According to the memories of the Samsara Martial Emperor:
Dragons evolve from "Jiaolong" (flood dragons).
Jiaolong, in turn, evolve from "pythons."
Once a python grows a "fleshy bump" on the top of its head, it means it has begun to evolve into a "Jiaolong."
When the bump splits open and dragon horns emerge, it has become a fully formed "Jiaolong"!
Although a Jiaolong is still far inferior to a true "dragon," its body already flows with "half-dragon blood."
Half-dragon blood is also dragon blood!
It meets the criteria for refining "Dragon Blood Pills."
"This little guy also had a fleshy bump on its head before. It later split open, which is how this sharp 'golden horn' appeared... If the memories of the Samsara Martial Emperor are correct, this little guy is no longer a mere python, but a 'Jiaolong'!"
Duan Lingtian stared at the little black snake with burning eyes, wishing he could draw its blood right now...
