Chapter 188 Abyssal Source (Subscription Request)

About half an hour ago, when Lin Rui went to see Meng Weiyun, Lin Xi was following Zhou An and the Wang couple into a cave under the Zhou family's main house.

Lin Xi was extremely surprised to find that this cave was actually built with iron-hard stones that were ten feet wide and three feet long. In addition, there was a layer of Jueyuan stone inside the wall.

With the specifications of this cave, it can be used as a top-level prison, and it is even more stable than the prisons in big cities.

If these alien beings were locked up here, they would be helpless.

However, perhaps because the ventilation in the cave is well designed, or perhaps for some other reason, the air inside is very fresh and not damp or turbid at all.

Lin Xi was still a little nervous, after all, the two 'grandfathers' in front were demons, and they were at the fifth level super king level.

They could lose control at any moment and eat her up.

These monsters have eaten Zhou Yunxi.

In their eyes, the dead Zhou Yunxi was just a piece of meat, not their granddaughter. This shows what their mental state is like.

"Our Zhou family has two heirlooms. One of them is called the 'Blood Refining Mirror'. It is a fifth-level super-emperor magical weapon and the origin of our Zhou family."

Zhou An led Lin Xi to the first room, unlocking the heavy door as he spoke. "Although this weapon is of low rank, it has great uses! It can be used to illuminate oneself, helping people condense and refine their bloodline strength. It can also disrupt other people's bloodlines during battle, greatly weakening the enemy's combat effectiveness."

But you should avoid using it in battle. The most important function of the 'Blood Refining Mirror' is to condense blood. The reason why our Zhou family rose to prominence as a merchant, and why we have three Jinshi scholars in four generations, is all due to this item."

He had already opened the room. In this small room, about two meters wide and long, there was only a mahogany shelf.

On top of the mahogany frame is a precious mirror about the size of three adult palms, dark gold in color, with a large number of blood-colored patterns engraved around it.

Lin Xi's pupils narrowed slightly, thinking that the Zhou family actually had such a magical object?
Helping people condense their bloodline strength is equivalent to the effect of a foreign bloodline strengthening injection? It can also be used unlimited times.

No wonder the Zhou family was able to rise so quickly, with three of their four generations becoming Jinshi.

Although this item is only at the fifth level, its value definitely exceeds that of the seventh level super-emperor magic weapon!
It is right not to use it in battle. Who would be willing to use such a treasure in battle?
At this time, Wang's eyes were cold and she snorted softly: "You are sitting on a treasure, but you are in danger. Husband, you are a waste!"

Zhou An did not refute. He looked at the mirror with regret and helplessness in his eyes.

The Zhou family has such a treasure in hand, but Zhou An's cultivation has only reached the late fourth realm. In the end, he has to rely on this magic mirror. He really feels ashamed of his ancestors!

This is because his spiritual talent is too poor and his willpower is too weak to bear the pain of condensing his bloodline. Otherwise, why would the Zhou family have fallen into this situation?

Zhou An walked to the wooden rack, took out a dark red bag made of strange material from his sleeve, and put the magic mirror into it.

"This is the foundation of my Zhou family. From now on, you must carry this with you and keep it with you wherever you go!"

Strangely enough, the 'Blood Refining Mirror' originally had very strong fluctuations of vital energy, but when Zhou An put the mirror into the bag, no more ether elements were emitted.

"Next is our Zhou family's second inherited artifact."

Zhou An took the lead again, bringing Lin Xi to the door of the second room. His eyes became more complicated. "This is something that my family has placed great hopes on for generations. We hoped to rely on it to build a long-lasting family. But now, its value is not great and it can't be used. What to do with it in the future is up to you. It's up to you—"

Lin Xi's eyes were full of confusion and curiosity.

It wasn't until Zhou An opened the complicated door lock and pushed open the door that Lin Xi's pupils suddenly widened slightly: "Is this, Zhan Long?"

She thought there was a small room behind the door, but when the door opened, Lin Xi saw a huge red "war dragon" head inside.

"This is me, the battle dragon inherited from our family, the 'Dancing Heart Indestructible Dragon'."

As Zhou An walked in, he explained with difficulty, "We have nurtured it with our heart and soul for three generations, hoping to make it a being like the 'National Guardian Dragon', protecting our clan from extinction. Unfortunately, unfortunately—"

Behind the door was a small stone platform with three sides facing the sky. Zhou An walked to the edge of the platform and looked down. "Rang'er is almost there. This immortal dragon with a heart of redemption already has the blood of a super emperor. It is only a hair's breadth away from being promoted to the eighth realm. After Rang'er's death, it can even travel hundreds of thousands of miles on its own, fight its way through the siege, and return to Wangcheng from Luojing on its own."

Zhou Rang was the name of his eldest son. Before he was sentenced to death by the emperor, he served as a fourth-rank imperial censor in the court.

Lin Xi also walked to the edge of the stone platform and looked down.

Inside is a grand underground warehouse, which is ten zhang long and wide. Below is a sunken space that is seven zhang deep. Together with the three zhang space above the stone platform, the total height is ten zhang.

The seven-zhang-tall war dragon sat slumped on a rough-shaped stone chair, its head just level with the stone platform.

There is also a tunnel next to it, about six and a half meters high and three meters wide. It is unknown where it leads to, but the size of this tunnel is just right for the war dragon to pass through.

However, the "dragon" in Lin Xi's vision, which was completely red with dark gold edges, was already in a state of death.

Its body was also incomplete, with only one hand and one foot. Its heart and most of its internal organs had been dug out, and there was a hole between its eyebrows.

For 'War Dragon', the injury was very serious, but not fatal.

But now, there is indeed no trace of life on the surface of this 'Dragon with an Indestructible Heart'.

