He cultivated himself into a Dao Ancestor starting from Qi Refining.

"Alright."

Fan Wujiu, his face grim, snapped, "I don't want to argue with you. Just say what you have to say. What is it you came to see me about?"

"I've come to make a deal with Fellow Daoist Wuxia."

Lin Shaoyu said slowly.

"Um?"

Fan Wujiu looked at Lin Shaoyu with suspicion, "What deal?"

"Actually, this deal is very simple."

Lin Shaoyu continued, "You only need to help me accomplish one thing, which is to stop 'Ao Qing from transforming into a dragon.' If you succeed, I can pass on the 'Great Divine Power Technique: Spreading Branches and Leaves' to you."

"!!!"

Fan Wujiu's eyes widened. "What do you mean? You have the inheritance of the 'Great Divine Power Technique: Spreading Branches and Leaves'? No! That's not right! Lu Jinghong received the inheritance! How could you have it?!"

"come out."

Lin Shaoyu spoke calmly.

hum!

next moment.

As a wave spread, Lu Jinghong emerged from the void.

"Lu Jinghong!"

Fan Wujiu exclaimed in surprise, "You..."

"The Flawless Old Demon".

Lu Jinghong remained calm.

"This...this..."

A tidal wave of emotions surged within Fan Wujiu, leaving him utterly unable to calm down. He looked at Lu Jinghong, then at Lin Shaoyu, his apprehension towards Lin Shaoyu reaching an terrifying level. He couldn't help but ask again, "Who...who exactly are you?!"

Shocked!

It’s too shocking!

Fan Wujiu never imagined that so little time had passed. Lu Jinghong, who was full of vigor on Penglai Island and had taken the "Great Divine Power: Spreading Branches and Leaves", had fallen into the hands of "Blood Refining Heaven" when they met again today.

terrible!

terrible!

Who exactly is this "Blood Refining Heaven"? What is his identity? What is his background? What are his connections? And what methods did he use to force Lu Jinghong to submit?

Unimaginable.

It's simply unimaginable.

"Fellow Daoist Wuxia, are you going to make this deal?"

Lin Shaoyu asked again.

"Do!"

Fan Wujiu agreed almost without hesitation, because he had no other choice. Now that Lin Shaoyu had given him a new path, even if there were traps on this path, he had to jump in.

To know.

Fan Wujiu has already reincarnated three times, and in this last life, his lifespan is almost exhausted. Originally, the "Great Divine Power: Spreading Branches and Leaves" was his only choice, but he lost in the battle for Penglai Island, and now he has been targeted by Huiye.

Now, Lin Shaoyu's deal has become the last straw he can grasp. As long as he obtains the inheritance of "Great Divine Power: Spreading Branches and Leaves", he will have another chance.

"Fellow Daoist Wuxia, you should know more about the situation in the Guanhai Kingdom than I do."

Lin Shaoyu smiled and said, "Also, do you know where 'Ao Qing' is? And how much do you know about Ao Qing?"

"Um."

Fan Wujiu nodded and said in a deep voice, "A year ago, something happened in the royal family of the Guanhai Kingdom. King Guanhai of the Guanhai Kingdom passed away, but he did not have time to appoint a successor before his death."

"so."

"An extraordinary battle for the throne broke out among the seven princes of the Guanhai Kingdom. It lasted for half a year, and finally the ninth prince, Guan Qingyun, won the throne."

"And this Guan Qingyun is none other than Ao Qing."

"Ao Qing became the king of the Guanhai Kingdom."

Lin Shaoyu pondered for a moment.

"good."

Fan Wujiu nodded again, "If Ao Qing wants to transform into a dragon, he definitely needs dragon energy. In the world, apart from the Dao Court and the Dragon Clan, the purest is 'Dynastic Dragon Energy,' which is what the so-called supreme ruler, the true dragon emperor, means."

"He wanted to use the 'dynasty's dragon energy' to 'transform into a dragon'."

"But to successfully 'transform into a dragon,' given the quality of the 'dynasty dragon energy' of the Guanhai Kingdom, it would take at least a hundred years of nurturing to succeed."

"Of course."

"If Ao Qing can expand the territory of the Guanhai Kingdom, he can enhance the 'Dynasty Dragon Qi' and thus shorten the time required for the Dragon Qi to nourish him."

"In that case, I do have a solution."

Lin Shaoyu pondered for a moment, then made up his mind: "Since Ao Qing needs the dynasty's dragon energy, then we should find a way to destroy the dynasty's dragon energy of the Guanhai Kingdom. Even if we can't destroy it, we can weaken the dynasty's dragon energy of the Guanhai Kingdom and extend the time for Ao Qing to transform into a dragon indefinitely."

"That is indeed one way."

Fan Wujiu nodded slightly, "But this would be tantamount to starting a war between dynasties, and it wouldn't be so easy to deal with in reality."

"No rush."

Lin Shaoyu shook his head and said, "Before carrying out this plan, I need to meet with Ao Qing."

"Um."

Fan Wujiu said no more.

Seven days later.

The capital of the Kingdom of Guanhai.

Its name is: Guanhai Royal City.

To know.

Fan Wujiu was an inner disciple of the Dry Bone Demon Sect. As a person of his status, he was generally revered as an "Immortal" when traveling in the Central Continent.

Naturally.

For Fan Wujiu to meet the king of a mortal dynasty was naturally an easy thing to do, but for Ao Qing to obtain the "dynasty dragon aura," he had to play the role of the king of the Guanhai Kingdom well and could not do anything that contradicted this role. He even had to be careful about his words and actions.

Ao Qing thought he had deceived many people and many supernatural beings, but he didn't know that he had actually deceived no one.

Whether it's the death of Guan Hai, the previous king of the Guan Hai Kingdom, or the struggle for the throne among the seven princes, there are actually significant problems involved, which are obvious to anyone with discerning eyes.

The reason why Fan Wujiu and the others pretended not to see it was simple: they did not want to offend Ao Qing, nor did they want to jump out and stop Ao Qing from transforming into a dragon for no reason.

There's one more thing.

Even with their powerful divine abilities, Fan Wujiu and the other inner disciples still couldn't figure out Ao Qing's true origins. This meant that Ao Qing's background was not simple; he might be a descendant of a true dragon from the demon race who had come to transform into a dragon and undergo tribulation. If they offended him, things could really get out of hand.

Banquet hall.

Lin Shaoyu met Ao Qing, but not in his true form. Ao Qing was disguised as Guan Qingyun, the seventh prince of the Guanhai Kingdom, and appeared to be a middle-aged man with a square face.

"We are truly thrilled that the venerable immortal has graced our Sea-Viewing Kingdom with his presence, and even come to visit us in person!"

Ao Qing revealed an excited smile, but it was not very convincing.

"Um."

Fan Wujiu nodded indifferently, his gaze sweeping over the mysterious Ao Qing. "King Qingyun, you are indeed extraordinary. No wonder you stood out among the seven princes."

To spy on fate!

launch!

Lin Shaoyu stood behind Fan Wujiu, naturally not revealing his true identity, but playing the role of Fan Wujiu's servant.

The moment Lin Shaoyu saw Ao Qing, his mind stirred, and he connected with the He Shi Bi (a famous jade disc in Chinese mythology) to begin peering into Ao Qing's past.

"!!!"

next moment.

Lin Shaoyu's pupils contracted, a look of horror flashing across his mind, because the He Shi Bi gave feedback that it would take ten strands of cyan life force to glimpse Ao Qing's past.

"grass!"

Lin Shaoyu couldn't help but curse inwardly, his mood darkening completely. "Taki Akizuki, are you really trying to ruin me?!"
