Starting from the Greyhound, seventy-two changes.

Chapter 157 Totem Beast
Looking at the great creation on the changing chart
As long as he can successfully reproduce the ancient mythology and gather the nine ancient beasts with the emperor's dragon energy, can he really turn them into a dragon?

Or is it the dragon of the true dragon emperor?

But Chen Ku felt his heart tremble just by looking at the name of the totem beast worshipped by the Jiufang tribe.

It’s fine what about Bai Ze and Qing Si.

Lian Zhuyin and Jiuling Yuanshi are among them.

The 'real dragon' formed by the fusion of these earth-shaking mythical beasts and great monsters of prehistoric times would have such a powerful force that would shock the heavens and the earth and make the gods weep.

Then look at the embryo that needs to be refined.

Imperial dragon energy?

For the first time, Chen Ku felt that the conditions of the change diagram were incredibly harsh.

What does this mean?

Kill the emperor first?
You have to kill nine ancient beasts to complete the [True Dragon Transformation].

Is it really that outrageous?

Chen Ku felt overwhelmed by these conditions.

then.

I couldn't help but ask:
"I'm not an ancient emperor, so where do I get such divine power? Can I kill the nine divine beasts to complete the dragon form and use the blood of their descendants?"

Remember, the blood of the Chinese Greyhound contains the blood of the 'Sun-Swallowing Dog'.

So he tried and experimented, placing this third realm dragon energy at the position of [Fetal Transformation and Form Refining].

then,

First, a second-level narrow dog was hung up, and finally, a lion-headed catfish evil spirit, a yellow cattle evil spirit, and a python evil spirit were hung up in turn.

"Give it a try? Let's deduce first to see if there is a probability and possibility of success. If it is possible, then we can use a low-profile dragon first."

[The owner of the picture has placed a small dog, a lion-headed catfish, a yellow cattle, and a python, intending to use the dragon energy of the Three Realms' national destiny as an embryo to 'transform the fetus into a body', and is currently deducing...]

[Deduction in progress...]

[End of deduction]

[This time, there is a one in ten thousand chance that the third level ultimate transformation 'Snake Dragon' will be produced]

(The owner of the diagram can increase the success rate of "Fetal Transformation" by increasing the number of transformation diagrams, filling in better bloodline transformation objects, filling in higher-level dragon energy, etc.)

One in 10,000 chance?
It means that it takes ten thousand attempts to succeed once.

Or a viper dragon...

"The Viper Dragon... is indeed the lowest-quality dragon. The Golden-winged Dapeng in mythology that eats 500 small dragons every day must be this thing."

Chen Ku couldn't help but grin.

This is too low-end.

but,

He had a slight thought in his mind:
"There is a one in ten thousand chance, which means that the low-profile version is possible. And judging from the reminder of the transformation diagram, it is only because I don't have enough transformations of the totem beast bloodline, and the number of transformation diagrams is not enough, so I can't even put together a minimum-profile Viper Dragon."

But from Chen Ku's description of the "real dragon" in this world from the transformation diagram, he must have thought that even the lowest-level viper dragon, with the word "dragon" attached to it, should not be a simple transformation.

Didn't you see that the quality of the transformation was marked as 'top quality'?

Even the spotted marten is merely excellent.

"Isn't it that the descendants of the nine ancient mythical beasts, the Peacock Toad, the White Ze, the Blue Rhinoceros, the Sun-Swallowing Dog, the Nine-Tailed Catfish, the Nine-Spirit Lion, the Golden-Winged Peng Eagle, the Mermaid, and the Zhu Yin, have a higher success rate?"

Chen Ku thought in his heart:
"There are only nine categories: shrimp, deer, cattle, dogs, catfish, lions, eagles, fish and snakes. I am a rich man now, and I am eyeing these nine types of monsters to buy. I am not afraid that I won't find any with bloodline. Even the small dogs running around in the mountains have the bloodline of the Moon-Eating Sky Dog, a descendant of the Sun-Swallowing Dog, which is one in a billion. I don't believe that I won't find any bloodline of other monsters?"

"If nothing else, the Nine-Colored Deer is related to deer and can understand animal language, which makes it look like Bai Ze's bloodline!"

He immediately listed the Nine-Colored Deer as one of the options that must be captured and hunted.

"Then, it's the number of changes in the graph."

Chen Ku looked at the City God's hand bones, which had been suppressed and spirited.

"Sacrifice!"

Wow~~
I saw that the hand bones of the City God turned directly into a handful of ashes and scattered into the air.

However, a ball of colorful power lit up in the hand bones and penetrated into the changing diagram in Chen Ku's mind out of thin air.

