Cultivation Pet Shop

Lin Fan waited for a bit before asking, "Elder Hong, are you planning on using these dragon bones to rebuild your body?"

The scale turned in the air to look at Lin Fan before it said, "These bones are too low grade for me to rebuild my body with, but they can be used for something else. After all, these bones do contain a trace of the True Dragon Bloodline."

Lin Fan knitted his brows as he was confused by Hong Long\'s response, but then he suddenly revealed a look of understanding as he said, "Then we can use it to help Xiao Feng purify his bloodline?"

The scale rejected this idea by saying, "No, this concentration of bloodline in these bones won\'t do anything to Xiao Feng. Rather, Xiao Feng\'s bloodline is already as pure as it can be, he has the progenitor bloodline, so it can\'t be anymore pure."

Lin Fan knitted his brows in confusion again as he said, "Then what can these bones be used for?"

The scale hesitated a bit this time before saying, "Well, they can be used to purify the bloodlines of other dragons…"

Lin Fan knitted his brows even more when he heard this and he asked, "What other dragons do we know?"

There was a cough that came from the scale as an awkward silence appeared for a few seconds before Hong Long said, "There\'s Qing Ao…Or rather there\'s Qing Ao\'s daughter Qing Bao Lan…"

Lin Fan narrowed his eyes as he looked at the scale.

When Hong Long saw this, he couldn\'t help moving back a bit as if he was trying to avoid Lin Fan\'s gaze.

After another period of awkward silence, Lin Fan said, "Why would we give the bones to her? Can\'t brother Qing provide for his own daughter?"

Hong Long gave another awkward cough before saying, "Well, you know the relationship between her and Xiao Feng. If we help her purify her bloodline, it will be helping Xiao Feng in the future. After all, Xiao Feng will need allies in the dragon tribe when he takes over."

Lin Fan narrowed his eyes even more and there was a dangerous glint that appeared as he asked, "And when did I agree to this?"

Hong Long\'s voice became even more awkward as he said, "Xiao Lin, you should know how special Xiao Feng\'s bloodline is. His rightful place is with the dragon tribe, so it\'s only a matter of time before he goes back there. Not to mention that the dragon tribe has many treasures, so he won\'t lack his share of treasures to share with you."

Lin Fan gave a cold snort and said, "Does it seem like I\'m lacking treasures?"

Hong Long didn\'t know what to say in response to this.

He had been in this store for quite some time and he had seen the various things that Lin Fan had access to, so there was nothing he could refute Lin Fan\'s question with.

However, he knew that he couldn\'t just give up since he knew that Xiao Feng was the hope of his dragon tribe.

After a pause, Hong Long gave a sigh and said, "Xiao Lin, the dragon tribe has suffered a loss since the invasion of the Outer Races and we all need to work together to resist the Outer Races. Xiao Feng is the hope of the dragon tribe and without him, the dragon tribe won\'t be able to rise again and that will hurt our universe\'s chance of defeating the Outer Races."

Lin Fan knitted his brows when he heard this.

Outer Races?

What was that?

Seeing the change in expression on Lin Fan\'s face, Hong Long thought that he had finally found an angle that he could work, so he continued by saying, "The next invasion of the Outer Race isn\'t that far off, so we need to bring Xiao Feng back to the dragon tribe as soon as possible. Otherwise, it\'ll be too late for the dragon tribe to revive."

Lin Fan looked right at the scale and asked, "Outer Race? What is that?"

Hearing this, Hong Long swallowed the next words he was about to say as he just silently floated there.

After a long pause, Hong Long finally asked in a confused voice, "You don\'t know about the Outer Races? Your master never told you about them?"

Master?

There was no master in this store, so how could he tell him?

Lin Fan secretly thought this before saying with a calm look, "No, he never mentioned it before."

Hong Long once again fell silent as he realized his mistake.

Information on the Outer Races was considered top secret among the most powerful experts in this universe, there were only a few certain people that were allowed to know this secret.

