Chapter 242: Planting the Dragon Blood Tree

Chapter 242 Planting the Dragon Blood Tree

Li Wei returned inside the manor.

He retrieved the Dragon Blood Tree excavated from the secret realm earlier from his spatial ring.

Left in the spatial ring without nourishment from Dragon Blood soil, the tree's leaves had begun to wilt.

Seeing this, Li Wei instead wore an expression of joy.

This indicated the Dragon Blood Tree was still alive.

He glanced around, pondering where would be best to plant it?

Li Wei wanted to keep this Dragon Blood Tree alive.

That way he would have a constant supply of Dragon Blood plant materials to refine vitality elixirs.

However, planting a Dragon Blood Tree was not an easy task.

After much deliberation, Li Wei found Zogwalen.

Planting a Dragon Blood Tree was no small matter; the manor owner's opinion needed to be sought.

Hearing Li Wei wished to plant a Dragon Blood Tree, Zogwalen was greatly surprised.

"You want to plant a Dragon Blood Tree? Without Dragon Blood irrigation, the Dragon Blood Tree is hard to survive."

"Even if it survives, without long-term Dragon Blood irrigation, the Dragon Blood Tree will gradually degenerate into an ordinary plant."

Li Wei nodded, saying, "I know, but I wish to try."

Seeing this, Zogwalen could only say, "Fine, let me think where would be suitable."

"I have thought of it, follow me."

Zogwalen led Li Wei towards the back of the manor.

This was also the first time Li Wei came to this rear area.

Piled up behind were golems like small mountains, most of them being scrapped golems.

Li Wei was somewhat shocked; so many golems, could Zogwalen have once possessed a golem legion?

In the center of the pile of golems lay a patch of empty ground.

There lay stacked a particularly special golem.

A skeleton-shaped golem.

Called a golem, actually undead.

Most importantly, that was a bone dragon.

A small bone dragon, its body length merely four meters.

Zogwalen said, "This bone dragon I found in an ancient battlefield; after bringing it back I wanted to craft it into a golem, but failed."

"If you plant the Dragon Blood Tree here, perhaps there will be unexpected gains."

Li Wei approached the small bone dragon, his heart rate suddenly accelerating.

An inexplicable sense of sorrow arose within his heart.

Feeling his face wet, Li Wei realized he had shed tears unknowingly.

"What is happening?"

Li Wei wiped away the tears, stabilizing his mind.

Casting Object Control Art, he dug a large pit and took out the Dragon Blood Tree to plant it.

The Dragon Blood Tree stood over five meters tall; after planting, the small bone dragon lying on the ground seemed to snuggle beside the Dragon Blood Tree.

It looked unexpectedly harmonious.

Rustle rustle rustle!

The Dragon Blood Tree swayed gently, as if patting the small bone dragon.

The originally wilted and drooping leaves also became upright.

Li Wei showed an expression of surprise.

"What happened?"

Zogwalen said, "Perhaps it is mutual stimulation between Dragon Clan bloodlines."

"You cried just now, do you also possess Dragon Clan bloodline?"

Li Wei did not hide it; he told Valen about receiving the Dragon Blood Bath.

Valen clicked his tongue in wonder, "Your luck is truly good; for ordinary people bathing in Dragon Blood, not dying is already great fortune, let alone gaining benefits."

He merely assumed Li Wei had obtained Dragon Clan bloodline.

He did not know Li Wei had awakened the Dragon Clan's extraordinary characteristic "Dragon Flame".

Li Wei also did not speak of having seen the Dragon Soul.

The Dragon Soul is still sealed until now.

Who knows if the person who sealed it is still alive?

It is best not to let too many people know about this matter.

Seeing the Dragon Blood Tree planted with good condition, Li Wei breathed a sigh of relief.

As long as it does not die, that is enough.

Whether it can continue to grow depends only on luck.

