Flood Dragon Walks the River!

Liang Qu's heart skipped a beat upon hearing this.

What's going on? How did it become such a bad omen?

It's not surprising that the Proper Seal why is the Improper Seal a dragon? Xu Zishuai hurriedly asked, "Master, what exactly is going on? Why is Junior Brother's Fate Standard so ominous?"

"The Chief of Scaled Insects can be both hidden and visible. They ascend to the sky at the Spring Equinox equinox and dive into the abyss at the autumn equinox. The great river surges and the Soaring Celestial Dragon. This Improper Seal is Flood Dragon Walks the River!"

"Flood Dragon Walks the River?"

"That's right, there are two interpretations of this Improper Seal. First, this dragon represents your junior brother, who will surely cross the river and transform into a dragon in the future! Second, this dragon is not your junior brother, but is even more dangerous; it is someone else who transforms into a dragon, clashing with your junior brother! Only this interpretation fits the meaning of Improper Seal!"

Legend has it that a snake transforms into a jiao after five hundred years, and a jiao transforms into a dragon after one thousand years.

The snake cultivated for five hundred years and transformed into a "Jiao", hiding in lakes, deep pools, reservoirs, tributaries of rivers, and underground caves.

After a thousand years of cultivation, a "jiao" will travel along major rivers and enter the sea to transform into a dragon.

The so-called "journey across the river" refers to the process by which the dragon travels along the main channel of a river to the sea. During this journey, it is accompanied by astonishing phenomena such as violent storms, floods, and swollen rivers, which can submerge everything along the way.

Whether Liang Qu was "swept away by the river" or "forced to swim away by the river," it was extremely dangerous, no less so than the Owl God Steals Food! "What a great Fate Standard!"

The other fellow disciples were speechless with astonishment.

An ordinary person who drowns in a river will certainly not exhibit the Improper Seal of the Flood Dragon Walks the River; he will only be empty-handed and suffer a tragic disaster.

Therefore, even if Liang Qu was indeed "forced to flee the river," it is enough to prove that his future is extraordinary, at least enough to make him a rival to the "dragon seed."

This is why having Improper Seal is a good thing; at least you won't be mediocre and unproductive.

It was completely unexpected that the youngest junior brother would have such a Fate Standard. Even if it was only a possibility, or even a very small possibility, it was still extraordinary! Yang Dongxiong had not anticipated this at all.

At his age, he values a disciple's character most, talent second. Even if he is not good at it, he will still be a Galloping Horse Martial Master who will receive a monthly stipend, which is dozens of times better than that of an ordinary person.

I never expected that the disciple I took in out of curiosity would turn out to be such a treasure.

Once he regained his senses, Xiang ChangSong hurriedly asked, "What about Junior Brother's Proper Seal?"

"The Proper Seal is even stranger. I couldn't find a corresponding one. I can only associate it with the fact that this ape belongs to the water element and is an ominous creature. But I don't know why this ominous creature would reside in the Proper Seal."

It can be said that an evil spirit occupies the righteous position, and misfortune and righteousness combine, making it difficult to predict the outcome. Both the Proper Seal and the Improper Seal are inauspicious, which is why I said it is extremely ominous!

Liang Qu understood.

Wu Zhiqi subdued an entire river of Water Monkey, so fierce that even several celestial beings couldn't subdue him.

Xiangliu had nine heads cut off, yet it was an evil god who had offended Da Yu and still survived.

As for crossing the river.

Only fierce dragons dare to cross the river, and only vicious tigers dare to step down! Great news, fantastic news!

He chuckled and said, "My fellow disciples don't need to worry too much. This Fate Standard indicates that I have the potential to become a dragon, which is definitely a good thing."

With the person in question so optimistic, everyone's worries eased somewhat.

Indeed, having a dragon in one's destiny is a very powerful Fate Standard, though it is certainly dangerous, and many people desire it but cannot attain it.

Moreover, I believe in fate but don't accept it.

The methods of Fate Standard are not absolute; just be more careful and attentive, but there's no need to be overly anxious.

Xu Zishuai joked, "Junior brother, you're likely to achieve great things in the future. When you become successful, please help your senior brothers out, at least get me a Spirit Artifact."

Liang Qu replied solemnly, "That's how it should be."

Yang Dongxiong nodded. "Although Fate Standard is great, one should not be overly ambitious. It only indicates one possibility for the future and should not be taken as an inviolable rule."

Your Proper Seal water, so cultivating in a watery place will be beneficial and provide you with a strong fortuitous opportunity. This is the method of harmonizing the five elements.

