Chapter 119 Yinglong Pattern
Yang Dongxiong pulled apart the entire dragon tendon, cut it into several sections and distributed them to everyone according to their proportions. He also cut off some fish skin and used it to wrap the dragon tendon to isolate the dragon's breath and prevent the fish from going crazy.
Liang Qu collected his piece of dragon tendon and carefully wrapped it in the fish skin.
I wonder what difference it would make if I ate it?
A huge amount of water essence, or some other unexpected surprise?
Yang Dongxiong looked at the remaining huge body, thought for a while and said: "Lu Gang, you take the fish skin and make an inner armor for everyone. The remaining fish skin will be yours."
"I will find an alchemist to refine the fish bone in a while and see if I can condense the inner marrow into a pill. We can share it then."
"As for the dragon bones."
The essence in the dragon bones was absorbed by the sturgeon king and transferred to the dragon tendons in its body.
There is very little essence left, and the only advantage left is that the material is good enough. It is tasteless to eat and a pity to throw away.
Yang Dongxiong looked at Lu Gang, the only weapon refining master present.
Lu Gang pondered for a while: "The remaining essence is far from enough to make a spiritual weapon. How about I use it to make a plastic for Junior Brother Liang's spear? With the remaining bone material, I will try to make a few daggers and short swords."
Liang Qu held Fu Bo and felt delighted.
This is the growth potential of spiritual weapons. As long as they are handled properly, other materials can be added without having to disassemble them and re-refine them.
Refining in even a trace of dragon bone essence is worth looking forward to, not to mention that you can also get a set of inner armor.
What a great harvest! Really a great harvest!
Yang Dongxiong nodded: "Thank you for your hard work."
Liang Qu also hurriedly said: "Thank you, Senior Brother Lu!"
Lu Gang shook his head. Forging weapons was his second biggest hobby besides martial arts, and he enjoyed it.
Being able to forge dragon bones, a material that countless weapon forgers covet, it is not a question of whether it is hard or not.
The same goes for the fish skin. It's such a big piece, and although there are many wounds on it, they are all caused by sharp weapons, and there is no large-scale damage. After making the inner armor for the brothers, the remaining materials are a huge fortune.
"Okay! When we get out, we'll just say we killed an ordinary sturgeon monster, dragon tendons, and dragon bones. Don't tell anyone about it, okay?"
A sturgeon king alone is not a big deal, but dragon tendons and dragon bones, even Master Zhenxiang would be tempted, this is no joke.
"Master, don't worry. We all know how to make a fortune quietly." Xu Zishuai put his arm around Liang Qu's shoulders and said with a smile, "Xiao Jiu, there will be more good things like this in the future. Don't forget your brother. He'll be there whenever you call!"
Liang Qu smiled and said, "I'm afraid that if we really find Senior Brother Xu, you won't dare to come forward."
"I don't dare? Even if you find a real dragon, I will rush over and pry a piece of its scale off. We will split it 50-50 between us brothers!"
Sixth Senior Brother Cao Rang laughed: "Senior Brother Xu, your ability to brag has improved!"
Yu Dun shouted, "Okay, stop joking, come over and help carry the fish. Junior Brother Xu, you can carry this part, don't drag it on the ground."
In the evening, the glow of the sky is like fire.
The old farmer, who had just finished plowing the field, was walking on the roadside, stepping on his shadow, when he was suddenly pulled by a buffalo behind him and stumbled.
Looking back, he saw the big guy standing still, not moving at all no matter how he shouted. He even took a few steps back and pulled the old farmer back.
"You're so angry!"
The old farmer whipped the buffalo and started to moo.
The shadow shone down on his head, the hand holding the whip froze in mid-air, and the old farmer looked back in a daze.
The sturgeon's head poked out of the woods, across the road, its pair of dead fish eyes exuding a terrifying aura.
The old farmer was so frightened that his legs went weak and he fell to the ground: "Fish! The fish are on the shore!?"
"Don't be afraid, fellow, it's dead!"
Xu Zishuai walked out of the woods carelessly carrying a large fish head. He turned around and showed the cross-section of the fish head.
The cross-section was smooth and bloody, and you could see the muscles twitching inside. The old farmer rolled his eyes and fell backwards. Lu Gang dodged and propped up the old farmer's back with his calf, glaring at Xu Zishuai.
Xu Zishuai smiled awkwardly.
Liang Qu started to make a noise: "Senior Brother Xu, you did something bad again! I saw it all."
He carried the six-meter-long fish tail, trying hard not to drag it on the ground, like an ant carrying food.
"What nonsense! I didn't do anything."
"Then why did he faint?"
"Yeah, you weren't the one who scared me?"
The brothers, each carrying a piece of meat, walked out of the woods one after another, making fun of the others.
"It's none of my business, it's none of my business!"
Yang Dongxiong was riding a horse, leading a team of horses in a row. He shook his head helplessly, took out a small medicine bottle from his arms and threw it to Lu Gang.
