Rise to God with Life Skill Professions-Chapter 381 - 370:

The sound of a dragon’s roar?

When this sound arose, Liu Yi felt her whole body break out in goosebumps as if she had fallen into an ice cellar, and her body temperature dropped instantly.

Seeing this, Green Lora patted Liu Yi’s shoulder lightly, channeling True Essence throughout her entire body.

Only then did Liu Yi react, the warm sensation reviving her rather stiffened thoughts.

"A dragon? A true dragon?" Liu Yi couldn’t conceal her astonishment.

Xunyang Prefecture didn’t have dragons, Liu Yi and the other Mountain Patrol Silver Generals were more aware of this than anyone else.

But what she had just heard was indeed the roar of a dragon, entirely different from those flood dragons.

Precisely because of this, Liu Yi felt extremely bewildered, unsure of why her mentor brought her here.

"This is the only true dragon in Xunyang Prefecture," Green Lora nodded and said, "It was gravely injured by a betrayal long ago, fled here, and now lies dormant in the ruins of the Ancient Battlefield, quietly waiting for the opportune moment."

"What does this have to do with Qin An?" Liu Yi furrowed her brows.

Her mentor had just said that this matter was related to Qin An, but Liu Yi couldn’t comprehend why Qin An would be connected to a true dragon.

Green Lora did not pause her steps, "It’s a long story, let’s talk as we walk."

Liu Yi thought for a moment, agreed, and followed Green Lora towards the towering mountains ahead.

Along the way, only Green Lora spoke.

It wasn’t until the relationship between the true dragon and Qin An was explained that Liu Yi understood.

Liu Yi sighed longingly, "Even a true dragon can’t escape its fate... But for Qin An to form a bond with a true dragon is truly unexpected. The method to ascend to the Unity Realm that the mentor mentioned, could it be derived from this dragon?"

Leading the way ahead, Green Lora replied without looking back, "That’s right, this dragon was once the foremost in Xunyang Prefecture, and if anyone can help you quickly ascend to the Unity Realm, it would be him."

"Does he have dealings with the Evil Extermination Bureau?" Liu Yi probed.

Green Lora glanced back at Liu Yi and shook her head, "Don’t ask what shouldn’t be asked, knowing too much won’t be good for you."

Liu Yi shivered slightly, suddenly feeling there might be other secrets within all this.

True dragons, Pseudo-Gods, Divine Soul Refining Body Skill—it seems these points are connected by an invisible thread.

But Liu Yi had no more clues, and with Green Lora unwilling to say more, even if she racked her brains, she couldn’t deduce the specific connection.

They exchanged no more words as they ventured further in, the Evil Qi in this deep mountain grew more intense.

After passing through the dense forest ahead, the sound of rushing water suddenly arose.

Not far off lay an enormous lake, so vast that its end could not be seen at a glance.

The lake’s surface was as calm as a mirror, with occasional splashes of water being the only sound here.

Green Lora stopped by the shore and shouted, "Since you’ve arrived, why hide and skulk around?"

As Green Lora’s words fell, the previously calm lake surface shook violently, as if someone had tossed a pile of wood into the bottom and cooked the entire lake.

As the lake trembled, a massive dragon head occupying most of the lake slowly rose from the depths.

The dragon’s head was terrifyingly fierce, with Evil Qi swirling upon it, looking extremely daunting.

Yet when this dragon’s head gazed upon Green Lora, its eyes were extraordinarily calm.

Liu Yi was momentarily captivated by this gaze, feeling a sense of being thoroughly seen through.

Green Lora’s voice was icy, "She’s just a minor figure, there’s no need to wield your Dragon Race’s might. Quickly transform into human form and get the matter done sooner."

The massive dragon head submerged upon hearing this.

Soon after, a beam of light shot into the sky, and a large whirlpool appeared on the water’s surface.

At the whirlpool’s center, a young man in white garb slowly emerged, stepping on the water.

In just the breath of a moment, he landed not far in front of Green Lora and Liu Yi.

"Is she the one you said is to break through the Unity Realm?" Long Tianxing’s tone was calm, as if recounting an insignificant matter.

