Chapter 676: Transaction
Translator: CKtalon Editor: CKtalon
As Qin Yun obtained the ten wisps of bloodline powers, in the distant Dragon Great World, a massive divine dragon was asleep. He was none other than the Dragon race’s ancestor, the Ancestral Dragon.
Among the perfected Great Dao existences in the Three Realms, the three strongest existences recognized were the Buddhist Amita, Hou Yi, and Ancestral Dragon!
They were almost equal...
Hou Yi had terrifyingly potent offensive means.
The Ancestral Dragon cultivated his body to the half-step Heavenly Dao realm!
Amita was the lord of the Western Paradise. He had various great divine powers. For instance, he was the fastest under the Heavenly Dao realm.
As for God King Zhurong, who later regained freedom, he had only reigned supreme early in the Three Realms. Furthermore, he suffered a heavy setback as a result of Hou Yi the moment he returned. Therefore, in the hearts of the Three Realms experts, Zhurong’s strength was naturally weaker than Hou Yi’s, thus, weaker than the Ancestral Dragon and Amita.
Qin Yun was a perfected Great Dao sword immortal and he had an Intrinsic Connate Cardinal treasure in hand. He was also recognized as being at the half-step Heavenly Dao realm. However, he had cultivated for too short a time. He was also only ranked at the half-step Heavenly Dao realm when he used his Intrinsic Flying Sword. Furthermore, he was good at defense, but much weaker at offensive means. To the Three Realms experts... he was slightly weaker than Hou Yi, Ancestral Dragon, and Amita.
“Oh?” Ancestral Dragon opened his golden eyes that looked far away at the Heavenly realm.
“I can sense from the heavenly secrets that my Great Dao opportunity lies in that direction.” The Ancestral Dragon’s strength was unfathomable. Furthermore, the thing he sensed was related to him; therefore, he was able to detect that sliver of opportunity.
“Whoosh.”
Ancestral Dragon transformed into a black-robed man and with one step, he arrived in the Heavenly realm.
Midair of the Heavenly realm.
The black-robed man continued following his senses as he constantly proceeded forward.
Moments later.
“Oh?”
The black-robed man stood on a cloud as he looked at a lofty mountain in front of him. He frowned. “Mt. Lightning Roar. That’s Sword Immortal Qin’s Mt. Lightning Roar? Why would my opportunity be here? I heard that Sword Immortal Qin recently returned from the spatial tide. Could it be that he has obtained something from there, something that is my Great Dao opportunity?
“However, I can sense that he isn’t here in person. The only thing that’s left here is his avatar.”
The black-robed man suddenly turned his head.
A beam of light descended upon Mt. Lightning Roar. It was none other than Qin Yun who had just returned from Green Touring Palace.
“Daoist Qin.” The black-robed man immediately spoke out with a smile.
Soon.
The clouds at the top of Mt. Lightning Roar split apart as Qin Yun walked out in astonishment.
“How rare is it for the Ancestral Dragon to come to my Mt. Lightning Roar,” said Qin Yun with a smile. “Come, please come to my place and have some refreshments.”
The black-robed man nodded with a smile. “Then, I’ll be imposing on you.”
The duo entered and sat across each other in a garden in Qin Manor. Yi Xiao personally came to offer the alcohol. She looked at the black-robed man with glimmering eyes, for she knew that he was the ancestor of all dragons in the Three Realms, the Ancestral Dragon. And she was a dragon as well. To see the Ancestral Dragon was quite a thrill.
The black-robed man smiled at Yi Xiao who left after serving the drinks.
“Daoist Qin, your wife is also a dragon. Now, three juniors of the Qin family have a dragon bloodline. It seems you are really fated with my Dragon race.” The black-robed man laughed. If the Qin family juniors cultivated in Daoist Dharmic formulations, allowing their human bloodlines to take the upper hand, they would not turn into dragons. The contrary was their turning into dragons.
The Qin family did have a few whom had turned into dragons.
