After hearing this, Jiang Zhen laughed heartily and then said:
"Hehe, there's not much to say about this. Next, we need to head to the Central Plains!"
Upon hearing this, Ma Xiaoling nodded.
Then, Jiang Zhen looked at the old Dragon King and said:
"Old Dragon King, thank you very much this time. We should be going now."
I need to take this girl with me to gain some experience. We won't stay here any longer.
Upon hearing this, the old Dragon King quickly said:
"Please wait a moment, senior. I have something else to give to you, young friend!"
After saying that, the old Dragon King waved his hand inside, and then a dragon girl walked in, carrying a set of clothes.
At this moment, the old Dragon King spoke:
"I observe that you are not wearing any armor or protective treasures."
Then he asked his daughter to fetch a piece of clothing.
Although this clothing cannot compare to those rare treasures of heaven and earth, it is still a small token of my appreciation from the East Sea.
This dragon scale armor is made from dragon scales and can be made to any size, changing as desired.
It is also impervious to water and fire, and can withstand being submerged in water or ignited by fire.
Its defensive capabilities are quite strong; even ordinary Xuanxian (a type of immortal) cannot break through it.
Even if a Golden Immortal were to make a move, it would take some time to break through these clothes.
Please accept this, young friend!
"This..." Ma Xiaoling hesitated for a moment after seeing this scene and looked at Jiang Zhen.
However, Jiang Zhen smiled and said:
"It's alright, please accept it!"
Upon hearing this, Ma Xiaoling nodded and took the clothes.
At this moment, the Dragon Girl stepped forward, told Ma Xiaoling how to use it, and helped her recognize her master.
Soon, the dragon scale robe transformed into a modern style of clothing and was put on Ma Xiaoling's body.
Seeing this, Jiang Zhen simply smiled and said nothing. After bidding farewell to the Dragon King of the East Sea, he left.
...............................
As Jiang Zhen left, a venerable old woman walked in.
"Your Majesty, why did you send such a fine gift to that girl?"
Although the dragon scale armor is nothing to us, something we can easily obtain.
But that purple-gold thunder staff was left behind by the ancestor, so why... give it to them...?
Upon hearing this, the old Dragon King spoke with a serious expression:
"This Senior Jiang is no ordinary person. Even the patriarch doesn't know his identity."
Back then, my ancestor and I went to see him together, but at the time, I didn't see anything special about him.
I only heard from the ancestor that this person is the Eternal Great Luo.
At that time, I didn't know what was going on either.
But then, do you still remember that earth-shattering battle five hundred years ago?
Upon hearing this, the old woman was taken aback and said:
"You're talking about that earth-shattering battle!"
The old Dragon King nodded and said:
"That's right, it was that battle. After that battle, I learned the reason from my ancestors."
The main characters in that battle were this predecessor, the Buddha of the West, and the Jade Emperor of Heaven.
Moreover, this senior won that battle, and his strength could even be said to be the strongest person below the level of a saint.
However, that's not all.
Another important point is that he and Esdeath have a very close relationship; they seem to be very good friends.
Furthermore, that battle back then was fought for that monkey.
Now, the monkey is said to be suppressed in the Two Realms Mountain, but everyone knows that this is not suppression at all.
On the contrary, they were carefree and happy inside, and could even occasionally run out for a stroll.
I don't need to elaborate on Esdeath's importance to our dragon race.
In short, these things are enough to make us treat this person this way.
Even without Esdeath, with his strength alone, even if he went to the Heavenly Court to ask for one or two magical treasures, the Jade Emperor would still give him a lot of good things.
All we gave up was a magical treasure we didn't need and a precious garment that we had countless others of, in exchange for this person's favor. That was enough.
Moreover, the True Dragon Treasure Technique he gave me was extraordinary.
I can tell that it is definitely a dragon clan secret technique that only a Great Luo level cultivator could create.
If we can learn it, we can also have considerable fighting power!
So, we're not at a loss, since we can pass on the True Dragon Treasure Technique.
As for that purple-gold thunder rod, it's just a magical treasure that we can't use!
For us, clansmen below the Golden Immortal level are not recognized and cannot be used.
Even if members of the clan at the Golden Immortal level or above could forcibly refine it, it would be something tasteless to eat and a pity to throw away.
Upon hearing this, Luang Phor nodded thoughtfully.
...............................
On the other side, after leaving the East China Sea, Ma Xiaoling spoke up:
"Would it be inappropriate for us to accept this dragon scale treasure? After all, we already have a treasure."
Now that they've taken this precious garment, what if…?
Upon hearing this, Jiang Zhen replied with a disdainful expression:
"Heh, do you think this thing is anything good?"
To put it simply, this thing is a garment made from the dragon scales of a Golden Immortal.
However, although the dragon race has declined, there are still some dragons at the Golden Immortal level.
They can craft a dragon item from any piece of scale they find. Their dragon scales can even regrow.
Although it was a bit slow, this thing wasn't particularly valuable to them.
The one in your hand is made from dragon scales suitable for Taiyi Golden Immortals; it's considered a relatively good one.
In short, just accept it; it's nothing special!
Chapter 809 In a world like this, why are there still disasters?
At this moment, in the Central Plains, on an official road, Jiang Zhen, accompanied by Ma Xiaoling, walked slowly along the road, each on horseback.
At this moment, Ma Xiaoling looked at the disaster victims around her, frowned, and said:
"Brother Jiang, this era is too bitter, how could it be like this?"
Logically speaking, if deities exist, why would such a situation occur?
Upon hearing this, Jiang Zhen chuckled and said:
"Hehe, Xiaoling, do you think this shouldn't happen?"
Ma Xiaoling nodded and said:
"Look at this world! The spiritual energy is so abundant, even the physical fitness of ordinary people is amazing."
It must be incredibly good, far, far better than the world we live in.
Furthermore, farming here would yield an abundance of grain.
Why do famines and similar events still occur?
Upon hearing this, Jiang Zhen sighed and said:
"Hehe, Xiaoling, you're right about everything, but there's one thing you've forgotten."
You are using the logic of your own world, not the logic of this world.
You're right. In this world, compared to your world, there are far more people, more people, more land, and more food produced.
But you forgot one thing.
That is, with more grain produced, the population also increases.
So it's not as good as you think; for them, there's still not enough food to go around.
As for the difference in physical constitution, the average person in this world is indeed much stronger than the average person in your world.
However, you must not forget that, relatively speaking, they are quite weak compared to the rest of the world.
Therefore, when you look at things, don't compare them with what you already know; compare them with the current state of the world.
Only by comparing yourself to others in the same world can you get what you want.
Upon hearing this, Ma Xiaoling pondered for a moment and said...
“I understand… You mean, the world has become stronger, so everything else has also become stronger.”
However, the fundamental situation remains unchanged.
Jiang Zhen: "Hmm...more or less! And they might be in an even worse situation, because this world is full of demons and monsters."
After hearing this, Ma Xiaoling fell silent.
