Lil 'White excitedly jumped back and forth between the branches of the green wood. When the Jade Cauldron had regained its original appearance, Whitey's body had become much more robust in the blink of an eye, and the decorative patterns on its body had become much more solid. The originally sparse grayish-black pattern had now turned completely black, and a few new black lines had appeared. White hair and black stripes, black and white, an indescribable rhythm, emitted from Little White's body.
Standing on the green tree, he slapped the lake from afar. The lake suddenly sank, and a paw print that was dozens of meters tall appeared on the surface of the water, followed by a huge wave that rose up into the air from the surface of the water. The wave spread out in all directions like a hurricane, bringing up countless fish, turtle, shrimp, and crabs.
When Whitey saw the scene it created, it could not help but become even more excited. A very human-like smile appeared on its lips. It looked especially adorable with its chubby face and round body.
As for the struggling dragon in the waves, it seemed to feel that it was caused by the guy on the island. It paddled with its four limbs while facing the direction of the island, opening its mouth wide and roaring soundlessly.
When Lil 'White saw the appearance of the dragon, his originally happy little face creased into a frown as he once again sent a slap over. The alligator was sent flying, flying through the air in a long parabola, landing not too far away from the Heavenly Mirage Grass. It landed on the ground, breathing in and out less.
A threatening growl came from the side of the Heavenly Mirage Grass. Obviously, the Violet Tattooed Panther was very dissatisfied with the sudden appearance of the Alligator. When the Violet Tattooed Panther noticed that the dragon was already on the verge of death, and its mind was once again muddled by the heavenly miasma, it flashed forward and firmly bit at the dragon's throat.
Although the Purple Tattooed Panther's intelligence was not high, it knew that the entire island was Whitey's territory. If it wanted to hunt, it could only go to the north side of the island through a bridge to hunt in the forest. It had also seen the scene just now and knew that the alligator that had delivered itself to its doorstep was none other than the Island Owner, Little White. Therefore, regardless of whether it was for his shriveled stomach or to vent his anger on Island Owner Xiao Bai, he had to kill this dragon.
At the same time, the jade cauldron in Lu Que's room, which had been still for a long time, was slowly changing from the size of a thumb to the size of a fist at a speed visible to the naked eye.
The jade cauldron slowly floated above Lu Que's head. The beast button on the lid of the jade cauldron slowly rotated for half a circle. Opening the lid, a cloud of green qi flowed down from within the jade cauldron like a torrent.
In his dreams, Lu Que felt a cooling energy seeping from his heart to his limbs and bones. His entire body felt incomparably comfortable. He could not help but smack his lips in satisfaction and turn his body over.
After about an hour, the green aura within the jade cauldron had completely merged into Lu Que's body. With a gentle shake, the jade cauldron closed and floated to a stop not far from Lu Que's bed. Lu Que, who was still sleeping soundly, felt that his body was a little hot. Subconsciously, he kicked the blanket that was covering him to the side.
"Lu Que?" A voice that sounded like a child's voice that he had never heard before sounded in Lu Que's heart.
"Lu Que, wake up."
"Lu Que, wake up."
"Lu Que ~ Lu Que ~ ~ Lu Que ~"
Lu Que called out again and again with anxiety in his voice. In his dreams, Lu Que was annoyed by the sound and felt his body getting hotter. In this short period of time, he was already sweating profusely and slowly woke up.
Lu Que slowly opened his eyes and saw a fist-sized jade cauldron floating not too far away from his bed. He was startled and quickly sat up, waking up from his stupor.
Before he could figure out what was going on, the voice that he thought was a dream sounded in his mind.
"Lu Que, Lu Que ~"
"Who?" Who's talking? " Even though Lu Que was calm and collected, he was still a fourteen year old boy. Suddenly, he heard a strange voice coming from the Silent Night Room. He felt uneasy in his heart.
"Lu Que, it's me, Little White."
