Chapter 84 The White Dragon Who Shatters All Illusions!
Yu Xiao sells dragon eggs, so he should have some basic knowledge about dragons.
There is a lot of information available on the Internet regarding the Eastern Divine Dragon, and many different accounts exist.
According to the mythology of the Great Xia Dynasty, there was actually more than one dragon that was associated with coldness.
The White Dragon is associated with the West, belongs to the element of metal in the Five Elements theory, and is said to be either the River God or the River Lord, or to control the flow of water throughout the world.
The Black Dragon is associated with the North and corresponds to the element of Water in the Five Elements theory. Legend has it that it is the prototype of Gonggong, or Gonggong's mount, and that it can control the floods that affect the world.
The Chilong has no horns, and there are all sorts of interpretations. In some ancient texts, the Chilong is said to control clouds and rain, while in others, it is said to exhale icy breath.
Yu Xiao also didn't quite understand.
However, Chen Jianfa's words confirmed Yu Xiao's suspicions.
This must be a native of Great Xia, simply out of curiosity about dragon eggs!
What a joke! How could someone who isn't from the Great Xia Dynasty know about its legends?
"No problem, Mr. Chen, please wait a moment while I contact someone else to have the dragon egg delivered."
Thinking of this, Yu Xiao nodded readily.
...
After making a perfunctory phone call, Yu Xiao placed his phone on the table and closed his eyes.
"The Lord is cold..."
Looking at the densely packed dragon eggs in his consciousness space, Yu Xiao felt a bit conflicted.
In the Five Elements, the black dragon represents water, and its other name is the True Lord of Water Virtue, who can control the flow of water throughout the world.
The White Dragon represents the West and belongs to the element of Metal. Although some ancient texts describe the White Dragon as being able to control the flow of water, in the era of the Heavenly Emperor, the White Dragon controlled the rivers of the world, leaning more towards warfare and killing.
One branch of the Chilong lives in the deepest abyss and can breathe out icy air, while another branch possesses the supernatural power to control clouds and rain.
However, based on the host's requirements, the black dragon is the most suitable.
The Black Dragon, associated with the North and winter, belongs to the Water element and symbolizes cold, the abyss, and the power of concealment.
As described in ancient texts such as the Classic of Mountains and Seas and the Guangyi Ji, the Black Dragon mostly dwells in the North Sea and the Frozen Abyss. When it emerges, it brings howling winds and snow, freezing everything in its path and dominating the cold, yin energy of heaven and earth.
The Huainanzi records that when Nuwa mended the sky, she "cut off the legs of a giant tortoise to support the four poles and killed a black dragon to save Jizhou."
In the feng shui of the Great Xia Dynasty, the black dragon symbolizes the suppression of evil spirits, the protection of yin and yang balance, the devouring of evil spirits, the cleansing of turbid energy, and the blessing of peace.
Therefore, considering all the host's requirements, the Black Dragon is the most suitable.
"A black dragon?"
Yu Xiao was stunned when he saw the pop-up data panel.
blinked.
"What about the white dragon?"
Yu Xiao asked.
The White Dragon, associated with the west and autumn, belongs to the metal element in the Five Elements theory, and symbolizes purity, tranquility, and justice.
The White Dragon is more inclined to control the rivers of the world than to control the currents of the water.
Furthermore, in the era of the Heavenly Emperor, the white dragon symbolized judgment more often.
In the feng shui and Taoist culture of the Great Xia Dynasty, the white dragon symbolizes clarity, integrity, and the elimination of evil and the promotion of righteousness. There is also a saying that "the white dragon rides a sword to slay demons."
If the black dragon symbolizes peace, then the white dragon symbolizes warding off evil.
A data panel pops up.
Yu Xiao understood.
When it comes to playing in the water, the black dragon is far superior to the white dragon.
However, the black dragon egg is a bit strange...
Furthermore, one advantage of selling dragon eggs is the ability to receive feedback from dragon descendants.
Do I need peace of mind?
What a joke! With his current strength, who could possibly threaten him?
