Meeting an Immortal

Before Yingping Peak.

Fang Zelin Fang Zelin to the front of the mountain peak and landed, where he saw a person sitting in front of a house.

Upon closer inspection, it was indeed Meng Yunqing.

"Uncle Fang, you're back!"

Upon seeing Fang Zelin, Meng Yunqing was overjoyed and quickly stepped forward, bowing respectfully.

"Is it because Xiao Qin became a True Dragon?"

Fang Zelin looked the other person up and down, and seeing that the other person was also pretending to be very happy, he immediately smiled as well.

Meng Yunqing knew that her Uncle Divine Ability extraordinary abilities, so it was perfectly normal for him to know what was happening in her area even when he wasn't around.

Upon hearing this, he immediately nodded, "Yes, Father sent me to invite Uncle Fang to the True Dragon Banquet in three days."

He had actually been waiting here for two days.

Over the past two days, he has remained patient.

Because they didn't know when Fang Zelin would return, the Dragon Palace kept postponing the True Dragon Banquet.

As for the Dragon Race who were to be invited, they showed no dissatisfaction upon learning of this matter; on the contrary, they patiently waited.

By now, who wouldn't know the name of Immortal Elder Fang?

Of the three True Dragon in the Meng Household, two were able to transform into True Dragon only after receiving guidance from Fang Zelin.

Over the past few hundred years, they have tried every means to meet this immortal master again, hoping to receive his guidance.

Perhaps then I too will be able to attain the form of True Dragon.

Unfortunately, I was too unlucky, and I never saw this immortal again.

Fortunately, my wish has finally come true, and I am able to meet this immortal master.

In such a situation, what does it matter if we have to wait a little longer?

As for the other Aquatic Race creatures, the Meng Dragon Household didn't bother with them much.

Those shrimp soldiers and crab generals were, in the end, nothing more than servants.

"Uncle Fang, this is the invitation."

As Meng Yunqing spoke, he handed over a piece of jade.

The jade stone is about the size of a palm, so thin that the bottom is visible.

Within the jade, small seal script characters are carved, crystal clear.

"Alright, tell your father on your way back that I will arrive on time."

Fang Zelin accepted the jade token and nodded in agreement.

Upon hearing this, Meng Yunqing was overjoyed and was about to turn around and take his leave when Fang Zelin called him back.

"Here, as we agreed with Xiao Qin, we would give her a jar of fine wine once she became True Dragon. Take this back and give it to her."

Fang Zelin spoke, he took out a jar of fine wine from inside the house.

The seal above clearly bore the name Meng Xiao Qin.

The words on the sign are worn and look quite old.

This was something Fang Zelin had already prepared for Meng Xiao Qin back then, after he told her he would give her a jar of good wine.

Looking at the three words on the wine seal, Meng Yunqing understood that this wine was left over from back then, and immediately smiled.

"If my little sister saw this wine, she would be overjoyed."

Having said that, he took the wine, turned around, and disappeared into the Yongding River.

Seeing this, Fang Zelin sat down to the side, scratching his head in a somewhat troubled manner.

He hadn't prepared much for the True Dragon's Feast, so he didn't bring any gifts.

This time, I'll probably have to bring a small gift too.

However, deciding what small gift to bring is a bit of a dilemma.

"Immortal Master, I'm starving! I'm starving!"

Just then, the young apprentice medicine boy jumped out and shouted at Fang Zelin.

Upon hearing this, Fang Zelin turned around and his eyes lit up when he saw the young apprentice beside him.

The medicine boy was still shouting from the side, wanting Fang Zelin to cast a spell on him.

But the next moment, when she saw Fang Zelin looking over, she felt a slight unease in her heart and realized that something was wrong.

"Having followed me in my cultivation for so long, could I have a few drops of your ginseng essence?"

Fang Zelin didn't insist; he simply discussed it with the other party.

The young apprentice was initially a little apprehensive, wondering if something was amiss.

After hearing that this was the meaning, I breathed a sigh of relief.

"It's just a few drops of ginseng extract, nothing serious!"

Having said that, he bit his finger and dripped out three drops of vibrant green ginseng extract.

Fang Zelin put away the ginseng liquid and then nodded in satisfaction.

