Longevity starts with dual cultivation

Chapter 144 Dragon Pond

In the dragon clan territory, in the palace of the third princess Luo Qingyu.

In the palace filled with spiritual energy and bright rays of light, several young men and women with gorgeous clothes and noble temperaments gathered together, discussing in low voices.

"...I still think that the human cultivator that Sixth Sister brought back is not a simple person."

Luo Qingyu said coldly: "You have never met him, but I almost caught him at the beginning."

A scholar in a green robe, with a hazy sheen all over his body and a jade seal hanging from his waist, gently stroked the jade folding fan in his hand and said softly:

"Even if he is somewhat extraordinary, so what? Sixth sister is willing to bet on him, that is her own business, it seems to have nothing to do with us, right?"

This is the fifth prince of the dragon clan, Luo Dongshan. He is usually close to Luo Qingyu, but not on good terms with Luo Qingxuan.

When brothers and sisters grow up, it is inevitable that they will have differences in closeness and distance, likes and dislikes. This is true for the human race and also for the dragon race.

Another girl in a blue skirt who looked no more than twelve or thirteen years old and petite kicked her legs and said softly:

"Sixth sister is about to participate in the baptism of thunder tribulation in the Dragon Pool. Only when she passes it successfully can she pose a certain threat to us, right?"

She is the eleventh princess of the Dragon Clan leader: Luo Qingning. Moreover, she and Luo Qingyu were born to the same mother, so their relationship is naturally closer.

Another young man with a strong and fierce face, a burly figure, and a short beard murmured:

"Several of us have gone through this thunder baptism ceremony. With Sixth Sister's temperament and aptitude, it won't be difficult for her to pass it smoothly.

The key is...how much benefit can she get from this baptism of thunder?"

He is Luo Yunting, the fourth prince of the dragon clan.

The new generation of the deep-sea dragon clan will have such a special ceremony when they reach adulthood, entering the ancient and powerful Dragon Pool to receive the baptism of thunder.

As long as the dragon clan successfully passes the baptism of thunder and lightning, they can obtain part of the legacy of the dragon clan's ancestor, purify their bloodline, and strengthen their soul and body.

If it is a dragon with excellent talent and good luck, there is a chance to awaken one or several dragon's innate magical powers.

Such lucky people will certainly be able to go further in the future and become Nascent Soul or even Spirit Transformation powerhouses. Even going further is not a luxury.

Luo Qingyu held the dark jade ruyi in his hand, his eyes dim:
“It’s true that we all passed it at first, but we didn’t get much benefit from it!
Apart from a round of strengthening of the soul and body, and gaining some insights into the great Dao from the ancestor, he has not awakened any innate magical powers.

If Sixth Sister is lucky enough and surpasses us in this respect, Father will probably pay more attention to her in the future, right?"

The fifth prince Luo Dongshan changed his sitting position and frowned slightly.
"I don't think Sixth Sister will be so lucky. Her aptitude is at the same level as ours. We haven't gotten any benefits, so how could she be an exception?"

Not to mention them, looking at the entire new generation of the deep-sea dragon clan, anyone who has passed the baptism of thunder tribulation has never heard of anyone having such an honor.

Over tens of millions of years, countless powerful dragons have walked out of the Dragon Pool, but only a few have been able to awaken their innate magical powers.

Speaking of this, these dragon sons and daughters are quite envious of their father, who is the current patriarch of the dragon clan.

When he was still a prince, he was fortunately awakened some powerful innate magical powers after being baptized by thunder, which greatly increased his strength and surpassed all his brothers and sisters of the same generation.

Moreover, this is the only example of a dragon clan successfully awakening a natural magical power in the past three thousand years, which shows how exaggerated its difficulty is.

Luo Qingning nodded in agreement: "She won't succeed, there's no need to worry too much about this."

In fact, this is not just her idea. The senior elders who control the core decision-making power of the Dragon Clan all hold similar views.

Compared to the ancient times, when there were many elites and chosen ones, the Hualong Pond has been silent for too long.

The incredible performance of the current Dragon Clan leader caused a huge stir among the clan's top brass, so much so that many of the great elders who had been in seclusion for a long time were alarmed.

Therefore, in the subsequent competition for the position of patriarch, his brothers and sisters basically chose to give up because they had no confidence at all.

Luo Qingyu whispered: "Of course it would be best if it were like this, but I always have a bad feeling.

Maybe this time, Sixth Sister can give us a big surprise?"

She herself couldn't explain the reason, but she just felt that Luo Qingxuan had some special support, which was enough to get her brothers and sisters out of the game early.

"Third sister, I think you really think too much!"

Luo Qingning curled her lips and said disapprovingly.

The reason why these brothers and sisters are afraid of Luo Qingxuan is simply because her mother occupies the position of the queen of the dragon clan, and her status and position are advantageous.

However, this is not enough to guarantee that Luo Qingxuan will definitely get that position in the future. It is not too rare for a non-legitimate son to succeed to the position of Dragon Clan Chief over the past tens of millions of years.

"Okay, maybe I'm worrying too much!"

Seeing that his brothers and sisters all looked disapproving, Luo Qingyu said helplessly.

