I Fabricated the Techniques, but my disciple really mastered them?

Chapter 398: Chapter 226 – We are battling, yet you are digging for Spiritual Medicine 1

The path within the cave was dark, narrow and long. The deeper they went, the more a sense of pressure built up.

Everyone was on high alert, quietly channeling their power within to protect themselves, ready for any sudden crisis that might occur.

The path tilted downward. By estimation, they seemed to have reached the swampy area now.

Suddenly, a dim light appeared ahead.

A wave of relief swept over the group, especially the lead martial artist. Invigorated, they quickened their pace.

The light got brighter as they emerged from the passage and entered a tomb decorated like a starlit sky.

“Moonlight stones, so many moonlight stones!”

“Legend has it that the Sky Azure Dragon is fond of moonlight stones. This place could really be its tomb!”

Many young prodigies were getting excited.

The moonlight stone, which the light resembled moonlight, is one of the lighting items used in the Ling Domain. Although moonlight stones are produced in the Azure Sea of Yuzhou, they are rare in Yuzhou.

Therefore, few people in Yuzhou use moonlight stones.

As soon as Xu Yan entered the tomb, he heightened his alert. Subtly, within a ten-foot radius around him, a Sword Intent was already in place.

The Sword Intent blended into the surroundings of the tomb, making it difficult for others to detect.

Around him, a tiny wind circled, the Sudden Wind Sword Intent was also deployed.

In the center of the massive tomb, there lay a gigantic dragon. In front of the dragon was a shrub approximately half a foot tall, with branches spiraling like a dragon and leaves of emerald green.

The Azure Dragon Tree!

On both sides of the sleeping dragon, a thin layer of brown vines grew, on which small fruits were grown.

The Dragon Eye Fruit!

” It’ s the Azure Dragon Tree!”

The young prodigies’ eyes sparkled.

“Dragon Eye Fruit!”

Sure enough, this was the tomb of the Sky Azure Dragon, otherwise, there wouldn’t be an Azure Dragon Tree and Dragon Eye Fruits. These were tier- three and tier-two spiritual medicines in Ling Domain. Though not the rarest, their scarcity contributed to their value.

The Azure Dragon Tree was rumored to strengthen the body. Even a mature martial artist could double their physical strength with it. And the Dragon Eye Fruit could fortify a divine soul, making the divine soul even more resilient. Once one breaks through to become a Refining God Heavenly Man, the condensed divine soul would be even stronger.

There were also rumors that the Dragon Eye Fruit could increase the success rate of breaking through to become a Refining God Heavenly Man.

Exactly for these reasons, and because these things were of no use to a Refining God Heavenly Man, it was agreed to let the young prodigies of different factions explore this place and compete with each other.

The quantity of the Dragon Eye Fruit was considerable, but there was only one Azure Dragon Tree. For a while, the atmosphere became tense among the prodigies.

Xu Yan appeared calm. He didn’t rush to collect the spiritual medicines. He was simply being cautious. Even if he was the most powerful one here, he preferred to let others explore first.

Gazing at the giant dragon, he realized that it looked like the coffin of the Sky Azure Dragon. However, the shape of the dragon was not perfect and bore some differences from the true form of a True Dragon.

Of course, he had never seen a real True Dragon before, it was just a feeling because this dragon didn’t have the sense of majesty that a True Dragon should have. His Descending Dragon Palm had already grasped the meaning of a dragon’s majesty.

All of a sudden, Xu Yan’s gaze solidified. He stared at the entrance of the tomb.

Just now, something seemed to have entered!

Because it hadn’t entered his Sword Intent’s range, he didn’t know exactly what it was.

“What a powerful stealth technique.”

Xu Yan grew cautious, his Sword Intent expanded a bit.

“The Azure Dragon Tree is mine, and I want three Dragon Eye Fruits.”

The young man from the Jade Spirit Sect declared indifferently.

His eyes landed on Shen Haizhou and then shifted to Xu Yan.

“I don’t have any objections.”

Shen Haizhou replied nonchalantly.

The rest of the prodigies remained silent for a moment, then nodded in agreement.

The Jade Spirit Sect, Yuzhou’s number one Spirit Sect, had both the background and the strength to make such a claim.

“You, go dig up the Azure Dragon Tree.”

The young man instructed a martial artist.

“Yes, sir!”

Although the martial artist was not directly under the young man’s command, he dared not to disobey. Such was the prestige of Yuzhou’s number one Spirit Sect.

He approached cautiously, no abnormality or danger appeared, and he sighed with relief, preparing to dig up the Azure Dragon Tree.

Suddenly, Xu Yan’s face tensed, but he didn’t speak or act.

Swish!

In a corner of the tomb, there seemed to be a flash of sword light, and in an instant, it breezed by the martial artist who was digging up the Azure Dragon Tree!

Thud!

The martial artist dropped dead!

“Be careful!”

“Who did that?”

The young prodigies all changed their expression sceptically.

Boom!

The atmosphere swelled, weapons at hand, alert towards all directions, each of them keeping their distance from each other.

The young man from the Jade Spirit Sect had a gloomy look on his face, a faint silver light circulating around him, a long, narrow knife in his hand emitting a cold light.

” Who attacked? Is this a provocation to my Jade Spirit Sect?”

The light was too swift, it disappeared in a blink. Everyone had relaxed their guard before and didn’t notice what the light was.

It seemed like a sword light?

“Do you care to explain?”

The Jade Spirit Sect’s young man looked at Xu Yan ominously.

Among the crowd, the only ones with this kind of strength were him, Xu Yan, and Shen Haizhou, and Xu Yan was the only one who practiced Sword Dao.

He was the most suspicious.

Xu Yan looked at him coldly, his eyes fell on his long knife, thoughtfully, “So this is the spiritual artifact unique to Ling Domain? Indeed, it is much stronger than precious artifacts.”
