I don’t know whether it was because he was frightened by the strong men of the Jian tribe, or for other reasons, but the Thirteenth Prince Ao Dong seemed a little uninterested and in a low mood.
After thanking Chu Chen for his rescue and inviting Chu Chen to the East China Sea Dragon Palace, the Thirteenth Prince Ao Dong left in a hurry, as if he was running away.
Watching the Thirteenth Prince Ao Dong go away, the little kid looked at his senior brother, rubbed his little hands, impatiently:
"Senior brother~Senior brother, how was my performance just now?"
"Well done!"
Chu Chen smiled, touched the little ghost's head, took out a handful of spiritual incense from the bracelet fairy palace, and handed it to it:
"Here!"
"Thank you, senior brother, for the reward!"
The little ghost narrowed his eyes and held the incense in his hands, feeling extremely happy.
"By the way, senior brother, what exactly is dual cultivation? I've heard about it a long time ago, but I never taught it to me. Also, why does Sister Ying'er sneak into your cave every day and in the middle of the night..."
"Ahem~"
Chu Chen looked strange and explained perfunctorily.
"Sister Ying'er and I are fellow practitioners. We discuss knowledge and practice together, so we call it double cultivation. Don't think nonsense, and don't go out and talk nonsense."
"Oh~ I see, senior brother, when we do double cultivation, you rarely do double cultivation with me."
Chu Chen: "."
Chu Chen has a deep understanding of what "a lie requires countless lies to complete".
The little devil suddenly interrupted his conversation with the Thirteenth Prince Ao Dong. Naturally, he had given instructions in advance.
Just now, since he "sniffed" that the dragon clan being chased by the strong men of the Jian clan was the Thirteenth Prince Ao Dong, he had made a series of decisions in his heart.
There is no need to consider saving the Thirteenth Prince Ao Dong.
When he participated in the East China Sea Feast, the Thirteenth Prince Ao Dong gave him the treasures of heaven and earth to break through to the realm. Although it was an act of self-rescue for the group, he was still owed a favor.
This time I came to help, which was just a return of favor.
However, Chu Chen heard from his disciple Chu Baiqing a few days ago that Ao Dong, the thirteenth prince of the East China Sea Dragon Palace, went to the Diyuan Chamber of Commerce and was very concerned about his parents.
Disciple Chu Baiqing didn't know the inside story, but Chu Chen knew the thoughts of the Thirteenth Prince Ao Dong.
The two families of Donghai and Diyuan are family friends, and the thirteenth prince Ao Dong is not a constant stalker. He has a good family education in dealing with people. Many times it is not convenient for Qingying to speak.
Chu Chen naturally had to step forward and handle the matter well.
However, the Thirteenth Prince Ao Dong is not a playboy. He is very measured in his behavior and has some friendship with him. Chu Chen's method of dealing with him should not be too simple and crude, but should be more tactful.
Ever since, there was a scene where the kid accidentally "revealed the news".
Everything the little ghost said is true, so there is no flaw in it and it is very convincing.
If the Thirteenth Prince Ao Dong didn't believe it, he would send someone to Guangling Mountain Wanquan Taoist Temple to inquire later, and they would also be able to find out the Ying Palace next to Ling Xiao's residence, which would prove to be true what the little ghost boy said.
Then, all his unrealistic illusions will be shattered.
"With the temperament of the Thirteenth Prince, I think he will give up this time."
Chu Chen murmured to himself, and while he breathed a sigh of relief, his expression became complicated again.
The Thirteenth Prince Ao Dong may be able to persuade him to retreat, but if the news spreads, Di Yuan Longjun will
Chu Chen couldn't help but think of the tall and majestic figure of Lord Long in his mind, getting closer and closer.
Hiss! So terrifying!
As the saying goes, when soldiers come, they will block the water and cover it with soil.
Although Chu Chen was afraid of Lord Long, he had no reason to shy away from the responsibilities he should shoulder.
After thinking about it for a while, Chu Chen said, "A dead pig is not afraid of boiling water." He put aside all the distracting thoughts in his heart and left with the little devil and the trophies he had captured.
