Junior sister, I really need to control you

Although I've lost all my scales, as long as I can devour this person and retrieve the dragon pearl, the scales will grow back sooner or later.

A mere weak human cultivator, relying only on the power of his magic weapon. Without its protection, let's see what he can do...

In the blink of an eye, it had already rushed in front of Li Yinsheng, opening its huge mouth, even one of its teeth was bigger than Li Yinsheng's entire body.

Then it saw Li Yinsheng sigh, raise his fist, and seem to be saying something, without any panic on his face.

Why isn't this human afraid? What is he saying?

Immediately, it felt as if it had crashed into an invisible giant hammer, and everything went black before its eyes, and it lost consciousness.

But before its last shred of consciousness faded away, it still managed to hear Li Yinsheng's words.

"Hey, how did you manage to shed your skin like a cicada?"

"Can't you just let me be a proper sword cultivator for once?"

Chapter 136 Re-entering the Magic Cave

On a desolate mountain outside the capital of the Great Yong Dynasty.

Blood rained down from the sky, and amidst the blood rain, the enormous body of the dragon crashed down, falling heavily into the mountains.

Li Yinsheng hovered in the air, looking down at the dragon on the ground that was still panting despite being unconscious and bleeding from its mouth and nose. He couldn't help but marvel at how extraordinary the dragon truly was.

He didn't exactly go all out with that punch, but he didn't hold back much either.

Even though the dragon lost its pearl and scales, it only fell into a coma and didn't even lose its teeth, which shows how strong its physical body is.

But beyond the感慨 (feelings of deep emotion), he felt mostly happy—

This dragon has a powerful physical body, which means that it is full of treasures.

For example, the scales that were scraped off by the Taibai Sword.

Although the scales seemed as flimsy as paper in front of the Taibai Sword, they did not demonstrate much superior defensive capabilities.

But this is entirely because the Taibai Sword itself is too sharp.

Even in the eyes of the Imperial Master, the Taibai Sword is an extremely powerful flying sword, it just needs to be refined.

If it were any other powerful demon, the price of breaking free from the sword net formed by the Taibai Sword would be far more than just being mangled and bloodied.

Most of them will be cut into countless neat pieces.

Li Yinsheng was able to properly wield the Taibai Sword only by cultivating the Sixfold Expansion of Withering and Flourishing, a lineage of immortals known for its profound magical power.

I wonder what kind of power the Taibai Sword will possess after it has been refined in the magic cave for another one or two hundred years.

He waved his hand, and all the dragon scales scraped off by the Taibai Sword were collected and put into the Qiankun Bag.

These dragon scales are of little use to him, who has already mastered body tempering, but they are perfect for crafting a set of protective armor for his junior sister.

He then tapped the spirit insect cage at his waist, and a large swarm of Crimson Yao mosquitoes flew out like a red cloud.

After a period of cultivation, the number of Red Yao mosquitoes has reached over a thousand, and this dragon blood can be used to further cultivate the Red Yao mosquitoes.

The Crimson Mosquitoes, released by him, all rushed towards the dragon below.

Although the dragon is enormous, its blood alone is enough to fill a small pond, but it's just a drop in the ocean for thousands of mosquitoes to feed on.

However, the Red Yao mosquito extracts the essence of blood when it sucks blood. Although it may seem like it doesn't suck much, it is all its essence and blood.

In a short while, the already weakened aura of the dragon dropped by more than half.

Fearing that the dragon would be sucked to death on the spot, Li Yinsheng summoned back the Crimson Yao Mosquitoes.

The human head... the dragon's head should still be reserved for my junior sister.

Although Nianci and the other two below were somewhat surprised that Li Yinsheng released the Crimson Mosquito, they did not think there was anything wrong with it.

The unorthodox path and the demonic path are very different. Although it is not common for righteous cultivators to practice some unorthodox methods, it is not a big deal.

Compared to the Crimson Mosquito, they were even more surprised that Li Yinsheng had just punched the dragon down.

Fellow Daoist Li, aren't you a sword cultivator who also cultivates array formations? Why did that last move look like it was from a body cultivator?

As Nianci watched Li Yinsheng land, she couldn't help but ask, "Fellow Daoist Li, that punch of yours..."

“I have also studied some body-refining techniques,” Li Yinsheng interrupted, “but I am primarily a sword cultivator, so please don’t get confused, Fellow Daoist Nianci.”

“Oh, I see…” Nianci nodded blankly.

Li Yinsheng didn't want to dwell on this topic any longer, so he beckoned to Mu Xiaoyu: "Junior Sister!"

While he was fighting, Mu Xiaoyu had already destroyed the last Blood Refining Demon Banner. When she heard her senior brother calling her, she quickly ran over.

"Senior brother!" She ran up to Li Yinsheng, looked up at him with admiration, and exclaimed, "Senior brother is so amazing!"

"Junior sister, that dragon is not dead yet. Do you want to experience what it's like to slay a dragon?" Li Yinsheng said with a smile, rubbing her head.

Mu Xiaoyu's eyes lit up, and she nodded repeatedly.

Under her senior brother's guidance, she wielded the Cold Bright Sword and unleashed the Mysterious Fiend Sword Technique.

Sixty-four sword lights intertwined to form a ferocious python, heading straight for the dragon's neck.

The place Li Yinsheng pointed to was the location of the dragon's reverse scale.