The dragon tribe used to be one of the greatest races in the universe and Hong Long was one of its important elders, so naturally he was allowed to know this secret. However, even among the dragon tribe, there were only a few people that did know this secret.

Hong Long had assumed that Lin Fan\'s master would have told him this secret, but now it seemed like he had made a mistake…

After a long pause, Hong Long said, "Never mind that, pretend like I didn\'t say anything. Anyway, Xiao Feng is very important to the Dragon Race, he has a very important duty as a member of the Dragon Race."

Lin Fan gave a shrug as he said, "That doesn\'t concern me at all. Not to mention, who knows if the Dragon Race will be hostile or not."

Hong Long said in a serious voice, "I can guarantee that the Dragon Race will never be hostile towards you."

Lin Fan gave another shrug as he said, "Your word doesn\'t guarantee that the Dragon Race will never turn on us. Not to mention, how could they accept a member of their race with the progenitor bloodline following someone else?"

Hong Long fell silent, but then he said, "As long as your master makes a move, I\'m certain that everything will be solved easily."

​ Lin Fan said with a serious look, "My master will never make a move, you can be sure of that."

Hong Long was stunned by how certain Lin Fan\'s tone was, but he gave a sigh in the end and said, "Then as long as I breathe, I will make sure that no one from the Dragon Race brings you trouble."

Lin Fan gave a snort and said, "You and what body?"

Hong Long didn\'t know how to respond to that at all since he was too embarrassed to respond.

Lin Fan was right, he wasn\'t able to help at all right now because he was still trapped as a soul inside of this scale. If he didn\'t find a way to recover his power, all he could do was sit and watch as the dragon tribe destroyed all chances of creating any relations with Lin Fan.

Seeing that there was a long silence and that there was finally a chance to say something, Mo Ze Chen came forward to ask, "Boss, what is going on here? Who is this…person?"

Lin Fan looked at Mo Ze Chen and after thinking for a bit, he decided to tell the truth as he said, "This is Elder Hong Long of the Dragon Race, or rather a fragment of his soul."

Mo Ze Chen was surprised when he heard this as he muttered, "Dragon Race? But that\'s…"

Then Mo Ze Chen revealed an excited look as he said, "Boss, I always knew that there was something special about you, but I never thought that you were someone from the Dragon Race. The Dragon Race is one of the strongest races in this universe, they are far above just this tiny upper realm!"

Lin Fan shook his head and said, "I\'m not from the Dragon Race."

Mo Ze Chen was surprised by this, but then he looked at the scale and his brain quickly turned as he suddenly realized something. He quickly changed his tone as he said, "Oh, so you found this fragment of Elder Hong\'s soul and he\'s been teaching you this entire time, it\'s no wonder you\'re so strong."

Hong Long had been proud when he heard the way Mo Ze Chen had praised the Dragon Race and he even thought that it would help his case, but then he heard the latter half of what Mo Ze Chen said and he wanted to dig himself into a hole.

Him teaching Lin Fan?

Was this kid even listening to the same conversation?

Hong Long gave an awkward cough as he said, "Kid, you\'re mistaken. I\'m not the one teaching him, he has a master that\'s far beyond me. What were you listening to the entire time?"

Mo Ze Chen was once again surprised, but he became excited very quickly.

This was a master that even Hong Long acknowledged as being beyond him, just what kind of master was that?

Mo Ze Chen came up to Lin Fan and said with sparkling eyes, "Boss, the greatest decision in my life was choosing to follow you! I promise that I will follow you to the ends of the earth!"

Lulu didn\'t really understand what was going on, but she could tell that Lin Fan seemed very important right now, so she also came forward and said, "Savior, I knew that you were our savior from the moment I saw you! Please guide us to prosperity!"

Lin Fan looked at the two of them and while he seemed calm on the surface, he was bitterly laughing deep down.

When he was about to say something, there was a knock that came from the door.