Valen said, "It can be seen this is a pure-blood Dragon Blood Tree; using ordinary Sub-Dragon Beast blood for irrigation would instead lower the Dragon Blood Tree's quality."

"At least the blood of Dragon-Blooded Beasts must be used for irrigation."

"Best of all, naturally, is to have true Dragon Blood for irrigation."

"However, Dragon Blood itself holds high value; using it to irrigate a Dragon Blood Tree would be too wasteful." Sub-Dragon Species are offspring born from dragons breeding with other race beasts.

Possessing Dragon Clan characteristics, and thin Dragon Clan bloodline.

Dragon-Blooded Species are beasts mutated directly under the influence of Dragon Clan bloodline.

Usually possessing higher concentration of Dragon Clan bloodline within their bodies.

Dragon-Blooded Species' strength is not necessarily greater than Sub-Dragon Species.

This also relates to the specific race the Sub-Dragon Species belongs to.

Kobolds are Sub-Dragon Species, Earth Dragons are also Sub-Dragon Species, Dragonblood Giants are also Sub-Dragon Species.

Even humans among those possessing Dragon Clan bloodline, Blood Mages.

In strict terms, they can also be counted as Sub-Dragon Species.

Strength differences between Sub-Dragon Species are extremely vast.

Looking at Dragon-Blooded Species, usually they are creatures mutated after beasts contacted high-concentration Dragon Blood.

Compared to similar magical beasts, they are only stronger, never weaker.

Generally, they won't be weak at all.

Sub-dragon breeds are inherited through bloodlines.

Dragon-blood breeds are genetic mutations.

After hearing Valen's words, Levi nodded and replied, "Alright, I understand."

"I will try my best to find a way."

The two left the backyard.

The small bone dragon lying under the Dragon Blood Tree trembled slightly, a trace of crimson covering its pale bones.

Late at night, Levi performed the Fire Spirit Ritual in his room.

When the Fire Spirit Ritual ended, it was already three in the morning.

"Only five days left, will it be enough?"

Levi felt anxiety rising.

"This damn curse!"

If not for the Greed Curse, he wouldn't need to be so rushed.

Steady progress would suffice.

Now, he must find a way to take a shortcut and accelerate the awakening speed.

The simplest method is naturally to get a large sum of money, gather enough materials, and hold an advancement ritual.

But now, Levi felt there might not be enough time.

One ritual takes three hours.

At least eight more rituals are needed.

That means even if the money is sufficient, he must reserve a whole day to hold the rituals.

This shortens his time to earn money to four days.

Earn eight thousand gold coins in four days?

Selling all the Stamina Potions would only earn half that amount.

Moreover, the Stamina Potions are somewhat difficult to sell.

The more Levi thought about it, the more annoyed he became.

"This fucking curse is really annoying!"

He suddenly felt the Ring of Pride wasn't so bad after all.

Unable to find peace in the real world, Levi submerged himself into the Dream World.

He cultivated spells within the Dream World to calm his troubled thoughts.

While cultivating, a flash of inspiration struck Levi.

"Can I deduce an advancement ritual?"

Levi began to deduce based on the Element Feeding Method he had grasped.

Combining the experience of using the Fire Spirit Ritual advancement ceremony, he slowly deduced a new advancement ritual.

An advancement ritual more suitable for himself.

A night passed.

Levi opened his eyes, and characters floated before him.

Levi wore a look of contemplation.

"Advancement rituals can be deduced, but they won't be useful in the short term; at least I cannot deduce the advancement ritual to a usable Second-Tier level within four days."

"However, in the future, it has the potential to replace the Fire Spirit Ritual as a more suitable advancement ritual for myself."

"Now, I still have to find a way to make money!"

Buzz buzz buzz!

The magic badge vibrated.

Levi picked it up to check the magical message.

Sean: "Since the classroom was destroyed and is under repair, classes cannot be held normally, so today's class is changed to a field combat course. The tasks for this combat course are as follows..."