First, he went to Laoliudong Mansion and sat there for half an hour. After learning about the current situation of the [Mutual Aid Association], Chu Chen went to the Yuqin County Taoist Temple to pay his respects to his master, Taoist Master Xu Ping.
Taoist Master Xu Ping was very happy when he saw his eldest disciple coming. Without saying a word, he took Chu Chen to the square of the Taoist Temple to teach scriptures and Dharma to his disciples of Yuqin Taoist Temple.
I have been busy for a long time.
As the sun set in the west and the sunset covered the sky, Chu Chen returned to Guangling Mountain in Wanquan County.
Ling Xiao lived in the flower garden, Qingying was reborn for Guang, Chu Baiqing passed by and gave advice on cultivation. When they saw Chu Chen rushing back through the clouds and mist, a group of people surrounded him.
"Master~"
"Erlang, where have you been? I didn't see you back when Meng Shi sent the message."
Qingying looked concerned and said: "It's not peaceful outside right now. There's a war between our Dragon Clan and the Jian Clan, which has spread to all the eight states in the southwest. There's a possibility of wars happening everywhere. It's better not to go out these days."
"I was preaching at Yuqin Taoist Temple just now, and I didn't pay attention to the news about Dreamland."
Chu Chen explained casually, and then became interested in the battle between the Longjian clan and the two clans mentioned by Qingying.
In fact, while at Yuqin Taoist Temple and on the way back to Guangling Mountain, he heard the news that the Longjian clan was at full-scale war in the eight southwest states, and the fighting was fierce.
"Ying'er, how is the current situation of the battle?"
Qingying: "At first, it was a small fight under the Great Divine Power Realm. However, after my father, the Dragon King of the East China Sea, led the Great Divine Power Dragon Clan to take action, the conflict became more intense and we could not get involved, so I took Bai Qing back.
to Guangling Mountain."
"At this moment, the Dragon King of the West Sea and the Dragon King of the South Sea must have also arrived with their troops. The specific situation of the battle is unknown at the moment."
Chu Chen nodded slightly. The conflict had escalated to the level of a powerful person with great magical powers. The fifth-level Taoist cultivation level was indeed not qualified to interfere.
"Ying'er, you weren't attacked, were you?"
"Meet you."
When Qingying talked about this, she couldn't help but laugh a little: "A Jong tribe that has just entered the fifth level and has no eyes attacked us."
Chu Baiqing on the side was very happy when he heard this: "Master, that beast still wanted to capture me alive, but he was killed instantly by his adoptive mother with one move."
"Hahaha~"
The kid laughed loudly, and then urged excitedly:
"Brother, quickly bring out our trophies."
Chu Chen nodded repeatedly.
After beheading the red-haired god, his kung fu increased by thirty steps, and his total kung fu reached one thousand five hundred steps.
However, the Heart Temple does not have any magical powers to manifest.
Chu Chen felt it was quite a pity and had long thought of asking Qingying to identify the remains of the red-haired god to make amends.
Immediately, without saying a word, he made the magic formula with his hands and flicked his Taoist robe.
The next moment, the corpse of a huge ferocious beast, three feet long, covered in red hair, shaped like a tiger and leopard, and very similar to a dog, appeared out of thin air.
"boom!"
"Master, you also killed a Fong."
Guang Gengsheng and Chu Baiqing looked around in surprise when they saw Jie Jian still exuding powerful pressure after death.
However, the two little guys had poor eyesight and could not see the clues, so they thought they were ordinary fifth-grade ferocious beasts.
However, Qingying's eyesight is much more sinister.
The moment the body of the red-haired god Jian Wanglun appeared, she saw the identity of the Jian tribe in front of her and immediately exclaimed;
"Wanglun! Erlang, you actually killed Wanglun, the genius of the Yu clan."
Chu Chen was a little surprised: "Ying'er, do you know this dog is very famous?"
Qingying was quite excited: "His name is Wanglun. He is a direct descendant of the god Jian. He is extremely talented. He is the contemporary leader of the Jian tribe. He possesses fifth-grade super-grade Taoist magical powers. Erlang, how did you meet him and treat him like a demon?"
