The myth begins with the Lotus Lantern

Chapter 83 Previous Events
"This aura..." Jiu Tou Chong turned his head and looked towards the west. A hint of doubt flashed across his eyes. He felt it carefully, and then a smile spread across his face. "Yes, it's the aura of that green dragon."

Immediately, as if changing his face, jealousy flashed across the Nine-headed Insect's face again.

"I don't know what the master was thinking. He chose to train a mixed dragon like this instead of cultivating so many talented young people in Beiming..."

The amount of resources used must have to be described by mountains and seas. Otherwise, how could a little demon with inferior bloodline ascend to the fairyland in more than a hundred years and have a combat power comparable to that of a golden immortal.

Just imagining it made the Nine-headed Insect feel heartbroken.

If those resources were used on him, maybe he could have been promoted to the Golden Immortal.

It's not just the resources, but also the status.

Think about this Nine-Headed Insect, who ascended to immortality after thousands of years, and who had only practiced for ten thousand years yet had a record of escaping from the hands of a Golden Immortal. Such a genius had only just been noted by his master.

However, the green dragon was registered as the master's equal when he first met him. After he ascended to immortality, he was even admitted as a formal disciple, surpassing him.

Now that he saw her, no matter what he thought in his heart, he had to respectfully call her Senior Sister.

"But no matter what, it's a good thing to meet this green dragon now. It's not easy for her to stand by and watch when her fellow disciples ask for help. It really is the heavens that are helping me!"

"call!"

The Nine-Headed Insect let out a breath, adjusted his mood, and tidied up his expression. He then flew up and went to fetch water.

……

West Sea.

In the small courtyard.

There was a distance of several feet between Little White Dragon and Princess Halloween.

"Sister-in-law..."

The little white dragon spoke.

"Don't call me that. This is the last time I see you. Wasn't what I said last time clear enough? Why are you still pestering me like this? Aren't you afraid that your cousin will hear about it?"

Princess Halloween had a blank expression on her face.

"Sister-in-law... No, Yin'er..."

The little white dragon spoke.

When Princess Halloween heard this name, she turned around and was about to leave.

"No, Yin'er, don't leave yet."

The little white dragon became anxious.

"Don't call me that!"

Princess Halloween’s eyes were cold.

"Yin... No, sister-in-law, wait a moment and listen to what I have to say. If you still want to leave at that time, I will never stop you."

Little White Dragon said.

Wansheng stopped walking. She was just pretending to enjoy this novel pleasure.

"Fish, come here."

The little white dragon waved to Ding Lin first.

Princess Halloween said nothing and just watched coldly from the side.

Ding Lin swam over obediently, he knew that the next step would be his welfare time.

Perhaps he had already noticed that he was quite intelligent, or perhaps it was for some other reason, but now every time before talking to Princess Halloween, Little White Dragon would give him some elixirs and send him aside to practice.

Ding Lin opened his mouth.

A flash of light appeared between Xiaobailong's fingers, and this time he stuffed two pills into Ding Lin's mouth.

This is……

Ding Lin's eyes widened suddenly, and a burning sensation came from his mouth. What was this pill...

Pure Yang Pill!
He ate it only once, and he never forgot its taste.

At that time, just one Pure Yang Pill was enough to transform his soul into two levels of Yang. Now, his soul only had the last 15% left before it could be fully transformed into Yang. Although the effect of the pill would decrease as time went by, swallowing two pills at once would definitely be enough for him to fully transform his soul into Yang.

However, when refining the Pure Yang Pill, thoughts must be focused and consciousness must be more concentrated than usual.

It seems that Little White Dragon really had something important to say to Princess Halloween today, without him noticing at all.

However, all this had nothing to do with him.

However, these two Pure Yang Pills came just in time and were really useful.

Ding Lin did not hesitate. He raised his neck and swallowed the two Pure Yang Pills at once. Then, taking advantage of his last bit of consciousness, he wagged his tail and moved slightly away from the Little White Dragon and Princess Halloween.

……

The next moment, the power of the medicine dissipated, and a ball of fire ignited in the sea of ​​consciousness, and then spread, burning the entire sea of ​​consciousness like a prairie fire.

The entire sea of ​​consciousness turned into a sea of ​​fire.

Inside the body, the golden elixir showed no fear at all and leaped from the dantian into the sea of ​​fire.

In the diffuse fire, a golden pill seemed as tiny as a mayfly, but it rose and fell, but remained the same, with the golden pattern outlined on it.

