Seeing Wei Xiao Bei’s gaze was on him, Ao Yan understood.
While he was refining, he was still able to separate his attention and speak, “Stop looking already. Even if you keep looking, I don’t have any Scales to give you. Those few only dropped when I reached 300 years.”
These words might not have seemed like much, but Wei Xiao Bei was able to understand many things from it.
When a true Dragon underwent a metamorphosis, it would not shed many scales. However, the most important point here was that Wei Xiao Bei and Ao Yan’s relationship grew even closer.
After encountering Ao Yan, Wei Xiao Bei had thought about many things.
He used [Deductive Reasoning] to understand many things about true Dragons.
Put simply, a true Dragon’s metamorphosis was the same as a snake molting. Every time they transformed, they would grow stronger and bigger.
However, a true Dragon would become extremely weak during molting. Thus, a true Dragon would abstain from telling anyone when they were molting.
After all, if they encountered a powerful person, there was a chance they could predict the next time Ao Yan would molt.
Naturally, Ao Yan also felt that Wei Xiao Bei was not much of a threat.
He already placed the Dragon Soul on his forehead so what was there for him to be afraid of?
Just like that, Wei Xiao Bei looked forward to the wok that Ao Yan was refining for him.
Wei Xiao Bei’s understanding of refining was a lot better than before.
The success and failure of refining focused on two points.
The first was a person’s refining skills. In Ao Yan’s view, even ordinary-looking grass can become an astonishing treasure.
The second thing was the material used for refining.
The better the materials, the better the treasure that be produced. This was indisputable.
Even if a person’s refining skills were low, then their success would rely solely on the quality of materials used. The treasure that would come out would probably be 30% worse than what might originally come out.
For example, Ao Yan had described a magical weapon called Star Fall before.
The so-called Star Fall was a weapon made using a star. Refining skills did not matter at all since its real power came from the star.
Once it was used, a star would strike at you as it completely relied on the power of the star.
The star here was not a real star, but a star of the Dust World.
Naturally, stars in the Dust World could only be refined by a few people.
At this time, the Dragon Excrement Rock and the fiery red rock were melted into a ball of red liquid.
The three Dragon Scales were floating up and down inside of it like a wheel.
Perhaps Ao Yan was helpless about this.
Since they were part of him, the Dragon Scales would have unimaginable fire resistance.
Naturally, melting them was something that could not be done in a short period of time.
At this time, he spat on the red ball, attempting to melt the scales.
Wei Xiao Bei did not laze around. While Ao Yan was refining the wok, he began to roast more meat on the Dragon Excrement Rock that he ignited.
The Dragon Excrement Rock was not bad. The flames ignited from it could be controlled by the Dragon Soul on his forehead. As long as he willed it, he could control the strength of the flames.
He did not have to personally turn a nob, he only needed to think.
This was extremely beneficial to his cooking.
Moreover, roasting meat on the rock increased the chances of creating a Rare Quality dish by 10%!
This chance was not a small thing.
It must be known that when he used ordinary flames to cook the Flame Giant’s meat, he had a 60% chance of creating Rare Quality dishes and a 40% chance of creating Elite Quality dishes.
Now, he used Giant Python meat to cook over the flames. The chances of creating Rare Quality dishes were 80% and Elite Quality dishes were 20%. In the 80%, 10% had come from how high class an ingredient Giant Python Meat was, and another 10% came from using Dragon Excrement Rock as a fire source.
Soon, Wei Xiao Bei had cooked five sticks of Immortal Quality roasted meat. It could increase his Strength and Agility by 3 points.
He ate a stick, looked at the changes in his status panel, and shook his head.
If he ate the Immortal Quality roasted meat, it would be a bit of a waste.
After eating it, his Strength only increased by 0.5 points, while his Hand-Eye Coordination and Flexibility increased by 0.5, and his Reflex and Balance increased by 1 point.
After his attributes reached a certain level, this kind of treasure that increased his status had decreased effects.
