Chapter 118: Ying Dragon Pattern

Yang Dongxiong pulled the entire dragon tendon open, cut it into several sections according to the shares, and distributed them to everyone, and also cut off part of the fish skin to wrap the dragon tendon, isolating the dragon-species Qi to avoid the fish going crazy.

Liang Qu put away his share of the dragon tendon and carefully wrapped it in fish skin.

I wonder what will be different after eating it?

Massive water-marsh essence, or some other unexpected surprise?

Yang Dongxiong looked at the huge remaining body, thought for a while, and said: "Lu Gang, you take the fish skin, make an inner armor for everyone, and the remaining fish skin will belong to you."

"I'll find an alchemist to look at the fish bones in a while to see if the inner marrow can be condensed into pills, and then we'll divide it."

"As for the dragon bone..."

The essence in the dragon bone was sucked dry by the Sturgeon King and transferred to the dragon tendon in its body.

The residual essence itself was very little, almost only the advantage of the material being good enough. Eating it is tasteless, and throwing it away is a pity.

Yang Dongxiong looked at Lu Gang, the only master refiner present.

Lu Gang pondered for a while: "The remaining essence is far from enough to make a spirit weapon. I'll use it to add to Junior Martial Brother Liang's long spear? As for the remaining bone material, I'll try to forge a few daggers and short swords."

Liang Qu gripped the Fubo, feeling happy in his heart.

The growth potential of a spirit weapon lies in this; as long as it is operated properly, other materials can be added without dismantling and re-refining.

Refining dragon bone essence, even if it's just a trace, is worth looking forward to, not to mention getting an inner armor.

A big harvest, truly a big harvest!

Yang Dongxiong nodded: "Thank you for your hard work."

Liang Qu also hurriedly said: "Thank you, Senior Martial Brother Lu!"

Lu Gang shook his head. Forging weapons was his second greatest hobby besides practicing martial arts, and he enjoyed it.

Being able to forge with dragon bone, a material that countless weapon forgers crave, couldn't be called hard work.

The fish skin too, such a large piece, although there were many wounds on it, they were all sharp weapon wounds, without large-scale damage. Making inner armor for the senior and junior martial brothers, the remaining material was a huge wealth.

"Good! After we go out, let's just say we killed an ordinary sturgeon monster. Don't talk about dragon tendons and dragon bones outside, understand?"

Just a sturgeon monster isn't a big deal, but dragon tendons and dragon bones—even a Entering Zhen Xiang Grandmaster would be moved, so it's no joke.

"Master, don't worry, we understand the principle of making a fortune in silence." Xu Zishuai grabbed Liang Qu's shoulder and laughed, "Little Nine, if there are such good things in the future, don't forget your senior martial brother. I'll be there whenever you call!"

Liang Qu laughed: "I'm just afraid that when you really find a true dragon, Senior Martial Brother Xu, you won't dare to go up."

"I won't dare? Even if you find a true dragon, I have to rush up and pry a scale off it, and we'll split it fifty-fifty!"

Sixth Senior Martial Brother Cao Rang laughed: "Senior Martial Brother Xu, your ability to brag has improved!"

Yu Dun shouted: "Alright, stop joking, come over and give a hand to move the fish. Xu Junior Martial Brother, you carry this section, don't drag it on the ground."

In the evening, the sunset glow was like fire.

The old farmer who had finished plowing the fields walked along the road, suddenly stumbled by the water buffalo behind him.

Turning his head to look, the big guy stopped in place, motionless, no matter how he shouted, it wouldn't move, and even retreated a few steps, pulling the old farmer to go back.

"Damn, you're acting up!"

The old farmer waved his whip to hit, and the water buffalo mooed.

A shadow shone overhead. The hand holding the whip froze in mid-air. The old farmer turned his head in a daze.

The sturgeon head poked out from the forest, lying across the road, a pair of dead fish eyes emitting a terrifying momentum.

The old farmer was so scared that his legs went soft and he fell to the ground: "Fish! The fish is on land!?"

"Don't be afraid, old fellow, it's dead!"

Xu Zishuai walked out of the forest carrying the big fish head, turned around, and showed the cross-section of the fish head.

The cross-section was flat, bloody, and you could see the muscles jumping inside. The old farmer rolled his eyes and fell backward. Lu Gang flashed over, supported the old farmer's back with his lower leg, and glared at Xu Zishuai.

Xu Zishuai smiled awkwardly.

Liang Qu started a commotion: "Senior Martial Brother Xu, you're doing bad things again! I saw it all."

He carried the six-meter-long big fish tail, trying hard not to let it drag on the ground, like an ant carrying food.

"Talking nonsense, I didn't do anything."

"Then why did he faint?"

"Yeah, wasn't it you who scared him?"

The senior and junior martial brothers, each carrying a piece of meat, walked out of the forest one after another, laughing and mocking.

"It's none of my business, none of my business!"

Yang Dongxiong rode his horse, holding a string of horses, shook his head helplessly, took out a small medicine bottle from his arms, and threw it to Lu Gang.