"Xiaobai?" You said you're a noob? You never return to the mountain? Where are you? Why can't I see you? " Hearing a voice calling him Little White, Lu Que was overjoyed. He had seen the Nine-colored Deer speak before, so he didn't think too much about it as he knew how to speak to Little White. He looked around and found that other than the jade cauldron, there was no sign of Little White. Little White, are you inside this jade cauldron? "
"Lu Que, don't ask so much for now. Hurry up and circulate your energy. Take a look at your current body." Little White's voice was filled with anxiety.
"Ugh." Hearing Whitey's words, Lu Que realized that there was a constant stream of heat rising from his pores and his entire body felt like it was being roasted by fire.
Lu Que couldn't figure out what was going on and what was going on. He quickly sat cross-legged, calmed his breathing, and formed a seal with his hands.
Lu Que felt like his body was like a oven as three streams of heat flowed within his body, crawling around like ants. The heat continuously flowed from his meridians and blood cavities into the third layer, then from the upper, middle and lower layer, repeating again and again. However, with each cycle, Lu Que could feel the shackles in his body being opened a little bit, and the bottleneck that had been holding on for a long time was also weakened.
Just when Lu Que felt that he was running out of energy, the jade cauldron shook once again and climbed onto his head. The lid of the jade cauldron was completely opened and the green energy within the cauldron washed over his body like a waterfall.
With the help of the green gas, Lu Que's hands trembled like lotus flowers as ancient and mysterious Dao Seals continuously formed and changed in Lu Que's hands. As the seals changed, Lu Que absorbed the cyan qi at an ever-increasing rate.
At this moment, Lu Que's breathing was getting slower and slower. The warm flow of air, which originally only had three strands, was instantly split into hundreds of strands after the blue qi entered his body. In the blink of an eye, it had turned into thousands of strands which were moving along a mysterious trajectory in his body.
When Lu Que's breathing had completely stopped, all the warm currents once again merged into three streams. They moved slowly along the blood vessels and meridians, inch by inch. The pores on his body opened up and with every inch the warm currents in his body were absorbed by the cyan qi in his body. As the jade cauldron rotated, an unknown scripture was imprinted into Lu Que's mind.
Lu Que, who was in a meditative state, did not know this. At this moment, there was a huge vortex of spiritual energy that was like a funnel spinning above the Duke of Wei's mansion. The surrounding spiritual energy was being sucked into the vortex like a river returning to the sea.
At the same time, on the wall of Lu Que's yard, Lu Chun and Yu Chuqing, awakened by the change in spiritual energy, were standing side by side, looking worriedly at their son who was sitting cross-legged on the bed through the window. However, due to the cover of the bed, they did not see the jade cauldron that was currently suspended upside down above Lu Que's head.
"Husband, Little Qiao, what, what kind of cultivation technique is he cultivating?" Yu Chuqing stuttered. She was indeed shocked. Such a huge amount of spiritual energy was not inferior to her at the 'One with the Earth' realm.
Thirty-six Foundation Establishment, first stage, first stage, first stage, second stage … it seems that my son is about to break through." Lu Chun was also a little worried. He knew that his son's cultivation technique came from a fragment of the island and was much more exquisite and profound than the Foundation Establishment Techniques he had seen before. However, he had never expected that his son would have such power.
"But, husband, if we're unable to handle such an influx of spiritual energy, what should we do?" While the two of them were talking, the vortex of spiritual energy in the air grew even larger.
"The path of cultivation is to go against the heavens. Now that we can't help much, we can only rely on ourselves. " Lu Chun also sighed at the sky.
As the vortex of spiritual energy in the sky above the Residence of the Duke of Wei grew larger, countless experts in the capital woke up from their dreams and walked out of their rooms. As the vortex of spiritual energy in the sky above the Capital of the Duke of Wei's Residence grew larger, numerous experts in the room woke up from their dreams and walked out of their rooms. Everyone thought that the one who had created such a commotion must be the God of War who had just returned.
Lu Que, who was immersed in a meditative state, had no idea what was happening in the outside world. At this moment, he felt as if a blazing sun had risen within his body. It was emitting endless rays of light, illuminating his organs, bones, muscles, meridians, blood cavities, and even his Soul Depth. Even the secret cavities and hidden acupoints in his body appeared in his mind.
