Ch60 - Second Floor
Shao Ci never expected that things would develop to such a stage.
Ever since hatching, the beautiful boy from the dragon clan kept clinging onto Shao Ci. Frantically kissing his face and hugging his neck, unwilling to let go.
Even though his appearance looked to be twelve or thirteen, this dragon’s mentality was similar to that of a newborn child.
Shao Ci couldn’t help but feel like this beautiful youth from the dragon clan has taken him as his father. But of course, things could have been even worse, such as being seen as a mother.
Luckily, Shao Ci had a storage ring as well. This storage ring was given to him as a token of respect by the sect leader of the Igniting Star sect, who claimed that when going out it was important to possess a storage ring. However, while there weren’t any food inside, there were quite a few clothes.
He really had no idea what the sect leader of the Igniting Star sect was thinking when he placed so many articles of clothing in.
But it came in useful right now. Shao Ci immediately took out an article of clothing and put it onto the beautiful youth from the dragon clan. It felt unnatural seeing a naked man hanging around in front of him.
The system only gave him a three day break from his daily tasks. Hopefully Ling WangChen would be able to find him before the three days were up.
It was at this time that Shao Ci actually hoped that Ling WangChen had left a mark on his body or something.
In such a scary place, it was better to have two people than to be alone, Although Shao Ci was unsure of how strong a newly hatched ancient dragon could be… plus, he had a feeling that having stayed in an egg for so many years, he should also be a little malnourished.
“Let’s give you a name, it’ll make it easier to call you as well.” Shao Ci looked towards the other party, and suddenly remembered that he was incompetent in naming. He almost said something along the lines of calling the dragon Long Er since he was part of the dragon clan.
Subsequently, a brilliant idea flashed through Shao Ci’s mind. He recalled the name of the king of the ancient dragons in the original text, hence said, “Since you are the last ancient dragon, let’s give you the same name as the previous king. From now on, your name will be Qing Xuan.”
Speaking of which, in the original text, although it was said that Shao YueZhao was able to use a secret technique to control the bones of the ancient dragons, the bones of the ancient dragon king were never found.
The beautiful dragon clan boy seemed very satisfied with the name he was given. He directly jumped into Shao Ci’s arms and rubbed against him. Then blinked, looked at Shao Ci, and said softly, “Hungry…”
It was impossible for anyone to refuse when being depended on and looked at by such a beautiful looking boy.
Shao Ci: “!” But, there was nothing he could do. He was useless in combat. It was difficult for him to go out and hunt monsters to feed the boy with.
Wait. Shao Ci abruptly remembered the jade slips that Ling WangChen had previously given him. He took them out and placed them onto his forehead. Immediately, large amounts of information poured into his mind.
He then despaired as he realised that recorded on one of the jade slips was only information on how one can absorb large amounts of spiritual energy. While the other one contained information on how to sparingly use spiritual energy.
Shao Ci had to admit that these skills were very useful considering the physical state he was in. But they were basically useless in battle!
Just as Shao Ci was feeling devastated, he saw Qing Xuan pout, looking as though he was about to start crying, and finally decided to temporarily believe in the strength of the dragon clan.
Hence, Shao Ci brought the remaining egg shells to use as a shield, placed it on his head, and carefully brought Qing Xuan out of the cave.
At this very moment, a monster was walking outside, making roaring sounds from time to time.
This was a monster called the thunder tiger. It’s appearance looked similar to that of a tiger. It’s body was surrounded with crackling lightning. One could tell that it was hard to deal with with just a single glance… or at least defeating it was impossible for Shao Ci who was only at the foundation building stage.
“Holy crap… to encounter something so difficult the moment I try to leave this place.” Shao Ci cautiously huddled inside the cave.
Shao Ci realised that the formation within this cave could hide people’s presence, which was why monsters outside could not find out what was hidden inside. However, the formation had been slightly damaged over time. If not, Shao Ci wouldn’t have been able to notice that there was a cave even if he had been standing directly in front of it.
While Shao Ci was retreating, Qing Xuan broke out of his embrace and rushed out. Before Shao Ci even had time to pull him back, Qing Xuan had already pounced onto the thunder tiger.
Just as Shao Ci thought that the last remaining ancient dragon was going to die like this, the thunder tiger immediately laid on the ground looking terrified.
