Wedding Night: I Am Forced To Marry A Dragon Girl - Chapter 9
Translator: Dragon Boat Translation Editor: Dragon Boat Translation
Mortals refining pills was simply a joke in the world.
Refining pills was not something that could be done just by starting a fire and filling the pill furnace with medicinal ingredients.
Even if one did not have a cultivation base, one had to have a strong soul to do it. Otherwise, it would be impossible to concoct pills.
“Oh, you mean this?”
“When I was a child, I was herding cows outside. I met a white-bearded old man. He looked at me and insisted that I was some kind of rare genius with unique bones. He forcefully stuffed me with a little book.”
“I guess it’s because of the little book. After reading it, I became muddle-headed and started to refine pills.”
Jiang Xiaobai’s face was calm. He was good at deceiving people.
Ao Yan raised her eyebrows and asked curiously, “Where’s that little book?”
“I lost it.”
“You!”
Ao Yan almost vomited blood. She looked like she hated Jiang Xiaobai for failing to meet her expectations. She was so angry that she wanted to slap Jiang Xiaobai to death.
She had carefully examined Jiang Xiaobai just now and found that he did not have any spiritual energy on him.
Then, what Jiang Xiaobai said might be true.
Ao Yan also roughly understood what the little book that Jiang Xiaobai was talking about was.
It should be the so-called alchemy inheritance. However, Jiang Xiaobai probably did not know what it was when he was young.
In this way, it could be explained why a mortal could refine pills.
Looking at Jiang Xiaobai’s dumbfounded look, Ao Yan suddenly felt a sense of pity.
If only the book was still there.
But she also understood that this alchemy inheritance must have disappeared after only being used once.
Then, Ao Yan looked at Jiang Xiaobai again.
She had casually grabbed a treasure?
Maybe this was the will of heaven?
“It’s interesting. I’d like to see what else is special about you.”
Then, Ao Yan closed her eyes and sat cross-legged to cultivate.
The reason why she was able to obtain the top position in Dragon Valley was not only because of her bloodline, but also because of her painstaking cultivation day and night.
Otherwise, she would not have been able to keep her position amongst the younger generation and reach the strength that surpassed Ao Tianheng by two realms!
Early in the morning, when Jiang Xiaobai woke up, he found that there was no trace of Ao Yan in the room, so he got up and stretched.
He still had a lot of things to do.
Yesterday, he tricked his brother-in-law, which was one of his plans to gain a firm foothold.
Jiang Xiaobai’s goal was very simple. He had to build a good relationship with his brother-in-law, and it was also important to build a good relationship with Ao Yan. This woman was not bad, but the progress of the strategy could not be too fast.
If he took too big a step, it would easily drag him down.
Although he did not think that he could make his brother-in-law obey his every word, he had to at least do it so that the other party could stand on his side.
Of course, Jiang Xiaobai did not expect Ao Cheng to help him survive in a crisis. After all, individual strength could not go against the entire family.
What he needed was the current help of Ao Cheng. Only then could he do more things.
At the same time, he also had to face the troubles on the surface and in the dark.
While he was thinking, a round pill appeared in Jiang Xiaobai’s hand.
The pill emitted a terrifying aura, which was much stronger than the Cleansing Pill he refined.
And now, in Jiang Xiaobai’s hand was a Divine Heaven Origin Mixed Spirit Pill, a reward from the system yesterday.
He had the alchemy skills of Laojun, so he knew at a glance that this pill was mainly used to heal injuries, and its effects were extremely terrifying.
Perhaps this thing would come in handy.
At this time, Ao Yan suddenly pushed the door open and entered.
“Come with me,” Ao Yan said softly. Her attitude towards Jiang Xiaobai was still as cold as ever.
Jiang Xiaobai immediately stood up. He knew that this time, the matter was of great importance!
He followed Ao Yan out of the small courtyard and walked down the mountain.
Only after walking out of the small hill did Jiang Xiaobai discover what kind of place Dragon Valley was.
This place was the territory of a large family. The first place Jiang Xiaobai entered after he left the mountain was an incomparably large square. There were people coming and going to the square. These were all dragons.
There were also many buildings on the square. It was unknown what exactly they were used for.
