Big dreamer

After hearing this, Shen Luo felt that his head was a little big. He lowered his head and rubbed his chin and walked in a circle. Suddenly he raised his head and said:

"No, let's divide it, shall we? How about you and I each take half?"

Ao Hong was stunned when he heard this, and a look of surprise flashed in his eyes.

The blue-eyed golden toad that had been staying in the dragon's beard basket seemed to understand his words. It barked a few times and puffed up its cheeks, as if to express its objection.

"Brother Shen, are you pursuing this blue-eyed golden toad to save people's lives?" Ao Hong suddenly realized and asked quickly.

"It's not about saving other people's lives, it's about saving my own life." Shen Luo sighed and said.

Ao Hong looked Shen Luo up and down and asked doubtfully: "Brother Shen... doesn't he look like someone with some illness?"

"Due to some special reasons, my body's vitality has been depleted. Now I have less than three years of life. Only by breaking through the realm of cultivation as soon as possible and entering the soul condensation stage can I add more life to myself." Shen Luo said slowly.

"So that's it. Brother Shen wants to use this blue-eyed golden toad to improve his magic power and improve his cultivation. That is really difficult for me. I'm really sorry." After hearing this, Ao Hong said with cupped fists.

"That's okay. Tell me, is the method I mentioned earlier feasible?" Shen Luo waved his hand and asked.

Before Ao Hong could speak, two more toad calls came from the dragon's beard basket.

"The person I want to save has a strange cold poison in his body. Every day when it attacks, his whole body will be covered with frost, and he will suffer from extreme cold every day. This blue-eyed golden toad has the blood of the Jade Toad in the Moon Palace, so he is not afraid Only by absorbing the cold poison from her body every day can she have a chance of survival, so it is not feasible to dismember the golden toad." Ao Hong sighed and said.

After hearing this, Shen Luo didn't know how to make a decision for a while and fell into deep thought.

At this time, Ao Hong suddenly thought of something, looked at Shen Luo eagerly, and said, "Brother Shen, if I can exchange it with you for something that is as effective as the Blue-Eyed Golden Toad, or even better than it, would you be willing? "

"What?" Shen Luo's eyes lit up and he became interested.

Ao Hong looked around and saw that everyone in the Dragon Palace was far away from them, so he whispered in Shen Luo's ear:

"Dragon blood."

"Dragon blood? Your blood essence?" After hearing this, Shen Luo was stunned for a moment and then asked.

As a creature of the fairies, dragons are revered for their status and status. The dragon's blood, which is its essence and blood, is a treasure among treasures. One drop can often attract both human and demon tribes to compete for it, let alone the dragon blood of the East China Sea Dragon Clan. .

"Although the blue-eyed golden toad is considered a spiritual creature of heaven and earth, and can greatly increase your cultivation level after swallowing it, it feeds on the soul of the moon on a daily basis, and there is already accumulation of cold air in the body. Over time, cold poison has developed. If you take it rashly, there are hidden dangers. It's really not that small. In comparison, Dragon Blood doesn't have these problems." Ao Hong nodded seriously.

"But if you force the blood out, it will consume a lot of energy, right?" Shen Luo said hesitantly after hearing this.

"It doesn't matter, I'll recover after going back and resting for ten or eight years. Brother Shen, my pure dragon blood may not be as effective in increasing mana as quickly as you swallowing the golden toad, but it can directly extend a person's life by at least Ten years. And if you practice water magic, if you have dragon blood in your body, it can also enhance your control of the power of water. This can even change your physique to a certain extent, making your water magic practice smoother. " Seeing that Shen Luo was still hesitating, Ao Hong hurriedly continued to persuade.

Shen Luo listened to him talking about the advantages of his own essence and blood as if selling goods, his eyes flashed slightly, and he couldn't help but feel a little moved and said: "Brother Ao, the person you want to save must be very important to you, right?"

Ao Hong paused slightly when he heard the words, as if he thought of that person, a smile appeared on his lips and he nodded.

"I'm willing to trade with you." Shen Luo smiled.

"Thank you, thank you so much, Brother Shen." Ao Hong was immediately overjoyed and said repeatedly.

Shen Luo waved his hand, took off the dragon beard basket from his waist, and handed it directly to Ao Hong.

"Brother Shen, wait a moment." Ao Hong saw this, but did not pick him up immediately.

After that, he carefully turned around and took a look. Seeing that all the soldiers in the Dragon Palace were looking towards them, he took out a white jade porcelain bottle from the storage ring and placed it on the index finger of his right hand.

Ao Hong's eyes were slightly closed, and he muttered something in his mouth. Then a golden light lit up from his heart, flowing along his shoulders, elbows, and arms until he reached the tip of his right index finger.

But with a flash of light from his fingertips, a drop of blood with a golden luster coagulated out and fell into the bottle with a "click" sound.

Immediately afterwards, there were sounds of blood falling one after another.

It wasn't until ten drops of blood were dropped into the bottle that Ao Hong took back his hand with a pale face and said:

"Brother Shen, the most I can give you is this. Any more will hurt the foundation. Once discovered by my father, I will have to walk away without food. You must also remember that unless it is absolutely necessary, this blood can only be used for For your own use and not to be transferred to others.”

"Thank you." This time it was Shen Luo who cupped his fists to thank him.

After the two exchanged the blue-eyed golden toad and dragon blood, their expressions became a little more relaxed.

"Brother Shen, since it's rare for us to meet each other and we are so close to the East China Sea, why not go to the Dragon Palace with fellow Taoist Xie as a guest, so that I can fulfill my friendship as a landlord." Ao Hong approached Shen Luo and said.

"There's no need to be a guest. I have other things to do right now, so I have to rush to Chang'an as soon as possible." Shen Luo waved his hand and declined.

"Sigh, I thought that if I could take this distinguished guest back to the Dragon Palace, my father might be able to be lenient and at least not punish me for the time being. It seems that I am doomed..." Ao Hong sighed with a look of sorrow on his face.

Shen Luo smiled when he heard this but didn't take it seriously.

After repairing for a while, Ao Hong thanked Xie Yuxin generously, and then left with everyone in the Dragon Palace.

"As expected of the East China Sea Dragon Palace, it is indeed generous." Xie Yuxin weighed the heavy cloth bag in her hand, which was full of fairy jade, and said sincerely.

"Thank you, fellow Taoist. I'm not going to the Dragon Palace as a guest. I have important matters to go to Chang'an. Why did you decline Ao Hong's kindness?" Shen Luo asked with a smile.

"Are you going to Chang'an?" Xie Yuxin asked in surprise.

"What? Are you going to Chang'an next?" Shen Luo asked doubtfully.

"Yes, I also have something to go to Chang'an. You and I can go together." Xie Yuxin said with a smile.

"That's very good, but before that, I have to find a place to retreat for a while. It won't be too long. Can you please help my fellow Taoist Xie to protect me?" Shen Luo looked at Xie Yuxin and asked.

"I also need some repairs, so I'm fine." Xie Yuxin readily agreed.

After the two reached an agreement, they returned to the Tiankeng Inn together.

But after entering the house, they saw blood all over the floor and the headless bodies of shopkeeper Chen and the other three.
