Chapter 217: Thunder Dragon Corpse
The sharp pain in his chest was just momentary, disappearing in an instant.
Fang Yu calmly wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth.
Looking at the pool of red blood on the ground, Fang Yu let out a sigh of relief.
After the hundredth body refinement, he had once suspected his blood had turned golden. Now it seemed that hadn’t happened.
“Young man, do you need help?” asked the uncle who was cleaning at the supermarket entrance, hurriedly walking over after seeing Fang Yu coughing up blood.
“I’m fine, thank you,” Fang Yu replied.
Such blood-coughing was normal for him. It happened periodically.
It had started four thousand years ago when he was still at over a thousand levels in the Qi Cultivation stage.
According to his master’s explanation, this happened because there was too much spiritual energy stored in his dantian, causing severe overload. Sometimes, the dantian needed to properly decompress, releasing some spiritual energy. This caused the true qi in his meridians to flow backward, resulting in blood-coughing.
At its worst, Fang Yu would cough up blood three times a week.
But as time passed and Fang Yu’s body refinements increased, the frequency of blood-coughing decreased.
Before today, Fang Yu hadn’t coughed up blood for a very long time, possibly over a decade.
“Seems like I’ve absorbed too much spiritual energy lately, and my dantian can’t handle it,” Fang Yu thought to himself.
…
When Fang Yu returned home, Yu Yueyue and Wang Yan were sitting on the couch watching TV.
“Brother Fang Yu,” Yu Yueyue was happy to see him.
She had rarely seen Fang Yu lately, both at home and at school.
“I bought groceries, I’ll cook dinner for you tonight,” Fang Yu said, carrying bags toward the kitchen.
“I’ll help!” Yu Yueyue excitedly stood up and followed Fang Yu into the kitchen.
With thousands of years of cooking experience, Fang Yu quickly prepared four dishes and a soup.
“Brother Fang Yu… I didn’t know you were such a good cook,” Yu Yueyue said at the dinner table, looking at Fang Yu in surprise after taking a few bites.
Fang Yu smiled slightly without saying anything.
With five thousand years of rich cooking experience, making delicious dishes wasn’t difficult for him.
“Xiao Yu, the college entrance exam is in a month, which university are you planning to apply to?” Wang Yan asked, looking at Fang Yu.
“I don’t know yet,” Fang Yu replied.
He wasn’t even sure if he would take the exam, but there was no need to tell Wang Yan that, or it would surely trigger a series of questions.
“What? No target yet? I heard from Yueyue that your grades are very good, why haven’t you set a goal?” Wang Yan frowned and asked.
“Yes, in the mock exam two months ago, Brother Fang Yu ranked first in the whole school! Our counselor even mentioned Brother Fang Yu’s name,” Yu Yueyue said.
“Xiao Yu, you must have a goal. The college entrance exam is one of the most important things in life, you can’t treat it so casually, you must plan well,” Wang Yan advised.
“Well, I might try for Yanching University or something,” Fang Yu said.
“Yanching University? That would be great if you could get in! It’s the best university in all of Nine States Country, but the grade requirements are very high, Xiao Yu, you’ll need to work hard,” Wang Yan said.
“Brother Fang Yu, my goal is also Yanching University! If you get in this year and I get in next year… we could be schoolmates!” Yu Yueyue said happily.
…
The next day at lunch break, just as Fang Yu was about to go to the cafeteria, he received a call from Qin Yimo.
They had rarely been in contact lately.
“Fang Yu, didn’t you tell me before that you had materials better than the Tiandou Crystal? Can you give me those materials now?” Qin Yimo said.
Hearing her words, Fang Yu was stunned for a moment before remembering that he had indeed said that.
Those materials were the scales from the thunder dragon he had killed under the Li River.
The thunder dragon’s scales were worth several times more than the Tiandou Crystal.
Because their properties were more suitable for making weapons or magical treasures.
“I can take you to get them,” Fang Yu said.
Half an hour later, Qin Yimo’s car arrived at the gate of Jianghai Middle School.
Fang Yu got in the car and said, “Drive to the walkway by the Li River.”
“Why go there? Weren’t you going to take me to get the materials?” Qin Yimo asked puzzled.