However, since your Improper Seal is also associated with Water, you are prone to misfortune in watery or marshy areas, so you should be careful to stay away from them.

Whether it's near or far, whether to go or come, you must consider all the factors and make your own decision.

Liang Qu nodded solemnly and bowed deeply, saying, "Thank you, Master, for granting me this mandate. I will remember it forever."

"Well, it's getting late, everyone should go home."

The moonlight broke through the clouds, casting a silvery glow.

"Is it Flood Dragon Walks the River? "Liang Qu pondered to himself.

Everyone assumed that the Flood Dragon in the story of Changjiao was a metaphor for a hero, but he thought of the Flood Dragon that fishermen in the Jianghuai River basin had been talking about.

Flood Dragon lurk in the marshes and lakes of the Jianghuai Marshlands, sleeping for a full sixty years. When they awaken, they will stir up trouble.

And the stream under the South Stone Bridge is said to have flowed out after the Flood Dragon awoke.

As Liang Qu's horizons broadened, he became increasingly convinced that the Flood Dragon truly existed and was not just a figment of imagination.

The phrase "Flood Dragon Walks the River" may not be a metaphor, but rather a real "Flood Dragon".

"Senior Brother Hu, let's practice a few more moves."

Martial Arts School, Liang Qu didn't go to rest; instead, he volunteered to help.

Hu Qi was taken aback, then nodded and said, "Of course it's possible."

Liang Qu took off his coat, draped it over a rack, picked up a two-meter-long stick, and channeled his Qi and Blood into the Bow Strength Method, attacking Hu Qi.

"Shopkeeper Chen!"

"Young Master Liang! We apologize for not being able to greet our distinguished guest properly."

Evergreen Medical Hall, Shopkeeper Chen strode out from behind the counter and bowed respectfully.

Several patients who were seeking medical treatment glanced over, wondering who the newcomer was and why Shopkeeper Chen so well.

Although Liang Qu was accepted as a personal disciple, he rarely appeared in public, and outsiders didn't know him very well.

He came to the clinic this time on Hu Qi's advice to learn herbal identification and basic bone-setting and bone-setting skills.

These things can be learned anywhere; there's no difference between finding an experienced doctor and having your senior colleagues teach you. There's no need to trouble your senior colleagues specifically.

The clinic has good facilities, and occasionally a patient can come in to practice, which makes the treatment even more effective.

With the money in hand, I also managed to grab a few good medicines to boost my Blood Qi, thus speeding Flesh Refinement process.

After their conversation, Shopkeeper Chen nodded repeatedly and called for a servant to fetch the medicine.

"Young Master Liang, you are welcome to come and learn medicine. Several of your senior brothers have also come and even treated patients. It just depends on when you have time."

"Except for the time between 1-3 PM and Shen Time when I need to go to the academy, I'm fine with anything else. Shopkeeper, please choose a time when the doctors aren't busy for me."

Shopkeeper Chen thought for a moment and said, "Then let's go from 5:15 pm to Xu Time every day. It's an hour. There are fewer people coming to see me in the afternoon. It's just right for Ninth Young Master to come here after he goes to the academy. We're both in the northeast corner, so it won't save him a trip back and forth."

"That's convenient." Liang Qu nodded. "Then I'll come over to study Spring Festival?"

"We eagerly await Young Master Young Master Liang's arrival."

Shopkeeper Chen bowed deeply and was helped up by Liang Qu.

"It is I who have troubled you, Shopkeeper Chen. I have never been exposed to this kind of knowledge before. I am dull-witted and can only make up for my shortcomings with diligence. I hope Shopkeeper Chen will be understanding."

"Ninth Young Master, you're too kind," Shopkeeper Chen said with a few words of flattery.

"Shopkeeper, the medicine."

The servant carefully prepared the medicine packet, tied it securely with a thin rope, and brought it over.

Shopkeeper Chen reached out and took it, then handed it to Liang Qu.

Liang Qu counted the money, and after confirming that there was no problem, he took out the silver.

Shopkeeper Chen picked up the steelyard, looked around, and asked in a low voice while weighing the items: "Young Master Liang, do you know what the Zhao Residence did a few days ago? The town has been in a state of panic these past two days, and no one knows why such a large Zhao Residence has been reduced to ruins."

"Of course, it's just my curiosity. If it's inconvenient for you to say, Young Master Liang, please don't be shy. But if it is, could you please give me a hint so this old man can have some peace of mind?"

"I can't say too much, but I can let the shopkeeper know that the matter is over and there's no need to worry too much."

Shopkeeper Chen suddenly realized, nodded, and said nothing more, seeing Liang Qu out of the clinic.
