Chapter 195: Chapter 107 Copper Sword Slaying the Demon Dragon_3

Chen Shi sighed, "Cultivation seems to be a fair matter, yet it turns out to be unfair."

Fu Leisheng empathized and nodded, saying, "The people of Qianyang Mountain used the Heavenly Heart Righteous Qi Technique to lower the threshold of cultivation from the privileged to the point where even sons of humble families could practice. But the Heavenly Heart Righteous Qi Technique can only hold up to the Golden Core Realm. For those sons of humble families to advance further, it’s as difficult as ascending to the heavens. Alas, there has only been one person from Qianyang Mountain in this world."

His expression became gloomy.

For all the sons of humble families, the person from Qianyang Mountain was an eternal monument.

Unfortunately, no one knew his real name or what he looked like, otherwise his offerings would have been incredibly abundant!

Chen Shi’s heart stirred; he felt that maybe he could fill in the missing parts of the Heavenly Heart Righteous Qi Technique and bring the Cultivation Technique to the Nascent Soul level.

"With the inclusion of the stages of ’Seven Returns, Eight Transformations, and Nine Revivals’, it can be elevated to the Nascent Soul Realm! How to add them safely for cultivation is a difficult problem..."

As he was contemplating how to complement the Heavenly Heart Righteous Qi Technique, suddenly the roaring sound of the river came over. Bells rang out urgently from Bridge Bay Town, signaling "Dangdang," and someone shouted loudly, "Quick, burn incense, quick, burn incense! Worship the dry mother!"

Chen Shi was surprised and saw many townspeople rushing out, heading straight for the center of Bridge Bay Town, each holding incense and paying their respects to the town’s dry mother.

This dry mother of the town was a stone statue, with a dragon head and a human body, with only half of its torso remaining. It seemed like the Dragon King from some ancient temple. Although only half of it was left, it still stood as tall as three to five people, radiating incredibly strong Spiritual Power.

Because the town tended to flood during rainy seasons, the Dragon King stone statue had very fervent worshippers, and many people came to offer incense.

The sound of the waves grew more urgent. Chen Shi looked towards the De River, only to see the floodwaters a yard or two above the riverbank, held back by an invisible wall, preventing Bridge Bay Town from being submerged.

However, many people were swept away by the floodwaters, tumbling over and over, as well as houses and trees being carried by the waves downstream.

It looked like a village upstream had been flooded, sweeping away one or two hundred people.

These people had already drowned, some hitting the invisible wall laid down by the dry mother of Bridge Bay Town, sticking to the wall as if they were still alive, eyes wide open staring at the townspeople, then carried away by the floodwaters again.

In the vague distance, Chen Shi saw a huge creature moving in the river, passing under the arch bridge, indiscernible, causing the bridge to shake a few times.

"What is in the De River!"

He had just thought this when Fu Leisheng said, "There is a Crossing River Dragon causing trouble in the De River. In these days with abundant rain, it has already resulted in a big flood that killed people, collapsing six or seven villages on both banks."

"A Crossing River Dragon?"

Chen Shi was puzzled and asked, "Is there a dragon nearby?"

"It should be a Jiao Long, on the eve of its transformation, needing to cultivate with human souls to strengthen its Demon Core, turning into an Evil Spirit."

Fu Leisheng wasn’t sure either and said, "Every day at noon, it passes by the riverbank. This time, it has collapsed the upstream village, probably growing stronger again."

Chen Shi surveyed the floodwaters and saw that they rose quickly and receded just as fast. Soon the waters subsided, and the riverbed became clear again. ƒreeωebnovel.ƈom

Chen Shi came to the stone arch bridge of Bridge Bay Town, gave it a thorough look, took out a couple of Silver, and said, "Please go to the shop in town and help me exchange this into copper coins."

Fu Leisheng was puzzled but still took the Silver. He quickly returned with copper coins.

Chen Shi took the copper coins to the blacksmith shop and with a ding and a dang, forged the many copper coins into a bronze sword, glinting golden yellow.

He called over Black Pot, mixed Black Dog Blood with cinnabar, and engraved various talisman patterns on the bronze sword. After cinnabar embellishments, he fired it in the flames, hammered it again and repeated the process several times until the sword no longer bore its original appearance.

Chen Shi took a boat under the bridge, hung the bronze sword on the bridge arch, and said to Fu Leisheng, "My grandfather passed on to me the Dragon Slaying Skill, though I don’t know if it will work. If it does, you owe me ten Silvers from Bridge Bay Town."

Upon hearing this, Fu Leisheng consulted with the town’s elders.

The elder said, "If it truly works, then ten Silvers it is!"

The next day at noon, the floodwaters rose again, spilling over the embankments and growing higher.

Suddenly, a flash of yellow light at the bridgehead was followed by a Dragon Roar, and the river water instantly turned blood red. Spectators saw a giant creature, like a dragon, decapitated and drifting downstream with the current.

And with that, the floodwaters receded.

A day later, at noon, no more floods occurred. Chen Shi came to collect the money, and Fu Leisheng was absolutely astounded and asked, "Chen Shi, who exactly was your grandfather? How did he come to possess the Dragon Slaying Skill?"

"Just a common old man from the countryside,"

Chen Shi replied, "What kind of background could he have?"

The downstream dragon carcass washed ashore, attracting many onlookers. Chen Shi and Fu Leisheng hurried over and saw many talismans etched on the horn of the dragon’s head, which made Chen Shi frown.

"This is a nurtured Jiao Long, not a wild one!"

Fu Leisheng whispered, "This must have come from some influential person’s home, we might be in trouble!"

Chen Shi responded, puzzled, "Releasing a Jiao Long to wreak havoc, killing so many villagers, the troublemaker should be the other party, right?"

Fu Leisheng shook his head, pulled him away, and said, "Anyone who can nurture a Jiao Long is definitely not a nobody! Is it right or wrong, can we, the commoners, decide? Isn’t it still what the other party says that counts? Let’s go quickly!"

— End of a major Chapter nearly five thousand words long, pleads for monthly tickets at the end of the month!