"It could have survived, but there's no one in our Zhou family who can be its master anymore. No one can provide it with the life essence it needs, even just a tiny bit of it to keep it alive."

Zhou An gave a stiff, wry smile, also with a hint of self-mockery: "Three generations of hard work, destroyed in an instant."

Lin Xi frowned upon hearing this: "It's still alive, just in a deep sleep."

She seemed to see a glimmer of light in the war dragon's open blue eyes.

This dragon clearly still has consciousness and responds to changes in the external world.

Lin Xi's eyes were filled with surprise. She had heard that the people of Tianji had been worshipping the same war dragon for generations.

The advantage is that one doesn't have to go through the dragon molting and dragon transformation stages, which are extremely dangerous. A single mistake could lead to death due to blood and flesh distortion. Even if one survives, they'll transform into something like a demon dragon. The demon dragon in Wangcheng County was likely the product of a failed dragon transformation.

On Tianji Star, not every monster is qualified to be called a "dragon". Among the monsters in the same realm, the dragon has extremely strong vitality and strength.

The disadvantage of inheriting the same war dragon for several generations is that the war dragon will be mentally polluted, its combat effectiveness will continue to decline, and the upper limit of martial arts cultivation will be locked.

However, the 'Dragon of Indestructible Loyalty' in front of Lin Xi was obviously different. It was unknown what method the Zhou family had used to make the spiritual will of this war dragon highly pure.

——This can be seen from the color of the war dragon.

War dragons of pure color are of the highest quality, and if they are inlaid with gold, dark gold, and purple gold metal patterns, their grade will be even higher.

Lin Xi suddenly thought of the Zhou family's reputation of "three generations of loyalty", and he realized something.

"Alive?"

Zhou An was stunned when he heard this, then he regained his composure: "There's nothing we can do. We can't save it."

Carrying a war dragon not only consumes a lot of energy and blood, but also oppresses the human soul, causing it to decay and die.

Especially this 'Dragon of the Indestructible Heart', whose rank is as high as the Seventh Realm Super Emperor. Even a martial artist of the Fifth Realm cannot afford it. They will either be drained by it and die of lifespan exhaustion, or die of soul exhaustion.

What's more, this dragon is instinctively craving for blood nourishment and is eager to recover.

Zhou An then placed the key in Lin Xi's hand. "You have the Blood Refining Mirror. If you can survive, you can transform into a war dragon yourself. You can deal with this 'Danxin Immortal Dragon' yourself. Don't let it fall into the hands of the Burning Blade Sect. The Burning Blade Sect wants its dragon essence. Danxin Immortal Dragon has been with our family for 200 years. We must let it have a good end."

Lin Xi understood what Zhou An meant.

The Zhou family has been supporting the 'Dragon of Undying Loyalty' for generations, which is actually a self-sacrifice. They want to raise the 'Dragon of Undying Loyalty' into a powerful and spiritual being like the national guardian dragon.

However, for her personally, it would be more cost-effective to awaken on her own, as she would have higher potential, and she wouldn't have to fight to the death with this 'Dragon of Undying Loyalty' like several Zhou family elders did.

After all, even if this dragon is rescued, its power will be reduced to the sixth realm and will be worthless.

but--

Lin Xi suddenly clenched his fists to hide the strange look in his eyes.

For ordinary people, giving up this war dragon is the best choice, but she is different.

She already has a war dragon, so she can't transform into another one.

As for the burden—

Lin Xi looked at his hands, staring at the blue veins emerging on his fair skin.

As someone who possesses the Source Essence, she should be able to withstand it, right?
This is just a super-emperor war dragon that has been demoted to the sixth realm. Compared with his own, it is nothing - that is the truly deadly existence.

As his cultivation improves, Lin Xi has recently unlocked more and more memories.

She knew that she had returned to the path of martial arts cultivation, and since she would die in the next few years anyway, it didn't matter if she had to bear the loss of the war dragon's lifespan for more than ten days.

On the contrary, after owning this dragon, he can better find out the truth about his brother's 'death', or protect his brother so that he can go higher and further until he has the ability to protect himself.

Lin Xi suddenly ran down the stone steps next to him and came to the front of the "Dragon with an Indestructible Heart".

"Xi'er!" Zhou An didn't understand what Lin Xi wanted to do at first, until he saw Lin Xi suddenly use his fingertips to forcibly cut open the wrist vein and splash his blood on the immortal dragon.

The blood was instantly absorbed by the body of the Danxin Immortal Dragon and disappeared without a trace.

Zhou An frowned, then regained his composure.

Lin Xi's actions were reckless, but there was nothing to worry about.

It is not an easy task to sacrifice and refine a war dragon left by the predecessors. It requires at least several months of perseverance.

The Zhou family's inheritance of 'The Indestructible Dragon' requires a whole set of secret techniques to cooperate with.

This little bit of Lin Xi's blood was simply not enough to awaken the consciousness of the 'Dragon of Loyalty and Immortality'.

"Let's go!" Wang turned around, holding the lantern. "Let's go to the next room."

Although the Zhou family only has two inherited artifacts, there are some other treasures stored at home.

Although their family only became an official family four generations ago, they had already gone through seven generations of business before that and had accumulated considerable wealth.

Lin Xi looked up at the huge war dragon, then obediently walked behind the two elders of the Zhou family and followed them out of the room.

She has already got the key and can come over anytime in the future, there is no rush.

Shortly after the door slammed shut, a hint of azure light began to condense in the pupils of the 'Dancing Heart Indestructible Dragon' who was slumped on the stone chair.

It uttered a low groan, its eyes abrupt and surprised.

If its three dead masters were to be resurrected at this moment, they would be able to clearly hear the meaning of its low humming.

"Abyssal Essence——"
