If you don't give up, I'd like to be your adoptive father.

Chapter 851 The Imperial Court Releases the Dragon
Xiaoyu is not a masochist, nor does he do this just to show off in front of Xijuan and her son.

Her practice plan is: in the process of being struck by lightning, she will capture the pulsation of the lightning force, first understand the power of thunder, and then use the original energy of "Eight-Nine Profound Art" to transform her own true energy and body into a bolt of thunder.

Logically speaking, she created the "Five Thunder General Sword" and comprehended the Five Thunder General's divine will, so she could directly become the Five Thunder General.

However, the "thunder attribute" of the Five Thunder Generals is different from the summer rainstorm thunder.

The Five Thunder Technique she learned from the Old Ghost of Minshan was the thunder of the five elements of gold, wood, water, fire and earth.

The Thunder Department of Heaven also has five thunders: sky thunder, earth thunder, water thunder, divine thunder, and community thunder.

In addition, there are thirty-three heavens plus three major Luo heavens, and each heaven corresponds to a special kind of divine thunder.

For example, Jade Pivot Thunder, Jade Palace Thunder, Jade Pillar Thunder, Shangqing Great Cave Thunder, Fire Wheel Thunder
Back then at Feixiandu, Lei Yuanzi, one of the first generation of the Eight Immortals of the West, practiced the "Nine-Nine (Extreme Yang) Fire Wheel Thunder".

There are as many kinds of thunder as there are laws of heaven and earth and rules of the gods.

The combination and arrangement of different laws, and the "mutual friction" between the laws, can almost give birth to endless thunder.

Xiaoyu doesn't know who can control all the thunder.

Her "Five Thunder General Sword" is derived from the Five Thunder Method, which classifies thunder into five elements.

Theoretically, as long as it belongs to the Five Elements of Thunder, she can comprehend its Dao rhyme. Comprehend the Thunder Symbol that represents this kind of thunder, add the Thunder Symbol to the "Five Thunder Rune Tree" in the soul, and it will become a brand new branch in the "Tree Diagram".

Xiaoyu only obtained the method of comprehending the thunder runes and combining rune trees, but did not get the thunder runes themselves.

The large number of five-element thunder talismans are too complicated for the old farmer in Minshan to describe with words or two-dimensional pictures.

This method of cultivation, which relies entirely on one's own perception to condense thunder talismans, is too ancient and not modern enough.

The modern "Five Thunder Method" does not require you to understand the Dao bit by bit. You only need to use a special mental method (visualization diagram) to worship the "Thunder God" or the Taoist ancestor with your heart and ask the immortals and gods to grant you the Thunder Dao Talisman.

The talisman given by the Emperor had recorded various thunder runes. It was a bit like a code library. If you needed a program with a certain effect, you could just copy that code. The programmer didn't have to repeat the work of the predecessors. Xiaoyu's ancient method was to type every line of code by himself.

Judging from the results, the God-given thunder talisman is no different from the thunder talisman that one has comprehended, but it is more complete and more systematic.

For example, using the ancient methods to attain enlightenment on one's own, like Xiaoyu, who only feels the power of thunder on rainy days, only comprehends water thunder, earth thunder, and fire thunder, but lacks wood thunder and gold thunder, and the five elements are unbalanced.

The gift of thunder talisman did not affect his understanding of thunder magic at all.

It is equivalent to playing the game with a guide, which is more efficient and easier to get started.

By copying the paths of predecessors, the probability of going astray is lower.

The exploration is definitely reduced, but exploring in the game is fun even if it wastes time; wasting time in the process of cultivation is equivalent to missing the opportunity to become an immortal (lifespan is limited). If the exploration fails - like Xiaoyu's physical body comprehending the thunder method, he will be killed directly, GAME OVER, and there is no way to reload the file like in the game.

As time goes by, the techniques of immortal and Shinto are constantly improving. There must be a reason why modern methods replace ancient ones.

Two hours later.

It's past lunch time.

"Boom~~Crack~~~Boom~~~"

At this time, Xiaoyu was like a thunder god, with blue and white arcs flashing on his body and lightning surging in his body.

It seemed that what was flowing in her blood vessels and meridians was not blood and true energy, but thunder.

If the distance is close enough, or the eyesight is good enough, you can see that her exposed skin is almost transparent and blurred, and you can directly see the plasma surging beneath the skin.

Her eye sockets also turned into a pool of thunder, emitting blue and white arcs of lightning.

"Boom~~~" A flash of lightning passed through the dark clouds and landed on her head.

She neither screamed nor was her body on fire. Instead, she was like thunder itself, allowing the lightning to pass through her crown, penetrate her entire body, emerge from the soles of her feet, and continue to spread around.

It is like the god of thunder coming to earth, his sacred majesty is inviolable.

"Is this the only way it can be done?"

Looking at the new, shiny thunder talisman in his soul, Xiao Yu was not elated but sighed in disappointment.

At this time, she is still in the state of "Five Thunder General God": her soul is replaced by the Immortal Martial God, sitting in the center of the sea of ​​consciousness.

