Chapter 106: Giving Away Dragon Eggs (First Update)

  "Ah, Lin Xi, you're carrying two large bundles on your back. What's going on? I and Qinglian Shijie saw from afar and were joking around, saying who was so capable of carrying two big bundles, did they bring their entire family fortune with them? Didn't expect it to be you."

  Shangguan Yaoyue said, looking at the package on Lin Xi's back, very curious.

  After being hit by Lin Xi like this, she didn't care about the vampire queen Camilla's affairs anymore. Perhaps, this was also where this girl was clever.

  "This one..."

  Lin Xi took off the package. He wasn't originally planning to reveal it, but the two people in front of him weren't outsiders either. Moreover, with Qinglian Holy Girl around, he estimated that even if others found out, they would have some reservations later on, and it was actually much better than carrying two dragon eggs outside.

  "This is what I unintentionally obtained while doing tasks in Hei Long Space."

  Lin Xi unintentionally mentioned the conflict between the disciples of Dou Shi and Tai A, but only vaguely spoke about it before revealing a corner of the package.

  "Ah! ——"

  When Yu Xue saw what was in Lin Xi's package, her eyes widened and she let out a cry of surprise. She had guessed what might be inside, but the one thing she hadn't expected was two eggs.

  "This is... This is Dragon Egg!"

  Qinglian Holy Girl stood by with a cold gaze, originally just to join in the fun. But seeing what was wrapped in Lin Xi's package, her pupils suddenly contracted, and she took three or four steps to rush to Lin Xi's side, stretching out her hand to paste it on the dragon egg, touching it gently.

  "Fourfold refinement of Qi... This is a Dragon Egg laid by the Black Dragon in the Realm of the Immortals!"

  Qinglian Holy Girl took a deep breath.

  Shangguan Yaoyue hadn't reacted yet, but Qinglian Holy Girl's knowledge was vast and profound. At a glance, she recognized that this was an egg laid by a black dragon in the fourth stage of Qi Refining, at the level of a Nascent Soul.

  Not only contains immense energy, can increase power, but also has the effect of increasing lifespan. Once refined into a pill, it is a rare and precious longevity pill in the Xian Tao sect!

  The status of the Holy Maiden of Qinglian is extraordinary, and ordinary things can't be seen in her eyes. However, the Xianshou Dan is different, even for the Holy Maiden, the Xianshou Dan is still an extremely precious elixir, more rare than other elixirs that increase one's power.

  After all, one's abilities can be acquired through practice, but longevity is not so simple!

  Qinglian Holy Girl originally thought that Lin Xi was just a nominal disciple, and there was nothing on him worth her attention. Even now, she only spoke to Lin Xi because of Shangguan Yaoyue's relationship with him.

  However, she did not expect that Lin Xi, a nominal disciple, would have such a thing.

  The Saint of Clear Lotus took a deep breath.

  "Lin Xi, I know this request is a bit inhumane. But please, you must agree with me."

  Qinglian Holy Girl looked at Lin Xi, her breathing was a bit urgent, obviously she didn't have any grasp on it either, and Lin Xi would definitely agree:

  "This black dragon's egg is very important to me! I hope you can give it to me, of course, if you have any requests, just say so, I definitely won't let you lose out."

  Shangguan Yaoyue was taken aback, without a doubt, this request also exceeded her expectations. She did not expect Qinglian Holy Maiden to make such an abrupt request either.

  Lin Xi raised his head, also slightly surprised. The Holy Maiden of Qinglian wanting to obtain the dragon egg didn't surprise him. What truly surprised him was the urgent flavor revealed in the Holy Maiden's eyes. It seemed that this dragon egg held an importance to her that couldn't be compared to anything else; losing it would mean losing something irreplaceable.

  The Sect's Holy Maiden has an extraordinary status, enjoying treatment that surpasses even the inner sect disciples. It can be said that she is not lacking in medicinal pills to increase her powers.

  A black dragon egg is very effective for a cultivator like Lin Xi at this level. The effect of increasing his power is also quite obvious. However, for a Seventh-Order Cultivator, a Saintess of that caliber, it should be far less noticeable.

  After all, it's just a dragon egg laid by the Black Dragon of the Qi Xian Realm. Its cultivation is not even comparable to that of the Clear Lotus Saintess. For those strong practitioners who have refined their qi seven times, its effect is clearly limited.

  "Could it be..."

  A glimmer of light flashed in Lin Xi's eyes, as if he was thinking of something.

  Qinglian Holy Girl saw Lin Xi's non-reaction and thought he was just not responding, slightly losing her composure, she said:

  "Lin Xi, it's not that I want to take advantage of you as a senior. Moreover, this dragon egg is very important to me."

  The holy maiden Qinglian's slender fingers gently lifted, her temples' raven-black and glossy hair slightly rose, revealing a few strands of silver-white hair. These white hairs were hidden deep within her hair, intentionally concealed by Qinglian's hairstyle and the outer layer of black hair. If not for her hand lifting it, they would not have been easily discovered.

  "Sister, you!......"

  Shangguan Yaoyue was shocked. It turned out that she had also seen the white hair on Qinglian Shengnu's head for the first time:

  "Sister, how did your hair end up like this."

  "Sister, you've misunderstood."

  Lin Xi saw Qinglian Shengnu reveal her white hair, although she didn't understand what was going on, but also knew that she had misunderstood:

  "It's just a dragon egg, I'm not attached to it. Since Sister Shifu needs it, take it!"

