Chapter 463 Supplication of the Dragon King

y morning, he followed Zhao Guang into the house quietly.Lu Linlin and Lu Lili also entered silently.Zhao Hongyu sat watching TV on the sofa; upon hearing them enter, she quickly got up to greet them....Chapter 463: The Dragon King's Plea

"This..." Zhao Guang was slightly hesitant.

"Ah Ren, go and bring Rainia over." Zhao Hongyu turned to Hao Ren and said.

"Sure," Hao Ren replied smoothly. He walked to the door leading from the living room to the backyard, grabbed Xiaobai out of the芥子空間, pulled a red barrier, and flew off swiftly on Xiaobai’s back.

The Grand Elder of Jade Emperor Mountain had seen Hao Ren's Snow Lion during the examination in the Dragon God Temple and didn't show any surprise. However, some other Elders as well as the three Dragon Kings were somewhat surprised to see Hao Ren riding a妖獸.

Truly worthy of the Eastern Sea Dragon Palace, capable even of taming靈獸—quite formidable... Thinking this, those three Dragon Kings simultaneously picked up their tea cups and used drinking tea to conceal the astonishment on their faces.

Hao Ren was a regional inspector in Donghai City, naturally able to fly through the air. From Zhao Yanzi's home to his own home, with Xiaobai flying at full speed, it took nearly no time at all.

Xiaobai circled around behind the seaside villa and Hao Ren approached the window of Xie Yujia’s room, seeing her bent over studying.

She was wearing green pajamas and little slippers; her freshly washed hair draped on both sides of her face, exuding a gentle and quiet demeanor.

Dong-dong dong

Hao Ren tapped gently at the window.

Xie Yujia turned around in puzzlement, seeing Hao Ren outside the window with some surprise. She hurried over to open it.

"Ah Zi Mom wants you to go to her place. The sect of the cultivator you saved last time has come to thank you. If you don’t want to go, that’s fine," said Hao Ren while sitting on Xiaobai's back in mid-air.

“It’s okay, I’ll go and take a look,” Xie Yujia put down her pen, then looked at the clothes she was wearing. "I—"

She wanted to change into another set of clothes but Hao Ren was right outside her window…

"Yujia, come out for a moment," Xiaobai hovered outside Xie Yujia’s window and Hao Ren knocked on it.

“Ah,” Hao Ren suddenly realized, tugged at Xiaobai's ear to change direction, turning his back towards the window of Xie Yujia’s room.

Xie Yujia blushed a bit and pulled up her curtains. After some rustling sounds for several minutes, she carefully opened the window and climbed onto the windowsill.

She had changed into clean white shirt and jeans, looking fresh and natural.

Hao Ren reached out to grab her arms and lifted Xie Yujia from the windowsill to Xiaobai's back. Xie Yujia’s room was on the ground floor with a small garden outside the window, but it was still some distance off the ground.

"Be careful…" Hao Ren steadied her shoulders and directly scooped up Xie Yujia into his embrace.

Her body was soft yet unlike Zhao Yanzi’s delicate feel. It conveyed a sense of maturity mixed with youth.

"It's okay now…" Xie Yujia sat in front of Hao Ren and gently removed his hands, her face slightly flushed.

She knew Hao Ren well but… she still wasn’t comfortable letting him touch her body.

Hao Ren awkwardly withdrew his arms, wanting to explain but realizing it would be meaningless. Moreover… taking Xie Yujia out of the window had a somewhat secretive feel to it. In fact, Hao Ren just didn't want to go through the front door and face inquiries from Grandma.

"Cough, little White, go to Ah Zi's place," Hao Ren gave Xiao Bai a pat on the butt.

Xiao Bai whimpered in complaint and shot off towards Zhao Yanzi’s home.

Dong

Xiao Bai landed in the small courtyard behind Zhao Yanzi’s house.

The three Dragon Kings had just taken a sip of tea when Hao Ren brought Xie Yujia over. The speed and efficiency amazed them secretly – the flying speed of beasts was indeed impressive.