“We are indeed very fated.” Qin Yun held up his cup. “Come, have a taste of this. Perhaps it’s incomparable to your Dragon race’s collections, but it’s also some of the finest alcohol I’ve collected when traveling the Three Realms.”
“Alright.”
The black-robed raised his cup and took a sip. His eyes lit up. “It is indeed very unique.”
Qin Yun smiled. “I don’t have many hobbies, but I enjoy fine food and drink. By the way, might I know why you are here today?”
“I came here to ask a favor of you, Daoist Qin,” said the black-robed man directly.
“Please, speak your mind,” said Qin Yun.
He was very respectful towards the Ancestral Dragon.
Furthermore, the Ancestral Dragon had cultivated his body to the half-step Heavenly Dao realm. He had astonishing combat strength and once the Dao Ancestors, Buddhist Ancestor, Fiend Ancestor, and company were forced to leave the Three Realms, the Ancestral Dragon would be invincible! When that happened, the dragons would likely prosper. After all, only the Daoist Three Pure Ones could suppress him at the moment, so there was a limitation to the assertiveness of the dragons.
Without the Heavenly Dao realm, the dragons would be a lot more assertive.
Furthermore, Qin Yun also knew that if he really failed to transcend the tribulations in the future, he had to ensure a backup plan for his family. He had offended the fiends terribly, and few experts could protect the Qin family. The Ancestral Dragon was one of those few.
“I can sense that you have a treasure on you. It is where my Great Dao opportunity lies.” The black-robed man looked at Qin Yun.
“A Great Dao opportunity of yours?” Qin Yun was taken aback before immediately understanding.
The Ancestral Dragon cultivated his body to the half-step Heavenly Dao realm.
The bloodline powers he obtained were a Heavenly Dao realm bloodline power that belonged to another universe’s physical lineage! In the Three Realms, it would benefit the Ancestral Dragon the most!
“Since this involves an opportunity for my Dao attainment, please help me. I will not let you down,” the black-robed man said with utmost confidence.
“Ancestral Dragon, I believe you are speaking of this...” Qin Yun flipped his hand and took out a jade bottle. A golden thread flew out from inside.
Upon seeing the golden thread, the black-robed man’s eyes lit up. He immediately looked at it carefully and revealed an excited look of delight. “Yes, yes, yes. It’s this. This is bloodline of a Heavenly Dao realm expert who cultivates his body? I never expected that there are other Heavenly Dao realm experts who cultivate their bodies apart from Pangu.”
“This is something I chanced upon in the spatial tide,” said Qin Yun.
“That makes it the Heavenly Dao realm of another universe.” The black-robed man looked in excitement at the golden thread. “However, the Great Dao is the same everywhere. The cultivation Dharmic formulations might be different, but the charms of the Great Dao are the same. Daoist Qin, please be willing to part with this bloodline power! Feel free to name your price.”
He was bent on having it!
The golden thread contained secrets that were too mystical. He needed to take his time to study it.
For instance, the Pangu bloodline power was something the Heavenly Lord of Numinous Treasure had studied for an extended period of time after obtaining it. He had given it to Qin Yun when it was no longer useful to him. Furthermore, the Ancestral Dragon had yet to reach the Heavenly Dao realm... This wisp of bloodline powers was probably something he could not fully understand until he attained it.
“Ancestral Dragon, you want it?” Qin Yun hesitated.
“I know how extremely valuable this item is. Daoist Qin, what conditions must I meet before you are willing to sell it to me? Feel free to raise them,” said Ancestral Dragon solemnly. At his realm, few things in the Three Realms attracted him.
In fact, even the Lotus Seed of Fate from before was not as attractive to the Ancestral Dragon as this wisp of bloodline powers.
“Condition?” Qin Yun hesitated. There was little in Three Realms that attracted him as well.
After all, the Dao Ancestors and Buddhist Ancestor had the Pangu bloodline powers in their collections, but they were extremely precious. After all, it was a key that led to the Heavenly Dao realm of the physical lineage.
