Chapter 774 - 355: Little Cyan Dragon Mechanism Beast, Power of Earth Veins

"What opportunity?"

Li Chang’an asked at once, his interest piqued.

Chi Qingxuan explained, "My master’s youngest daughter, Zhuo Wanshuang, is coming to the Southern Domain of Zhao Country to look for a Treasure. You’re a Cultivator from the Southern Domain, so you must be familiar with the area. If you can help her and win her favor, there might be a chance for you to get that Cultivation Technique."

"I understand. Thank you, Daoist Chi."

Li Chang’an understood exactly what Chi Qingxuan was implying.

If the Cyan Dragon True Monarch’s own daughter persuaded him, he might relax his conditions and give Li Chang’an the Tier Four Body Refining Technique.

According to Chi Qingxuan, the Cyan Dragon True Monarch doted on his youngest daughter immensely.

’The more he dotes on her, the greater my chance!’

Li Chang’an made up his mind.

’I have to help!’

’The question is, how can I help?’

"Daoist Chi, what Treasure is Miss Zhuo looking for?"

"An Ancient Mechanized Beast."

After some discussion, Li Chang’an learned of Zhuo Wanshuang’s goal.

She wanted to find a Little Cyan Dragon Mechanism Beast.

This type of Mechanical Beast was a Treasure created by the Ancient Mo Family. It was Tier Four and incredibly powerful.

Moreover, the Mo Family would extract the Demon Soul from a Tier Four Flood Dragon Demon Beast and seal it within the Little Cyan Dragon Mechanism Beast, making the machine more lifelike.

A complete Little Cyan Dragon Mechanism Beast could contend with a Nascent Soul True Monarch.

Of course,

The Little Cyan Dragon Mechanism Beast that Zhuo Wanshuang wanted to capture was no longer Tier Four in strength.

Over tens of thousands of years, some of its components had corroded, causing it to degenerate to Quasi-Tier Four.

With Li Chang’an’s power, it wouldn’t be difficult for him to subdue the Little Cyan Dragon Mechanism Beast once he found it.

He agreed to the task immediately.

...

Time flew, and half a month passed in the blink of an eye.

Zhuo Wanshuang and her party were about to arrive.

Late one night, Li Chang’an was soaking in the medicinal bath for the Eighth Layer of Body Refining, quietly cultivating.

At Midnight, a golden light appeared before his eyes.

[Divination Updated]

[Today’s Divination: Auspicious]

[You will help the Cyan Dragon True Monarch’s daughter, Zhuo Wanshuang, subdue the Little Cyan Dragon Mechanism Beast. You will win her favor and obtain a Tier Four Treasure: the Array Element Stone.]

"Array Element Stone!"

Li Chang’an’s eyes lit up.

He had been searching for this Treasure and didn’t expect to find a lead so soon.

’I hope the Array Element Stone from the Divination is a large enough piece. It needs to be at least half the size of a fist.’

He read the Divination’s text, his heart filled with anticipation.

...

「The next day at dawn.」

A cyan, dragon-headed Flying Ship sailed in from the horizon, coming to a steady stop at the edge of Changqing Mountain.

Chi Qingxuan and Chi Qingwu stood atop the Flying Ship.

Beside them stood a petite young girl.

The girl had delicate features and lively eyes. She curiously surveyed Changqing Mountain.

"Senior Brother, Senior Sister, is this that Li Chang’an’s domain? It’s not bad. The Spiritual Power density is almost at Tier Four."

"Yes, this is Daoist Li’s domain."

The two of them responded in unison.

It was their first time here as well, and they were both surprised by the density of Spiritual Power on Changqing Mountain.

This Spirit Vein was on the verge of becoming Tier Four. With a bit of nurturing from a Tier Four Spirit Vein Master, it could become a true Tier Four Spirit Vein!

Just then, Li Chang’an’s laughter rang out from below.

"Fellow Daoists, you’ve traveled a great distance. Please forgive me for not greeting you sooner."

He opened the Array around Changqing Mountain and invited them to take a seat in his courtyard.

A moment later, five figures landed in the courtyard on Changqing Mountain.

Aside from Chi Qingxuan and her two companions, there were two other Cultivators with powerful auras.

Chi Qingxuan made the introductions for Li Chang’an.

"Daoist Li, this is Daoist Yan Hao. Like you, he is also a Quasi-Tier Four Array Master."

"Daoist Yan."

Li Chang’an offered a salute, looking Yan Hao over.

Yan Hao smiled, his expression warm and gentle.

"Daoist Li, like you, I am also a Loose Cultivator. I cultivate on Five Dragon Mountain in Yuan Country. I have come today to assist Daoist Zhuo."

As they were both Loose Cultivators, they quickly became acquainted.

As for the last person, his name was Yu Tao, an Elder of the Cyan Dragon Sect.

He was formidably strong, at Golden Core Peak Cultivation, and possessed two Quasi-Tier Four Skills: the Fengshui Technique and the Spirit Vein Technique. Because of this, he held a very high status within the Cyan Dragon Sect.

He was also here today to help Zhuo Wanshuang.

These two men had been invited by Zhuo Wanshuang herself.

Only Li Chang’an had been invited by Chi Qingxuan and Chi Qingwu.

Once the introductions were over, they wasted no time and immediately began discussing the plan for their mission.

Zhuo Wanshuang explained, "Not long ago, I was out Treasure Hunting and accidentally released a Little Cyan Dragon Mechanism Beast from the ruins of the Ancient Mo Family. I managed to injure it after a bout of Magical Combat, but it was still quite powerful and escaped from me."

As she spoke, she took out a piece of corroded material.

This piece of material was from the Little Cyan Dragon Mechanism Beast.

"Fortunately, I managed to slice this piece from its body. Using that and my Treasure Hunting Disc, I’ve tracked it here to the Southern Domain."

"What is the Treasure Hunting Disc?"

Li Chang’an asked Zhuo Wanshuang, a confused look on his face.

Zhuo Wanshuang chuckled lightly, took out a disc-shaped Treasure from her Storage Pouch, and placed it in front of Li Chang’an.

The object was an earthy yellow color, with a needle-like pointer on its surface. It was clearly a high-tier item, radiating the aura of a Tier Four Treasure.

She explained, "This is a Treasure my father found in the ruins of a Secret Realm. It’s a wondrous item that can point the way for a treasure hunter based on the aura of another Treasure."

Li Chang’an understood at once.

’Treasure Hunting based on an aura isn’t all that remarkable. But this Treasure Hunting Disc can point to locations that are incredibly far away. Zhuo Wanshuang was all the way in Yuan Country, yet this Treasure was able to point her toward the Zhao Country.’
