Yu Shuntian picked up the corpse of the cauliflower snake on the ground and applied force at the seven-inch mark.
A green inner core was squeezed out.
Looking at the inner core, which was only the size of a glass ball, Yu Shuntian chuckled, "As I guessed."
He then handed the inner core over. Yu Daochen took it, somewhat surprised.
This fellow's inner core was too small. Even the inner core of a demon with eight hundred years of cultivation was larger.
After putting away the inner core, Yu Daochen looked at the cauliflower snake's corpse in his grandfather's hand and asked, "Grandpa, what are you going to do with this thing's body?"
The cauliflower snake's true form wasn't particularly large, only slightly bigger than an ordinary one.
"This is a snake that has lived for fifteen hundred years. Its flesh and blood are great tonics. Let's pack it up first," Yu Shuntian said, putting the cauliflower snake's corpse into his bag.
Seeing that they had arrived in a completely unfamiliar place, Yu Daochen said, "It seems we have to go back the way we came."
Yu Shuntian smiled faintly and shook his head, "Although Lu Wen is not very strong, his ability to find people is considerable. We just need to wait here."
As soon as he finished speaking, a figure walked out from behind them.
Although it was late at night, they could vaguely make out that it was Lu Wen by the moonlight.
Lu Wen saw that the grandfather and grandson were not accompanied by the cauliflower snake and asked, "Did it get away?"
Yu Shuntian patted his bag and chuckled, "It's dealt with. Let's continue on our way."
Looking at Yu Shuntian's casual tone, Lu Wen couldn't help but be surprised.
A great demon of fifteen hundred years had been killed by this grandfather and grandson.
Lu Wen continued to lead the way, with the grandfather and grandson following behind.
After this incident, the three of them were certain that the dragon bone was located here.
Before long, the three arrived at the top of a mountain. Before them lay a reservoir, and in the middle, two protrusions resembling bull horns were visible.
Due to the distance, the flashlight beam could not reach them.
Yu Daochen was about to dive into the water to investigate when he heard Lu Wen beside him mockingly say, "Kid, why risk your life when you can solve it with tools?"
Yu Daochen said nothing, quietly watching this fellow's performance.
Lu Wen put down his backpack and began to rummage through it. He pulled out a small wooden crocodile.
The crocodile was not large, about the length of a forearm.
Lu Wen patted the small crocodile's head and said with a smile, "Good boy, it's up to you now."
The wooden crocodile began to wriggle. Lu Wen walked to the water's edge and placed it in.
The crocodile disappeared into the water.
Lu Wen sat down cross-legged, his eyes slightly closed, and said no more.
Seeing him like this, Yu Daochen admired the Lu Ban Shu even more.
The art of creation recorded in the Lu Ban Shu was truly remarkable.
It could fly in the sky and dive into the water.
After a moment, Lu Wen suddenly opened his eyes, overjoyed and excited, "There really is a dragon bone!"
At these words, the grandfather and grandson both looked towards the two exposed horns in the distance.
Suddenly, Lu Wen's expression changed drastically, and he shouted, "This dragon is still alive!"
"What!"
Yu Daochen was astonished, "This dragon is still alive!"
Yu Shuntian's expression also turned serious. Six silver needles had appeared in his hand at some point, ready for battle.
"Pfft—"
Lu Wen suddenly spat out a mouthful of blood, too terrified to speak, and looked at the water's surface, "It... it's coming out!"
Immediately, a terrifying roar echoed, and the surrounding environment began to tremble.
Is this the power of a true dragon?
A single roar instilled fear from the depths of one's heart.
A colossal figure emerged from the water's surface.
Yu Daochen looked up. Its half-exposed body alone was over ten meters long.
Upon clearly seeing the creature, all three gasped.
The true dragon was dead, leaving only a skeleton and a heart.
"What is this thing!?"
Yu Daochen was full of confusion.
He knew it was a true dragon, but why was only a skeleton left?
Yu Shuntian, being well-traveled, said, "This true dragon has probably been dead for hundreds of years. It's likely its soul causing trouble."
Hearing this, Yu Daochen furrowed his brows and asked, "Grandpa, do you have confidence?"
"Let's fight first!"
As soon as Yu Shuntian finished speaking, the silver needles in his hand shot out.
Yu Daochen didn't hesitate. He drew the Kang Long Jian from his waist, then traced his finger to ignite a fierce flame, which he then unleashed.
The flaming sword energy slashed across the water's surface.
Lu Wen could only watch from the side.
His combat power was not strong; he could only rely on the Yu grandfather and grandson.
The dragon bone roared in response and blew away the incoming silver needles. Then, it swung its left claw.
Bang!
The flaming sword energy was shattered by a claw.
"Use your ultimate move directly. If we can't handle this beast, we'll retreat."
Yu Shuntian said, taking out a silver needle and narrowing his eyes.
"Okay!"
Yu Daochen nodded. His left eye condensed, and the Samsara Blood Tears flowed out, forming a giant sword.
Yu Shuntian focused his power on the silver needle and shot it out, shouting, "Town Cang Sheng Zhi Jiang Long Zhen (Dragon Subduing Needle that Suppresses All Beings)."
As the silver needle flew out, a golden dragon followed closely behind, shooting towards the dragon bone.
Seeing this, Yu Daochen waved his hand, controlling the giant sword to slash out, "Blood Tear Greatsword 2.0, go!"
The dragon bone looked at the approaching golden dragon and bit at it, while it used its claws to fend off the giant sword.
Bang!
The dragon bone's entire head was blown to smithereens by the golden dragon, and the Blood Tear Greatsword cleaved its body in two.
The dragon bone fell, but a wisp of soul floated out from its heart.
Lu Wen reacted quickly, pulling out a wooden bottle and throwing it. He formed a hand seal and shouted, "Collect!"
The soul was instantly collected into the bottle, which then floated back into Lu Wen's hand.
Lu Wen looked at the bottle in his hand, ecstatic.
He was rich!
This was the soul of a true dragon, a treasure that was priceless in the market.
This soul alone could buy a second-rate sect.
One could imagine how expensive the soul of a true dragon was.
Lu Wen was about to put it into his pocket.
Seeing this, Yu Daochen was about to speak, but his grandfather spoke first.
"Cough... cough... cough."
Yu Shuntian coughed violently, then sighed helplessly, lamenting, "Alas, I'm truly old. Just using one ultimate move makes my legs ache. Alas~"
Lu Wen knew what this old fox was thinking and said irritably, "Without my specially made soul-collecting bottle, you wouldn't have been able to take this true dragon soul, so..."
Before he could finish, Yu Shuntian coughed a few more times and shook his head helplessly, "I'm really getting old. My legs aren't as nimble as they were when I was young. Don't you think so, my good grandson."
Yu Daochen immediately understood and nodded, smiling, "Grandpa, you're fine. Your grandson is in his prime, and his legs are 'very' nimble."
"Hmm."
Yu Shuntian sighed deeply, his gaze unconsciously drifting towards Lu Wen beside him, but he said nothing.
Seeing the behavior of the grandfather and grandson, Lu Wen reluctantly handed over the soul-collecting bottle, "Here, take it. This thing is yours now."