The reverse scale is already a vulnerable spot, and with the scales scraped off, it is completely unprotected. When the giant python bumps into it, it opens its mouth to bite and burrows in.

Under the onslaught of excruciating pain, the unconscious dragon opened its eyes again and let out a sharp roar.

However, having lost the Flood Dragon Pearl, been severely injured, and had most of its essence and blood drained, it was truly difficult to put up any effective resistance.

As the giant python formed from the Fiendish Sword completely disappeared into the Reverse Scale, the brilliance in the dragon's vertical pupils quickly faded, and its aura vanished.

Li Yinsheng glanced at the gold lettering.

[Current cultivation time: 132 years]

Originally it was forty-eight years, but with the fifty-four years of destroying all the Blood Refining Demon Banners, it should have been one hundred and two years.

Therefore, the person who takes the head of this dragon will only receive a reward of thirty years.

Li Yinsheng frowned slightly.

It seems that simply collecting kills doesn't yield very generous rewards.

However, the blood flag has been destroyed, the dragon is dead, and this tribulation of cultivation is not yet over...

A thought struck him, and he began to carefully probe and scan the dragon's body with his divine sense.

Sure enough, when he scanned the dragon's belly with his divine sense, he could feel an extremely faint life force, but it did not originate from the same source as the dragon.

A white light flashed, the dragon's belly burst open, and a giant blood-red egg, two or three feet in size, flew out.

The purity of the energy within it startled Li Yinsheng.

"Could this be the blood egg of the Holy Son of the Bloodscale Demon Clan?" Nianci exclaimed in surprise. "The aura is so... pure?"

Li Yinsheng was equally surprised: "Is this blood egg really from a demon? There is no demonic energy in it, not even any impurities. It is even purer than many rare and precious materials."

After a moment of thought, Nianci suddenly realized, "It's probably because of the Bloodscale Demon Clan's method of reproduction."

"They are meant to reproduce by using the offspring of other demons, so when they are still blood eggs, the purer they are, the better, so that they can perfectly integrate with the bodies they take over."

Li Yinsheng's eyes lit up.

In that case, wouldn't the Holy Son's blood egg be perfect for my junior sister to nourish herself?

Moreover, he surmised that the current tribulation of cultivation was not yet over, likely because the Holy Son was still alive. If that's the case…

"Junior sister, would you like to try this egg?" Li Yinsheng asked Mu Xiaoyu.

Looking at the giant egg in front of her, which was several times larger than a watermelon and required both hands to hug, Mu Xiaoyu nodded repeatedly.

"Then use the Three Yang Spiritual Fire to slowly roast it until it's cooked through, but remember not to burn it," Li Yinsheng said, rubbing his junior sister's head.

Mu Xiaoyu's eyes sparkled, and she quickly used her object manipulation technique to lift the giant egg up, then opened her mouth and spat out a ball of Three Yang Spiritual Fire to envelop it.

Feeling the intense heat rushing towards her, Nianci felt somewhat numb.

Although such a powerful flame is not something a cultivator of Mu Xiaoyu's age should normally be able to control.

But after Li Yinsheng's rapid passage through the dragon, she felt that her ability to accept things had improved a lot.

Mu Xiaoyu didn't notice the surprise of Nianci and the other two; she was focused on roasting the blood eggs.

Fortunately, she had some seasonings in her storage bag, which she could use to dip the grilled food in minced garlic soy sauce, vinegar, and chili sauce.

She missed the best way to eat crane eggs last time, so she won't make the same mistake this time!

While his junior sister barbecued the Holy Son, Li Yinsheng summoned the Crimson Mosquito and the Taibai Sword.

After the Crimson Mosquito absorbed the remaining essence and blood, a white light swirled around the dragon, and it decomposed the dragon after a short while.

It has a huge spine, a tendon running through its entire body, and a pair of unseeing vertical pupils.

Li Yinsheng nodded slightly. These three materials were no less valuable than the dragon scales, and were extremely valuable for both weapon crafting and alchemy.

In addition, the Taibai Sword also unearthed a round bead that was entirely blood red, about the same size as the Jiao Pearl, but with an eerie aura.

According to Nianci, it should be the blood core of the Bloodscale Demon Clan itself.

All Bloodscale Demons are like this; in addition to the demon core they are supposed to have, they also have a blood core.

However, the Blood Pill itself is not very useful, as its nature is too filthy and unclean, and it has great side effects whether used for refining weapons or alchemy.

Fortunately, he had gained a lot in other areas, so Li Yinsheng didn't care about the useless Blood Pill.

In addition, there were some other things left on the dragon's body. Although they were all of some value, they were far less useful than the dragon's spine, tendons, and eyes. So he gave them to Nianci and the other two.

After the three of them took what they wanted, the remaining remains of the dragon were left for the Golden Sword Sect and Changchunzi.

The value of this dragon's remains lies precisely in the fact that it is extremely precious to independent cultivators, but not to the point of being a crime to possess such a treasure.

He wouldn't stay in the mortal world for long, and he couldn't possibly take the Golden Sword Sect and Changchunzi back to their sect. If he rashly gave them something of too high value, it would easily bring trouble.

Of course, besides the remains of the dragon, he also had other things that he didn't have to worry about being taken away, which he could give to the Golden Sword Sect and Changchunzi.

For example, the cycle of life and death.

Although the essence of life and death had already been used to help the Golden Sword Sect's patriarch extend his lifespan, but...

He looked at the junior sister who was grilling the Holy Son.
