Chapter 1210: Cultivating Demonic Arts
"Can I have the tendons of that evil dragon? I'll take them away and won't cause you any trouble. As repayment, how about I make you three sets of bows?" Ye Liuyun asked Tai Yong.
Tai Yong couldn't decide, so he ran to ask the village chief. After the village chief agreed, he then went to extract the evil dragon's tendons, had Ye Liuyun store them in the basement, and told him not to take them out.
To prevent the evil dragon from catching their scent and attacking their village.
"Do evil dragons often come to attack you?" Ye Liuyun asked curiously.
"They don't dare directly attack the village; at most they snatch a few scattered people outside! If they come, we all fight them together, so they gain nothing. After a few times, they learned and stopped coming!" Tai Yong replied.
"Hasn't even the largest evil dragon ever come?" Ye Liuyun asked further.
"It probably thinks it's beneath it to come! We're not even enough to stuff between its teeth! The wild beasts on that mountain peak are all its food." Tai Yong pointed to the farthest highest peak and told Ye Liuyun.
After obtaining the dragon tendons, Ye Liuyun also made three sets of bows for the awakened people.
Then he waited for the evil dragon to appear while teaching them iron-smelting methods.
The giants followed Ye Liuyun's guidance, built a furnace with stones, then step by step learned and also forged weapons.
Although the forged iron tools contained many impurities, they were still much sturdier and more durable than stone weapons.
The villagers, to thank Ye Liuyun, also gave them plenty of evil dragon meat.
Food is the best gift they offer to guests.
And the amount of food Ye Liuyun and his few companions eat seems pitifully little in their eyes.
Ye Liuyun also wandered around nearby when he had nothing to do, but he didn't find any useful resources.
Although everything here is huge, nothing can be converted into the resources he needs.
Ye Liuyun had also privately asked Tai Yong why many ferocious beasts fear demonic qi.
Tai Yong didn't know what demonic qi was, but when Ye Liuyun demonstrated it to him, it also startled him.
"You call this demonic qi?" Tai Yong exclaimed in surprise.
"How so? Have you ever seen something like this?" Ye Liuyun countered.
"The poisonous smoke that those evil dragons spit out is exactly this!" Tai Yong confirmed.
Ye Liuyun immediately went to confirm with the village chief, verifying that the evil dragons' exhaled substance was indeed demonic qi.
"Huh, strange!"
Ye Liuyun felt that there was no trace of demonic qi inside the evil dragons' bodies or their elixir fields.
"The poisonous smoke has all dissipated!" Tai Yong explained to Ye Liuyun.
"So it actually has demonic qi inside its body and elixir field?" Ye Liuyun confirmed.
"Yes!" The village chief and Tai Yong affirmed in unison.
"That means their demonic qi is acquired through later cultivation, not innate!"
Lei Ming and Ice Demon both explained to Ye Liuyun: "Innate demonic beasts' demonic qi does not dissipate!"
"In other words, those evil dragons cultivate demonic arts?" Ye Liuyun asked.
"Quite possible!" Lei Ming replied.
"Haha, if that's the case, then the Nine Nether Prelude would actually come in handy!"
Ye Liuyun felt a surge of joy in his heart.
He now hopes for an evil dragon to appear so he can test whether the Nine Nether Prelude is effective.
Meanwhile, his clone began expanding the Space World to make room for storing those evil dragons.
Ye Liuyun waited over ten days before finally getting his wish and seeing an evil dragon come out to forage.
However, that evil dragon did not fly toward the village; instead, it flew off in another direction.
"Chase!"
Ye Liuyun, to reduce his target, recalled Lei Ming and Ice Demon into the Space World, donned the Invisibility Cloak, and pursued the evil dragon.
But the evil dragon's speed was much greater than his.
Even if he flew at full speed, he fell far behind.
Fortunately he had the Invisibility Cloak; otherwise, he would have been attacked by birds along the way.
Ye Liuyun's Divine Sense locked onto that evil dragon from afar.
That evil dragon's cultivation level was actually the Yin-Yang Realm.
Moreover, Ye Liuyun was certain that these evil dragons indeed cultivated demonic arts; he also didn't know how they obtained this demonic art.
Thus, taking advantage of the evil dragon's attack on a big bear, he played the Nine Nether Prelude against it to see the effect.
The evil dragon first staggered, pressing the big bear under its claws and looking around.
But after looking for a while, it still didn't find Ye Liuyun; however, the effect of the Nine Nether Prelude on it kept growing.
Finally, it gradually lowered its body, heading toward the direction where Ye Liuyun was hidden.
Because the evil dragon's body was enormous, Ye Liuyun also expended a lot of Divine Soul Power before finally using the Nine Nether Prelude to completely subdue it.
To be safe, Ye Liuyun also implanted a Slave Seal on it before letting it go.
That way, whatever information that evil dragon perceives will naturally be transmitted to Ye Liuyun.
"This went incredibly smoothly!"
After the evil dragon flew off clutching the big bear, Ye Liuyun almost shouted out in excitement.
He hadn't expected that a task difficult for others would be so simple for him.
"I really am fortunate, just happening to be able to counter these evil dragons!"
However, just as he was feeling proud, several flying sky bats swooped toward him.
Ye Liuyun silently cursed "oh no," immediately dropping into the forest below to conceal himself.
However, under the sound-wave detection of those few flying sky bats, he had nowhere to hide.
Thus, Ye Liuyun had a sudden inspiration, released demonic qi, and wrapped himself in it.
Those sky-flying bats, upon seeing the demon qi, immediately turned and fled, not daring to attack Ye Liuyun again.
It seems the demon qi is quite useful here!
While Ye Liuyun felt moved, he also wondered how those evil dragons could cultivate demonic arts.
Ye Liuyun did not dare linger outside; he immediately returned to the village, awaiting the evil dragon's message transmission.
After that evil dragon flew back to the highest peak, it first found a place without ferocious beasts, ate the big bear clean, then went to the spring to drink its fill, before flying toward the mountaintop.
At the mountaintop, Ye Liuyun, through the synchronized message, saw the indicated evil dragon. These evil dragons, the highest among them, are at the Yin-Yang Realm.
The largest evil dragon does not dwell together with them.
The evil dragon subdued by Ye Liuyun looked toward a huge cave, indicating to Ye Liuyun that the largest evil dragon resides inside the cave.
Ye Liuyun let it rest first, waiting for the largest evil dragon to emerge, while it summons Liu Yu.
He now has a method to tame evil dragons, so he naturally won't rush into a direct clash with the largest evil dragon.
He wants first to see just how powerful the largest evil dragon is, then think of a way to tame it.
Thus waiting like this, another half month passed.
During this half month, Ye Liuyun had nothing to do; each day he went out hunting, and the people and monster beasts inside the Space World also came out to experience this environment.