More and more brilliant.

The soul also flew out of the golden elixir, closing his eyes tightly. A thin circle of golden light spread out from the golden elixir and wrapped around the soul to prevent him from being harmed by the fire.

The fire grew more and more fierce.

The soul just absorbed it quietly.

……

"...I was afraid of being misunderstood by you, so I pretended to be your cousin. In fact, I am not Gui Jie." Little White Dragon mustered up his courage and confessed, "I am the Third Prince of the West Sea Dragon Palace--"

"Ao Lie!"

Princess Halloween listened silently, but her expression remained as cold as ice.

Let the little white dragon tremble.

"I don't want to be like this, sister-in-law. In fact, the more time goes by, the more I regret it, and the more I want to confess to you, but... I don't know how to tell you. Until today..."

Xiao Bailong's voice became lower and lower.

"Until today, if I hadn't told you, I would have never seen you again. This is the whole cause and effect. I...sister-in-law," Xiao Bailong mustered up his courage, "can you forgive me?"

"It starts with the first lie. If you want to continue, you need countless lies to complete it," Princess Halloween finally spoke, expressionless and calm, as if she was telling someone else's story, "So, you have been lying to me from the beginning."

"I……"

Little White Dragon opened his mouth. He wanted to look at Princess Halloween's face, but just confessing seemed to have exhausted his courage. His eyes dodged, and countless words rolled in his heart, rising and falling. In the end, thousands of words turned into just a dry apology.

"Sorry……"

Three words exit.

Xiaobailong seemed to have lost all his strength. He hung his head in dejection, like a defeated dog.

The corners of Princess Halloween's mouth curled up, revealing an extremely happy smile, and then her expression returned to normal.

"From the beginning to the end, it's all my fault. If, sister-in-law, you don't forgive me, I..."

The little white dragon nodded, and at this moment a slightly cool hand came over and gently stroked his cheek.

"But you finally confessed to me..."

When Xiaobailong raised his head, he saw the forced smile on Princess Halloween's face, and he felt even more guilty.

"Actually, you know what," Princess Halloween's smile became more and more forced, "I've been suffering these days. I can feel how good you are to me, but after all... now it's okay, it turns out that you two are the same person, and I don't have to worry about it anymore."

"Sister-in-law..."

Xiao Bailong felt more and more guilty and ashamed, or maybe he was used to being called that during this period of time, and he did not change back to that name for a while.

"When my mother was still alive, she said that men are like children. No matter how old they are, they will make mistakes. We women must learn to be tolerant, tolerate his mistakes, and see his shining points. Mistakes can be forgiven, but there is one thing that cannot be tolerated, and that is deception."

Xiaobailong's face suddenly turned pale.

"This is the first time..." Princess Halloween paused, "I can forgive you."

In an instant, he returned to heaven from hell. The little white dragon raised his head suddenly, and there was light in his eyes again.

"But from now on, no matter what the reason is, you can't lie to me anymore. We are going to be husband and wife. For the next thousand, ten thousand, or even a hundred thousand years, we will walk together. You can never lie to me again."

Princess Halloween said slowly.

"No, I won't do that again!" Little White Dragon nodded vigorously, "From now on, I will never lie to you again, sister-in-law, you don't know, these days, I..."

"Still calling me sister-in-law?"

"Yin'er, yes, Yin'er, I'm so happy, Yin'er!"

The little white dragon shouted.

A gentle smile finally appeared on Princess Halloween's face.

She looked at the little white dragon, who was as happy as a child, and she knew that she had him completely in her hands.

What followed was a sweet date, as if the unpleasantness just now had never happened.

"Come to think of it, you should be several thousand years older than me, yet you have been calling me sister-in-law for so long. It's really..."

"How shameless..."

"hey-hey……"

"Yin'er, you know, you've actually met my cousin 'Gui Jie'. He's the black guy who came with me when I first came here for an interview."

"You...then why are you calling me sister-in-law in front of others..."

Princess Halloween gave Little White Dragon a sidelong look.

All kinds of styles.

"hey-hey."

"It will take another five hundred years before I can marry you. I wish time would pass faster, but in another six years we can be engaged."

The little white dragon suddenly became excited.

"No, six years is too long. The wedding date has already been submitted to the Jade Emperor and cannot be changed, but the engagement can be brought forward."

The little white dragon looked at Wansheng with deep affection in his eyes.

