Chapter 13 Canglan Peak 3
Chapter 13 Canglan Peak 3
Since she got a resurrection point, her master has been less strict with her, and studying at the Seven Peaks of the Inner Sect has been put on the agenda.
However, since the items prepared for the resurrection ceremony of the Gong brothers, Gong Cheng and Gong Yu, were not yet complete, their two masters still hoped that the three of them could be together so that they could take care of each other. For the time being, Cheng Jiu would remain at Canglan Peak.
Cheng Jiu discovered something very interesting. As mentioned before, there were no animals in the rainforest where she lived, but there were animals in the snow mountain where her master lived.
Practicing swordsmanship in the snow is also a good way to train. As she wielded her sword, a wisp of sword energy flashed by, seemingly hitting something.
She ran over and saw that it was a snow-white rabbit. The rabbit was smaller than a regular rabbit, about the size of two palms, but it tasted even better than a Flame Rabbit.
It's icy cold and melts in your mouth after being rinsed with water. The refreshing, invigorating energy flows through your body from your dantian, creating an indescribable smooth sensation.
I asked my master, and he said it was a snow rabbit, which was nurtured by the icy spiritual energy between heaven and earth and only lived in icy areas.
As for the snow rabbit she caught, it was probably brought back by his master's contracted beast!
Cheng Jiu was surprised to find that her master actually had a natal contracted beast, which she had never seen even once in the year she had been his disciple.
His master took him to see the beast, which turned out to be an ice dragon. It had shrunk and was coiled in a cave. Its scales were crystal clear, and even with its eyes slightly closed, one could sense its ferocious aura.
But how could a purebred Chinese not like dragons?
I especially like this ice dragon even more because it's a purebred Chinese dragon.
Lord Qingxu also noticed her affection and looked at his dragon with some pity: "Xuanze, you should take good care of Xiao Jiu from now on."
Xuanze felt her gaze and felt like a naked girl being spied on.
He exhaled a breath of cold air onto Venerable Qingxu. "This is your disciple. Why should I take care of him? Let me tell you, although I am your contracted beast, it doesn't mean I am your babysitter."
But when Xuanze met Qingxu Venerable's gaze, he slowly withered. Proud dragons are generally not bound by human contracts, so why was Xuanze bound by Qingxu Venerable?
According to Xuanze, it was a bright afternoon when this terrifying man suddenly barged into Longyuan, saying he wanted to find an ice dragon to form a contract with.
The bigwigs in Longyuan naturally disagreed, and Xuanze disagreed even more; he would not allow his descendants to be bound by human contracts.
At that time, all the dragons in Longyuan came out, and the other side spent a whole night defeating them all.
Like a nightmare, the dragons in Dragon Abyss have completely lost face.
Lord Qingxu was very satisfied with Xuanze, who was the youngest among the ninth-rank dragons and had the purest true dragon bloodline.
If nothing unexpected happens, the dragon race will have an ice dragon chieftain.
But something unexpected happened. At first, Xuanze fought back desperately. Then he got beaten up.
Even now, Xuanze doesn't want to think about it; it's a nightmare-like memory.
After Qingxu Zunjun beat him half to death, he forced him to drink medicine and brought him back to life.
Then they asked him if he was willing to make a contract with them. He said no, so they beat him up again, and this went on several times.
The cruelty of the methods was so great that even the dragons in Longyuan were moved to tears, urging him to give in, as it was far too tragic.
As Master Qingxu said, you can only know if a melon that is forced to ripen is sweet by twisting it off and tasting it.
Xuanze then formed a contract with Qingxu Venerable. The dragons in Longyuan were quite understanding and admiring of him, for he could persist for so long before finally forming a contract with the other party. He was a true man.
So why did the dragon beast that traded its heart's blood with Venerable Qingxu refuse to let Venerable Qingxu exchange it for the elixir it had refined during the resurrection ceremony?
Because Qingxu Venerable had made a contract with Xuanze, he felt he couldn't treat his people this way, and every dragon had been fed pills by him.
They all knew how awful the pills refined by Venerable Qingxu were; several dragons had even vomited from them.
The master was stronger than the spirit beast, so Xuanze didn't have many opportunities to display its power.