  Lin Xi handed over the dragon egg.

  Lin Xi was not a person who couldn't read the situation, and one dragon egg was indeed very important to him. But it wasn't indispensable. During his journey in the Black Dragon Space, he had obtained three dragon eggs in total.

  One was given to Camilla, and even if he gave one more to Qinglian Holy Girl, he still had one left. Not to mention that he also had a dragon dan of the black dragon in his arms, which was a four-realm gas-refining spiritual treasure.

  That dragon dan also has the effect of increasing lifespan, but in terms of increasing power, it is still far inferior to the dragon egg.

  Missing a dragon egg, Lin Xi's power will be affected, but not much, at most, his power will only weaken slightly. But the Qinglian Holy Girl is different.

  Any fairy, in the Xian Tao sect's position and influence, is not something that can be compared to a dragon egg. If one dragon egg could be exchanged for the friendship of a fairy, then Lin Xi would still have made a huge profit.

  After all, don't forget that Lin Xi still has a mortal enemy in Shen Xiao Sect, Long Bingyan.

  The only one who can defeat a Saintess is another Saintess.

  Lin Xi's foundation in Shen Xiao Sect is too shallow. During this period, Lin Xi has fully felt the predicament of being alone and powerless.

  To develop within the Xian Dao sect, one must have a background and a backer.

  Lin Xi was still considering how to solve this problem. Unexpectedly, Qinglian Holy Girl appeared in front of him and gave herself such a good opportunity.

  This can be said to be a chance from heaven, how could Lin Xi refuse again!

  "Lin Xi, thank you. I owe you one."

  Qinglian Shengnu took a deep breath and accepted the Black Dragon Egg:

  "This dragon egg, I've taken it. Once I refine it into a pill, at the very least, it will increase my lifespan by 20 years, which is also a temporary solution to the pressing danger I'm currently facing."

  "Sister Master, you are a sect's holy maiden, your lifespan should be much longer than ordinary people. You should still have a very long life ahead of you, how can there be such an urgent crisis?"

  Shangguan Yaoyue was stunned.

  Lin Xi also showed a look of attention. This was also what he was curious about. Without a doubt, the Qinglian Holy Maiden had taken a liking to the dragon egg, and the only reason for this could be the dragon egg's ability to increase one's lifespan, rather than its effect on increasing one's power.

  "This is a long story, before you arrived at Shenxiu Mountain, I had once entered the 'Gate of Life', burning 100 years of my lifespan in exchange for the immortal energy granted by the Gate of Life. This dragon egg, which would normally increase one's lifespan by 80 years for ordinary people, only has an effect of 20 years on me."

  The words of Holy Lotus Girl are not all sighs and whispers.

  "What is this place, the Gate of Life?"

  Lin Xi was shocked.

  "That is a place within the inner gate, where one can exchange their lifespan for power. Any inner disciple can enter. It's said that among our sect, there was an elder with unimaginable abilities who unintentionally captured it from the endless void."

  The Way of the Holy Lotus

  "When it was first captured, it was like a meteorite. Even the seniors of our sect didn't know its origin. Later, it transformed into a gate. By burning one's lifespan, one can obtain power. The seniors of our sect didn't pay much attention to it and placed it on a mountain peak within the inner sect. There are many places like this in our sect. In the future, when your cultivation reaches a certain level, you will understand."

  Lin Xi remained silent, with many thoughts flashing through his mind.

  It was also his first time knowing that there existed something that could exchange lifespan for power. The impact on him was still quite huge.

  "If I..."

  Lin Xi's heart skipped a beat, and an enticing thought involuntarily emerged. However, it was quickly suppressed by him.

  It's too dangerous to gain power through burning lifespan!

  "Sister, how did you think of going to burn your lifespan? This is really too dangerous."

  Shangguan Yaoyue said. She was still concerned about this.

  "Girl, wait until you're in my position someday. Then you'll know that some things are unavoidable."

  The Holy Maiden of Clear Lotus shook her head and smiled.

  "Sister, can you help me with something? I have a close relative who also needs the life-extending medicine. When your elixir is ready, can you spare a few pills for me?"

  Lin Xi spoke up.

  "Oh?"

  Qinglian Shengnu's beautiful eyes blinked once, and she asked with some curiosity:

  "If it's just a few, then there's no problem. However, who is this for? If it's an ordinary person who doesn't practice martial arts, they might not be able to withstand the effects of this immortal Dao elixir."

  "That's not me. I'm asking on behalf of a senior fellow from my sect who is over 90 years old and doesn't have much time left, so I want to ask for some elixirs to prolong his life."

  Lin Xi thought of was Zhao Xiong, the great elder of the Wu Lei Sect.

  The Great Elder was at the peak of the tenth level of martial arts, but unfortunately, he was already old and had no chance to break through to the Refining Qi realm. However, with the Longevity Pill, it would be different. Plus, Lin Xi's acquisition of the "Immortal Dao Token" made it highly likely that he could still break through to the tenth level of Refining Qi.

  "Oh? If it's like that, then there's no problem."

  The Holy Maiden of Clear Lotus nodded slightly, a hint of unusual color flashing in her eyes.

  She originally thought Lin Xi was seeking for her own sake, but unexpectedly, it was for a worldly senior of the sect. People who come to the Immortal Path world have basically severed their ties with the mundane world. Few people would think of going to seek something on behalf of an elder in the mundane world.

  Just this point alone made Qinglian feel that Lin Xi's character was quite good and worth befriending.
