Wasn't I in the Dragon Clan? How Did I Get Here?

Meanwhile.

Not long after Lin Tian saw Zhao Gongming off.

He tossed the Sea-Calming Divine Pearls into the pond nearby.

In Lin Tian's eyes, these palm-sized pearls.

Probably weren't anything rare.

After all, fellow Daoist Gongming's family wasn't well-off.

He probably didn't have any treasures either.

So Lin Tian didn't pay them much mind.

Rather than keep them, he might as well put them in the pond in his courtyard as decorations.

At least that would put them to good use.

They could at least make the pond look a little more high-class.

Not long after Lin Tian tossed the blue orbs in.

The soft sunlight fell on the pond.

And refracted onto the blue orbs.

The orbs gave off waves of dazzling light.

Casting a wondrous glow over the entire pond.

From a distance, it shimmered blue like the ocean.

At the sight, Lin Tian couldn't help letting out a sigh of admiration.

"These gemlike stones really are nice to look at."

"With these little orbs, Little Gold probably won't be lonely anymore."

Muttering to himself.

Lin Tian's gaze fell on the little goldfish swimming happily around the pond.

Speaking of this little goldfish, it and Lin Tian could be said to have some affinity.

At the time, Lin Tian had gone out to chop firewood and was drinking by the river.

Somehow, the little fish had suddenly jumped into the basket on his back.

Lin Tian had originally intended to release it, but as soon as he put it back, the little goldfish jumped out again.

It seemed unwilling to return and wanted to follow him.

Lin Tian had no choice but to bring it back.

And keep it in the pond.

The pond was about three zhang long and wide, and Little Gold was the only fish in it.

At the thought, Lin Tian couldn't help sighing, a trace of regret passing through his words.

"It's a pity. If goldfish weren't inedible."

"I would have stewed you long ago and made fish soup to nourish myself."

Muttering this.

Lin Tian said no more and turned to leave.

Not long after Lin Tian left.

The little goldfish swimming in the pond.

A sharp glint flashed through its strange fish eyes!

At that moment, what Lin Tian didn't know was.

After he returned to the wooden house.

In the pond.

That blue Sea-Calming Divine Pearl.

Suddenly released a faint glow of Qi.

Its presence was somewhat gentle.

And it gave off a soft blue glow.

From a distance, it looked utterly wondrous and unfathomably mysterious.

When the pearl reached the very bottom of the pond.

Something on it seemed to react inexplicably.

As it floated slightly.

It actually released a wave of blue light.

The blue wave swept up the water in the pond.

Forming a whirlwind visible to the naked eye.

Finally, it burst through the surface.

At the same time.

The Spiritual Qi drifting through the courtyard.

As though answering some call.

Slowly gathered toward the pond.

An instant later.

It all rushed into the pond at once.

Gurgle, gurgle!

The dense, pure Spiritual Qi rushed into the water.

Making a gurgling sound.

But the Spiritual Qi didn't stop.

It made its way to the Sea-Calming Divine Pearl as if it knew the way.

And wrapped around the blue pearl.

In an instant.

A startling force erupted from the Sea-Calming Divine Pearl.

It directly absorbed the Spiritual Qi.

Nourished by the Spiritual Qi.

The Sea-Calming Divine Pearl shone even brighter than before.

The presence it gave off was also considerably stronger.

However.

In this pond, those powers weren't released.

Just then.

The little goldfish, golden yellow in appearance.

Swam back and forth in the water.

To everyone's surprise.

The little goldfish actually ignored the surging Spiritual Qi around it.

Without being affected in the slightest.

After the little goldfish had swum around for a while.

It seemed to notice the six Sea-Calming Divine Pearls deep below, giving off a startling glow.

A strange glint flashed through its lively fish eyes.

The next moment.

The little goldfish swam toward the Sea-Calming Divine Pearls.

It reached the pearls with ease.

And sniffed gently beside them.

As though it thought this glowing blue thing was delicious.

It opened its mouth toward a Sea-Calming Divine Pearl.

And swallowed it whole in one gulp.

The little goldfish itself wasn't all that small.

After swallowing a Sea-Calming Divine Pearl.

Its golden belly was stretched round.

That gulp was no small matter.

A vast amount of Spiritual Qi, along with the Sea-Calming Divine Pearl, poured straight into the little goldfish's body.

One had to know.

The Sea-Calming Divine Pearl itself was a supreme-grade Innate Spiritual Treasure containing Five-Colored Radiance.

The power it held was like the might of the four seas!

Swallowed by a little goldfish like this.

The consequences were naturally too dreadful to imagine!

Sure enough.

At this moment, the little goldfish's entire body was lit up by dazzling blue light, becoming crystal clear.

It looked just like a glowing fish.

The little goldfish's body was also trembling violently.

Even the bubbles it breathed out through its nose contained blue Spiritual Qi!

Because of the sudden influx of Spiritual Qi from the Sea-Calming Divine Pearl.

The little goldfish felt uncomfortable all over and darted rapidly back and forth through the water!

It seemed to be trying to shake off the power in its heart.

But.

No matter what it did.

It didn't seem to get its wish.

Not only that.

The startling Spiritual Qi inside it grew denser and denser.

Clearly.

The power of the Sea-Calming Divine Pearl.

Wasn't so easy to absorb!

As time passed.

The little goldfish finally couldn't endure the Spiritual Qi of the Sea-Calming Divine Pearl any longer.

Then came!

Boom!

A tremendous sound rang out!

A startling disturbance came from the pond.

As though something had exploded.

Blasting all the water out of the pond!

Splat!

The little goldfish burst out of the pond and fell to the ground.

The glow inside its body faded.

And it gradually returned to normal.

But.

The little goldfish was now somewhat different from before.

Originally, it had only a few golden scales above its eyes.

But now.

A tiny dragon horn had grown on its forehead!

As the little goldfish lay exposed to the air.

An expression that only a living being possessed slowly appeared in its fish eyes.

Wasn't I in the Dragon Clan?

...Where... is this?

A thought suddenly rang out in the little goldfish's mind.
