Chapter 124: Scarlet Flame Devouring Dragon
In the room, Qing Lin's young face was filled with excitement.
She had no idea what had just happened or what it meant. As a young girl, she found it interesting and fun.
Seeing Qing Lin's excitement, Gu He couldn't help but smile.
It seemed that Qing Lin's Three Flowers of the Azure Serpent Pupils had completely awakened.
"Qing Lin, come here," Gu He called the young girl over and rolled up her sleeve.
Instantly, a piece of green scale appeared before Gu He's eyes.
Apart from the scale, Gu He also saw a snake-shaped pattern.
This snake-shaped pattern was exactly the Two-Headed Fire Spirit Snake from before.
"Teacher..."
Seeing Gu He roll up her sleeve and reveal the scales on her arm, Qing Lin's excitement faded instantly, and she appeared a bit timid.
"Don't be nervous. Didn't I teach you? Don't pay too much attention to what others think."
Seeing Qing Lin's face turn a bit pale, Gu He understood her thoughts. He pinched her soft cheek and comforted her with a smile.
"Besides, these scales look quite beautiful. Why are you shy?"
Seeing that Gu He didn't mind the scales on her arm, Qing Lin felt reassured, and her complexion returned to normal. Then, when she saw Gu He holding onto her arm and looking intently, her small face blushed.
Gu He looked at the pattern on Qing Lin's arm, deep in thought.
She remembered that, in the original work, Qing Lin was able to create an eye-space within her Three Flowers of the Azure Serpent Pupils later on. The magical beasts she controlled were directly stored in this eye-space.
The size of this space was limited, but it would grow as her strength increased. The magical beasts stored in this space would slowly be absorbed by Qing Lin. The absorption speed was very slow, determined by her own strength.
Clearly, Qing Lin had not yet opened this eye-space.
Could it be because her strength wasn't sufficient? Gu He wondered.
He had no idea about how to develop the abilities of the Three Flowers of the Azure Serpent Pupils.
In the original work, Qing Lin only developed this ability after being taken by the Tian She Mansion. Maybe the Tian She Mansion had some secret techniques for developing the Three Flowers of the Azure Serpent Pupils?
It seemed that in the future, if he had the opportunity, he should pay a visit to this Tian She Mansion.
If his strength allowed it, Gu He wouldn't mind robbing all the secrets from the Tian She Mansion. That way, he wouldn't hinder Qing Lin's progress.
As for sending Qing Lin to the Tian She Mansion, Gu He had never even considered it. He would never send his precious disciple to the Tian She Mansion.
Gu He believed that with his current rate of development, it wouldn't be long before he could completely overshadow the Tian She Mansion.
For now, he would let Qing Lin stay by his side, focusing on improving her strength.
Besides, he could capture a few more snake-like magical beasts for her to form contracts with. This might be a way to develop the Three Flowers of the Azure Serpent Pupils.
Meanwhile, the young girl was staring at the snake-shaped pattern on her arm with amazement.
She couldn't understand how such a large magical beast had ended up on her arm.
Watching the young girl's curious expression, Gu He silently smiled.
Then, Gu He remembered the system notification sound that he had heard in his mind earlier.
A Level Seven magical beast, the Scarlet Flame Devouring Dragon
It seemed that he was going to have one more pet under his command.
With a faint smile on his lips, Gu He's thoughts shifted, and his mind directly entered the system space.
Upon entering the system space, Gu He saw the red light cluster floating in the void.
Gu He released a strand of soul power to touch the red light cluster.
In an instant, a burst of information entered Gu He's mind.
This information is naturally about the seventh-rank magical beast, the Scarlet flame devouring dragon.
After a moment, Gu He opened his eyes, and his mind had fully accepted the information about the Scarlet flame devouring dragon.
The Scarlet flame devouring dragon is an eighth-rank magical beast with the strength of a mid-seventh-rank, equivalent to the strength of a human six or seven-star dou practitioner.
The Scarlet flame devouring dragon is a fire-element magical beast, proficient in fire attacks, and possesses incredible defense.
As the information about the Scarlet flame devouring dragon flashed through his mind, a smile appeared at the corner of Gu He's mouth.
He then muttered, "System, extract the Scarlet flame devouring dragon."
As soon as Gu He finished speaking, the red light cluster in the void trembled slightly and then disappeared, revealing a massive creature.
At this moment, Gu He finally saw the true appearance of the Scarlet flame devouring dragon.
It was a snake-like magical beast with twin horns, entirely crimson, and had a massive body covered in countless fierce and sharp scales. Its movements caused ripples in the surrounding several yards of space.
After wriggling in the void for a moment, the Scarlet flame devouring dragon landed directly in front of Gu He.
"Master!" a deep male voice came from the Scarlet flame devouring dragon's mouth.
Looking at the Scarlet flame devouring dragon in front of him, Gu He nodded in satisfaction.
Although its appearance was a bit ugly, its presence was quite imposing, and it wouldn't be embarrassing to take it out.
Gu He looked at the Scarlet flame devouring dragon and asked, "Do you have a name?"
Upon hearing this, the massive head of the Scarlet flame devouring dragon swayed, and it said, "Please give me a name, Master!"
Gu He thought for a moment and then said, "From now on, you shall be called 'Chijiao.'"
"Chijiao…" the Scarlet flame devouring dragon muttered, then respectfully said to Gu He, "Thank you, Master, for giving me a name."
Gu He looked at Chijiao and said, "Chijiao, stay here for a while. I'll take you out in a couple of days."
Chijiao nodded and replied, "Yes, Master."
After that, Gu He's thoughts moved, and he left the system space.
When Gu He returned to his body, he looked at Qinglin, who was still studying the snake-shaped pattern on her arm.
He was about to say something when he suddenly sensed that someone was approaching from outside.
Gu He released his soul power and saw that the Xiao brothers were coming towards them.
"It seems the materials for the Purple Jade Pill are ready," Gu He thought, and he guessed the reason for their visit.
A moment later, a knocking sound came from the door.
Following that, Xiao Ding called out from outside, "Master Gu, Xiao Ding requests an audience."
Hearing the sound from outside, Qinglin was startled and quickly pulled down her sleeve to cover the snake-shaped pattern on her arm.
Gu He calmly said, "Come in."
The door creaked open, and the Xiao brothers entered slowly.
After Xiao Ding entered, he handed a package to Gu He and said, "Master Gu, the materials needed to refine the Purple Jade Pill are inside this package."
Gu He signaled for Qinglin to take the package and said, "You can come to collect the pill tomorrow."
Xiao Ding's face lit up with joy, and he nodded respectfully, saying, "Thank you, Master Gu."
With the herbs delivered, the Xiao brothers bid their farewell as they saw that Gu He was not in the mood for further conversation.