"Uncle, Aunt…" Following Hao Ren from the back door, Xie Yujia’s cheeks were slightly flushed as she greeted Zhao Guang and Zhao Hongyu.

Zhao Yanzi saw Xie Yujia appear and let out a light snort.

“Yujia, come here…” Zhao Hongyu warmly stood up, pulling Xie Yujujia to the center of the living room and introducing her in turn to the three Dragon Kings.

Xie Yujia had no concept of the Dragon Palace; she merely saw them as senior cultivators, respectful and polite.

However, these three Dragon Kings, including those accompanying elders and disciples, did not expect that the alchemist from the East Sea Dragon Palace would be such a young girl. The gap in their expectations caused some uncontainable surprise to show on their faces.

In their thoughts, an alchemist capable of concocting a Fourth-Rank pill wouldn't necessarily have white hair and rosy cheeks or be ethereal and wise like a hermit; however, they at least expected the person to be a venerable senior with hundreds of years of cultivation experience.

The Jade Emperor Mountain’s Senior Elder had seen Xie Yujia before. But he never imagined that the young girl who accompanied the East Sea Dragon King during their battle was actually the supreme alchemist of the East Sea Dragon Palace.

Amidst their surprise, they took a closer look at Xie Yujia. She was polite and beautiful—nothing to be said about these—but she didn’t emanate any aura associated with dragon pills from her body.

Might she already be close to the level of Heaven Earth…

The three Dragon Kings smiled warmly while exchanging glances at each other.

“She shouldn't be a dragon clan cultivator,” Heavenly Dragon Wang Ying Tian said softly.

Clement Cloud Dragon Wang and Green Leaf Dragon Wang were slightly surprised but immediately thought that the East Sea Dragon Palace had excellent means, managing to gather alchemists outside of the dragon clan into the East Sea.

Seeing their three mutual looks, Zhao Hongyu reminded them with a hint: "Clement Cloud Dragon King…"

"Oh right," Clement Cloud Dragon Wang quickly reacted and took out a box from his ring. He chuckled while looking at Xie Yujia, “Jade Emperor Mountain is barren land with nothing special to offer, but these six blood ginsengs are in repayment for your pill gift.”

Xie Yujia hesitantly took the box from Clement Cloud Dragon Wang’s hand and opened it curiously.

Six blood-red mountain ginseng roots were neatly arranged inside, looking somewhat fierce-looking.

However, Zhao Guang was secretly alarmed; the value of these six blood ginsengs might even exceed those boxes of treasures.

The Clement Cloud Dragon King of Jade Emperor Mountain said that Jade Emperor Mountain is barren land, which was just a polite expression. In fact, Jade Emperor Mountain is a fertile area in the southwestern region with abundant spiritual materials and specialty products.

While the East Sea Dragon Palace occupies the East Sea and possesses countless treasures such as coral, the Wood Dragon lineage of Jade Emperor Mountain controls not only Jade Emperor Mountain but also several canyons around it. There are many mountain delicacies here too.

Sandalwood is a specialty of Jade Emperor Mountain, while blood ginseng is a specialty among specialties—its importance equates to the Western Sea’s West Sea Mystic Ice.

The Dragon King Ci Yun had just mentioned a few small gifts, but in fact, they were far from trivial. These blood ginsengs that took at least a thousand years to grow such a deep red color are treasures that one can hardly obtain even by begging.

Xie Yujia was holding the box and somewhat at a loss.

"Yujia, since it's out of the Dragon King Ci Yun’s good intentions, you should accept them," Zhao Hongyu said.

"Thank you, Your Majesty." Xie Yujia smiled sweetly and put the box in her own ring.

During this period of time, she had also seen many diagrams of spirit herbs, but she had never seen such a red ginseng before. Therefore, it was difficult for her to assess the value of these six pieces of ginseng.

In fact, these blood ginsengs were inferior only to the ten best materials in the world and belonged to the fifth-grade spirit herbs. Due to their rarity, they were almost extinct, which is why Zhen Cunming didn't include them in his book on spirit herb diagrams.

