Shulong Daojun

The young Taoist priest, in his youth, encountered a young dragon lying in wait. His robe was blue, also the color of scales, and both its form and spirit were exquisite.

This made Xiaodou'er envious.

She looked at Lin Shu with pleading eyes and said in a pitiful tone, "Senior brother, senior brother, dragon baby!"

You promised Xiaodou'er, and Xiaodou'er wants to see it.

Lin Shu did not respond at first.

He looked down at the small green dragon on his shoulder and spoke softly, "Originally a dragon from beyond the mortal realm, now you are a member of our sect's celestial family. Are you willing?"

Before the words were finished, a tender hissing sound rang out, like a snake or an insect, quite like Zhong Ling's.

The little green dragon raised its head and affectionately nuzzled Lin Shu's neck, its slender body gently tightening and coiling around it.

Lin Shu suddenly felt a slightly cool and warm sensation on his neck, with a hint of the rough texture of stone.

After a moment's thought, he chuckled and said, "I'll call you Qingmin then."

Immediately, he slowly opened his palm, gently lifting it, and moved closer to Xiaodou'er.

A golden glint flashed in the Azure Dragon's eyes, and it nimbly descended, landing in Lin Shu's palm in less than half a breath.

When Little Bean saw the baby dragon, her round eyes sparkled with great joy. She tilted her head left and right and giggled.

"Senior brother, senior brother, can I touch the baby dragon?"

She stretched out her small hand halfway, then seemed to remember something, and pulled it back, looking up at Lin Shu.

Lin Shu nodded: "Gently is fine."

"Senior brother, Xiaodou'er knows how."

She responded sensibly, then squatted down, looked at him for a while, and finally touched Qingmin's back.

Dragons are born with a spirit and the ability to recognize and discern people.

Qingmin sensed the aura of the Scale Book on Xiaodou'er's body. His dragon eyes narrowed slightly, and he curled up docilely, showing no ferocity whatsoever.

Just then, Xiaodou noticed something peculiar, her eyes filled with curiosity:

"Senior brother, senior brother, what's this place, Dragon Baby?"

As she spoke, her little finger touched Qingmin's forehead, where two small bumps covered with blue scales resembled two delicate little drums.

Lin Shu glanced at it, then explained gently, "The dragon's appearance is called 'eyebrows intertwined'."

"The green jade is not a dragon, therefore it has no horns. When it transforms into a dragon, those two slight bumps will break through the scales and grow horns, thus revealing its true dragon form."

"Oh~ Senior Brother." Xiaodou blinked and nodded hesitantly.

She didn't understand what "jiao" or "long" meant, but she knew that Qingmin was very well-behaved, and she couldn't help but touch him again with her little hand.

When the Azure Dragon was born, strange phenomena followed, its movements as swift as a gust of wind that filled the small temple.

Just as Lin Shu was watching Xiao Dou'er and Qing Min playing, two figures, one old and one young, suddenly burst into the room, both with expressions of disbelief.

It was Bao Daoist and his junior brother who rushed over in a hurry.

"Good disciple, you azure dragon..."

Upon arrival, the monk immediately spoke, intending to ask a question, but before he could finish, he changed the subject, his brows relaxed, and he laughed loudly:

"Indeed, even in his childhood, his eyebrows were neatly aligned and he possessed a gentle and serene demeanor, which is the appearance of a spirit dragon, destined to transform into a dragon."

If my disciple uses this dragon spirit essence to condense a Dao embryo, he will surely be able to ascend to the clouds and attain the Dao in harmony with the will of Heaven one day.

How good! What a great kindness! "

As soon as he finished speaking, he waved his hand and summoned a cloud as a congratulatory gift. With a light step, mountain flowers bloomed in profusion.

A teacher is like a father.

He had many things he wanted to ask, but after seeing the Azure Dragon, all of them turned into a look of great satisfaction.

Lin Shu stepped off the blue stone and bowed in return, saying, "I've troubled Master with the path of cultivation."

Upon hearing this, the Taoist priest recalled his sermon from half a month ago, and his old face flushed red.

"That's how it should be."

He coughed lightly, then seemed to remember something and said calmly, "Good disciple, in the remaining days when you are forming your Dao embryo, will you need your master's protection?"