Moreover, he was beaten into submission; it wasn't his own choice, so his enthusiasm wasn't high.
He usually stays here to sleep, and Qingxu Zunjun will call him when he needs him.
Cheng Jiu became curious: why didn't his master use the ice dragon? Why did he make a contract with it?
Qingxu Venerable Lord said that sometimes when he flew over, it wasn't very impressive, so he needed a spirit beast to make a good impression.
Moreover, most of those who have passed the Tribulation stage have their own spirit beasts. In some big events, they usually make their entrance with their own spirit beasts, which is impressive and cool.
Cheng Jiu saw his master's spirited appearance when he was young in it.
Given his current calm and collected nature, he probably wouldn't go out of his way to form a contract with a spirit beast.
Master agreed and allowed Xuanze to play with him.
Cheng Jiu was certainly very interested; she wanted to ride a dragon, and who could refuse a big dragon?
After all, she was his master's disciple, so his request wasn't unreasonable. Xuanze then took her for a few walks around Canglan Peak.
Cheng Jiu was incredibly excited, as if he had driven a Maserati supercar in modern society, and had been playing around for most of the day. He was still reluctant to get off Xuan Ze.
She decided that she would also form a contract with a dragon in the future!
With Xuanze by her side, Canglan Peak was no longer boring for her.
I get up at 8 a.m. to practice swordsmanship, and after that, I'll learn some wood-attribute spells, since wood-attribute spells are really useful in environments like rainforests.
Then she went to give Xuanze a bath, even though he didn't really need it, since he was a ninth-grade spirit beast.
But Cheng Jiu wanted to touch Longlong!
Xuanze couldn't take it anymore under Cheng Jiu's meticulous care.
He wasn't exactly a refined dragon; he usually just liked to coil up on the mountain and sleep.
For it, Cheng Jiu was just too much trouble. Coming like this every day was really too much for it to bear!
A month later, Cheng Jiu came to visit Xuan Ze again, only to be hit squarely by a little dragon that Xuan Ze had somehow acquired.
Dragons are generally very large, and this little dragon, which may have been born not long ago, is over two meters long and is a beautiful little black dragon.
Her scales were like black jade, and she was still making babyish, squealing noises.
Unlike Xuanze's majestic and domineering presence, Xiaolong is more delicate and adorable.
"This dragon is the illegitimate son of the Dragon Emperor. Its mother was a beautiful pink mist dragon, and her Daoist partner was a white dragon. As a result, its mother laid three eggs. The first two were mist dragons and white dragons, and the last one was this, a black dragon."
Among the dragons, the Xuan dragon is currently the most revered, and there is only one Xuan dragon. Its father is self-evident.
The White Dragon stormed the Dragon Palace gates and fought the Dragon Emperor, while the Dragon Queen beat up the Mist Dragon. However, the White Dragon and the Dragon Emperor felt sorry for the Dragon Queen and stopped her.
The Dragon Queen was enraged and fought with the White Dragon and the Dragon Emperor, and the fight has not stopped.
I was planning to go to Longyuan to pick out a cub for you, and you could take care of it and not bother me.
This just so happened. The White Dragon didn't want this child, and the Dragon Queen couldn't accept it either.
No dragon wanted this cub, so I brought it back. You can form a contract with it. Its mother and father are both exceptionally talented, and their bloodline is pure. Don't worry, you won't regret it.
Cheng Jiu ate a dragon melon, nodded blankly, and thought, "Uh, the dragon race's sexuality is indeed explosive."
"Alright, take this little dragon back and don't bother me again."
"If you bother me again, even if you're Qingxu's disciple, I'll still beat you up." Xuanze used his tail to grab the man and the dragon and threw them away.
Despite their apparent rudeness, Cheng Jiu and Long felt as if the scenery had changed in an instant, and they were already in Cheng Jiu's courtyard.
The black dragon was unaware of its own attribute at first. Once it passed its juvenile stage and entered its sub-adult stage, it would gradually awaken its own attribute.
After the contract was formed between the man and the beast, the black dragon howled at Cheng Jiu, indicating that it was hungry.
Cheng Jiu was fed by her master; she didn't prepare anything for herself.
