Chapter 1417: Chapter 337_4
But the Silverdim Dragon’s body is currently far too fragile, and dragon energy is tyrannical and destructive. Little Yin can’t endure much dragon energy right now, so the only energy it can absorb is Chaos Qi.
Sure enough, when Little Yin heard this, it imdiately started nodding vigorously.
Cao Zhen’s heart surged with joy, and he quickly asked, “What does your nodding an? You want to take you to Gen He?”
Little Yin continued to nod.
Cao Zhen suppressed his excitent and turned to look at Immortal Bi Yue.
He also wanted to take Little Yin away, but his decision wasn’t final—this Holy Mountain seed to operate under Immortal Bi Yue’s authority.
Feeling Cao Zhen’s gaze, Bi Yue’s beautiful brows furrowed slightly.
Cao Zhen’s heart skipped a beat, and he asked softly, “What’s wrong? Are there rules on the Holy Mountain that forbid dragons from leaving?” He recalled how he’d road outside for so long and never seen anyone from the Dragon Chant Sect leading a dragon out—not even a Flood Dragon. He hadn’t even seen any disciples of the Dragon Chant Sect with Flood Dragons in tow.
Immortal Bi Yue gently shook her head and said, “It’s not that there are such rules. However, dragons on the Holy Mountain don’t venture out before reaching the Earth Immortal Realm.”
“Oh, so it’s an unspoken rule, huh?” Cao Zhen imdiately understood. As long as there wasn’t a clear regulation, unspoken rules could be bent—just a little give-and-take, and that rule might as well not exist.
Immortal Bi Yue was already accustod to Cao Zhen occasionally coming up with fresh terms. She paused to think for a mont and understood what he ant by “unspoken rule,” nodding slightly and saying, “Yes, it’s just as you said. Besides, Little Yin is still too young…”
“So, we can’t take it outside to wander, but we can take it away to raise it—that’s what you’re saying, right?” Cao Zhen interrupted before she could finish, quickly adding, “For example, we can take it to the Hundred Peaks Sect and raise it there.”
As soon as Cao Zhen spoke, he felt an exceedingly odd look cast his way. He raised his head to see Bi Yue, whose gaze seed full of wariness—like a mother wary of soone trying to abduct her child.
“You want to take it to the Hundred Peaks Sect?” Bi Yue’s brows knitted deeply.
“I don’t have much of a choice,” Cao Zhen said helplessly, spreading his hands. “It’s already been delayed for too long. If, from the mont it was born, I’d been able to help condition it, it would have only taken about ten years to restore its health. But now, given Little Yin’s current state, it will take an extended ti to properly nurture it—at least a hundred, perhaps even three hundred years to fully recover its body.
And this type of conditioning isn’t just simple alchemy. I need to monitor its condition constantly, adjust its intake of pills according to its needs, and determine precisely what kinds of pills to refine—and their efficacy—for optimal results.
But ultimately, I belong to the Hundred Peaks Sect and can’t stay with your Dragon Chant Sect indefinitely. So, the only option is to bring it to the Hundred Peaks Sect.”
He wasn’t exaggerating—this little Silverdim Dragon indeed required a lengthy recovery period. However, three hundred years was certainly unnecessary.
According to his calculations, he’d likely be able to restore Little Yin by the ti the Minor Era of Inversion of Heaven and Earth ended.
The problem was, once the Silverdim Dragon was healed, the Dragon Chant Sect would undoubtedly co to reclaim it. He wouldn’t have much choice but to return it, which ant he’d have to co up with a compelling excuse. For now, he’d just take the little dragon to the Hundred Peaks Sect and figure the rest out later.
As for what he could accomplish during that period… Well, ti would tell. Regardless, once the dragon was in the Hundred Peaks Sect, its fate would lie entirely in his hands—not to ntion using it for breeding purposes.
After all, dragons have nine offspring…
The key was—first, abduct the dragon.
Immortal Bi Yue listened to Cao Zhen’s words and began to ponder. Ever since Cao Zhen had administered a pill to Little Yin, its condition had indeed improved noticeably. Moreover, she could sense Little Yin’s dependence—perhaps on Cao Zhen’s cultivation aura.
Cao Zhen had told her about the Chaotic Pearl, and she knew he cultivated Chaos Qi. For Little Yin, consuming the chaotic energy Cao Zhen cultivated also brought imnse benefits.
In light of this, letting Little Yin leave with Cao Zhen for the Hundred Peaks Sect did seem advantageous.
However…
Immortal Bi Yue thought for a mont, looked at Cao Zhen, and said, “But if you heal Little Yin, you’ll have to return it soday. Isn’t that too much of a loss for you?”
After all, in that case, Cao Zhen wouldn’t gain anything.
Cao Zhen wasn’t surprised upon hearing this. It was just as he’d expected—she wouldn’t simply give him the dragon. He quickly shook his head and replied, “Loss? Not at all… Uh, by the way, regarding the materials for refining pills…”
“Of course, we at the Dragon Chant Sect will provide the materials. After all, it wouldn’t be right for an alchemist to bear the losses alone. Just tell what you need, and I’ll make sure it’s prepared for you… By the way, you’ll need to consider Little Yin’s condition before deciding on the specific pills, correct?”
“In that case, you can inform whenever the ti cos. Or, you can tell roughly what materials you need now, and I’ll have them prepared in advance so you can take them all with you.” Immortal Bi Yue was unconcerned about the issue of resources. Using the materials would be for Little Yin’s benefit, after all. And Little Yin was a dragon—she could directly requisition whatever was needed from the Holy Mountain.
“Oh, okay, then. I’ll tell you what materials I’ll need first.”