Lu Gang held up the piece of meat in one hand and took the medicine bottle with the other. He held the bottom of the bottle with his palm, twisted the lid open with two fingers, and shook his hand under the old farmer's nose. The old farmer's eyes twitched.
"Let's go, he will wake up in a few breaths, don't stimulate him anymore." Yang Dongxiong waved his whip, and the others followed.
When the old farmer slowly opened his eyes, there was only an old cow lying beside him, scratching its head.
"Strange, why am I lying down?"
If one person sees a bloody fish head, he would be scared, but if a group of people see it, it becomes a lively scene.
Liang Qu paraded through the streets carrying the big fish. All the people who saw him called their friends and wished that everyone they knew would come and see this novelty.
After everyone entered Yang's Mansion, they were reluctant to leave. They stood in front of the door and gestured to people who hadn't seen the fish to see how big the fish was.
Many new warriors were also secretly shocked.
The big fish still exudes a strong aura even after it died for a long time. It turns out that Yang Dongxiong, the local tyrant, is truly extraordinary.
However, water beasts have always been difficult to catch. I wonder where they came from?
The news that the Yang family martial arts school had caught a demon fish quickly spread throughout Pingyang County. The story became more and more outrageous, with some even saying that they had caught the Dragon King, which meant that Pingyang County had been rid of a great scourge.
The poor sturgeon monster has never shown its head since it was a child, but now it is still labeled as a "disaster".
It’s not completely wrong.
After the sturgeon king has completely absorbed the essence of the dragon bones, it will inevitably follow the Guolong River back to the Jianghuai swamps and return to the sea.
When we pass through Pingyang County, there will be a lot of casualties with every move.
Liang Qu also indirectly saved many lives.
Late at night, only a huge white skeleton was left in the courtyard. The most delicious fish belly, tenderloin, meat on the bone and other precious meats had been stored in the ice cellar for easy access and use.
Yang Dongxiong originally planned to sell the remaining corpses of the monsters, including the inedible parts of the sturgeon king, to a trading company, but Xu proposed another distribution method.
She divided the remaining fish into three parts.
Part of it is sold to merchants, and the money is divided up again.
A portion of them are priced and provided to martial arts schools as apprentices, which increases the attractiveness of the schools and indirectly expands their influence quickly.
The last part was made into meat porridge and given to the victims.
“Many disaster victims had a bumpy journey and suffered from minor illnesses. They couldn’t afford to see a doctor, so they had to put it off. Ultimately, it’s because they weren’t strong enough. If you make this big fish into shredded pork porridge, have a bowl of it, it will cure any illness.
Things are different now. You ran a martial arts school in Pingyang Town for twenty years before, and everyone believed in you and kept their word. Now the population has increased so much, and only a small number of people believe in you. You can't just stand by and watch.
A bowl of porridge and a few pieces of shredded pork may not cost you much in total, but I guarantee they will remember your kindness for the rest of their lives."
Yang Dongxiong agreed on the spot.
The victims who flowed in were not ordinary victims. To be precise, they were "refugees" who were too scared to live in their original places. They were all "high-value" people with healthy bodies who could run and jump, a piece of fat meat.
Whoever bites first can get the most oil.
Learned another trick.
Liang Qu wrote it down in his little notebook and was deeply impressed by his master's wife's wisdom. She was worthy of being the eldest daughter of the Xu family in Huangzhou.
Having been in Yixing Town for so long, he knows best the role of public opinion. Often there are unexpected gains, and you have to be cautious if the government wants to take any action against you.
Yang Dongxiong ordered his servants to fetch the meat and provide porridge tomorrow morning. Then he looked at everyone and asked, "Do you want to stay here and eat the sturgeon meat, or do you want to refine the dragon tendons first?"
"Refine the dragon tendons!"
"Hehe, Master, I'm just waiting to refine the dragon tendons. The sturgeon meat is in the ice cellar, so there's no rush."
Although sturgeon meat is delicious, it cannot compare to the temptation of dragon tendons. Without hesitation, everyone chooses to refine the dragon tendons first.
"Haha, you guys, okay, go quickly, if you want to go back and practice, go back and practice, you can use it in my quiet room. Remember that dragon tendons are best eaten raw, don't go back and cook them."
Liang Qu left Fu Bo to Brother Lu to fill in the mold, and asked for a bunch of extra king sturgeon meat, ready to take it back to feed his four cubs at home. Then he rode back to Yixing Town on Chishan Mountain with all the harvest of the day.
After three months of construction, the main structure of his new house was finally completed. He no longer needed to use the martial arts gym's rooms, so for the sake of privacy, he naturally had to return to his new home to practice.
Dragon tendons are too attractive to water animals, so absorbing them on water is not feasible and can easily lead to accidents.
In the quiet room specially built by craftsmen, Liang Qu lit a candle and untied the fish skin. The dragon tendons as thick as his wrist shone with golden light under the candlelight, which was extremely moving.
"The dragon tendon that prolongs life, it's not easy to wait for you to take this bite."
Liang Qu grabbed the tendon and took a bite. It had no taste at all and was extremely difficult to chew. It had a fatty texture, like biting into a piece of oily rubber.