Shao Ci: “……” Oh ya, how did he forget that the dragon’s bloodline was born with the natural ability to suppress monsters.
Qing Xuan, on the other hand, was curiously pinching and stroking the thunder tiger’s body. Then, when he got tired of playing, he scratched the thunder tiger with his claws, causing the body to split directly into several parts, blood and flesh splattering everywhere.
“! !” Shao Ci suddenly felt fortunate. As if not for the fact that his healing ability would cause non-human beings to have a good impression of him, he would have likely been clawed to death by Qing Xuan the moment he hatched.
Qing Xuan then tore off a huge chunk of meat and quickly swallowed it. By this time, the clothes on his body were already covered in blood. His white face was stained with blood as well. But he looked indifferent, and was happily waving at Shao Ci.
Shao Ci threw the egg shell aside, walked forward, and reached his hand out to help Qing Xuan wipe his face. Qing Xuan looked at Shao Ci with wide eyes, then tore a piece of flesh off the thunder tiger’s body and offered it to Shao Ci with shining eyes. “Eat……”
“You can’t eat a monster’s flesh like this.” Shao Ci replied.
Even though it’s fine for Qing Xuan to eat raw meat, it felt weird… plus Shao Ci couldn’t bear to see such a beautiful young man lying on his stomach, eating raw meat.
After dragging the tiger thunder’s corpse back into the cave, Shao Ci found a way to start a fire and started grilling the meat. Due to the situation they were in right now they could only grill meat using this method.
Qing Xuan sat at one side in high spirits, resting his face in his hands while looking at Shao Ci grill meat.
Being stared at with adoring eyes caused Shao Ci to start developing the misconception that he was an expert at grilling meat.
After the meat was done grilling, Shao Ci took a bite, and finally had to succumb to the cruel reality that he had absolutely no talent in cooking.
The grilled meat was half raw, half burnt, and did not have any parts that were edible.
Rather than having to eat this sort of grilled meat, one was probably better off eating the meat raw!
Qing Xuan was completely unaware of the problem. He immediately took the meat from Shao Ci and finished it in one bite. Then happily passed the rest of the meat to Shao Ci for him to grill.
Shao Ci’s mood felt very complicated and had the illusion that he was abusing a child.
After working hard to make various adjustments, while the meat grilled by Shao Ci couldn’t be considered delicious, the taste at the very least could still be considered passable… and the meat he cooked was no longer half burnt half raw.
Then something even scarier happened.
As a member of the dragon clan, Qing Xuan had a very large appetite… Just one or two portions of grilled meat was completely not enough for him. After finishing a piece he would look at Shao Ci with shining eyes, hold his hand, then say in a soft voice. “Hungry.”
All Shao Ci could do was force himself to say, “Don’t worry, it’ll be done soon.”
In actual fact, his arms were already sore… barbecuing was really not something a person like him could do. Furthermore, he wasn’t as capable as Jin Kun who was able to grill hundreds of pieces of meat at once.
After he was done barbecuing the entire thunder tiger, Shao Ci felt that he should have just eaten raw meat. But seeing Qing Xuan’s satisfied appearance, he felt a bewildering sense of satisfaction.

……He suddenly felt like he was raising a pet with an extremely large appetite.

Within the two short days he’d been here, Shao Ci’s meat grilling skills had improved to the level where his grilled meat could be considered delicious.
No matter who it was, if they had to grill so much meat everyday, it would be strange if their skills did not improve.
Even though Shao Ci was slow at absorbing spiritual energy, he was fortunate that this place was full of it. Plus with the support of the techniques taught on the jade slips given to him by Ling WangChen, he could be considered pretty lucky that the puppet spell on his back did not flare-up.
But on the third day, an accident occured.
While going out with Qing Xuan, Shao Ci all of a sudden heard the voices of some people talking. He immediately pulled Qing Xuan to hide behind a skeleton.
Fortunately, the atmosphere of this place was extremely chaotic, and he and Qing Xuan did not have to worry about anyone noticing their presence.
Walking towards them were a few cultivators. No……to be accurate, they were demon cultivators.
It was pretty easy to differentiate between demon cultivators and daoist cultivators. They all looked fierce and vicious, and the vibes they gave off were extremely different from daoist cultivators as well.
