Burning Incense and Listening to the Dao

Meng Yunqing stood in front of the Dragon Gate, gazing intently into the distance, feeling rather anxious.

Logically speaking, Uncle Fang should have arrived by now.

Why haven't they arrived yet?

Meng Yunqing was somewhat anxious, but she managed to calm herself down.

Just as he glanced anxiously into the distance, he saw a figure drifting towards him.

The person was dressed in blue clothes, with his hair tied up with a ribbon. The two loose ribbons swayed with the current, but they were not wet at all.

Upon seeing this, Meng Yunqing was overjoyed.

He knew that the person who had come was Uncle Fang!

Uncle Fang!

Meng Yunqing did not hesitate and immediately went to meet him.

Fang Zelin looked at Meng Yunqing in front of him and nodded with a smile. Looking around, he saw that the Dragon Palace was surrounded by a densely packed group of Aquatic Race, creating a magnificent sight.

Judging by its appearance, it seems to be even larger than the last True Dragon Feast.

"Hmm, your True Dragon Feast this year is quite grand."

Fang Zelin spoke, he subtly withdrew his gaze.

"The main reason is that we heard Uncle Fang was coming, so a lot of Aquatic Race came this time, all of them here for Uncle Fang."

"Right now, the Aquatic Race are spreading the word everywhere, all wanting to catch a glimpse of the immortals."

Upon hearing Fang Zelin's words, Meng Yunqing immediately smiled and replied.

The reason why the Dragon Palace was so lively this time was largely due to Fang Zelin.

The fairies who came were mostly there because of this legendary immortal.

After all, the story of Xiao Qin receiving enlightenment back then was widely circulated.

Fang Zelin raised an eyebrow upon hearing this. Was this coming for him?

Before Fang Zelin could think further, the two of them passed through the Dragon Gate under Meng Yunqing's guidance.

The fairies all around turned to look at them.

Although he had never seen that immortal, he was still impressed by Meng Yunqing's attentive manner, even going so far as to greet him directly.

This must be the legendary immortal!

You should know that even when other old dragons from the Dragon Race came, they didn't greet them with such enthusiasm.

At this moment, everyone stared intently at Fang Zelin.

Fang Zelin remained completely oblivious to the numerous gazes directed at him.

After walking along the Great Dao in front of the main hall, we soon arrived at the main hall gate.

Only after Fang Zelin and Meng Yunqing disappeared from everyone's sight did the demons breathe a sigh of relief.

The next moment, a murmur of discussion arose.

"Was that the immortal just now?"

"That's for sure. Didn't you see the prince go straight inside after receiving the other person? The only one who could be treated like that by the immortal!"

"Judging from the otherworldly and dignified appearance of that immortal just now, he must be an immortal!"

At this moment, all the demons began to speak, their voices mingling and creating a lively atmosphere.

Zhou Yongling also witnessed what happened just now.

Thinking about the immortal I had just seen, I couldn't help but feel a little shocked.

That immortal looked remarkably young.

So young, is this person truly an immortal? Do they possess some kind of age-preserving magic?

"What are you daydreaming about, my husband?"

Seeing that her husband was silent, Li Youyun was a little surprised.

Just now, her husband was chatting happily with the other fairies, so why has he suddenly become so quiet and withdrawn?

At this moment, Li Youyun seemed quite excited.

After all, she had just seen that immortal!

"It's nothing, I just think this immortal looks so young. I thought the immortal who came would be an old Daoist priest with a white beard and white eyebrows."

After regaining his senses, Zhou Yongling said something.

Hearing this, Li Youyun smiled and then shook his head, saying, "The more immortal this person is, the more extraordinary they must be. Perhaps this immortal has achieved great success in cultivation and possesses exceptional intelligence, which is why they appear in such a state."

It's important to know that this opponent has a history of taking action, so they shouldn't be underestimated.

After listening to his wife's words, Zhou Yongling thought for a moment and then nodded.

That does seem to be true.

"What a pity, that immortal just walked away like that, so there was no way to have a conversation with him."

At this point, Zhou Yongling sighed and shook his head.

"That's why it's said that getting guidance from an immortal is so difficult. My husband, do you really think that just by meeting that immortal once, you can receive his guidance?"