[Fifth Transformation Diagram Cultivation Conditions, Two of Them Have Been Satisfied]

[All awakening conditions: 10,000 taels of gold, 10,000 taels of silver essence, one pound of incense, one step of ultimate martial arts, one fourth-level evil spirit]

Chen Ku looked at the conditions of the fifth picture.

Over such a long time, with the changes of others, he has actually mastered several unique martial arts.

Two of them are from Yan Longhao.

A masterpiece of nine dragons combined, and a masterpiece of escaping from a gun.

The evil spirits of the four realms...

Chen Ku looked at his hand:
"Can not go back?"

This Four Realms 'Yan Zhen' evil spirit that he used to suppress the spirit of Duan Mingbi in the City God Temple has completely become a 'Yan Zhen Talisman'...

[Yan Zhen Fu: Can continue to suppress evil spirits below the fourth level (nine times)]

It can be used nine times.

but,

This means that if he wants to complete the fifth transformation diagram, he has to find a way to kill another fourth-level master.

Considering the upcoming fight between the three giant gangs, it seemed that whether he was willing or not, he would need to get involved and fight with some people from the two major gangs.

"The last thing missing is silver essence. Silver essence is said to be the essence of silver after it has been purified. As the name suggests, it is called 'silver essence'. It is said that ten taels of silver can produce one tael of silver essence."

Chen Ku calculated:
"Ten thousand taels of silver essence is equivalent to one hundred thousand taels of silver, not to mention the refining premium. I estimate that it would cost more than one hundred thousand taels of silver to buy it."

He shook his head.

Said to himself:
"Silver essence is usually used to refine weapons. The Chai Tie Pu may have it. Let's go back to Yao Wang Tang first, and then try to get it step by step."

that's it.

Before leaving, Chen Ku cremated Li Chongguang's body on the spot and turned it into ashes, buried it with soil, and returned to Yaowang Hall.

did not expect.

As soon as I entered the courtyard, I saw Yang Luchan and Kou Ming, both of whom had changed their clothes.

"Junior Brother Chen, you came back later than us. What happened?" Kou Ming asked subconsciously.

"It was a close call, but when I was cremating Li Chongguang, the hand bone in his palm shook my mind and made me faint for a long time." Chen Ku lied with his eyes open, saying, "Fortunately, when I woke up, I saw that the hand bone and Li Chongguang had turned into ashes, so I came back too late." "Huh? The hand bone actually has supernatural powers?" Yang Luchan said, then looked at Chen Ku with a guilty look on his face, and said, "It's my fault, I should have dealt with the hand bone at that time."

Kou Ming pondered slowly and said, "The hand bones probably contain the spiritual thoughts of the City God."

"exactly."

Chen Ku just wanted to take this opportunity to ask this knowledgeable senior brother, and said:

"I actually saw in my mind a general wearing a dragon robe and holding a spear coming at me."

"Junior Brother Chen, you are frightened."

Kou Ming quickly comforted him:
"However, those are just illusions. A City God who travels through the four realms every day has no means of direct mental attack. He is just trying to scare people. What's more, what you got is just the hand bone. If you destroy it, nothing will happen."

"That's good."

Chen Ku exhaled and said:

"However, I am very surprised by the clothes that the City God is wearing. There are actually dragons embroidered on them. What's the reason for this?"

The transformation diagram he has now given a great opportunity to transform into a dragon.

Of course, we must seize every opportunity to learn some knowledge related to dragons in this world. The dragon on the clothes worn by the City God is a suspicious point.

"Well, that's a crown, a formal dress. Generally, only those who have been granted titles and nobles can wear it. There are five levels in total, corresponding to the emperor, kings, dukes, marquises, and nobles."

Kou Ming imparted knowledge to Chen Ku:

"Among them, the emperor's clothes are embroidered with real dragons with five claws, the kings' clothes are embroidered with dragons with four claws, the dukes' clothes are embroidered with Yinglongs with wings, the marquises' clothes are embroidered with Qionglongs with horns, and the princes' clothes are embroidered with Jiaolongs with feet."

"True dragon? Dragon King? Yinglong? Qiulong? Jiaolong?"

Chen Ku suddenly asked:

"What do the names of Baojiao County and Qiulong Prefecture have to do with this?"

"Junior Brother Chen is really smart."

Kou Ming first praised Chen Ku, and then said:

"My Daji Dynasty imitated the ancient emperor's national system and divided the world into provinces, states, prefectures and counties. During the ancient emperor's reign, this prefecture-county system was in place. All counties were called Jiao counties, and prefecture cities were called Qiu prefectures. This is because in ancient times, after the emperor unified the nine directions and used the dragon as the totem of the heavenly court, the ranks of the nobility were the True Dragon Emperor, the Dragon Kings, Yinglong, Qiulong, and Jiaolong. Dragons are actually people of different ranks."

"Dragons are a different class of people."