These demon cultivators had cultivation levels at the peak of the golden core stage, although demon cultivators call it the demon core instead of golden core, the purpose and settings were almost the same.
“Can we really catch dragons in such a run down place?”
“You dare to doubt our demon lord?” The other demon cultivator snorted coldly. “Since the demon lord told us to come here, there must be something here.”
“How could I dare question our demon lord?” That demon cultivator hurriedly added, “It’s just that these ancient dragons have already been extinct for hundreds of years, it couldn’t be that they faked their deaths?”
Shao Ci: “!”
They mentioned the demon lord… actually in the original novel, after Shao YueZhao killed off Si WuXing, it led to him being hunted down by the demon lord. After painstakingly killing off Si WuXing’s father, it unexpectedly led to the attention of Si WuXing’s older brother……
That’s right, Si WuXing’s older brother was a person called Si WuYue, and his level of strength was higher than his demon lord father!!
Si WuYue’s identity was nothing but the demon lord’s illegitimate son. His mother was also a demon cultivator with a low level of cultivation. If not for the strength and Si WuYue’s identity as the demon lord’s son, both mother and son would have been killed long ago.
But in actual fact, Si WuYue’s true identity was that he was the reincarnation of the god of the underworld.
Shao Ci actually suspected that this character was forcefully added in by the author. What the hell is god of the underworld… The author also later included a map to the underworld.
Even though it was the underworld, and it was mainly full of ghost cultivators, it was virtually the same as the cultivation world. While the ghosts cultivators inside were slightly harder to deal with, they all still helped in providing the protagonist with experience points.
But it hasn’t been very long since the plot started, so the demon lord these people were referring to should presumably be Si WuXing’s father.
That Si WuYue with the freakishly strong combat power, should still not appear in the time being……
But even if that was the case, so what. They were in such a dire situation right now, was the identity of the current demon lord who no one knows the whereabouts of so important? !
“Anyways let’s just keep looking, if we really can’t find anything there’s nothing we can do.”
As they were about to leave, one person suddenly said, “I smell blood, and it’s not coming from us……”
“Someone is hiding somewhere!”
Shao Ci: “!” What the hell, how are you able to so casually identify whether the smell of blood is from you or someone else? What a completely useless skill.
They were going to be caught if this goes on. Shao Ci had no other choice but to pull Qing Xuan into running away.
But one just needed to think about it to know that trash in the foundation building stage like Shao Ci would never be able to escape. They only managed to run a short distance before Shao Ci got bound up by a spell and fell onto the floor unable to move.
Qing Xuan immediately stopped and anxiously looked at Shao Ci. He tried his best to pull Shao Ci’s hands in hopes of bringing him away, but it was useless.
Shao Ci clenched his teeth, “You go back first, I’ll be back in a bit!”
He could resurrect after death, but Qing Xuan couldn’t. Who knows what would happen to him if he got captured by those demon cultivators.
Qing Xuan quickly shook his head, then looked towards the demon cultivators who were slowly walking towards Shao Ci. His eyes were filled with killing intent and he directly rushed towards them.
“Qing Xuan!” Shao Ci felt touched, but he was even more worried. Qing Xuan had only hatched a few days ago, was he really able to defeat these old and crafty demon cultivators?
“Oh my what’s this, a foundation stage cultivator, and a dragon?”
“It seems like our luck is pretty good.”
The demonic cultivators grinned as they walked over. Looking at Qing Xuan who was rushing towards them, their eyes were filled with disdain.
“It’s just a baby dragon. If not for the fact that the demon lord asked us to capture it alive, I would have killed it directly.”
The eyes of these people were full of contempt, and the person standing in the middle threw a sparkling gold net directly at Qing Xuan.
The moment the gold net touched Qing Xuan, he fell onto the ground as if he had lost all his strength, and was entangled by the golden net. He could only whimper anxiously as he had no strength to escape.
“This is a magical treasure specially prepared by the demon lord. It’s effective against even the mightiest dragons. A baby dragon like this can forget about escaping.”
Shao Ci: “……”
“Now what do we do with this cultivator?”
“Just kill him off and we’re done.”
“You’re right, what I hate the most in life are these hypocritical cultivators.”