Li Youyun had already guessed this outcome, so he wasn't too disappointed.

"Although I had some guesses, I was still somewhat disappointed."

As Zhou Yongling spoke, he couldn't help but turn his gaze towards the Dragon Palace.

Unfortunately, there's no way to see inside the Dragon Palace right now.

Meanwhile, Fang Zelin had already entered the Dragon Palace.

Upon noticing Fang Zelin's arrival, Old Long immediately stood up with a smile to greet him.

"Old friend Fang, you've finally arrived! We've been waiting for you!"

Old Long looked at Fang Zelin, who still looked exactly the same, and couldn't help but smile.

Upon hearing this, Fang Zelin glanced around. There were plenty of seats in the Dragon Palace, but they were all occupied at the moment.

Many fairies saw Fang Zelin at that moment and wanted to get up and greet him.

However, since he was not familiar with the immortal, he feared that standing up abruptly would be an eyesore, so he could only force himself to sit down.

Uncle Fang!

Meng Xiao Qin walked over quickly and gave Fang Zelin a sweet smile, her face full of joy.

"Not bad, they've already attained the form of True Dragon."

Fang Zelin looked at Meng Xiao Qin in front of him and couldn't help but nod, his eyes filled with admiration.

"Thanks to Uncle Fang's previous guidance, otherwise Xiao Qin wouldn't have her current True Dragon form."

Meng Xiao Qin knew perfectly well how her cultivation had increased.

"Alright, Mr. Fang, please take a seat. It's not appropriate to talk standing here."

As he spoke, he led Fang Zelin to a seat.

The seats are the same as last time; nothing has changed.

After Fang Zelin sat down, the old dragon began to thank everyone for coming, and then announced the start of the True Dragon Feast.

Only then did everyone start to move.

Outside the Dragon Palace, most of the fairies were enjoying their meal immensely.

However, the demons in the Dragon Palace found the food rather tasteless despite the abundance of delicacies on the table.

It wasn't that the food in the Dragon Palace was bad; it was just that with immortals around, they were only thinking about being able to ask one of them a question privately.

If I could receive some guidance from an immortal, then I would have hope of cultivating the Tao in the future.

However, they didn't know how to approach him for advice.

Approaching rashly, one fears offending the immortal.

In contrast, Lao Long seemed exceptionally happy.

After all, those on either side were his offspring, and they had all transformed into True Dragon. How could he not be happy?

"Where has my old friend been all these years? Xiao Qin has visited him many times, but has never seen him. I heard he has gone traveling around?"

After accepting the drinks from everyone, Lao Long returned to Fang Zelin.

Seeing Fang Zelin drinking alone, he went up to Fang Zelin and started drinking with him.

But as soon as the old dragon got close, Fang Zelin twitched his nose slightly and sensed that something was wrong.

"Old Long, did you take the fine wine I gave to Xiao Qin?"

Smelling the aroma, Fang Zelin knew perfectly well what kind of wine Old Long was drinking.

Old Long chuckled upon hearing this, "The wine from my old friend's place smelled so good that I couldn't resist seeing Xiao Qin drinking it, so I ordered some."

After saying that, Old Long shook his head, as if savoring the rich aroma of the wine.

Fang Zelin found it somewhat amusing, but didn't say much. "I was traveling around before, and then unintentionally comprehended some Daoist techniques. I only recently returned."

"I see."

Upon hearing this, Old Dragon suddenly understood.

Judging from this, it seems that my old friend's Divine Ability abilities are becoming increasingly unfathomable.

Having spent so much time comprehending the Dao, I still don't know what kind of Dao it is.

As he spoke, he raised his glass again to toast Fang Zelin.

"Uncle Fang, let me also raise a toast to you!"

Meng Xiao Qin also walked over with a wine glass in her hand, her face flushed slightly.

"Then I, Uncle Fang, won't stand on ceremony."

When Xiao Qin offered him a toast, Fang Zelin drank it all in one gulp. Then he took out a small jade bottle from his sleeve and handed it to Xiao Qin.

"As your uncle, I can't leave your True Dragon Feast unrewarded. Here's a little ginseng broth; please accept it."

Ginseng liquid?

Upon hearing this title, the demons standing nearby were all taken aback.

Normally, a single ginseng extract is not a rare find.

