Chapter 397: Chapter 399: Harmonious Spiritual Chain
The Queen of Xiayu epted the gold, smiling warmly at Zhu Minng.
Zhu Minng merely maintained a polite smile.
“Are you leaving, young master?” the Queen of Xiayu asked.
“Yes, I’m quite satisfied today,” Zhu Minng replied.
“After you leave the pce, could you release this wild Jiao into the sea bay? Consider it a small act of merit,” the Queen of Xiayu said, handing over the tiny wild Jiao to Zhu Minng.
Zhu Minng nced at the pitiful Little Wild Jiao and nodded.
…
After leaving the Xiayu Gambling Dragon Pce, Zhu Minng and Luo Shaoyan headed toward the Dragon Taming High Court.
Luo Shaoyan looked at the Little Wild Jiao and sighed, “This is fate. Why couldn’t you be a Lei Dragon? If you were, the entire Man City would be in an uproar over you. But instead, you’re just a Wild Jiao, and you almost ended up in someone’s wine jar.”
Zhu Minng went to the edge of the sea bay and gently ced the Little Wild Jiao into the water.
He washed the mud off its body with clean water, then Zhu Minng picked it up again.<div>
“What are you doing?” Luo Shaoyan asked, puzzled.
“How long do you think a newborn Wild Jiao like this could survive in the bay?” Zhu Minng said.
“Who knows? Depends on its own destiny,” Luo Shaoyan replied.
“Raising one Juvenile Spirit is raising; raising two is the same. Even if I am to release it, I should wait until it grows a bit. Otherwise, it will just end up as food for the sea fish,” Zhu Minng stated.
“You’re raising it too? A Wild Jiao is not a true dragon, and it’s not even as intelligent as the little furball you have in your arms… But I guess it doesn’t matter—raising a few Juvenile Spirits is fine. If you think positively, maybe one day it will have a stroke of luck and turn into a dragon. At worst, if it gets used to us, it can guard the house, acting as a pet with some intelligence,” Luo Shaoyan nodded and said.
…
There were no marks on the Little Wild Jiao’s forehead; probably as soon as the egg cracked open, everyone knew it wasn’t a Lei Dragon, and Han Su did not even attempt to form a Spirit Bond.
Several dragons were still sleeping in their cocoons.
Zhu Minng was currently in a period without dragons to train.
Idle as he was, raising another Juvenile Spirit wouldn’t make much of a difference.
If it trulycked intelligence and potential to transform into a dragon, he could wait until it developed scales and teeth, gaining enough capacity to protect itself, before releasing it.
To release it into the seawater just after birth was not true liberation; that was no different from letting it die, which can hardly be considered an act of kindness.
Of course, the Queen of Xiayu understood this as well, so she used Zhu Minng as a tool to let it die.
…
Zhu Minng branded the Little Wild Jiao’s forehead with a Spirit Bond so that he couldmunicate with it more easily.
The Little Wild Jiao was very distressed.
Its hatching had been dyed by a sealing charm, but inside the egg, it had already developed hearing and touch.
It could feel the world outside treating it with utmost care, watching over it.
What was meant to be a grand and anticipated birth resulted in utter degradation, from heaven to hell. Even without understandingnguage or reading facial expressions, it couldprehend the disdain, mockery, and the terrifying rage of someone directed at it!<div>
Zhu Minng fed it some tender beef.
The Little Wild Jiao didn’t refuse, and chewed slowly.
“Don’t be sad; not all creatures are born extraordinary and noble. I have manypanions, and when they were born, they were even weaker than you,” Zhu Minng said as he fed the Little Wild Jiao some milk.
Little Wild Jiao buried his head, drinking milk, with his entire smooth little head covered in cream, but he still listened attentively as Zhu Minng spoke.<div>
“A few days ago, a dean said that the nobility of the academy lies in the fact that, no matter how poor and humble a person is, as long as they’re willing to learn and work hard, they can transform themselves and stand proudly in this world.”
“Many people think that Dragon Shepherds should have an extraordinary vision, to find those Juvenile Spirits with endless potential, and nurture them into peerless dragons.”
“But in my view, a true Dragon Shepherd, even when faced with a very ordinary andmon little spirit, can still rely on their own ability to cultivate the most ordinary little spirit into a supreme ruler.”
“Little Wild Jiao, you’re very lucky, for I am that kind of Dragon Shepherd!”
“So don’t be discouraged, nor should you feel pain because you’re not a Lei Dragon. Just cultivate diligently, and there will be a ce for you in this Neon Sea in the future!”
Little Wild Jiao tilted his small body up, his eyes that had not yet fully opened gazing at the kind human man.
Suddenly, Little Wild Jiao opened his mouth and began to eat the tender beef head voraciously, drinking the milk in big gulps.
“So, what about the Purple Dragon?” Suddenly, an aged and haggard voice sounded from behind.
Shameless!
A half-baked Dragon Shepherd daring to make such ims.
Mr. Jinli felt embarrassed for Zhu Minng!
Zhu Minng gave an awkward smile.
He nced at the Little Wild Jiao, whose body barely glowed with traces of purple particles on his scales. A bit of purple, but not quite a Purple Dragon?<div>
Mr. Jinli swished his tail, circling around Zhu Minng, Little Wild Jiao, and Little Glow Spirit several times, seemingly either angry or pondering. He muttered strange things, but it was iprehensible what he was saying.
“If there were indeedmendable Purple Dragons, of course I would want them. For now, I’ll just raise a few Juvenile Spirits as a reserve,” Zhu Minng said.
Spirit Contracts are still growing.
After all, I only have five dragons now.
“That’s true, you should raise more Juvenile Spirits. These two aren’t bad. Raise them slowly, and perhaps they will shed their wild nature and start showing intelligence,” Mr. Jinli said.
Since the Spirit Contract is still empty, there’s no problem.
Mr. Jinli had already advised Zhu Minng to raise more Juvenile Spirits.
This way, when there are more Spirit Contracts in the future, there will also be more choices in dragon breeds.
Between dragons, there actually exists a Harmonious Spiritual Chain; some of their abilities canplement each other, and even exert greater power in battle.
The Five-Element Dragons are the most ssic Harmonious Spiritual Chain.
Dragons of the metal element, water element, fire element, wood element, and earth element.
If a Dragon Shepherd can collect these Five-Element Dragons, and with their Soul Connection, fuse their elements together, they can form the Five-Element Mark.
This Five-Element Mark is no less significant than draping the five dragons with Dragon Armor forged from heavy gold.<div>
Besides the Five-Element Harmonious Spiritual Chain, there is also resonance and reflection among other attributes, bloodlines, and races.
This principle of Harmonious Spiritual Chain can be considered the most high-end Dragon Shepherd skill. Ordinary Dragon Shepherds truly can’t afford to y with it. Being able to obtain one or two dragons is already good, how could one possibly make all the dragons match perfectly?
Mr. Jinli stresses the Purple Dragon because one of the abilities of the Purple Dragon harmonizes very well with the other dragons Zhu Minng currently owns.
With just a little adjustment to each dragon’s attributes and bloodlines, it might be possible to form the first Harmonious Spiritual Chain.
Of course, as a Dragon Shepherd, Zhu Minng can be said to have a false Harmonious Spiritual Chain, which is the ability to craft perfect high-level Dragon Armor for each dragon.
Full dragon armament, with the highest craftsmanship, hm, hm, this is Zhu Minng’s advantage!