“The materials are there,” Fang Yu said.
Qin Yimo frowned slightly, not quite understanding Fang Yu’s meaning, but still instructed the driver to depart as Fang Yu said.
Today, Qin Yimo was wearing a business suit, but due to the hot weather, the jacket buttons were undone, revealing the white shirt underneath.
She wore light makeup, with her hair tied back.
“You seem to have been quite busy lately,” Qin Yimo said in the car.
“Yes, I’ve been to several places,” Fang Yu said.
“The day before yesterday, someone named Dao Tian caused quite a stir at the Nine States Country Protection Bureau headquarters. All major families in Yanching have heard about it,” Qin Yimo said, her beautiful eyes flickering as she looked at Fang Yu, “That was you, wasn’t it?”
“Yes,” Fang Yu nodded.
“Why did you suddenly represent the Protection Bureau headquarters in the competition? And you even seriously injured Xiao Chen from the Xiao family…” Qin Yimo said with slightly furrowed brows.
“Just made a deal with someone,” Fang Yu said calmly.
Qin Yimo shook her head and said, “It’s not that simple. You seriously injured Xiao Chen, and with the Xiao family’s style, they won’t let you off easily.”
“The Xiao family? Are they very powerful?” Fang Yu raised an eyebrow.
Qin Yimo frowned deeply and said, “How should I put it? Their power isn’t particularly great or small… mainly, their background is very deep, and most people dare not provoke them.”
“Oh, well that doesn’t matter, the one who injured Xiao Chen wasn’t me, it was Dao Tian,” Fang Yu smiled.
“You think a fake identity can cover everything? Don’t underestimate the Xiao family, if they want to investigate, they’ll definitely find out your real identity,” Qin Yimo said.
“Let them investigate, we’ll deal with it when they do,” Fang Yu said.
Fang Yu certainly knew that the fake identity of Dao Tian would be easily exposed.
Like the Order Keeper he met yesterday morning, who clearly knew his real identity.
However, Fang Yu didn’t care if his identity was exposed.
The Xiao family, Order Keepers, Fang Yu didn’t take any of them seriously.
Currently, he only cared about two things.
First was reaching ten thousand levels in Qi Cultivation. Second was news about the remnants of the Purple Flame Palace.
Seeing Fang Yu’s unconcerned attitude, Qin Yimo didn’t say anything more.
She had learned about the Xiao family from her grandfather.
And Qin Wudao hadn’t shown any reaction to this, apparently also believing the Xiao family couldn’t do anything to Fang Yu.
The car quickly arrived at the walkway beside the Li River.
This was where Fang Yu jogged every morning.
Since Fang Yu couldn’t remember the exact location anymore, he had the driver stop and walked along the walkway with Qin Yimo.
“Where are the materials?” Qin Yimo asked puzzled.
“Right down there,” Fang Yu said, looking at the Li River.
“In the river?” Qin Yimo’s expression changed, asking in surprise.
“Yes, but I don’t remember the exact location clearly, need to look around,” Fang Yu said.
How could the materials be at the bottom of the river?
Qin Yimo was completely confused and asked, “What exactly are these materials you mentioned?”
“Thunder dragon scales, and eyeballs…” Fang Yu answered casually as he walked.
“Thunder dragon scales…” Qin Yimo froze, then her expression changed dramatically.
Thunder dragon!?
A snake cultivates for a thousand years to become a dragon, and a dragon cultivates for a thousand years to become a true dragon!
Therefore, dragons were also called half-dragons!
Hadn’t this level of beast long gone extinct from the world?
“Are, are you serious?” Qin Yimo looked at Fang Yu, her beautiful eyes wide with shock.
“Of course it’s true, should be around here, wait here while I go down to look,” Fang Yu said.
With that, Fang Yu walked to the edge of the Li River and jumped in.
“Splash!”
On the walkway, Qin Yimo remained in a state of shock, staring blankly at the river surface.
Fang Yu slowly sank to the river bottom but didn’t see the thunder dragon’s corpse.
“Should be further ahead.”
Fang Yu swam forward and soon saw a dark shadow appear on the river bottom ahead.
Found it.
Fang Yu slowly swam forward.
But when he clearly saw the thunder dragon’s corpse, his expression changed.
