Chapter 295: 292: Wholeheartedly_l

The Golden Claw Python was taken aback: “Well, Young Master, I’ve never really thought about it.”

“What, you never thought about it?” Yang Chen was slightly lost for words:

“How can you not think about it? That makes no sense.”

“Because I feel very close to each attribute.” The Demon Python twisted its body: “The basic Metal, Wood, Water, Fire, and Earth elements, as well as variants like Wind and Thunder, I seem to relate to all of them. It’s just Water that I feel closer to now, the others are slightly less so.”

Hearing this, Yang Chen was taken aback and suddenly thought of something.

Yes, since the Golden Claw Python has the potential to become a True Dragon, of course, this Demon Python would be equally close to all attributes.

Why?

Because the True Dragon Race can manipulate wind and fire, go through the earth, or soar into the sky, and they are capable of anything. They are not restricted to the Five Elements like common martial artists or average Demon Beasts, who can only use one of the Five Elements. The True Dragon Race can use anything. A sneeze can result in water, opening its mouth can produce fire, and wagging its tail can cause thunderstorms.

Since the Golden Claw Python has the potential to become a True Dragon, naturally it would have a good affinity for any of the Five Elements. However, since its growth is still restricted, the Python cannot utilize most of the power related to these elements, hence it relates closest to Water.

Realizing this, Yang Chen was elated, “That’s right, Brother Python, you can help me a great deal this time. Since you can relate to any of the Five Elements, it means your blood essence carries an extremely dominant Water element!” His mind now in high gear, he was inwardly excited.

If the Golden Claw Python is cultivated, its blood essence can be of significant benefit to him.

Why?

Because the True Dragon Race is not constrained by the Five Elements. And not being constrained by the Five Elements means they are not limited by them.

After refining their blood essence within his body, even if he could not become like the True Dragon Race, not bound by the Five Elements, the power of his movements would still break through the limitations of the Five Elements. Like his current Thunder Style, after refining the blood essence of the True Dragon Race, he would greatly benefit, with a power far beyond the normal Thunderbolt Power; its extent was incalculable!

Of course, this Demon Python is currently a world apart from a True Dragon, and its internal blood essence would hardly have this effect, but it would be more than enough to create the Fire Chamber.

With that thought in mind, Yang Chen smiled and said: “Both of you below, listen to my instructions. I need your help to practice a martial arts technique.”

The Demon Python opened its fangs: “Young Master, just give your orders. If there’s anything you need me to help with, I, the Great Python, won’t be vague!”

Hearing this, Yang Chen gave a slight smile: “Thank you very much, Brother Python. What I need from you is not much, but it might make you a bit uncomfortable as a Demon Beast. I need a drop of your blood essence!” For Demon Beasts, this blood essence is their pride.

So many demon beasts, even at death, wouldn’t give their essence to humans. And if they died, the essence of that blood would be lost.

The Demon Python was visibly taken aback when it heard that Yang Chen wanted a drop of its blood essence, but it quickly said: “Young Master, it’s just a drop of blood essence, no problem.”

Hearing this, Yang Chen felt relieved. It was clear that the Demon Python had completely resolved to assist him.

That was enough. Today, with this drop of blood essence, given time, he will repay the Demon Python.

Action followed thought, and the Demon Python was very straightforward. It opened its fangs and spat out a drop of blood as large as a soybean from its mouth. The blood floated in the air, swaying slightly.

Upon close examination, one could feel the astonishing power contained within this blood essence, a power that did not exist in ordinary Demon Pythons.

“What a dominant blood essence, this is it!” Yang Chen looked at the blood and grinned, “Thank you, Brother Python. You can go back and rest in the Eight Extremes River Space.”

Upon hearing this, the Demon Python sprang up and entered the Eight Extremes River Space.

Immediately afterwards, Yang Chen focused his gaze on Cai Hong and gently said, “Cai Hong, I need your help again. Please summon the Clan Elder of your tribe who possesses the Spiritual Power of the True Martial Realm!”

“No problem.” Cai Hong sighed long and a trace of sorrow flashed across her face.

This sorrow captured Yang Chen’s attention and surprised him a bit.

He didn’t think much about it, but when he saw the Clan Elder of the Fish Clan come out, he immediately understood the reason for Cai Hong’s sorrow.

This Clan Elder of the Fish Clan, his upper half resembled an old woman, while the color of the fish scales of his lower part was already fading. They were uneven, and a few had even fallen off. Even without understanding the Fish Clan, one would know that this was a sign of old age, approaching death. “Grandma Yun Lu!” Cai Hong rushed forward to support the frail elder when she saw him.

“The old woman, Yun Lu, of the Mermaid, greets Young Master Yang.” The mermaid struggled to move.

Seeing this, Yang Chen sighed.

If he initially only wanted to help the Fish Clan prolong their lives without really understanding the lives of the Fish Clan, now, he finally realized how important longevity was for the Fish Clan.

Who wouldn’t want to live longer?

For humans, even when their lifespan ends, they won’t appear so derelict because humans practice Martial Arts. Even at the point of death, the body does not deteriorate, it’s just the energy that depletes.

However, the Fish Clan is different.

Once they enter old age, many things decline significantly. Like Yun Lu, who can’t even walk steadily now, life is too important for them.

In deep thought, Yang Chen said seriously, “Cai Hong, from now on, helping the Fish Clan find the ingredients for the Longevity Pill will become my top priority. As soon as the ingredients are complete, I will immediately refine the Longevity Pill for you.”

“Young Master, really?” Tears glistened in Cai Hong’s eyes as she supported Mermaid Yun Lu, her eyes filled with teardrops of crystalline sorrow.

“Why are you crying, have I ever lied to you?” Yang Chen laughed wryly, “Don’t worry, with me here, the Fish Clan will no longer have short lifespans like before.”

Yun Lu also showed a glimmer of joy on her face, “This old woman, Yun Lu, also thanks the Young Master. Speaking of which, I wonder what help the Young Master needs from me. This old body is no good for anything, but I am indeed very proficient in the way of Spiritual Power.. Whatever help the Young Master needs, even if this old woman has to give up her life, there is no problem!”
