Starting My Cultivation With Time Management-Chapter 881 - 21 Fragmented -

“What could I possibly want you to do?” The Jiaolong disdainfully said, “Aside from helping me escape this trap, there’s nothing else for you to do.”

Shi Liuli looked helplessly at Luo Yan, signaling “what should we do?”

Luo Yan thought that this ancient dragon seemed somewhat haughty. Since you’re willing to interact with us, you must have requests from us, why not just state your demands?

“Are you voluntarily trapped here to prevent the Earth Vein from leaking and harming the Mortal World?” he then pretended to be admiring as he said, “Such noble integrity, I admire you.”

Having said that, it really provoked the ancient dragon. It opened its lantern-sized, amber-yellow eyes, glaring at Luo Yan, and angrily said through gritted teeth:

“Who told you I was voluntarily trapped here?”

“If not so, with predecessor’s majestic power, how could anyone trap you here?” Luo Yan said, complimenting with a smile.

“You don’t understand, of course it’s…” The Jiaolong subconsciously started to say, then suddenly paused for a moment, sneering, “Trying to trick me into revealing information, huh?”

“Predecessor’s grudges with others, us juniors are powerless to intervene,” Luo Yan finally answered, “But if it’s about passing a message or updating you about the outside world, that’s no problem.”

By now, he had thought it through clearly: this Jiaolong had been trapped here for perhaps hundreds of thousands of years, and what it must want most is information about the outside world—just like Beiming Fanyang, on one hand desiring to know more, on the other fearing deceit, aren’t all Jiaolong alike in this respect?

As for rescuing it from the trap… even if we have the capability, we definitely wouldn’t save it, this ancient dragon should understand that.

As expected, upon hearing this, the Jiaolong’s expression changed several times, then suddenly as if it lost all its strength, it slowly said:

“The information I want to know, you really aren’t capable of providing.”

“Predecessor hasn’t asked yet, how do you know we can’t provide it?” Luo Yan said with a smile.

“Don’t think that I am unaware,” Jiaolong sneered again, “The outside world now is dominated by the Human Race, and the rest of the Demon Race have retreated to the Eastern Emperor Realm, right?”

“What I want to know is merely about the Jiaolong Clan’s situation. With you and the Eastern Emperor Realm forever separated by a vast chasm, and you not being part of the Demon Race, how could you possibly have the information I want?”

Luo Yan remained silent for a moment, thinking that if it were anyone else, they probably would know nothing, but finding him was hitting the mark.

In this Cultivation Realm, is there anyone who understands the Jiaolong Clan better than I do?

However, since Shi Liuli was nearby, Luo Yan didn’t speak openly but instead used Secretive Voice Transmission:

“May I ask how long the senior has stayed here? How much do you know about the Jiaolong Clan? Otherwise, I really wouldn’t know where to start.”

“Allying with Xuan Gui to become the Xuanwu Clan, dominating Central State, are you aware of this, senior? Unifying the Eastern Emperor Realm and establishing the Jiaolong Dynasty, are you aware of this, senior? The defeat of Emperor Ying Long’s campaign and the collapse of the imperial clan, are you aware of this, senior? The isolated city in Beiming Fanyang and the swan song of the Jiaolong survivors, are you aware of this, senior?”

As Luo Yan continued along the timeline, the expression on Jiaolong’s face turned extremely vivid, as if he was hearing about the rise and fall of Rome for the first time—initially excited, then overjoyed, followed by anger, and finally a deep, indescribable grief.

“You…” Jiaolong began, but noticing that the other party used Secretive Voice Transmission, clearly not wanting the female companion to hear, he disdainfully said, “Forget it, seeing that you are of the Human Race, it’s unlikely you’d understand the secrets of our Jiaolong Clan. Let’s talk about the changes in the situation of the Cultivation Realm instead.”

Shi Liuli was already somewhat suspicious seeing its rapidly changing expressions, but noticing the old dragon’s interest in hearing about the worldly affairs, she temporarily set aside her doubts and began explaining in detail.

Jiaolong was just nodding, indicating he was listening, but in reality, he didn’t care about Kunlun, Shushan, or Penglai, instead he urged Luo Yan through Secretive Voice Transmission:

“What you know, tell it in detail.”

“This information cannot be given for free,” Luo Yan said with a smile, “After I’ve explained a quarter, senior must bestow a Dragon Blood Pill;”

“After half, you must pass on the Refining Method. After three-quarters, you must clarify the risks and critical points in the refining process.”

“Only after my wife has taken the medicine on-the-spot and fully refined its power, will I tell the senior the last quarter.”

“You!” Jiaolong was so angry it almost spat blood.

Not to mention other aspects, just the fact that the other party put the decline of the Jiaolong Clan at the end and specifically mentioned waiting until Shi Liuli had completely refined the medicine’s power, showed that he precisely grasped the vital point of this Jiaolong.

The past glories don’t matter; what’s crucial is how things stand now!

“Fine!” Jiaolong agreed without hesitation, “You start from the alliance with Xuan Gui!”

So, as Shi Liuli was explaining the ideological differences between the righteous and demonic sides, Luo Yan began to talk about first entering the Eastern Emperor Realm, how the Jiaolong Clan and Xuan Gui Clan reached the North Sea, and then allied with each other, agreeing to jointly share North State.

When he got to “Later, as the Jiaolong became stronger, they gradually became dissatisfied with the earlier agreement to share North State. After all, who can tolerate others snoring on one’s bed? They then set their sights on the center of the world, Central State!”

He then fell silent.

The Jiaolong, captivated and at a pivotal moment, abruptly interrupted, could not let it go and immediately spit out a drop of Jiaolong Blood, roaring:

“Take it, continue quickly!”
