Changsheng: My experience in patrolling the liver

Chapter 666 Clues to the Immortal Fruit, the Sun God's Fire! (Two Chapters Combined)

"Even his soul has been tempered to such perfection." Fran really couldn't find any weakness in Song Changming.

It's terrifyingly strong in every aspect.

Such a powerful being already has everything prepared; all he truly lacks is a celestial fruit.
"Spare me, spare me!" The Azure Dragon's soul had not been extinguished, and it begged for mercy.

"So you all beg for mercy and submit, huh? The dragon bloodline is so noble, but it seems you're no different from other ants, insects, pigs, and dogs," Song Changming chuckled.

"You!" The Azure Dragon was furious at this humiliation.

But it had no power to resist anymore; once its soul was destroyed, everything vanished.

"I am a dragon from the Dragon Palace of Qinghai. If you kill me, aren't you afraid of being punished by the Dragon King of Qinghai?" The Azure Dragon glared with its dragon eyes, and its voice became more assertive when it talked about its origins.

"You're going to eat me, how could I not kill you?" Song Changming's expression remained unchanged when he heard the words "Qinghai Dragon Palace".

After all, he already knew that these dragons had connections with the Qinghai Dragon Clan, so he wasn't surprised.

If the other party doesn't provoke him, he naturally won't actively seek out this trouble.

But since the enemy had been chasing him all the way, he wasn't one to back down.

At worst, I might lose another life, but we'll meet again someday.

"Then what will it take for you to let me go? I promise, as long as I return alive, this matter will be wiped clean, we will have nothing to do with each other again, and I will never bother you again," the Azure Dragon said helplessly.

He was actually kicking himself.

If he had known that Song Changming possessed such formidable strength, he would never have chased after him alone just because he was craving something.

Song Changming said directly, "Want to live? Trade me some immortal fruit."

With a single word, one can obtain the most precious treasures of heaven and earth, and immortal fruits that grant immortality.

The Azure Dragon naturally couldn't extract it.

If there were any magical fruits, it would have swallowed them long ago; how could it have remained until now?

It's important to know that it's not only humans who can consume immortal fruits to become immortals. Mountain spirits and monsters can also rely on these immortal fruits to increase their immortal spiritual energy, undergo transformation and nurture themselves, and thus be reborn with immortal appearance and power.

Isn't this exactly what it longs for?

"You don't even have any immortal fruit, yet you expect me to spare your life?" Song Changming curled his lip, grabbed the dragon soul, and raised his sword to strike.

"Spare me, spare me! Although I don't have any immortal fruits, I know where they grow!" The Azure Dragon kept calling himself "Little Dragon," almost to the point of slang, and was nowhere near as arrogant as before.

Upon hearing this, not only did Song Changming stop wielding his sword, but Tang Kecha and the other two also felt their hearts pounding wildly.

Becoming an immortal is their lifelong pursuit, but unfortunately, limited by their own strength, achieving immortality has always been a distant dream, with no progress whatsoever.

Now that they heard that Song Changming had actually managed to extract a clue about the immortal fruit from the green dragon, how could they not feel their hearts burning with excitement?

"Speak," Song Changming said calmly, narrowing his eyes.

"I... I told you, how can I believe you will let me go?" Qingjiao wasn't stupid; he was afraid that if he said that, Song Changming's knife would fall again in the blink of an eye.

"Do you have a choice? If you want to live, speak up!" Tang Kecha mustered his courage and shouted sternly.

In the past, he would never have dared to shout like that in front of a real dragon, but now the Azure Dragon only had a broken dragon soul left, and he had Song Changming backing him up, so the situation was different.

Of course, it was also because the clues about the immortal fruit were too tempting that he blurted them out, forcing the Azure Dragon to comply.

Song Changming didn't stop Tang Kecha's actions; he was happy to save himself the trouble of forcing out intelligence information like this.

Unfortunately, this time the Azure Dragon held on tightly and refused to let go. Tang Kecha tried many methods, but eventually ran out of ideas.

"Your subordinate is incompetent," Tang Kecha said sullenly as he retreated.

Song Changming didn't say anything, but looked at the dragon before speaking.

"Then what do you want?"

"Swear an oath to the Heavenly Dao," the dragon said directly.

Song Changming also learned some about the so-called oath of heaven from Tang Kecha and the other two.

The Way of Heaven is high above all living beings.

All cultivators communicate with heaven and earth through their spirit and make an oath to the Dao of Heaven, and they must abide by it.

