Chapter 601: Home
“Brother Su, are you okay?”
Seeing Su Jingzhen still holding the black brick to his forehead, Xuening asked with concern, her face full of worry.
Seeing Xuening’s worried expression, Qiu Yaoyao who was standing next to her said, “I feel that he’s in a rather peculiar state, you don’t need to worry too much.”
But before her words were finished, Su Jingzhen removed the black brick from his forehead, and a familiar smile appeared at the corners of his mouth.
“I’ve had a sudden realization. This is just a method I use to comprehend the Dao; there’s no need to worry,” Su Jingzhen said with a smile, looking at the two women.
Of course, he would never share the secrets of the Pure Land of Ultimate Bliss inside the black brick with anyone.
Upon hearing Su Jingzhen’s words, Qiu Yaoyao’s face showed a hint of curiosity.
“Have you already grasped the ‘Dragon Control Art’?”
Even though the Heavenly Dragon Seal, especially the first-order Heavenly Dragon Seal, contained the Dragon Control Art in its entirety, if Su Jingzhen had truly comprehended it in such a short time, Qiu Yaoyao would still be somewhat astonished.
Su Jingzhen laughed at her question. “How could that be? I’ve only scratched the surface. The ‘Dragon Control Art’ is a profound technique that requires careful study to fully understand.”As he spoke, Su Jingzhen remained as cautious as ever. n/ô/vel/b//jn dot c//om
Although his relationship with Qiu Yaoyao seemed friendly now, it wasn’t particularly close.
They had only met a few times, and she was only attracted to his potential.
Now that they both belonged to the first sequence of the Heavenly Dragon race, Su Jingzhen understood that there might be times when he would inevitably interfere with Qiu Yaoyao’s interests.
Even though they had established a relationship, it was only at the first level of No Hostility.
As long as he and Qiu Yaoyao did not achieve Mutual Affection, some of his secrets would remain hidden from her.
Qiu Yaoyao nodded when she heard his words, indicating her agreement.
After all, it had taken her three or four days from receiving the seal to understanding the Dragon Control Art.
Even if the elders had higher expectations for Su Jingzhen’s potential, it would still take at least a day or two.
Then Qiu Yaoyao continued, “All right, now that you’ve successfully acquired the Dragon Control Art, there’s no need to stay here.
On my way back, I reported your presence to the lord.
Now that you’ve both received the first-order Heavenly Dragon Seal, it’s time to announce your existence to the Heavenly Dragon disciples.
It just so happens that in two days, the annual Heavenly Dragon Festival will be held by the Heavenly Dragon people.
You two should attend. It’s the perfect opportunity to announce your presence.”
With a smile, Qiu Yaoyao led them back the way they had come.
Upon hearing her words, Su Jingzhen’s eyebrows suddenly raised.
“Miss Qiu, regarding me and Xuening receiving the First Order Heavenly Dragon Seal, could you keep it a secret? I still don’t want to be too high profile.” ɽä
Qiu Yaoyao was surprised by his request.
Then she smiled and said, “Most of our Heavenly Dragon members are very high-profile. Once they receive the Heavenly Dragon Seal, even the third-level ones often want to show it off. After all, it’s a protective talisman for us.
Your desire to actively hide it is the first I’ve seen.”
Su Jingzhen said seriously, “There is nothing we can do about it.
After all, Xuening and I are newcomers, and our own strength isn’t solid. Sometimes, such fame can turn into misfortune.
If it becomes known naturally, that’s fine, but I don’t want to actively flaunt it.”
Qiu Yaoyao nodded again, “Since you insist, all right.
However, you still have to attend the Heavenly Dragon Festival in two days.
Whether or not you reveal the Heavenly Dragon Seal is up to you.
You should have noticed the Heavenly Dragon Seal on your forehead by now; you can choose to show or hide it as you wish.
Also, please don’t call me Miss Qiu anymore.
Since you are both in the same first sequence as me, you can call me ‘Sister Yaoyao’ or just ‘Yaoyao’.”
As she spoke, she led Su Jingzhen and Xuening out of the dense forest.
Looking back at the path they had taken, it was still the same seemingly ordinary stone hall.
Even now, Su Jingzhen and Xuening exchanged glances, feeling that all of this was quite surreal and almost too smooth to be true.
There were still too many secrets hidden within the territory of the Heavenly Dragon Race.
The Cultivation World of the Luo River Basin had already fulfilled all his fantasies about such a fantasy world from his previous life.
“In the core forest of the Heavenly Dragon Race territory, there are many extraordinary cultivation places.
Here, you can choose any place to live.
No one will bother you in the core area.
The day isn’t young, so let’s settle down first.
Tomorrow I’ll take you to other parts of the Heavenly Dragon Race’s territory to see how our disciples of different sequences behave.
After you fully comprehend the Dragon Control Art, I’ll take you to find a contract beast in the Heavenly Dragon Race territory.
And once you’ve mastered the Dragon Control Art, we’ll go straight to the Tortoise Sect.”
Qiu Yaoyao had already made a general plan for Su Jingzhen’s cultivation path.
Of course, Su Jingzhen and Xuening had no objections.
As they talked leisurely, Qiu Yaoyao led them to a natural lake that was not too large.
The concentration of spiritual energy here had risen to another level.
There were many rustic cottages around, exuding a serene and elegant atmosphere that was somewhat out of place in the generally harsh nature of the Heavenly Dragon Race territory.
Around the lake, Su Jingzhen could also sense the presence of many powerful Heavenly Dragon cultivators.
Almost every hut had a beast of a different shape and nature lying at the entrance.
These beasts only opened their eyes to look at Su Jingzhen and Xuening upon their arrival, and they seemed quite lazy and comfortable.
“This place is called Heavenly Green Lake, one of the most spiritually rich places in the Heavenly Dragon Core Territory.
Many core disciples like to build a small courtyard here as their cultivation place.
I also have a courtyard here, and you can choose to settle here. When you are not cultivating, you can also discuss insights with the surrounding disciples.”
Su Jingzhen and Xuening were naturally satisfied with the environment and the concentration of spiritual energy here.
Although there were many other core members of the Heavenly Dragon Race around, Su Jingzhen had no intention of isolating himself and Xuening from others.
With his current status and potential, he believed that he would quickly rise to prominence among the core disciples of the Heavenly Dragon Race.
“We will leave it up to Sister Yaoyao’s arrangement,” Su Jingzhen said.
Qiu Yaoyao smiled, “I knew you would be very happy with this place.
In that case, I’ll take the liberty of arranging accommodations for you next to my courtyard.”
As her words fell, Qiu Yaoyao’s aura suddenly surged.
She then made a hand seal, and a white light flashed on her body.
The ground next to a delicate courtyard suddenly shook, and two more equally exquisite courtyards rose from the ground.
For cultivators, especially powerful ones, building such structures was a trivial matter.
“Alright, this will be your home in the Luo River Basin from now on. As for a guardian spirit beast like others have, I’ll take you to find one after you reach a certain level in the Dragon Control Art…”