After directly gaining enlightenment in thunderclouds (and being struck by lightning) many times, she finally condensed the "Summer Thunderstorm Talisman".

At this time, the Thunderstorm Talisman was activated, and lightning similar to the thunder in the sky moved inside and on her body.

When the thunder struck, it penetrated her body, causing minimal damage to her.

She was still disappointed.

This was because she could only allow the lightning to pass through her body, and was unable to retain the "power of heaven and earth" in her body to strengthen her physique, or enhance her "resistance to all types of lightning elements." In other words, like the protagonist in the online novel in her previous life, others were struck by lightning to survive the calamity of life and death, but she was struck by lightning to practice and improve herself.

There are thousands of types of thunder in the world, and each type of thunder corresponds to a thunder talisman; condensing a thunder talisman will only enhance resistance to this type of thunder.

Today she withstood the summer thunder, but tomorrow she will encounter the winter thunder, and the “Summer Thunder Talisman” will not be able to withstand it.

In fact, this is not the first summer thunderstorm talisman that Xiaoyu has comprehended.

It’s not like she hasn’t seen summer thunder in the past few years.

She comprehended the way of thunder in the Quicksand Region and in the summer thunderstorm, and condensed several thunder runes.

They are somewhat similar to today's thunder symbols, but not exactly the same. Some are sea mines, some are earth mines, and some are fire mines.

Even the "Summer Thunderstorm Talisman" is divided into five elements, and I don't know how many types there are.

It is almost impossible to master all the thunder techniques in the world by understanding the thunder talisman.

It is necessary to classify the thunder symbols and understand the general rules of thunder.

For example, the Five Thunder Method divides thunder into five categories: gold, wood, water, fire and earth.

Whether it is winter thunder or summer thunder, as long as it thunders on a rainy day and the thunder does not fall on the ground, it is a "water mine". If it falls on the ground, it is a "land mine".

If Xiaoyu can comprehend the universal rules of the five elements of thunder, she can use this method alone to ascend to heaven and become a master of the Thunder Department.

"It would be great if we could get Master Wen to trigger the Great Destruction of Father. Master Wen is now the Lord of Thunder, and I wonder how many kinds of thunder he has mastered."

Ascetic practice is too inefficient, so Xiaoyu wants to take shortcuts again.

"Great magical powers, fellow Taoist, and great thunder magic!" Suddenly, a loud voice of praise came from below her.

Xiaoyu looked down and saw the probability of sunlight first.

She immediately looked up at the sky again. The dark clouds above her head were torn apart, and there were broken sunlight falling on the riverside. It turned out that while she was thinking, the "thunderstorm" that lasted for two hours finally ended.

"I, the old Taoist Wuyazi, bow to you, Taoist brother."

She reached out her hand and wiped her face, and her hair and beard were clean and tidy again. Her baby-like rosy face was spotless, and her tattered and burnt patchwork clothes were replaced with a brand new blue cloth Taoist robe.

Her figure quickly fell two hundred feet, and she came to a middle-aged Taoist who was hovering near the surface of the Zhangshui River. His face was even more strange than that of "Master Wuyazi".

This Taoist had purple eyes, deep eye sockets, jagged brow bones, a bronze face with lines like a tortoise's back, dark gold hair tips, and looked very "primitive".

Wuyazi’s appearance is “strange and ancient”, but this Taoist’s is “primitive and ancient”, even stranger and more ancient than strange and ancient.

He looks like a primitive god who has lived for a million years.

Xiaoyu has finally graduated from a fake university. After looking him up and down for a moment, she has some guesses about his background - he comes from an ancient family or tribe.

The other person gave her a feeling a bit like Fang Fengji and Madam Danhua.

It may not have really lived for a million years, but the heritage must be very long.

"Master Wuyazi, I'm your disciple Qin, and I'm honored to meet you!" The middle-aged man held the rope in his hand and bowed to Xiaoyu.

"Fellow Daoist, you——"

Xiaoyu looked down along the rope in his hand and saw a fat spotted dog tied to the end of the rope.

Her pupils suddenly contracted, and a flash of doubt flashed across her face. "Where are you from, fellow Taoist? Where are you going?"

Master Qin noticed her eyes and expression, and asked in surprise: "Did the Taoist priest recognize her?"

Xiaoyu asked: "Is this a white dragon?"

"Master, you have good eyesight! She doesn't show any dragon power or dragon nature at this moment, she is just a local dog.

The Taoist priest took a casual glance and saw it. It was amazing. I admire it! "Master Qin praised repeatedly.

——Forget about other mythical beasts, dragons are my grandsons!
Xiao Yu was very proud and complimented him: "Fellow Daoist can actually tame a real dragon so obediently. I—Hey, fellow Daoist's last name is 'Shimen', could it be that you are from the legendary 'Dragon Taming Clan'?"

Halfway through her words, she suddenly remembered a legend: the ancient kings and emperors all liked to raise dragons. They even built "Dragon Palaces" and hired people to help them raise dragons.

The strongest dragon-raising family is called "Huanlong Clan", and there is also a "Yulong Clan".

The level of Yulong clan is relatively poor.

