#175 - The Reverse Scale Armor, a top-grade spiritual weapon!
"Huh? What's up!" Hearing Ling Xiao call him, Xu Chengxian popped his head out from underwater.
"…When did you get in the water?" Ling Xiao frowned. Why didn't she hear any splashing? "And what are you doing in the water?"
It's even causing the entire cave to shake!
"Looking for treasure!" Xu Chengxian proudly wagged his tail. "Wait till I dig it out, I'll show you all."
Judging from his words, there's treasure in the water?
Ling Xiao couldn't help but raise an eyebrow. Seeing the flower snake dive back into the water after speaking, she stopped paying attention to him and continued to examine the dragon eggs.
She released her divine sense, carefully penetrating the milky white halo mixed with golden light emanating from the dragon egg nest, carefully sensing each one.
She wanted to find the one with the most vigorous life force and the strongest bloodline inheritance.
This dragon egg would determine where they would end up in the Azure Dragon Mystic Realm after passing through the teleportation array.
A dragon egg with good aptitude would naturally be teleported to the core of the mystic realm, where the spiritual energy was most abundant.
There were more good things there.
"Although the Azure Dragon Mystic Realm may not be very vast, as far as I know, it seems to be several mystic realms nested together."
Therefore, it would be no easy task to search through all the good things within.
The best way was to directly land in a tomb where good things were most likely to appear.
Even if the arrangements made by the Dragon Clan within had long ceased to exist due to the passage of time, such an excellent treasure land would still be more likely to nurture high-grade spiritual materials compared to other places.
"Even if it were to become a misty and eerie realm like this imperial tomb, the tomb beasts inside could still be hunted for cultivation needs."
At the very least, they could dig up some spirit stones.
Ling Xiao examined each dragon egg in front of her, carefully sensing them.
She pondered which one to choose.
It wasn't that she didn't want to take all the dragon eggs away, but that she couldn't.
Dragon eggs were different from ordinary spiritual objects.
Only one dragon egg could be placed in a storage bag, or rather, a storage magic tool.
If two or more were placed inside, the dragon eggs would devour each other's life force.
Normal dragon eggs would not do this, of course.
The formation on it could block the sensing between dragon eggs.
To take more than two dragon eggs, one would have to take this dragon egg nest as well.
But this magic tool weighed tens of thousands of pounds!
At least a low-grade magic treasure-level storage magic tool and a demon general realm cultivation base would be needed to carry it away.
But the problem was that, although the spiritual materials used for this thing were extraordinary, after being refined by the True Dragon Clan, it could only be used for placing dragon eggs.
There was no way to reforge it.
It was like a chicken rib.
The demon generals who entered the imperial tomb didn't care for it. The great demons had no ability to take it away.
This was why there were still dragon eggs here even though demons came to the imperial tomb every ten years.
With the insatiable greed of cultivators, even if one dragon egg could allow five demons to enter the Azure Dragon Mystic Realm, there would definitely be many demons who would sweep away all the dragon eggs they could find.
Ling Xiao only had one storage bag on her body.
Therefore, she had to make a choice.
But since these dragon eggs were placed together, it meant that they were inherently of the same aptitude, with very little difference.
Now that their life force had dissipated and their spiritual light no longer existed, it was even more difficult to probe the aura and bloodline power of the True Dragon to distinguish their strength.
"Otherwise, just take one at random." Ling Xiao felt that such discernment might be meaningless.
The dragon eggs in the True Dragon tomb chamber were definitely stronger than those in other tomb chambers.
They were already the best batch, and there wasn't much difference between them, so choosing one at random would be fine.
Buzz—
Just as she was about to make a decision, a slight tremor came from under her feet again.
Disrupting her thoughts.
"Xu Chengxian!" Ling Xiao was a little annoyed.
"Don't worry, I'm almost there!" Xu Chengxian replied via divine sense transmission.
"Ling Xiao, these are for you." At this time, Ling Yunzi had almost finished searching for the spiritual materials of some value in the grass, simply sealed them with magic power, and brought them over to Ling Xiao.
Besides a few spiritual herbs, there were also some seeds.
"Although there is a jade stone door to block it, it has still been eroded by resentment, and with the dissipation of spiritual energy, 80% of the spiritual materials have degenerated into ordinary vegetation."
"Only these are still of some value."
"What about the tree?" Ling Xiao asked as she casually put them into the storage bag at her waist.
"It's a spiritual root, but it's already dead." Ling Yunzi shook his head.
Neither the trunk nor the roots had a trace of vitality.
"What a pity," Ling Xiao said.
Then she asked Ling Yunzi to step forward and try to find the best one from the dragon eggs.
"If you can't tell the difference either, then we'll just have to pick one at random."
Before she could finish speaking, she heard a loud laugh behind her.
"Haha! Found it!"
The two immediately turned around and saw Xu Chengxian crawling out of the water.
His tail was still wrapped around something.
Laboriously dragging it towards the river bank.
"What is that thing?" Ling Xiao couldn't help but twitch her eyelids at the sight.
Something that Xu Chengxian was struggling to drag?
How heavy would that be!
And generally heavy things couldn't be ordinary things.
"It looks like a suit of armor," Ling Yunzi said, stepping towards it.
Ling Xiao immediately followed.
The dragon eggs were right there, there was no rush to choose.
On the contrary, the thing that Xu Chengxian was dragging aroused her curiosity even more.
When they got close in a few steps, the thing had also been dragged to the shore by the flower snake.
"Come and see!" Xu Chengxian moved the tip of his tail, summoning a stream of water to quickly wash away the dirt on the armor.
While washing, he greeted Ling Xiao and Ling Yunzi, "Come and see, is this a good treasure!"
It was a suit of armor composed of cyan, black, white, and gold scales, arranged and combined in a seemingly chaotic but actually rhythmic manner.
It looked like a human armor.
But Ling Yunzi vaguely felt that something was wrong.
He stopped Xu Chengxian's behavior of washing with water, walked up, flicked his horsetail whisk, and injected a strand of spiritual power into the armor.
In the next instant.
The armor shone brightly.
Instantly, the dirt on it was driven away.
Each scale that made up the armor restored its original luster, giving rise to bursts of pressure fluctuations.
The armor also turned into a long cylindrical shape.
It was no longer a human armor, but more like it was tailored for the figure of the Dragon Snake race.
"This is?" Ling Xiao said in surprise, "What a rich True Dragon aura!"
"Not surprising," Ling Yunzi said, "This is a high-grade spiritual weapon, a treasure armor made from the True Dragon's inverse scale under its jaw."
The name was also very straightforward, and it was called Inverse Scale Treasure Armor.
It was a body-protecting treasure garment prepared by the True Dragon Clan for its descendants.
"It's a pity, it should have been a top-grade spiritual weapon when it was first refined."
At this time, the True Dragon's pressure attached to it had dissipated for the most part, and its grade could only be considered high-grade.
"It's okay! It's still a good treasure."
Xu Chengxian swam to the side of the armor, wrapped his tail around it and threw it into the air, then twisted his body and drilled into it.
Putting the armor on his body.
Then he turned his head and asked Ling Xiao:
"Look, is it just right?"
"…" Ling Xiao frowned.
The flower snake was wearing a flowery garment.
It was suitable, but it was really a bit of an eyesore!
