Beast Taming: the More the Better Chapter 915 - 386: The Whereabouts of the Elixir of Immortality and Meng Huangliang’s Condition!_2

Hehe, however, the Dragon Clan's defining characteristic lies in their Dragon Soul. Naturally, the birth of offspring through union is also conducted using the Dragon Soul."

Speaking of this, the person in front of him didn't seem to mind much.

Still, Su Ping felt a bit awkward as he touched his nose.

Discussing such matters seriously, though a bit peculiar, touched upon the secrets of the Dragon Clan, which piqued Su Ping's interest.

"The union of Dragon Souls is how the Dragon Clan reproduces, but there's a requirement: the fusion of souls to ultimately give birth to a new Dragon Soul. However, except in special circumstances, dragons necessitate physical bodies. Even psychic elemental Fairy Dragons require a vessel to coalesce during their growth phase. Furthermore, every five years within the Dragon Gate, a special resource known as Dragon God's Blood is secreted. Of course, this Dragon God's Blood doesn't only materialize independently; other methods of its production exist. Only when the nascent Dragon Souls, born from union, are imbued with Dragon God's Blood can they truly evolve into a True Dragon! The offspring of the Dragon Clan might exhibit attribute mutations, but overall, their lineage depends on the blood kin of both progenitors."

Ah, I understand! Su Ping nodded slightly, a peculiar feeling washing over him as he spoke:

"So, the distribution of this Dragon God's Blood is the primary driver for the competition among the various inheritance lands in Dragon City? The contention among these inheritance lands is to vie for..."

The other party clearly grasped his unspoken thought, even though Su Ping left those three words unsaid.

The man nodded:

"In Dragon City, a rule mandates that every five years, each inheritance land undergoes an evaluation. During those five years, the greater the achievements each inheritance land accrues, the more Dragon God's Blood they are allocated. Yet, in truth, despite the fierce competition, the Dragon God's Blood is generally sufficient. The Dragon Kings of each inheritance land are merely competing for prestige. The Dragon Clan is inherently fond of conflict; they cannot truly battle amongst their own kin, so they find satisfaction in these contests."

Setting aside other matters, Su Ping certainly believed the Dragon Clan's inclination for fighting.

Even Da Huang, who was considered relatively indolent among the Dragon Clan, showed only slight apprehension when facing the True Body of the Flame Venerable. Apart from that instance, the creature had rarely wavered.

Oh, wait, Su Ping now recalled that Da Huang and Master Zhu Hong had appeared intimidated when confronted by the Ice Dragon King.

"I mentioned earlier that if you could initially withstand the interference of the Celestial Tomb Mark and possess sufficient willpower, I would permit you initial contact with the Dragon Gate. Now it appears you've performed admirably, so prepare yourself. I shall escort you to experience the Dragon Gate..."

If, earlier, Su Ping had remained ignorant of what the Dragon Gate signified, nor the implication behind the man's words, he might not have felt anything significant.

After all, it was merely a peculiar treasure used to ascertain if a Pet Beast possessed the potential for Dragon Transformation.

However, upon hearing the man's explanation, Su Ping finally comprehended the Dragon Gate's true meaning.

Consequently, he also understood the profound significance of making contact with the Dragon Gate.

For a moment, he hesitated, not daring to proceed: "Legendary Lord, I..."

"Rest assured, this is merely an initial encounter; it doesn't commit you to anything. Do not burden yourself. Moreover, the Dragon Gate might potentially assist with your current predicaments. Very well, if you have any other queries, please ask. We have ample time, no need to rush," the man interrupted Su Ping's nascent protestations blandly.

This individual's demeanor was indeed quite overbearing.

Yet, Su Ping couldn't find a valid reason to refuse these proceedings.

Other questions?

Su Ping genuinely wished to inquire about the Biyao Chunshen matter; after all, the Biyao Chunshen discovered on Heavenly Mountain had left him with a profound sense of strangeness.

It was for this reason that upon arriving at the Imperial Capital this time, he had deliberately left that particular entity behind.

Nevertheless, after careful consideration, Su Ping ultimately refrained from broaching the subject. Instead, he posed a question tangentially related to the Biyao Chunshen:

"Legendary Lord, I wish to ask, do you happen to know the whereabouts of the Elixir of Immortality?"

These words caused the Legend of the Holy Dragon a slight jolt of surprise:

"Hmm? Why do you seek such a thing? Is someone close to you nearing the end of their lifespan? However, if you are pursuing this, it must be for a cherished relative. But your close relative..."

Clearly, this person was already privy to his background, rendering further explanation unnecessary.

Su Ping himself, Su Anyong, and even his grandfather Rong Bao were not at a stage where they required such a potion for life extension.

Nonetheless, the Legend of the Holy Dragon ceased his questioning, paused briefly, and then revealed: "Otherwise, I do indeed know the location of such a substance."

Su Ping jumped, his gaze falling upon the individual with a hopeful glint.

This time, the person bypassed any pretense, stating plainly:

"It's not within the country; it's held by the Royal Family of the Lion Country to the west."

"What?"

Su Ping's brow furrowed. It was only natural, he mused, that something so well-known would not be easily obtained.

Yet, he hadn't anticipated the difficulty to be quite this substantial.

"Alright, Legendary Lord, do you possess any alternative resources?"

"You cheeky brat, truly asking the impossible. Resources at the legendary level almost invariably possess singular qualities.

True legendary tiers encompass certain governing powers, and these powers will only ever foster one singular, akin resource within the mystic realm.

Only after that specific resource is depleted does another begin its slow genesis in some uncharted territory.

The Elixir of Immortality has resided with the Lion Country for over fifty years. There's a hidden story behind that, hehe."