Green Lora nodded and said directly, "Indeed, it’s her. She has now gathered the Three True Intentions of Heaven, Earth, and Man, forging a supreme foundation, yet remains just shy of the Unity Realm. The Dragon Race’s Essentia Blood Cleansing can precisely aid her breakthrough."

Long Tianxing shook his head, "Essentia Blood Cleansing is precious beyond measure, condensing one drop every ten years. Have you accomplished the task you promised?"

Green Lora nodded, her gaze sharp and penetrating, "You’ve sought the Pseudo-God who framed you, and now we have news. This Pseudo-God is not only associated with a Mountain Patrol Golden General of the Evil Extermination Bureau but also connected to the top-tier power in the monstrous forces, the Sky Demon Cavern. Therefore, vengeance is exceedingly difficult for you, unless you cooperate with the Evil Extermination Bureau, and this is the first step of cooperation."

Long Tianxing furrowed his brows, "What are the odds of success this time?"

Green Lora sneered, "You wish to know the odds, as do I, but such matters can’t be guaranteed by merely my words."

"After all, in such a situation, a mere gust of wind could lead to different outcomes."

"You understand this situation better than anyone, yet why waste words here? To act or not resides within your own decision."

Long Tianxing fell silent, his eyes suddenly cold, "You dare speak to me like this, aren’t you afraid I’ll take your head in a fit of rage? After all, I was once Xunyang Prefecture’s number one."

Green Lora remained silent.

Liu Yi felt a heaviness in the air, this true dragon does not seem as obedient to Green Lora as she imagined.

Long Tianxing raised an eyebrow, "Why aren’t you speaking? Are you perhaps afraid?"

Green Lora slightly lifted her gaze, her eyes filled with intensifying visible killing intent, her entire True Essence stirring as her aura reached its peak.

"In cooperation, you become a friend of the Evil Extermination Bureau, which can exert every effort to avenge you and stabilize Xunyang Prefecture’s situation."

"If you choose not to cooperate, such a formidable monster lingering in the ruins of the Ancient Battlefield would be a liability for the Evil Extermination Bureau, who could ensure that you won’t turn against them and join the Sky Demon Cavern?"

Long Tianxing frowned, "What do you mean by this?"

"No particular meaning," Green Lora stepped forward, her voice tranquil as water, yet embedded with an overwhelming killing aura, "The situation is complex and volatile now, and we can’t let another unstable entity remain here."

"You were once Xunyang Prefecture’s foremost, but that was merely in the past."

"Though I have only reached Unity Realm Perfection, if I were to exert all my might in Secret Technique, concentrating my killing aura, we’d both likely end up in the Yellow Springs."

Upon saying this, the killing aura around Green Lora visibly condensed at high speed.

This is the highest Secret Technique of her sect, where each kill of a monstrous Pseudo-God condenses a strand of killing intent within her.

From the time Green Lora joined the Evil Extermination Bureau to now, she has condensed innumerable killing intents.

If an explosion were to occur at this moment, it would lead to mutual destruction.

Even if Qin An had once been the first person of Xunyang Prefecture, he wouldn’t withstand it.

Qin An was slightly taken aback, took two steps back, and raised his hand to stop, saying, "Hold on, it hasn’t come to that, nor did I say I wouldn’t help."

He could sense that this seemingly fragile woman in front of him contained an overwhelming killing intent.

What the woman just said didn’t seem like a lie; she could really perish together with him at any moment.

To cultivate to this level, everyone cherishes their lives. There’s no need to risk one’s life over an ordinary conflict.

Luoluo said coldly, "Join us, or die."

"You!" Qin An’s eyes widened in anger, "I am a noble true dragon, to pressure me like this, you really leave me no face!"

Luoluo said again, "Join us, or die. I won’t say it a third time."

Qin An could feel that the killing intent on Luoluo had reached its peak, ready to erupt in an instant.

Thinking of this, a hint of helplessness flashed in Qin An’s eyes.

"Fine, I will help her advance to the Unity Realm, will that suffice?"

After speaking, Qin An raised his right hand, and a bright red blood bead floated in his palm.

