The blood from the torn carcass of the flood dragon turned a large area of the pond water red, causing a large number of fish and shrimp to compete for the feast.
Even the local deities of the Aquatic Tribe who were collecting the carcass swallowed saliva covertly, with a trace of greed flashing in their eyes.
The Fubo Dragon Monarch succeeded in transforming into a flood dragon after devouring the Dragon Bead of the True Dragon, even though it was a hybrid Jiao dragon, but as long as it was linked to the word ‘dragon’, every part of its body was a treasure.
If not for Shen Yuan’s presence, they would have already swallowed the carcass of the flood dragon.
Shen Yuan didn’t pay much attention to the flood dragon’s body, instead, he turned his gaze to the three stone boxes in the hand of the water snake deity.
“Is anything missing?”
Without seeing any movement from Shen Yuan, the Darkness-Light Sword on his waist suddenly shot out a bit, the sharp Sword Intent seemed to point directly at the Spirit Souls of several aquatic deities.
Under the trembling of their spirits, all the aquatic deities shook their heads:
“Nothing is missing, absolutely nothing!”
“Fubo follows the habits he had when he was a loach, his lair is just a simple cave, there is nothing inside apart from the three stone boxes.”
Shen Yuan confirmed through his Primordial Spirit sword intent that they weren’t lying, only then did he nod his head and reach out to open the stone box.
The exterior of the stone box was rough, but the touch was warm to the palm, it should be a kind of spiritual mineral.
On opening the stone box, the first thing that greeted Shen Yuan’s eyes was an ice-blue fruit.
With just the opening, Shen Yuan could feel a bit of hexagonal snowflakes fluttering around him, looking quite impressive.
The pupil of Shen Yuan shrunk abruptly: “Ice-Condensed Fruit!”
After a careful look, Shen Yuan confirmed through the various anomalies that appeared that this was the Ice-Condensed Fruit which he had seen in the diary of the Disciple’s Falling Clouds Sect.
This kind of Spirit Fruit only grows in the bitter cold, and it requires a very large supply of nature’s spiritual energy to be born.
Although the Ice-Condensed Fruit is not of high grade, it is a treasure for assisting the cultivation of the Yin God, and it’s enough to make the Great Cultivators at the Spirit Transmutation Stage compete for it.
Even though Shen Yuan had cultivated a fake Primordial Spirit, there was still a long way to go before he reached the Domain of the Yin Spirit, so he had no use for this object at the moment.
So, after being pleasantly surprised, Shen Yuan put the Ice-Condensed Fruit into the Storage Ring and simultaneously opened the second stone box.
The second stone box was filled with an abundance of Profound Ice, this kind of ice was refined from the spells of Aquatic Tribe, and it was difficult to melt it at ordinary temperatures.
The Profound Ice in the stone box was already more than halfway melted, there was a thumb-sized golden stone in the center of the Profound Ice, its body was gleaming with gold light, constantly emitting burning high temperatures to the outside world, it looked like a tiny sun.
“Although the stone’s extraordinary nature can be felt, it is a treasure without name.”
Feeling keenly the lack of knowledge, Shen Yuan closed the second box and took it into the storage ring.
Shen Yuan couldn’t recognize the object in the second stone box, but it was extraordinary just by its manifestations. With the Ice-Condensed Fruit obtained from the first stone box, this raised Shen Yuan’s expectations for the contents of the third stone box.
Opening the stone box, there was no observed anomaly this time. Inside the stone box was just a strip of broken beast skin.
The beast skin was full of words recorded in blood, each word seemed to be a living creature that was constantly twisting and moving, it looked quite strange.
After observing for a while, Shen Yuan could not find any insights and so he could only put it away in the storage ring.
“It seems that after just advancing to the Qi Transformation Stage, there are many inadequacies that have already been exposed.
Basic spells at the Qi transformation stage, cultivation knowledge, an illustrated guide to spirit objects, while these things might not be valuable, they are crucial for every cultivator.”
With such a thought flashing through his mind, Shen Yuan shifted his attention to the carcass of the Fubo Dragon Monarch.
The dragon scales, dragon claws, even the flesh and blood of the Hybrid Jiao Dragon, they were all considered excellent treasures.
Yet, this giant carcass stretching more than ten meters long, Shen Yuan simply couldn’t put it in his pocket.
“Do I have to dissect it?”
There is no doubt that dissecting the flood dragon’s carcass will degrade its value, but at the moment there seems to be no other way.