After thinking for a while, Yu Xiao quickly made a decision.
...
More than half an hour later.
[Host, do you decide to purchase the White Dragon Egg?]

Looking at the data panel, Yu Xiao still felt conflicted.
The good news is that he can fly now, and he can walk at high altitudes without relying on teleportation.
However, Yu Xiao was a little confused by the ability of the "Dragon Eyes". What does it mean to see through disguise?
Finally, what the heck is this "good triumphs over evil"?
There are no evil spirits on Earth...
I hesitated for a moment.
"Oh well, at least I gained the ability to fly..."
Yu Xiao picked up the white dragon egg from the ground and then pushed open the bathroom door.
Yu Xiao walked out of the coffee shop's restroom and down the corridor.
"What? There's an egg this big in the bathroom?"
"What kind of egg is this? It's half a person's height, and so white!"
"Big and white... I can tell it's a good one!"
"Where did this guy find such a white egg?"
"This egg is so big, could it be an ostrich egg?"
"Are your ostrich eggs as tall as half a person?"
"It's probably just some kind of movie prop... Look, an egg that big should be quite heavy, but look at that guy, he's not even out of breath..."
"Yeah... I guess they're filming Jurassic World 5..."
"Where are the cameras? Will I ever be able to appear in a movie again?"
The passersby looked at each other, their faces filled with curiosity.
Such a big, white egg must be some kind of movie prop, right?
However, Yu Xiao ignored these comments.
After carrying the white dragon egg to the corridor exit.
Yu Xiao looked around for a moment, then walked towards Chen Jianfa.
When we were still more than 30 meters away from the table.
[Official Name: Chen Jianfa]
[Official identity: Wealthy businessman of Donghai City, major shareholder of Donghai Steel Group, representative of Donghai City]
[Real Name: Nara Tomoki]
[True Identity: A close confidant of the Foreign Minister of Japan, former Director of the Ministry of Home Affairs of Japan, and one of the glove manufacturers of the Mitsubishi Group]
"?"
Yu Xiao stopped and blinked.
What the hell? Holy crap, you're not from Great Xia?
Damn, I was just wondering what this [Dragon Eye] was, and now it's come in handy?
I thought about it.
Yu Xiao pursed his lips and continued walking forward.
...
When Chen Jianfa saw Yu Xiao carrying the dragon egg out from afar, he was still somewhat surprised and doubtful.
After all, he had never seen such a big egg before.
The key is that it's very white.
It is whiter than a blank sheet of paper illuminated by white light.
"Is it really a white dragon?"
Do dragons really exist?
Chen Jianfa was filled with doubt and unease.
If that's true... then according to what Tian Zhengzhuan said before, the first buyer of the dragon egg was the Great Xia government...
Baka! The Great Xia already has a juvenile true dragon as a strategic weapon!
The more he thought about it, the angrier he became, and the more he longed for the dragon egg.
When Yu Xiao walked to the table.
"Is this a dragon egg? Seeing is believing!"
"In that case, I'm willing to pay 5000 million to buy it..."
Chen Jianfa quickly stood up, looked at Yu Xiao, and spoke earnestly.
However, Chen Jianfa had not finished speaking.
"Not for sale."
Yu Xiao uttered two words in a low voice.
Without offering any explanation, Yu Xiao walked towards the door.
"?"
Chen Jian stared blankly at Yu Xiao's figure walking straight towards the door.
...
Yu Xiao placed the white dragon egg on the back seat of his car.
"Should we sell this egg to the government or what?"
Looking at the white dragon egg in his line of sight, Yu Xiao stroked his chin.
Initially, Yu Xiao really didn't intend to raise dragons himself.
After all, the energy expenditure is truly terrifying.
Few people can afford to earn 500,000 a day; without a net worth of 100 million, you could go bankrupt in no time.
But things are different now.
Yu Xiao is not short of money now, and he is certain that he has a steady stream of legally obtained money.
Then many problems will be easily solved.
"Just keep it at home."
Yu Xiao thought for a moment and took out his phone from his pocket.
