The Dragon Lord

After a night of heavy snowfall...

When Fang Zelin pushed open the door and came out, Yingping Peak was already covered with a thick layer of snow.

The entire Yingping Peak was completely covered by heavy snow, just like a snow-capped mountain.

However, the stream beside it was still flowing gently towards the Yongding River.

The stream eroded a ditch in the snow.

Meng Yunqing, who was standing to the side, still had her eyes closed and appeared not to have woken up yet.

This struck Fang Zelin as somewhat odd.

Does it really take that long to figure this out?

"Immortal Master!"

Upon seeing Fang Zelin emerge, the medicine boy scurried out, crawling out of the snow and creating a hole in the ground.

Are the other medicinal plants alright?

Seeing the other person crawl out, Fang Zelin couldn't help but show concern for the ginseng, he shou wu, and other medicinal herbs he had planted.

"Immortal Master! Why don't you care about me at all, especially in this heavy snow?"

"You, a ginseng that has become a spirit, are you afraid of a little snow?"

Fang Zelin glanced at the medicine boy after hearing this, and said dismissively.

The young apprentice, feeling helpless, could only begin clearing the snow.

"By the way, don't bother Meng Yunqing, lest you disturb him."

Fang Zelin offered a reminder, and then swept the snow away from the surrounding area.

After cleaning was completed, Fang Zelin used the Lesser Cloud and Rain Technique.

Then the setup began.

The Lunar New Year is just around the corner, and I've already bought lanterns and other decorations.

Fang Zelin hung the lanterns up one by one.

Then Fang Zelin composed a couplet.

Everything that should be there for the New Year has been added.

Once the work was finished, the surroundings suddenly looked like what one would expect for the New Year.

From afar, Yingping Peak's place was also decorated with lanterns and colorful streamers, looking very festive.

Bearing the Heavens flew around nearby, seemingly very curious about everything.

As the sun set, Fang Zelin took the firecrackers a little further away and then lit them.

As soon as the firecrackers started, the sounds of firecrackers and fireworks also began to echo from Anzi County in the distance.

Seeing this scene, Fang Zelin couldn't help but feel a pang of emotion.

"This is how we celebrated the passing of the year amidst the sound of firecrackers."

Standing still, I looked towards Anzi County in the distance.

Countless fireworks rose into the sky above Anzi County, seemingly accompanied by a hazy mist.

After standing still for a moment, Fang Zelin turned around and went back into the wooden house.

Today is Lunar New Year's Eve, and Fang Zelin has prepared a table full of delicious dishes.

After finishing, they immediately invited the tiger demon and the deer demon to sit down as well.

The two demons weren't much drinkers, but Fang Zelin still took out Clear as Empty and offered them a drink.

Fang Zelin was the only person at the New Year's Eve dinner, but he still enjoyed the meal.

Fang Zelin was enjoying his meal, while Meng Yunqing remained completely silent.

"Why hasn't this person made a sound yet? It's almost the Lantern Festival!"

The deer demon glanced at Meng Yunqing, who was standing to the side, with a puzzled look.

This guy has been standing there for two or three months now.

It's as if it's completely lifeless.

Fang Zelin was still holding a book, looking quite engrossed in it.

He hadn't intended to pay any attention to those words, but suddenly Fang Zelin's eyes flickered slightly, and he looked at Meng Yunqing with a hint of surprise.

The moment Fang Zelin's eyes fell on Meng Yunqing, Meng Yunqing suddenly opened her eyes and let out a powerful dragon roar.

Immediately afterwards, Meng Yunqing transformed into a dragon and soared into the sky.

In an instant, the sky was filled with wind and clouds.

Upon seeing this, Fang Zelin raised an eyebrow slightly, then stood with his hands behind his back, looking up at the sky.

"Immortal Master, what's wrong?"

The medicine boy emerged from the ground and ran over first.

