#1024 - Scholar Dragon
Here, there are no rules or principles to speak of; strength is everything.
If you are strong, you can do whatever you want; if you are weak, you can only obediently wait for death.
Therefore, those cultivators in the Nascent Soul stage were all uneasy, their gazes towards Li Chengfeng filled with disgust and disdain.
However, Li Chengfeng seemed completely unconcerned with their gazes, simply standing aside indifferently, secretly calculating in his heart.
In fact, his excited mood was not feigned.
He had originally planned to refine magical treasures, and since True Person Yellow Dragon was also going to refine them, this provided him with a perfect opportunity to learn.
He could observe how True Person Yellow Dragon refined magical treasures, gleaning experience from it, and see if the methods were suitable for his own refining.
Even if they weren't suitable, he could still collect these materials and experiences for future use.
After all, he already had a mountain of treasures, and if he wanted to refine a flying sword, he could simply pick a few important treasures.
But he didn't want to be perfunctory; he wanted to do his best.
True Person Yellow Dragon naturally noticed the fear and disgust that the Nascent Soul stage cultivators held towards him, and he also noticed Li Chengfeng's unique attitude.
He chuckled inwardly, thinking that this kid probably didn't know the treacherousness and cruelty of the Land of Chaos, truly a complete fool. However, this was perfect for exploitation.
With a flash of遁光, his speed was extremely fast, like a bolt of lightning streaking across the sky, and he quickly arrived above a deep pool.
This was the infamous Dragon Pool of the Land of Chaos.
With a thought from True Person Yellow Dragon, the pool water suddenly began to swirl, as if being pulled by an invisible force.
Immediately afterwards, a scholar dressed in white flew out from the pool water.
This scholar was dressed as a Confucian scholar, with delicate features. If it weren't for the conspicuous horn between his eyebrows, people would really think he was a gentle and refined scholar.
He smiled and said to True Person Yellow Dragon, "Greetings, Fellow Daoist Yellow Dragon, greetings.
Please come in quickly. Has Fellow Daoist Iron Tower arrived as well? The three of us working together will definitely succeed in refining the treasure. When that time comes, I will definitely fulfill all the promises I made."
True Person Yellow Dragon let out a hearty laugh, as if to cast all his worries to the back of his mind, and then the two of them jumped into the crystal-clear pool without hesitation.
The pool water was like the purest spring water from the mountains, carrying a trace of coldness, yet containing an indescribable water spiritual energy, as if it could cleanse one's soul.
The dozen or so Nascent Soul stage cultivators led by True Person Yellow Dragon now had drastically changed expressions, like fallen leaves in the autumn wind, uneasy and apprehensive.
Their eyes were full of fear and unease, as if they were about to face an unknown disaster.
Only Li Chengfeng, this seemingly ignorant fellow, was still looking around in the water, his face beaming with flattered delight.
It was as if he was currently bathed in endless grace, completely unaware of the impending danger.
The others looked at Li Chengfeng's appearance and felt even more contempt in their hearts, muttering to themselves.
"This guy really doesn't know he's about to die, what a complete waste."
However, despite thinking this way in their hearts, they didn't dare to show the slightest expression.
In this environment full of the unknown and fear, each of them carefully restrained their emotions.
Fearing that they might accidentally offend some unspeakable existence.
Beneath the deep pool, there was a whole other world.
Various spiritual herbs and medicines were like twinkling stars, a riot of color, a beautiful sight.
However, by the time everyone fell to the bottom of the deep pool, it was already thousands of feet deep.
The water pressure here was enormous, as if to crush one's soul into powder.
But it was precisely in such an environment that the spiritual herbs and medicines that grew here seemed even more extraordinary.
They were like the most precious gifts of nature, containing endless vitality and power.
The scholar dragon led everyone into a cave dwelling standing in the water.
This cave dwelling seemed to be a masterpiece of nature, and also seemed to be the work of some expert.
Upon entering it, there was a special great formation that had the effect of blocking water, isolating the pool water outside.
The inside immediately became dry and warm, only a trace of coldness still permeated the air.
Immediately afterwards, an extremely pure spiritual energy rushed towards them, like a spring breeze caressing their faces, invigorating everyone's spirits.
As if all the fatigue and worries had vanished at this moment.
However, just at this moment, Li Chengfeng stood urgently at the front.
His eyes were full of longing and anticipation, as if there was something he had dreamed of hidden in this cave dwelling.
Only then did everyone realize that there were already a dozen or so Nascent Soul stage cultivators gathered here, all of whom knew each other, coming from all corners of the Land of Chaos.
At this moment, they were all frowning, but seeing so many cultivators of the same level here, they instead felt a sense of security in their hearts.
After all, these three fellows were about to face the fate of being punished, but they did not feel panic because of this.
On the contrary, due to the increase in the number of Nascent Soul stage cultivators, they instead had a kind of inexplicable confidence.
As if as long as there were enough people, they would have the strength to fight against a strong enemy.
This kind of mentality was like that of soldiers about to step onto the battlefield.
Although they knew that the road ahead was a battlefield of life and death, because they had brothers fighting alongside them, they felt more at ease in their hearts.
Just at this moment, the surface of the water outside the cave dwelling suddenly split open with a splash.
Another group of people broke into this mysterious space.
The leader was actually an ape monkey, who had not transformed into human form, but maintained the appearance of an ape monkey.
But this ape monkey's appearance was very similar to that of humans, only the tail behind him, like a steel whip, showed his identity as a demon race.
This person was a powerful expert in the late stage of Deity Transformation—the Chaos Demon Ape!
The Chaos Demon Ape was well-known in the Land of Chaos, a generation of heroes. All the demon races were in awe of him and respected him as their master.
His arrival was like a violent storm, instantly shocking everyone present.
The cultivators who had originally held various ideas in their hearts were now silent as cicadas in winter, not daring to make the slightest move.
Because in front of the Chaos Demon Ape, any small thoughts were as weak as candlelight, which could be extinguished at any time.
The Chaos Demon Ape looked around and a satisfied smile appeared on his face.
He said loudly, "I'm here."
The scholar heard this and immediately greeted him, smiling and saying, "Haha, Brother Demon Ape, we were just waiting for you.
Now that you're here, we can start refining the treasure.
Good things should not be delayed. After refining it, I still have a very important matter to attend to, so time is tight."
The Chaos Demon Ape nodded, indicating his understanding.
He turned his gaze to True Person Yellow Dragon beside the scholar and smiled.
"Two fellow Daoists, I will naturally not forget the benefits I promised you.
What I want to refine today is this."
As he said this, he pointed to the center of the cave dwelling, where a jewel-like, crystal-clear treasure was floating.
It radiated light and randomly diffused Dao rhymes, full of spiritual aura.