The longer the light shone, the hotter Lu Que's body became, but not a drop of sweat came out. The uncomfortable and stifling feeling made him feel like he was going to die in the next moment, but he could feel that as long as he could persevere, he would be able to enter a completely different world. Lu Que's hands formed seals faster and faster. The warm current that was moving inch by inch within his body was now like the mouth of a mountain, flowing unceasingly.
Two hours had passed, four hours had passed, six hours had passed, the night watchman had just knocked on the fifth fragment of the night sky, the sky was already starting to turn white. Just as the sun rose out of the mountains and the purple clouds from the east flashed past, Lu Que's body suddenly shook as his ears rumbled.
Lu Que opened his eyes and let out a long sigh of relief. His face was full of joy. He had finally succeeded! The thirty-six Foundation Establishment stages that had been holding him back for almost a year had finally been achieved! Because of the Green Wood Sect's laws, he had yet to enter the stage of condensing his Blood Meridian. However, he had already reached the peak of the Foundation Establishment stage. By the time he turned fifteen, he would be able to enter the Refinement Realm.
Just as Lu Que was rejoicing, the jade cauldron hanging upside down over his head slowly shrunk and landed in his palm. Carefully looking at the thumb-sized jade cauldron in his hands, Lu Que realized that this jade cauldron actually had two ears and three feet. Thinking of the jade piece taken out from the Heaven-Revolving Lock yesterday, Lu Que instantly understood something.
"Little White, Little White, are you still there?" Lu Que called out to the Jade Cauldron in his heart. Although it was always in a meditative state, he could clearly sense a familiar aura. After being together with Little White for seven years, Lu Que was certain that that was the aura of a spirit beast. However, at Lu Que's call, the Jade Cauldron fell into silence. At this moment, two figures appeared in the room.
"Ji-er, how are you?"
"Ji-er, are you alright?"
Seeing the spiritual Qi in the sky dissipating, Lu Chun and Yu Chu Qing, who had been anxiously waiting outside all night, hurriedly entered Lu Que's room. They were so anxious that they didn't even go to the door and jumped in through the open window.
"Father, mother, what are you doing?" Seeing his parents enter through the window, Lu Que was at a loss. He was in a meditative state and could only sense the spiritual energy from the jade cauldron. However, he did not feel the spiritual energy whirlpool that was being absorbed by the jade cauldron.
"Ji-er, you broke through?" Lu Chun asked.
As soon as the couple entered the room, they could smell the pungent smell coming off Lu Que's body. Having experienced this before, they naturally understood what was going on.
"I just got some." Lu Que replied humbly.
"Then how do you feel right now? Are you feeling uncomfortable anywhere?" Yu Chuqing was still worried that the huge amount of spiritual energy in the air would have some negative effects on her son.
"Feel? It feels good. " Lu Que felt the condition of his body and said, "I've never felt so good before."
Seeing Lu Que's look, the couple let out a sigh of relief. Lu Chun asked, "QIao, what's your cultivation level now?"
Seeing the look of anticipation on his parents' faces, Lu Que smiled and said, "Thirty-six Foundation Establishment, peak."
"Hu ~" The husband and wife pair glanced at each other and heaved a sigh of relief, and their faces were filled with smiles. In the two hundred years since the founding of the Great Gan Nation, other than the astounding Emperor Yu Wenzu, no one had managed to reach the thirty-sixth rank in the Foundation Establishment Stage. His son Lu Que was the second.
Putting down their worries, the couple frowned as they found the smell of the room unpleasant.
"Men, bring three buckets of hot water and bathe the crown prince." Yu Chuqing shouted loudly and jumped out of the window. She was wearing the clothes from when she slept and her makeup was not yet ready. If someone saw her, it would be disgraceful.
Seeing his wife come out of the window and then looking at his son's wrinkled nose, Lu Chun could not help but shake his head and smile. As he walked out the door, he said, "After you're done showering, come over for breakfast. Tell me what's going on."
