My Apprenticeship to Uncle Jiu: I Was a Warlord in the Republic of China

Chapter 338 Ruiyuan Returns, Dragon Palace is in Sight

"Go on and tell me what happened next."

Rui Yuan continued to narrate after hearing this, "The dragon blood of the Dragon King nourished many water creatures, allowing us all to awaken a trace of true dragon blood."

"Among them, the patrolling Yaksha Fu'an was the one who, because of his higher cultivation, was so rebellious that he bit off a piece of flesh from the wound of the Dragon King. Although my cultivation was higher than his at that time, I was seriously injured after all, and was unable to kill him!"

"Later, Fu An refined the dragon meat and made great progress in his cultivation. He tried to continue to fight for the Dragon King's body. Unfortunately, he didn't know that the Dragon King's body had already been salvaged."

"But this guy didn't give up. In order to get closer, it kept chasing and devouring the surrounding water creatures that were awakened by consuming dragon blood. I learned that although it wanted to stop it, it was ultimately unsuccessful due to its thick tortoise shell and slow movements!"

Jiang Li asked again, "So this catfish spirit, after devouring all the surrounding aquatic creatures that had awakened their spiritual intelligence, became even more powerful and became the overlord of this lake?"

Ruiyuan nodded after hearing this, "Yes, from now on I will no longer be its opponent, and it can't kill me because it can't destroy my tortoise shell!"

"Since you can't beat it, why don't you hide in the Dragon Palace to practice? I think with the help of the spiritual veins inside, your practice speed should be faster than that catfish monster!"

"I also want to go back to the Dragon Palace, but ever since the Dragon King used the formation to kill the dragon hunter, the Dragon Palace has activated its self-defense function, and I can't get in no matter what!"

"Since we can't get in, why did you stop us before!"

"I just thought that you are the descendants of those dragon hunters. Those guys often have many strange and evil magics. They may not be very effective against other races, but they are surprisingly effective against dragons!"

"If I really let them come into contact with the Dragon Palace formation, I'm really afraid that something unexpected will happen. How can I repay the Dragon Lord for his support over the years?"

Rui Yuan stopped talking about this topic and said to Jiang Li, "Now I have told you everything I know. I hope you will keep your promise and help me kill the descendants of the dragon hunters."

Jiang Li nodded upon hearing this, "I always keep my word, but now I have two things to do. If you can help me complete them, I will agree to your conditions!"

Ruiyuan was a little impatient when he heard that Jiang Li still had questions, but because he needed help, he still said patiently: "Okay, just tell me what you want, and I will definitely help you if I can do it!"

When Jiang Li heard it agree, he immediately smiled and said, "First of all, I want to enter the Dragon Palace. I went through so much trouble to come here just for this!"

"The second thing is that I don't know where the descendants of the dragon slayer are, and I don't know how to find them, so I need you to help me identify them. Otherwise, even if they stand in front of me, I won't recognize them!"

Ruiyuan was very hesitant when he heard this. In fact, he had expected the first point. After all, a well-preserved Dragon Palace was still very attractive in this Dharma Ending Age. He would naturally not let this person go! "

But the second point he said was something he had never expected. With its wisdom gained from living for hundreds of years, it was impossible for it to think that this person just wanted it to help identify the dragon slayer.

He should be preparing to subdue him and make him do things for him, and Jiang Li's next words further confirmed his guess.

"Come to think of it, I've been here for a few days and have heard a lot about monsters in this lake. I think it's because there's no powerful lake god."

"So I plan to let Mo Ying be the god of the lake. It happens that he is a Jiaolong, so it is the most suitable for him to be the Dragon King of the lake. And you can explain the duties of the god of the lake to him!"

Ruiyuan thought for a long time after hearing this. He knew that he had no right to negotiate any conditions now. The Dragon Palace was at the bottom of the lake, and they would go down whether he agreed or not.

As for whether to stay or go, that is just a matter of other people's words. If I can exchange these two conditions for a chance to help Lord Long get revenge, that is not impossible.

After thinking it through, Ruiyuan readily agreed.

At this time, Jiang Li also laughed and put away the Xuanyuan Sword and said, "Okay, okay, in that case, let's get into the water quickly!"

But he changed his mind and said, "Forget it. It's getting late today. It won't be too late to go into the water tomorrow."

Actually, it's not even four o'clock in the afternoon yet, so it's not as late as he said.

The reason why he said it was getting late was mainly because he thought that the magic power in the dragon ball was consumed too much, and if he went down now, he might not be able to find a way to enter the Dragon Palace.

It would be best to wait overnight and let him recharge the Dragon Ball first, and then get it in one fell swoop tomorrow.

After thinking this through, Jiang Li immediately ordered people to ask the villagers to come and say hello to Rui Yuan, while he turned around and went back to the tent to recharge the dragon ball.

It’s funny that more than an hour after Jiang Li entered the tent, the sound of gongs and drums was heard outside.

Confused, he immediately found someone to ask, and only then did he realize that these villagers had spontaneously organized a sacrifice after seeing Ruiyuan, and the sounds of gongs and drums were made by them to pray for blessings.

It was difficult for him to stop this, so he simply decided to ignore it and walked out of the tent and entered an officer's tent a few hundred meters away.

Sure enough, after arriving here, the noise became much quieter, and he injected his own magic power into the dragon ball again.

When his magic power was almost exhausted, he would sit cross-legged and practice for a while. After recovering some of his magic power, he would continue to infuse it. He was busy until the second half of the night, and only then did he replenish the magic power inside the dragon ball to about 30%.

When he thought about the short lifespan of the dragon ball, he was speechless. "After all, it is a place for a dragon to store its magic power, but it is so short and weak. It is simply useless!"

But how could he know that when a real dragon stores its magic power in a dragon ball, it will continuously pressurize the spiritual power therein, and finally liquefy the spiritual energy therein, which can increase the amount of magic power stored therein by dozens of times.

However, he had no idea about this at all. He just treated the Dragon Ball as a balloon and stopped blowing it after one breath. In fact, the Dragon Ball was far from reaching its upper limit of storage.

But Jiang Li naturally didn't know all this. After working for half a day, he felt a little tired, so he put away the dragon ball, returned to his tent and fell asleep.

...

The next morning, after Jiang Li had breakfast, he and Mo Ying Ruiyuan dived to the bottom of the water, and Ruiyuan came between the two stone piers.

He quickly waved his short legs, and the soft mud at the bottom of the lake immediately rolled around.

In just a moment, the bottom of the water became turbid. Jiang Li didn't know how long it would take, so he called out to Mo Ying and swam towards the surface of the lake.

He had no intention of staying at the bottom of the lake and wasting the magic power in the dragon ball.
