Reborn as a Hatrack in the Mystical Land-Chapter 593 - 50: An Astonishing Secret

Inside the Imperial Hospital, Yue Minzhi was still soaking in the Elixir Furnace.

Compared to several days ago, Yue Minzhi’s complexion had improved significantly, restored from the gold-leaf color of poisoning to a normal skin tone.

The Elixir Liquid within the Elixir Furnace had also been replaced with Spiritual Liquid used to nourish the body and strengthen the muscles and bones.

Clad in plain clothes, Cheng Ying stood shoulder to shoulder with Yue Jinghua.

As the sands dwindled in the hourglass that kept track of time, both of their expressions shifted from initial ease to a grave solemnity.

"It’s nearly past midnight, why hasn’t he woken up yet?" According to Cheng Ying’s prediction, Yue Minzhi should have awakened by evening; the Hua Snake poison in his system had dissipated, and by all accounts, he should not remain unconscious.

"This shouldn’t be the case," Cheng Ying was equally puzzled, stepping forward to feel Yue Minzhi’s pulse.

But as soon as Cheng Ying touched his hand, she felt a burst of extraordinarily gentle and dark power emerge from within Yue Minzhi’s body, like a surge of dark force that jolted her hand away.

Looking into the Elixir Furnace, the previously tranquil nourishing Spiritual Liquid suddenly began to boil, and Yue Minzhi’s face violently contorted as if he was in extreme pain.

A patch of crow-black spread rapidly from the space between his eyebrows, spreading like ink in water.

With the continuous spread of the crow-black energy, Yue Minzhi’s body began to shake violently.

His teeth clamped together, making a clattering sound.

Looking inside Yue Minzhi’s Dantian, there was a burst of crow-black color.

The Dantian grew brighter and became transparent; the Hua Snake, which Cheng Ying had constrained with medical power, was thrashing with fangs and claws. Its body, once the size of a finger, was undergoing a transformation.

A horn grew on its forehead, and fine scales rapidly sprouted on its body, a sign that the Hua Snake was transforming into a Horned Snake.

Among Dark Beasts, snakes and dragons were close kin.

Hua snakes were merely Sixth Rank Profound Beasts, but breeders whispered, "Ten years a snake, fifty a Hua snake, a hundred a Horned Snake, and five hundred a dragon."

It was said that a Hua snake, after absorbing nature’s spiritual energy and encountering great fortune, could grow a horn, shed its form for that of a Horned Snake, and above Horned Snakes were dragons.

"Could it be that these past days, while using Elixir Pills to detoxify Yue Minzhi, the seemingly constrained Hua Snake has actually been secretly absorbing spiritual power, seizing the opportunity to advance?" Cheng Ying was startled by her own absurd thought, yet the reality before her eyes told her that the Hua Snake within Yue Minzhi had not perished; on the contrary, it was undergoing an internal ascension.

This was bad; it was imperative to stop the Hua Snake from transforming into a Horned Snake, otherwise, Yue Minzhi’s body, subjected to the backlash of the Horned Snake, would not stand a chance of survival.

Cheng Ying dared not delay; with a flick of her fingertips, several dozen needles, fine as hair, appeared on her hand, shining with a fluid light, having been condensed from Dark Energy.

Didn’t the outside world rumor that Cheng Ying couldn’t wield Dark Skill? How come?

Yue Jinghua was secretly shocked, but given the urgency of the situation, she couldn’t afford to ponder it further.

Watching Cheng Ying conjure Dark Needles in her hands, she performed a dance using the Seven Stars Accompanying Moon Steps, her plain clothes fluttering without wind, revolving around the Elixir Furnace like a white moth.

As the needles from her hand entered Yue Minzhi’s body, they followed his muscle and bone pathways, quickly targeting several vital acupoints on his body.

With a few "swish" sounds, Yue Jinghua clearly saw the needles, upon entering the Hua Snake that had already grown a horn, cleanly severing it into pieces.

What formidable skill with Dark Needles! With just a few needles, she directly killed a Horned Snake advancing to Seventh Rank. How skillful Cheng Ying’s needle technique was, but one wonders to what realm her Dark Skill cultivation has reached?

Yue Jinghua initially believed that within the "official wickedness era" of the Imperial City, Cheng Ying was the least of her concerns. However, seeing Cheng Ying tonight, not only was she exceptionally calm, but her Dark Skill was also profound. Merely observing this display of needle technique, she feared that Cheng Ying’s cultivation was no weaker than Long Jiuzun.

Moreover, Cheng Ying was also adept in the Qi Huang Skill, making it unclear whether she was a friend or foe at the moment.

After successfully administering a few needles, Cheng Ying’s expression relaxed slightly. However, she soon felt a sense of dizziness come over her, her body tilting slightly, only to feel a pair of hands firmly supporting her from behind.

Turning her head, she saw Yue Jinghua’s grateful gaze.

This use of Dark Energy as needles by Cheng Ying was also a skill she had recently learned. It appeared to be very exquisite, but in reality, it was as taxing as punching cows across a mountain, consuming a great deal of energy.

Cheng Ying was about to speak when suddenly she heard Yue Minzhi in front of her abruptly open his eyes, emitting a strange sound.

Yue Jinghua and Cheng Ying looked over together.

The two looked on, but they were more shocked than when they saw the Hua Snake previously.

On Yue Minzhi’s skin, scales started to appear, and his pupils had turned golden.

The sound that came from his mouth initially sounded like the roar of a Dark Beast, but upon closer listening, it was...

Just as Yue Minzhi made that strange noise, within the Dragon Cave located a dozen miles away from the Imperial Hospital.

The restive Sub-Asian Dragons were suddenly awakened, all clamoring and restless, no matter how angrily the Cultivators cursed and tried to tame them, they would not obey.

The Flying Dragons flapped their wings anxiously inside the Dragon Cave, wanting to soar into the sky.

The Earth Dragons were rampaging through the Dragon Cave as if in fear of something.

In the artificial lake, the Mother Dragon Lan Dai surfaced, and the vigilant Nuoyan also erupted in bursts of roars.

It was a strange yet irresistible sound that only the Dragon Clan could hear.

Even after a thousand years, the Sub-Asian Dragons still could not forget that sound.

It was the Dragon Clan’s, the truly pure-blooded Dragon Clan’s, the Ancient Holy Dragons’ dragon chant, representing the call of the Dragon King.

The dragon chant passed through the clouds, over mountains and rivers, through Plane Hurricanes, reaching all the way to the Moon Plane.

Hearing the lofty and powerful dragon chant, filled with life force, several elders of the Sun Dragon Clan gathered together.

"It seems someone has triggered the seal of the Dragon Clan, calling upon the descendant of the Holy Dragon Clan who has been in deep slumber?! Judging from this sound, is it coming from the Lower Plane?"

"Indeed, it comes from a continent in the Star Plane of the Lower Plane, the Canglong Continent," the elders immediately pinpointed the source of the dragon chant.

"We must not allow the Dragon Clan Descendant to remain in the Lower Plane, immediately dispatch a Guiding Envoy to enter the Lower Plane, and bring back the Holy Dragon Descendant. If he/she refuses to return, then kill them," the elders quickly made a decision.

Inside the Imperial Hospital, Yue Jinghua’s expression changed abruptly after hearing the sound clearly.

This sound, it seemed familiar to her.

The Dragon Cave? No, this was the real dragon chant. She remembered, she had heard a similar dragon chant on the body of Yun Zhao, the Silver Holy Dragon from the Cloud Dragon Clan.

But why would Yue Minzhi emit such a dragon chant?
