Hua Xuewan and Bai Jing were eager to try, Su Yu was also a bit curious, but Ruan Li felt heavy-hearted.
Most dragons lived in the desolate lands with Mo Yan and seldom ventured out unless in special circumstances. What was this red dragon doing?
Given that Jiang Yue Bai had previously mentioned dragon sightings nearby, the news must be true. Having been away for so long without contacting her clan, Ruan Li thought it was time to get in touch and find out what they were up to.
"Senior Sister, where are we headed?" Ruan Li asked once she had made up her mind.
"To the west of Fufeng, about a hundred miles from here. The dragon's whereabouts have been exposed, and people have started surrounding it. We must rush there immediately," Su Yu replied, then hesitated as she thought of Luo Qingci.
She didn't mind that the senior who had saved them knew about this, but others might not be so understanding.
If Xu Mushan and the others knew they were bringing outsiders to capture the dragon, they would certainly have objections.
Dragon hunting had become a coveted pursuit for countless cultivators. The benefits from a single dragon were immeasurable.
Dragon tendons, scales, and horns were excellent materials for refining weapons and could be auctioned at Treasure Pavilions for a considerable amount of spirit stones. Especially, the dragon's reverse scales and dragon pearls were incredibly coveted treasures.
Dragon reverse scales were extremely hard, and armor made from them could withstand a full-force attack from a Golden Core cultivator.
Dragon pearls contained half of a dragon's cultivation, and their power was comparable to a Grade Seven Spirit Pill. If the dragon was of high grade and strong cultivation, the dragon pearl could even be said to have the power to revive the dead.
In the past, the most regrettable thing for the Immortal Sect was not obtaining the dragon pearl from the Dragon King Xi Dan, despite their efforts. Otherwise, the sect could have produced a powerful figure on the verge of ascension.
In such a situation, many hoped to get a share of the spoils. Over the years, the sects had torn their faces apart over the decision of what to do with a dragon.
"Arli, if we go to find that dragon, we might have to bid farewell to Senior Chi," Su Yu said.
Although Su Yu didn't state it directly, Ruan Li understood her meaning. She had just met Chi Qing and didn't want to part ways, but before she could say anything, Luo Qingci's voice lazily drifted from afar.
"Have you all decided where to go?"
At this moment, Luo Qingci was lounging on the roof, one leg bent and the other hanging off the eaves, casual and relaxed.
Su Yu quickly replied, "Senior Chi, we just received a message from the sect requiring us to join other senior brothers. What about you, Senior?"
Luo Qingci stared at Su Yu without speaking.
Her eyes, visible beneath her mask, made Su Yu feel uneasy, as if she was sitting on pins and needles.
Luo Qingci chuckled lightly. "If you're in a hurry, I have my own leisurely affairs. I won't disturb you further. Mountains are high and rivers long; we'll meet again."
She casually cupped her hands in farewell, exuding an indescribable nonchalance, and then stood up and disappeared in the blink of an eye.
Ruan Li became anxious. "Senior... Senior Chi, where are you going? How will we... how will we meet again?"
