Chapter 28: The Jade-Scaled Poison Dragon and Acquiring Spirit Rings
In the original novel, Tang San's fourth spirit ring was ten thousand years old.
However, it was only after the Yin-Yang Eyes of Ice and Fire sapped most of the ring's energy that Tang San managed to absorb it.
Compared to Tang San now, his physical fitness was far superior, so absorbing the ten thousand year spirit ring wouldn't be a problem.
However, he wasn't sure he could withstand the mental shock of the ten thousand year spirit ring.
After all, in addition to consuming the "Wang Chuan Qiu Shui Dew," Tang San had also been practicing the "Purple Demon Eye."
Lost in thought, he was startled by the sound of a branch breaking underfoot. Turning to look, he saw Dugu Bo approaching him with Dugu Yan.
Dugu Yan's eyes were red and swollen, but thankfully, she was calm.
Liu Yanyang stood up, and Dugu Bo nodded. He instantly understood that Dugu Yan had come to terms with things. He pulled out several bottles of elixirs from his spirit guide storage device, handed them to Dugu Bo, and spoke.
"Old Poison Man, these are the detoxification pills. A three-month course of treatment will temporarily protect you from the torment of the snake venom."
"Thank you, little monster," Dugu Bo said gratefully, accepting the bottle.
Liu Yanyang then pulled out a slightly larger detoxification pill from his spirit guide and handed it to Dugu Yan.
"Thank you!" Dugu Yan said softly, accepting the pill.
Then, she sat cross-legged on the ground, swallowed the detoxification pill, and began to cultivate her spirit power.
After a while, Dugu Yan slowly opened her eyes. The impurities that had accumulated in her pupils had disappeared, leaving them as bright green.
"Yanyan, how are you feeling?" Dugu Bo asked anxiously.
Dugu Yan stretched her limbs slightly and whispered softly. "Grandpa, I feel fine?"
Dugu Bo's eyes flushed as he nodded repeatedly, muttering, "Good, good, good..."
The curse of the Dugu lineage had finally ended with his granddaughter's generation!
"Regulate your breathing and prepare to absorb the immortal product." Liu Yanyang handed the ninth-grade dragon essence to Dugu Yan.
Nodding, Dugu Yan took the Ninth-Grade Dragon Zhi, then sat cross-legged, restoring herself to peak condition and swallowing it without hesitation.
"Hiss..." A large, dark green snake emerged from behind Dugu Yan.
It had begun, the drug's effects taking effect. Both men fixed their gazes on Dugu Yan.
Soon, the Jade-Scaled Snake's dark green skin began to dull and age, gradually aging until it became a slender slough.
With a crackling sound, the slough ruptured, revealing a slender, dragon-like creature with four limbs on its abdomen, claws shaped into four fingers, and fins between its fingers.
Its back was lined with neatly arranged spikes, also connected to emerald green fins.
A massive, razor-sharp horn protruded from behind its emerald green pupils. A massive, spear-like horn, its tip gleaming with gold, pierced the eye.
Its emerald green scales were diamond-shaped, resembling inlaid pieces of jade, encircling its body, interspersed with red.
"It has transformed into a dragon... The long dragon claws on its abdomen, I think its attack power should be good, and the hard and thick scales must have strong defense." Liu Yanyang was moved.
Dugu Bo could not hide his excitement, and observed the evolved spirit closely, his eyes full of obsession.
After a while, Dugu Yan slowly opened her eyes, and Dugu Bo immediately helped her up and started circling around Dugu Yan.
Finally, he gave her a big bear hug and said with a smile, "My Yanyan is beautiful again, how do you feel?"
Dugu Yan also said excitedly, "Grandpa, I feel full of strength, very comfortable, and my physical body has been greatly strengthened."
After putting Dugu Yan down, the three looked at the shrunken spirit in her hand, and Dugu Yan asked curiously.
"Why are there red stripes on the dragon scales?"
Liu Yanyang said calmly, "Because the ninth-grade dragon mushroom you took has a fire attribute."
"The horn that evolved from your spirit should be used to store toxins and your life-defining poison."
Dugu Yan nodded and replied, "Yes, I can sense the venom of the Jade-Scaled Snake; it's in that horn."
"Then just call it the Jade-Scaled Unicorn Dragon!" Dugu Bo laughed.
Liu Yanyang looked at Dugu Bo speechlessly. "Let's call it the Jade-Scaled Poisonous Dragon!"
Dugu Yan nodded, agreeing with the name and immediately spoke up.
"That's a good name. Besides, my spirit power has reached level 40."
"That's perfect. Rest up tonight. Tomorrow I'll take you two to acquire spirit rings. Whichever spirit beast you fancy in Sunset Forest, I'll bring it to you," Dugu Bo laughed.
"Old Poisonous Creature, are there any true dragon spirit beasts in Sunset Forest?"
"Cough cough cough..." Dugu Bo choked and coughed, looking at Liu Yanyang angrily.
"Little monster, you are making fun of me. Let alone the Sunset Forest, I haven't even seen the Star Dou Great Forest in all these years."
Liu Yanyang said speechlessly, "Didn't you say that you would catch any spirit beast you like?"
"There are no real dragons, but there must be top-level sub-dragon spirit beasts."
Dugu Bo hesitated, "This...this one I really don't have. There is a green water dragon, but it's a pity that it has poisonous attributes and is only 6,000 years old. For a little monster, it's a bit poor."
Liu Yanyang looked at Dugu Yan and said, "It seems to be suitable for Dugu Yan. After absorbing the ninth-grade dragon fungus, her physical fitness will be enhanced, and the age of the absorbed spirit rings will also increase."
"Really?" Dugu Bo said excitedly. He didn't expect the magic grass to be so effective. Not only did it evolve his family Yanyan's spirit, but it also increased her spirit power by four levels. Now she can even absorb spirit rings above her level.
Dugu Bo waved his hand, "Rest first. Tomorrow, take Yanyan to hunt for the Azure Water Dragon's spirit ring. Then, take the little monster to the Star Dou Great Forest to slowly search for the spirit ring you need."
Liu Yanyang and Dugu Yan nodded simultaneously, and each returned to their cave to rest. Dugu Bo stood alone, gazing up at the starry sky, a silly grin breaking from his lips.
The next morning...
After a quick wash and breakfast, Liu Yanyang and Dugu Yan were each carried by Dugu Bo, one hand each, and flown into the sky, heading deep into the forest.
In less than a quarter of an hour, the three of them landed at a cold pond. Dugu Bo flexed his wrist and dove directly into the pool.
The water rippled instantly, rolling into waves. A roar echoed from the bottom, and the entire surface began to boil, with occasional explosions echoing.
A moment later, a 30-meter-long azure dragon soared from the water and slammed heavily onto the ground.
Not a single scale remained intact on its body, and strands of green lingered through its flesh.
Dugu Bo flew out of the water and clapped his hands. "Yanyan, go absorb the spirit ring!"
Dugu Yan nodded, walked over to the Azure Water Dragon, and plunged the dagger directly into its eye.
In the blink of an eye, a deep purple spirit ring emerged. Dugu Yan hurriedly sat cross-legged and absorbed the spirit ring.
The whole process was relatively uneventful, without any changes caused by the age limit. Dugu Bo smiled with relief.
An hour later, Dugu Yan stood up and checked her spirit power. It was level 42.
Suddenly, a piercing cry echoed throughout the sky.
The three of them looked at each other, and Dugu Bo was the first to say, "It should be some kind of top-level flying spirit beast. Follow me closely and let's go take a look."
