Chapter 92: Full Dragon Banquet, Enlighten the Dragon Veins (Request for Full Order)
Li Qing never figured out when the green lotus sprouted.

With this unsolved mystery, he finished all the trivial matters and finally started his first journey after building his foundation.

It’s not quite right to say that he was traveling. He planned to first visit the five fellow foundation-building practitioners around Xuefeng Lake one by one, and then go to the Lu family to seek the foundation-building techniques.

The first stop of this trip was the nearby Yanglonghu Sangjia.

It is rumored that two thousand years ago, Yanglong Lake was just a harbor of Xuefeng Lake.

A Yuanying Zhenjun obtained a dragon egg here, so he moved mountains and blocked rivers to separate the dragon-raising lake. He also created a spiritual vein at the bottom of the lake to provide for the growth of the young dragon.

Later, Yuanying Zhenjun left on a dragon, and the lake was successively occupied by various forces.

It was not until eight hundred years ago that the first ancestor of the Sang family obtained the fragments of Zhenjun's experience in raising dragons in the lake.

This old ancestor was a wise man who knew how to deal with current affairs. He immediately handed over the original fragment to the court of the Great Zhou Dynasty.

Afterwards, the imperial court awarded Yanglong Lake directly to the Sang family based on their merits, thus ending hundreds of years of disputes.

Because the Li family sent the visiting card early, the Sang family was well prepared.

As soon as Li Qing arrived at the Sang family's land, the foundation-building ancestor Sang Yuwan was already waiting outside: "Daoyou, I haven't seen you for a few months, and you are still as charming as ever!"

Li Qing greeted him, and the other members of the Sang family also saluted him. After such polite exchanges, the two great foundation-building monks finally showed courtesy to each other and entered the clan's land.

Unlike Qinghe Valley, Yanglong Lake has been cultivated by the Sang family for eight hundred years, and the spiritual veins of the surrounding hills and the central lake have long been thoroughly combed out.

Looking around, the mountains and rivers are beautiful, and the spiritual energy turns into a light mist, pouring and flowing between the mountains and rivers. Various ordinary and spiritual plants are filled with vitality under the spiritual mist.

Li Qing even saw quite a few cranes flying and dancing among the mountains, looking very comfortable.

As he entered the place, he felt refreshed both physically and mentally: "My Li family cannot compare to such an atmosphere!"

Sang Yuwan laughed: "Fellow Daoist Li is too modest. Your attainments in spiritual plants are extraordinary. I think in a few years, Qinghe Valley will be a completely different scene."

When guests come from afar, we should always hold a banquet.

Sang Yuwan hosted Li Qing with a "Dragon Banquet" in a water pavilion beside Yanglong Lake.

Compared to the shabby banquet for Li Qing's foundation-building, the Sang family's banquets were luxurious even if they were just small banquets.

Sang Yuwan picked up the jade pot and poured a glass of deep red wine for Li Qing: "This is my family's unique dragon blood wine, please taste it."

Li Qing raised the glass, put it in front of his nose and sniffed it. Then a rising aroma of wine penetrated into his lungs.

"I have heard of the great name of Dragon Blood Wine for a long time. It is a great honor for me to have the chance to taste it today!" Li Qing smiled heartily and drank the whole glass in one gulp.

The wine was not spicy, but rather had a mellow sweetness that lingered on the taste buds. Li Qing savored it for a moment before his throat moved slightly and he swallowed the wine.

The next moment, a scorching breath exploded from the stomach, transforming into billowing fiery energy, flowing along Li Qing's spiritual veins and spreading into the acupoints.

Sang Yuwan looked at Li Qing with a smile. Li Qing held the wine glass and smiled back: "Daoyou, this wine tastes really overbearing!"

This dragon blood wine is brewed from the essence and blood of the dragons in Yanglong Lake, supplemented with dragon blood rice, ambergris and other spiritual materials.

If a cultivator with a weaker foundation drinks it, it can also help to temper the body and strengthen the foundation.