“But we can’t let him die so easily, he needs to be tortured first.”
Shao Ci: “……” We’re actually all acquaintances, don’t touch me! If he were to say that he’s Si WuXing’s puppet does he still have a chance of being saved?
Seeing these people walking closer to Shao Ci, Qing Xuan struggled anxiously, his eyes full of worry. But the net was too strong, and no matter how hard he struggled he couldn’t escape. His body was full of cuts and he kept making low pitched roaring noises in hopes of scaring off the demon cultivators.
“This dragon is surprisingly protective of his master. But too bad, a little guy like you can forget about ever escaping.”
“Besides, this cultivator isn’t even your real master.” As the demon cultivator spoke he grabbed Shao Ci by the hair, forcefully pulling him up and sneered, “Your real master is our demon lord.”
These people started laughing again, as one person waved a longsword in Shao Ci’s face, as if he was thinking of what the most pleasant way to torture him was.
Qing Xuan could only watch as Shao Ci was being humiliated by this group of people. As he gritted his teeth tightly, something seemed to flash through his mind.
Shao Ci meanwhile had starting contemplating if he should just commit suicide directly. Even though he wouldn’t feel any pain from the torture, he felt like he had no hope of surviving such a situation.
The next moment, a loud bang sounded from where Qing Xuan was.
The demon cultivators were stunned, turned their heads, only to see that the golden net had actually been torn open. Qing Xuan stood in place as his body was rapidly growing. His eyes turned gold as he coldly gazed at these people. His imposing momentum was several times stronger than before, oppressing these demon cultivators till the point where they could no longer breathe.
“What, what is going on?” “Why would he grow up all of a sudden? The demon lord never said that this would happen.”
As these demon cultivators were starting to panic, someone spoke, “Don’t worry, his master is in our hands right now. As long as we have this……”
Before he could even finish his sentence, a claw abruptly pierced his dantian.
The demon cultivator was startled as he lowered his head to look at his stomach. The next moment, the demon core within his dantian got clawed open. He immediately spat out a mouthful of fresh blood and died.
The remaining three demon cultivators were scared silly. They hurriedly seized Shao Ci to use him as a shield and placed him in front of them, then pressed their swords against Shao Ci’s neck.
“You calm down! If you attack again your master will die!”
The body of a foundation stage cultivator was much weaker than cultivators at the golden core stage. For a golden core stage cultivator, as long as their golden core was still intact they still had a chance at surviving and cultivating to immortality. But for foundation stage cultivators, a fatal injury was enough for them to perish.
Qing Xuan looked conflicted, and he really did not dare to approach them.
When these demon cultivators saw that using Shao Ci’s life as a threat was useful, they sneered. “Humph, I actually thought that it was powerful, I didn’t expect that it would retreat so easily.”
Shao Ci knew that things couldn’t go on like this. Qing Xuan probably wouldn’t be able to hold onto his form for much longer… What should he do?
He abruptly remembered how useful his spiritual force had been in the previous world, immediately closed his eyes and like what he had done in the previous world, he used his willpower to condense his spiritual energy, sharpened it, and pierced it towards these people.
These people who were originally still contemplating what their next course of action should be suddenly felt a sharp pain in their mind. Instantly their bodies lost balance and they lost the strength to hold onto Shao Ci.
Shao Ci took the opportunity to escape while Qing Xuan directly lunged forward, clawing through the dantians of these demon cultivators with one hand. His move carried great strength, causing the demon core within their dantians to crack. They then collapsed onto the floor and breathed their last breath.
Even till death, they never expected that a foundation stage cultivator who was akin to a salted fish would have such a strong spiritual consciousness.
Qing Xuan then collapsed onto the floor as if he had lost all strength. His body also rapidly became smaller as he reverted back to his original size.
Shao Ci hastily ran over to Qing Xuan’s side and looked at him anxiously. “Are you alright?”
Only to find that the other party’s life force was pitifully weak. Shao Ci promptly held onto Qing Xuan’s hand and continuously transmitted his healing ability into his body.
However, his invincible healing ability turned out to be pretty much useless.
Qing Xuan’s golden eyes were filled with sorrow as he looked at Shao Ci. He then painstakingly sat up, kissed Shao Ci’s face before closing his eyes and passed out in Shao Ci’s arms.
