I love making trades. Zhang Bin was overjoyed. Dragon Vein Elder, what kind of trade do you want to make with ?
"The trade is simple. Every ti you co in to cultivate, you give one thousand Top-Grade Spirit Stones."
The Dragon Vein’s voice grew expectant and excited, as if it valued a thousand Top-Grade Spirit Stones a great deal.
It seems that by obtaining the vineyard and this Dragon Vein, I won’t be getting any Spirit Stones. Instead, I’ll have to pay out a fortune in them. Zhang Bin sighed to himself.
If he were an ordinary cultivator, he would have no way to trade with the Dragon Vein. Even the most powerful sect, Kunlun, probably couldn’t manage it. After all, there was no way for them to obtain Top-Grade Spirit Stones. Even a Nascent Soul Stage Cultivator delving into the Earth Core would be unlikely to find many. Such Spirit Stones seized the very creation of Heaven and Earth and devoured the essence of the sun and moon; they were far too rare.
Fortunately, he cultivated the Qingmu Longevity Technique, which could continuously produce Top-Grade Spirit Stones. This trade was indeed possible.
However, Zhang Bin put on a troubled expression and said, "Dragon Vein Elder, you know how rare Top-Grade Spirit Stones are. It is incredibly difficult for to obtain a thousand of them. This is a very difficult trade for to make."
"You carry so many Top-Grade Spirit Stones with you. Don’t be so modest. You must have a way to get many of them. I’m guessing you have very powerful elders, don’t you? Can they dive into the depths of the Earth Core? Is that how you got so many? You could find a way to ask your elders for more. Besides, once you beco powerful through cultivation, you can go find them in the Earth Core yourself. This trade isn’t that difficult for you," the Dragon Vein said.
"There are Top-Grade Spirit Stones in the Earth’s Core Realm? Could that be another Dragon Vein?" Zhang Bin asked.
"Stop playing dumb," said the Dragon Vein. "There are so Spirit Veins in the Earth Core, and Top-Grade Spirit Stones are found within them. As for Dragon Veins, there shouldn’t be any others. This planet should only have ."
"What’s the difference between a Spirit Vein and a Dragon Vein?" Zhang Bin asked, taken aback.
"A Spirit Vein is a naturally ford vein of Spirit Stones. It doesn’t expand rapidly and is lifeless, possessing at most a base instinct. It doesn’t know how to cultivate," the Dragon Vein explained. "However, after countless years, a Spirit Vein might evolve into a Dragon Vein, but the probability is almost negligible. A Dragon Vein, on the other hand, is a living entity. It has had life since the planet’s formation and grows alongside it."
I see. Zhang Bin had a sudden realization. He also felt secretly fortunate that the experts from powerful sects, like Zhou Tianyu and Zhang Hangkui, probably thought this was rely a Spirit Vein. Although they valued it, they didn’t care about it too much. After all, their sects had masters at the Integration Realm who had surely dived into the Earth Core and found other Spirit Veins. They could take their sect mbers down to mine them, which is why the heritage of cultivation had not been severed. Otherwise, cultivators would have long ceased to exist.
But if they knew this was an unbelievably magical Dragon Vein, countless tis more wondrous than a Spirit Vein, they certainly wouldn’t have given Zhang Bin such a bargain.
Perhaps worried that Zhang Bin wouldn’t agree, the Dragon Vein added in a tempting tone, "If you cultivate Dragon Bones, you will truly be an exceptionally rare genius, able to look down upon the mortal world. Your defensive power will be incredibly strong, and your combat strength will make you virtually invincible within the sa realm. Countless cultivators dream of cultivating Dragon Bones but never get the chance. However, achieving it is not sothing that happens overnight. It requires many years of practice—perhaps ten, or even a hundred. As for cultivating a Dragon Body, that requires an even longer ti."
"Dragon Vein Elder, how long can I cultivate for each ti?" Zhang Bin asked after a mont of hesitation.
"Two hours," the Dragon Vein said.
"Only two hours? That’s too little. It should be at least three days," Zhang Bin said.
"Your rit is still too low. The air you exhale will pollute my Dragon Qi. I can purify what’s produced in two hours, but it becos difficult if you stay longer. Besides, with your current capabilities, two hours of cultivation here is your limit," the Dragon Vein advised. "It’s like eating; consu too much, and you’ll burst. I estimate you can only co here to cultivate once every half a month. This will allow the bones in your body to slowly undergo their miraculous changes and transform into true Dragon Bones."
"In that case, I’ll cultivate for two hours to see the effects first, and then I’ll give you my answer." Zhang Bin wasn’t one to show his hand before seeing the prize and wouldn’t agree so easily.
The Dragon Vein had a good temper and surprisingly agreed. "Very well. You may begin cultivating."
Just now, I gained great benefits by rely breathing in so Dragon Qi. What magical changes will occur now that I’m actually starting to cultivate? Zhang Bin was filled with deep anticipation.
He sat cross-legged and began to earnestly cultivate the Qingmu Longevity Technique. The True Qi in his Dantian circulated rapidly through his ridians, making a sound like the roaring Yangtze River.
Instantly, sothing miraculous happened.
Every pore on his body opened, greedily absorbing and devouring the Dragon Qi. It was as if his body emitted a mysterious attractive force, causing countless silver strands of Dragon Qi to swarm over and pour into him through his pores. Part of it was absorbed by his flesh and bones, while the rest entered his ridians, rged with his True Qi, and was then transported to his Dantian.
That fist-sized seed had already been slowly devouring Zhang Bin’s True Qi, undergoing so inexplicable change. However, when the Dragon Qi entered the Dantian, it seed as though the seed had been awakened from a deep sleep. It suddenly burst forth with a beam of erald light, unleashing a powerful devouring strength.
WHIRRR...
The liquid True Qi in his Dantian spun wildly, forming a giant vortex. It rapidly devoured the Dragon Qi that had rged with the True Qi and swiftly absorbed it. Zhang Bin could even inexplicably feel the seed emitting a sound of imnse excitent, as if a connoisseur of fine spirits had just tasted the most exquisite wine in the world.
WHIRRRR...
The devouring strength intensified, crazily pulling in the Dragon Qi. The seed didn’t grow larger, but it was like a bottomless pit that could never be filled. Its color beca an even more vibrant erald, radiating a breathtakingly beautiful green light that bathed the entire world of his Dantian in its hue.
It seems the Dragon Qi is also highly beneficial for my seed. It might beco even more powerful, and the Divine Tree I eventually cultivate could be even more formidable. Zhang Bin inwardly exclaid with delight, his face beaming with ecstasy.
He imdiately turned his senses to the bones within his body. The changes in his bones were no less significant than those in the seed. No less than half of the Dragon Qi was absorbed by his bones, and they too seed to have beco a bottomless black hole, capable of containing endless Dragon Qi. The color of his bones continued to shift toward silver, and their density increased, giving them a crystal-clear appearance.
His ribs were also slowly expanding, truly on the verge of fusing into a single, complete whole...