Having this would make it a suitable gift.

However, since the three days haven't been up yet, let's refine some pills first.

Thinking of this, Fang Zelin used some spiritual rain and then began to refine pills.

Meng Yunqing swam back to the Dragon Palace at lightning speed. When he told the old dragon that the immortal had returned to keep his promise, the old dragon was overjoyed.

The order was immediately given, and the banquet for the True Dragon was scheduled for three days later.

The Dragon Palace was now decorated with lanterns and colorful streamers, as festive as the Lunar New Year in the mortal world.

Some Aquatic Race that swim to this spot can come here to ask for some drinks.

Meanwhile, the Dragon Race in the branches of the main river, or in other waterways, also received the news.

Upon learning that the immortal from back then would also be coming, they immediately began to bring their families and head towards the Dragon Palace.

I had the pleasure of meeting this immortal several hundred years ago.

Back then, I didn't have the fortuitous opportunity, so I didn't receive guidance from that immortal.

Perhaps this time, they still won't have that fortuitous opportunity.

But if I bring more people with me, will my offspring have that fortuitous opportunity?

Bringing more members of your tribe won't hurt!

So, over the next few days, all the Aquatic Race in the rivers and streams around the world rushed toward the Dragon Palace.

Occasionally, ordinary people traveling by boat can see countless schools of fish looking towards a certain spot on the river.

And among that school of fish, each fish was enormous.

You would never see them normally.

This strange sight has attracted many people who find it quite remarkable.

"Don't let anyone disturb me tonight; I need to get some rest."

Zhou Residence Fengying City, Dingzhou.

At this moment, Zhou Yongling summoned several servants and said something.

He is currently the youngest prefect in the Great Qian Dynasty.

The reason I was able to do this was because of an accident when I was young.

That year, he unintentionally saved a small carp by the river.

The carp was quite beautiful when it was first seen.

After that day, he felt that his career was going smoothly, and he eventually rose to the position of prefect.

However, just before he took office as the prefect, he had a dream.

In his dream, a classical woman gracefully approached him and then recounted the story of how he made his fortune.

It turns out that the carp he saved was a Aquatic Race spirit.

To repay the other party for saving her life, she secretly helped him from time to time afterward.

The reason for summoning him into my dream this time was partly to express my gratitude for saving my life back then, and partly because I felt that he wasn't a bad person after all these years.

Therefore, they wanted to recruit him as their son-in-law.

Although she is just a carp, she is a close relative of the Dragon Race and her status among the Aquatic Race is not low.

Therefore, this is a union, and also a way of bringing him into the family as a son-in-law.

After listening, Zhou Yongling agreed without hesitation.

He's gotten this far because he must know just how difficult the officialdom is these days.

If it weren't for the other party's help, he wouldn't have been able to even get a foothold in the officialdom.

The more he interacted with the officials around him, the more apprehensive he became.

Because he could fully sense just how complex the relationships between the people around him were.

If this is the case even in a single prefecture, one can only imagine the situation for those at higher levels.

Moreover, he owes his current success largely to the other party.

There's nothing wrong with marrying into another's family.

You should know that hundreds of years ago, his roots were still on Earth.

For those who marry into another family, there is no sense of humiliation or loss of status.

After he agreed, a few days later, the Aquatic Race chose an auspicious time and the two families became in-laws.

Because Zhou Yongling was a mortal, and fearing that the Yao Qi might harm the other party, a powerful demon from the clan helped him by casting a spell to protect Zhou Yongling.

Therefore, both sides have remained at peace to this day.

The reason why the servants were not to be disturbed today is because the Meng Dragon Race is about to hold a banquet for the True Dragon.

Although he is a son-in-law who lives with his wife's family and is not from the Aquatic Race, it is still a marriage alliance, so it is acceptable to include him.

Zhou Yongling had been listening to his wife talk a lot about the Dragon Race these past few days, and he couldn't help but feel excited at this moment.

In the past, he was just at the bottom of society, so how could he have access to this kind of information?

Furthermore, much of the relevant information in the book has been removed, and it is not intended to be made known to the public.

For many people, their knowledge and insights come from books.

The limitations in knowledge become particularly severe.

It was only after having his wife that he learned so much.