Otherwise, those who betray their oath to Heaven will be punished by lightning.

It is said that this lightning punishment is enough to annihilate a cultivator's soul and spirit, causing their death and the dissipation of their cultivation, which is extremely terrifying.

"That's impossible. I'd rather not have this so-called news about the immortal fruit you mentioned." Song Changming resolutely refused.

What a joke! Putting aside the question of whether the power of this lightning punishment is real or not, how could he possibly touch such a dangerous oath?

They say keeping promises will ensure peace, but who knows what Heaven is thinking?

Moreover, he had no idea what the Heavenly Dao was or how it operated.

He would never get involved with anything unknown and dangerous if he could avoid provoking it.

Losing his patience, Song Changming was about to slash the dragon soul in front of him with a single blow.

He has plenty of time and energy. Even if this clue is lost, he will continue to search for other clues about the immortal fruit and eventually find them.

“Master.” Fran suddenly stepped forward.

"I have a bottle of holy water that can inflict excruciating pain on sinful souls, making them wish for death but unable to. Let me try it one more time."

Song Changming agreed.

It would be best if we could force them to reveal the truth, but if not, we should just let it go.

He wasn't going to let this dragon escape alive today, not even a single dragon soul.

Without saying a word, Fran took out a small crystal bottle.

The crystal bottle contained a small amount of milky white solution, the method of which was unknown. The aura emanating from it was not evil, but rather somewhat holy, matching Fran's temperament.

Those who don't know better might think this is some kind of good water, but little do they know it's something that torments one's soul.

Fran uncorked the bottle and muttered incantations again.

The next moment, the crystal bottle glowed faintly, and a white solution floated out from it, pouring onto the dragon's soul.

The dragon soul is controlled by Song Changming, so even if it wanted to escape, it couldn't.

In a short while, even a dragon soul as powerful as it was began to struggle in pain.

However, the dragon soul still refused to budge for the time being, so Fran took out a small crystal cage, saying that it could seal up those evil souls with heavy sins, and suggested that the dragon soul be locked up for a while longer to see.

At this moment, Tang Kecha and Bi Yougen's gazes toward Fran had changed somewhat.

Despite her radiant and holy appearance, like a saint, her torturous abilities sent chills down their spines. To make a dragon scream in such agony was no small feat.

After a moment's thought, Song Changming agreed, but added another layer of tenth-level star-sealing array to the crystal cage to ensure that the dragon soul could not escape.

Afterwards, Song Changming directly refined the dragon's corpse to destroy all traces.

"Such high-intensity essence of flesh and blood! No wonder it's the dragon of this place, it's truly different!" Song Changming sensed the difference after only a brief moment of feeling.

In the last hundred years of his life in Kyushu, he had already wiped out many restless demon kings and used their blood to forge his current indestructible golden body.

However, after that, with the lack of the supply of the Demon King's flesh and blood, his progress in body refinement became increasingly slow.

Refining this dragon's flesh and blood now feels like a long-awaited rain after a drought.

Even compared to this dragon's flesh and blood, the flesh and blood of the demon kings of Kyushu are far inferior.

Song Changming roughly judged that, given the increasing difficulty of physical cultivation, the essence of the blood and flesh of such a green dragon, once fully refined, would be enough to provide him with more than ten strands of dragon power!

Ten similar azure dragons would generate one hundred streams of dragon power, and one hundred azure dragons would generate one thousand streams.
"If we could raise these kinds of azure dragons," a sustainable development idea suddenly popped into Song Changming's mind.

Of course, this should be considered an unrealistic fantasy.

After all, it would take countless millennia for a green dragon to cultivate to this level.

He couldn't wait that long. In a thousand years, he might not even be interested in the Azure Dragon anymore.

Rather than raising them ourselves, we might as well catch wild ones when we have the means.

There should be quite a few Azure Dragons among the Azure Dragon Clan of Qinghai.

There are still four more in Biyou Valley, but one of the Azure Dragons in Biyou Valley is said to have the strength of an immortal, which makes him quite wary, and he doesn't want to provoke it for the time being.

Putting these thoughts aside, Song Changming handed over the crystal cage imprisoning the dragon soul to Fran for safekeeping.

With the Binding God Seal in place, he wasn't worried that Fran would do anything outrageous.

To avoid being approached by other azure dragons from the Azure Valley, the group left without lingering.

The nine suns in the sky are most active at noon, each radiating scorching heat that spreads across the earth in wisps.