Lu Gang held the meat section with one hand, took the bottle with the other, supported the bottom of the bottle with his palm, twisted the cap open with two fingers, and reached out to shake it under the old farmer's nose. The old farmer's eyelids twitched.

"Let's go, he'll wake up in a few breaths, don't go and stimulate him anymore."

Yang Dongxiong waved his horse whip, and the others followed closely.

After the old farmer slowly opened his eyes, there was only an old cow lying beside him. He scratched his head.

"Strange, why did I lie down?"

One person seeing a bloody big fish head would be afraid, but a group of people seeing it became a lively scene.

Liang Qu carried the big fish and swaggered through the street. The people he met all called their friends, wishing they could let everyone they knew come to see the novelty.

Many new martial artists were also secretly shocked.

That big fish had been dead for a long time and still emitted a strong momentum. This local snake Yang Dongxiong was really extraordinary.

However, water beasts are always hard to catch. I wonder where it came from?

The news that Yang's Martial Arts Gym caught a monster fish quickly spread throughout Pingyang County, and even spread more and more outrageously, with some even saying they fished up the Dragon King, and it was for eliminating a great harm for Pingyang County.

Poor Sturgeon Monster, it never showed its head since it was young, and now it still has to be labeled a "harm."

It couldn't be said to be completely wrong either.

If the Sturgeon King had completely absorbed the dragon bone essence, it would inevitably have returned to the Jianghuai marshes along the Over-Dragon River, the dragon returning to the sea.

At that time, passing through Pingyang County, the casualties would not be small.

Liang Qu could be considered to have indirectly saved many people's lives.

Late at night, only a huge white bone remained in the courtyard. The most delicious fish belly, loin, and meat attached to the bone had all been hidden in the ice cellar for easy access.

For the remaining spirit monster corpses, including the parts of the Sturgeon King that couldn't be eaten, Yang Dongxiong originally intended to sell them to merchant firms, but Xu proposed another distribution method.

She divided the remaining fish meat into three parts.

One part was sold to merchant firms, and the silver money obtained was divided.

One part was marked with a price and provided to the gym apprentices, increasing the gym's attraction and indirectly expanding influence rapidly.

The last part was made into meat porridge and given to the disaster victims.

"Many disaster victims have been jolted all the way, and after coming here, they have constant minor illnesses, and they can't afford to see a doctor, so they can only drag it out. In the final analysis, their bodies are not strong enough. You make this big fish into meat porridge, have a bowl, and I guarantee any illness will be cured.

It's not like the old days. You opened a martial arts gym in Pingyang Town for twenty years before, and everyone was convinced and did what you said. Now the population has multiplied, and those who believe in you have become a small part. You can't just watch.

A bowl of porridge with a few shreds of meat doesn't cost much, but I guarantee they will remember your kindness for a lifetime."

Yang Dongxiong immediately agreed.

The disaster victims who flowed in were not ordinary disaster victims; accurately speaking, they were "refugees" who were too scared to live in their original places. They were all physically sound, "high-value" people who could run and jump, a piece of good fat meat.

Whoever bites first will get the most oil.

Learned another trick.

Liang Qu recorded it in his small notebook, deeply feeling his master's wife's wisdom; she was worthy of being the eldest daughter of the Xu family in Huangzhou.

Having mixed in Yixing Town for so long, he knew best the role of popular support. Many times, there are unexpected gains, and even the government has to be wary when they want to move you.

Yang Dongxiong ordered the servants to take the meat, give the porridge tomorrow morning, and then looked at everyone: "Do you want to stay here and eat sturgeon meat, or refine the dragon tendon first?"

"Refine the dragon tendon!"

"Hehe, Master, I'm just waiting to refine the dragon tendon. The sturgeon meat is in the ice cellar, no rush."

Sturgeon meat is good, but it can't compare to the temptation of dragon tendon. Everyone didn't hesitate and all chose to refine the dragon tendon first.

"Hahaha, you guys... alright, go quickly. If you want to go back and refine, go back. If you want to use the quiet room here, it's all yours. Remember, dragon tendon is best eaten raw; don't go back and boil it."

Liang Qu left the Fubo to Senior Martial Brother Lu for addition, and asked for an extra pile of Sturgeon King meat, preparing to take it back to feed the four cubs at home, then took all today's harvest and rode the Chishan back to Yixing Town.

After three months of construction, the main body of his new house was finally built. He didn't need to sponge off the gym room anymore. For the sake of privacy, he naturally had to go back to his new home to refine it.

The attraction of dragon tendon to water beasts was too strong; absorption on the water wouldn't work, and it was easy to have accidents.

In the quiet room specially built by the craftsman, Liang Qu lit a candle, untied the fish skin, and the wrist-thick dragon tendon glowed with golden light under the candlelight, which was extremely moving.

"Dragon tendon that prolongs life, waiting for this bite is really not easy."

Liang Qu grabbed the tendon head and took a bite. There was no taste at all, it was extremely difficult to chew, and the texture was very greasy, like biting a piece of oily rubber. ===== CHAPTER 119 =====

Liang Qu grabbed a piece of the tendon and took a bite. It had no flavor at all and was extremely difficult to chew, with a very fatty texture, like biting into a piece of oily rubber.