"I'm going to ask my mother to move up the date of the engagement. Yin'er, I don't want to wait any longer. I can't wait to let the whole world know that you are my wife!"

……

In the sea of ​​consciousness, the flames burned past their peak and then slowly began to die out like last time.

Ding Lin's soul continued to absorb yang energy.

Ninety percent.

Ninety-five percent...

At a certain moment, when the flame was about to be completely extinguished, the soul finally opened its eyes. At this moment, the soul body was shining brightly and was almost completely masculine, with only a small defect at the center of the eyebrows.

The cultivation of the life soul has reached 99% and only this last point between the eyebrows is left to complete it.

But this point cannot be compensated by ordinary practice.

The dot between the eyebrows is Niwan, which corresponds to the position of Niwan Palace. It needs to be replenished at the moment of breaking through the Yuanshen, so that it can be combined with the Niwan of the flesh body. From then on, the three Dantians of upper, middle and lower are connected, and the essence, energy and spirit are one. This is the orthodox method of Yuanshen breakthrough. Therefore, the energy required to transform the last point of pure yang is also the most voluminous. It is both a point of life soul and a passage connecting to Dantian. When breaking through, the more energy is plundered, the stronger the three Dantians can be consolidated in addition to purifying the life soul.

For example, Princess Halloween used the inner elixir of the tiger king as medicine. The elixir of the male tiger is extremely yang and strong. It is a huge opportunity even in the fairyland, not to mention that it is only used for the primordial spirit. The dragon and the tiger are combined, and the yin and yang are in harmony. As soon as the breakthrough is made, the yang energy has filled the Niwan. After that, she only needs to lead the two souls of heaven and earth back to the body, and the road to the primordial spirit realm will be completed. This is one of the reasons why she was able to enter the fairyland so quickly.

As for people like Benboerba who achieved their primordial spirit through the Dharma, because their practice was not perfect, although they could barely lift their soul into the Niwan, but since they had no future, there was no need to go through so much trouble. When they broke through, they only needed to use the 'Primordial Spirit Pill' refined with several kinds of positive materials to make up for that little bit.

Once the primordial spirit is formed, that is the end.

Although Yuanshen Pills are somewhat rare, even Bibotan can refine them in batches, so you can imagine how precious they are.

It is just the cheapest substitute for the real spiritual object.

Benboerba practiced the Dharma, but the Dharma had shortcomings. There is no need to discuss further as to how to make up for the deficiencies.

Princess Halloween is female.

Ding Lin is a hero.

Even the heaven and earth have the division into yin and yang. When it comes to the path of cultivation, male and female are naturally very different.

The female is yin. The harmony of yin and yang allows it to continuously absorb pure yang without any harm.

Males can't do that.

A male is inherently yang.

When cultivating the soul, he also absorbed too much Yang Yuan. Therefore, when breaking through the soul, he could no longer absorb pure Yang. Otherwise, at best he would go astray and fall into a lower realm. At worst, his soul would collapse and he would have no afterlife.

There is only one way left.

The cathode produces the anode.

At the moment of breakthrough, use the most yin thing as a guide to transform into a point of pure yang.

Although this pure Yang is weak, it is created with Yin Qi and is refined enough to replenish the soul while strengthening the Dantian and paving a smooth path.

Ding Lin checked his cultivation again.

During this period of time, with the continuous intake of elixirs, the speed of Taoism increased rapidly, and it has exceeded a thousand years, and it has been one thousand one hundred and sixty-seven years. Although it has not reached the limit at this stage, but since the soul is sufficient, with the help of this cultivation, it can break through the primordial spirit. Although it is not perfect, it will not weaken the foundation.

It seems that everything is ready.

Can……

His progress in cultivation had long been exposed, and he had just swallowed two Pure Yang Pills. By now, Princess Halloween might have guessed that he was close to a breakthrough.

In these days, Princess Wansheng only scared him once and never paid any attention to him again. But would Princess Wansheng really allow him to maintain such cultivation forever?
How the Halloween Princess played tricks on the Little White Dragon and made the latter think that he had all the initiative. Ding Lin saw every single one of those high-speed operations.

How could we know that Princess Halloween's relaxation of her attitude towards him at this moment was not in order to suddenly take action at some point in the future, dragging him down into the abyss and thereby gaining a kind of morbid pleasure?

He couldn't help but think of the "processed" dagger he saw when he woke up in Bibotan.

That is also Princess Halloween’s pet.

