Jiaolong really couldn't imagine why he would be beaten into that state in the end, given that he was in a good position to dominate the world.

He also suspected that Luo Yan was lying, but there were many detailed details here. On the one hand, there were so many that they didn't seem to be made up. On the other hand, based on the Jiaolong's understanding of the tribe, those Jiaolong people were indeed capable of doing those things.

Thinking of this, his mood became very bleak.

He could guess the rest of the story without Luo Yan telling him: the royal family that once ruled the world suddenly fell one day, and the throne was usurped by someone else. It was almost unnecessary to guess what the usurper would do to suppress the previous dynasty.

It must be a death sentence!

"Senior?" Luo Yan reminded him in secret.

"Hmm." Jiaolong suppressed his worries and asked casually, "Human kid, why do you think the Jiaolong clan declined?"

"Everything from prosperity to decline, and everything from adversity to prosperity, is the law of nature's cycle." Luo Yan replied, "Even if Emperor Yinglong's expedition had not failed, it would have declined sooner or later due to something else."

"......Alas." The dragon had no way to refute this statement. He could only sigh deeply and blow out countless cold air.

Shi Liuli had no idea that the man and the dragon were communicating in secret. He only talked about a hundred thousand gods and demons attacking Penglai. Suddenly he heard the old dragon sigh, and doubts immediately filled his heart.

Our Penglai is being besieged by the Demon Cult, why is this old dragon sighing?

Of course, she would not understand that the old dragon sighed for Penglai. She only heard the dragon say:

"Well, I roughly know it. Now I will tell you the key to refining dragon blood."

He then explained the key points of the refining technique in detail: it turned out that dragon blood was too strong, so it was necessary to apply multiple layers of seals before taking it. After swallowing it into the dantian, the seals would be slowly released, one layer at a time, as it was digested.

The most critical step is when to release the seal.

If it is dissolved too quickly, the highly toxic dragon blood will burst out, and the cultivator will be forced to spit out the dragon blood and fail at best. In serious cases, the poison will spread to the cultivator's limbs and bones, destroying the body and beyond the reach of even gods.

But if you are too slow in releasing it, the dragon blood will become inactive after being sealed for too long, and that won’t work.

Shi Liuli listened to him talking for a long time. In short, it is better to go slow than fast, but not too slow either. She judged that there are one, two, three, four, five points that can unlock the seal... If other cultivators were here, they would probably feel dizzy after listening to what he said, but Miss Shi was not stupid. She tried hard to memorize it and managed to remember about 80% of it.

Luo Yan also had the ability of Hearing Thousands of Things, having a photographic memory, and the ability of Ajing's scanning, so after Jiaolong finished speaking, he repeated it verbally to Shi Liuli, and thus the 80% to 90% became 100%.

Shi Liuli sat cross-legged, swallowed the dragon blood, and began to try the refining method.

Luo Yan was guarding her beside him, and he heard Jiaolong suddenly ask:

"You are obviously a human, why do you know so much about dragons?"

"This is not within the scope of our transaction." Luo Yan smiled and replied.

"It's okay, I just asked casually." Jiaolong showed a very lonely expression and said, "I once hated them for forgetting me and cursed them to die a miserable death, but when I heard the news that my tribe was in such a miserable state, in the end, I felt nothing but sadness, and not the slightest sense of satisfaction."

"Perhaps it's a good thing that I'm trapped here... At least I don't have to watch my clan degenerate into such a state."

Seeing that the dragon was dejected with drooping eyelids, Luo Yan didn't know whether to comfort him for a moment.

About half an hour later, Shi Liuli opened his eyes and wanted to speak, but he burped and a cloud of blood mist came out of his stomach.

Luo Yan was slightly surprised and quickly scanned his wife's body, but he did not find anything unusual, except that most of the golden elixir had already dissolved.

I think if I practice for a while longer, I will be able to successfully pass the Youwei stage and reach the great perfection of the Jindan realm.

Thinking of this, Luo Yan suddenly felt a little uneasy. He felt that he seemed to have paid too much attention to Shi Liuli's cultivation progress and neglected Junior Sister Xu and Senior Sister An.

But then I thought, Junior Sister Xu has the support of the Ziwei Sect Master and the Tiannan Xu Family, and Senior Sister An has Su Jian's protection, so how could these two lack cultivation resources? Only my poor Liuli wife, without the support of her father-in-law and mother-in-law, can only rely on herself for everything.

The husband treats his wife just like parents treat their children. It is normal for him to be partial to his wife in some aspects.

For example, the eldest son worked hard to become a corporate executive, while the second son is delivering food or doing odd jobs and can't even find a partner. If the parents support both children and even distribute the inheritance equally, then these parents are probably out of their minds.

If Miss Shi could suddenly rise to fame like Witch Jiang, I wouldn't be so biased towards her.

Thinking of this, Luo Yan felt at ease again.

After spitting out the excess blood and energy, Shi Liuli did not rush to stand up, but saluted the dragon again:

"Thank you for your support, senior."

"Well." Jiaolong didn't even open his eyes, but just said lightly, "Finish the rest, and then you can leave."

Shi Liuli thought that he wanted her to continue talking about the history of the cultivation world. In addition, his cultivation had just increased dramatically, so he put aside his previous doubts for the time being and continued to fulfill his promise.

On the other hand, Luo Yan also told the dragon in detail the whereabouts and outcomes of the several survivors of the dragon clan after they left the imperial capital.

"I see." After hearing that some of the tribe members sought shelter in Canglong, while others were practicing isolationism in Beiming Fanyang, the dragon probably had an idea in mind. "In any case, as long as the bloodline is passed on, it's not too bad after all."

This dragon has lowered its psychological expectations to "continuous bloodline inheritance", which makes Luo Yan feel a little bit pitiful.

Suddenly, an idea flashed in his mind, and he asked the other party:

"Senior, if there is a hybrid of the Jiaolong clan and other races, and the bloodlines conflict with each other, how should we resolve it?"

"No need to solve it." Jiaolong replied lazily, "For demon bloodline, the strong prey on the weak. In most cases, the higher-level bloodline will devour the lower-level bloodline. If the levels of the two are almost equal, it depends on how much proportion is inherited from the parents. In short, multiple different bloodlines will not coexist for too long. Generally, they will be assimilated into one within five years after birth, leaving only one demon bloodline."

"What if one possesses all three bloodlines at the same time, and the other two unite to resist the first one?" Luo Yan asked unwillingly.

"How is that possible?" The dragon subconsciously retorted, "First of all, we are all born by our parents, so we only have two bloodlines at most. Where does the third come from? Oh, if the father or mother has two bloodlines at the same time for some reason, it is not impossible... But if these three bloodlines fight each other, the individual will die within a few hours after birth. Why should we consider how to solve the problem?"

You are right, but you don’t know there is such a thing as the Heaven-Repairing Stone… Luo Yan asked to the end, repeating the question for the third time:

“Assuming there is such an individual, how can we solve it?”

The dragon seemed a little impatient and replied:

"Use the Dragon Transformation Return Formation to fuse the three bloodlines into a new bloodline."

"Then this Dragon Transformation Returning to Origin Formation..."

"Do you think I have the ability to set up a formation for you?" The dragon sneered and asked him, "This formation is a secret of our clan. It requires many precious resources and cannot be done by an individual."

"Since you know our Jiaolong clan well, why don't you just go and ask the clan directly?"
