a three-foot square wooden box from the storage soul guide that looked like a pendant on his waist.

The box itself is made from the body of some kind of plant soul beast. Although it is unknown how long the box has been made, it still has a faint plant fragrance. When you sniff it lightly, you can still feel the soul power in the body slightly accelerated. It is obvious that it is very expensive.

As soon as the box appeared, Chen Ming could feel the martial spirit in his body moving with joy. The source of this commotion was not the box, but the thing hidden in the box.

Chen Ming glanced at the servant sent by the Prince's Mansion in front of him with a complicated expression, but he still reached out to take the wooden box.

The lid of the box was slightly lifted, and the things stored inside began to emit soul power fluctuations outward, and the restlessness of Chen Ming's martial soul became more and more obvious.

Relying on his own eyesight, Chen Ming took less than a second to determine what was in the box. Then he reached out and touched it. After confirming that the thing was really what he imagined, he fell into silence.

It was a small piece of green stone that seemed to have been in the air for a long time, with strange patterns on it. Although it looked like it had been silent for a long time, it still attracted the surrounding soul power after being exposed to the air, swallowing and spitting out like a living thing.

As he slightly activated his soul power, a strong sense of oppression came from inside the stone. Even though Chen Ming was prepared, he was forced to take a few steps back before he could stand firm.

"Is this the remains of the Jade Dragon of the Blue Sky?"

"That's exactly it." The servant of the Prince's Mansion smiled, and was obviously not surprised that Chen Ming knew this thing.

"Speaking of which, this item has a deep connection with your family. Since it was put into the national treasury hundreds of years ago, no one has been able to use it, causing the treasure to be covered in dust for hundreds of years. I believe that with your talent, you will be able to make good use of it."

"That's true. Thank you for the gift, Prince."

After closing the lid, the smile on Chen Ming's face became more sincere. He couldn't help but sigh in his heart that Qian Renxue was indeed a person who could do great things.

The Azure Jade Dragon is a super soul beast that is said to have the bloodline of the mythical beast Azure Dragon. However, there are many different opinions about its origin.

Some people say that this soul beast was originally a sub-dragon like the dragon blood centipede, but because it accidentally got a dragon ball of the Azure Dragon, it has the blood of the Azure Dragon, and the Azure Jade Dragon race was born.

Some people also say that this kind of soul beast is originally a descendant of the Azure Dragon, but due to various reasons, the attributes in its bloodline have been reversed or contaminated by external forces, causing the original life and thunder attributes to be reversed into death and poison.

But no matter what, this kind of soul beast is indeed recognized by the soul masters of Douluo Continent as a super soul beast that inherits the bloodline of the divine beast Azure Dragon.

This soul beast was originally dark purple, like a centipede. It sheds its skin once every hundred years, and each shed is a matter of life and death. Every time it sheds its skin, its body grows a bit, and its bloodline becomes closer to that of a blue dragon, and its appearance gradually changes from dark purple to green.

Every ten thousand years, a section of this soul beast's body will turn into a dragon. After ninety thousand years, its entire body will completely turn into the appearance of a blue dragon, with only the dragon horns on its head showing purple. This is a symbol of the extreme growth of the poison and death attributes in the body. It is said that when it breaks through the 100,000-year catastrophe, its two attributes will be sublimated to the extreme, and once again reversed back to the thunder and life that the blue dragon should have controlled. It has the ability to call the wind and rain, drive thunder and lightning.

At that time, he was the Azure Dragon possessing the four attributes of life, death, thunder and poison.

However, these are all theoretical studies. In reality, it seems that no one has discovered that this soul beast has really transformed into a four-attribute blue dragon. It is said that there were many such soul beasts on the Douluo Continent ten thousand years ago. But for some reason, it seems that no one has ever been seen to break through the 100,000-year heavenly tribulation and really transform into a blue dragon.

As for why Chen Ming knows so much about this legendary soul beast?

That's of course because this thing really has a deep connection with the Chen family, just as the servants in the Prince's Mansion said.

It is said that a super poisonous soul beast fell in the Biluo Gorge outside Biluo City before the 100,000-year catastrophe. But in fact, this is not just a legend.

When Biluo City was first built, the Chen family was also ordered by the Tiandou Royal Family to search for the remains of a hundred thousand year soul beast. While exploring the depths of Biluo Gorge, the Chen family discovered the place where the hundred thousand year soul beast fell and found the remains left by the soul beast.

Yes, that legendary soul beast is the Azure Sky Jade Dragon, an unlucky creature that was said to have already become half a Azure Dragon, with the death attribute in its body reversed into life, but ultimately failed at the threshold of the mutual transformation between thunder and poison attributes.

Logically speaking, a soul beast that was killed by a hundred thousand year heavenly tribulation should be reduced to ashes, and it is difficult to leave any debris. But perhaps because the Azure Jade Dragon is not only powerful but also has noble blood, although most of its body has turned to ashes, it still leaves this debris.

The remains of the Blue Sky Jade Dragon were indeed attractive, but the Chen family did not dare to keep them privately. After trying every possible way to scrape off any debris from the wreckage without success, they handed it over to the Tiandou royal family and took the reward money given by the royal family.

After all, the Tiandou Empire at that time was not as bad as it is now. Although there were still countless nobles in the country, they all had to bow to the emperor of that generation, and the imperial power was very concentrated. It was a rare era when the Tiandou Empire could rely on the power of the whole country to fight against the neighboring Xingluo Empire.

Chen Ming’s grandfather Chen Shijie once complained to Chen Ming that if their ancestors had been brave enough to keep the remains of the Qingtian Jade Dragon, there might not have been so many troubles later.

Even if that thing can't be used directly, but soaking it in water is a treasure for poison attribute soul masters to practice. When sleeping with it in arms, the soul power of poison attribute soul masters will be driven to slowly increase.

With that kind of treasure, future generations will not be affected by the Green Phosphorus Seven Wonders Flowers to the point of having their inheritance cut off.

Who would have thought that this treasure that slipped away from the hands of the ancestors would eventually fall into Chen Ming's hands after going around for hundreds of years.

If the ancestors of the Chen family and the emperor of that generation who carefully locked this piece of wreckage in the treasury knew about this, they would probably be so angry that they would jump up from their graves.

"The world is unpredictable." Chen Ming sighed, but a desire for strength arose in his heart.

In Douluo Continent, power does not equal strength, but strength is definitely equal to power.

Now he still has to look at other people's faces, but if he had the strength, wouldn't the treasure houses of the two empires of Tiandou and Xingluo be at his disposal?
