Chapter 42 The Spirit Python Transforms into a Dragon
"Aww~!"
A strange, dragon-like roar emanated from the mouth of a spirit python.
The sound seemed to penetrate to the very soul, causing Qin Fang, who was standing right next to it, to tremble in his very being.
After a long while, when Qin Fang came to his senses, he was surprised to find that...
The pangolin python was writhing and thrashing on the ground in agony, as if it were suffering some unbearable pain.
Painful hissing sounds continuously came from the python's mouth.
"That shouldn't be the case..."
Qin Fang's tone was extremely surprised.
He had also bestowed other spiritual roots upon himself before, but this scene did not occur then.
At that time, even though his spiritual root attribute had undergone a drastic change, he did not feel anything was wrong with his body.
Could it be that……
The spiritual root attributes of humans are not quite the same as those of demon beasts.
Qin Fang's expression became more anxious!
This was a Foundation Establishment stage spirit python that he had just bought from Zhong Wu for a considerable amount of spirit stones!
If any unexpected situation were to occur at this moment, he would truly be in despair.
But regarding this...
Qin Fang was also utterly helpless.
Unless he is willing to remove the turbid dragon bloodline that he just bestowed upon the spirit python.
Otherwise, he could only watch helplessly as everything unfolded before his eyes.
I haven't used up today's trading limit.
Qin Fang could naturally trade back the Turbid Dragon bloodline to alleviate the Spirit Python's current state of suffering...
But that would contradict his original purpose.
This "bloodline change" was not only to obtain a spirit beast for him to cultivate his techniques in the future, but also partly for experimental purposes.
He will definitely do this again in the future, bestowing bloodlines upon spirit beasts! It's impossible to stop what's happening now just because there's a possibility of loss.
With this thought in mind, Qin Fang completely calmed down.
Even as the python roared in agony, the expression on his face grew increasingly calm and undisturbed.
A stick of incense.
Half an hour.
One hour.
Three hours!
Qin Fang could only watch helplessly as his 'spirit stone' gradually drifted away from him.
It's impossible not to feel heartache.
But in order to find out the reason, Qin Fang had to watch it happen, even if the spirit python perished as a result, he would not hesitate!
however.
After waiting for about half an hour...
A look of overwhelming joy flashed in Qin Fang's eyes.
He understood the situation clearly!
So that's how it is~
The current state of this python is remarkably similar to the legendary "transformation into a dragon"!
Just like back in the Crimson Forbidden Land, the Ink Flood Dragon wasn't initially in the form of a dragon...
It was only after being severely injured by Nangong Wan that he finally broke through that last remaining restriction, fully awakened the dragon bloodline within him, and successfully broke through the limitations of his realm.
How similar this situation is to what it was back then!
This pangolin-scaled python is currently evolving into a dragon...
"If you don't want to die!"
"Strive to successfully transform into a dragon, and once you succeed, all the suffering here will be completely gone!"
"At that time, you will no longer be an ordinary python—but a dragon feared by all!"
"With such an opportunity before us, do not hesitate! Break through it!"
Qin Fang didn't care whether the spirit python understood or not, and directly encouraged it.
Even if this pangolin python failed to fuse and break through, it wouldn't matter much to him.
At worst, we can just reclaim the Turbid Dragon's bloodline!
At most, it would only be a loss of spirit stones from a mountain armor python, which is nothing to Qin Fang.
Moreover... to put it bluntly, the materials from the pangolin python's entire body can recoup most of the cost, so the loss is still within an acceptable range.
However, Qin Fang didn't want to go through that trouble!
If one can obtain what one desires in one go, why waste time on it? Therefore, he earnestly hoped that the spirit python could successfully transform into a dragon.
It seems that Qin Fang's words had an effect, or perhaps there was some other reason.
For the next few hours, the python stopped hissing and instead struggled silently on the ground.
Even when painful screams occasionally escaped, they sounded extremely suppressed.
...This stalemate lasted for a full day and night.
The following afternoon.
The python was lying motionless on the ground, and from a distance, it looked like it was dead.
However, the rising and falling breaths on its body indicated that the python was still alive.
Even if he were still alive, his life was almost over, and it seemed he was not going to make it.
"Sigh~"
Qin Fang slowly squatted down and gently stroked the rough scales of the spirit python.
Even without testing, Qin Fang could sense that the armor's defensive capabilities were extraordinary.
Such a spirit beast, known for its defensive capabilities, was the most suitable for him to use in cultivating the Nine Dragons Suppressing Meridians Technique.
But now...
Qin Fang was filled with helplessness.
Unintentionally, Qin Fang's eyes met those of the spirit python, and he saw a trace of resentment in its eyes.
What kind of look was that...?
If those eyes appeared on a human cultivator, Qin Fang wouldn't be surprised at all.
But this is a spirit python that is only at the second level!
Is their intelligence really that high?!
Qin Fang forcibly concealed the surprise in his eyes, straightened his expression, and lowered his head to speak to the spirit python.
"I can sense it..."
"You've succeeded 90%! You're just a little bit away from completely transforming into a dragon."
"Do you still have the strength?"
Qin Fang lied.
Judging from the python's condition, it has at most succeeded by more than 70%.
But with that look in his eyes, he couldn't bear to see the other person perish.
If they give up now, this already severely injured spirit python will soon explode and die due to the dragon bloodline that has appeared in its body.
'chanting'
The python responded with a roar that was now comparable to that of a dragon.
"good!"
"Swallow these spiritual materials..."
"Although it won't make a big difference, it will at least help you maintain your strength a little longer."
"I observe that you are quite intelligent..."
"As you probably know, this change in you was caused by me, by activating the 'Dragon Clan' bloodline within you!"
"You weren't going to live long to begin with. Even without my intervention, you'd only have seventy or eighty years left to live at most..."
"Are you really willing to die?!"
"You are a member of the dragon clan! Even if your life is nearing its end... don't you want to revert to your dragon form before you die?!"
"Though you are suffering, once you get through this hardship, the road ahead will be smooth!"
"Not only can it heal your injuries, but it can also help you advance to a higher level!"
"As long as you successfully get through this ordeal..."
"You have great potential! The dragon bloodline within you is awakening; it's something that was always meant for you, and you are absolutely capable of carrying the dragon bloodline!"
Qin Fang's words were naturally meant to give the other party some confidence.
However, he never mentioned that he was the one who introduced the dragon bloodline into the other person's body.
This is Qin Fang's biggest secret. Even if the other party is a spirit beast, they may become companions who spend every day together in the future.
But he would never reveal too much!
"bring it on!"
"Let me see what this dragon is capable of!"
Qin Fang stood up and encouraged him.
