Xue Kong soaked in the bathtub for a long time, and some of the blood had coagulated and was difficult to clean, especially the part on his hair, which had almost turned into lumps.
Xue Kong only had the ambition to live forever in his heart, and had no interest in the flesh and skin of foreigners. This was not only true for foreigners, but also for himself. Since it was difficult to clean, he simply cut off his black hair.
When he walked out of the bathtub, he had turned into a handsome young man with short hair.
A muscular and muscular body stepped out of the bathtub, and light red blood flowed down his body along the grooves formed by the muscle lines.
Amidst the sound of rustling, Xue Kong grabbed two storage bags and a beast-breeding bag on the table beside him, pulled down the brocade cloth on the wooden rack, dried himself, and returned to bed.
He slapped his storage bag with his right hand, took out a new black robe and put it on.
His eyes were calm as he put Zhang Xiang's unopenable storage bag into his arms, tied his own storage bag and beast-breeding bag around his waist, and sat cross-legged on the bed.
Take a deep breath, practice your cultivation, and heal the injuries in your body.
This time, he was chased all the way by Hao Miaojun and suffered unprecedented serious injuries.
It is always better to be cautious. Before planning to do something, he wants to restore himself to his prime condition. Xue Kong plans to stay in seclusion in this room and will not step out of the door until all his injuries are healed.
Fortunately, he had a lot of healing pills on him, and nearly ten thousand spirit stones accumulated.
This process lasted for three days.
Three days later, Xue Kong sat cross-legged on the bed, his eyes suddenly opened and closed, a gleam of light flashed in his eyes, and then gradually became calm.
Xue Kong's face was no longer pale, but rosy and gentle.
All the injuries in his body recovered, and his cultivation had even improved slightly due to long-term use of elixirs. However, he still had a long way to go before achieving a breakthrough in his cultivation.
Divine consciousness poured into the storage bag.
Xue Kong found a strange object and took it out, making it float in front of him.
The thing was the size of a thumb, floating in the air and emitting a faint blood color. If you scan it with your spiritual sense, you can see that it has four fragile short legs and its eyes are closed, as if it is sleeping.
It looks like some kind of insect, with no mouth and only a mouth full of dense teeth exposed.
At first glance, it looks ferocious.
Xue Kong shrugged his nose and smelled a bloody smell on this thing.
He looked thoughtful as he thought to himself, "This thing looks like a demon, but it has no life force within it. It's kept alive in that upside-down dragon and phoenix storage bag, so it looks like an artifact."
"That Dianlongdaofeng once said that they have a treasure that, if activated by the Great Perfection of Qi Condensation, can kill a seriously injured cultivator in the early stage of Foundation Establishment. This must be it."
There was another point that puzzled Xue Kong.
When he tried to use his spiritual sense to mark this object, he was unable to do anything.
Whether it is a magic weapon or a pet, it needs to be branded to establish a connection before it can be used or activated, but this thing cannot be branded.
"Could it be that... after this thing is activated, it will attack randomly without distinguishing between friend and foe?" Xue Kong had this absurd guess in his mind.
When the dragon and the phoenix faced Xue Kong, they had almost no time to react. The dragon was killed instantly by Xue Kong, and the phoenix had no time to react either, and had its neck broken by Xue Kong.
The two of them only took out one of their magic weapons and died on the spot.
The two of them had no chance to use this insect. Xue Kong had no reference and could only put it back into the storage bag temporarily, remembering in his heart that he would never use it until the last moment.
Afterwards, Xue Kong took out the red-bearded dragon egg.
The dragon egg was still the same as before, with dim lava patterns on the surface, without any changes. There was no trace of life in the egg, and the red-bearded dragon cub had not yet formed.
Looking at the dragon egg, Xue Kong thought to himself, "Zhang Xiang and Hao Miaojun fought tooth and nail for this dragon egg, even risking their lives. They just wanted to raise a decent pet."
"The Red-bearded Flood Dragon is indeed powerful. Not only has its breakthrough in cultivation reached a level equivalent to a human cultivator's tribulation, but it can also cast spells afterwards. If it continues to improve its cultivation, perhaps even more astonishing changes will occur."
"Perhaps, it is not impossible to transform this Jiaolong into a real dragon."
"but……"
Xue Kong suddenly sneered: "People in this world are lost, obsessed with the power of external things, and ignore the essence of power."
"Whether it's your own pet or a magical weapon, these are all external things. Relying on them is no different from relying on others, except that you won't be betrayed."
“Little do we know that all external things can be lost.”
"My magic weapon and pet could be trapped or taken away. What would I be able to rely on then?"
"Only your own strength is everything!"
“No one can take it away!”
"I took this red-bearded dragon egg not to raise a red-bearded dragon, but... to eat it!"
"I will use the essence of this egg to transform it into my own cultivation and strengthen myself."
This is what Xue Kong really thinks. If vitality has appeared in the egg, he will also find a better cooking method and eat the cub that has condensed into a physical form.
Since there is no vitality now, it will be even simpler. Just open the egg and swallow it.
Thinking of this, Xue Kong grabbed the dragon egg in the air with his left hand, and slapped the storage bag with his right hand. Three heavenly swords flew out at the same time, circled in the air, and then slashed towards the dragon egg one after another.
One knife!
The dragon egg trembled violently, but there was no crack on the surface.
Two knives!
It's the same again, exactly the same.
Three knives!
The dragon egg trembled more violently, but still showed no signs of breaking.
"So hard?" Xue Kong had expected it to be hard. After all, it helped him block Hao Miaojun's attacks many times during his escape.
But who would have thought that the three Heavenly Swords struck the same spot in succession, but not even a trace of a crack was left.
“Come again!”
The three heavenly swords slashed at the dragon egg again.
"Four swords..."
“Eight swords…”
"Seventeen knives..."
"twenty……"
The Heavenly Sword slashed at the dragon egg again and again, each time hitting the same spot, like hammering iron, sparks flew.
Even if this was a defensive magic weapon, it would have been shattered long ago.
But the dragon egg was still the same as usual, its surface was as smooth as new, without a trace of debris.
Xue Kong frowned slightly, put away the dragon egg directly, placed the three heavenly swords in front of him, and looked at them carefully. Fortunately, there was no crack on the heavenly swords, and they were still brand new.
"The Heavenly Sword is not powerful enough. If I can upgrade it to a mid-grade earth-level magic weapon, I will definitely be able to cut open this egg." Xue Kong knew this very well. This dragon egg was laid by a red-bearded dragon in the foundation-building stage, and no ordinary magic weapon could damage it.
But the earth-level mid-grade magic weapon is different.
"I don't know how to refine weapons. I'm still missing an important material to advance to the mid-level earth-grade, but I don't know where it is." Xue Kong murmured, "Guanglan City has everything. I'm sure I can find that material here."
Thinking of this, Xue Kong put away the Heavenly Sword and stepped out of the room for the first time in three days.
