However, on the way back, Lilia did not find anything else edible, but she made a huge discovery.
As we all know, dragons are very good at treasure hunting, which is a racial talent that every dragon possesses.
Although the thing was buried in the soil, Lilia still sensed its location, so she immediately started digging it with her two front paws.
As the soil was dug up, things were revealed.
Suddenly, Lilia's eyes widened.
It's a gem!
Lilia howled with excitement and sped up her digging efforts.
Soon she dug out the thing, revealing its true appearance.
This is a broken sword, with the blade cut off and only half of it left.
A blue gem the size of a pigeon egg was inlaid on the hilt of the sword.
If someone saw it, they would definitely feel extremely sad, because this sword is a precious, top-grade spiritual weapon, and it would be a real pity to see it broken like this.
However, although the sword is broken, it is not worthless, because the materials used to forge it are very precious. It can be sold in exchange for a lot of spirit stones, or it can be taken to a refiner for repair. Even if the grade is lowered after repair, it is still valuable.
However, Lilia was not interested in the sword and did not know its value. She was only interested in the sapphire inlaid on the sword.
She took the sword out of the pit and placed it on the ground, then she stretched out her two front paws and pressed it on it, biting the sapphire off with her teeth.
Perhaps because it had been buried in the soil for many years, the sapphire was covered with a lot of dirt. Lilia did not mind the dirtiness, but held it in her mouth and ran excitedly towards her nest.
As for the sword, she didn't even look at it.
To Lilia, it was just a piece of ugly iron lump, nothing like the beautiful gem.
Fortunately, no one saw it, otherwise she would have been laughed at for her lack of taste.
Compared with the sword body, the gem inlaid on it is just an ordinary item. Apart from being beautiful, it has no value at all. The price is also very cheap. A low-grade spirit stone can buy several gems like this.
The broken sword she threw away could even be exchanged for hundreds of such gems.
Lilia didn't know that the iron lump she threw away was valuable, but even if she knew, what would it matter? She didn't like such an ugly thing.
Things that don't catch her eye are worthless to her, so she doesn't want them.
She came to a small pond with the gem in her mouth, spit it out and put it into the water to wash it.
As the stains on the gem are cleaned, the gem reveals its true appearance.
The color of the gem is a bright blue hue, as deep as the night sky, unique and charming, which fascinates Lilia.
"How beautiful!" Lilia exclaimed.
She happily picked it up with her paws and admired it for a long time, then walked happily towards the cave.
After returning to the cave, she placed the sapphire in the nest together with several smooth and beautiful stones she picked up in the woods. Then she lay down, facing the sapphire with her big head, staring at it.
Originally, those stones were quite nice-looking. They were the most beautiful stones that she had carefully selected. But now, after being compared with this sapphire, those stones were simply too ugly to be looked at.
Lilia used to like them very much, but now that she has such a beautiful sapphire, she can no longer see them. Her heart and eyes are filled with only this beautiful blue gem.
The more Lilia looked at it, the more she liked it. From time to time, she would stretch out a paw and touch it gently, as if she had got a beloved toy and couldn't let it go.
Only when she was tired of playing did she use her claws to pull the sapphire under her belly. Not minding the discomfort, she just kept it under her body, closed her eyes with a satisfied look on her face, and fell asleep.
Today was probably the happiest day for Lilia since she came here. Not only did she eat the fruits she had eaten before, but she also got a beautiful blue gem.
And this time, she slept particularly soundly.
Since she was born, she has been sleeping in a nest paved with various gold, silver and jewels, accompanying them every day.
But since she came here, she not only couldn't see her parents, but also couldn't see her beloved babies. She was so sad that she couldn't even sleep well.
Although such a gem cannot be compared with her home filled with gems and gold coins, it is extremely precious to her now.
Because this is the only gem she owns now.
What's more, for her, anything shiny and golden is her favorite.
Not only Lilia, but all the dragons in the entire dragon clan are the same as Lilia.
If Lilia was not her parents' beloved child and they felt guilty about her, they would not have been willing to give out so much gold, silver and jewelry to build a nest for her.
Although they owned mountains of gold, silver and jewelry, the gems and gold coins they used to build a nest for their daughter were just the tip of the iceberg, but it still made them feel sad for a long time.
You know, the dragons are extremely obsessed with the treasures they collected and are reluctant to take even one away, not to mention that the nest made for Lilia used more than one piece of jewelry, so they are naturally distressed and reluctant to part with it.
But since she was their most beloved child, even though it hurt, they still reluctantly took out some jewelry and made a small nest for Lilia.
