I have the best bloodline

"Shall we go to Blackwater City first, ask Old Mosquito to arrange a place to stay, and then come here to eat seafood?"
The aunt looked at Su Yan and asked for his opinion, whether to go to Blackwater City first or stay here for a while.
"Let's find Sister Hongling first? Let her introduce some tourist attractions that don't rip off tourists."
After looking around for a moment, Su Yan felt a little sorry for his purse and looked at his aunt.
Having grown accustomed to a life of hardship in the flower-growing area, Su Yan felt a pang of heartache upon seeing the signs advertising the consumption of spirit stones.
There was a slight mishap yesterday that prevented an update, so I got up early today to make up for yesterday's missed update.
(End of this chapter)
Chapter 220 As expected, my predecessor was no ordinary person.
Blackwater City is not far from the coastal city; my aunt could reach it in no time.
Su Yan also saw the Black River that his aunt had mentioned. Unlike the ink-black river he had imagined, the water of this Black River was actually very clear. The black color that he could see with the naked eye was the color of the riverbed soil.
Heishui City is built along the water and backed by Didu Mountain, with its buildings scattered at the foot of the mountain in a staggered manner.
This place is unlike the plains of Xia Yu; instead, it is a typical mountainous terrain. In addition, due to its proximity to the southern prefecture, the temperature is very hot, which makes Su Yan feel a little bit like he is home.
"By the way, Auntie, what kind of feast are we having? Are there any customs or traditions we should be aware of?"
Walking through Blackwater City, Su Yan looked at his aunt who was contacting Hong Ling through the sound transmission jade and asked her a question.
This was Su Yan's first time attending a banquet, and he really didn't know anything about banquets in the cultivation world. So when they were approaching the Mosquito Daoist's family, he specifically asked his aunt if there were any things he needed to pay attention to, so as not to make any mistakes because he didn't know anything.
"What do I need to be careful about? There's nothing to be careful about. We can just go and eat and drink. There are no taboos," my aunt said casually.
There's no need to be particular about wedding banquets. Everyone just goes and eats and drinks to their heart's content. It's not like the bride and groom have to be so particular. You can't expect everyone to give gifts and then have to watch their expressions during the meal, can you?
During their conversation, the aunt and nephew arrived at the location of the Mosquito Taoist's family. It was not a grand mansion or a magnificent, ethereal building nestled against the mountain, but rather a street.
"Old bug!"
As we approached the street with its signboard, the Mosquito Taoist with long red hair descended from the sky, landing and giving his aunt a big hug with a beaming smile:
"I'm so happy to see you!"
"Alright, alright," Auntie said, pushing away Hong Ling who was rubbing against her with a look of displeasure. "You personally came to deliver the invitation to me, how could you not come? Have all the other guys arrived yet?"
"The True Lord of Hatching Chicks and Daoist Firefly have just sat down when you sent this message," Hong Ling said with a smile.
"The True Lord Who Hatches Chicks???"
Su Yan was about to greet Sister Hong Ling, but Sister Hong Ling's surprising words made all the words Su Yan was about to say stuck in his throat.
Not all cultivators possess a Daoist name. Generally, cultivators who possess a Daoist name are those who have abandoned worldly attachments and chosen to retreat to the mountains for cultivation. When they forget the world, they will give up their original name and replace it with their Daoist name.
Hatching Chicks True Lord, are you serious? Your Daoist title is the name you carry with you for life!
“Uh, the situation regarding the hatching of chicks is complicated, True Lord.” Hong Ling, seeing Su Yan looking at her with a question, didn’t seem too surprised and answered Su Yan’s question with very practiced and concise language:
"The True Lord of Hatching Chicks originated from Burning Wind Valley. When he graduated, he gave himself the Daoist name 'Burning Heaven and Overturning Sea Daoist.' Then, a certain golden crow flying in the sky was unhappy with it, blocked him, dragged him up to the sky, and beat him up for three weeks. So, the Burning Heaven and Overturning Sea Daoist officially changed his name to True Lord of Earth Fire Overturning Sea."
"As a result, Jiao and Ba joined forces with Kun to force her to change her name to True Lord of Hatching Chicks. It is said that Kun, who was skilled in music, used an erhu as a hammer and swung it around to beat True Lord of Earth Fire Overturning the Sea."