They were surrounded by dozens of mountains. The Dragon clan usually lived on different mountain peaks according to their branches. Among them, a mountain peak that towered like the clouds was very eye-catching.
And their destination was precisely there.
Following Ao Yan in Dragon Valley, Jiang Xiaobai was like a naked woman, extremely eye-catching.
No matter where they went, there were pairs of eyes staring at him.
Their eyes were full of ridicule and disdain because he was the only mortal in Dragon Valley.
Soon, the two of them arrived at the mountainside of the tall mountain peak. Here, Jiang Xiaobai saw a grand hall, and along the way, there were small attics everywhere that emitted a terrifying aura.
This place should have gathered more than 90% of Dragon Valley’s experts.
Right above the grand hall, there was a plaque with two large golden words on it.
Dragon Palace!
A majestic and ancient aura blew over. Only then did Jiang Xiaobai realize that this Dragon Palace was actually a magic treasure!
He could not help but be shocked. Dragon Valley was indeed Dragon Valley. The words ‘rich and imposing’ were vividly portrayed.
After entering Dragon Palace, Ao Yan told Jiang Xiaobai to stay where he was and then walked out.
Jiang Xiaobai began to size the place up.
“Boy, come here and have a drink with me.”
A kind voice was heard and Jiang Xiaobai suddenly looked at a corner of the Dragon Palace.
He saw a fat and short old man with a ruddy face, white beard, and white eyebrows waving at him.
He didn’t look at Jiang Xiaobai with contempt. On the contrary, he really looked like a grandpa next door.
Jiang Xiaobai went over to him.
“You have a good tolerance for alcohol. You drank one round yesterday and nothing happened to you,” the short and fat old man said with a chuckle and poured a glass of wine for the two of them.
The fragrance of the wine permeated the entire hall.
However, Jiang Xiaobai didn’t have the intention to drink it carefully.
“You must be joking, old man. How can I compare to you with this little tolerance of mine?” Jiang Xiaobai said with an embarrassed smile.
He knew that the person in front of him, whether it was his strength or his position in Dragon Valley, was not something he could imagine.
In the face of such an existence, he still had to be careful with his words and actions.
The short and fat old man nodded with a faint smile. He downed the fine wine in his cup in one gulp and let out a comfortable sound.
“This old man is not a person who likes to beat around the bush. I heard from Yan’er that you can refine pills with a mortal body. Moreover, you can refine a pill that can dissolve the Fire Poison?”
Upon hearing this, Jiang Xiaobai’s expression turned solemn. It was about to come.
He immediately nodded and said, “That’s true.”
Ao Yuanwu narrowed his eyes. “Do you know the purpose and significance of the pills you refined?”
“I don’t know.”
“To tell you clearly, it’s very important. It’s even more important to my Dragon Valley.”
As he spoke, Ao Yuanwu continued to observe Jiang Xiaobai’s expression.
He saw that Jiang Xiaobai did not show much surprise, but was very calm.
“This time, I did not ask you to come just for the matter of refining pills. Let me ask you, do you want to cultivate immortality?”
This time, Jiang Xiaobai’s face revealed a look of surprise and shock.
Good heavens, just because of a Cleansing Pill, this old man wanted to really make him a member of Dragon Valley?
It should be impossible, but he could only pretend to be shocked.
“I… can also cultivate immortality?”
“Of course.” Ao Yuanwu smiled faintly. “As long as you are willing, Dragon Valley can nurture you. After all, how can a person who can refine pills not have cultivation?”
“Of course I’m willing, a hundred times willing!”
Jiang Xiaobai scratched his head. “But I’ve heard that cultivating immortality requires talent. I don’t know if my talent is good enough.”
“Show me.”
Ao Yuanwu grabbed Jiang Xiaobai’s wrist and felt it. He found out that Jiang Xiaobai had an upper-grade spirit root!
Spirit roots were divided into lower, middle, and upper grades, as well as divine, immortal, and supreme grades!
The higher the grade of the spirit root, the better the talent for cultivation!
An upper-grade spirit root was considered a very good talent for a mortal like Jiang Xiaobai.
“Aptitude is not bad. In the future, you have to practice hard..”
