Chapter 9 (2/2)

They were surrounded by dozens of mountains. The Dragon clan usually lived on different mountain peaks according to their branches. Among them, a mountain peak that towered like the clouds was very eye-catching.

And their destination was precisely there.

Following Ao Yan in Dragon Valley, Jiang Xiaobai was like a naked woman, extremely eye-catching.

No matter where they went, there were pairs of eyes staring at him.

Their eyes were full of ridicule and disdain because he was the only mortal in Dragon Valley.

Soon, the two of them arrived at the mountainside of the tall mountain peak. Here, Jiang Xiaobai saw a grand hall, and along the way, there were small attics everywhere that emitted a terrifying aura.

This place should have gathered more than 90% of Dragon Valley’s experts.

Right above the grand hall, there was a plaque with two large golden words on it.

Dragon Palace!

A majestic and ancient aura blew over. Only then did Jiang Xiaobai realize that this Dragon Palace was actually a magic treasure!

He could not help but be shocked. Dragon Valley was indeed Dragon Valley. The words ‘rich and imposing’ were vividly portrayed.

After entering Dragon Palace, Ao Yan told Jiang Xiaobai to stay where he was and then walked out.

Jiang Xiaobai began to size the place up.

“Boy, come here and have a drink with me.”

A kind voice was heard and Jiang Xiaobai suddenly looked at a corner of the Dragon Palace.

He saw a fat and short old man with a ruddy face, white beard, and white eyebrows waving at him.

He didn’t look at Jiang Xiaobai with contempt. On the contrary, he really looked like a grandpa next door.

Jiang Xiaobai went over to him.

“You have a good tolerance for alcohol. You drank one round yesterday and nothing happened to you,” the short and fat old man said with a chuckle and poured a glass of wine for the two of them.

The fragrance of the wine permeated the entire hall.

However, Jiang Xiaobai didn’t have the intention to drink it carefully.

“You must be joking, old man. How can I compare to you with this little tolerance of mine?” Jiang Xiaobai said with an embarrassed smile.

He knew that the person in front of him, whether it was his strength or his position in Dragon Valley, was not something he could imagine.

In the face of such an existence, he still had to be careful with his words and actions.

The short and fat old man nodded with a faint smile. He downed the fine wine in his cup in one gulp and let out a comfortable sound.

“This old man is not a person who likes to beat around the bush. I heard from Yan’er that you can refine pills with a mortal body. Moreover, you can refine a pill that can dissolve the Fire Poison?”

Upon hearing this, Jiang Xiaobai’s expression turned solemn. It was about to come.

He immediately nodded and said, “That’s true.”

Ao Yuanwu narrowed his eyes. “Do you know the purpose and significance of the pills you refined?”

“I don’t know.”

“To tell you clearly, it’s very important. It’s even more important to my Dragon Valley.”

As he spoke, Ao Yuanwu continued to observe Jiang Xiaobai’s expression.

He saw that Jiang Xiaobai did not show much surprise, but was very calm.

“This time, I did not ask you to come just for the matter of refining pills. Let me ask you, do you want to cultivate immortality?”

This time, Jiang Xiaobai’s face revealed a look of surprise and shock.

Good heavens, just because of a Cleansing Pill, this old man wanted to really make him a member of Dragon Valley?

It should be impossible, but he could only pretend to be shocked.

“I… can also cultivate immortality?”

“Of course.” Ao Yuanwu smiled faintly. “As long as you are willing, Dragon Valley can nurture you. After all, how can a person who can refine pills not have cultivation?”

“Of course I’m willing, a hundred times willing!”

Jiang Xiaobai scratched his head. “But I’ve heard that cultivating immortality requires talent. I don’t know if my talent is good enough.”

“Show me.”

Ao Yuanwu grabbed Jiang Xiaobai’s wrist and felt it. He found out that Jiang Xiaobai had an upper-grade spirit root!

Spirit roots were divided into lower, middle, and upper grades, as well as divine, immortal, and supreme grades!

The higher the grade of the spirit root, the better the talent for cultivation!

An upper-grade spirit root was considered a very good talent for a mortal like Jiang Xiaobai.

“Aptitude is not bad. In the future, you have to practice hard..”
