118 Merit and Virtue
As he spoke, a short blade suddenly appeared in his hand. He unleashed a powerful attack immediately. An icy sword shadow, accompanied by boundless chill, surged forth. Three zhang above the dragon, a blast of cold air descended from the sky. The courtyard suddenly became unbearably cold.
The ethereal moon blades were in hand. One blade, icy and ethereal, intensified the chill in the air. The dragon was quickly frozen in place.
Then, the two approached the dragon. They gently touched its scales. They were incredibly hard; Piaomiaoyue even tried to lightly scratch them with her treasured sword, leaving only faint marks.
He was extremely surprised. 'His twin swords were incredibly sharp.'
At this moment, Wei Lan, Jie Huayu, Fanghua, and Wei Qinghui also slowly walked over. Although the dragon was dead, its imposing aura still lingered. The group felt a chill run down their spines.
He Chen, observing everyone's reactions, smiled inwardly. 'The dragon's scales are exceptionally hard; they could be used to make armor. The dragon's hide is also incredibly soft yet tough, impervious to swords and blades. I can make an inner armor for each of you.'
Everyone was deeply moved upon hearing this. Yun Su Ren then carefully tested the scales again. The others also came up and observed closely. They discovered that the dragon's scales were indeed difficult to remove.
Yun Su thought for a moment and exchanged a glance with Piao Miao Yue.
He said, "Brother, the scales of this dragon are far too hard. Although Sister Yunqing's army can forge simple magical artifacts, dragon scales are extremely precious. This is such a waste."
I'd like to hire someone to help. However, my brother might have to pay them something.
She smiled slightly and said casually, "Sure, Su'er, go and ask someone to come and help. Of course, you should pay them."
At that moment, Piaomiaoyue thought of someone. She asked softly, 'Is it "Suixin Zhuke Qiaotiangong"?'
Yun Su replied softly, "Sister guessed right away."
Piaomiaoyue gently touched her forehead. She chuckled, "Exquisite craftsmanship is indeed strange and unusual, and you're quite eloquent. But your skill is undeniable. As for the payment, I reckon Shenlang will have a headache about it then."
He Chen smiled simply and said, "It's good that you can get up. It's alright if you can't ask him. If not, we can just pay him. We can also have someone forge armor."
Yun Su smiled and said, "It's alright, brother. Such good casting materials, although not one in ten thousand, are still very rare."
Especially in recent years, many powerful demons have gone into hiding, hiding deep in the mountains. Flood dragons rarely appear either. And true dragons, needless to say, are even rarer.
Then she thought of something and said, "But if my sister goes out, it's usually hard to find her."
I'll get in touch with them.
Piaomiaoyue said, "Why don't I make the contact? I happen to have something to report to my superiors." After saying that, she winked at Yunsu.
He said softly, "The matter of your annihilation of the Ten Thousand Swords Manor, sir, also needs to be reported to your superiors. And the actions of the One Qi Alliance... they don't seem like those of a righteous sect. Moreover, you have slain the dragon; you should seize this opportunity and not let it go to waste."
He thought to himself, 'Things on the border are so complicated right now, with so many forces involved, and Shen Lang's contributions are also a factor. The Fire Spirit Fruit and Thunder Spirit Fruit need to be exchanged as soon as possible.'
Yun Su nodded in agreement.
Time flew by. After observing the dragon, everyone was just about to put it away again when the thought of eating meat came up again, so they asked, "Would you like to roast the dragon meat for lunch?"
"Okay, okay!" everyone cheered.
Just then, Rou Rou seemed hungry again. She pulled out a long, oval-shaped food item from somewhere, resembling a sweet potato. It was washed clean, but still looked raw.
He addressed the crowd, "Would you like to try some? It's very sweet."
Everyone looked at it curiously and asked, "What is this? We've never seen it before!"
Upon closer inspection, He Chen realized it was a sweet potato. Sweet potatoes were very common in dreams, and most people didn't eat them.
However, this species doesn't seem to exist here. Judging from Piaomiaoyue's reaction... could it be that it's not found in other cities either?
So he asked, 'What is this? Do other cities have it?'
Those who interpret the language of flowers, the ethereal moon, etc., mostly shake their heads. 'We've never seen this anywhere else.'
Rou Rou explained, "I found this by chance in the mountains. The leaves are edible too. Sometimes when I'm hungry, I'll eat a little. But I like the root and stem the most. They get fragrant and sweet after being left for a while."
After saying that, she took out several more and asked, "Sisters, would you like to try some?"
Everyone took it and examined it carefully. Rou Rou had already started eating.
He Chen looked inside and realized it was indeed a sweet potato. He immediately called out softly, "Don't eat the ones you have for now. Try feeding them and see if they can survive."
Wanqing and Rourou were stunned. A thought struck the other women.
Yun Su asked softly, "Rou Rou, is this thing easy to grow?"
Rou Rou thought for a moment and said, "It seems to be relatively easy for them to survive. This food grows along the mountain path. As long as there is water and soil, it seems they can survive."
And many small animals also love to eat this.
Then she added, "I think I ate this often before I transformed into human form. I even shared it with my other friends."
And this stuff is very easy to grow. I planted a lot before I left.
Piaomiaoyue asked, "Is this still a long time?"
Rou Rou answered affirmatively, "Yes, it is. It's still growing."
Everyone nodded slightly.
He Chen said, "Rou Rou, since you're the one who discovered it, why don't you give this thing a name?"
Rou Rou thought for a moment and said, "How about we call it sweet potato? It grows in the mountains. The root is edible."
She nodded gently. "Rou Rou, could you please plant some taro like these? See if they can survive here. Tomorrow I'll have Steward Weng allocate a plot of land for you."
Then what came to mind? 'Should I plant a few for now? It's unclear, but it's probably possible at this time of year. Just in case it fails. We're out of seeds.'
"Okay." He agreed immediately, patting his chest confidently. He was very happy. He could do what he loved again.
In the instant the answer was given, suddenly, the sky above was filled with swirling winds and billowing clouds. A thousand horses galloped, and colorful clouds stretched for thirty thousand miles! The changes were extraordinary!
Three feet above Rou Rou's head, a dazzling purple aura suddenly appeared, illuminating the entire courtyard and leaving everyone in awe!
Suddenly, a Qilin appeared from the void. Purple merit energy, like a cascading spring, flowed swiftly and gently into Rou Rou's head!
A small portion of the merit energy flowed into everyone present, including the Qilin that had just appeared.
Instantly, everyone felt as if they were bathed in spiritual energy, a thousand times more comfortable.
I can clearly feel the improvement in all aspects of myself, both tangible and intangible. I feel that my physical constitution, spiritual awareness, talents, and opportunities have all improved significantly.
In an instant, everyone was enveloped in an aura of merit.
Piaomiaoyue, Yunsu, Weilan, Jiehuayu, Biyunyan, Tufanghua, Wanqing, Rourou, Weiqinghui, instantly felt that their own breakthroughs were easier.
A joy that comes from the soul.
