Chapter 369: Chapter 213 The Seductress Must Be Wicked (Two-in-One)

Watching as the long knife in Jiang Shouzhong’s hand sometimes disappeared and sometimes appeared, magically like a magic trick, Leng Jing’s eyes widened. "Jiang Mo, how did you do that? It’s amazing."

Jiang Shouzhong pointed to the leaves in the crystal box. "Try picking it up."

Although magical treasures were tempting, it was ultimately the effort of a young girl, and even with thick-skinned Jiang Shouzhong, he felt it was inappropriate to monopolize everything.

Leng Jing carefully pinched the leaf.

However, strangely, the leaf had no reaction to her.

Jiang Shouzhong looked puzzled and asked the girl, "Do you feel a breath merging into your acupuncture points?"

"Acupuncture points?"

Leng Jing was taken aback and shook her head. "No."

The green leaf in her hand remained lush and crystal clear.

This was strange... Could it be that the treasure had no effect on this girl?

Seeing the other’s expression, Leng Jing knew there was a misunderstanding and explained, "I mean I don’t have acupuncture points... uh, to be precise, all of my acupuncture points are sealed."

All sealed... Jiang Shouzhong’s eyes looked strange. "Then how do you cultivate?"

"By this."

Leng Jing proudly shook the cactus in her hand.

Weirdo.

Jiang Shouzhong could only marvel at how vast the world was, filled with all sorts of wonders, realizing that it was still possible to cultivate even with sealed acupuncture points.

Slap!

The girl slapped the leaf onto the man’s body, her brow arched with a smile. "Here, I give it to you since I have no use for it."

The leaf touched Jiang Shouzhong’s body and once again transformed into twinkling particles.

At the same time, another acupuncture space appeared.

Jiang Shouzhong felt mixed emotions.

He had initially been somewhat repelled by the girl following him, but now it seemed... it was truly delightful.

It was only unfortunate that the acupuncture space could only contain one item, not even an extra strand of hair. This meant he could currently only store two items inside his body.

After confirming that there were no other magical treasures around, Jiang Shouzhong began to scrutinize the underground palace.

The construction of this underground palace was very similar to the previous ones he had seen, very spacious, with only one door carved out of heavy stonework.

Jiang Shouzhong tried to open this door.

However, no matter how much force he exerted, the stone door remained as immovable as a rock, as if it was fastened tightly by a thousand-pound lock.

Jiang Shouzhong turned to Leng Jing. "It’s up to you now."

Leng Jing carefully observed the surroundings and each detail on the stone door, her delicate eyebrows deeply furrowed.

After a while, she spoke softly, "This is the only exit; it should be the Mo Family’s Five Elements Lock. From what it looks, it cannot be opened now. Only around the hour of Chen tomorrow will it be possible to open."

Hour of Chen?

Jiang Shouzhong remembered what Yeying and Ran Qingchen had mentioned about the time to enter the underground palace. He muttered, "No wonder everyone is waiting until tomorrow to fight for the demon dragon, they all calculated the time."

"Does this mean we just have to wait here?"

Jiang Shouzhong asked.

Leng Jing shook her head, her cute face sporting a smug smile, and said, "If it were others, they’d just have to wait, but we don’t need to, I have a way to open it."

Leng Jing said, "The hour of Chen is when the Dragon Lifts its Head, and the Yang energy ascends. The stone door belongs to Earth; Earth generates Metal, and Metal generates Water. Water nourishes everything. The timing to open coincides with the circulation of the Five Elements between heaven and earth, so it will naturally open..."

She picked up the cactus and handed it to Jiang Shouzhong, "Put your hand on top, don’t jab it directly."

Jiang Shouzhong raised his hand and placed it above the cactus.

As the girl silently recited the incantation, wisps of Yang energy slowly drew out from Jiang Shouzhong’s body, as if pulled by invisible threads, converging into a gentle stream that flowed into the cactus in front of him.

Immediately after, the cactus swayed and refracted a beam of light, shining it onto the upper part of the stone door.

Boom—

The stone door began to tremble, shaking off dust.

"Push!"

The girl urgently said.

Jiang Shouzhong snapped to his senses and pushed forward with force.

This time, the stone door finally moved, slowly cracking open a narrow slit just wide enough for one person to pass through.

Leng Jing stepped into the narrow opening and turned to Jiang Shouzhong, urgently saying, "Quick, come in, the door-opening technique powered by the Five Elements is very fleeting, it will expire soon."

Jiang Shouzhong felt the stone door beginning to close and quickly streaked through.

Bang!

The stone door closed behind them with a thud.

Jiang Shouzhong exhaled, about to say something to Leng Jing, but was dumbstruck by the scene before him.

Before him was an ancient and mysterious altar.

Chains crisscrossed around it.

At the heart of the altar, a tremendously large dragon egg was suspended quietly, surrounded by a gentle and mysterious azure glow.

"Is this the dragon egg?"

Jiang Shouzhong’s gaze shimmered, his heartbeat quickening.

He had only intended to find an entrance but had inadvertently stumbled upon the dragon egg itself.

The dragon egg was here, but what about the dragon mother?

But then again, how could he subdue the Azure Dragon?

Directly use the Dragon Slaying Sword to break the shell?

Yeying had originally implied that they should find a way to subdue the Azure Dragon after it hatched.

But now the dragon demon was still inside the egg, not yet hatched successfully, and he wasn’t sure whether the Dragon Slaying Sword could kill it. He remembered that many demon species had extremely sturdy eggshells that could be used as shields.

According to Jiang Shouzhong’s original plan, he did not intend to directly participate in the dragon slaying mission, but rather wait for others to kill the dragon and stealthily use the Zodiac Dharma Seal to absorb the dragon spirit, acting covertly for once.

After all, the dragon was also a zodiac.

But now that he had arrived first, if the Dragon Slaying Sword was ineffective, he lacked the capability to confront a dragon himself.

"Jiang Mo, how can there be such a huge egg?"

Leng Jing was dumbfounded.

"This is a dragon egg," Jiang Shouzhong said. "Inside is an Azure Dragon. Do you have any way to subdue it?"

"Dragon?" Leng Jing opened her cherry lips, looked at the man as if he were an idiot. "Do you think I’m an Immortal? I even struggle with ordinary demons, let alone a dragon demon."