However, the medicinal properties of this wine are strong, and those who have just entered the foundation building stage cannot digest it in a hurry, so they are prone to burping and making a fool of themselves. Sang Yuwan waited for a while, but saw no other changes. His face froze, and he smiled bitterly, "Daoyou has a solid foundation, and I am the one who made a fool of myself."

Li Qing did not take it too seriously, and shook his head and laughed: "Fellow Daoist Sang, you are joking. You have good intentions, and I will naturally appreciate your good wine and good food."

Sang Yuwan's smile turned into joy, and she diligently served food to Li Qing.

Such spiritual dishes as dragon blood tofu, stir-fried dragon liver, stewed dragon eggs, roasted dragon heart, etc. are all exquisite and delicious.

The dragons used in the meal are not real dragons, of course, but various dragon species bred in Yanglong Lake. After being cooked into magical food, each has its own unique characteristics and uses.

After three rounds of wine and five dishes, the banquet was finally over.

Sang Yuwan had the table cleared away and served the best spiritual tea. Then he asked Li Qing, "Why are you here?"

Li Qing smiled and said, "I never visit a temple without a reason. Last time, Fellow Daoist Sang told me about his family's secret of raising dragons, and I was really interested in it."

"It just so happens that I have a group of golden carps with dragon whiskers outside my cave. They have decent aptitude, so I came to ask you, fellow Taoist, if there is any way to enlighten their dragon veins?"

"Golden Carp with Dragon Whiskers? You are so lucky, fellow Daoist!" Sang Yuwan sighed, "The market for this kind of spiritual fish is rising recently. Instead of taking the trouble to enlighten its dragon veins, it is better to sell it directly to the Great Zhou court."

Li Qing's mind moved: "What does this mean?"

Sang Yuwan pointed to the sky and said, "Daoyou, do you still remember the Spirit Fish King that was captured by Xuan Palace the last time it appeared in the world? It was the transformation of the Dragon Whisker Golden Carp."

Li Qing was naturally aware of this. After all, the news was reported by his family, and the young of the Spirit Fish King was still swimming in his cold spring.

Seeing that he was not surprised, Sang Yuwan lost some of her amusement: "The royal family of the Great Zhou Dynasty has always respected dragons. This golden carp with dragon whiskers has produced a spiritual fish king, so its value has naturally doubled. Now a small fish is worth ten big fish."

Li Qing knew that the Great Zhou royal family's Zunlong was just an excuse, and there must be a deeper reason behind it. But this was not something he could get involved in.

He shook his head: "A thousand spirit stones cannot buy what I love. The fish in my pond are doing well, and I have no intention of exchanging them for spirit stones."

Firstly, his golden carp has outstanding talent and is worth cultivating, and secondly, he also has to consider Chao Yin's feelings. After all, the "first fish" among the fry has become half of Chao Yin's car.

Sang Yuwan stopped persuading him and began to introduce the enlightenment plan of the Dragon Whisker Golden Carp to Li Qing.

"Before you subdue a dragon, you must first think clearly about its purpose. If you want it to be a spiritual pet, a beast, or even a mount, you must also enlighten it at the same time."

"Raising them for food is the opposite. Their spirits must be sealed when they are still ignorant, so that they can be slaughtered without causing harm to nature. Which one would you like?"

Li Qing was of course inclined to raise it for food, but considering Chao Yin's feelings, he said, "Use it as a spiritual pet. Raising a dragon seed in the pond can at least add some fairy spirit."

He paused, and then said, "If it were bigger, it would be good to use it as a coolie to pull a cart."

Sang Yuwan reached out and pointed at Li Qing: "I saw that you were enjoying your meal just now, so I think what you said is not in line with your heart."

Li Qing smiled awkwardly: "Fellow Daoist Sang, you are joking. Please tell me, how much does it cost to transform this dragon vein?"

Sang Yuwan smiled and said, "If it were someone else, it would naturally cost a lot. But for you, my friend, I won't take a penny. I just want to exchange it for a promise from you."

Li Qing couldn't help but frowned: "I never like to owe favors to others, how much is the price, please let me know."

Sang Yuwan waved her hand and said, "Don't worry, fellow Taoist. Please listen to me."
