Chapter 58: Alchemical Equipment, Magic Scrolls, Mutant Rice Seed

Speaking, the full set of white armor with a crack flew toward Sai Jia.

Even though his mental power wasn't considered strong, Sai Jia still 'saw' the white armor's unhidden, continuously emanating powerful spiritual light.

Sai Jia eagerly opened his dragon mouth and swallowed the white armor.

The white armor, whose previous owner's mark had been erased, was quickly refined by Sai Jia.

Sai Jia also received the information transmitted by this equipment, then widened his dragon eyes and looked toward the dragon mother in some shock.

【Platinum Armor】（Seventh Rank Alchemical Armor{Damaged}）

【Ability 1】: Self-Adapting Armament 【Ability 2】: Intermediate Magic Resistance

【Ability 3】: Intermediate Physical Resistance-"This Platinum Armor is a relic of an Eighth Rank human powerhouse; although somewhat damaged, its effectiveness is greatly reduced, yet it remains a quite rare and powerful piece of alchemical equipment, sufficient for you to use until adulthood."

The specialness of alchemical equipment compared to magical equipment lies in that most alchemical equipment has no rank usage requirements; Ninth Rank beings can use it, First Rank can also use it, merely differing in the strength of the effect.

Magical equipment is different; many powerful magical items have very stringent usage conditions.

As for why alchemical equipment is far rarer than magical equipment, it is naturally due to the scarcity of alchemists and the loss of most alchemical secrets.

"Give it a try."

Under the dragon mother's encouragement, Sai Jia felt a stir in his heart.

The next moment, the Platinum Armor swallowed into its belly suddenly underwent an aberration—the armor melted into platinum liquid, permeating the dragon's body, forming a strange union.

The next moment, a layer of platinum-colored iron scales condensed on the surface of Sai Jia's black dragon scales, making the whole dragon look as if it were wearing a set of attached platinum dragon armor.

Sai Jia's appearance directly improved by leaps and bounds.

Lai Ang, watching from the side, felt somewhat envious.

Its physique is also strong, very suitable for this Platinum Armor, but Lai Ang merely thought that; he actually understood his mother's intention.

Sai Jia's personality is too rash; sooner or later he will endanger himself due to his own temperament.

Now possessing this powerful alchemical armor, he also has greater risk resistance, which suits his muscle-filled brain very well.

Charge ahead with a dull head, just get it done! His whole body is covered with the imposing platinum dragon armor.

Sai Jia feels completely secure at this moment.

It suddenly looked toward Lai Ang.

Lai Ang saw in its gaze an eagerness to try.

However, Lai Ang merely glanced at it; this somewhat overexcited guy instantly calmed down a bit, recalling his older brother's true strength.

The Platinum Armor is indeed powerful, but the armor's abilities are solely for defense.

Aside from making it super able to take hits, its overall strength hasn't seen a huge increase.

"Ai Di, these three magic scrolls are for you." Xi Er Wa Na Si directed her gaze toward her second-born child.

No matter from which aspect, Ai Di is merely an ordinary black dragon hatchling.

Except that his brain seems a bit more agile and intelligent.

Ai Di gazed longingly as the three magic scrolls flew to his front.

"The blue scroll is the Sixth Circle spell 'Water Bulwark'—after use it can block attacks from below Seventh Rank.

"The white scroll is the Fifth Circle spell 'Random Teleport'—after use it can teleport you to a random location within one hundred to one thousand kilometers.

"The black scroll is the Sixth Circle spell 'Summon Dark Elemental Giant'—after use it can summon a Sixth Rank Dark Elemental Giant from the elemental realm across worlds."

Finally, Xi Er Wa Na Si looked toward her eldest son.

The large sword floating in midair and the blue seed the size of a fist flew toward him.

Lai Ang swallowed the great sword, instantly imprinted it, and obtained the sword's information.

