Chapter 582: Chapter 581: Dragon Transformation Pool!

"Brother Chu, you’re too kind."

The "two people" were naturally Ao Kui and Wu Tan. Ao Kui smiled and curiously asked, "To be honest, Brother Chu, I’ve already obtained what I wanted. I wonder if you’ve had any gains?"

Gu Yuan hesitated slightly, then immediately smiled and said, "Naturally, the esteemed Five Spirits was quite generous. Perhaps seeing that I have some slight enlightenment, after a simple test, he passed on a copy of the ’Five Elements Celestial Book Supplement’ to me."

"Oh? The ’Five Elements Celestial Book Supplement’?"

Ao Kui’s eyes flashed with a sharp light, and he immediately smiled, "That’s truly something worth celebrating! Congratulations, Brother Chu."

"Oh, not at all..."

Gu Yuan modestly replied, waving his hand repeatedly.

Seeing this, Ao Kui seemed to misunderstand some of Gu Yuan’s thoughts and comforted, "Brother Chu, don’t worry. Although the ’Five Elements Celestial Book Supplement’ is merely a supplement, as far as I know, compared to the real ’Five Elements Celestial Scripture,’ it’s not too far off. It’s still one of the most top-notch and exquisite Daoist Scriptures under the heavens."

"The esteemed Five Spirits likely holds you in considerable regard. If you can fully comprehend this ’Five Elements Celestial Book Supplement,’ you might still have a chance to obtain the real ’Five Elements Celestial Scripture’ in the future."

Gu Yuan froze for a moment, then smiled and said, "Then I must thank Brother Ao for the kind words."

But he was inwardly puzzled. As far as he was concerned, their deal was concluded, not only did he obtain the Black Gold Dragon Bone Pill, but he also acquired the ’Five Elements Celestial Book Supplement.’ The opposite party has also gotten what they wanted.

So, what exactly is Ao Kui waiting here for?

Gu Yuan couldn’t believe that the other party would comfort him out of sheer goodwill.

"By the way, Brother Ao, what are you waiting here for..."

Gu Yuan blinked, straightforwardly laying the matter bare.

Ao Kui smiled, took out a black jade seal, and put it in his hand for Gu Yuan to see.

Gu Yuan examined it carefully and found that this black jade seal was carved from some sort of top-grade black jade and meticulously tempered.

Below it was a large square seal, while on top it was sculpted with a majestic and mysterious, sacred, and domineering black dragon!

Every scale, every claw, every whisker of this black dragon was clearly visible, meticulously detailed, vividly alive, as if a real black dragon was sealed on it.

Gu Yuan, astute as he was, could even see that this was an upper-grade magical treasure, close to a top-grade magical treasure at that. Its power was naturally immense and contained a pure True Dragon aura, very likely a supreme treasure refined by the True Dragon Race.

No wonder Ao Kui had been scheming for it for so long, even inviting Gu Yuan to help open Five Spirits’ Cave Mansion.

However...

Gu Yuan instinctively felt that this Black Dragon Seal might not be so simple, possibly containing some unknown aspects.

Of course, what the Black Dragon Seal truly was or what its function might be actually wasn’t Gu Yuan’s concern, nor was he interested.

He was merely curious about why Ao Kui was waiting for him here, what it meant.

Ao Kui seemed to grasp Gu Yuan’s thoughts and said, "Actually, Brother Chu, there’s something you don’t know. This Black Dragon Seal in my hand was refined by an expert from our East Sea Dragon Palace. Its power isn’t too strong, but it has a special function."

"Because during its refinement, it was infused with a special innate dragon aura nurtured by a dragon vein. Thus, this jade seal can harness the True Dragon aura to temper the physique and even elevate the bloodline, making it quite significant for our True Dragon Race."

Gu Yuan showed surprise and said, "Could this object offer the opportunity for a Flood Dragon to transform into a True Dragon? Even let a carp leap the Dragon Gate?"

"Indeed."

Ao Kui did not deny this, adding, "However, this item needs to be used in conjunction with our Dragon Race’s Dragon Transformation Pool to achieve the best effect."

Gu Yuan nodded.

He had heard of the Dragon Transformation Pool Ao Kui mentioned.

This object is a treasure of the East Sea Dragon Palace. Its function rivals that of a Spirit Treasure, and for the Dragon Race, its value exceeds a real Spirit Treasure by several degrees!

The Dragon Transformation Pool, as the name implies, is a special pool with transformation spiritual liquid that can cleanse the roots, muscles, bloodlines, and even the Divine Soul. It can enhance the physique strength of ordinary Flood Dragons and offer the chance to mutate bloodlines into True Dragon Bloodlines.

It is well known that True Dragons are Divine Beasts with extremely powerful bloodlines and innate Great Divine Techniques.

As for Flood Dragons, although they share the word "dragon," they are truly a different species compared to True Dragons, with a vast difference as distinct as heaven and earth.

No matter how fierce and formidable a Flood Dragon may be, it must bow in submission when meeting a True Dragon. This is the natural gap in life essence and hierarchy.

As for more ordinary creatures like pythons, snakes, loaches, eels, and earthworms, while they carry a trace of True Dragon Bloodline and a slim chance to transform into a True Dragon, the gap remains significant even compared to a Flood Dragon!

Moreover, those carps that leap the Dragon Gate, though called carps, are not regular carps but Dragon Carps, a type of Flood Dragon.

Returning to the point, the Dragon Transformation Pool is of paramount significance to the Dragon Race.

A snake or python entering it and enduring for a period might transform into a Flood Dragon, while a Flood Dragon enduring within could transform into a True Dragon, albeit not without difficulty and some cost.

Yet, even so, such a privilege is immensely precious. Ordinary Flood Dragons seldom receive such an opportunity.

Even True Dragons entering it can temper their physique, gaining numerous benefits.

Given Ao Kui’s assertion of the Black Dragon Seal’s importance and connection to the Dragon Transformation Pool, it proves this item is indeed crucial and valuable.

"So, Brother Ao, what do you mean?"

Gu Yuan asked curiously.

"Actually, Brother Chu, there’s something else you might not know. Our East Sea Dragon Palace’s Dragon Transformation Pool is not only useful to our True Dragon Race and those seeking to transform into a Flood Dragon, but it’s also beneficial to other races, capable of tempering the physique and Divine Soul, making the physique exceptionally robust and allowing the Divine Soul to undergo transformation."

Saying this, Ao Kui looked at Gu Yuan and said, "Take you, Brother Chu, for example. If you could spend some time in the Dragon Transformation Pool, it would undoubtedly allow your Divine Soul to undergo transformation, enabling you to reach the Yin Spirit Realm soon. Even if not effortless, it would come naturally, enhancing your physical body to rival that of a Body Cultivator of the same level."

"Brother Chu, you should well know how crucial the strength of the Divine Soul is for advancing to the Yin Spirit and Yang Spirit realms."
