“What a fine way to repay kindness.”
Ling Yunzi's laughter came from the other end of the small boat, “But I wonder, how much blood energy did you earn from this repayment of kindness?”
“Two hundred and eighty-thousand, five hundred and something!” Da Hei almost immediately blurted out the answer.

“Whoa!” Xu Chengxian praised.
Calculating it so clearly, could it be that he balances the accounts every day?
I wonder if, secretly, he's been calculating with his hooves.
Anyway, according to 187 multiplied by 1500, this number should be correct.
“These broken dragon eggs definitely can't be hatched.”
“Since that's the case, how can you still have the nerve to ask for my blood energy?”
“…Okay then.” Da Hei really wanted to stubbornly say, why wouldn't I have the nerve to ask?
But the words of repaying kindness had just been spoken with such confidence and at such a loud volume.
Slapping his own face would be a bit too much to bear.
So he had to aggrievedly deduct the blood energy that the six broken dragon eggs could have been exchanged for.
“Then it's two hundred and seventy-one thousand, five hundred.” he said, “You've already paid twenty-one thousand, five hundred, leaving a round sum of two hundred and fifty thousand unpaid.”
“No rush, no rush.” Xu Chengxian shook his head, “You won't be shortchanged.”
So it turned out he had only paid the odd change.
Ling Xiao held back from laughing.
“By the way, do you know where we found all the dragon eggs?” Seeing that Da Hei was about to speak, Xu Chengxian quickly changed the subject.
“Where?” Ling Xiao naturally asked.
Xu Chengxian then began to talk about the places where they found the dragon eggs.
He strongly suspected that something strange had been mixed into the True Dragon race's bloodline inheritance.
These guys liked to bury their children in the soil.
They also sealed them with sea mud, placing them in the cemetery as statues, and so on.
These could still be considered acceptable.
“We found many dragon eggs in the walls, in the wells, in the pillars!”
“Some were even stacked on top of each other, stuffed into the pillars of the main hall!”
Good heavens.
Didn't they think about how the children would get out after they hatched when they did this?
Those pillars were hollowed out during forging.
Not only had the spiritual materials been refined, but there was no entrance left at all.
They probably weren't even thinking about letting the children out, right?
“Compared to that, stuffing them into the beams of the main hall isn't too outrageous.”
After all, the dragon eggs' shells are sturdy and wouldn't break even if they fell.
The hatched little ones probably wouldn't die from the fall either.
“The bloodline of the Ancestral Dragon is mostly known for its domineering and rebellious nature, and their actions are also unconstrained and unconventional.” Ling Xiao frowned, “I've heard that they secretly have egg fights.”
That is, they compare whose descendants' eggshells are stronger.
This reminded Xu Chengxian of how he had obtained the dragon eggs in the cemetery by using the method of mutual collision.
He couldn't help but look at Da Hei.
Da Hei gave him a very ghostly and charming grin.
And so he immediately understood.
“However, the reason why they make so many unusual moves is probably because the dragon eggs with better bloodline aptitude are more difficult to hatch.” Ling Xiao continued.
If it hadn't reached the point where they couldn't normally inherit their bloodline without external help, the True Dragon race wouldn't have split off a part and moved to the mortal realm of the Eastern Land.
“The proud True Dragon bloodline is now driven and controlled by many parties, I wonder if they will regret their choice back then.”
What was said in this sentence definitely wasn't about the True Dragon race that had already disappeared in the Demon Domain.
“Hey, this matter depends on how you think about it.” Xu Chengxian condensed his limbs, crossed his legs, and said, “As the saying goes, it's better to live shabbily than to die nobly. Some want to die standing, some want to live kneeling.”
“It's all about making a choice without regrets.”
If they can all get what they want, it can be considered a good ending.
Not wanting the entire race to be exterminated, everyone makes their own choices, it's hard to say who is right and who is wrong.
Even judging this matter itself, different people will have different views.
“If it were you, what would you choose?” Ling Xiao asked.
“Of course, I would choose to live standing!” Xu Chengxian hummed, “To survive, I can temporarily lie down.”
But kneeling, that's a bit too difficult.
Transmigrating into a snake, he could become stronger by sleeping all the time.
But wasn't it still the case that once he felt he had a bit of strength, he kept tossing and turning?
Unless he was completely flattened and dried, who would be willing to be a salted fish?
Even if he was flattened and dried, as long as he wasn't completely dead, a little water would make him jump again.
Isn't all this tossing and turning just to live more comfortably?
“What does kneeling to survive have to do with living comfortably?”
“…Oh, you actually think that way?” Ling Yunzi seemed a little surprised after hearing this.
“Huh? What do you mean?” Xu Chengxian felt that he was being ridiculed.
“He didn't expect that you would actually have such ambition.” Ling Xiao kindly translated for him.
Xu Chengxian: “…Heh.”
“Ah ha ha ha ha!”
Da Hei laughed so hard that he stomped his feet.
… …
No matter what.
Nothing could affect Xu Chengxian's good mood.
Thinking that there were nearly four hundred points of refinement waiting to be claimed.
It was really hard for him to generate even the slightest bit of negative emotion.
At this time, he suddenly had some empathy for the situation of the rich.
It really felt like this world was lovely everywhere.
Everything looked pleasing to the eye.
Everything seemed interesting.
Even the captured, hideous sea beasts, he found very artistic.
Then he had Ling Xiao store them for him.
“Not eating?” Ling Xiao raised an eyebrow.
“Not eating yet.” Xu Chengxian said, “My cultivation has reached a bottleneck, I have to go into seclusion next.”
So he had to store a large amount of blood food.
“How long will you be in seclusion?”
“About half a month.”
He had to claim all the refinement points as soon as possible.
With his current cultivation, controlling the growth of his physical and spiritual realm every day within the bearable limit, he estimated that he could complete it in about ten days.
“What's half a month called seclusion?” Ling Xiao said, “Why don't you just say you're going to sleep for half a month?”
Saying that, he threw the sea beast in his hand to Xu Chengxian.
Telling him to eat it quickly.
Too lazy to seal it for him.
“When you get to the place, you can hunt another sea beast yourself that can keep you from being hungry for half a month.”
“Aren't you going to help big brother?” Xu Chengxian didn't want to give up easily on the pleasure of instructing his younger sister and brother to work.
“Big brother, Ling Yunzi and I have gained insights from the Demon Emperor that you passed on, and we broke through small realms a few days ago. After these few days of discussion, we have each gained something.”
Ling Xiao smiled and said, “We need to calm down and consolidate for a few days.”
“…Tsk.” Xu Chengxian couldn't help but scratch his head.
Oh, ho.
Is their cultivation going to improve again?
Fortunately, my harvest this time is even greater!
… …
Three days later.
The small boat docked.
Arriving at an island that was not too far, not too near, not too good, not too bad from the True Dragon Main Hall.
Ling Xiao and Ling Yunzi immediately busied themselves with setting up defensive formations.
Xu Chengxian then plunged into the Chaos Sea.
“Hunting!”
He said to Da Hei, “Let's hunt a big one!”
It would be best if it could not only fill his stomach for half a month but also allow him to obtain some blood energy after refining it.
Even a mosquito leg is still meat!
Charge!