That was also why Xie Yujia hadn’t shown Zhao Guang the three materials she had collected from Kunlun Mountain. Otherwise, when Zhao Guang saw these three spirit herbs, he would definitely be even more shocked.

The concept of a sixth-grade spirit herb is that there are very few such herbs in the entire world. The Heavenly Snow Lotus cultivated by Tianshan Sect alone was enough to make it stand out among the six layers of heaven, proving the value of a sixth-grade spirit herb.

"Humph..."

Just now, Zhao Yanzi had been very excited, but seeing Dragon King Ci Yun giving gifts to Xie Yujia made her feel somewhat envious.

"I have another favor to ask…"

The dragon king hesitated for a few seconds before continuing.

He called himself "in this," lowering his status, deeply expressing respect for the fourth-grade alchemist.

A fourth-grade alchemist might only be considered an honored guest in Donghai Dragon Palace, but in some small forces, they were worshipped.

Jade Emperor Mountain had rich land resources, but its power was still inferior to that of Donghai Dragon Palace.

"Please say," Xie Yujia also respected him.

The faces of the two other dragon kings standing beside Ci Yun were becoming serious.

Zhao Hongyu's expression became more serious as well. In fact, she thought that three dragon kings coming to visit Donghai Dragon Palace wouldn't be just about communicating emotions so simply.

Zhao Guang naturally felt this too and therefore carefully watched the three dragon kings before him. Donghai Dragon Palace’s assistance to the Jade Emperor Mountain branch of wood cultivators in the Imperial Dragon Temple's exam was certainly something that could earn their gratitude, but it wouldn't be enough to make Ci Yun invite two other dragon kings along with him to Donghai City to express thanks.

"Our Wood Dragon lineage has a special connection with spirit herbs and trees, so we have some involvement in alchemy. However, the Wood Dragon cultivators still need to diligently cultivate, so our proficiency in alchemy is not very deep," Ci Yun gazed at Xie Yujia as he slowly said, "Now, the Jade Emperor Mountain's Wood Dragon lineage wishes to maintain a cordial relationship with Donghai Dragon Palace for generations. I wonder if your Excellency can brew one elixir"

Upon hearing the true purpose of Ci Yun’s visit, Zhao Hongyu secretly let out a sigh of relief.

A few boxes full of treasures and six matured blood ginsengs were expensive gifts. In terms of value, they weren’t inferior to Xie Yujia's previous use of the Life Creation Pill on Jade Emperor Mountain—except that Life Creation Pills are rare and have no market price.

Their grandiose visit with such generous gifts was bound to come with a request. Knowing what their intention was, Zhao Hongyu could rest easy.

"This…"

When faced with this situation, Xie Yujia didn’t know how to handle it. She had always taken the pills she made herself or kept them for Hao Ren. As for others coming in person and seeking a pill so solemnly, she hadn't encountered such a case before. Moreover, considering that they were dragon kings involving other dragon palaces, rashly agreeing seemed unwise.

She glanced at Hao Ren, Hao Ren glanced at Zhao Hongyu, and Zhao Hongyu glanced back at Zhao Guang.

Compared to the distant Jade Emperor Mountain, Xie Yujia belonged to the Dragon Palace of the East Sea. Whether or not to煉丹 should be decided by Zhao Guang.

The Benevolent Cloud Dragon King of Jade Emperor Mountain looked somewhat embarrassed.

He had sent several boxes of valuable gifts as a token of gratitude for the Dragon Palace of the East Sea's assistance and also as an introduction to the alchemist he wished them to recommend.

But unexpectedly, this alchemist actually belonged to the Dragon Palace of the East Sea, and whether or not to煉丹 was still up to Zhao Guang. As a result, the Benevolent Cloud Dragon King felt even more that the Dragon Palace of the East Sea was weighty in his estimation.

"I wonder what kind of medicinal pill the Benevolent Cloud Dragon King wants to煉製" Zhao Guang said.

