Dragon Scale Defense

Li Yong seemed to notice his gaffe and laughed self-deprecatingly, “Si'er, it was my gaffe, you must be laughing at me.”

Looking at the old man in front of him, Li Tan's curiosity was successfully piqued.

“With Li Yong's cultivation and Realm, how could he be so flustered and make a fool of himself? Could there really be an Opportunity?”

Then, Li Tan, with a very puzzled tone, asked Li Yong, “Grandpa, what wonderful thing happened? It made your heart so joyful.”

Li Yong was still at ease, his face beaming, as if immersed in beautiful memories.

Facing Li Tan's puzzled inquiry, he didn't beat around the bush.

“Today, I visited an old friend and spent a great deal to acquire a Medicinal Pill. In my original plan, it was impossible for him to take out this Medicinal Pill.”

“Perhaps it was my own turn of luck, or perhaps that old friend himself was facing great trouble. The right time, the right place, and the right people—all advantages were with me!”

As Li Yong spoke, his mood became even more cheerful, and he even felt that today's air was exceptionally sweet.

“No matter the process, the result is Perfection.”

As soon as his voice fell, Li Yong was seen activating his storage ring.

“Hahahaha, Si'er, look closely, this is a true Medicinal Pill!”

From Li Tan's perspective, only a golden gleam appeared, breaking through the darkness like a ray of heavenly light descending upon the human world, transforming everything before him into its color...

No! It wasn't just golden!

It was even more dazzling than golden! It was even more sacred than golden!

The brilliant light was like thousands of stars converging, illuminating every corner where Li Tan stood. The energy contained within this Medicinal Pill was terrifyingly immense!

The next moment! An immense Spiritual Qi instantly swept through the entire hall!

The Spiritual Qi in the hall earlier was sparse and dim, but now, the Spiritual Qi was so dense that it had liquefied!

Even the surrounding vitality was vibrant and full of life.

He had no doubt that if a Mortal were to enter this place, their lifespan could be extended by several years.

They would be free from illness and healthy in body and mind for the rest of their lives, and an eighty-year-old elder could walk with nimble steps.

Just as Li Tan was about to ask...

“Roar!”

The Dragon Roar was deep and grand! Like a divine punishment from the heavens, filled with majesty and power, merely hearing its sound could make all things prostrate.

“Hahahaha...!”

“This is the legendary Dragon Roar Pill!”

“A Rank two High Grade Medicinal Pill!”

“Who in Qingfeng City could gather a second one?”

As time passed, Li Tan gradually saw the appearance of this Medicinal Pill clearly.

It was enveloped in a sacred light, and there were two pill Pattern on its surface!

From time to time, a faint Dragon Roar echoed around the Medicinal Pill.

As for the value of the Medicinal Pill, Li Tan naturally knew it very well. The Gathering Spirit Pill in his hand was only a Rank one top-grade Medicinal Pill, yet its price had already reached tens of thousands of Low-Grade Spirit Stones.

“How many Low-Grade Spirit Stones would a Rank two Medicinal Pill be?”

“No! For a Medicinal Pill of this Rank, Low-Grade Spirit Stones are not even qualified for purchase.”

“This kind of once-in-a-lifetime Opportunity! Would Li Yong just give it away?”

“Is it merely to escape the Li family? Is the Li family truly so terrifying that it's worth Li Yong going to such lengths?”

Before his thoughts could settle, a voice came to his ears.

“Si'er, this is the Rank two High Grade Medicinal Pill, Dragon Roar Pill!”

“What is the most powerful aspect of a Dragon? It's its innate Divine Ability! It's its powerful Physical Body!”

“And the greatest marvel of this Dragon Roar Pill is to enhance the Physical Body, allowing the user to possess a Dragon Scale Defense!”

At this moment, Li Tan's heart was indeed uneasy. He suppressed the anxiety and excitement in his heart, and then asked Li Yong in confusion, “Grandpa, what exactly does this Dragon Scale Defense mean?”

Regarding Li Tan's confusion, Li Yong showed a loving expression: “Silly child, a Dragon Scale Defense means the defensive power of a single scale from a Dragon's body! It's just dispersed throughout your body.”

“When you fight with others, you can activate this form, and the Dragon Scale Defense will transform into Dragon scales covering your entire body!”

“It will also help you condense a trace of Dragon blood! In the future, you can also enhance the Dragon Scale Defense through more treasures containing Dragon blood.”

As Li Yong's words fell, Li Tan couldn't help but feel a little dazed, his mind still reeling in shock, unable to recover for a long time.

“Although it's only a single Dragon Scale Defense, dispersed within the body, this miraculous skill is already no less than a martial art!”

“I can also awaken a trace of Dragon blood because of this, and furthermore, this Dragon Scale Defense can gradually advance by devouring treasures containing Dragon blood.”

The fanciful thoughts in his mind made his breathing become uncontrollably hot and rapid.

“If the Dragon blood in my body reaches a certain level! Then can I transform into a Dragon?”

“Dragons! The most powerful creatures in the world, their inherent racial advantage allows them to steadily dominate eras for trillions of years. If there's one drawback, it's their extreme difficulty in reproduction.”

Otherwise, how could there still be any Cultivators in this world? They would probably have long been extinct.

Li Yong looked at the dazed Li Tan below him and laughed heartily with self-satisfaction.

“The raw Materials for this Dragon Roar Pill contain the essence blood of a Golden Core Stage Dragon! Even though it's very diluted, it doesn't affect its value.”

“That old friend of mine had an astonishing Opportunity and accidentally found a very valuable Alchemy Material.”

“However, you should understand the saying, 'An innocent man is guilty only because he possesses a treasure.'”

“By chance, I did him a favor, and thus we formed this connection.”

Li Tan looked at this great treasure, his thoughts churning and colliding rapidly in his mind: “Is this also my Opportunity? Could there be a trick? But even if I knew there was a trick, I would be powerless to stop it.”

“Since Li Yong is willing to bestow such an Opportunity upon me, he must need to borrow my strength.”

When soldiers come, generals block; when water comes, earth covers.

“I originally intended to use this Dragon Roar Pill myself, but I know it won't improve my cultivation.”

“So, Si'er, don't disappoint your grandpa!”

In response, Li Tan immediately expressed his sincerity.

“Grandpa, please rest assured, your kindness in nurturing me will be unforgettable for Si'er in this life! If I were to cross the river and break the bridge, wouldn't I be worse than a beast!”

“Si'er will definitely join the Heaven Sword Immortal Sect and not tarnish Grandpa's reputation outside...”

As Li Tan spoke eloquently, Li Yong was very pleased, stroking his beard and chuckling foolishly.

Li Tan also increasingly recognized the “importance of words.” How many people in this world dislike flattery and dislike harsh words...

“Si'er, I heard you visited an auction recently, is that true?”

Facing Li Yong's question, Li Tan hesitated.

“Should I be honest...”

But only for a moment, Li Tan spoke without changing his expression: “Grandpa's eyes and ears are all-encompassing! It is indeed true, your grandson just attended an auction today.”

“I was fortunate enough to bid on a Rank one top-grade Gathering Spirit Pill. If Grandpa doesn't mind, your grandson will gladly offer it to you.”

Whether he had gone to the auction or not, a little inquiry would yield clues, after all, he had caused quite a stir at the auction.

If such a small matter were to cause his standing in Li Yong's heart to decline, that would truly be a case of “losing more than one gains.”