The temperature had reached its highest point of the day, and Song Changming estimated that the ambient temperature in the area must be around forty degrees Celsius.

For ordinary people without any cultivation, it was naturally a bit too hot.

But for creatures with spiritual cultivation, this temperature is nothing.

Many fire-attribute creatures even prefer the time of day when the nine suns are most active at noon.

At this time, Song Changming and the others had arrived at a relatively vast plateau.

The spiritual energy here is even more concentrated than that by the small river just now.

Such an inexhaustible supply of spiritual energy made Song Changming feel that it was becoming more and more exaggerated.

This was just a random spot he found on the original continent, and it wasn't even the place with the strongest spiritual energy.

"The spiritual energy of this plateau is about 250 times that of Kyushu," Song Changming estimated after careful perception.

He could easily imagine that in other parts of the Primordial Continent, there were probably places with spiritual energy a thousand times or even ten thousand times greater than that of the Nine Provinces!

"If such a place truly existed, a thousand times, ten thousand times better, one could probably become an immortal simply by staying there and doing nothing."

Song Changming then observed some traces of vegetation on the ground and discovered that many of the growing flowers, grasses, roots, and fruits contained varying degrees of spiritual energy fluctuations. If this were in the Nine Provinces, it would already be considered a spiritual root or herb.

But on this plateau, these plants and trees are just ordinary things as far as the eye can see.

On the contrary, it is more difficult to find plants and trees here that do not contain spiritual energy.

In the distance, various wild animals were bowing their heads and eating the flowers and plants here.

Most of them are huge, at least four or five meters tall, and some are more than ten meters tall, with long necks, resembling herbivorous dinosaurs.

When Tang Kecha and the other two saw these wild beasts, their bodies tensed up, their expressions becoming solemn and cautious.

Only after scanning the area with his senses and confirming that these wild beasts posed little danger did he breathe a sigh of relief and relax.

"Although these are ordinary beasts, it's best not to slaughter them indiscriminately. There's no guarantee that one of their species might have been a celestial beast that might cause us trouble," Tang Kecha warned Song Changming.

To put it bluntly, he was worried that these ordinary wild beasts might also have powerful backers. Even if there was only a one in a million chance, he was unwilling to kill these wild beasts needlessly and create unnecessary karma, just to be on the safe side.

"Hmm," Song Changming replied casually.

The wild beasts in the distance quickly noticed Song Changming and his group approaching. Perhaps they did not sense any hostility from the group, for they remained docile, eating flowers, grass, and wood in place.

Tang Kecha's iron folding fan suddenly shot out, circled around the area, and harvested a large number of flowers and plants containing spiritual energy.

Seeing Song Changming's gaze, he explained somewhat embarrassedly, "The spiritual energy from these flowers and plants can be extracted to make some decent spiritual liquid, which will be of some benefit to our cultivation."

Spiritual practice requires a continuous supply of resources.

Even the wildflowers and grasses that can be seen everywhere are good cultivation resources for Tang Kecha and his fellow outsiders.

However, this behavior looks like competing with wild beasts for food, which is not very respectable.

Song Changming suddenly looked towards the horizon.

Wisps of flame drifted down from the sky and landed on this plateau.

Tang Kecha also witnessed this scene.

"What bad luck, it's solar fire. Master, we should go."

Solar fire, also known as celestial fire, is a type of fire that falls from the sky and occasionally ignites the earth, causing a significant natural disaster.

If there is no way to stop it now, it is likely that these heavenly fires will soon sweep across the entire plateau and burn this place to the ground.

With this in mind, Tang Kecha, who was obsessed with small-farmer mentality, wanted to use his iron folding fan to harvest more flowers and plants before the fire spread.

Since he won't accept them, these flowers and plants will soon disappear, a complete waste.

The previously docile wild beasts clearly noticed the fire approaching from the sky, knew what it meant, and quickly scattered in all directions.

As it fled, it mooed as if calling out to warn its kind to escape together.

Upon seeing this, Song Changming had an idea. Instead of leaving, he headed towards the falling fire from the sky.

As they approached the celestial fire, Song Changming opened his mouth and spat out a burning spark.

Possessing the Fire Elemental Spirit Body, he collected no fewer than a hundred different kinds of strange fires in the Nine Provinces and refined them into this fire seed. In terms of power, it is enough to burn down the Nine Provinces, and it is no less powerful than his Thunder Seed.

Seeing the divine fire falling, Song Changming's interest was immediately piqued; this was a rare opportunity for him.

After all, he had never received any solar fire before!
