Chapter 281: The mighty effect of Dragon Blood Rice—everyone covets it but cannot eat it

After harvesting the Dragon Blood Rice, it is still moist and needs to be dried.

This step requires careful heat control; the best is to sun-dry. Chen Chuyang took some and directly dried them with heat, leaving the rest for others to sun-dry, since they had nothing else to do. After being transported to their living place, there is a spot where they can sun-dry, where the sun shines directly and is not blocked by mist.

Chen Chuyang did this on purpose so they could experience the whole process, from planting to sun-drying; each step must be personally undergone to know. Thereafter, the planting work will be handed over to those few people, with no need for Chen Chuyang to do it himself.

The drying work went quickly. Chen Chuyang peeled open a Dragon Blood Rice grain, put it in his mouth, tried its taste and effect. The raw Dragon Blood Rice was chewed directly, and he carefully savored its flavor, which carried a faint fragrance.

The effect of Dragon Blood Rice is strong, boosting blood and vigor. Just one grain surpasses the Hundred Herbs Pill, greatly enhancing the physique—many times better than the Hundred Herbs Pill. Chen Chuyang's flesh and blood received a slight increase, not much, yet it shocked him.

"My physique increased a little, better than I expected, with no side effects. Moreover, it can be eaten continuously; long-term consumption yields the same effect, far superior to Dragon Tooth Rice. These Dragon Blood Rice are not suitable for them to eat."

Keep a batch of this Dragon Blood Rice seed for planting, increase the planted area; the reclaimed Spirit Fields are ample. This time we will plant a batch of Dragon Blood Rice and Dragon Tooth Rice; the Dragon Tooth Rice harvest will be large, so we can eat freely.

"There are many people on Longshe Shan, and they need a lot of Dragon Tooth Rice; what we previously set aside is now almost gone."

Chen Chuyang checked the previously stored Dragon Tooth Rice; there wasn't much left, only what had been saved by being frugal. If they really started eating freely, it would be gone in less than three months. Their appetites are too big; having adapted to the enhancements from Dragon Tooth Rice, each person's physique has improved, and thus their need for Dragon Tooth Rice will increase.

"Give me a bit, kid."

The impatient black goat demanded Dragon Blood Rice.

That smell made it feel terrible; it wanted to eat but couldn't.

Chen Chuyang directly threw a handful to it; the black goat chewed big mouthfuls, and even raw, it ate with relish.

Chen Chuyang ate a handful, savoring it carefully; the man and the goat exchanged a glance.

"Kid, this Dragon Blood Rice's effect is strong—no wonder, as it has been thoroughly activated by swallowing the blood of the Wild Dragon Snake."

"The effect of Dragon Tooth Rice is comparatively weak; the maturation of Dragon Blood Rice is inseparable from the Wild Dragon Snake's blood."

"This Dragon Blood Rice's effect is too powerful; they are not suited to eat it—at least before forming the Golden Core."

The black goat reminded, "Dragon Blood Rice is too precious; others can't get any."

"Even if they ate it, they couldn't digest it; that dragon blood would make their bodies explode."

"They just need to eat Dragon Tooth Rice; when their cultivation rises someday, they can try Dragon Blood Rice."

"Then again, that little girl could give it a try."

"The little girl the black goat meant is Shang Hongxue; her Cultivation physique is special, surpassing an ordinary body in every way."

Shang Hongxue walked over, staring at the Dragon Blood Rice in Chen Chuyang's palm, saliva flowing out.

That smell made her unable to control herself.

"Here, eat one grain; don't eat too much, just try the effect."

Chen Chuyang worried, yet still handed her a grain of Dragon Blood Rice.

"Thank you, Brother Chuyang."

Shang Hongxue immediately stuffed it into her mouth, chewed, chewed slowly, and savored the flavor of the Dragon Blood Rice.

Soon after, her body turned red.

The effect of the Dragon Blood Rice erupted, beginning to rush through her body.