Shao Ci’s heart tightened as he hurriedly kept transmitting his healing ability over.
But all his efforts seemed to be in vain as Qing Xuan very quickly stopped breathing and his body gradually became cold.
Shao Ci hugged his body and was speechless for a very long time.
Soon after, Qing Xuan’s body that was in his arms started glowing, and he turned back into an egg. The egg looked exactly the same as it had been before, except that it was one size smaller.
“This is……?” Shao Ci looked at the egg in front of him, dumbfounded.
[Some ancient dragons will turn back into an egg when they encounter grave danger, and have yet to completely lose their vitality. His body was originally unable to support the forbidden technique he had used just now. But because the host kept continuously transmitting healing powers over, he was able to successfully turn back into an egg. Except it’s going to take a very long time before he can hatch.]
“So it’s like this, that’s great.” Shao Ci heaved a sigh of relief.
It’s good as long as he didn’t die for real.
However, Shao Ci couldn’t help but think, Qing Xuan should have been an extremely powerful dragon in the past, what on earth caused him to turn into an egg……
Shao Ci then placed the egg that had shrunken quite a lot into his space. As he was about to leave, the corpse of the demon cultivator on the floor actually struggled for a bit, before opening his eyes.
He sneered as he looked towards Shao Ci’s back. Fortunately the technique he practiced was able to move the location of his demon core, hence he usually hid his demon core in his chest……If not, he would have died just now. But now, there’s no longer anyone who can harm him.
Plus, he still needed to avenge his comrades.
The demon cultivator’s eyes turned cold, as he immediately launched an attack at Shao Ci who had his back turned.
The moment his attack was about to pierce Shao Ci, a flashing light came from Shao Ci’s body and a strong force directly bounced the demon cultivator back.
Before the demon cultivator could even react to what had happened, a sword pierced him from behind, shattering his demon core.
The demon cultivator was shocked as he turned his head around, and vaguely saw a man with silver hair and blue eyes as he unwillingly breathed his last breath.
Such a huge commotion was impossible to go unnoticed by Shao Ci. After turning around, he stared blankly at Ling WangChen, and for the first time, felt very amiable towards him.
The next moment, Shao Ci felt like he had completely lost all his strength. He was unable to hold on anymore and was about to collapse onto the floor.
Ling WangChen immediately went to support Shao Ci, then examined him from head to toe. “I’m sorry for being late. I’ve caused you to suffer these past few days.”
His eyes were cold, clearly dissatisfied with Jin Kun for proposing to use the teleportation array.
“Actually, it’s been alright…” Shao Ci then proceeded to explain everything that had happened to him.
Upon hearing what had happened, he immediately said, “This time people from the dragon clan have come here as well. When we enter the second floor we can entrust the egg to them.”
He just needed to think about it to know that this person would occupy most of Shao Ci’s attention in the future. So it was better to just send him away.
“En.” Shao Ci nodded his head. It wasn’t suitable for Qing Xuan to stay with him anyways, the dragon clan should be able to better take care of him.
The next moment, Shao Ci suddenly felt the spot on his back where the puppet curse was placed turn hot and his facial expression immediately became ugly.
Seeing this, Ling WangChen spoke. “I have already obtained the dragon scale. All that’s left is for us to find a secluded place and I’ll be able to completely remove the spell on you.”
The two went back to the cave.
Thereafter, Shao Ci removed his clothes and lay weakly on them. Though he had to endure the waves of sharp pain coming from his back, he felt relieved.
Ling WangChen crushed the dragon scales into powder, dipped his finger into it, then traced the patterns of the formation on Shao Ci’s back.
Traces of the original formation disappeared as they were replaced by a new formation.
Ling WangChen naturally wouldn’t directly remove the spell completely, as that was the very thing that was supporting Shao Ci’s body. Without it, Shao Ci would immediately revert back into a corpse.
What he did was cover the spell.
As long as he did that, from this day onwards, the person in Shao Ci’s heart would be him… and it doesn’t matter what method he used to achieve it.
Thinking of this caused Ling WangChen’s ears to turn red.
When it all ended, Shao Ci was so tired to the point where he immediately fell asleep.
Ling WangChen picked him up lovingly, lowered his head and lightly kissed his forehead before walking out.
