chapter 2 rat

The medicinal liquid melted into his belly, and Drake Dragon hurriedly used his thoughts to guide it, spreading the medicinal liquid and integrating it into his limbs.

Usually, when warriors absorb medicine, they integrate it into the Dantian and then transport it to all parts of the body. However, Drake Dragon has no spiritual roots, and the Dantian is empty and unable to store energy.

The power of the medicine can only be dispersed in every cell. Although these medicines are ordinary herbs, after Drake Dragon's combination, they exerted extremely powerful effects.

As the power of the medicine pours into the body, countless pores slowly open, and every cell, like a person who is about to suffocate, crazily absorbs the aura of the world.

"boom"

There was a muffled sound in Drake Dragon body, and the originally closed meridians were instantly opened, and Drake Dragon couldn't help but groan.

When others practice, they use the energy of the Dantian to slowly open the meridians, step by step, without any pain.

But Drake Dragon couldn't do it. He needed to use external energy, which was like causing seawater to pour into the river fields. Not everyone could bear the ferocious power.

"It hurts, okay, I remember this pain."Drake Dragon gritted his teeth. If someone hadn't stolen his spiritual root, how could he use such a crazy method?

"Bang bang bang..."

There were continuous explosions in Drake Dragon body, and the meridians opened one after another. Every time the meridians were opened, Drake Dragon would experience severe pain.

When the meridians throughout his body were opened, Drake Dragon almost fainted. It took him a full hour to recover before Drake Dragon recovered.

Now that the pain has passed, Drake Dragon feels that the pores all over his body are opening. As he breathes, the invisible spiritual energy between heaven and earth is slowly being absorbed by him.

"Very good, the meridians have been opened and I can finally practice."

Drake Dragon felt his body. Now that his meridians were opened, he could naturally absorb the spiritual energy of heaven and earth through his pores, nourish his body, and make his body stronger.

Although the meridians have just been opened now, Drake Dragon body is full of strength after the transformation of spiritual energy.

"call"

A punch came out, with the sound of howling wind, and a smile appeared on Drake Dragon face. This pain was not in vain.

Ordinary people who practice cultivation must first enter the Qi Sensing Realm. After being able to sense spiritual energy, they can enter the Qi Gathering Realm.

However, Drake Dragon Jian took a different approach and used the power of medicine to open the pores, forcibly stimulating the power of the spiritual energy of heaven and earth, penetrating the meridians, and entering the Qi Gathering Realm in one fell swoop.

However, this Qi Gathering Realm refers to the strength of Drake Dragon's body being nourished and entering the Qi Gathering Realm. Because he has no Dantian and cannot condense cyclones, he is not really in the Qi Gathering Realm.

"Although the meridians have been forcibly opened now, the true energy cannot be stored in the Dantian. Fighting with others cannot last long, and it still won't work."

Drake Dragon searched for a long time in his memory, and suddenly found the only martial arts memory among countless alchemy techniques - the Nine-Star Hegemonic Body Art.

What surprised Drake Dragon was that the Nine Star Hegemonic Body Technique was tailor-made for him. It was a secret technique that unlocked the secrets of the human body. It cultivated not the Dantian but the Nine Stars.

The nine stars are the nine secret treasures in the human body. If the nine secret treasures are opened, it is equivalent to opening the nine dantian. Seeing this, Drake Dragon almost jumped up.

But when he saw what was behind him, Drake Dragon heart suddenly turned cold. That was the practice of the Nine Star Hegemon Body Art, which required the consumption of countless pills.

Just the condensation of the first star, Fengfu Star, will consume countless energy. If that energy is absorbed by external forces, it will not be able to condense even if it takes a hundred years.

If you want to condense the first star, you must use elixirs, and the number of elixirs is frightening. Otherwise, you will not be able to practice at all.

But now that the Long family is in a difficult situation, they simply don't have the financial resources to buy elixirs. What's more, the pills he took cannot be regarded as elixirs.

“I have to find a way to make some money.”