Liu Lei, the ancestor of the Yulong clan, learned some dragon-raising techniques from the Huanlong clan, and then went to raise dragons for Kongjia, the king of the Great Xia Dynasty, but he raised a real dragon to death.

However, Liu Lei was very smart. He ran away with his entire family before the incident happened.

Therefore, the bloodline of the Yulong clan has continued to this day.

In the history of China, we can hear stories about the Dragon Masters from time to time.

The "Shimen" family is ranked third among dragon-raising families (famous for their skills rather than their technology).

The Shimen clan has real skills, but they act low-key and are not as famous as the Yulong clan.

Emperor Ying Zheng specially invited them to come out of seclusion to help him raise dragons.

Xiaoyu didn’t know that the Emperor of Humanity raised dragons before.

In the Liusha Region, I heard the story of the Dragon Cave from the Qingluan Messenger. Later, when I entered Shenzhou, I heard the story of the Dragon Taming Clan raising dragons for their king.

Master Qin had an arrogant look on his face, and nodded slightly, saying: "The Yulong clan deceived the world and stole the name. My master's clan is the Yulong family, but it has nothing to do with the 'Yulong clan'.

I have come here today on the orders of the Queen Mother Zhao of the Great Qin State to release the dragon into the Zhang River.

I don't want to see the Taoist priest bathing in thunder, but directly facing the thunder with his physical body, just like the thunder god descending to the world, which is really horrifying. "

When he introduced his origins, he was still arrogant. When he talked about the scene he just saw, the arrogance on his face was replaced by admiration and surprise. "I wonder if you can tell me what kind of Taoism you practice? It's so powerful."

This is a person who truly knows what is good, and he deeply understands how terrifying it is for a person to withstand the thunder from the sky with his physical body.

Wuyazi smiled and said, "I am practicing the Five Thunder Method. I just saw the thunder and lightning and was inspired. I condensed the Summer Thunder Talisman and was able to use the thunder to cleanse my body."

"Teacher~~~" Xi Juan's call came from the shore.

Xiao Yu glanced over there and invited, "Fellow Daoist, my disciple has caught a few fish in the river and set up a 'grilled fish feast' on the shore. How about coming over and having a couple of drinks?"

"I was just thinking of asking the Taoist for advice." Master Qin smiled and nodded, pulling the "Dragon Lock" in his hand, and said, "But please wait a moment, let me put this dragon into the Zhang River first."

He brought the fat, pig-like spotted dog to his side, lowered his head and earnestly admonished, "Zhao Juhua, you have always been clever and obedient. You have been pulling the carriage for the Queen Mother for two hundred years, and only now have you achieved your present blessing.

After leaving the dragon cave, he became the Dragon King who ruled over a thousand-mile river.

You must know how to be grateful, and more importantly, you must know how to cherish your blessings.

In the future, you must strictly abide by the laws of nature, safeguard the water resources of the area, manage the aquatic creatures in the river, and benefit the people on both sides of the river. Don't let down the Queen Mother and the court's expectations of you."

The spotted dog bowed obediently, and uttered a clear and pleasant voice like that of an eighteen-year-old girl, "Lord Dragon Envoy, Juhua understands. Juhua has studied in the court for hundreds of years and has mastered the full set of immortal methods of controlling clouds and rain, dredging rivers, and subduing demons. I will definitely be a good Dragon King."

Master Qin pinched his fingers and chanted a spell, and the brown "hemp rope" that was locked around the spotted dog's neck loosened automatically.

"Go! From today on, you are Tianlong, a god in heaven. Your surname is Ao, and you are Zhao Juhua of the Ao clan!"

He pulled out two volumes of imperial edicts from his sleeves, handed one to Zhao Juhua, and threw the other one casually, which turned into a stream of light and flew into the sky.

Zhao Juhua held the imperial edict in her hand and bowed to him three times again. Her voice was choked with sobs but also filled with uncontrollable joy. "Master, thank you for your teaching and care over the years. Juhua is leaving now."

After saying that, it leaped up, and its body was still falling in the air. Suddenly, a bright light appeared, and the fat spotted dog turned into a 15-meter-long jade white dragon.

Her scales sparkled in the sun, so bright and beautiful.

"Ang~~~" Zhao Juhua let out a loud dragon roar, and the cheerful sound spread to both sides of the river, making the river surface vibrate.

The dark clouds, which had been torn apart, revealing a glimmer of sunlight, gathered together again and a drizzle began to fall.

"Boom!" Zhao Juhua dived into the Zhangshui River and swam freely in the river.

Xiaoyu and his master Qin, who were in mid-air, looked down and saw a real dragon emitting jade-like glow under the water. It was almost one with the water veins and could not be distinguished from the other.

"Okay, okay, okay!" Master Qin Qing stroked his short beard, as if he was a high school class teacher who saw the students in his class receive admission letters from Tsinghua University, his face full of relief and joy.

Xiao Yu nodded slightly, like an elder who is a professor at Tsinghua University, who saw his neighbor cheering for his child getting an offer from a second-tier university. He praised kindly, "Although this white dragon is young, he is very good at controlling water. No wonder he can become the Dragon King of Zhangshui."