Chen Ku repeated this sentence and couldn't help but sigh in his heart:

"So this is what I heard before when people were like dragons in ancient times."

"Brother Chen, there is no need to be envious. Aren't you going to take the exam to become a martial arts student? Once you pass the exam and get a ninth-rank honor, you will have the foundation for promotion."

Kou Ming explained to Chen Ku, saying:
"During the Daji Dynasty, ninth-rank martial artists can be exempted from tax by paying 10,000 taels of silver. From then on, even if they have achieved official status and fame, they can still hope to obtain a knighthood in the future, whether they join the army to make achievements or go to Beijing to take the martial arts exam."

Chen smiled bitterly and said nothing.

Just take it as a compliment.

"Okay, it's getting late. Chen Ku, you should not go home for the next two days. I'm afraid that the Yulong Society and the Chai Tiepu will assassinate you. Tomorrow, I will ask the shopkeeper to temporarily bring your family to Yaowang Hall and give you a small courtyard of your own." Yang Luchan was thoughtful.

If they go to assassinate Ma Mingfeng, the other party can also come to assassinate Chen Ku.

His precious disciple cannot make any mistakes.

"Ok."

Although Chen Ku had some thoughts in his mind, after all, living in Yaowang Hall, it was not very convenient for him to go in and out normally, but at special moments, he was indeed afraid of assassination.

that's it.

The night passed.

the next day.

The entire Baojiao County was shocked by what happened in the City God Temple last night.

A note from the City God Temple directly brought the Fish and Dragon Society to the government office, and there were also witnesses, and the two people who were controlled by the City God were all confirmed to be the shopkeepers of the two shops of the Fish and Dragon Society.

In the Yamen.

The county magistrate looked at the Duan family members in the hall and asked the knife king Wang Yixian next to him:

"Haven't the people from the Yulong Society come to confront us in court yet?"

Just at this time.

"Sir, the Fish Dragon Society's advisor Chen Shaobai has arrived."

County Magistrate Qi Wanshan narrowed his eyes, looked at the scholar in white who walked in, and said:
"Chen Shaobai, why don't you kneel down when you see me?"

"I, Chen Shaobai, kneel to see the County Magistrate." Chen Shaobai knelt on the ground, then held up a document with both hands and said, "Regarding the theft of incense from the City God Temple, the Yulong Society has already known about it and is also very shocked. I would like to ask the County Magistrate to make it clear. Li Chongguang, Xie Shiji, Cao Wang, Fei Lun and others have long left the Yulong Society and are not formal members of the Yulong Society. This matter has nothing to do with the Yulong Society, but considering that they have participated in the society after all, our head, Mr. Li Yutang, is righteous and awe-inspiring. He is willing to compensate the City God Temple for what they have done. Please make it clear to the County Magistrate."

"Hmm..." Qi Wanshan smiled: "Let me see, what is the compensation?"

Fish and dragon meet.

Li Yutang looked at the five tablets in the hall with trembling face:
"Chongguang, Mingfeng, Fei Lao, Cao Wang, Xie Shiji, my five brothers."

"Head, we all know that Yaowang Hall must have been involved in what happened last night. Otherwise, it would be impossible for all five brothers to be killed and even their bodies could not be found. They said it was Ping An Dao... How could we not know if it was Ping An Dao?"

An old hall master sighed and said:

"But we have been caught off guard in the past two days, and it is even easier for us to make mistakes in a hurry. I think that at the fifteenth Guild Consultation Conference, we should avoid the sharp edge, calm down, and then wait for an opportunity to take revenge! As long as we find a good opportunity and cooperate with those people properly, this Baojiao County will definitely be ruled by our Yulong Society."

Li Yutang slammed the table heavily without saying anything, which was his agreement.

that's it.

Two days later, the Baojiao County Guild Consultation Conference was held as scheduled.

But those who really know the inside story know that this conference has always been a superficial effort. In fact, the results of the secret competition between each other have already come out.

as predicted.

At this conference, a total of 18 favorable regulations regarding Yaowangtang in the next four years were directly decided and passed. Some of these decisions were simply to draw blood from the Chaitiepu and Yulonghui.

But the two families present seemed to have acquiesced.

However, Chen Ku, who was at the conference, was keenly aware that a storm was about to come...

Not only is the Yulong Club forbearing, even the Chaitie Shop is preparing for a big move.

Time flies.

Just half a month passed.

On February , the dragon looked up.

Chen Ku still lived in Yaowang Hall, but he sneaked out in the middle of the night just to bring back the flower marten:

"Well, I have found the approximate range of the Nine-Colored Deer, and brought back so much Second Level Evil Qi. Good, good, now I can finally conjure up the Horse Roaring Wind and try to reach the peak of the third level of the Mysterious Passage."