However, this was the first time he had seen the effect weaken this much.
Seeing Ao Yan maintain attention on refining, Wei Xiao Bei stored the remaining roasted meat into his storage bracelet.
These Immortal Quality roasted meat dishes were naturally for his disciples. As for Rare Quality and High-Quality ones, he would use them as a food supply.
After cooking more than 20 chunks of snake meat, equivalent to 600 sticks, the Dragon Scales inside the red liquid began to melt.
At this time, Ao Yan relaxed. He moved his attention to Wei Xiao Bei, extended his tongue, and shouted, “I’m hungry! I’m hungry!”
Wei Xiao Bei placed the freshly cooked snake meat on it and Ao Yan quickly retracted his tongue. He sighed with satisfaction, “The taste is truly magnificent. I wonder how much I could eat.”
Hearing Ao Yan’s words, Wei Xiao Bei pondered and thought that Ao Yan should not be too far from his next metamorphosis.
According to age, it would be 500 years to become a Jiao Dragon, which was quite close.
Naturally, there was also a saying for this.
500 years was not a set time. Each dragon was different. Some would take more than 500 years while others could do it at 400 years.
Additionally, becoming a Jiao Dragon was one big transformation.
After becoming a Jiao Dragon, a true Dragon would grow a horn and have a huge increase in strength.
In the stricter sense, a Jiao was mixed blood of a true Dragon and a snake. One horn for a Jiao and two horns for a true Dragon.
Time passed slowly as Wei Xiao Bei roasted meat.
Ao Yan was quite satisfied now and spat another mouthful of saliva to increase the heat of the liquid while waiting for Wei Xiao Bei to cook more roasted meat.
According to Wei Xiao Bei’s calculation, three days had passed. The Giant Python’s corpse had already been turned into bones and stored into his storage bracelet. At the same time, the Dragon Scales had completely melted.
However, even if they had melted, it was not mixed into the liquid. Instead, it had turned into three small Fire Dragons that swam inside.
At this time, Ao Yan could not even pay anymore attention to the roasted meat. His attention was all on the liquid while he was chanting. His voice was not low, but when Wei Xiao Bei heard it, his mind blanked. When he had come to, he realized that he could not even remember a single thing in the chant.
When Ao Yan had chanted, the liquid gradually became red runes. These red runes became connected by fire, forming a huge web. In an instant, the three small Dragons swimming inside were bound together.
These three Dragons were the Dragons formed by the Dragon Scales and did not have any intelligence, but after they had been bound, they actually howled in grief.
The voice was not loud, but Wei Xiao Bei had to cover his ears as he felt extreme pain from listening.
Luckily, the howl disappeared when the three Dragons were pulled into the depths of the liquid.
“Seal!”
Ao Yan shouted. The liquid floating in mid-air had instantly changed. The flames above continue to rise like a volcano. In an instant, the flames had blocked Wei Xiao Bei’s [Response Pulse]. It now looked like a scorching sun that pressured him and stopped him from sensing the changes inside.
This process continued for around six hours. Only then did the flames gradually weaken. When the flames shrunk to less than the size of a car, the flames suddenly disappeared. A bowl fell from the inside and hit the ground after the lava solidified, leaving a deep hole in the ground.
“Okay. I’ll go to sleep first. Call me once you’re done.”
At this time, Ao Yan appeared to be incredibly tired as he lazily yawned. He laid down on the ground and began letting out a slight wheeze.
After Ao Yan had fallen asleep, Wei Xiao Bei did not have any right to stop him.
When he walked to the hole, he saw that it was half a meter deep. At the depths was a bowl, or to be more accurate a small wok.
Wei Xiao Bei extended his hand, caught the ear of the wok, and pulled it out.
Amazing!
Wei Xiao Bei might have easily pulled out the palm-sized wok, but in reality, it weighed at least a ton.
This wok was entirely red and was similar in color to the fiery red rocks.
Afterward, Wei Xiao Bei opened his eyes.
Activate Enlightenment!
