Upon hearing Lü Chunyang's words, Li Jing remained calm. Such a black python king was indeed nothing to the Eastern Heavenly Dynasty.

With the strength of the Eastern Heavenly Dynasty, if they wanted to eliminate this Black Python King, they could easily kill it by simply sending a large army.

Even though this black python king contains dragon blood, with its cultivation at the peak of the ninth level of the True God Realm, it is definitely not weaker than a Divine Realm cultivator who has just stepped into the Divine King Realm.

Even the Black Python King had no choice but to bow down before the army!

"However, this black python king seems to have reached a critical moment in its transformation recently."

“Thunder rumbles throughout the entire Meteor Dragon Lake every day.”

"This has attracted many experts from the Eastern Heavenly Dynasty, who want to subdue the Black Python King after it officially transforms into a dragon."

After a moment's consideration, Lü Chunyang said, "Among them are Shao Haoling, the thirteenth prince of the Eastern Heavenly Dynasty; Chen Chuan, the heir of the Marquis of Zhennan of the Eastern Heavenly Dynasty; Duanmu Yuan, the newly appointed third-rank scholar of the Eastern Heavenly Dynasty and a seventh-rank compiler of the Hanlin Academy of the Eastern Heavenly Dynasty; and Cai You, the third son of the Grand Tutor of the Eastern Heavenly Dynasty."

In addition, there is Liang Yifeng, a true disciple of the Thunder Holy Sect, from the Eastern Heavenly Dynasty's sacred ground.

"A true disciple of the Holy Land?"

Li Jing raised an eyebrow and said.

He naturally knew that the Thunder Holy Sect was a sacred place within the Eastern Heavenly Dynasty and was subservient to it.

This Thunder Holy Sect is like a state religion within the Eastern Heavenly Dynasty.

The sect leader of the Thunder Holy Sect holds the position of Imperial Preceptor in the Eastern Heavenly Dynasty.

This is the second being at the Divine Emperor level in the Eastern Heavenly Dynasty.

He was truly the second most important person in the entire Eastern Imperial Dynasty.

Even the Grand Tutor of the Eastern Heavenly Dynasty and the Marquis of Zhennan of the Eastern Heavenly Dynasty are far inferior to this one.

However, this person is also an extremely low-profile figure, almost never appearing in the court of the Eastern Heavenly Dynasty, and rarely even leaving the gates of the Thunder Holy Sect.

Lu Chunyang nodded and said, "The Thunder Holy Sect is not like other holy lands, which have many holy sons and daughters."

The entire Thunder Holy Sect has only one Holy Son.

This holy son, named Li Fan, surpassed all the contemporary disciples of the Thunder Holy Sect and was established as the holy son.

Therefore, within the Thunder Holy Sect, even those who reach the God King realm can only be true disciples, and cannot become the second or third Holy Son.

This Liang Yifeng is the true disciple of the Thunder Holy Sect, second only to the Holy Son Li Fan.

Rumor has it that he had already reached the peak of the ninth level of the True God Realm five years ago.

Even reaching the God-King level now is not impossible.

"I see."

Upon hearing Lü Chunyang's words, Li Jing's face showed a look of sudden realization.

If he is the second most powerful figure in the Thunder Holy Sect after the Holy Son Li Fan, then it's quite normal.

It's quite normal for a holy land like the Thunder Holy Sect to produce two top-tier geniuses.

"Is there any definite information regarding the timing of the Black Python King's transformation?"

Li Jing looked at Lü Chunyang, who had stopped speaking, and asked.

"Your Highness, I have a guess about the timing of the Black Python King's transformation, but I'm not sure if it's true."

Lu Chunyang hesitated for a moment before saying, "It is said that the reason why the Black Python King has not yet transformed into a dragon is that it is waiting for an opportunity."

"oh?"

"What opportunity?"

Li Jing said with great interest.

