Before the Dragon Lord Banquet, Chu Chen had always had a big question in his mind.
The Dragon Lord is an innate spirit with vast supernatural powers and a respected status. He should stay away from the troubled world and sit high above, watching the spring, summer, autumn and winter, and the changes in the stars.
But Long Jun was very different from the immortal figure in his impression.
Not only does Long Jun often appear in Qingzhou to show his sage in front of people in the area, he is also keen on making friends, funding talented people, and engaging in venture capital...
All kinds of behaviors fell into Chu Chen's eyes, and he naturally thought that this Dragon Lord was extremely wealthy and had great ambitions.
It is precisely because of this that Chu Chen is extremely wary of Long Jun's funding.
There is no unreasonable preferential treatment in the world, and there is no such thing as pie-in-the-sky good things. Lord Long is always sponsoring young talents and running the Nine Nether League, so he must have a big plan.
But here comes the problem...
If Lord Long was greedy for power, he would not have refused Taizu Dachang's invitation back then.
For the dragon son and dragon girl?
This is indeed a reason, but it is enough for Lord Long to run the Nine Nether Alliance.
There is no need to break the bank to hand over young talents.
Back then, when Chu Chen had just entered Taoism and was not even a serious monk, Lord Long placed bets to support him, and his various behaviors became more and more abnormal.
However, after attending the Dragon King's banquet, Chu Chen had a vague idea.
What Long Jun seeks is not power, but his obsession with attaining enlightenment and becoming an immortal.
[Picture of Fish Leaping over the Dragon Gate] It seems that it is a game played while drinking to add to the fun, but in fact it is not the case. There is a universe in the picture scroll.
The Dragon Lord used the "Picture of Fish Leaping over the Dragon Gate" as a medium, and borrowed the power of heroes from all races to help him deduce and perfect the Dragon Clan's practice method. He learned from the strengths of other schools and created a world-shattering method to reach the sky, in order to achieve enlightenment and transcendence.
If Chu Chen guessed correctly, Lord Long would be able to know through some secret method any skill that was perfected in the [Fish Leaping over the Dragon Gate] sub-volume.
This can also be regarded as an example of pie in the sky.
You can have sex for free, but the wily Mr. Long will definitely not lose money.
"You are indeed very smart."
After Long Jun finished speaking, he thought to himself again:
"All practitioners in the world envy innate beings like me."
"Innate beings are indeed enviable. They are born with the earth, nurtured by nature, favored by heaven and earth, and are blessed by nature. As soon as they are born, they surpass most practitioners. Even if they are mediocre and do nothing, they can still be arrogant and arrogant, making others envious."
There was no arrogance on Mr. Long's face at all. It didn't look like a self-narration, but more like a narration without much emotion.
After saying that, he looked at Chu Chen with interest.
"Little friend Chu, are you envious?"
Chu Chen didn't think much and blurted out: "Envy!"
Needless to say, of course I am envious.
As soon as he was born, he lay down and became immortal, roaming the world, no one would envy him.
Diyuan Longjun was not surprised by Chu Chen's answer without thinking, and said leisurely:
"You only know one but not the other."
"There is no such thing as perfection in this world. Success comes from the innate beings, and failure comes from the innate beings. For me, it is too difficult to transcend and become an immortal!"
When the word "difficulty" was mentioned, Long Jun sighed.
Invisibly, a feeling of loneliness and depression filled the hall.
When Chu Chen first heard Long Jun's remarks, he was speechless in his heart. It was so extraordinary.
However, if he thought about it carefully, he could understand something.
Innate gods are loved by heaven and earth, and are endowed with extraordinary talents. Needless to say, there are benefits.
However, at a certain level, such as when one becomes an immortal and realizes the Tao, the origin of the innate gods becomes a burden and becomes a "shackle" that breaks the constraints of this world.
The innate spirit is the elite nurtured by this world. Once he transcends and ascends to heaven, it will be a great loss to the heaven and earth.
