The Sea-Overturning Flood Dragon in the Qiantang River has reached Tier Two, and its blood is extremely valuable. Just a small bottle can be exchanged for a hundred Spirit Stones.
Of course, during battle, some blood is inevitably wasted, as seen with the blood diluted in the river water, which cannot be avoided.
In addition, Flood Dragon scales, dragon sinew, bones, and Flood Dragon horns are all excellent refining materials, capable of producing several Tier Three magical artifacts.
Under the coordination of Lu Zhiwei, Lu Yuanshan assisted in cleaning up the Sea-Overturning Flood Dragon’s body and packed it into Lu Zhiwei’s Storage Bag.
The Storage Bag was packed full, but thankfully, its space was large enough to barely fit everything.
[Doorway Affairs: Clear the Sea-Overturning Flood Dragon in the Qiantang River, task complete]
[Task Reward: Reputation 1250, Rare Three-Star Item - Resurrection ×1]
After slaying the Sea-Overturning Flood Dragon, a system dialogue box appeared before Lu Ping.
Lu Ping’s eyes widened in excitement, secretly thrilled.
Never mind the Reputation Points; the item [Three-star Resurrection] alone excited Lu Ping tremendously. The latest_epɪ_sodes are on_the novelꜰire.net
Finally, there’s a chance for resurrection and some activity.
The journey is worthwhile!
As Lu Ping was reviewing the task rewards, Lu Yuanshan sent a communication.
"The Flood Dragon’s lair might be nearby, and there could still be some water demons in the nest. Should we clear them out together?"
While dealing with the Flood Dragon earlier, many water demons had emerged.
Although many had been slain, not all were eradicated.
Among the water demons were Water Ghosts and Demon Crabs, who posed a threat to the surrounding mortals, so they couldn’t be left unchecked.
"Hmm, let’s clean them out together."
Lu Ping agreed without much thought.
Now, the task of eliminating the Sea-Overturning Flood Dragon was complete, with the main target being this one boss.
Lu Ping could have ignored these water demons, but since they had already taken action, they might as well clear them out together.
Meanwhile, the Flood Dragon’s lair might contain some treasures, so it’s naturally worth exploring.
Relying on memory, the trio reached the area where the Flood Dragon had previously appeared, the Mohe Valley region, and began submerging to search for the Flood Dragon’s lair.
Soon enough, they successfully found the lair.
The lair was quite extensive, enveloped by a thick, waterproof barrier, displaying a faint black hue.
Amazingly, not only could Lu Ping pass through the lair’s barrier, but also Lu Yuanshan and Lu Zhiwei could traverse it and enter the barrier.
This lair had not set up restrictions to block creatures from entering, only a waterproof barrier isolating external water currents.
Inside the lair, there was a faint presence of spiritual qi.
The sight inside resembled a palace interior, with gardens, courtyards, squares, and various architectural facilities, decorated as if crafted by a cultivator’s hand.
Small and large water demons were moving everywhere in the palace, patrolling or squabbling.
The lair was not created by the Flood Dragon itself but was a usurped dwelling.
Originally, it was the cave mansion of an early-stage Foundation Establishment Loose Cultivator, discovered by the Flood Dragon, who ambushed and devoured the Loose Cultivator to occupy the lair.
The Flood Dragon lacked sufficient cultivation and wisdom, unable to transform into human form, much less create such a cave mansion.
Upon entering the lair, the trio had no time to examine carefully before several water demons spotted human cultivators intruding and immediately bared their claws, charging at Lu Yuanshan and Lu Zhiwei.
Attacking Lu Zhiwei was a hermit crab water demon.
Its size was that of a bull, and its pincers were sharp and fearsome; its eyes darted around, giving it a tough appearance by looks alone.
Its cultivation was at the Second-Layer Qi Cultivation.
Facing the attack from this level of water demon, Lu Zhiwei calmly countered.
There was no need to use the Taiyi Celestial Ruins Sword; merely wielding the Zhaoyun Sword casually was enough to unleash powerful Foundation Establishment Magical Power, cutting the demon down with one strong stroke.
Even after the earlier intense battle against the Flood Dragon, consuming some magical power, Lu Zhiwei effortlessly dealt with this hermit crab water demon.
Just after Lu Zhiwei slew a water demon, Lu Yuanshan took action, releasing the Qingyin Flying Sword to decapitate a Third-Layer Qi Cultivation Water Ghost Water Demon.
Meanwhile, five more water demons launched their onslaught.
Three charged towards Lu Zhiwei.
Two focused on Lu Yuanshan.
These water demons wielded long spear weapons or attacked with razor-sharp teeth.
Without exception, in the hands of the two Foundation Establishment Cultivators, these water demons were mere cannon fodder, insignificant and swiftly cleared.
"Clear the surrounding water demons first, and then carefully investigate any treasures that might exist."
Lu Ping’s voice resonated at this time.
Having slain the attacking demons, Lu Zhiwei and Lu Yuanshan nodded in response to Lu Ping.
Then, they set their eyes on the remaining water demons they could see.
Lu Ping, on the other hand, casually scanned the interior of the lair, noting the luxurious and grand decorating style, despite the evident disorder from frequent disturbances.
As a consciousness body with extensive experience, such treasure-hunting naturally fell to him.
"This place is unfamiliar; proceed with caution."
Lu Ping added a reminder before he started moving, leaving the range of Lu Zhiwei and Lu Yuanshan.
Upon hearing Lu Ping’s reminder, Lu Yuanshan and Lu Zhiwei didn’t delay and engaged a group of over ten water demons nearby, initiating their attack.
The Qingyin Flying Sword sliced back and forth, its power astonishing, targeting a Black-Scaled Python Water Demon.
Seeing this, the demon instinctively tried to dodge the sword, but being only at Qi Cultivation level was no match for Lu Yuanshan’s speed.
With a splattering sound.
The Black-Scaled Python Water Demon was beheaded by Lu Yuanshan, powerless to resist.
The remaining water demons were either attacking jointly or fleeing, creating chaos.
Lu Zhiwei and Lu Yuanshan continued wielding their flying swords, slaying each water demon on the spot, not sparing even those attempting to escape.
If these water demons escaped the lair, they would pose potential threats outside, better simply to eliminate them together.
Reputation rewards or not, it didn’t matter.
Clearing these water demons was very easy.
As cultivators of Foundation Establishment Stage, they had long since slain countless demon beasts, showing no mercy at this point.
While Lu Zhiwei and Lu Yuanshan were clearing the water demons in the lair, Lu Ping drifted alone around the lair, exploring thoroughly.
Soon, in a corner of the palace, Lu Ping sensed a peculiar surge of spiritual qi, quite distinct.
This instantly caught his attention.