"This is the Dragon Race’s essence blood, it takes ten years to condense just one. Use it to cleanse her of impurities and help her transform into the Unity Realm."

The blood bead in the palm flew towards Liu Yi and finally hovered in front of her.

Luoluo turned her head and said, "Take it."

Liu Yi came to her senses and then carefully took the essence blood. A hint of helplessness appeared in her eyes as she looked at Luoluo.

She really hadn’t expected that the final result would be Luoluo using force as a threat.

But this is fine, regardless of the process, at least everyone is satisfied with the result.

Luoluo put away her killing intent and turned to leave.

She was a person who acted decisively, and since her purpose for the day was achieved, she didn’t plan to stay longer.

As for the cooperation with Qin An, someone would naturally inform him later.

Seeing Luoluo already turning away, Qin An quickly asked, "Wait a moment, I have some questions to ask."

Luoluo stopped in her tracks, turned back, and said, "Speak quickly, my time is limited."

Qin An’s lips twitched slightly.

He was once the first person of Xunyang Prefecture, and yet after such a short rest, so many experts who could rival him suddenly appeared, it was simply unimaginable.

However, he also knew that those who could become Mountain Patrol Golden Generals had some peculiarities about them.

Luoluo’s aloofness, her chilling force, and her occasional mockery of the world seemed extremely normal to Qin An.

Qin An didn’t continue with trivialities and directly asked, "How is Qin An’s situation over there?"

Qin An?

Liu Yi, still immersed in the joy of acquiring the essence blood, showed a hint of surprise upon hearing Qin An’s name.

She knew that this true dragon was connected to Qin An, and it was due to Qin An that the true dragon was able to remain alive.

But she hadn’t expected the true dragon to be so concerned about Qin An.

Even at this moment, it was still inquiring about Qin An’s news.

Luoluo pondered for a moment and said, "He has offended many pseudo-gods among the demons, so many that he can hardly cope. Yet, being the once-in-a-thousand-year genius of Xunyang Prefecture, he has safely navigated through all crises."

"He has now reached the Great Success of Inner God Realm and has collected the Heaven Extreme True Intent and Human Extreme True Intent."

"I estimate that once he attains the Earth Extreme True Intent, he might be able to break through to the Unity Realm."

"So quick? As expected of him!"

Qin An sighed deeply, "From the moment I first saw him, I knew he was no ordinary individual, but I didn’t expect he would reach the Great Success of Inner God Realm in such a short time."

Listening to Qin An’s praise, Liu Yi’s eyes slightly moved.

To receive praise from a true dragon, who was once the first person of Xunyang Prefecture.

If this news spread, I’m afraid those who heard it would favor Qin An, even at all costs, to get close to him, showing all their skills to win his favor.

Luoluo frowned and said, "You haven’t finished speaking."

If it was just to inquire about Qin An’s situation, Qin An wouldn’t be like this.

Luoluo felt that Qin An had more to say.

Qin An slowly said, "Give this item to him; he is proficient in forging. If he incorporates it into his weapon, it will be of great help to him."

After his words, Qin An waved his hand.

Immediately, a beam of light shot towards Luoluo.

Luoluo raised her hand to catch it, her eyes narrowed at the gleaming scale in her palm.

"True Dragon Reverse Scale!"

"To even be willing to give this, what are you planning?"

The so-called True Dragon Reverse Scale is the hardest scale on a true dragon.

But because of its reverse growth, it is instead the most vulnerable part.

This item is extremely important to any true dragon.

Qin An smiled faintly, "After this matter is resolved, I will leave Xunyang Prefecture. With my understanding of Qin An, Xunyang Prefecture cannot contain him. If I have the chance in the future to see him leave Xunyang Prefecture, it might form a good relationship and be of great benefit later."

"You think so highly of him?" Luoluo raised an eyebrow and put away the reverse scale.

Qin An stood with his hands behind his back and suddenly said, "I have never misjudged a person in my life, and I trust my instincts."

"You know the situation outside Xunyang Prefecture; it’s extremely chaotic, so I need a reliable ally."