When Dragon Lord transcends and ascends to heaven, he will be subject to a stronger counterattack by the will of the world. The difficulty of realizing transcendence is far more difficult than that of monks of other races.
With the same Taoist cultivation, people from the human race and the demon race can ascend to heaven and travel across all realms, but the Dragon Lord can only be trapped in this world.
If you think about it, you can understand Long Jun's mood.
Of course, understanding is understanding, but Chu Chen still can't empathize with him.
He could only pick out nice things to say.
"By leveraging the power of talented people from all over the world to perfect your practice, you will surely create a heaven-shaking Dharma. You can expect to achieve enlightenment in the future!"
"Great kindness!"
Hearing this, Mr. Long gradually felt happy on his face:
"This [Picture of Fish Leaping over the Dragon Gate] is best deduced by a monk like you in the early stages of practice and has achieved success in practice, but he has lost his spirituality."
"Little friend Chu, are you willing to help me?"
Chu Chen was startled.
Sure enough, Lord Long extended an olive branch to him again.
However, it is slightly different from the last funding.
In the past, it was venture capital, recruiting and conquering, but this time, it obviously has the meaning of "equal cooperation".
This made Chu Chen a little flattered, and Long Jun seemed to value him a little too much.
Although he traveled three hundred feet back this time and modified and perfected the Dragon Clan's cultivation method, his performance was quite impressive. However, it did not reach the level of earth-shattering and unparalleled monsters. He only slightly surpassed the direct descendants of the Immortal Sect of the great sect.
Based on Long Jun's life experience, he has encountered countless "geniuses".
Not to mention, when Chu Chen was so weak, Lord Long looked at him differently.
Chu Chen did not answer face to face, but thought of Mr. Qingyun.
"Long Jun, did you know at a glance that I was an enlightened person?"
"It's natural!"
Long Jun smiled: "If you drink a few glasses of Yuehua Wine, I will indeed value it, but I won't make a big bet easily. It's a pity that you still refused."
Sure enough!
Chu Chen suddenly realized that all the top magical powers were truly amazing.
At this point, Chu Chen's doubts were gone.
"I am so grateful that I can be valued by Mr. Long. I dare to ask Mr. Long, how can I help Mr. Long?"
"good!"
When Long Jun heard this, his face showed joy.
"I have nothing to ask for, I only ask for talented people to perfect my practice for me."
"Don't worry, if you help me, I won't treat you badly."
"Just now, the junior from the Taixuan Sect agreed to deduce the cultivation method for me and traveled nine hundred feet, so I gave him the second chapter of the "Taixuan Treasure Book"... and the previous junior..."
Long Jun talked endlessly, giving examples one by one to prove his wealth and generosity.
All in all, as long as you help me, there will be many benefits.
Good guy, he also made a betting agreement, this Dragon King is very good at playing.
Chu Chen was surprised and quite moved.
He is not afraid of gambling with Long Jun, but he is afraid of "pie in the sky".
Long Jun's previous funding was described as "owing a favor", but in fact, in the end, you had to sign a contract and make a promise, and in the end you had to be at the mercy of others.
Now it is a cooperation with clear goals.
I will deduce the practice method for you so that you can learn from the strengths of other schools and help you perfect the method of transcendence and ascension to heaven.
You give me benefits.
The goals are clear, the terms are clear, everyone is mutually beneficial and cooperates with each other.
Not to mention, in addition to the superficial benefits, Chu Chen found that deducing the practice method in the "Fish Leaping over the Dragon Gate" was also very helpful for his own practice and enlightenment, which was a mutually beneficial good thing.
After making up his mind, Chu Chen didn't think much and started to fight for his own benefits.
"Long Lord, I am not very talented, but I am indeed willing to deduce the practice method for you, but... I have not studied extensively, and my knowledge and understanding of the method all come from the secret transmission of my master. I cannot deduce it at will, and my master's method is incomplete.
I’m afraid it’s hard to take on the important task!”
"It's easy to talk about. I have collected countless demon and human cultivation methods. Even if you don't mention it, I will take the initiative to give you the cultivation method."
