154: Chapter 153 Dragon Blood Pill

The Four Seas Hunt Order.

Once this order was issued, the Four Seas were in an uproar.

Dragon Abyss Palace, Black Jade Mansion, and the Great Qi Sea Quelling Department simultaneously made their voices heard, spreading the news of the Dragon Slaying True Person's resurrection across every island, market, and corner where Loose Cultivators gathered in the East Sea and West Sea, with a momentum that seemed to sweep everything before it.

"The ancient Innate One Qi Sect, Dragon Slaying True Person, a Nirvana Realm expert, set a trap at the Turbulent Reef Sea Area in Star Continent Anchorage, using his own memory fragments as bait to lure Primal Form Realm Cultivators inside, intending to devour their essence, Qi, and Divine Soul to achieve resurrection."

"His remnant body has now escaped through the Whale Belly Gate; his cultivation has recovered to at most the Dragon Fetus Late Stage, and it is absolutely impossible for him to have reached the Mysterious Glimpse Realm."

"Anyone who provides clues to his whereabouts will be rewarded with one hundred High-Grade Spirit Stones, one Earth Rank True Intent Cultivation Technique, and one recommendation qualification for a Guest Elder position at Dragon Abyss Palace."

"Anyone who captures or kills his remnant body will be rewarded with one thousand High-Grade Spirit Stones, one Heaven Rank True Intent Cultivation Technique, a seat as an Inner Sect Elder of Dragon Abyss Palace, and three days of meditation in the top floor of the Scripture Pavilion."

"This order is witnessed by the Four Seas."

The day the news spread, the entire East Sea cultivation world was shaken.

In the teahouses and taverns of Taikang Island, countless Loose Cultivators gathered, discussing this earth-shattering event.

"Resurrection! That is a Nirvana Realm expert! To be able to resurrect thousands of years after death!"

"Devouring the essence, Qi, and Divine Soul of Cultivators... what a ruthless method! I fear those Primal Form Realm Cultivators who went in have all become nourishment."

"Indeed! It is said that in our East Sea alone, no fewer than thirty people entered that Immortal Cave, and not a single one has come out yet."

"What does Dragon Abyss Palace say about this?"

"What can they say? Those who died, it was their fate. The five who escaped alive are the truly lucky ones."

"I heard that among those five, there is an Outer Sect Disciple named Jiang Hanzhou? Was it he who discovered that gate in the whale's belly and saw through the Dragon Slaying True Person's scheme?"

"Yes, that is him. Elder Master Xue Mu announced on the spot that he would take him as his Disciple, a personal Disciple of the Red Fire Peak Deputy Peak Master!"

"Hiss—that kid has stepped into the sky in one go!"

Similar discussions were constantly unfolding in Star Continent Anchorage, the Shattered Star Archipelago, Bibo Island, and even the more distant West Sea islands.

As the focal point of all this, Jiang Hanzhou had already quietly returned to Fishing Ground No. 4.

Inside and outside the fishing ground, it was heavily guarded.

Three battle boats were patrolling the near seas, their runes flickering with light, ballistae drawn and ready to engage incoming enemies at any moment.

On the lookout tower at the end of the pier, two scouts from the Prodigal Society were on duty day and night, their eyes never leaving the sea surface.

The moment Jiang Hanzhou stepped into the fishing ground, Wang Mingyuan and Jiang Tao hurried up to greet him.

"Master!"

"Senior Brother!"

The two spoke almost simultaneously, their faces filled with undisguised excitement and relief.

They had, of course, heard about the Dragon Slaying Cave Mansion.

The news spread too fast and too wide; it was impossible to hide.

The moment Jiang Tao learned that Jiang Hanzhou had entered the Immortal Cave and come out alive, he felt a huge weight lifted off his shoulders, and he nearly collapsed into his chair.

At that time, he felt cold sweat trickling down his back, and waves of lingering fear washed over him.

Just a few days ago, he had felt regret that Jiang Hanzhou had given up on competing for the ruins, and had even tried to persuade his master to reconsider.

Thinking about it now, that wasn't regret, that was clearly a life-saving grace!

If his master had listened to his advice at that time and rashly gone to join the fun at the Turbulent Reef Sea Area, given his personality, he would have likely entered that Immortal Cave.

Once inside, he would likely not have come out.

If he didn't come out, he, Jiang Tao, would have lost his own life as well.

"Master." Jiang Tao bowed deeply, his voice trembling, "This subordinate is ashamed."

Jiang Hanzhou glanced at him and said indifferently, "Get up. It is a good thing that you can recognize your shame."

Jiang Tao straightened up, a flash of determination in his eyes.

From now on, his life belonged to his master.

Wang Mingyuan was also filled with deep emotion.

He had been a deacon in the fishing ground for twenty years, seeing countless Cultivators come and go, seeing too many people take risks for Opportunity, only to end up buried in the bellies of fish.