Her flesh, meridians, and even her internal organs all changed.

Her whole body turned red, as if she could not absorb it.

Chen Chuyang pointed a finger, and Shang Hongxue immediately sprang into action, drawing her sword and dancing in the wind.

The Azure Sparrow Sword Technique was displayed, speeding up digestion.

"Indeed, it still isn't enough; the Dragon Blood Rice's effect is too strong—especially since it has been infused with the Wild Dragon Snake's blood, making its effect even more formidable than ordinary Dragon Blood Rice."

"This girl's physique is still too weak, kid, be careful."

The black goat reminded, "I overestimated Shang Hongxue."

"The Cultivation physique is indeed good, though its digestive ability is a bit lacking; however, it is not unable to absorb."

"Normal Dragon Blood Rice can be absorbed, but this enhanced version is not so easy to absorb."

"The Wild Dragon Snake's rank is too high; its blood is naturally also high-grade."

"The grade of that Dragon Blood Rice is not low; besides the Wild Dragon Snake's blood, it seems to harbor another kind of aura."

The black goat stared at Shang Hongxue, watching with interest.

Chen Chuyang stood aside, watching.

Half an hour passed.

Shang Hongxue was exhausted; her whole body still red, sweat drenched, she had digested part of the Dragon Blood Rice's energy, most of it remaining inside her body, she could barely endure it and stopped.

Shang Hongxue was exhausted, the red all over her body had not yet faded; she, drenched in sweat, had digested part of the Dragon Blood Rice's energy, most of it remained in her body; she could barely endure it, so she stopped.

"I'm dying of heat."

Shang Hongxue jumped straight into the fish pond, using the spirit spring water to ease that feeling.

The black goat said, "Dragon Blood Rice's effect is strong; after merging with the Wild Dragon Snake's blood, it becomes even stronger. Shang Hongxue, this girl, wanting to fully absorb it, is difficult."

"This Dragon Blood Rice suits us, not those with low cultivation."

Chen Chuyang nodded and said to the others, "No need to look; you aren't qualified to eat Dragon Blood Rice."

Upon hearing that, the others all lowered their heads.

Chen Qinger looked at Shang Hongxue, then at the Dragon Blood Rice being aired; there wasn't much, far less than the Dragon Tooth Rice.

After the Dragon Tooth Rice was expanded again, the harvest was huge, covering the ground, too much to store.

"Dragon Blood Rice—its effect is strong; I cannot digest it."

"Eaten, it cannot be digested; the discomfort is my own."

Seeing Shang Hongxue's condition, she knew she was not blessed to consume this rice.

Shang Yue was a little worried; he had previously thought about trying it, and even if Chen Chuyang didn't let him try, he would sneak a taste.

Shang Yue was a little worried; he had previously thought about trying it, and even if Chen Chuyang didn't let him try, he would sneak a taste.

Now it's fine, that thought is gone.

It turned out Chen Chuyang wasn't refusing to let them try; they simply weren't qualified.

"Dragon Blood Rice, truly extraordinary—too bad I can't eat it."

That's a pity.

After waiting so long, we finally saw the Dragon Blood Rice mature.

Chen Chusheng comforted him: "Don't think too much, cultivate well; once your strength increases, you'll naturally be able to eat Dragon Blood Rice."

Thinking that much is useless; who let them be so weak?

All they can do is raise their cultivation; when the time comes, they'll naturally be able to try the taste of Dragon Blood Rice.

Those Dragon Blood Rice are not meant for them.

On Longshe Shan, only Chen Chuyang and the Heishanyang can try; as for that batch of Dragon Blood Rice, they can forget about it.

"Dragon Tooth Rice isn't bad either; with so much Dragon Tooth Rice, we can eat our fill this time."

Shang Yue thought of this and couldn't help but grin, showing his teeth.

That big white tooth, plus that clever smile, makes people want to laugh.