So dragons really do exist in this world!

Within the Great Qian Dynasty, there were three True Dragon.

However, on ordinary days, people never see these three True Dragon at all.

"My lord, you're all ready. Let's set off now. Remember, once we arrive at the Dragon Palace, you mustn't say anything carelessly."

"However, there's no need to worry. This is a banquet for the True Dragon of the Dragon Palace. Although many demons have come, none of them will dare to cause trouble at this time."

The presence of humans among so many fairies seems somewhat inappropriate, but there's nothing to worry about.

After all, this is a banquet for True Dragon; what demon would dare to cause trouble?

"Moreover, there's that person's existence."

Li Youyun smiled as she spoke, reassuring her husband beside her.

Zhou Yongling breathed a sigh of relief upon hearing this.

After all, he had heard quite a few stories before about demons eating people to increase their cultivation.

He was somewhat worried that he might be divided up and eaten after he arrived.

Hearing such reassurances, I felt a little relieved.

However, after hearing his wife's next sentence, he couldn't help but feel a slight stirring in his heart.

"Who? Is that what you're referring to, madam?"

"That one?"

Upon hearing this, Li Youyun tilted his head slightly, then shook it, "When that being existed, I had not yet attained enlightenment, so I don't know much about that being."

"I've only heard the elders in the clan mention that he's an immortal."

"Immortal???"

Upon hearing this, Zhou Yongling's eyes widened immediately.

To be honest, he thought the news he had heard before was already shocking enough.

To his utter surprise, he was about to hear such shocking news from Li Youyun again.

Do immortals really exist in this world?

I had heard some rumors before, but those were just rumors.

For example, the most famous one, which is still somewhat traceable, is the Immortal-Welcoming Tavern outside Anzi County back then.

I've heard that the fine wines in the Immortal-Welcoming Tavern were obtained from immortals.

The problem is that the Immortal-Welcoming Tavern no longer exists; although it's the most recent one, it was hundreds of years ago.

Many people speculate that the wine in the Immortal-Welcoming Tavern might have been used by some people to recreate the winemaking methods on Earth.

This is a very recent rumor, but it's still just a rumor.

Whether it's true or not is impossible to verify now.

Moreover, no one actually tasted the wine, so who can be sure what it tasted like?

Now, hearing what his wife said...

Zhou Yongling felt his heart surge with emotion.

"Of course there is. That one is a true immortal. I heard from the elders in the clan that he was present when the last True Dragon Banquet was held."

"Moreover, that immortal master personally guided the current Dragon King in public, causing him to transform into True Dragon on the spot. However, he was still young and lacked sufficient cultivation at the time, so he did not attain the True Dragon form."

Zhou Yongling's eyes widened upon hearing this; he was no longer completely ignorant.

I had already heard about the True Dragon from my wife.

He had just been dreaming that his wife could transform into a dragon.

However, he also knew how difficult it would be for his wife to transform into a dragon, let alone obtain the body of True Dragon.

The difficulty involved is something outsiders simply cannot comprehend.

However, there's only one thing to know: his wife's clan of demons has existed for three thousand years, and not a single member has yet transformed into a dragon.

The Dragon Race, having attained the True Dragon, would only have had one old dragon king in over ten thousand years if not for the guidance of that immortal.

"My lady, when was the last True Dragon Banquet?"

Thinking of the immortal his wife had mentioned, Zhou Yongling couldn't help but ask another question.

He wanted to know how old that immortal was.

While it's impossible to be completely certain of the other person's age, it's possible to estimate it from the last time.

"It's been over eight hundred years, hasn't it?"

After carefully considering his words, Li Youyun spoke.

More than eight hundred years.

Some people have lived for over 800 years

No, maybe it has lived for thousands or even tens of thousands of years.

That person is truly a living immortal!

Zhou Yongling was filled with emotion at this moment.

Today, he was finally able to meet the immortal. Thinking of this, he couldn't help but glance at his wife.

"My lady, if you could receive even a little guidance from that immortal, perhaps you too could transform into True Dragon."

Those who receive guidance from the Dragon Race can attain the form of True Dragon. If his wife had such fortuitous opportunity, wouldn't transforming into a dragon be a matter of minutes?