The most important task was done and the first floor was no longer worth staying in. It was time to move on to the second floor.
Jin Kun, on the other hand, was guarding the position where the teleportation formation was. Seeing the two approach, he immediately kneeled down with a terrified look on his face. “Because so much time had passed, this servant forgot about the details regarding the teleportation formation. Your lordship, please punish me.”
Ling WangChen looked at him coldly and said, “This better not happen again.”
Jin Kun’s face turned pale and he directly spat out a mouthful of blood. He then breathed a sigh of relief. This was just an ordinary internal injury, and the matter was over.
For the second teleportation array, Jin Kun had to check multiple times to ensure that there wouldn’t be any problems. If something similar happened again, he could just die directly.
These few people then started their teleportation.
The moment they entered the second floor, Shao Ci woke up and was stunned.
Even though he already knew from early on that a lot of cultivators would gather at this place, it was spectacular to look at. The place didn’t look like a secret realm at all.
The second layer was surrounded by mountain walls, as if it were in a huge cave. A bright moon hung in the air. It was unclear if it was a formation or a magic treasure.
Some of the buildings here were renovated from the original ruins, while others were built later on. In short, this place formed to become a very lively area.
There were many shops and stalls as far as the eye could see. Several people inside wore hats to hide their identities, while others just stood there magnanimously.
This was the first time Shao Ci had ever seen people from the demon clan in his life. The appearance of demons looked similar to humans, except that they still had some physical characteristics of demon beasts.
When they encountered cultivators from the human race, their gazes were unfriendly. But in the end, there wasn’t much friction.
All sorts of things were for sale. Some could be bought with spiritual stones, while others could be exchanged with items. The place had formations which banned fighting within its premises; if anyone wanted to compete or take revenge, they could only do it in the surrounding open spaces.
At the end of the row of shops was a magnificent building which was where the auction took place.
No one knew who organised the auctions, but everyone knew how strong they were. Basically anyone who caused problems during the auction would have trouble walking out alive.
Ling WangChen brought Shao Ci to shop at these stores. Shao Ci wasn’t sure why he felt extraordinarily happy today while being together with Ling WangChen, but he thought that it was probably because he had been under too much stress the past few days.
However, Shao Ci had nothing he wanted to buy, and in the end, the three people went to a restaurant.
The food at the restaurant was very good, but the atmosphere was solemn. The surrounding daoist cultivators and demon cultivators would mock each other, nearly causing a fight.
Of course, Shao Ci did not care about such things, and ate his food with his head down.
“Have you guys heard?” A few cultivators from a nearby table said, “The sect ruins on the first floor where the jade slips were hidden had actually been opened by someone.”
“I’ve heard of it. After that happened several experts rushed over. I heard that there was a lot of competition going on and quite a few people died.”
“Hey, if only I had been there. Perhaps I would have gotten lucky and gotten a few spells.”
“Stop dreaming, you’d be lucky not to lose your life, much less get anything.”
“True, we also don’t know how strong the expert has to be to open the seal.”
While listening to these peoples’ discussion, Shao Ci secretly Looked at Ling WangChen who was in front of him, only to find that Ling WangChen was staring at him with a smile. Shao Ci immediately felt embarrassed for getting caught peeping and quickly lowered his head.
Jin Kun excitedly held a list, “Your lordship, this servant has managed to get a rough list of things that would appear in the auction.”
“Oh?” Ling WangChen took the list and casually glanced through it. His originally indifferent expression turned into surprise when he saw something. “There is unexpectedly a magic treasure like the ZiJin wood here.”
“What’s that?” Shao Ci looked over, confused.
Jin Kun hurriedly explained, “ZiJin wood is a kind of word. Even though it’s extremely rare, it’s not as good as polymorphic wood when used for forging, and it’s not as good as ShuoCao wood when used for alchemy. Hence, the price remains stagnant. It’s considered pretty useless… Does your lordship happen to know if it has any other uses?”
“En.” Ling WangChen casually nodded his head, but did not say it. “We will participate in the auction as well.”
This ZiJin wood, used to be extremely popular in ancient times amongst dual cultivators.
It’s function was to allow a pair of daoist companions to sense the location of each other anytime. If he had this, it would no longer take so long for him to find Shao Ci.
