The South Sea Dragon Race, the Nine-Headed Serpent God
A few days later, at noon.
Hundred Lands University, on the Qi Gathering Platform the floating mountain.
Are you sure you're not coming home today?
Standing behind Lü Yan, the Nüshi asked this question with some surprise.
As a professor of "Astrology" at Hundred Lands University, the Nüshi is also one of the teachers who has the best relationship with Lü Yan.
Seemingly seeing traces of an old friend in Lü Yan, the Nüshi took extra care of him.
She even allowed him to use her credentials to enter and exit the library and borrow various levels of banned books, even if he didn't get into the Hundred Lands University. Just like this time, the Nüshi noticed that Lü Yan had just come out of the library and arrived at the "Qi Gathering Platform" on the mountaintop, so she rushed over. After all, if the Nüshi remembered correctly, tomorrow was supposed to be the day Lü Yan held the longevity ceremony and ate the peaches of Peach of Immortality.
Instead of going home to prepare, the other party came to Hundred Lands University. It seems suspicious.
"My husband isn't home right now, and I don't like things to get too lively."
The Nüshi narrowed her eyes slightly, not believing Lü Yan's explanation.
"Did you argue with your husband again?"
The "old man" mentioned by the Nüshi was Lü Yan's maternal grandfather, who was also the former village chief of Li Household Village.
Ever since Lü Yan's mother remarried, the relationship between the father and daughter has never been good.
It wasn't until Lü Yan was born and brought back to Li Household Village by Xiluo that the old village chief took on the responsibility of caring for his grandson.
Since then, the old village chief's spirits have visibly improved, and he even forcibly cultivated the supernatural Divine Ability of "Primordial Spirit Leaving the Body" using unorthodox methods.
The reason why the old village chief insisted on cultivating this Divine Ability is also very simple.
During the Refining Qi into Spirit Transformation stage, apart from [Primordial Spirit Leaving the Body], no other Divine Ability allows one to travel thousands of miles a day and freely travel between two places. Initially, the old village chief only wanted to repair the relationship between father and daughter.
But as time went on, the old village chief developed a habit of "wandering in his mind" whenever he had nothing to do, leaving only Lü Yan at home to take care of his physical body. Because of this, Lü Yan's mother often argued with the old village chief.
Do I look like that kind of person?
In front of the Nüshi who was practically his elder, Lü Yan rolled his eyes, revealing his true nature.
"You're not just like that, you are that kind of person."
"It's a good thing your mother isn't here, otherwise the three of you would have definitely torn the house apart."
As a fellow resident of Li Household Village, the Nüshi knew all too well the temperament of the old village chief and his family.
When the old village chief's daughter got married, it almost caused a huge uproar.
Even after giving birth to Lü Yan, his daughter didn't move back in, which shows how deep the conflict between the father and daughter was.
"Well, that's why my mother rarely comes back."
With an awkward laugh, Lü Yan knew his own situation and didn't continue to argue.
"So you came to this ' Qi Gathering Platform ' to cultivate your Perception Method ahead of time?"
The "Qi Gathering Platform" of this Hundred Lands University is the area with the most abundant Yuan Qi within a radius of a thousand miles.
Those floating mountains are nodes of an Formation, continuously guiding the primordial Heaven and Earth Primordial Qi towards this Qi Gathering Platform. Normally, apart from students who enjoy cultivation, few people are willing to come here on their own initiative.
After all, there are no entertainment facilities here; it's just a huge open-air platform without any insulation.
"Hmm, I'd like to try."
Lü Yan's words successfully made the Nüshi frown once again.
"I'm not one of those old fogies who insist you have to be at least eighteen before you can practice the ' Perception Method '."
"But you're eating the Peach of Immortality tomorrow, is it really necessary to rush things by just one day?"
Upon hearing this, Lü Yan fell silent instantly.
Upon seeing this, the Nüshi immediately understood, and then took the initiative to sit down next to Lü Yan and said with a smile.
"Did you run into some trouble? Is it related to your trip to the library?"
"I checked your browsing history, and it seems you borrowed mostly books related to the Dragon Race genealogy today?"
Tell me about it, maybe I can help you solve some problems?
Although the Nüshi was not very old compared to other professors at Hundred Lands University.
However, as a professor who was promoted exceptionally, the Nüshi's knowledge far surpassed that of other professors, especially regarding some obscure topics. Lü Yan was naturally aware of this, so after a brief hesitation, he took the initiative to ask.
"It's not really troublesome."
"I just suddenly wanted to know some things related to Dragon Race."
"As far as I know, the eldest prince of the South Sea Dragon Race suddenly dispatched troops north to Black Water Pool three years ago and wiped out a Nine-Headed Serpent."
"That Black Water Pool is adjacent to the Hundred Lands Mountain Range, and the Nine-Headed Serpent is the guardian of that region. Why does the South Sea Dragon Race dare to be so presumptuous?" "Or is it that the benefits of eliminating the Nine-Headed Serpent far outweigh their fear of the Hundred Lands Mountain Range?"
This was the most perplexing point for Lü Yan: what gave the Dragon Race of the South Sea the audacity to do such a thing?
Here, it must be mentioned that, perhaps because they are directly adjacent to the Hundred Lands Mountain Range and have the intimidation of Guanyin of the South Sea Guanyin, the South Sea Dragon Race is the most timid and fearful of the Four Seas Dragon Race.
"What you're talking about, I actually do know a little about."
"Actually, things aren't as complicated as you think, at least not on the surface."
The Nüshi chuckled knowingly, then explained without further suspense.
"The South Sea Dragon Race is different from the other Four Seas Dragon Race."
"At most, they can be considered one of the various tribes of the South Sea, not South Sea rulers."
"This is partly because their strength is far weaker than other branches of the Dragon Race."
"But on the other hand, it's also because the situation in the South Sea is extremely complex, and they don't have a truly powerful figure who can protect them." Hearing this secret for the first time, Lü Yan couldn't help but show a thoughtful expression.
"But at some point, the South Sea Dragon Race started to attach themselves to, or rather, planned to attach themselves to, a powerful figure with some connection to them." "That powerful figure is called ' Sagara,' but you can also simply call her ' South Sea Dragon Girl.'"
Upon hearing the Nüshi's words, Lü Yan immediately opened his eyes wide in astonishment.
Because in the Mountain Folk's history textbooks, the South Sea Dragon Girl, Sagara, also has another identity: the holder of the [Mutton-Fat Jade Purifying Vase]. "Claiming to be related to the South Sea Dragon Girl?"
"But didn't the South Sea Dragon Girl always stay by Guanshiyin Bodhisattva's side?"
"Besides, the South Sea Dragon Girl Maiden is naturally pure and innocent, with a mind like a child. It's unlikely she would accept a group of Dragon Race... clinging to her, is it?" Unlike Lü Yan's careful consideration of his words, the Nüshi laughed without any politeness.
"You're right. Given the nature of the South Sea Dragon Girl, she simply doesn't understand what 'climbing the social ladder' means."
"But precisely because of the South Sea Dragon Girl's naiveté, it's actually quite easy to win her over."
"For example, finding her a playmate of 'appropriate age'..."
