"The Ancestral Dragon's Reverse Scale - A Divine Object for Body Refinement (with a handwritten note by Wu Wei, the current Minister of Martial Arts)".
The explanation was as brief as ever, but it made Shen Qian pause in surprise.
If he were to exchange for this Ancestral Dragon's Reverse Scale, he would actually receive martial arts experience from Wu Wei.
"Old Wu is clearly hoping I'll redeem it!"
Shen Qian smacked his lips, still somewhat tempted.
Body tempering is an eternal pursuit in martial arts. Even martial artists who specialize in cultivating spiritual power cannot completely ignore the tempering of their physique.
Although it is still unknown how to use the Ancestral Dragon's Reverse Scale, since it is directly named "Body Refining Divine Object", it must be extraordinary.
However, at this moment, the Earl of Pingyang suddenly interjected, "Shenqian, this Ancestral Dragon's Reverse Scale may not be suitable for you."
"Why?" Shen Qian, who was calculating the number of Nine Heavens Tokens in his hand, asked in confusion upon hearing this.
The Earl of Pingyang said with a serious expression, “The Ancestral Dragon is the first divine dragon in the world, and is incomparably powerful. You can imagine how earth-shattering it would be if an existence of such a realm were to refine its body?”
"The Ancestral Dragon's Reverse Scale is such a precious divine object. Why would it have been sealed away in the Martial Arts Department's warehouse for so many years? There must be a reason for it."
"Ultimately, the problem lies in the fact that ordinary martial artists from the Mountain and Sea Realms simply cannot withstand the danger it brings, while for kings and nobles, this Ancestral Dragon's Reverse Scale is somewhat of a useless commodity..."
Hearing the description from the Earl of Pingyang, Shen Qian hesitated.
On one side was the strong hint from the Minister of Martial Arts, and on the other side was the serious admonition from the Earl of Pingyang. Neither side seemed to have any reason to lie to him.
"Isn't there any way to neutralize the side effects of the Ancestral Dragon's Reverse Scale?"
After much deliberation, Chen Qian asked, looking quite conflicted.
"As far as I know, if a human warrior has to withstand the power of the heavenly lightning brought by the Ancestral Dragon's reverse scale, there is only one way, and that is to find the legendary Yaochi Immortal Water."
"Only the abundant life force in the Jade Pool can barely neutralize the side effects of the heavenly lightning."
After finishing his sentence, the Marquis of Pingyang shook his head again, "The Jade Pool is said to be the abode of the Queen Mother of the West in ancient times. Not only is it impossible to find, but even if it could be found, it would probably have dried up long ago after countless years..."
Jade Pool Water?
After listening, Shen Qian frowned at first, but then a thought suddenly struck him, as if he had realized something.
Among the congratulatory gifts sent by Marquis Wuding a couple of days ago was a jar of an unknown liquid. At first, I thought it was wine, but after opening it, I found that it had no wine flavor.
Shen Qian looked again at the strong hints from Wu Wei in the written description, and couldn't help but have a strange expression.
Could it be...?
These two bigwigs had a tacit understanding all along?