Luo Dongshan pondered and said, "Third sister, if you are really worried, after this is over, the elders will open the Fulong Secret Realm and let us enter to look for opportunities.

By then, Ling Changqing and Sixth Sister should both be involved, and we can then discuss a foolproof method."

Luo Qingyu's eyes lit up slightly, and after thinking for a while, he nodded and said:
"This is indeed an opportunity, we'll talk about it when the time comes!"

……

In the palace, Ling Changqing, who had just come out of retreat, was enjoying a feast with Luo Qingxuan, which included all kinds of delicacies from the mountains and the sea, as well as spiritual wine and delicacies.

Naturally, the ingredients in the Dragon Palace couldn't be bad. They were all rare treasures rarely seen in the human cultivation world, and Ling Changqing praised them highly after eating them.

"... Young Master, have you already mastered all those martial arts manuals?"

Luo Qingxuan, wearing a fiery red dress and bright and hot, spoke softly, with charm flowing in her beautiful eyes as bright as stars.

The more she looked at this stolen husband, the more satisfied she became.

Ling Changqing nodded: "Indeed."

Although the Dragon Princess's original actions had an element of robbery, she was actually very good to herself.

With these four rare earth-level skills as a foundation, and with no hindrance in resources, Ling Changqing's future path can be said to be smooth sailing. At least there will be no insurmountable bottleneck before he reaches the Nascent Soul True Lord.

Even among those powerful forces at the God Transformation level, it is difficult for their core disciples to obtain similar opportunities, let alone others.

Luo Qingxuan smiled and said, "That's good. With your destiny, it won't be a problem to practice a few more high-level skills and magical powers.

Well, wait a few more days, I will evolve into the Dragon Pond, then you can come with me!"

"Ok."

Ling Changqing agreed. He also wanted to see what was so special about this ancient artifact passed down by the dragon clan.

In the vast ocean world, the dragon clan is still able to have the influence it has today, and the ancient and precious artifacts passed down by the ancestors played an indispensable role in this.

Luo Qingxuan said with a slightly regretful look: "It's a pity that you don't have dragon blood, otherwise you could have accepted the baptism of thunder tribulation.

With your supreme luck, you will have the opportunity to awaken more than one powerful innate magical power. By then... your father's position will be yours sooner or later!"

At this moment, she suddenly remembered that there seemed to be a secret method of transforming blood in the secret library of the dragon clan. As long as her husband was willing, it would not be difficult to give up his human identity and obtain the dragon blood.

Ling Changqing couldn't help but laugh: "Forget about this kind of thing. I'm not interested in power and status. All I want is to live forever and be free."

He had never really thought about becoming the helmsman of a superpower, facing the intrigues of his subordinates every day and dealing with endless government affairs. That was not the future he wanted.

He picked up the golden and exquisite jade wine vase with ancient shape and shining luster, and drank the wine inside.

"This wine tastes really good!"

Ling Changqing said with satisfaction that the treasures of the Dragon Palace were naturally extraordinary, and no major force in the Yuzhou Continent could match them.

Luo Qingxuan smiled softly, "This Drunken Dragon Drink is one of the hundred kinds of fine wines in the Dragon Palace. Since you like it, I can let you drink it every day in the future!"

"That's great!"

Ling Changqing looked pleased.

This spiritual wine not only tastes great, but long-term consumption can also greatly replenish qi and blood, and enhance cultivation. Even a Golden Elixir Master requires it as a rare resource.

"After the Thunder Tribulation Baptism Ceremony is completed, my lady, you should be able to step into the realm of Yuanying Zhenjun, right?"

Ling Changqing asked again, she is now at the peak of the Golden Core level.

Luo Qingxuan thought for a moment and said, "Of course there is no problem with this, but I want more than that. It would be best if I could awaken a natural magical power.

My father was like this back then, and if I want to take over his position in the future, I can’t be inferior to him in this aspect!"

Ling Changqing's heart was slightly moved, and he said softly: "That's no problem, my lady, you can do it!"

Luo Qingxuan looked delighted: "With my husband's guarantee, it seems that this matter should be a sure thing!"

Even without any reason, she still felt that Ling Changqing's judgment would not be wrong.

After eating and drinking, Luo Qingxuan couldn't wait to pull Ling Changqing to the bedroom, saying that she wanted to continue practicing dual cultivation for a few more rounds.

In fact, she wanted to try out the newly acquired dual cultivation technique, as well as some of the secret techniques of boudoir charm that Bai Qingyi had told her privately. This was the only way to capture her man's mind.

Three days and three nights later.

Outside the brocade curtain, the personal female official came to report that everything was ready at the Hualong Pond and the elders were waiting for Her Royal Highness the Princess to come over.

"……knew!"

On the large jade embroidered bed, Luo Qingxuan responded lazily, her beautiful eyes slightly narrowed, lying on Ling Changqing and almost not wanting to move.

"Well, my lady, you better get up quickly! Don't keep the elders waiting for too long."

Ling Changqing spoke softly, gently caressing her snow-white skin that was as smooth and tender as jade.

"okay!"

Luo Qingxuan responded, finally opened her beautiful eyes, and called the maids to come in and help her dress.