Beheaded?"
When Chu Chen saw Qingying asking about it, he didn't hide anything. After he refined himself into the [Wind Letter Spirit Seal], he led his troops into the Yuqin Mountains for marching and training. He met the Thirteenth Prince Ao Dong who was being chased by two red-haired dogs. He
The incident of coming to the rescue was explained in detail.
"I can beat Wanglun, but it's not easy to kill him. The killing power of top military monks is really amazing."
Qingying's face was full of envy.
Chu Chen laughed loudly: "I was able to kill Wanglun, thanks to the interception of the Thirteenth Prince Ao Dong. Otherwise, I would not have been able to kill Wanglun just by leading my troops to chase him."
Qingying nodded slightly. One-on-one, it is indeed not easy to kill a fifth-grade super-grade.
However, this also reflects Chu Chen's Taoist and magical powers from the side.
"Erlang, you have not yet perfected your fifth-level Daoxing Kung Fu. If you do, and your magical power goes even further, I'm afraid I won't be your match by then."
Chu Chen smiled and couldn't help but look forward to it.
Among the fifth-grade Yuanjun, there is still one statue [Jin Yuanjun] that has not been enlightened.
Muscle means strength!
[Jin Yuanjun] Among the five fifth-grade Yuanjun, he has the greatest improvement in power and magical power.
After enlightening [Jin Yuanjun], his Taoist and magical powers will undergo a qualitative change, and his strength will skyrocket.
By that time, I am afraid that even if he does not use the magical power of soldiers and horses [Black Evil Grand Marshal] and [Liujia Qinglong], he will still be invincible at the fifth-grade super-grade level.
"Ying'er, don't brag. Maybe you'll be the first to break through the supernatural power."
Qingying shook her head: "The realm of great supernatural powers is far away, and I don't know that it will only take a monkey year, a horse, and a month to break through. But Erlang, you have an opportunity. This red-haired god Wanglun has a god orb in his body. You have cultivated carefully over the years and have a solid foundation. You can
Refining the divine orb and practicing."
When Chu Chen heard this, he was suddenly surprised.
"The Divine Orb? Is it the same as the original Orb of Divine Envoy Wanggu last time?"
Qingying nodded slightly: "Yes, this Wanglun has entered the fifth-grade super-grade level, and has initially condensed the original energy of Shenhuang. It can be tempered to produce the Roaring Pearl. Although it is not as good as the original orb of Shenhuang Wanggu, but
It will make it easier for you to initiate [Sujigen-kun] and save you almost half a year of hard work."
Chu Chen was overjoyed when he heard this.
What an unexpected surprise.
It can be seen from this that the Thirteenth Prince Ao Dong is a very particular person.
He must have known the value of Wanglun's corpse, and he didn't even take advantage of him when he took the initiative to choose.
Putting aside everything else, the Thirteenth Prince Ao Dong is still worth getting to know.
"Ying'er, how do you temper the divine orb? Do you still have to ask the Dragon Lord to help?"
"No need, I'll take action as long as I'm a fifth-grade super-level Jian clan. It's just my first time to temper the Jian beads. It may be a bit slow. It will take ten days and a half."
"It doesn't matter."
Chu Chen nodded slightly and handed the red-haired god Jian Wanglun to Qingying without saying a word, looking forward to it in his heart.
After entering the spiritual world, thanks to the teachings of his master, Taoist Master Xu Ping, Chu Chen basically never took the initiative to hunt monsters and elves, plunder inner elixirs, cultivate demon beads, refine elixirs, and improve his cultivation.
There is no other reason. This is too utilitarian and can easily go astray.
When the time comes, greed will take over, and you will not distinguish between right and wrong, good or evil, hunting monsters everywhere to improve your Taoist practice, and you will fall into heretical ways, or even evil heretics.
Of course, Chu Chen just didn't take the initiative. If he was slaying demons and accidentally got a treasure that improved his cultivation, he wouldn't be pedantic and refuse it.
With the Dragon King of the Four Seas joining the war, the war between the Long and Jian clans became more and more intense, causing a huge turmoil in the eight southwest states.
