One Dao Fruit a day, starting with the Dragon Taming Technique.

Two dark figures stood at the alley entrance, looking at Xu Guang's wine shop and then at the stone that had fallen out of it with a puzzled expression.

"What happened?"

"It looks like someone's there."

Suddenly, someone pointed to Xu Guang, who was not far away.

"Xiao Guang?"

Xu Guang squinted at the two people standing outside.

Somewhat unexpectedly, I thought it would be one of Zhang Hu's thugs, but it turned out to be these two people.

This is Niu Fu and his wife, who sell steamed buns on this street and live next to the liquor store.

"Xiao Guang, aren't you asleep so late?"

Xu Guang's eyes were brooding, one hand resting on the hilt of his sword. "Uncle Fu, do you know what crime it is to follow a spy?"

Niu Fu's expression changed drastically. "No, we weren't following you. We just watch the shop for someone. We get ten copper coins a day without sleeping. It was your Aunt Cuihua who heard the commotion and that's why I came out to check."

Xu Guang suddenly realized.

"Zhang Hu gave you money?"

"Yes, yes, Xiao Guang, are you missing your dad late at night? Old Xu is a good man..."

Xu Guang didn't say anything more, and took out a handful of copper coins from his pocket.

"Uncle Fu, I'm planning to take back this shop in a few days. Today I'm just going to see how much usable stuff is left inside. Don't tell Zhang Hu, I'll use that pile of junk inside to bargain down the price. He even broke my dad's precious wine jars."

Niu Fu was also somewhat angry upon hearing this.

"What kind of person is he! He doesn't do business and even smashes wine jars. He's a real scoundrel. Don't worry, Xiao Guang, I won't tell him that you came here tonight. You can bargain him down to the bone later."

Xu Guang forcefully stuffed the copper coins in his hand into his, saying, "Uncle Fu, you have to keep this money. You'll be helping me watch the shop, so I can't let you work for nothing."

After some pushing and shoving, Xu Guang managed to shake off the two men. He circled around the area a few more times to make sure no one was following him before finally going home.

I didn't go into the room that was filled with a fishy, ​​foul smell.

Xu Guang sat at the stone table in the courtyard, looking at the small blue bottle in front of him.

What exactly is inside this little blue bottle?

Was that the cause of my father's death?

I was hesitating whether to open it and take a look.

A timid voice suddenly came from behind.

"My benefactor, is this a demon-dispelling powder?"

Xu Guang was taken aback and turned to look at Wu Yunmiao, who had poked her head out.

"Do you recognize this?"

Wu Yunmiao nodded, then shook her head. "It looks like Demon Transformation Powder, but I'm not sure."

Seeing that Xu Guang seemed not to recognize him at all, he explained, "After the appearance of demons, many people in the Central Plains explored the true reason for their appearance. Some powerful people went deep into the mountains to observe the demons and eventually found some truths about the transformation of demons into monsters. They collected these truths and named them Demon Transformation Powder."

"Besides transforming into a demon, is it used for anything else?"

"It seems to be able to catalyze the precious medicine. When my father was an official in Boshan, he was ostracized by the governor. He had a good relationship with several senior Taoist masters at the time and once obtained some demon-dispelling powder. He used it to nourish flowers and made peonies, which take three years to bloom, bloom overnight."

Xu Guang seemed to be deep in thought.

Dad has a secret.

However, my father is already dead, and my second uncle committed suicide.

He delved into his father's past secrets, secrets that few people probably know.

Is Zhang Hu trying to kill his father and seize the shop because of this demon-transforming powder?

This Wu Yunmiao is much more useful than I imagined. As expected of the daughter of an official family, she knows a lot.

After telling Wu Yunmiao to go back to sleep, Xu Guang opened the small blue bottle, went to the flower bed behind the house, and carefully dripped a drop of water onto it.

We'll see tomorrow whether this is the Demon-Transforming Powder Wu Yunmiao was talking about.

As dawn broke, a crimson glow appeared at the foot of the eastern mountain, while the bright moon hung high overhead, resembling a round plate.

Xu Guang returned to his room and, strictly following the requirements of the Dragon Taming Technique, stood in the center of the five dragon vein monsters. He then raised his right hand, took out a small knife, and carefully cut a wound on his wrist. Blood dripped down his wrist and landed on the bull's head at the front.

Something vaguely connected to my wrist.

In this way, Xu Guang sprinkled the blood from his limbs and chest onto the five dragon vein demons respectively.

Xu Guang immediately sat down, propped himself up with both hands, one hand facing the bright moon and the other facing the rising sun.

He was muttering to himself.

"The earth bull has horns, and its strength can support mountains. I use the blood from my shins to call its soul back."

"Heaven and earth are the furnace, the sun and moon are the fuel. The five essences forge the spine, and the primordial energy transforms into scales."

As the incantation was continuously chanted, the radiance of the sun and moon shone through the windows on both sides, falling upon Xu Guang. In an instant, both sides of his body were enveloped by the radiance of the sun and moon, and strange energy surged within his body, forming strange forces.

Xu Guang was so engrossed in reciting the incantation for the Dragon Taming Technique that he had lost all awareness of the outside world.

After an unknown amount of time, a dragon's roar suddenly rose from within him. The sound was faint, like the first cry of a fledgling dragon, but as time passed, the dragon's roar gradually grew louder, and it resounded simultaneously in Xu Guang's chest and limbs.

Xu Guang awoke from his reverie, his heart heavy.

This is the most crucial step in mastering the Dragon Taming Technique: the resonance of the five meridians. After all, it is a fragmented true dragon, and it needs to completely integrate the five meridians it previously absorbed into its body, utilizing its own physical form.

Time passed second by second.

In Xu Guang's perceived world, time passed incredibly slowly, as if the sun and moon remained unchanged, and the mountains and rivers stood still.

At a certain moment, the chaotic dragon roars within Xu Guang's body disappeared, leaving only the dragon roar from his chest.

Become!

Xu Guang eagerly opened his eyes, sensing the changes within himself.

According to the description of the Dragon Taming Technique, once the first level is completed, one should randomly master a true dragon divine power. Upon careful perception, Xu Guang was immediately delighted.

It's a snake!

The abilities he was given were simple: superhuman perception and... the defense of snake scales.

With a soft murmur from Xu Guang, a dragon's roar came from his chest as if in response. Then, a strange stinging sensation arose on his skin, and scales appeared beneath his skin.

Dragon scales?

Without hesitation, Xu Guang picked up the small knife he had used to cut his wrist and swung it across his arm.

Ding!

I felt nothing at all.

He used considerable force; previously, even if the skin was unharmed, the muscles would still feel something.

But now…

Its defensive capabilities were even stronger than the armor he wore in the military camp.

In addition, there is perception. After activating the Dragon-Snake Transformation, Xu Guang can easily sense the movement of grass within three meters around him, and can even vaguely sense the slight breathing of a rat in the burrow on his left.

It's not auditory or visual, but something like... infrared perception? Or perhaps infrasound echo?

Xu Guang didn't quite understand.

Of course, the Dragon Taming Technique is not all benefits. Since it is called Dragon Taming, it requires paying the price of raising a dragon. Raising a dragon in one's body will greatly increase one's daily energy consumption and appetite. In addition, after activating the True Dragon Divine Power, the consumption of physical strength will increase dramatically.

Open the panel.

A single thought can be good or evil; good results cultivate character, while evil results hone one's skills.

Xu Guang raised his eyebrows slightly, and a smile unconsciously appeared on his lips.