"In the Meteorite Dragon Lake, there is a spiritual herb called Dragon Blood Grass."

"This kind of dragon blood grass is a specialty of Meteorite Dragon Lake. It is said to have been nurtured by absorbing dragon blood."

“Every ten years on June 13th, a batch of dragon blood grass will ripen.”

"The grade of Dragon Blood Grass is not fixed, but depends on the amount of dragon blood it contains."

"It has appeared many times, from the lowest grade three spiritual medicine to the middle grade divine medicine."

Lu Chunyang paused for a moment, then continued, "And this time, it is said that a top-grade divine medicine will be born."

The Black Python King was waiting for this top-grade divine herb to be born, hoping to consume it and thus successfully pass the tribulation, officially transforming from a python into a dragon, becoming a true dragon.

The weakest grade three spiritual herbs are those cultivated by cultivators at the Cave Heaven Realm level, grade two spiritual herbs are those cultivated by cultivators at the Dharma Aspect Realm level, and grade one spiritual herbs are those cultivated by cultivators at the Celestial Human Realm level.

Above the first-grade spiritual medicine is the divine medicine!

Divine medicines are divided into four grades: inferior, medium, superior, and supreme.

Low-grade divine medicines are generally cultivated by cultivators at the demigod level, mid-grade divine medicines are cultivated by cultivators at the illusory god level, high-grade divine medicines are cultivated by cultivators at the true god level, and top-grade divine medicines are cultivated by cultivators at the god king level.

In fact, let alone top-grade divine medicines, even mid-grade divine medicines are extremely rare cultivation resources in the Eastern Wilderness. Obtaining even one is incredibly difficult.

"Dragon Blood Grass, a top-grade divine medicine?"

A glint of light flashed in Li Jing's eyes. This level of dragon blood grass would be of great help to him.

"Whether it's a mid-grade divine medicine or a high-grade divine medicine, Dragon Blood Grass can only be found in the deepest part of Meteor Dragon Lake."

"And the deeper you go into Meteor Dragon Lake, the more powerful black pythons you will find."

"Although there is only one Black Python King at the peak of the ninth level of the True God Realm in Meteor Dragon Lake."

"But that doesn't mean there's only one True God Realm level black python in the entire Meteor Dragon Lake."

"There are more than twenty black pythons at the True God Realm level in Meteor Dragon Lake."

"However, these black pythons are weaker than the Black Python King, and the highest cultivation level they have reached is only the peak of the seventh level of the True God Realm."

"Most of them are in the early stage of True God Realm, that is, between the first and third levels."

"Black pythons that can reach the fourth level of the True God Realm are already extremely rare."

"I have heard that the thirteenth prince of the Eastern Heavenly Dynasty, Shao Haoling, and his group may not necessarily be after the Black Python King. They may very well be after the Dragon Blood Grass, a top-grade divine medicine."

Lu Chunyang said with a serious expression.

Li Jing smiled calmly and said, "Whether they came for the Dragon Blood Grass or for the transformed Black Python King, it doesn't matter."

It has nothing to do with us.

We have only one goal.

That's dragon's blood grass!

Whether it's mid-grade or high-grade dragon blood grass, we'll take it all!

He didn't really have much interest in the Black Python King.

Even if this black python king were to truly transform into a dragon, it wouldn't matter much to him.

Can a dragon pulling a carriage be more stylish than his golden dragon pulling a carriage?

Although the golden dragon in the Heavenly Emperor's chariot is not a real golden dragon, a fake golden dragon is still a golden dragon and possesses the same powerful strength.

"Understood."

Nangong Yijian spoke to Lü Chunyang with a respectful expression.

"Qingyan understands."

Feng Qingyan said softly.

"Someone's coming."

Li Jing stared at the courtyard with a strange expression.

A handsome young man dressed in white, with the air of a scholar, walked towards the courtyard where Li Jing and the others were, carrying a basket of melons and fruits.