Drake Dragon pondered for a moment, changed his clothes, and walked out of the room. It was already past noon, but there were not many people in the huge Hou Mansion, which made it look extremely desolate.

Drake Dragon's father, the Marquis of Zhenyuan, has always lived in the wilderness. Over the years, Drake Dragon mother and son have been looked down upon by everyone in the imperial capital. Although they have titles, they still live a very miserable life. In the entire Marquis Mansion, there are only more than a dozen maids and handymen. It’s just people, because there are too many people and they can’t support them.

It can be said that among all the princes, the Long family is the most depressed family, and Drake Dragon is the most depressed among all the princes.

The martial arts in the Fengming Empire was at its peak, and everyone practiced martial arts. However, Drake Dragon had a special physique and was unable to practice martial arts, which made him the object of ridicule.

On the contrary to Drake Dragon, Drake Dragon's father Tian Xiao was an unparalleled strong man who guarded the borderlands. Even with the ferocity of the barbarians, he could not invade the Fengming Empire even half a step.

Leon Dragon was the military god of the Fengming Empire, while Drake Dragon was a waste who couldn't even sense Qi. He couldn't help but make people feel like the father of a tiger and the son of a dog.

Countless people laughed at him, but Drake Dragon didn't care, but a few days ago, Ethan Zhou, the eldest son of Manhuang Hou, laughed at Drake Dragon for not being Leon Dragon's son.

Drake Dragon was so angry that he was clearly insulting his mother's disloyalty. Drake Dragon, who was already overwhelmed with anger, brazenly launched a duel with the other party.

But the opponent was a strong man from the seventh level of Qi gathering. He was an ordinary person who couldn't even feel Qi. He was simply bringing humiliation upon himself.

That's why there was news that Drake Dragon was knocked unconscious and sent back to the Long family. For a while, Drake Dragon became the laughing stock of the entire imperial capital.

After leaving the Hou Mansion, Drake Dragon went straight to Baicao in the Imperial Capital, where various precious medicinal materials were sold. He needed to know about the market for medicinal herbs.

Many people along the way couldn't help but point fingers when they saw Drake Dragon coming out. Drake Dragon was used to this.

At the same time, he secretly sneered in his heart, his father suppressed the border wilderness and made extraordinary achievements for the entire Fengming Empire.

But what did you get? Their mother and son were bullied and looked down upon in the imperial capital, and they were almost beaten to death. Is this a reward? A group of people who were protected by their father turned their backs on me. Is this repayment?

Drake Dragon quickened his pace. Although he was not afraid of such eyes, he would always feel a little unhappy, but at this moment, his way was blocked.

"Hey, isn't this the Crown Prince Long Chen? I heard that he didn't even recognize his own mother after being beaten. Why did he run out alive and kicking today?"

In front of Drake Dragon, a young man in fine clothes who looked to be sixteen or seventeen years old, accompanied by two guards, was looking at Drake Dragon with a mocking expression.

This person is also an eldest son from a princely family, his name is Tom Li, but his title is not high, and his status is incomparable with Drake Dragon. However, in Fengming Empire, title and status are secondary, and the most important thing is strength.

Tom Li was standing in the middle of the road at this time. If Drake Dragon wanted to pass, he would have to go around him.

If it were Drake Dragon in the past, he would have turned around and left, but today Drake Dragon looked at Tom Li, shook his head, sighed and said:

"People say a good dog stays out of the way, but it seems you are not a good dog."

"Drake Dragon, it seems that you were not taught enough last time. Do you want to be beaten to death again and thrown off the ring?"Tom Li expression changed first, and then he mocked.

"So you are just a dog, and you are worthy of eating shit next to Ethan Zhou."Drake Dragon shook his head. For such a person, he didn't want to waste time. If he needed to do business, he had to walk past him.

"Drake Dragon, you are looking for death"

Tom Li couldn't help but look furious. He didn't expect that Drake Dragon, who had always been cowardly, could be so tough. He didn't take him seriously at all and stretched out his hand to stop Drake Dragon.

