Chapter 2223 - 2223: True Dragon Golden Statue

The rest of the people left the Nine Palaces Ancient Land before Qin Chen and Lin Songyun.

So when Qin Chen emerged from the Nine Palaces Ancient Land, he headed towards the only Daoist Medicine Palace that hadn't been opened.

With a sense of anticipation.

Qin Chen inserted the key into the keyhole, opening the twenty-meter-high door of the Daoist Medicine Palace.

"Crack, crack—"

It seemed it hadn't been opened for a long time.

When the palace doors swung open, they emitted a sound of friction, while a refreshing fragrance wafted out from within.

Both Qin Chen and Lin Songyun took a deep breath.

Lin Songyun immediately felt her strength recover somewhat.

Qin Chen entered the Daoist Medicine Palace, quickly closed the palace doors behind him before he had a chance to look around.

He was wary of someone taking advantage and sneaking in to steal the Daoist medicines.

The Daoist Medicine Palace was unlit, yet not at all dark, as numerous Daoist medicines radiated translucent glows, dispelling the darkness.

Qin Chen and Lin Songyun stood at the doorway, eyes fixed on the rich array of Daoist medicines before them, slightly trembling inside.

Inside the Daoist Medicine Palace lay a 'Dao Field.'

In the Dao Field, at least five hundred Daoist medicines were planted!

The majority of them were first-grade and second-grade Daoist medicines.

But third-grade and fourth-grade Daoist medicines were plentiful too.

With a glance, Qin Chen quickly estimated.

There were over eighty fourth-grade Daoist medicines.

Yes!

Like the Spiritual Sun Marrow Liquid Fruit, those fourth-grade Daoist medicines.

Yet here in this Daoist Medicine Palace were over eighty of them!

There were around fifty fifth-grade Daoist medicines too.

All comparable in level to Eight-Colored Water Lotuses.

More advanced sixth-grade Daoist medicines were not seen by Qin Chen.

But Qin Chen was already exceptionally content.

So many Daoist medicines! Enough for Qin Chen and Lin Songyun to use for quite some time.

"Let's each collect some Daoist medicines," Qin Chen said.

The attributes of Daoist medicines vary, enhancing different martial artists differently.

Of course, Qin Chen was an exception.

He possessed the powerful God Devouring Enlightenment Technique, allowing him to perfectly refine any Daoist medicine.

Lin Songyun also showed no reservation.

The dangers encountered within the Nine Palaces Ancient Land deepened her understanding of her own inadequacies; she needed to grow stronger.

She had inherited the Five Elements Demon legacy, gathering the Five Elements attributed Daoist medicines present, yet a large portion still remained.

Qin Chen released his telekinesis, permeating beneath this Dao Field.

"What are you doing?"

Lin Songyun looked at Qin Chen in surprise.

"Rise,"

Qin Chen lightly called out.

Instantly, the entire Dao Field was lifted by Qin Chen, then entirely moved into the God Devouring Crystal space.

The soil of this Dao Field, capable of growing so many Daoist medicines, was certainly not ordinary soil.

And Daoist medicines, the older they are, the more valuable they become.

Fortunately, Qin Chen moved the entire Dao Field into the God Devouring Crystal.

When needing Daoist medicines, he could simply pluck them as needed.

Moreover, in the future, any Daoist medicines Qin Chen obtained could be planted within the Dao Field.

"You sure cleaned it out," Lin Songyun remarked.

Qin Chen laughed and replied, "Isn't picking Daoist medicines quite time-consuming?"

Collecting Daoist medicines required caution, as careless damage would significantly diminish their efficacy.

"So many Daoist medicines; they will surely enhance my Ten Thousand Stars Kingdom."

Qin Chen mused.

The entire Dao Field was moved into the God Devouring Crystal by Qin Chen.

The entire Daoist Medicine Palace instantly became shrouded in darkness.

Yet it didn't affect Qin Chen's vision.

Little Fairy suddenly said, "Qin Chen, there's something strange in this Daoist Medicine Palace; move forward."

He was about to leave.

Upon hearing Little Fairy's message.

Qin Chen raised an eyebrow and said to Lin Songyun, "Wait for me a moment."

Lin Songyun was a bit puzzled but didn't inquire further.

Qin Chen immediately walked to the front of the Daoist Medicine Palace.

All around were walls; he hadn't observed them closely before, but now Qin Chen noticed each wall was adorned with various True Dragon designs and dragon patterns, exuding dominance.

At this moment, where Qin Chen stood was at the center of a gigantic True Dragon design, over fifty meters long, occupying nearly half of the wall's area.

"Is there something unusual?"

Qin Chen furrowed his brows, not sensing anything amiss.

Little Fairy said, "Try striking this True Dragon design forcefully."

Qin Chen hesitated briefly, but then without further questioning, harnessed his internal Elemental Power and fiercely punched forward.

The wall's material wasn't particularly special.

Under the force of a punch...

Logically, this section of the wall should either crumble or scatter apart.

Yet Qin Chen's punch created a large crater, behind which lay a hidden space.

Lin Songyun came over, astonished, "There's another layer of space within this palace?"

Qin Chen waved his hand, a gust of wind rising, instantly clearing away the stone fragments scattered on the ground.

What Qin Chen saw first...

Was a golden statue.

A True Dragon golden statue.

In contrast to the True Dragon designs on the walls, this golden statue was breathtakingly lifelike, extremely mystical, as if it were real.

And beneath the True Dragon golden statue lay numerous jades.

These jades contained an extraordinarily dense True Dragon Qi.

Qin Chen stepped inside, picked up one of the jades, slightly activated God Devouring Enlightenment Technique, and his eyes narrowed.

The jade contained True Dragon Blood Essence!

Of course, the content was very minimal, nearly insignificant, offering little assistance to Qin Chen.

Yet Qin Chen was greatly intrigued.

Why did so many True Dragon jades appear here, along with a True Dragon golden statue?

"Qin Chen, do you recall what the nine-headed flame dragon said about its master earlier?" Little Fairy asked.

Qin Chen raised an eyebrow and made a guess, "Are you suggesting the owner of this Nine Palaces is the True Dragon represented by this golden statue?"

He remembered what Wang Houyun told him before coming to the Han Ni Hills.

The legend said a True Dragon fell in the Han Ni Hills; Qin Chen had been hopeful to encounter the precious True Dragon Blood Essence.

It now seemed the legend was true.

The nine-headed flame dragon possessed an ancient relic bloodline and had formidable strength, being a 'Demon King,' yet it surrendered, suggesting its master was far superior.

True Dragon fits this existence perfectly.

While the nine-headed flame dragon simply possessed the bloodline of ancient relics, the True Dragon was an ancient relic itself.

Little Fairy proposed, "I guess this might be where others under the True Dragon resided, but after the True Dragon's fall, they left."

"Look, the True Dragon jades on the ground contain a potent True Dragon Qi and even trace amounts of True Dragon Blood Essence; surely, they are items of the True Dragon."

"Of course, besides that, there is another most precious item here, which surprisingly remains stored here for unknown reasons."

Qin Chen's curiosity piqued, "What is it?"
