Chapter 294 - The Origin of the Water Dragon Sect
Chapter 294 of "Longevity through Upgrading Buildings" opens presenting key developments: "Has he really been secretly putting in the effort all along behind our backs?"Ji Yuan... Read on!
"Has he really been secretly putting in the effort all along behind our backs?"Ji Yuan speculated in his heart.
"Anything else?"
Hua Yaoyue asked without lifting her head.hing, but now theyâre launching a massive attack. If it was truly just for some minor benefits, it wouldnât make sense, as itâs not quite in line with the Demon Daoâs style."
This was the question Ji Yuan had been pondering over throughout his journey.
He always felt that the Demon Daoâs attack seemed too peculiar, taking such a huge risk for so little gain, cunning Demon Thieves should not engage in such actions.
"This matter..."
Hua Yaoyue seemed to know something about it.
She put down the small shovel in her hand, patted her hands and stood up, walking along the path between the flower beds, with Ji Yuan following her closely.
"Itâs actually related to an incident from a very long, long time ago."
"A long, long time?"
"Yes, itâs roughly two to three thousand years ago." Hua Yaoyue said, turning her head to look towards the south, "Do you know why our Water Dragon Sect chose to establish here, and why it is named Water Dragon Sect?"
"Disciple does not know."
Ji Yuan had some guesses, but he didnât say them, preferring to directly hear Hua Yaoyueâs explanation.
"Because thousands of years ago, a true dragon, a water-elemental true dragon, was slain here, and now our Water Dragon Sect still enjoys a bit of the good fortune from it."
"What?! A true dragon?"
Ji Yuan truly didnât know about this, and not only that, he had never even encountered similar records in any historical documents of the Water Dragon Sect.
"Yes, this matter is secret, you know it, but donât spread it outside."
Hua Yaoyue deliberately reminded him.
"Yes."
Ji Yuan understood, it seemed even his senior brothers and sisters were unaware of this matter.
"As for that Lishui City, to be precise, itâs more about the river next to it, I believe itâs called..."
"Li Hua River." Ji Yuan spoke up.
"Oh yes, now itâs called Li Hua River, but it used to be called Dragon Fall River, supposedly formed when the true dragon was struck down, so now thereâs still a strand of dragon aura remaining at the riverbed, and those from the Demon Dao likely saw some information somewhere and are searching for it."
The secret sought after arduously by the Demon Sect was so casually revealed by Hua Yaoyue.
"Dragon aura, isnât that a good thing?"
Although Ji Yuan did not fully understand, just based on the name, he could tell that it was something valuable.
"Heh, in the Land of the Fallen Dragon, the last bit of dragon aura from a true dragon about to be killed, do you think itâs something good?"
Hua Yaoyueâs mocking laughter interrupted Ji Yuanâs fantasies.
On second thought, it made sense; if it truly were something good, Hua Yaoyue herself would have already tried to retrieve it.
"However, regarding the Sword Manual you cultivate, itâs somewhat useful. Your second sword embryo could be forged above the Li Hua River, where it might even absorb a trace of Dragon Fortune, but remember, once the Water Transport starts mingling with blood aura, you must stop immediately, otherwise, even I wonât be able to save you."
"Yes."
Ji Yuan quickly made a mental note of this; unable to acquire dragon aura, obtaining a trace of Dragon Fortune was also beneficial.
By that time, his second Flying Sword should be considerably more powerful, but if thatâs the case, why didnât his first Flying Sword receive the same treatment?
His first Flying Sword was forged in the Cloud Rain Marsh.
Ji Yuan curiously asked about this doubt in his heart.
Hua Yaoyue chuckled upon hearing this, saying, "The place is known as the Boundless Marsh, yet during those days, it was nothing more than a small mudflat by Starfall River. Can you guess how this Boundless Marsh came to be?"
Ji Yuan thought for a moment and said, "Fought out in battle?"
"No, when the true dragon fled here, it was down to its last breath, no great battle occurred. This Boundless Marsh was actually... dug out."
"What? Dug out?!"
Ji Yuan was extremely shocked upon hearing this answer.
It is said that digging three feet into the ground is already preposterous, and yet this place was dug out into a boundless marsh?
"Yes, every bit of soil with a trace of dragon aura was dug out by people, do you still think thereâs any good fortune to spread among us latecomers?"
"Donât overthink it."
Even Hua Yaoyue couldnât help but clasp her hands behind her back and sigh deeply.
As soil with dragon aura was highly coveted, Ji Yuan couldnât help but think about his Fish Pond; according to normal estimations, the Fish Pond could eventually nurture a true dragon.
At that time, he might need to rename it Dragon Pool.
"Master, what level of Spirit Beast is a true dragon considered as?"
Ji Yuan asked curiously.
"Level?"
Hua Yaoyue echoed the question, then softly murmured, "Just one could easily annihilate the entire Cangluo Continent."