The food prepared when I came to Guiyuan Sect more than a year ago has long been used up.
At this point, she decisively sought out her master, and sure enough, her master was reliable; he somehow managed to obtain high-grade spirit beast milk.
The black dragon was happily drinking in the basin, its cute tail swaying back and forth.
After eating and drinking its fill, it let out a small burp, shrank, and slowly wrapped around Cheng Jiu's wrist, transforming into a bracelet made of black jade.
The bracelet was extremely lifelike, and the master was quite satisfied with the dragon she had contracted.
The dragon race, and with great potential. He even made a special trip to Dragon Abyss.
They looted a lot of Dragon Blood Fruit from the enemy's lair. This is one of the few that can enhance the bloodline of dragons, making it extremely precious.
Even the dragons are very careful in how they distribute these fruits.
As a result, this year we were wiped out by this demon, because of the shadow of a thousand years ago, we dared to be angry but dared not speak out.
Cheng Jiu didn't know this, but her master told her that eating this would be good for the little black dragon, so she fed it to him three times a day.
However, the little black dragon was quite resistant. According to what it conveyed through the spirit beast contract, this thing was good for it, but it was hard to eat.
If the dragons in Longyuan knew this, they would cry themselves to death in the toilet.
It must be understood that, given the Heavenly Dao's favor and restrictions on the dragon race, such treasures capable of enhancing the bloodline of true dragons are extremely rare.
The other party actually complained about the taste. So what if you have a powerful backer!
The dragon race places great importance on bloodlines, and this bloodline is not just the bloodline between relatives, but the bloodline of true dragons. Legend has it that there were true dragons and true phoenixes in ancient times.
They were incredibly powerful and favored by the Heavenly Dao, making them the rulers of the entire Xuantian Continent in ancient times.
Later, due to a turmoil, the true dragon and the true phoenix perished. Although the existing dragon and phoenix clans have their forms, they cannot be called true dragons and true phoenixes.
They can only be considered pseudo-dragons and pseudo-phoenixes. The specifics are no longer verifiable, but one thing is certain: dragons and phoenixes with purer bloodlines are indeed more favored by heaven and earth, and their strength is also greater.
At least now, the bloodlines of all the dragons in Longyuan with names and surnames are not low.
Therefore, if you want to form a contract with a dragon, its bloodline is very important. If the purity of the bloodline is low, it will be quite difficult to improve your cultivation.
Then if you form a contract with it, it won't be an aid to you; instead, it will limit your strength.
Having obtained a powerful contracted beast, Cheng Jiu naturally wanted to show it off to his friends.
Li Weixin felt a little jealous when she heard about how she obtained the black dragon. She knew that the dragon had always been number one on the list of the most desired spirit beasts in the cultivation world, and had never fallen from that position.
The way she got it was pure luck.
"I also want a Thunder Dragon, but unfortunately, even my master doesn't have one," Li Weixin said, expressing the spirit beast he longed for.
"Wake up, stop dreaming in broad daylight."
The Thunder Dragon is not a dragon, but a spirit dragon born from the heavens and earth, born by chance during a tribulation of lightning.
Born at the Tribulation Transcending Stage, such an existence is truly a darling of heaven and earth.
They will make a move as long as they are born into the Mahayana stage. A newbie like me might only be able to get a contract with them by sheer luck!
Moreover, the last time the Thunder Dragon appeared was ten thousand years ago.
"It's no big deal to think about it. Maybe I'll have that kind of luck," Li Wei said nonchalantly. "Can't people even dream?"
"I'll be going to Tifeng soon, are you still wandering around Leichi?" Cheng Jiu asked curiously, after all, he had been hearing about Leichi for a while now. It's been a year.
"I've broken through to the Golden Core stage! I'll be going to cultivate at the Dragon Abyss Sect's Body Peak afterward."
Li Weixin mentioned this with some frustration, referring to the two stages of Golden Core and Nascent Soul formation.
However, due to age limitations, the final form cannot exceed the age limit; he is only 8 years old now.
In other words, he will maintain this appearance until he is 8 years old, which is the Nascent Soul stage.