Just as he was preparing to dissect, a brilliant idea suddenly flashed through Shen Yuan’s mind. From the storage ring, he took out the stone box that contained the beast skin.
Pot’s Heaven Divine Power could create different sizes of storage spaces based on the different grades of spirit objects. Given that this stone box could serve as Fubo Dragon Monarch’s container for those treasures, its quality should be extraordinary.
With this in mind, Shen Yuan carefully tucked the beast skin into his storage ring, and then held the stone box, trying to apply Pot’s Heaven Divine Power to it.
In his divine sense, the space expanded continuously. The quality of the stone box, designed to contain treasures, far exceeded Shen Yuan’s expectations. It easily opened up a huge storage space with more than enough room for the flood dragon corpse.
He reached out and opened the stone box. The enormous flood dragon corpse and the collected items were all stored inside the box.
The few aquatic tribe deities present were stunned by this spectacle.
They had brought the stone box out of the grotto residence, but they knew perfectly well that it was not a treasure, and certainly did not have storage capabilities.
But this ordinary object, in the hands of Shen Yuan, was transformed spectacularly into a storage artifact that could easily contain the large flood dragon corpse.
What they saw was beyond their understanding, it was as if they were witnessing a fairy method from a mythical tale.
In the hearts of the aqua tribe deities, their reverence for Shen Yuan deepened a little more.
As he held the storage box, Shen Yuan suddenly felt that his actions were a bit hasty.
Carrying such a large stone box was inconvenient. If he took out the stone material and made it into a storage ring, it would not only be easier to carry, but he could also make more storage equipment.
“I still lack some experience. I can try with the next two stone boxes when I get back. Yet, this storage box is not entirely useless. After consuming so many spirit objects, its space stability is much higher than that of ordinary storage rings. The space inside can exist stable for a few thousand years without a problem.”
Having thoroughly organized the gain of this trip, Shen Yuan was ready to return to Yunmeng Village.
The back-up plan arranged by Yu Changliu was ultimately not used, which was a good thing for Shen Yuan.
Thinking of this, Shen Yuan suddenly looked up at the sky.
Since the death of the Fubo Dragon Monarch, there had been ceaseless rain falling from the sky. The whole of Fubo Pond was enveloped in the rain, everything as far as the eye could see was immersed in the heavy downpour.
“Boom!”
The water level of Fubo Pond had risen considerably in the pouring rain. The originally calm pond water was constantly battering the forest, knocking down big rocks, making the water increasingly turbulent.
“Something’s not right!”
Shen Yuan suddenly became alert, his eyes fixed on the thick clouds in the sky above.
Before arriving at Fubo Pond, Shen Yuan noticed a strange phenomenon with the thick clouds in the sky, which he believed had something to do with flood in Yunmeng Village mentioned by Fubo Dragon Monarch.
After slaying the Fubo Dragon Monarch, everything should have ended with the loss of its leader.
Yet, the pouring rain was growing more intense, causing turbulence in the water of Fubo pond, while the abnormally thick clouds in the sky showed no signs of dispersing.
If the rain continued like this, the water of Fubo Pond could potentially break down the mountain, and the resulting flood might wash down the mountain.
“There must be a problem somewhere.”
Shen Yuan said, looking at the awestruck aquatic tribe deities with a glint in his eyes.
“Being invited by the Fubo Dragon Monarch to the Dragon King Banquet, do you know anything about his plan to flood Yunmeng Village?”
The water snake deity spoke cautiously:
“The Fubo Dragon Monarch mentioned this, but we don’t know the details.”
Shen Yuan’s brows furrowed slightly: “As water deities in charge of a particular body of water, Fubo Dragon Monarch would have needed to borrow your powers to flood Yunmeng Village, how could you know absolutely nothing about it?”
The face of the water snake deity, covered in patterns, displayed an expression of fear:
“We are not deceiving you, we truly do not know about Fubo Dragon Monarch’s scheme. As early as half a month ago, the authority over our bodies of water was forcibly ‘borrowed’ by the Fubo Dragon Monarch.”
“Even not only us, the small and big water deities, Pond Dragon Kings that govern the waters within three hundred miles to the west of Dongting – their powers were forcibly ‘borrowed’ by the Fubo Dragon Monarch.”
“Any who resisted were killed by Fubo Dragon Monarch for being disloyal, and their powers were seized.”
“The three hundred miles of water territory to the west of Dongting are now all under the control of Fubo Dragon Monarch!”