Just as Lu Chun walked out of the door, a few servants came in carrying three buckets. After Lu Que sent them out, he quickly took off his clothes and took a bath. Only after washing the third bucket of water did he remove the smell from his body. Looking at the muddy first bucket of water and then looking at the muddy second bucket, Lu Que could not help but smile bitterly.
After taking a bath, Lu Que went to his study and took out the jade cauldron. When the Nine-colored Deer gave him this jade cauldron, he felt that it was a treasure. However, he did not notice that the jade cauldron was missing two ears and three legs. He didn't expect that the piece of jade hidden in the Heaven-Revolving Lock was actually a part of this jade cauldron. What was even more unexpected was that after the jade cauldron was completely restored, it actually allowed him to break through the realm that he had been plaguing for a long time.
Furthermore, the Jade Cauldron left behind by the Substitute Spiritual Beast was able to communicate with Whitey. Lu Que looked at it for a while before calling out to the Jade Cauldron once again, "Little White, Little White."
"Lu Que, are you okay?" A childish voice sounded in Lu Que's heart.
"Me? What's wrong with me? Little White, where are you? Have you also never returned to the mountain? Let me tell you, this Qianyuan City is huge, there are many interesting places, how about we go together? "
To his parents, Lu Que was a son that they didn't need to worry about; to the seniors of the Creek Ring Valley, Lu Que was a respectful and courteous youth; to those of the same age who he had met back in the imperial capital, Lu Que was a slightly mysterious and cold son of the Crown Prince; and to Little White, who had grown up together, Lu Que was the only one who showed the same temperament as his age.
"I … I'm still in the Unreturned Mountain." This might be his first time communicating with someone through the mind, so other than Lu Que, Lil 'White would stop whenever he said it.
"Then what did you tell me?" Lu Que was surprised.
"Yes ~ It's that jade cauldron." This jade cauldron is a holy treasure of the Spirit Controlling Sect, it is my treasure. I can only communicate with you through the Jade Cauldron. "
"So that's how it is." Lu Que nodded his head in understanding before asking in confusion, "Little White, since this jade cauldron is your treasure, why is it with Brother Lu? And the ears, ears, and legs of this jade cauldron are actually hidden in a Heaven-Revolving Lock. Why is this so? "
"I'm not sure about the specifics." Little White was silent for a moment. "I … I only know that this Spirit Controlling Cauldron is the companion treasure of the first generation spirit beast. It is closely related to the spirit beast. However, I don't know the exact connection." "However, I can feel that this spirit pill furnace isn't complete. According to my memories, there should still be 12 star inscriptions on it."
"Twelve Yuan Painting?" Lu Que hurriedly brought the jade cauldron in front of him and examined it closely. He even rubbed it a few times with his hand. However, it was smooth without any marks. Little White, this cauldron doesn't have anything on it.
"I don't think so." "Little White is not very sure. It has also never seen the complete appearance of the God Resisting Cauldron. Everything it said earlier came from its inherited memories." "This … although the Spirit Controlling God Cauldron is the treasure of the Spirit Beast, and the spirit beast is growing stronger with it, this cauldron is not meant for me to use."
"To whom?" Lu Que was even more surprised. Since it was a Holy Spirit Ruler item and also the companion treasure of the first generation of Spirit Beasts, why wasn't it being used by the Spirit Beasts?
"Lu Que, do you know who the first generation Royal Spirit Beast gave this cauldron to?" Lil 'White stayed silent for a while, then seemed to recall something from the depths of its memories.
"Who is it? Could it be Brother Lu? "
"No, it's the first overlord of the Cyanwood Clan, the Flame Emperor."
"Flame Emperor? The round mouth had two ears and three feet. Jade Cauldron? Twelve Yuan Stones? " Upon hearing Whitey mention the Flame Emperor, Lu Que remembered the stories his mother had told him. He couldn't help but gulp and say, "Whitey, are you saying that this jade cauldron was used by the Flame Emperor to stabilize the world and symbolize the Flame Emperor's fire civilization?"