Su Yan was stunned.
Auntie glanced at Su Yan and concluded, "So, when choosing a Taoist name, you shouldn't choose one that's easy to offend people or spread bad luck, otherwise you'll attract some unexpected trouble."
The Burning Heaven and Overturning Sea True Lord is truly wild. The term "Burning Heaven" basically refers to the Golden Crow Clan. Moreover, the entire Golden Crow Clan is known for its mischievous nature. Even the Three-Legged Golden Crow Ancestor is a red-haired boy.
If you provoke a group of mischievous kids, they'd be doing a disservice to their prestigious name, Golden Crow, if they didn't chase after you and bully you.
The term "overthrowing the sea" is quite powerful, implying the overthrow of the dragon race's rule over the endless sea. True dragons may not pay attention to the True Lord of Burning Heaven and Overthrowing the Sea, but those sub-dragons and the demon beasts that inherit most of the dragon bloodline are very grateful to their parents who bestowed upon them the powerful bloodline of the dragon race.
Anyone who dares to criticize the dragon race will be met with strong opposition from the dragon descendants, who will then resort to violence.
After the three Dragon Clan heroes blocked the threat, the Earth Fire Overturning the Sea True Lord directly changed his name to Hatching Chicks. His intention was obviously to mock the Golden Crows from before. You are so majestic, but do we Dragon Clan have no shame?
"6"
After listening to his aunt's explanation and clarifying the history of the name change of the Burning Heaven and Overturning Sea True Monarch, Su Yan couldn't help but exclaim "Six!"
What a remarkable chick-hatching lord! He's truly amazing. Despite being attacked by both the Golden Crow and the Dragon Clan, he managed to save his life. Su Yan sincerely admires him.
"No, no. I feel that my name is actually quite good, and I don't need any Daoist name." Su Yan quickly waved his hand to indicate that he did not need a Daoist name.
Aside from the Su family's wolfish ambitions and the North Sea Dragon Clan's ruthlessness, Su Yan felt that his life was quite good and he had no intention of abandoning everything to live in seclusion in the mountains, so he naturally did not need a Daoist name.
"Hahaha"
Hongling smiled and led the way, taking the three of them to an archway about two hundred feet from the street. Inside, there were pavilions and towers, and a huge black fish pond, symbolizing the gathering of wealth, was located in the courtyard, but there were no fish in the black fish pond.
Instead, some large mosquito larvae were slowly swimming in the black pool.
Considering that Sister Hongling's true form is the Blood-Drinking Demon Mosquito, it's quite normal for her to keep some lackeys at home.
"Ancestor."
Hongling led the aunt and nephew into the tea room. The two Taoist priests who were sitting with their backs to the door turned around when the girl at the head of the tea table stood up.
"Old Bug, I didn't know you had this kind of taste too!"
The two Taoist priests, a man and a woman, looked at the aunt with a mocking expression and teased, "You've secretly raised a little fox demon without a word, and you're living quite a prosperous life!"
The middle-aged Taoist priest beside her smiled and nodded to his aunt as a greeting.
"I don't care what you say!"
The aunt rolled her eyes at the female Taoist priest, then looked at Su Yan and pointed to the female Taoist priest, introducing her: "This is the True Lord of Burning Heaven and Overturning Seas that we just mentioned, and the one next to her is the Firefly Taoist."
After introducing the two to Su Yan, the aunt then introduced Su Yan to the other two:
"He's the little fox I adopted in early winter. He doesn't have any other talents, but he knows how to make money to support me! The cultivators in Xia Yucheng call him the Wealth-Bringing Little Fox Fairy!"
Auntie put her hand on Su Yan's shoulder, her face beaming with pride: "Come on, come on, with Lao Wen, we can make a table of mahjong."
"It's a pleasure to meet you all, seniors. I am Su Yan."
Su Yan obediently clasped his hands in a fist and bowed, but his gaze kept lingering on the female Taoist.
Is this the True Lord Who Hatches Chicks?
I was so engrossed in reading an old novel that I'm now completely lost in it; all I can think of are Bai Jin's witty and sarcastic remarks.
Isn't it just about finding a setting?

Chapter 221 Huang Yin (Third update, bonus chapter for monthly votes)
"Since we're going to set up a gambling table, Xiaoyin, go and arrange the gambling equipment for me!"