When they talked about this, the two of them remembered the Grand Elder of the Dragon Abyss Sect, who set a bad example for everyone in the cultivation world.
“I saw the Grand Elder. He is still nine years old, and even shorter than me.” Li Weixin gestured, but Cheng Jiu couldn’t see it. “Master said it’s best not to show off your height in front of the Grand Elder, or you’ll get beaten up.”
“I know that, which is why I’ve been suppressing my cultivation recently,” Cheng Jiu replied. “I plan to break through to the Golden Core stage when I’m 16.”
After all, if you start cultivating slowly after the age of 16, you can eventually break through to the Nascent Soul stage after you turn 18 or 20.
There's no need to worry about maintaining a child's appearance. Most people prefer to maintain their appearance into adulthood rather than in childhood.
For example, her master looks like he did in his youth.
That elder can be considered a chosen one of heaven.
He was said to be a Heavenly Spirit Body, born at the Foundation Establishment stage and reaching the Golden Core stage in less than two years. He didn't pay attention to it after that, and by the time his master wanted to mention it to him, he had already reached the Nascent Soul stage at the age of nine.
Now at six hundred years old, he has reached the Dao Integration Realm and become a sect elder. His swordsmanship is extremely fierce, and he has no rivals below the Tribulation Transcending Realm. He is respectfully called the Great Elder.
Unfortunately, he can only be fully formed again when he reaches the Tribulation Transcending stage, so although he is a Dao Integration Realm expert.
However, many people don't pay attention to him because of his appearance, and those who don't know him might mistake him for a child, so he himself takes this quite seriously.
Cheng Jiu and Li Weixin are the kind of people who don't want to be typecast as children.
"You're still betting? Have you forgotten the lesson you learned last time?" Li Weixin complained.
"It's not about pressure, it's about shortening the training time. I only train for one hour a day now, and spend the rest of the time practicing swordsmanship," Cheng Jiu explained.
"This method seems quite feasible," Li Weixin said, indicating that she had learned something.
"Master said there's another kind of Spirit-Sealing Jade, which will come in handy when we go to Body Peak for cultivation," Cheng Jiu said.
“I’m using the Spirit-Sealing Jade right now. I was a little unaccustomed to it at first, since using it makes you just like a mortal. But I’ll get used to it after a few days of training. If you want it, I’ll send someone to deliver it to you,” Li Wei thought to himself.
"Master, find it for me."
"You don't know that the Grand Elder is a jealous person. Last time, Master sent me to deliver Lei Duo Ling to the Sect Master."
The way he looked at me was terrifying.
I genuinely believed that the other party pursued the sect leader in order to get revenge on him for tricking him when he was young and causing him to break through to the Nascent Soul stage.
"I didn't expect the other party to actually like me," Li Weixin thought to herself.
"Master said that the Grand Elder is having a stress reaction, thinking that anyone can be attracted to the Sect Master, that pedophile."
“I heard that the relationship between these two people is quite complicated. I heard Master say that he deserved it when he talked about your Grand Elder before,” Cheng Jiu said.
"You don't know that the last time I passed by the sect leader's peak, I saw the sect leader throw out the Grand Elder."
The people on the main peak were almost used to it. I asked Senior Brother Chang about it before, but he said I shouldn't ask around, or I'd easily get beaten up by the Grand Elder.
Li Weixin said, "Later I got him drunk, and it turned out he didn't even know it himself."
The entanglement between the two started quite early; Senior Brother Chang was only accepted as a disciple after the sect leader ascended to the position of sect leader.
According to him, the sect leader actually disliked the Grand Elder, but the Grand Elder occupied the other half of the sect's affairs, so the two had to cooperate.
Last time he saw the Grand Elder suppressing the Sect Master, he was not only punished by the Sect Master with a month of training, but also beaten by the Grand Elder under the guise of instruction. After that, he dared not inquire further.
"Who knows what's going on between these two? Do you think it's possible that the sect leader and the grand elder had a misunderstanding, resulting in the sect leader becoming cold and heartless, while the grand elder is still attached to the past?" Cheng Jiu analyzed based on the gossip she had heard about.
With no response from the other end, Cheng Jiu had no choice but to give up.
