Ms. Diviner: The Prodigal Daughter's Return

Chapter 1730: Chapter 1730: Dragon’s Nine Sons, Part One

”Uh...” Mu Hanyan patted her forehead, indeed, there was nothing about this guy that didn’t resemble a pig.

Seeing that the Little Auspicious Beast had recovered, Mu Hanyan was no longer worried and casually tossed it into the pet space. On the way back, she asked Ye Yi’an about the sacrificial pet, and learned that the sacrificial pet of the Divine Continent and the Sword Pet of the Holy Court Continent were essentially the same concept, with even the sacrificial pet space being identical, only the names were different.

”Sir, what exactly is behind this sacrificial pet of yours? I’ve seen one or two Wind Pigs or Fire Pigs before, but none were as powerful as this, even Chen Xuefeng was no match for it?” A young man asked with curiosity and envy.

This question truly stumped Mu Hanyan. Based on the true identity of the young Qilin Young Master, it was countless times stronger than this, but the problem was that it had self-destructed its Qilin Blood Essence, greatly reducing its strength, making it impossible to possess such formidable power.

Could it have something to do with that Red Fruit? Other than that, Mu Hanyan really couldn’t think of any other reasons.

”Hahaha, I knew it, it really is that, it really is that!” Nearby, Ling Baobao hugged that large stone slab, laughing excitedly.

”What was I right about?” Mu Hanyan walked over, asking curiously.

”Look, what is this?” Ling Baobao put down the slab in his hand, pointing and said.

”Eh, what is this?” Only then did Mu Hanyan notice, that after a heavy blow shattered Chen Xuefeng’s long knife, several criss-crossing patterns appeared on the stone slab. Previously, it was just concave on one side, convex on the other looking like a water ladle or a turtle shell, but now with these patterns, it was indistinguishable from a turtle shell.

”Overlord Dragon Armor, have you heard of it?” Ling Baobao boasted.

”Overlord, you’re talking about Ba Xia, one of the Dragon Clan Variants!” Mu Hanyan’s eyes lit up.

Like the Qilin Clan, the legendary Divine Dragon Clan was also one of the strongest races in the ancient legends of the Holy Continent. But unlike the Qilin Clan, the Divine Dragon Clan was quite diverse, with many Exotic Beasts said to carry the bloodline of the Divine Dragon; however, because the bloodline was so thin, it no longer had the strength of the Divine Dragon.

There are some Exotic Beast races with relatively pure bloodlines that have retained a portion of the Divine Dragon’s power, and in certain aspects, are not weaker than a true Divine Dragon. The saying goes, ”The Dragon gave birth to nine sons, each different,” which refers to these races, also known as Dragon Clan Variants. The Ba Xia race was one of them.

It is said that the ancestor of the Ba Xia race was a naturally spiritual Giant Spirit Turtle, which had descendants with the Divine Dragon, gradually developing the Ba Xia race (incidentally, the Divine Dragon’s taste was indeed unique and broad). The Giant Spirit Turtle was already immensely powerful, and with the Divine Dragon’s physique, its Divine Power was incredible, capable of carrying three mountains and five peaks, unmatched in strength alone.

Looking at the turtle shell before her, and thinking about the Red Fruit and the sudden terrifying power of the Little Auspicious Beast, Mu Hanyan found a faint answer.

”That’s right, if I’m not mistaken, this is the Dragon Armor left by Ba Xia, and the Red Fruit that Liu Guang ate earlier was the Dragon Clan Blood Essence it left before dying,” Ling Baobao said excitedly.

”Why were there two?” Mu Hanyan asked curiously.

”Of course, it’s because of the bloodline; don’t you remember that Ba Xia also had the bloodlines of both the Ancient Giant Spirit Turtle and the Divine Dragon? Naturally, two Blood Essence Pearls formed,” Ling Baobao explained.

Mu Hanyan finally realized, no wonder the Little Auspicious Beast’s power suddenly surged; it turned out to be because it ate a Dragon Clan Blood Essence. Fortunately, it was originally the Qilin Young Master, and with Sikong Qinglan’s Life Hymn’s help, otherwise, even as the same Divine Beast, it couldn’t withstand such immense power.

Of course, it’s no surprise, since the Little Auspicious Beast was only a few years old from hatching, equivalent to a human infant in the long lifespan of a Divine Beast; whereas the Ba Xia able to form the Dragon Clan Blood Essence had at least thousands of years of age, accumulating lifetime Essence Blood, nothing the Little Auspicious Beast could bear.

Thankfully, this little guy showed some filial piety, knowing to leave the larger one for Mu Hanyan and take the smaller one itself. If it had swallowed both, even Sikong Qinglan’s Life Hymn couldn’t save it.

”Hanyan, the one Liu Guang ate should be from the bloodline of the Giant Spirit Turtle, and the one you have is from the bloodline of the Divine Dragon. Don’t waste it, and definitely don’t consume it lightly, or you’ll likely die in an explosion with nothing left of you,” Ling Baobao reminded Mu Hanyan after the excitement.

”I will be careful,” Mu Hanyan nodded and replied.

Knowing the fruit’s origin, even without Ling Baobao’s reminder, she wouldn’t waste it, nor would she dare to consume it recklessly. What a joke, even the Divine Beast body of the Little Auspicious Beast couldn’t withstand the Blood Essence Pearl formed from the Giant Spirit Turtle’s bloodline, she couldn’t carelessly eat the one from the Divine Dragon’s bloodline, that would be courting death, she loved gourmet food, but she wouldn’t eat recklessly without principle.

”How should it be consumed?” Ye Yi’an was surprised at Ling Baobao’s insight and couldn’t help but interject and ask.

Seeing the terrifying divine power of the little pig earlier, one could imagine how terrifying the power contained in Mu Hanyan’s Dragon Clan Blood Essence was. Although it couldn’t be consumed lightly, it also couldn’t be stored forever and not used, right? Wouldn’t that be a waste?

”Either slowly refine and absorb it, or refine it into a Dan, but it can’t be consumed directly,” Ling Baobao asserted confidently.

”Refine it into a Dan.” Ye Yi’an pondered but soon shook his head helplessly.

Even in the Holy Court, with his strength, he absolutely could not refine this Dragon Clan Blood Essence into a Dan — limited by Alchemy Skills on one hand and with no Pill Furnace capable of withstanding such terrifying power on the other. And on the Divine Continent, he was even more helpless.

”I think it’s better to slowly refine and absorb it,” Mu Hanyan also realized this point and said helplessly.

Although envious of the Little Auspicious Beast waking up with such raw power, she’s not afraid of taking risks, but that doesn’t mean Lady Mu could casually risk her life like a rash person. Considering the risks involved, she decided to slowly refine it first.

”Oh right, also the spring water,” Ling Baobao suddenly mentioned.

Mu Hanyan then remembered she had filled a water bag with spring water collected from the Overlord Dragon Armor. In hindsight, it seemed that the spring gathered because of the Dragon Clan Blood Essence, and although it couldn’t compare to the Blood Essence, it surely contained significant power.

Taking out the water bag, Mu Hanyan poured a cup and took a gentle sip.

Knowing the origin of the Dragon Clan Blood Essence, she wasn’t as worried as before, and with just a small sip, she believed there wouldn’t be much of an issue.
