Chapter 243: Dragontooth Rice
Li Xiandao looked at the mule and asked, “You are the Demon Frog’s brother, one of the seven monsters?”
The mule nodded, “Master, I was one of the seven in the past but now I am your mount. You can just call me Mr Mule.”
Li Xiandao laughed, “I don’t need a mount.”
“Master, don’t underestimate me. Although I am not very strong, I am extremely quick. I’ve comprehended space techniques and if my cultivation increases, I will be able to teleport.” Mr. Mule introduced himself warmly and promoted himself to Li Xiandao.
The fact that he had turned into a monster king from a house mule meant that he was really smart. He knew who to be loyal to and who to be friends with.
It was obvious that Li Xiandao was his new Master and since Li Xiandao was so strong, if he didn’t bootlick him now, then when did he have to wait till?
While Mr. Mule was talking, Heaven Heart brought the other monster kings in.
“You can rise first.” Li Xiandao told him to rise and then looked towards Demon Frog and the other seven monsters.
All of them were beasts but had weak auras. It was obvious that 8,000 years of suppression had badly hurt their bodies.
“Demon Frog should have told you that he has signed a contract on behalf of all of you. What do all of you think?” Li Xiandao asked.
“I am definitely willing to recognize you as my master.” Mr. Mule said right away.
“Big Brother did so to save us. We are willing to recognize you as our Master.” Barbaric Cow said.
“I have no objection. It was a fortunate thing to be able to come out alive.” The pangolin said.
“Right, brother pangolin is right; it was good to come out alive. Master, accept my kowtow.” The god eagle lowered his proud head.
“Master, what are you planning to do to us?” Heaven Swallowing Dog asked.
The others looked towards Li Xiandao. They wanted to know how they would be treated now that they were on his side.
Li Xiandao looked at them and waved his hands, “All of you are still too weak. Since you have recognized me as your Master, then everything is good. Go out and find a house in the mountains to cultivate and recover.”
The monsters were all delighted. Who knew that the first thing Li Xiandao did was allow them to recover. It made them feel a bit closer to him.
Dalin Temple led them out. Li Xiandao looked towards Heaven Heart and asked, “Have you found out Dalin Temple’s secret?”
Heaven Heart nodded his head, “I have used soul control technique on the higher-ups and they have exposed everything.”
“What reason or secret has caused Dalin Temple from the Nine Skies to set up a plan in the Ten Lands for 10,000 years?” Li Xiandao frowned and asked.
Now that he had wiped out Dalin Temple, since there was a treasure, he would take it himself.
Li Xiandao lacked treasures now.
He didn’t have a suitable weapon on him either. He used sword energy against enemies and if he had a really strong weapon, his strength could increase in folds.
But unfortunately, the celestial artifacts he got weren’t suitable for him.
The only sword was Gabriel’s life weapon. How could Li Xiandao take his own subordinate’s life weapon?
This was why Li Xiandao fought empty-handed.
Heave Heart said solemnly, “The reason why Dalin Temple built a temple in the Ten Lands is for an ancient treasure!”
“Ancient treasure?” Li Xiandao’s brow rose up.
“Right, Dragontooth Rice!” Heaven Heart said.
Li Xiandao’s eyes lit up and he stared at Heaven Heart, “Are you sure?”
Seven couldn’t help but look towards Heaven Heart in shock.
“Is it really Dragontooth Rice?” Seven couldn’t help but ask.
Heaven Heart nodded his head, “I have charmed the Dalin Temple people and found out that within three months, Dragontooth Rice will appear in the Ten Lands. The only thing is that we don’t know which world it will be in.”
Li Xiandao muttered, “In ancient times, even if it appeared on normal people, they could reach 800 years old. People who cultivate would soar. The ancient witch race used it to rule the world. Their bodies were strong enough to pass through the milky way and rip open the stars.”
“Right, that was an era when the three worlds were equal.” Seven nodded, she knew about that era.
During that era, the Ten Lands belonged to the witch race. The witch race didn’t cultivate and just trained their bodies. They used the strength of their bodies to run the Ten Lands.
As for the Nine Skies, the Nine Skies belonged to the human race and they had their own glorious moments with many rulers and emperors.
Ten Lands and Nine Skies could compete with the Celestial World and they definitely didn’t see it as a goal.
Flying up to the Celestial World was something that people felt was dumb.
All of this was because of Dragontooth Rice.
Dragontooth Rice was a special item then.
When it was planted in the ground, it would absorb moonlight essence. Each grain of Dragontooth Rice would contain huge spiritual energy and one could see that it seemed like a dragon.
Once it matured, the Dragontooth Rice would be really big. Someone compared it to the teeth of a 10-year-old baby dragon. That was how it got its name.
So, if one planted Dragontooth Rice, one didn’t need to worry about the lack of spiritual energy.
One grain of Dragontooth Rice could replenish all losses and even help your cultivation to increase.
Everyone in that era ate Dragontooth Rice, so how could their bodies not be good?
Even if they couldn’t cultivate, normal people could live to 800 years old. That was truly amazing.
Unfortunately, those times ended due to the extinction of Dragontooth Rice.
As for how it was lost, no one knew.
That era was so long ago that no one could investigate anything about it.
But numerous books and records said that the Celestial World had caused it.
They destroyed Dragontooth Rice!
Nine Skies and Ten Lands fell such that the Nine Skies needed Celestial World to provide celestial energy and Ten Lands needed the Nine Skies to give them spiritual energy.
Their statuses changed just like that.
Celestial World, Nine Skies, Ten Lands!
The three places that were on the same level as one another were now obviously split.
If the witch race experts found out, they would probably charge up to the Celestial World to take revenge, right?
“How did the Dalin Temple know that the Dragontooth Rice is in the Ten Lands?” Li Xiandao asked.
“Corona!”
“One top monk from the Nine Skies gave up his life to see the birth of Dragontooth Rice and he confirmed that it was in the Ten Lands. That monk died and left a relic that was passed down to Ancient Buddha Land. Now, it is only three months away from the time that the monk said.” Heaven Heart said.
“It doesn’t seem fake. Sacrificing life to peak into destiny is the most amazing method, so it won’t be fake.” Li Xiandao nodded his head.