Later, the Jade-faced Princess revealed everything and displayed it before his eyes.

Ding Lin opened his eyes and glanced at Princess Halloween with a very obscure look.

She is flirting with Little White Dragon
So, Ding Lin quietly wagged his tail and moved a little further away as if unintentionally. He put into practice the breath-concealing method he learned from the Jade-faced Princess. Ding Lin quietly mobilized a trace of demonic energy to open his storage spell. He also used a trace of his mind to tear off a corner of the broken lotus leaf that was hidden at the core of the spell and put it in his mouth, holding it there for use in case of emergency.

This lotus leaf is the remaining leaf of the Precious Lotus Lantern that Yang Chan gave to me when I left.

All done.

Ding Lin looked at Princess Halloween again, and the little white dragon had already taken her hand.
Somehow, a thought suddenly occurred to Ding Lin: What if...

If he could eat Princess Halloween, and defeat the powerful with the weak, and if he could use the Yin essence of such a fairyland dragon to transform into pure Yang, I'm afraid the foundation he would lay would be unprecedentedly powerful.

It's a pity that I can only think about it.

Not to mention the resources for a breakthrough, even his life and property are hanging by a thread at this moment.

Ding Lin shook his head, put aside unnecessary thoughts, and waited quietly for the little white dragon and Princess Halloween to finish.

……

Xiniu Hezhou.

In the small lake.

Blood was gushing out in front of me.

The man in blue had his hands in his sleeves, his face expressionless. His hands tucked into his sleeves slowly clenched, and his fingers tightened one by one, then suddenly relaxed. Then he pushed forward with one palm, smashing the stone house into pieces.

This house gave her more expectations, but what came out of it was not hope, but enemies and loss.

"Found it, here it is!"

The nine-headed insect fell from the clouds, leaped nimbly, and sank into the lake.

The moment he fell to the bottom of the lake, he saw Qingyi smashing the stone house. He smelled the blood. The Nine-headed Insect looked at the pool of blood that the black scales had turned into.

"Senior sister," the Nine-headed Insect called out with a flattering smile on his face, "Where did this blind little demon come from to make you so angry?"

Qingyi ignored him. She turned her back to the Nine-headed Insect and stood straight.

The Nine-headed Insect narrowed his eyes, but since he had to ask for help, he had to suppress the anger in his heart.

"Junior brother, I came here to ask for a favor. Let me know that thousands of years ago, Junior brother met a dragon girl in Hezhou, Xiniu, named Ao Yin..."

Qing Yi ignored him, and Jiu Tou Chong could only continue talking. If he asked someone for help, he naturally had to tell the reason.

Of course, Nine-headed Insect tried his best to clear himself and put all the responsibility on Princess Halloween and Little White Dragon.

According to Jiu Tou Chong's description, he contributed money and effort and was sincere to Princess Wan Sheng, and thought he would be able to achieve his goal. However, because of the war between Kunpeng and the Heavenly Court, he went to the North Sea. After he came back, he found that Princess Wan Sheng had found another rich man and abandoned him.

The Nine-Headed Insect did not mention that Princess Halloween had already returned the things, and he also downplayed the fact that he went to her house later as simply asking for the money.

Then, he kept talking about how unfaithful Princess Halloween was.

How did Xihai use his power to overwhelm others?

Qingyi remained silent, as if she had heard nothing from beginning to end.

"Sister, I just wanted to ask for an explanation, but the Dragon Palace bullied the demon too much. Not only did they take my wife, but they also found a bastard thug called Bull Demon King from nowhere to beat me up. I have been nursing my wounds until now, and finally recovered."

When Qingyi heard what the Bull Demon King said, he remembered what happened to him near the Flower-Fruit Mountain and finally had some reaction.

It happened that the Nine-headed Insect was circling in front of Qingyi because he couldn't see Qingyi's reaction to what she was saying behind her.

Qingyi glanced at the Nine-headed Insect.

"A few days ago, Junior Brother went to Bi Bo Tan again, but the dragon was gone and the pond was empty. I also asked around and found out that the old dragon and his daughter had all gone to the West Sea, and they were going to get engaged soon."

The Nine-Headed Insect continued with an excited look on his face. This was not entirely false. Thinking about the past, he was really sad.

"Sister, how can I swallow such a breath? But the West Sea... I once went to the North Sea to steal the elixir for the dragon girl, and I escaped with my life. I think the security of the West Sea will not be weaker than that of the North Sea. I am a demon and I am really incapable of it. Sister, we are from the same lineage of the North Sea. Can you really bear to stand by and watch?"