As the bloodline powers of Heavenly Dao realm experts were rare, and something only Qin Yun had, its value was far above the Pangu bloodline powers.
“Daoist Qin, please help me,” said Ancestral Dragon earnestly.
“Let’s do it this way,” said Qin Yun. “Three Ancestral Dragon Blood Crystals. In addition, you will have to agree to one thing.”
Ancestral Dragon revealed a look of delight. “Daoist Qin, what do you want me to do?”
“I hope he’s not requesting me to join him in the spatial tide,” thought Ancestral Dragon.
The spatial tide... was some place he was unwilling to go to.
It was not that he feared it. Instead, all the dragons in the Three Realms relied on him to enjoy their present standing. Furthermore, once the Dao Ancestors and company left the Three Realms, the Three Realms would turn more chaotic. If the dragons did not have him, the dragons would likely be enslaved by numerous experts of the Three Realms, turning into mounts or slaves.
He needed to live; therefore, he absolutely did not wish to enter any land of peril.
“I wish that you will agree to... protect my Qin family,” said Qin Yun, “at least for three blood generations.”
The Ancestral Dragon immediately heaved a sigh of relief when he heard that. “Daoist Qin, don’t worry. Since I’ve received your treasure and agreed to it, I will definitely do my best to protect your Qin family. I will ensure the safety of at least three blood generations of yours.”
Qin Yun nodded.
The Ancestral Dragon could only do his best. Whether he could ensure their safety was still an unknown.
As the Ancestral Dragon, he needed to preside over the Dragon race’s dominion for an extended period of time! He was rather far from the Heavenly realm. Among the preparations Qin Yun had made for his family before his tribulation, the Ancestral Dragon was one. Although the Ancestral Dragon was powerful, he was ultimately burdened by too many matters.
“These are the three Blood Crystals.” The Ancestral Dragon spat out three purple blood crystals. If one looked carefully inside, there was a lustrous glow floating within.
“These three Ancestral Dragon Blood Crystals are most effective when taken as a Skydragon,” said Ancestral Dragon. “It can rejuvenate them, raising their dragon bloodlines to that of my few children. Their strength will also rapidly rise to that of a half-step mighty figure.”
Qin Yun nodded and accepted them with a wave of his hand.
The Ancestral Dragon Blood Crystals were rather valuable, just like how Skydragon Blood Crystals came from Skydragons.
To make the Ancestral Dragon produce three Ancestral Dragon Blood Crystals harmed his essence, but with his strength, just three blood crystals had a trivial influence. All he needed to do was expend some treasures to slowly recover the damage. If he had to produce ten at a time, that would severely damage him. It was even possible that it would be irreparable.
The Ancestral Dragon used a jade bottle to store away the golden thread. After receiving the treasure, he was rather happy. “I pretty much fleeced you this time. In the future, feel free to seek me if you need my help.”
“Definitely.” Qin Yun nodded.
Indeed, the Ancestral Dragon had the upper hand in this transaction.
It was quite normal to exchange five Ancestral Dragon Blood Crystals with one wisp of Pangu’s bloodline powers.
The bloodline powers Qin Yun held were rarer and were urgently wanted by the Ancestral Dragon. Even if he had raised the price, the Ancestral Dragon would have agreed to it. However, it was likely that it would displease the Ancestral Dragon.
Now, the Ancestral Dragon was extremely delighted, and their relationship also became a lot closer.
“I shall not impose any longer. Goodbye.” Ancestral Dragon stood up.
Qin Yun also stood up to send him off.
As Qin Yun watched the Ancestral Dragon leave, he nodded slightly. “My Qin family has dragon blood and a few who have turned into dragons! With the Ancestral Dragon Blood Crystal, my Qin family descendants will have stronger bloodlines. In a way, I’m saving for a rainy day.”
This was also one of the preparations he made for his family before his tribulation.