【Platinum Sword】（Seventh Rank Alchemical Weapon）【Ability 1】: Condense Battle Qi 【Ability 2】: Superior Anti-Magic Effect a Seventh Rank Alchemical Weapon! "This Platinum Sword and the Platinum Armor just now form a complete alchemical set, undamaged; not only can it amplify battle qi's might, but it also possesses considerable anti-magic effect, making it suitable for you."

Xi Er Wa Na Si obviously knew that Lai Ang had reached Fourth Rank in battle qi.

"Indeed it suits me well, thank you, mother."

Blackwater battle qi surged into the body's Platinum Sword, activating the weapon's effect.

In a moment, Lai Ang's liquefied Fourth Rank Blackwater Battle Qi became viscous, its might more than doubled compared to before; moreover, Lai Ang clearly sensed that his battle qi had been endowed with a certain trait.

An extremely powerful anti-magic trait.

However, soon Lai Ang also discovered that after activating the Platinum Sword's effect, the blackwater battle qi within his body was being consumed at an extremely rapid rate.

Lai Ang had to actively weaken the Platinum Sword's amplification effect considerably.

When the battle qi amplification was roughly around thirty percent, Lai Ang realized that with his battle qi amount, this level of enhancement could sustain a fairly enduring battle.

Lai Ang withdrew his delighted feeling and looked at the fist-sized blue seed.

"This is a mutant rice seed I happened to obtain outside; since you plan to go out and become lords, this should be a fine gift." Xi Er Wa Na Si said.

This mutant rice seed is clearly not specially for Lai Ang, but for their territory's use.

Lai Ang carefully swallowed the mutant rice seed, storing it in an isolated storage pouch within his belly.

The three little dragons chatted briefly with the dragon mother again, then were driven away by her.

The massive black dragon dove back into the black lake, splashing large amounts of water; the black lake quickly returned to calm.

Lai Ang and his two brothers exchanged glances, each able to see the lingering joy in the other's dragon eyes.

"Indeed, following the elder brother is not wrong." Ai Di thought to himself.

"Coming to visit mother is just to pilfer her treasures." Ai Di pondered, thinking he perhaps ought to learn well from his elder brother.

Sai Jia had no such thoughts; he only knew he had become super resistant to blows.

However, activating the Platinum Armor consumes too much energy; Sai Jia lacks the power to activate its full effect, so he can only suitably activate part of its defensive capability to exchange for longer usage time.

But this is enough to let it, for a certain time, fearlessly withstand Fourth Rank attacks, and even Fifth Rank strikes landing on it will be greatly reduced.

The three little dragons left the Emerald Dream, satisfied.

Black Dragon Fortress.

Lai Ang and them's re-return caused a slight commotion inside Dragon Fort, but it soon calmed down.

Inside the leader's luxurious dragon nest chamber.

Lai Ang began cultivating Black Water Battle Qi.

The monster flesh just swallowed was quickly digested, turning into pure energy to supply the consumption of battle qi cultivation.

Under wholehearted cultivation of Black Water Battle Qi, the proficiency of battle qi rose steadily.

As long as no bottleneck is encountered.

However, if a bottleneck is encountered, it's also simple: just put the Black Water Battle Qi into the idle slot, and the bottleneck is easily broken through.

When cultivating Black Water Battle Qi tires, one cultivates the Black Dragon Contemplation method.

Occasionally, Lai Ang will also find time to practice and study auxiliary spells, such as the Mage's Eye. Having now reached the proficiency of a Third Rank spellcaster, studying this First Rank spell is much more efficient than before, and not so headache-inducing.

Three months later.

Having obtained dragon vein power, the black-furred jackal man 'Hog' has already broken through to Fourth Rank; following the master's earlier order, he returned from Fish Spirit Swamp to the Emerald Academy, then took that mutant rice seed from Lai Ang's hand.

And in Lai Ang's name, he took a batch of monster students from the academy and returned to Fish Spirit Swamp.
