Chapter 488: Chapter 488: Dragon Blood Pool

Upon hearing this, the trio was taken aback. Even the typically composed as an iceberg Han Xiaoxing flashed a look of surprise in her eyes.

A true dragon scale was sealed within this stone statue? Its value then would be unimaginable.

What kind of existence is a true dragon? Perhaps everyone could tell you that it is a supremely powerful creature, an existence akin to a deity.

But how many truly understand true dragons?

Probably none.

That’s because true dragons are too powerful, too mysterious. Long before countless years ago, no one had seen a true dragon. It often existed only in legends and myths.

Legends and myths couldn’t let people understand true dragons much. Everyone knew that true dragons were powerful, but how powerful exactly?

Fang Lin might be the person with the most authority to speak on this matter in this era.

Because Fang Lin had seen a real dragon.

In his past life, during the battle that truly confirmed the title of Martial Lord for his father, Fang Qingye, he fought and killed a true dragon.

At the time, Fang Lin was only a six-year-old child, but he personally witnessed his father’s battle with the true dragon.

That battle left a deep impression on Fang Lin. Countless mountains shattered. An entire land was destroyed in an instant. Even the stars in the sky were knocked down.

Finally, Fang Qingye forcefully punctured the heart of the true dragon, obliterated its dragon soul, bathed himself in dragon blood, and used the dragon bone to make a bow, and the dragon’s tendons for the string, creating a divine bow.

The last Martial Lord Hou Yi from ancient times held the Dragon Bone Bow and shot down the nine suns in the sky, saving all living beings of the earth and sky.

The Dragon Bone Bow used by Martial Lord Hou Yi was made by Fang Qingye. It proved that there was a connection between Hou Yi and Fang Qingye. However, how the Dragon Bone Bow fell into Hou Yi’s hands is hard to find the answer.

The scales of the true dragon could be regarded as one of the most robust things between heaven and earth. They were impervious to water and fire, and even divine weapons could hardly leave marks on the dragon scale.

A piece of dragon scale had the weight equivalent to a mountain, and it bore the aura and majesty of a true dragon. Wearing it would command respect from all creatures.

However, even in the era of Fang Lin’s previous life, true dragons were very rarely seen. Apart from the one that Fang Qingye killed, there were no reports of the appearance of true dragons.

Unbelievably, there was a dragon scale inside this stone statue. And judging from the pressure emanating from the stone statue, this dragon scale should come from a true dragon, not some flood dragon or fake dragon.

“Can this dragon scale be taken out?” Fang Lin asked in astonishment.

Han Luoyun was slightly startled and looked at Fang Lin with a peculiar expression.

Yang Xuanfeng and Han Xiaoxing both looked at him. Yang Xuanfeng wore a bitter smile, while Han Xiaoxing looked disdainful.

“This statue was personally carved by a powerful expert, and the dragon scale was sealed in it by that expert. If we disturb this statue, the consequences would be unimaginable,” Han Luoyun said teasingly.

Fang Lin retracted his neck. He really wanted to dig out the dragon scale in the statue. This was a dragon scale! It was a waste to leave it here. If he could get it, it would be an enormous windfall.

Unfortunately, it was impossible to move this statue. No wonder it had always stood in front of the stone cave. Probably, in the past, some people had thought about it, but it seemed like those who tried didn’t end well.

“Come on in.” Han Luoyun led the way, followed by Yang Xuanfeng and Han Xiaoxing. Fang Lin looked at the stone statue longingly and reluctantly entered the stone cave, looking back every three steps.

Following a passage, a surge of energy came. Everyone could feel the heat, as if this place wasn’t a Dragon Blood Pool, but a volcano.

Fang Lin’s expression immediately changed, and Yang Xuanfeng and Han Xiaoxing’s faces showed some eagerness.

The deeper they went, the stronger this energy became. Even a deep breath filled a person with vitality. It felt as if there was endless strength throughout the body.

“It seems that this Dragon Blood Pool is indeed not simple. The place is permeated with dragon qi. No wonder the number of people allowed to enter is limited. If too many people were allowed, there wouldn’t be enough dragon qi,” Fang Lin muttered to himself.

They turned a corner, and a majestic stone cave appeared in front of them. Strange rocks were crowded above. Although sunlight was not visible, golden light poured down, making the stone cave bright as day, without any sense of darkness.

In the center of the stone cave, there was a golden pool. At each corner of the pool stood an ancient lamp, all shaped like true dragons, emitting a soft glow from their mouths.

In the pool, there was a golden liquid, dazzling to the eye. Waves of dragon qi emanated from the golden water.

Fang Lin secretly marveled. This was indeed a Dragon Blood Pool. The fresh blood of a true dragon was golden and contained endless power and fortune.

The pool couldn’t possibly be entirely dragon blood. It was apparent that originally, this was a spiritual spring containing nature’s spiritual energy. But after one or two drops of true dragon blood fell into it, the spring turned golden.

Not only did it possess nature’s spiritual energy, it also had the essence of dragon blood in the water. Those who practiced in this Dragon Blood Pool would generally soar in their cultivation.

Han Luoyun, for example, had practiced here in the past.

However, with each use, the effect of the Dragon Blood Pool was greatly weakened. Perhaps in a few decades, the effectiveness of the Dragon Blood Pool would be minimal.

After all, there were only a couple of drops of true dragon blood in the pool. There would come a day when it would be used up. If the pool were filled with true dragon blood, even after ten thousand years, it wouldn’t dry up.

“Go in. Practice here for two months, then we’ll leave,” said Han Luoyun.

Both Yang Xuanfeng and Fang Lin looked at Han Xiaoxing with peculiar expressions.

After all, they were two grown men, and Han Xiaoxing was a young lady. Practicing in one pool seemed a bit improper.

However, Han Xiaoxing didn’t spare the two men a glance. She jumped up decisively and directly fell into the Dragon Blood Pool.

Casting a golden spray, Yang Xuanfeng and Fang Lin were taken aback. Was Han Xiaoxing too fierce? Did she consider that they didn’t exist?

However, the next moment, both of them were dumbfounded. A golden light curtain enveloped Han Xiaoxing, making it impossible to see anything.

Immediately, the two men didn’t hesitate and jumped into the Dragon Blood Pool. Like Han Xiaoxing, a golden light descended from above and enveloped them.

Han Luoyun saw that the three people had entered the Dragon Blood Pool, so she walked out of the stone cave. But she didn’t leave. She stayed outside the cave to guard the safety of the three.

Of course, Han Luoyun would also take advantage of the dragon qi in this place to practice. Although at her current level, such diluted dragon qi didn’t help much, it was better than nothing. After all, dragon qi was rare.

Fang Lin sat cross-legged in the Dragon Blood Pool, the water up to his chest. It was warm, and an overwhelming aura penetrated into his body.

“Let me try again. The opportunity is hard to come by. Can I open that door this time?” Fang Lin wondered inwardly.
