Chapter 781 - 658: Stirring, Hatching the Egg
"If you truly want to obtain this Frozen Cold Water, the biggest challenge is to rescue the son of the Elder Dragon Demon. And to save the son of the Elder Dragon Demon, the first thing to do is to bring him out from the egg."
At this point, Li Ruofeng showed a hint of bitterness on his face, indicating that this method is very difficult.
Upon hearing this, Qin An also furrowed his brows tightly.
He initially thought it was another matter or that there were other difficulties he had to undertake.
But he hadn’t expected that the counterpart would actually require the creature inside this egg to hatch first.
Hatching an egg?
He had never hatched an egg before, and for such a task, isn’t it more suitable to find a mother dragon?
This Dragon Demon has stayed in the egg for so long without ever hatching it, how could he possibly hatch it?
Moreover, this Dragon Demon is male, how could a male hatch an egg.
The Dragon Demon sighed deeply and said, "Mr. Qin, I’ve seen your expression, do you also find it unbelievable?"
"Indeed, I also find it unbelievable. The difficulty of this task lies in hatching the egg, and since I am a male Dragon Demon, only a female Dragon Demon can hatch it. But where can I find a female Dragon Demon?"
Qin An pondered, "If it’s just about finding a female Dragon Demon, that can certainly be done, as there are many such creatures within Dragon Demon factions."
Speaking from experience, Qin An had once exterminated a Dragon Demon nest during a mission, showcasing the abundance of such creatures.
Given Cyan Cloud Taoist Temple’s power, finding a female Dragon Demon to hatch the egg should be effortless.
If that’s truly the case, then the difficulty would be eliminated.
But when Qin An suggested this, the Dragon Demon provided another perspective.
"Finding a Dragon Demon with the same power as mine is extremely challenging. Only a Dragon Demon with similar power can hatch this egg."
"The complexities within are vast, and I don’t want to explain them to Mr. Qin. Even if I did, Mr. Qin may not understand. Mr. Qin only needs to know that to hatch the egg, it requires someone of my realm."
"I belong to the Manifest Saint Realm, finding another Dragon Demon of the same realm is as hard as reaching the heavens."
Qin An finally understood the Dragon Demon’s point.
Finding a female Dragon Demon is easy, but if it involves issues of realm, it truly becomes difficult.
The Manifest Saint Realm, even in the Daqian Kingdom, is considered exceptionally powerful, akin to finding a needle in a haystack.
Other creatures might reach the Manifest Saint Realm, but to specifically find a female Dragon Demon of this realm, and with such power, is too demanding.
Qin An stroked his chin and deliberated, "Is there any other method besides this one?"
He believed there should be other means, but as to what those are, it depended on Li Ruofeng’s intentions.
Li Ruofeng had raised the topic, perhaps hinting there’s more than one solution.
Li Ruofeng raised a finger and said, "The second method is more difficult. This Dragon Demon egg has been incapable of hatching due to its Yin-cold properties."
"If we can create an environment of extreme Yang, perhaps under the balance of Yin and Yang, the elder Dragon Demon can hatch the egg."
"However, finding such an environment is incredibly difficult, and even if we do, we can’t take it out."
"Once it leaves the cold pond, even with the protective power of Frozen Cold Water, it wouldn’t survive."
"Even leaving the cold pond for a short period, without finding an extreme Yang environment quickly, the Dragon Demon inside would perish completely."
Upon hearing this, Qin An fell into prolonged silence.
While the first method holds a slight glimmer of possibility, with persistent search potentially revealing a Manifest Saint Realm female Dragon Demon, and somehow hatching the egg, the second method is exceedingly difficult, almost hopeless.
Once the Dragon Demon egg leaves the cold pool, it enters a slow death, and finding a suitable environment promptly becomes impossible.
Even if a Yin-Yang balanced area is found far from Cyan Cloud Taoist Temple, taking the egg there still wouldn’t save it.
They couldn’t possibly bring such a scene to this place.
For now, the second method appears immensely more challenging than the first.
However, Qin An thought of a potential solution.
Qin An lifted his head, his gaze sweeping over the Dragon Demon and Li Ruofeng, displaying a hint of contemplation in his eyes.
This expression caught by both Li Ruofeng and the Dragon Demon, revealed their mutual surprise.
The Dragon Demon spoke first, "Mr. Qin, do you perhaps have a solution?"
Having lived for countless years, their skill in observing expressions was exceptional.
Qin An didn’t respond verbally but remained thoughtful, suggesting he might have an answer.
Hope rose in the Dragon Demon’s heart.
Li Ruofeng also showed curiosity, "If Mr. Qin has a method, please share it, we can try anything to save the elder Dragon Demon’s child."
"It would compensate for the elder Dragon Demon’s contributions to the Daqian Kingdom, you could obtain Frozen Cold Water, removing toxins from Manifest Saint relics, and making use of these relics."
If the Dragon Demon egg could indeed be saved, Cyan Cloud Taoist Temple’s influence would greatly increase.