His voice was particularly steady, and this sound fell into the Benevolent Cloud Dragon King's ears, making him suddenly feel that the Dragon Palace of the East Sea indeed had weight.

"It is a Fourth Rank Spring Reviving Pill. The materials are all prepared. I only hope to borrow the alchemist from your palace to help煉製."

Since this Fourth Rank Alchemist was not what he imagined, a free alchemist being brought on board by the Dragon Palace of the East Sea who could be directly requested for assistance, then the Benevolent Cloud Dragon King had no choice but to talk directly with Zhao Guang.

"Yujia, what do you think" Zhao Guang turned his head and asked Xie Yujia in a very kind tone.

"Fourth Rank Pill. Then I'll give it a try," said Xie Yujia as she nodded her head.

“Then we thank you.” The Benevolent Cloud Dragon King was overjoyed and took out a small golden box the size of his palm from his ring, placing it solemnly in Xie Yujia's palm.

The Fourth Rank Spring Reviving Pill was a well-known spirit pill within Layered Heaven. Its function was to extend one’s lifespan; as long as the quality of the materials was good, the Spring Reviving Pills煉製出來至少可以延長一百年的壽命，對於一些年邁的龍族修士來說，也許就是最關鍵的百年。

The Wood Dragon Palace on Jade Emperor Mountain enjoyed a high reputation in southwestern areas, but the Benevolent Cloud Dragon King was already six hundred years old. At his current Level 5 cultivation level, he was approaching the limit of his lifespan. His eldest son was only around three hundred and thirty years old and still striving to break through to Level 5; neither in authority nor capability did they measure up.

But if he could extend another hundred years to his lifespan, even though there would likely be no further breakthroughs on the cultivation level, it would buy time for his son's cultivation progress and allow him a chance to take charge of the Wood Dragon Palace on Jade Emperor Mountain.

Hence, this Spring Reviving Pill actually related to the stability and development of the Wood Dragon line on Jade Emperor Mountain.

"A month later, I will visit the Dragon Palace of the East Sea again; at that time, I hope the alchemist can successfully煉製."

Yujia moved her lips as if to speak. The Benevolent Cloud Dragon King mistook it for Yujia wanting to back out and hastily took out a thumb-sized jade tripod from his ring.

He recited an incantation, causing the jade tripod resembling a mobile phone trinket in his hand to gradually grow bigger.

The Benevolent Cloud Dragon King then placed it on the floor, and before long, the jade tripod had grown as big as both hands clasped together.

"This is Medicine King Tripod. It's also one of our Jade Emperor Mountain’s treasures. The alchemist can use this jade tripod to煉丹; the effect should be better."

Yujia looked at the jade tripod and then the Benevolent Cloud Dragon King, still wanting to speak.

The Benevolent Cloud Dragon King suddenly waved his hand towards Zhao Guang. "The favor of your Eastern Sea Dragon Palace is deeply remembered by Jade Emperor Mountain. Should the Eastern Sea Dragon Palace ever need help in the future, Jade Emperor Mountain will definitely provide all-out assistance."

Refining a Fourth Rank Pill was not an easy task. The Benevolent Cloud Dragon King firmly believed that the Eastern Sea Dragon Palace would offer help and was afraid that Xie Yujia might back out at the last minute; he disregarded decorum, turned around, and prepared to leave.

Seeing the Benevolent Cloud Dragon King about to step out of the door, Xie Yujia finally said, "Elder, there's no need for a month. If you're patient enough, wait a short while; I'll be able to give you the medicine in half an hour.生們輕聲地議論起來。餘榮在郝仁這裡碰了一鼻子灰，無趣得很，立刻湊過去，“我知道！就是那個眼睛是金色的那個吧！我在電視上看到過。長得還算可以，不過跟我比就差了點！”Eyes are golden 郝仁停下手裡的筆，豎起耳朵。他提高了自己的聽覺敏銳度，不僅把餘榮的談話都聽了進去，也聽到了前麵那些女生們的議論。"That Qin Shaoyang is said to be really handsom...
