Chapter 2391: The Third Rib
"A chi dragon?!" This time, not only Wu Feng and Zhou Ming felt curious, even Old Man Zhang and Xiao Lan on the side also stared at the cloaked old man with wide eyes.
The cloaked old man turned his head and smiled faintly at the crowd, this smile blossomed out on his mature face, it was very charming, this man was indeed a beautiful man.
"Not bad, it is chi dragons, not to hide from the two on the difference, the old man when I was young also cultivation, once in the hidden scripture cabinet in a book to see the record of this monster, that is written: 'in the sea there is a fish gnarled, the tail is like a scops owl, stirring the waves that is the rainfall' so he made its image in the tail, in order to loathe the fire good luck. The 'wizards' mentioned in the text are the Fangshi, and the 'fish and gnarls' are the predecessors of chi dragons. The chi dragon is water-based, and it was used as an evil-control object to avoid fire. According to the records above, the monster that you two superiors killed should be a fish gnarl that hasn't fully evolved into a chi dragon yet, and can barely be considered a chi dragon."
"But that book says that this fish gnarl is a monster that lives in the sea, so how could it be in the middle of this Divine Dragon Lake, this is too somewhat unreasonable, right?" Zhou Ming curiously said.
"Then the old man doesn't know, that is indeed what is written on that ancient book." The cloaked old man added.
"Whatever it is, anyway, it has already been killed by both of our master and brother, all burnt to ashes." Zhou Ming waved his hand and said.
Suddenly, the cloaked old man stopped and asked the two of them, "When you incinerated that chi dragon, didn't you burn it for a day and a night and still not be able to incinerate all of it, ultimately leaving behind half of the skeleton and half of the head?"
"Yeah, the people of the whole city know about this." Zhou Ming interjected.
"That's right." The cloaked old man said with a straight face, "Legend has it that the scales and bones of a thing like a chi dragon are the hardest, especially the third rib on the left side of its back, which is harder than any metal in this world, because that third rib is where it stores its inner elixir, and after its death, part of the inner elixir's essence is incorporated into that third rib, so if uses the third rib of the dragon to cast a sword, and then finds a master craftsman to make a sword. If you use the third rib of a chi dragon to cast a sword, and then find a talisman making expert to draw runes on it to restrain all kinds of sinister and evil things, then this sword made from the third rib of the chi dragon's back will become a very powerful magic weapon, definitely a divine weapon."
Hearing this, Wu Feng and Zhou Ming were both shocked, Zhou Ming anxiously slapped his thigh and painfully said, "No wonder the bones of that demonic beast can't be burned with Pure Yang Flame, it turns out that there's such a secret in it, oops! It's really a storm of heavenly objects ah, such a good treasure I even let that dog official buried, God, I must what chi dragon's ribs to dig out, to go to the Terminal South Mountain sword casting!"
Zhou Ming anxiously scratched his ears and grabbed Wu Feng's arm and was about to leave, when he suddenly remembered something and turned his head to look at the cloaked old man, wondering, "This old man Hu, there is one thing that I don't understand, since you said that the ribs of this chi …… chi what's-his-name's thing are so precious, why didn't you secretly dig out its ribs to forge a sword, but you want to tell me about it?"
The cloaked old man sighed and said with some loss, "Since the old man almost drowned in the Divine Dragon Lake more than ten years ago, he is no longer a member of the Taoist Sect, and living in seclusion on the shore of this Divine Dragon Lake, he only wants to live some clean days, and doesn't want to get involved in the strife of the jianghu, so what's the use of using such a good magic weapon?"