Just as Chu Chen guessed, the Dachang Dynasty did not sit idly by and took action immediately to help the Dragon Clan and attack the Jie Clan.
On the other side, the demon kingdom under the Southern Barbarian Alliance did not stand by and came to help the Jian tribe.
As a result, the conflict suddenly escalated. From the grudge battle between the Longhou clan, it suddenly evolved into a war between the Dachang Dynasty and the demons. The entire eight southwest states became a mess, and chaos occurred frequently.
Moreover, this conflict was not a small fight between powerful people with great supernatural powers, but countless powerful people with great supernatural powers participated in the war, and the fight turned into darkness.
As the saying goes, when gods fight, mortals suffer.
Many human cities, indigenous monster tribes, and scattered villages were affected, causing disasters from the sky and disappearing out of thin air, which was quite miserable.
This battle lasted for two days and two nights, and the mountains and rivers turned pale, and the sun and moon lost all light.
In the end, the demons and ferocious beasts were defeated in the wilderness, the dynasty prospered, and the dragon tribe's small victory ended the chaos in the eight southwest states.
Without the ferocious interference of demons, rain praying ceremonies were held as usual across the eight states in the southwest.
Perhaps it was because some strong men of the Jian tribe spread the drought demon fire widely and triggered the drought, which consumed a large amount of drought calamity energy, which made it easier to pray for rain later. Dragons appeared one after another in various places, flying in the clouds and spreading rain, bringing down sweet dew.
The drought is receding step by step, and the eight states in the southwest that were riddled with holes are expected to regain vitality.
One day after the war, an envoy from the Immortal Court arrived at Guangling Mountain in Wanquan County and delivered two decrees.
On that day, at the critical juncture of the Wanquan Rain Praying Ceremony, Chu Chen rushed to the rain praying altar first and showed off his magical powers despite the catastrophe. He succeeded in praying for rain and made a great contribution to the drought in eight states in the southwest.
Naturally, Xianting has not forgotten him.
No, the first decree of the Immortal Court is to reward him.
Xianting was very generous and rewarded him with 300,000 jade coins and 100 immortal tributes.
In this way, plus the 535 immortal tributes Chu Chen had saved before, the total immortal tribute reached more than 600.
However, compared to the reward, the real reward was that Chu Chen showed up in front of the prince, Mr. Ming Jing, and all the high-ranking officials of the Immortal Courtyard. He left a deep impression on the high-ranking officials of the Immortal Courtyard, and he was severely punished by the senior officials of the Immortal Courtyard.
A wave of fame.
This is an opportunity that Xian Gong cannot buy with jade money, which will greatly help Chu Chen's future development.
The second legal decree is the imperial decree.
It's not for Chu Chen, but for his disciple Chu Baiqing.
However, the decree of Dachang Xianting is a bit strange. It only conferred Chu Baiqing as "Yunquan Xiaolongjun", without any rank or rank, and there was no specific title of god or priest.
Chu Chen pulled his apprentice Chu Baiqing and said to the Immortal Court envoy Salamander Qingyi who had dealt with him several times:
"Fellow Daoist Ni, what is the purpose of this decree?"
Salamander Qingyi glanced at Chu Chen and Chu Baiqing, with complicated thoughts, and said with envy:
"Xianting has decreed that your apprentice is the Little Dragon Lord of Yunquan. The decree of the decree means that the Little Dragon Lord can connect with any water vein in Yunzhou to become a god, and even eventually control the water veins in Yunzhou."
Chu Chen was shocked when he heard this, and immediately understood why Ni Qingyi, the messenger of Immortal Court, looked envious.
For Shinto monks, it is not an exaggeration to say that they can reach heaven in one step.
With this gradeless imperial decree, as long as his disciple Chu Baiqing's Immortal cultivation level continues to improve, his Divine level will be automatically promoted, without the need for successive Immortal Court seals.
If you practice the ninth-grade Taoism, you will be the ninth-grade water god;
If you practice to the eighth level of Taoism, you will be the eighth level water god. The highest level is the first level water uncle, who is in charge of the water veins of a state.
Good guy, Xianting is really generous.