In terms of such things, the Dragon Palace has many treasures, and obtaining ginseng is quite easy.

The problem is, since this thing was given by an immortal, it must be something extraordinary.

This ginseng liquid must be extraordinary.

Meng Xiao Qin initially wanted to refuse, but then she thought that the person in front of her was her Uncle Fang, so accepting the gift wouldn't be a problem.

Thinking of this, Meng Xiao Qin immediately reached out and took it, then gave Fang Zelin a sweet smile.

After Meng Xiao Qin sweetly thanked him, before Fang Zelin could say anything, the next moment they saw several Dragon Race in the distance get up and walk towards them.

Upon arriving, he bowed deeply to Fang Zelin.

"It is rather impolite of us to come here so abruptly, Immortal Master, but this concerns our future Dao Path. We humbly request that you offer us some guidance."

The Dragon Race looked extremely sincere as they spoke.

"Hundreds of years ago, our minds were not virtuous enough, and we missed the path to immortality, which was our just deserts. However, our descendants have cultivated to this day and have not done anything that harms heaven or reason, and have also managed floods in various rivers."

Even if the immortal is unwilling to guide us, we hope he can at least offer some guidance on our offspring.

After saying that, they all knelt down in front of Fang Zelin.

Fang Zelin recognized each of the Dragon Kings in front of him at a glance.

There were familiar faces such as the Great Marsh Dragon King and the Lady Jade River.

To be honest, fairies really do have incredibly long lifespans.

Many of Fang Zelin's fellow Daoists passed away due to their lifespans.

And these fairies are still alive and well today.

Fang Zelin's thoughts drifted away for a moment before he quickly returned to the scene, where he saw all the Aquatic Race kneeling down.

Seeing that Fang Zelin was being coerced, the old dragon nearby quickly cast a spell to get these guys up and make them move away.

It would be a bad thing if these guys really pressured Fang Laoyou like this and made him disgusted with them.

"Rise, all of you. I cannot accept such a grand gesture."

Fang Zelin gently raised his hand to help them up, though his palm didn't touch them.

The demons tried to kneel down, but found they couldn't.

Seeing this, he knew that the immortal before him had already surpassed him in cultivation.

Fang Zelin sat in his seat and pondered for a moment, then looked at the dragon king's offspring behind him.

After a quick calculation, it became clear that what they said was not a lie.

Over the years, these dragon kings have made great contributions in protecting the river channels and quelling floods.

Over the centuries, countless floods have been dredged.

In addition, he strictly supervised his offspring and did not commit any heinous acts.

In terms of merit, these Dragon Race have indeed done enough.

Thinking of this, Fang Zelin immediately nodded and said, "Considering what you have all accomplished over the years, I will tell you a story of Free and Easy Wandering."

Whether you can gain any understanding or not depends entirely on yourselves.

Regardless, these Dragon Race have indeed done a lot of good deeds over the years.

Last time, I felt that these Dragon Race lacked character, but now, they are barely good enough.

Therefore, I will tell a story of Free and Easy Wandering.

Whether they can comprehend even a fraction of the Daoist principles within depends entirely on their own destiny.

"Thank you, Immortal Master!"

I had initially thought that my request would likely result in a rejection.

If you don't do it, you're bound to fail.

That's why they made that decision so hastily.

To their surprise, the immortal in front of them actually agreed and promised!

This scene truly delighted them.

"No need to be so polite. If there are no other problems, please go back and have a seat."

Fang Zelin waved his hand, signaling them to go back and sit down.

"Uncle Fang, does this mean we should drive away the Aquatic Race outside the Dragon Palace?"

Seeing this, Meng Yunqing couldn't help but step forward and ask softly.

"Since they're here, it must be fate that brings them here. Let them stay, however..."

Fang Zelin spoke, he took out a stick of incense and then handed it to Meng Yunqing while casting a spell.

"I have imbued this incense with a little Law Technique, so that only those who burn it can hear what I am saying. How much they can hear depends on the good deeds they have done or the depth of their good fortune."

Upon hearing this, Meng Yunqing immediately nodded emphatically and summoned a maid to distribute the incense to the demons outside the Dragon Palace.

Even the Dragon Race in the Dragon Palace were each assigned a branch.
