If one were to take action to assert dominance, it would inevitably offend many skilled individuals. Unless one intended to keep them all in check, it would simply be a source of trouble.
Yang Sha Hulu, though precious, is not worth this price!
Boss Hu seemed to anticipate Zuo Ci's attitude. He laughed heartily and said, "Mr. Fang, you speak plainly. I understand the situation. If I were willing to offer some rare treasures as compensation, along with ten million in cash, would that satisfy you?"
The ten million was secondary. It was the rare treasures that piqued Zuo Ci's curiosity. Ailao Mountain has always been a place of absolute danger; it is indeed rare for anyone to emerge alive from there with treasures in hand. Zuo Ci chuckled at the thought.
"Dragons!" Boss Hu suddenly exclaimed.
"Jiao Long?" Zuo Ci scoffed. While this creature is indeed rare, it is not necessarily precious. A great serpent transforms into a flood dragon. To put it simply, a flood dragon does not belong to the category of true dragons.
"No!" Boss Hu whispered. "It’s not a Jiao Long; it’s a true dragon! Inside its belly is something the size of a pigeon egg. Though the Jiao Long shows initial signs of flesh tumors on its head, it has yet to grow horns. Bie Bao Ren brought out a complete horned dragon!"
"A True Dragon?" Zuo Ci's heart stirred.
The Bencao Gangmu Yi states: "The dragon has scales and worms; Wang Fu describes its form as having nine similarities." Its antlers resemble those of a deer, its head like that of a camel, its eyes like those of a rabbit, its neck like that of a snake, its belly like that of a clam, its scales like those of a fish, its claws like those of an eagle, its paws like those of a tiger, and its ears like those of an ox.
Yuan Mei from the Qing Dynasty wrote in Zi Bu Yu about thunder and rain obscuring the sky when dragons come to lament, their cries akin to the roar of cattle. Legends often speak of their ability to appear and disappear at will, to be small or large, short or long; they ascend to the heavens during the vernal equinox and dive into the depths during the autumnal equinox, summoning winds and rain at will.
The dragon ranks among the twelve zodiac signs in Chinese tradition. In the "Li Ji," it is mentioned alongside the phoenix, tortoise, and qilin, collectively known as the Four Spirits. This creature serves as an ancient totem of the Huaxia civilization, symbolizing endless mystery and taboo.
Could such a being have fallen in Ailao Mountain? Zuo Ci harbored some doubts. Boss Hu, hailing from Mo Jin Xiao Wei, possessed profound knowledge about these ancient creatures. If it were true, it would indeed be worth his intervention. The dragon is a treasure trove in itself. Dragon gall can be used for medicine, dragon scales can be forged into armor, dragon pearls can prolong life, and dragon blood can enhance flesh.
I knew Mr. Zuo had his concerns. "Tonight, follow me to take a look. This creature is massive and can only be concealed within a formation," Boss Hu whispered. Yet Zuo Ci felt a surge of excitement. As a sorcerer, if he could bathe in dragon blood, his body could rival those who practiced physical cultivation. Flesh had always been Zuo Ci's weak point.
In Tongcheng, at the Bao Long Auction's basement, Boss Hu respectfully led the way while Zuo Ci followed with a cold expression. If this guy was not honest, his Nine-section Staff would swiftly pierce through his throat.
Creak, creak. The basement was filled with ancient bronze mechanisms. Rusty gears turned as bronze gates slowly opened one after another. These Bronze Gates were incredibly thick; even the most advanced missiles would struggle to breach them immediately.
The chamber was nearly a hundred meters above the ground, and no one dared to launch a high-intensity attack, risking the danger of a ground collapse. The surface of the Bronze Box Gate was intricately carved with the heads of ferocious beasts, sealed with vermilion symbols to prevent certain sorcerers from using their shadowy clones.
Was this the Bronze Mechanism Technique, the ultimate skill of Gong Shujia?
As the bronze structure opened, it was time to inquire about Gong Xu. Just then, the last Bronze Dragon Gate slowly opened its gaping maw, revealing a different realm within.
