Legendary Dragonic Fox'S Disciple
Ep.3 Travel(3) - Dark Dragon

"so yeah. Seeing world.. That's good, his age is still very easy, good, good. Please come in first, I'll give you what I have best."

After that, Yinghua and Xueran walked into the hut, Yinghua was not disappointed at all, instead she was happy to see a ghost for the first time, let alone a good one like this, although he could only see a jet-black cold soul figure with a smiling mouth, yet there was indeed the sincerity and honesty he felt from that sinister figure.

Inside the small hut, there was a simple dining table in the form of a circle made of wood and had begun to decay, the three creatures, alive and dead, alive and dead, sit side by side at the small table in peace and even look harmonious.

The old granny's ghost turns out to be quite talkative, she says it would be good for Yinghua to hear her story, and starts telling her how she saved different kinds of people from all kinds of evil, she said, but most of it was when his home became a refuge for bandits, as well as how he prevented a wide variety of people from heading to the miasma-filled mountain located at the end of a small road beside his hut.

In the middle of the grandmother's story, Yinghua asked, "Sir, what is this miasma?"

And the ghostly grandmother answered him, "the miasma referred to here is polluted air, the reason can be of various kinds. Ah, since you asked me this, I just remembered the thing I wanted to tell you since I felt your presence near here before!"

"Did you find the reason for this miasma?"

"Fright! Hoho, you're still as sharp as ever, son Xueran."

Yinghua is a little sidetracked, son? Then how old is this one grandma if she even calls the teacher 'son'?'

Yinghua was only sidetracked for a moment, as the grandmother immediately continued her words.

"This miasma is actually from the decaying corpse of the Dark Dragon!"

"Dark Dragon, I haven't heard of them in a long time, still causing trouble after death."

Xueran's answer was so cold, Yinghua became curious about this Dark Dragon.

"What is Dark Dragon?"

"They are an association, or arguably also a belief, whose members are part of the dragon race that uses black magic. They offended me hundreds of years ago, so I killed most of their members, whereas the few who were still alive were already dying, so I just let it go, instead, looks like the dragon on the mountain was one of those loose ones."

"Then the other one.. Did they make something like this mountain too?"

"No, every dragon should die unraveling to the ground without a single influence from what they cultivate, these dragon bones must have been manipulated. My guess is, this is an act of this Dark Dragon worship society. The culprit is most likely dead now, all that remains is the result of his foul deeds, after all this mountain has been mummified for so long."

Yinghua nodded her head in a nod, agreeing with what her teacher said.

"It so happens that you're here, I'd like to ask you to help clean up the Dark Dragon's corpse and remove the miasma on that mountain, I'll really give you the best gift I have."

"It's okay, Lao Nian, after all, it's the result of my past actions not being able to judge things well, even causing things like this. We'll clean it up soon."

Yinghua was excited to hear Xueran say 'we' which means he will come to the mountain!

"No, no, you must accept this gift, even if it is useless to you, it will definitely be very good to help your students progress."

Hearing this, Yinghua thanked him, "thank you, Grandma!"

"Hoho, what a good boy.."

"In that case, let us leave right now, there are other things that we must quickly take care of besides this," Xueran said as he stood up from his seat.

"Go, may luck always be with you."

After that, the pair of teachers and students did not linger for long, they immediately ran down the small path using Qinggong, a running technique that uses qi.

On their way, Xueran gave Yinghua some improvements and tips, so that their speed increased following Yinghua's speed.

After more than 10 minutes of running, they finally arrived in front of the miasma mountain in question.

The mountain is so big, vast and full of forest. Moreover, black smoke was clearly visible surrounding the entire surface, and with his Spiritual Instinct, Yinghua could actually see the direction of the source of this smoke. But he kept following behind his teacher, his teacher must know better than him.

Before entering the smoke-filled mountain, Xueran taught Yinghua how to create a Barrier, teaching her a Barrier technique that could ward off 100 poisons and 100 evils. This was a technique that Xueran made himself, the name of the technique was Xiedu Guan or Barrier Xiedu for beginners.

Yinghua easily learned the technique, it only took 5 minutes before Xueran nodded in satisfaction and they immediately entered the mountain.

The deeper, the black smoke grew thicker, Yinghua had to rely on her Spiritual Instinct to feel around and not separate from her teacher.

After roughly 10 minutes of entering the mountain, they met the herd of Spirit Beasts that were tainted by the miasma, or could be called Corupted Spirit Beasts. They were more aggressive, nor could they have intelligence because their minds had been polluted, besides their element had also turned into darkness.

Xueran stared at the Golden Thunder Ape herd in front of him without any change in expression, his eyes then turned to look at Yinghua.

Yinghua had already taken out her sword, and her blade was emitting a green-colored qi with a golden-coloured tip, it seemed like Yinghua's qi was also affected by life energy. Just like his eyes, now his qi also had two colors.

The Golden Thunder Ape in front of him numbered 19, most were tier 3 with 2 existing at tier 4.

Spirit as well as Demonic Beasts had the same size of power level, divided from level 1-9, and 1 mysterious level. Level 3 was equivalent to a Foundation Realm level 8-9, and level 4 was equivalent to a low-medium level of Condensing Qi.

Now, Yinghua was dealing with 17 Spirit Beasts of her level as well as 2 Spirit Beasts stronger than her.

The difference between Foundation Realm realm and Condensing Qi was like 1 versus 10, the difference of Condensing Qi with Core Formation was 1 in 100, Core Formation with Nascent Soul was 1 in 1000, the difference between Condensing Qi and Core Formation was 1 in 1000, Nascent Soul with True Qi 1 in 10,000.

Looking at the level of his strength alone, one would have to at least be a low-level Condensing Qi to just endure it, and an intermediate level to defeat everything, even then would definitely be with difficulty.

'What should I do?'