"The two young masters of the Jing River wish to request a title from Heaven in order to obtain the body of True Dragon."

Fang Zelin replied to this, then quietly looked up at the sky.

In just a few moments, dark clouds filled the sky.

The dense lightning bolts seemed to be weaving cloth, constantly intertwining in the air.

When the thunderclouds roared, the sky seemed to collapse.

Sensing the thunder and lightning, countless Aquatic Race seemed to understand and began to emerge.

At this moment, they all looked up at the sky.

Some fishermen were puzzled when they saw countless fish heads emerging from the surface of the river.

Is it going to rain?

With years of fishing experience, they knew that when fish surfaced, it meant rain was coming.

"It seems a dragon is about to undergo a tribulation?"

"Judging from that sound, and that dragon's roar, there's no mistake!"

Countless fish surfaced, staring blankly at the sky. While ordinary people couldn't see the specifics, they could see it clearly.

Many powerful demons in the water had transformed into ordinary fish and were hiding in the water, watching secretly.

On the Jing River, a middle-aged man suddenly seemed to sense something and abruptly looked up into the distance.

His face immediately paled in surprise, and he quickly conjured a cloud and flew towards the Yongding River.

After a short while, a powerful dragon could be seen churning and tumbling in the dark clouds.

Seeing the surrounding lightning and its controlled resistance, the middle-aged man secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

But he still dared not relax, for obtaining a divine mandate was not so simple.

A moment later, a burst of heavenly fire fell upon Meng Yunqing.

In just a moment, Meng Yunqing was burned and covered in wounds.

Even though Meng Yunqing had anticipated this, he couldn't help but let out a wail.

Upon seeing this, the Dragon King of the Jing River's expression hardened.

Meng Yunqing let out a dragon's roar and spat out a large stream of spring water, enveloping himself in it. Although he couldn't extinguish the heavenly fires directly, he felt much better.

Immediately afterwards, Meng Yunqing, full of fighting spirit, continued to soar through the air.

After a short while, the Dragon King of the Jing River saw Meng Yunqing swimming downstream, gathering the waters of a hundred rivers to cover his body, and seeing the trace of True Dragon aura emanating from him. He immediately understood that his child had survived this calamity.

Thinking of this, the Dragon King breathed a heavy sigh of relief, and a smile involuntarily appeared on his face.

With a quick glance, he spotted a man standing with his hands behind his back, gazing at the sky below Yingping Peak, and immediately flew away on a cloud.

When they arrived, the Dragon King had already landed on the ground.

"The Dragon King of the Jing River greets the Immortal Master."

"My son was able to overcome this calamity and obtain the body of True Dragon, all thanks to the guidance of the immortal."

The Dragon King of the Jing River was well aware of his child's abilities.

Now, suddenly, he can transcend tribulation and attain the body of True Dragon; it's easy to guess how that happened.

Fang Zelin had noticed the other party's arrival earlier.

This was, in fact, the second time he had seen the other person.

The first time they met was at the Great Marsh Dragon King.

"You're too kind. I only said a few words."

Upon seeing the Dragon King before him Fang Zelin immediately returned the bow.

He learned his own "Lesser Cloud and Rain Technique" by observing how others manipulated clouds and rain.

"No amount of words of thanks can fully express my gratitude. In a few days, the Dragon Palace will hold a True Dragon Banquet for Yunqing. I hope you will attend, Immortal Master, so that I can express my thanks through my actions."

The Dragon King spoke with utmost solemnity.

Having helped my child through this ordeal, I should thank the other party properly, no matter what.

Fang Zelin pondered for a moment upon hearing this, realizing that he had indeed never been to the Dragon Palace.

Why don't we go take a look?

Fang Zelin was also quite curious about this legendary Dragon Palace.

"Very well, then I, Fang, will eagerly await this True Dragon Feast."

It's understandable that someone's child, who has finally obtained the body of True Dragon, would hold a True Dragon banquet.