The Hydra pleaded.

"West Sea?" Qing Yi finally spoke. She glanced at Jiu Tou Chong indifferently and asked, "When do you want to go?"

"Of course the faster the better!"

Jiu Tou Chong was stunned for a moment. Originally, Qing Yi had been ignoring him and he had already lost hope. However, he did not expect Qing Yi to be so easy to talk to. He did not question the untruths and unexpressed meanings in his words at all, nor did he ask for any benefits or favors.

I agreed right away as soon as I opened my mouth.

Jiu Tou Chong didn't know that Qing Yi didn't come here for him at all. He was just angry and gloomy because he didn't find Ding Lin, and because of the hatred with Si Hai -

When Qingyi was in the North Sea, the dragon sons and grandsons who came to visit from the West Sea bullied her many times, so she wanted to make a big fuss.

The incident with the Nine-Headed Insect was just a coincidence.

"Sister, I'm here to help you. If you need me any help in the future, please let me know. As long as I can, I will do my best."

The Nine-Headed Insect thought about it again and promised.

Qingyi may not mention it, but he cannot not give it.

If you ask someone to do something for you without paying a price, the first time will be the last time.

Although the Nine-headed Insect had some complaints in his heart, Qingyi was now far superior to him in terms of realm and magical powers. He could always ask Qingyi for help.

"Where are you living now? I have some things to do. I will come to find you in three days." Qingyi said.

"Is there anything I can do for you, Junior Brother?" asked the Nine-headed Insect.

"No need." Qing Yi's voice was cold.

"Junior brother, the Jisai Kingdom is not far from here," the Nine-headed Insect said goodbye after being annoyed, "I won't delay you for now. I'm in Jisai Kingdom, so I'll be waiting for you."

After the Nine-headed Insect finished speaking, he bowed to Qingyi, then stepped on the waves and flew away.

Qingyi stayed there for a while. She looked around for a long time, then surfaced without saying a word and went to fetch water not far away. Her body fell into the water. Her huge spiritual consciousness spread out, but she still did not give up and began to search inch by inch.

……

West Sea.

In the small garden.

See Ding Lin wake up.

The little white dragon realized that a lot of time had passed. He stood up, still holding Princess Halloween's wrist reluctantly.

"Yin'er, it's getting late. If it's any later, the palace gates will be locked. I haven't moved out yet and am still living in the palace. My mother is very strict with me and won't allow me to stay out all night. I... have to go back first."

"Well, if you have to go, you should go earlier so you don't have to rush on the road."

Princess Halloween smiled gently.

"I will come to see you tomorrow. I will go back tonight and ask for permission to see my mother. I will definitely ask for grace to advance the engagement date."

Little White Dragon promised.

"But I heard from my father that this is what Empress Long Fei meant when we got engaged seven years later."

Princess Halloween said seemingly unintentionally.

"Don't worry, Yin'er. After all, the Queen Mother is my legal mother, and the King never interferes in the marriages of our children. All we need to do is ask for the Queen Mother's grace. Even if Mother objects, that's fine."

"But...will Empress Long Fei be unhappy if you do this?"

Princess Halloween said hypocritically.

The little white dragon was silent.

"As for mother..." Little White Dragon pursed his lips, "Yin'er, I will coax her after what happened to mother. When we get married, I will be more filial to her. Once she has seen how good you are, she will naturally not be angry anymore."

"But this is really putting you in a difficult position," said Princess Halloween.

"As long as it's for you, Yin'er, it's all worth it," said the little white dragon, "I won't say any more. I'm leaving now!"

The little white dragon took a few steps and turned back to look at Princess Halloween, who stood there and gave him a gentle smile.

Ding Lin watched this scene from a distance and couldn't help but fall silent. He had also consumed many of Xiao Bailong's pills in these days. Seeing an honest man being bullied like this, he felt a little sad in his heart.

Xiaobailong finally left completely.

In the pavilion, Wan Sheng sat down slowly, and the fake smile on the corner of her mouth gradually faded. Under the light shining from the night pearl, she waved her hand slightly, and a suction force pulled Ding Lin closer to her.

"Fish, don't you think this dragon is cute in its stupidity? For the rest of his life..."

"Pfft!"

Princess Halloween suddenly laughed again.

Abrupt yet contented.
