Chapter 524: Chapter 526 Stove Dragon


    …


    Ancestral Dragon City had be much more prosperous than before, with thend revealing its divine bounty, so much so that the resources here had suddenly flourished. Cultivators who roamed and hunted across the vastness of Li Chuan Continent also often brought the spiritual objects they obtained to sell in the Dragon City-State.


    This provided Zhu Minng with great convenience, as both the Azure Phoenix Azure Dragon and the Refining Ash ck Dragon still had a few aspects that were not yet condensed.


    Early the next morning, Zhu Minng found his capable little assistant, Fang Niannian.


    When he saw Fang Niannian, the girl was no longer selling peaches.


    She now had some insight into dragon rearing and was using her understanding of the market, the shops, and auctions to trade in various ingredients and spiritual resources, making a tidy profit. She had bought herself a small house not far from the Li Family Courtyard, just a few steps away from her beloved River Lantern Street.


    “You’re finally back, I was so bored I could die!” Fang Niannian said, her eyes turning into cute crescents as she saw Zhu Minng.


    “I thought you were going to say you missed me to death,” Zhu Minng smiled in response.


    “Of course, I did, I missed Big ck Tooth too!” Fang Niannian said, her cheeks brighter with her radiant smile as she tugged at Zhu Minng’s sleeve, as if she had a treasure to show him.


    Following her with puzzled curiosity, Fang Niannian finally took out an Ancient Dragon Galldder and said to Zhu Minng, “I bought this from a silly vendor. I don’t know where he got this treasure, but I could tell it was a high-grade spiritual resource, and moreover, it’s an Ancient Dragon Galldder.”<div>


    “This dragon galldder can enhance a dragon’s breath power, not bad at all, Niannian, you’re about to be a little dragon-raising expert!” Zhu Minng praised her.


    This Ancient Dragon Galldder was high-quality and high-level. If given to the Refining Ash ck Dragon, it could sharpen its dragon breath to a cutting edge. A single old dragon sputum might instantly incinerate a small army!!!


    Yet, after summoning Big ck Tooth, Fang Niannian’s little face was full of confusion as she looked at the Refining Ash ck Dragon, then flung herself at Zhu Minng like a little wildcat on a rampage!


    “You big viin, you unfeeling and cold-hearted fiend, even if Big ck Tooth’s bloodline isn’t that noble, you can’t just abandon it. To deceive me with a Big ck Dragon, you bastard, I’m not going to be your little housekeeper any longer. Our kindness and justice end here, Zhu Minng, you’re nothing but a big jerk!!” Fang Niannian ranted and scratched all the while.


    To one side, the imposing and muscr Big ck Tooth scratched his vast dragon belly, appearing to take pleasure in the misfortune before him.


    “That is Big ck Tooth, he simply transformed after restructuring his bloodline!!” Zhu Minng exined with a bitter smile.


    Indeed, the Refining Ash ck Dragon and Lei Cang Violent Dragon were quite different, even changing attributes, and Fang Niannian, who had dealt with various dragon trainers, knew that even if a dragon evolved or ascended, it couldn’t possibly have such a reversal in attributes.


    Therefore, Fang Niannian was convinced that Zhu Minng must have abandoned Big ck Tooth because his bloodline was too lowly and tamed another pitch-ck dragon. Even if its teeth were still as ck as ever, it was no longer the silly, endearing Big ck Tooth that she loved!n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om


    “Oh!!!!”


    Only then did Big ck Tooth step in to mediate.


    “You talk to it yourself. The Refining Ash ck Dragon is Big ck Tooth. How could I possibly abandon a dragon partner with whom I’ve shared weal and woe? I am the most morally noble Dragon Shepherd,” Zhu Minng asserted.


    “Is it really Big ck Tooth?” Fang Niannian’s eyes reddened, thinking the real Big ck Tooth was hiding in some cave, licking its wounds in pitiful humbleness.


    “Oh!!!!!!!!” Big ck Tooth slowly brought hisrge head down, lifting Fang Niannian with his dragon horn, cing delicate Linglong Fang Niannian perfectly atop his head.


    This familiar, affectionate gesture atst calmed Fang Niannian’s sadness, heartache, and anger.


    Zhu Minng truly broke out in a cold sweat.


    “Little Qingzhuo has also changed; just giving you a heads up,” Zhu Minng said.


    “What fortunes have they encountered to evolve to such high bloodlines??” Fang Niannian asked, confused.


    “I’m not sure myself, maybe they just tried harder,” Zhu Minng replied nonchntly.


    Exining this kind of thing isn’t easy in just a sentence or two.<div>


    “Oh my, won’t their food now have to be especially exquisite?” Fang Niannian realized this issue.


    The higher the bloodline, the more expensive the food required. Fang Niannian had actually stockpiled some quality dragon food, waiting for Zhu Minng to return so she could fatten up each of these dragon pets. But now that their bloodlines had changed, many of the dragon foods seemed somewhat crude!


    However, fortunately, Ancestral Dragon City was now abundant with quality dragon food, so purchasing it shouldn’t be too difficult.


    Fang Niannian took her notes very seriously, meticulously recording each dragon’s current preferences, tastes, attributes, bloodlines, secondary attributes, condensation levels, spiritual asset needs, soul bead needs, and innate abilities…<div>


    She also remembered the preferences and needs of Little Glow Spirit and Little Jiao Spirit with great detail.


    “By the way, there’s a dragon that’s very special that I want to buy,” Fang Niannian suddenly said.


    “You want to raise a dragon too?” Zhu Minng said.


    “It’s a Stove Dragon.”


    “What kind of dragon??” Zhu Minng almost thought he heard wrong.


    “Stove as in cooking stove. Yes, I saw it at the auction yesterday. It has a big copper shell on its back, like a copper pot, and this type of dragon usually eats coal. It generates tremendous heat in its body. You know, we often go out on journeys, and when it rains, we can’t even cook and have to eat those awful dry rations. Most dragon shepherds definitely wouldn’t raise this type of dragon, which is perfect for me. I really like it, it’s just that the price is too high; I can’t afford it,” Fang Niannian continued.


    Request a grant!


    This Stove Dragon is exceedingly unique but somewhat superfluous for many dragon shepherds since it doesn’t seem to have muchbat power, merely tough skin and flesh for self-protection.


    The Stove Dragon was very suited for their team, but it’d be wasteful for Zhu Minng to sign the Spirit Contract, so it was more appropriate for Fang Niannian to raise it herself.


    “Stove Dragons are indeed good, and I’ve also heard that dragon ingredients specially cooked can be very helpful for cultivation. It’s okay to buy one, but do you have a Spirit Contract?” Zhu Minng asked earnestly.


    “I do,” Fang Niannian’s smile grew even brighter as she continued, “The other day when I went home, I ate a peach we grew. After eating it, the next day, it seems I had formed a Spirit Contract.”


    “?????” Zhu Minng looked at Fang Niannian with changed eyes.


    He seriously suspected that Fang Niannian had spent a lot of money to buy a Spiritual Contract Fruit, granting her a Spirit Contract.<div>


    “Agreed on the grant, no matter the price, buy that Stove Dragon. From now on, you’re not just our dragon food steward, but also our Chief Chef!” Zhu Minng said.


    “That’s great, I have my own dragon now!” Fang Niannian, ted, spread her delicate arms and pounced like a swallow returning to its nest, even brazenly nting a kiss on Zhu Minng’s cheek.


    In contrast, Zhu Minng blushed, although he knew that Fang Niannian was just too excited and got a bit carried away.