Of those who entered the Dragon Slaying Cave Mansion, how many were younger than him, had higher talent, and had more hope of stepping into a higher Realm?

They all died.

Jiang Hanzhou led the two into the stone house.

Inside the room, the scent of tea curled in the air.

Jiang Tao brewed the tea himself and respectfully offered a cup of steaming Spirit Tea with both hands.

Jiang Hanzhou took it, took a sip, and spoke slowly:

"I have two things to tell you upon my return this time."

The two sat up straight at the same time.

"First, you already know about the Dragon Slaying True Person." Jiang Hanzhou put down his teacup, his gaze calm, "Although I escaped by Luck, this matter is far from over. The Dragon Slaying True Person has escaped, and all parties are investigating. In the coming days, the West Sea will not be peaceful."

Jiang Tao nodded: "Master, please rest assured, the Prodigal Society has retracted all external activities, leaving only the most reliable veterans to secretly gather information. If there is any movement, we will report to you immediately."

Jiang Hanzhou nodded slightly and continued:

"The second thing—I have been taken as a Disciple by Elder Master Xue Mu and will be departing to return to Dragon Abyss Palace in a few days."

As soon as these words were spoken, bright light erupted in the eyes of both Jiang Tao and Wang Mingyuan.

A personal Disciple of the Red Fire Peak Deputy Peak Master!

What an Opportunity this was!

"Congratulations, Master!" Jiang Tao stood up and bowed solemnly, "With this departure, Master will surely soar into the sky!"

Wang Mingyuan also bowed, his aged face full of gratified smiles.

Jiang Hanzhou waved his hand, signaling the two to sit down.

"After I leave, the fishing ground will be left to you." He paused, his gaze falling on Jiang Tao, "Mo Qianshan of the 'Canglang Sword' from the Dragon Abyss Palace Star Continent Anchorage branch stood on the sidelines this time; although he did not commit a major error, Dragon Abyss Palace has sent word to recall him to the main headquarters to report. From now on, the affairs of this branch will be temporarily managed by Elder Yuheng."

Jiang Tao's pupils contracted slightly, then his heart settled.

He had dealt with Mo Qianshan a few times; the man was slick, deep-thinking, and a difficult character to deal with.

That this person was being transferred was a huge blessing for the fishing ground.

"As for Elder Yuheng..." Jiang Tao asked tentatively.

A faint smile touched the corner of Jiang Hanzhou's lips.

He took a jade bottle from his bosom and placed it gently on the table.

The jade bottle was entirely crimson red, with faint spiritual light flowing on its surface, and the mouth of the bottle was sealed with a silver rune, through which something could be vaguely seen surging slowly inside.

"This was given to me by Elder Yuheng," Jiang Hanzhou said, "Three dragon blood pills."

Jiang Tao gasped.

Wang Mingyuan's eyes widened even further, and he was speechless for a moment.

dragon blood pills!

Those were precious Medicinal Pills that only True Disciples of Dragon Abyss Palace could obtain!

Using the essence blood of a flood dragon as the main ingredient, supplemented by thirty-six rare medicinal herbs, it took three years to refine a furnace. A furnace only produced forty pills, each one worth a fortune.

For an ordinary Primal Form Realm Martial Artist, if they could obtain one dragon blood pill, the results of half a month of hard cultivation could equal three months of daily hard work.

"Elder Yuheng is..." Jiang Tao's voice trembled, "This is showing favor to Master!"

Jiang Hanzhou nodded.

He naturally understood Yuheng's intention.

While he was able to escape from the Dragon Slaying Cave Mansion this time, it was partly due to the talisman treasure from Teng Yuzhi, but his act of seeing through the Dragon Slaying True Person's scheme, discovering the Whale Belly Gate, and warning Teng Yuzhi and the others in time also contributed significantly.

As Teng Yuzhi's maternal aunt, Yuheng naturally had to acknowledge this favor.

Moreover, Master Xue Mu had already announced in public that he would take him as a Disciple.

Who was Master Xue Mu?

The Deputy Peak Master of Red Fire Peak of Dragon Abyss Palace, an existence about to step into the Mysterious Glimpse Realm, a top-tier Prodigy who had condensed six types of True Intent.

His Disciple naturally carried a different weight.

Yuheng sending these three dragon blood pills was both an act of gratitude and an attempt to build a relationship.

"I have already spoken with Elder Yuheng," Jiang Hanzhou looked at Jiang Tao, "If the fishing ground encounters difficulties in the future, you can take my token and go to the branch to ask to see Elder Yuheng. She will look after it a little."

Hearing this, Jiang Tao felt completely at ease.

With Elder Yuheng as a backer, the position of Fishing Ground No. 4 in Star Continent Anchorage would be as stable as Mount Tai.

"This subordinate understands," Jiang Tao said solemnly, "Master, please rest assured, as for the fishing ground, this subordinate will do his utmost so as not to distract Master."

Jiang Hanzhou nodded, gave a few more instructions on trivial matters, and then let the two withdraw.