Seeing that her aunt was eager to play cards, Hongling raised her hand and instructed the girl in the pale yellow dress who was originally sitting in the main seat and in charge of brewing tea to entertain the guests to go to the pavilion to prepare some mahjong tiles and have the maid prepare some tea and snacks.
"Yes, Ancestor, I'll make the arrangements." Huang Yin immediately agreed when the Ancestor spoke, and turned to leave the tea room to prepare the gambling table for the Ancestors.
Within the Huang family of Blackwater City, Hongling's status as an ancestor is beyond question; she is even listed as the first ancestor on the revised family genealogy.
Therefore, everyone in the Huang family, young and old, addressed Mosquito Daoist as "Ancestor," and addressed his fellow Daoists as "Senior."
Although Su Yan was only fifteen or sixteen years old, even the old man with a cane in the Huang family of Blackwater City would call him "senior".
The Huang family has always believed in prioritizing those who are accomplished, and they never consider the age of non-blood relatives when choosing a cultivator.
Even if it's an infant, as long as his cultivation level is high enough, then the diaper-covered baby in front of him is a senior!
"Stop! Stop! Stop!"
Just as the Chick Hatchery True Monarch raised his hand to touch Su Yan, whom his aunt had adopted, his aunt slapped his hand across the back of his hand, looking at him warily and saying:
"Don't touch my lucky fox spirit. If you get it dirty and I lose spirit stones, I'll hold you responsible."
Su Yan's luck in other areas is average, but his luck at the gambling table can be described as that of a "child of destiny." What's even more terrifying is that anyone who touches Su Yan can also share in his good fortune in gambling.
Auntie was ready to avenge herself, so how could she let the Chick-Hatching True Monarch touch Su Yan? Therefore, when she saw the Chick-Hatching True Monarch trying to touch Su Yan's head, Auntie directly slapped away the Chick-Hatching True Monarch's not-so-clean little hand.
"Tsk tsk."
The Chick Hatchery Master gave his aunt a disdainful look, raised his left hand to touch the back of his right hand that had been slapped, and said:
"Fine, I won't let you touch me then, you stingy little thing. Just wait until I show you what feng shui and metaphysics are all superstition. Believing in gods and immortals is no substitute for believing in luck!"
Su Yan: "."
Senior Fu, what you said makes sense. It's just that my talent might be a bit strange, so please be careful. My aunt carried me all the way here.
Based on past experience, you should be sweating on your forehead after one lap, your heart rate should be accelerating after the second lap, and you should feel extremely irritable and restless after the third lap.
One round consists of four rounds. If the amount doubles by five or ten coins of spirit stones, the total amount on the gambling table after three rounds should reach over a thousand catties of spirit stones.
........................
Although there are betting options for mahjong, allowing gamblers outside the mahjong table to place bets, Su Yan wasn't very interested in it, so he didn't go with his aunt.
Su Yan believed that the spirit stones on the gambling table never belonged to the gamblers.
Although he was lucky in gambling, he was not invincible. His previous battle with Jin Lin of Luoxing City, in which they fought all night and ended in a draw, already showed that his luck in gambling was limited.
Facing cultivators with equally promising fortune, the best outcome would be a draw, and they wouldn't gain any advantage.
Luck in gambling can only be considered one type of emergency resource.
"Senior Su, aren't you going to participate in the betting?"
Su Yan, who was organizing her storage rings, suddenly heard someone calling her from behind. She turned her head and saw the yellow-clad girl who had already left standing behind her.
Su Yan shook his head and said, "I'm not good at gambling. My aunt and madam don't usually play with me."
"I see."
The girl in yellow nodded with a look of sudden understanding, and politely said, "In that case, why don't I, Huang Yin, lead Senior Su around the city? The Ancestor was worried that Senior Su would be bored here, so he specially sent Yin'er to keep him company."
Su Yan doesn't like gambling, so Hong Ling specially instructed Huang Yin to come and take Su Yan around to explore the area, and not to neglect her.
Aunt Su Yan gave the Huang family a lot of face, so the Huang family naturally couldn't possibly neglect their distinguished guest.
Auntie came to the Huang family not mainly to attend the wedding banquet, but to support Hongling!
How can a dignified Earth Immortal host a banquet and not even be able to invite a cultivator of the same level?
