“I’ve heard that besides dragon-wielding, you have outstanding talent in the field of pharmacy, David Jones.

Grau knows that among pharmacists, the most precious heritage is the Pharmacy Flames Mystic Arts. This complete set of Heritage Stones containing the records needed to cultivate up to Class IX Immortal [Pure Flames] requires one million points for exchange,” said Grau, taking a slight pause in his tone.

“Given your current psychic power, this mystic arts is very suitable for cultivation. As for the complementary Pure Kindling, I’ll ask Lilith to help you pick a high-quality kindling after we return!”

Hearing Grau dare to call his teacher by her name, David Jones’s face stiffened slightly.

“Isn’t this a bit too precious?”

David Jones had already exceeded his expectations by obtaining a bottle of Ten Thousand Years Evergreen Stone Milk and the Hidden Dragon Ball, but he did not expect Grau to be so generous.

Audrey had suggested exchanging Pure Flames for only 100,000 points, which only included content on how to condense an innate flame for oneself and one’s pet.

However, Grau’s gift of a complete set of Pure Flames contained combinations of mystic arts on how to use innate flames to communicate with heaven and earth, as well as various methods for nurturing, controlling, and evolving.

“You should take it and carefully study it.”

Grau forcibly stuffed the Heritage Stone into David Jones’s arms.

Since receiving the Ten Thousand Years Evergreen Stone Milk, Grau’s interest in legendary powerful Evan Davis’s treasure had waned, and he even had thoughts of rushing back to Mountain Blacksmoke to seek a breakthrough.

However, adhering to the principle that since he had come, he should stay, and considering David Jones’s astonishing fortune, Grau eventually suppressed his inner impatience.

What if Evan Davis’s hidden treasure contained something helpful for his breakthrough?!

Seeing that he could not refuse, David Jones put away the Heritage Stone and then, under Grau’s expectant gaze, dropped the Dominant Elephant’s blood onto the Variable Dragon’s skin.

“Om!”

Accompanied by a visible spatial ripple flashing across the void, the Hidden Dragon Skin suddenly rose into the sky and burst into intense light. The space within a radius of several tens of meters began to collapse into form.

Tens of seconds later, a strange spatial fluctuation spread from the collapsed space, trying to engulf both David Jones and Grau.

“Meow!” ‘(^—fl^–;)/ (Hurry up and refuse!)

Daphne hurriedly looked up and spewed a ball of flames as a warning.

Seeing this, Jones was startled and looked at Lolo.

“Chirp!”

Lolo’s eyes condensed, and her hands burst into the same silver spatial force, directly shattering the spatial force trying to teleport them.

Upon seeing David Jones refuse the teleportation, Grau’s imposing momentum instantly annihilated the teleportation activated by the Hidden Dragon Skin. “What’s wrong?” Grau revealed a puzzled expression in his eyes.

Hidden Dragon Skin’s triggered spatial teleportation wasn’t compulsory, and as long as the teleported person felt repulsion and actively stimulated Arcane Force to resist, they could cancel the enveloping spatial force around them.

“I just suspected it might be a trap.”

David Jones looked at Daphne’s frightened expression and frowned, saying,

“A trap?”

Grau hesitated for a moment and asked subconsciously, “Is there a problem with this treasure map?”

“Whether there’s a problem or not, the place the Hidden Dragon Skin tried to teleport us to made Daphne feel an extreme sense of danger!” David Jones touched Daphne’s head and handed the now dimmed Hidden Dragon Skin to Grau.

“Is there a possibility that Evan Davis is still alive? Or that his legendary pet is still alive? Otherwise, nothing short of a legend would pose a threat to us, not even a Seventh-Order Tyrant.” David Jones said with a serious expression.

As far as David Jones knew, Evan Davis was a legendary general of the East Han Kingdom in Neolithic Period 3000 years earlier and had made many contributions in driving away beasts and maintaining order.

Not only did he launch a surprise attack on Grudge City in his lifetime, almost defeating the Purple Devil Phoenix, which ruled half of the Eastern Han Empire’s territory at the time, but he also slaughtered a nefarious Purple Devil Dragon that regarded human lives as insignificant. He was a famous Dragon-slaying general and legendary Dragoon.

Now, over fourteen thousand years have passed, and unless Evan Davis became an immortal Trainer beyond legends, it would be impossible for him to survive the relentless passage of time.

However, there might be a slim chance that his ace, the Nine-Layered Rock Dragon, could have survived.

After all, the lifespan of a legendary Dragon is much longer than that of a human. If it used an advanced Mystic Art to enter a deep slumber and preserved itself in a state between life and death, thus reducing the consumption of its lifespan, it might have a minimal chance of enduring the countless years.

David Jones just couldn’t figure out why the Nine-Layered Rock Dragon would risk its life to do so.

If luck was not on its side and the Mystic Art or the surrounding environment had problems, it could easily die halfway through.

“The upper limit of the lifespan of a True Dragon is generally around three thousand years, and even that of a Rock Nine-Layered Rock Dragon is at most five thousand years.”

Grau scratched his head in distress, “Should we go in then?”

“What if we return to the College first and hand this treasure map to the Teacher?” David Jones cautiously said.

He dared to go on an adventure to the Mountain Myriad Beasts with Grau because he knew that without encountering any legends along the way, Grau would be an invincible presence.

But David Jones still felt that there was no need to face an ambush set up by a legendary Powerful One.

After all, even Daphne had felt a sense of crisis like a tremor in her heart, and he wouldn’t continue to be stubborn.

“Alright,” Grau said gloomily.

With the Ten Thousand Years Evergreen Stone Milk in hand, although they did not get the dragon eggs they had hoped for during this experience, Grau was already satisfied.

“This Hidden Dragon Skin still has two chances to be triggered.”

David Jones examined the dragon skin with his Illusion-Piercing Eye for a while, and then casually handed this hot potato back to Grau.

Grau didn’t care, picked it up, and carried David Jones toward the direction of Rosewood City at a speed like lightning and flint.

Night fell, the sky was full of stars, and an Ocean-Reflect Dragon descended from the sky.

In addition to Guy Hume, who David Jones had encountered before, an old man with sunken eyes, snow-white hair, wrinkles all over his face, and looking almost at his last breath, was present on its back.

“This is what you call foolproofing.”

The old man’s voice was extremely weak. If it weren’t for the silence around him, ordinary people might not even hear his words even if they were close to him.

However, upon hearing the reprimanding words, Guy Hume’s face changed, and he unconsciously knelt down to the ground.

“Please forgive me, Ancestor!”

“Forgive you? How to forgive you? It’s understandable if you couldn’t defeat the Vein Dominating Elephant, but instead, you were afraid of the Ten Thousand Years Evergreen Stone Milk disappearing, due to dividing credits among the clan. You deserve to die a thousand times.”

Although the old man’s voice was barely audible, it struck Guy Hume’s ears like a thunderbolt.

“Rumbling!”

Without any visible action from the old man and even without summoning a Pet, the surrounding heavens and earth suddenly darkened.

“Crack!”

A bolt of lightning flashed, followed by a column of thunder carrying tremendous power, striking Guy Hume’s position. A scream accompanied it the next second.

“Grau the Mysterious Dragon of Rosewood College, capable of defeating a high-level Hybrid Giant Dragon – that Lilith Hoyle is not to be trifled with.”

As the old man muttered, columns of lightning continued to fall behind him.