Drake Dragon frowned slightly and was about to speak when suddenly a figure came over and cursed at Li Hao: "Tom Li, you are just looking for death. Who do you think you are? You dare to threaten my brother?"

The person who came was a very tall man, who looked to be eighteen or nineteen years old, but he was nine feet tall, more than a head taller than both of them, and his aura was very scary.

"Stone Peak, you have nothing to do here, you'd better not meddle in other people's business."

When Tom Li saw Stone Peak, he couldn't help but roared with anger. Stone Peak was also a prince, with a similar status to him, but Stone Peak was a strong man in the eighth level of Qi gathering, while he was only in the third level of Qi gathering.

In addition, Stone Peak is born with divine power. Generally, few people at the same level are his opponents. He does not yet have the guts to challenge Stone Peak.

"Brother Drake Dragon, I heard that you were beaten by that bastard Ethan Zhou. Brother, let me vent your anger."Stone Peak looked at Drake Dragon and said angrily.

Drake Dragon looked at the big man in front of him and felt a sense of warmth in his heart. Stone Peak was the only person in the entire imperial capital who treated him like a brother.

"It's okay, I will avenge myself, don't worry."Drake Dragon smiled slightly and patted Stone Peak's shoulder.

Seeing what Drake Dragon said, Stone Peak felt that Drake Dragon might be a little embarrassed, so he stopped mentioning this issue.

"Let's go for a walk with me,"Drake Dragon said with a smile, and then he was about to take Stone Peak away.

When Tom Li saw the two of them, he actually thought he was nothing. He couldn't help but became furious and cursed: "Drake Dragon, you bastard, if you have the guts, challenge me to a challenge."

Drake Dragon had just taken a few steps, when his face suddenly darkened, murderous intent surged up in his eyes, and he slowly turned his head.

"You want to challenge me?"Drake Dragon's voice was cold, like ice, chilling people's bones.

Tom Li couldn't help but provoke Lingling to shiver. He felt that Drake Dragon was a little weird today, but the big talk had already been released. If he was timid at this time, he would become the laughing stock of the entire imperial capital.

What's more, he usually bullied Drake Dragon a lot, and acted completely based on experience, without paying any attention to the fear rising in his heart.

"Yes, do you dare to accept the challenge?" Li Hao said loudly.

"No problem, but I want to raise the stakes."Drake Dragon thought for a moment and said.

"More bets? Haha, your Long family is almost out of trouble. What are you betting on me? Use your family's house, or become my slave if you lose?"Tom Li sneered.

But he didn't notice that a cold smile appeared on the corner of Drake Dragon mouth. That smile was a little sinister.

"Brother Shi, how about you lend me your sword?"Drake Dragon said.

"Take it"

Although Stone Peak was a little reluctant, he still handed over the long knife.

Drake Dragon nodded, secretly keeping this feeling in his heart, and said to Li Hao: "Although this sword is not top-grade, it is still worth eight thousand gold coins. Now I will treat it as worth five thousand gold coins. You win If you lose, you can take the sword away. If you lose, give me five thousand gold coins, how about it?"

Tom Li's heart moved. The knife in Stone Peak hand was made of fine steel. It was made by a famous master. It was worth eight thousand gold coins. It was absolutely worth it.

Now that Drake Dragon, a fool, dared to use this thing to block it, he was already happy.

But he said mockingly: "I wonder if someone will turn their backs and refuse to admit it after you lose?"

"Don't worry, I, Stone Peak, always say one is one,"Stone Peak sneered.

"Okay, then go to the ring and sign the contract. If I don't beat you to the ground today, I won't call you Tom Li."Tom Li couldn't help but be overjoyed and said with high spirits.

Drake Dragon face was calm, but there was a gloomy look in his eyes. Tom Li was just a dog beside Ethan Zhou Yaoyang, and was not taken seriously by Drake Dragon. But what conspiracy did they have against him?

But no matter what the conspiracy was, one day the truth would come to light. Drake Dragon and his group headed straight for a ring outside the imperial capital.