Lin Shu followed up, saying, "Thank you, Master."

The Taoist priest was in high spirits and asked with a satisfied smile, "When? When?"

"Right today, at this very moment," Lin Shu declared.

It is because young people are full of vigor and have a frivolous nature.

Three years of wasted time were also three years of tempering; he had long since solidified his essence, replenished his energy, and cleared his mind.

The spirit, energy, and vitality are united, awaiting only the right opportunity.

But then he softly called out the name "Qingmin," and the azure dragon instantly swam up and rested on his shoulder, its scales gleaming and radiating spiritual energy from all directions.

Metal, stone, grass, and trees share the same essence; spiritual inspiration and contemplation serve as a raft.

A wisp of dragon energy was swallowed into his belly, eventually forming a Dao embryo and attaining immortality.

Just as the light of day breaks through, and the wind and thunder are heard within the abdomen, the external landscape begins to appear, and the internal landscape surges. The physical form is solidified, and this is called a human immortal.

Upon seeing this, the Taoist priest praised, "What a remarkable achievement! The Dao embryo has just been formed, yet the work of solidifying the form is already nearing completion."

"Once the physical body begins to exude fragrance, with just over a month of quiet cultivation and refinement, focusing on breathing exercises to nurture the embryo, one can advance from a solidified human immortal to a longevity human immortal."

Upon hearing this, Lin Shu suppressed his emotions and bowed humbly, saying, "I will follow Master's teachings."

Once the Dao embryo is formed, the hard work will bear fruit.

He was so overjoyed that his body was consumed by excitement, causing his heart to temporarily ignite.

Upon hearing the words "quiet meditation," I was moved and began to reflect on myself.

With a moment of clarity, I felt my mind calm and my spirit clear.

Then, Lin Shu reached out and gently stroked Qing Min's soft scales on his chin, saying in a gentle voice, "You've worked hard, so take a good rest."

Over the years, he heard the Taoist priest say that spiritual essence is the innate nature of all things in heaven and earth, and is the basis for their spiritual enlightenment, transformation, and cultivation.

Although it is like a spring with a source, and can be drawn from a single thread without running out, it still consumes a great deal of the essence, and cannot be restored in less than half a month.

Qingmin was just born and is still very young; it will probably take even longer for him to recover.

as predicted.

Then they saw Qingmin lying on Linshu's shoulder, its dragon head lowered, its scales dim, its eyelids half-closed, looking drowsy.

Seeing this, Xiaodouer hugged the white crane and descended. Then, she couldn't help but clutch Linshu's Taoist robe tightly, her little face wrinkled, and she asked with a worried expression:

"Senior brother, senior brother, what's wrong with the dragon baby?"

Before Lin Shu could reply, Bao Dao Ren stroked his beard and said with a smile, "The Azure Dragon is unharmed, only tired and slightly drowsy."

Fish and shellfish are naturally different species, close to the energy of metal and wood. They only need to be fed with metal and wood-based foods and rested for a few days.

Don't worry, Little Bean.

Master's words were certainly true, and Xiaodou was immediately relieved.

Her big, round eyes fixed on Qingmin, and she said earnestly, word by word, "Baby dragon, go to sleep, be good~"

"After you get better, Little Bean and Little White Crane will take you to catch fish, really big fish."

The child's words were witty and his actions were charming, which immediately made Lin Shu and the other two chuckle softly.

The old Taoist stopped laughing, raised his eyes to look at Lin Shu, his gaze gentle and kind. He said, "Lin Shu, my disciple, now that you have entered the Immortal Rank, my Dao Yi Tai Miao Zhen Men has a successor."

Good, good, I am very pleased.

Time flies, and the child has grown up.

Having cultivated oneself to uphold the Way, one should then raise a large cup of wine.

A gentle breeze stirred, and the distance seemed to shrink to an inch. The white-browed Taoist was in high spirits. With a light tap of his foot, his figure disappeared into the mountains and fields.

I let out a loud laugh that echoed throughout the room: "Good disciple, your master will travel to the Three Mountains and Five Peaks to seek out old friends and have a drink."

The manuals and techniques of our sect were tied to the pine tree in your courtyard three years ago; please take them yourself.

Lin Shu gazed at the departing figure and silently murmured, "Thank you, Master."
