I Have A Dual World Seal-Chapter 733: The Dragon King Wants to Give a Gift

On New Year's Eve, the Dragon Palace banquet.

This time is far grander than the previous reception for Lu Zheng and the Liu Family, truly magnificent.

Though the Dragon Race has long lifespans, a yearly gathering is also a rather grand and lively entertainment event.

Nectar and jade dew, wondrous fruits.

Pearls and jade fill the hall, drums and flutes play.

Lu Zheng and the others devoured the feast, and with a few Spirit Fruits and several cups of Spirit Wine, they felt their True Qi surging inside, steadily advancing in cultivation.

Especially Du Yueyao, Wang Xiaowan, and Liu Qingquan, progressing visibly before their eyes.

Lu Zheng smacked his lips; it seemed Fan Boyu's expectations could be realized ahead of time.

...

After New Year's, everyone stayed at the Dragon Palace for another couple of days before saying their farewells.

"Sister! Brother-in-law!"

Ao Qian, full of reluctance, tugged at Liu Qingyan's sleeve to persuade them, "Stay for a few more days, there are still so many fun places around the Dragon Palace!"

"We've stayed a long time already; we can't just stay here forever, can we?"

"Well, we could…"

"Alright, alright, we've been here once so we know where you live now. When we have the time, we'll come visit you again, okay?" Liu Qingyan comforted as she patted Ao Qian's little head.

"Really?" Ao Qian asked, skeptically.

"Of course it's true! I'm still waiting to beat you in checkers!" Liu Qingquan jumped in to say.

"Then let's pinky swear!"

Not wanting to be fooled, Ao Qian knew to look for Lu Zheng when making the promise.

"Alright! Pinky swear!"

Lu Zheng extended his little finger to make a promise with Ao Qian, then they pressed their thumbs together.

"Seal it!"

"You have to come!" Ao Qian reminded.

"Don't worry, I'm poor, so I'll definitely be visiting the Dragon Palace often to scrounge for food!" 𝐟𝐫𝕖𝗲𝘄𝚎𝗯𝕟𝐨𝕧𝐞𝚕.𝕔𝕠𝐦

Everyone laughed heartily at his remark.

For the Dragon Race, ordinary treasures are merely a number, so Lu Zheng and his group were already laden with corals, pearls, agates, jade pendants, and gemstones.

While not spiritual materials, they're truly valuable in the mundane world; Wang Xiaowan felt that the jewels she had could be worth about two or three generations of her family's accumulated wealth.

Terrifying indeed!

No wonder Ao Jin casually gave Lu Zheng a five-entry courtyard and a shop in Tonglin County; in terms of value, it was truly trivial to them!

Seeing everyone jest, Ao Jin and Ao Yi smiled from afar.

...

As everyone returned to the palace to pack their belongings, a guard arrived, inviting Lu Zheng and Liu Qingyan to the Dragon King Hall.

"Greetings Dragon King! Greetings Dragon Queen!"

Ao Jin and Ao Yi approached, each pulling over a guest.

"Have you found your stay comfortable these past few days?"

"Comfortable!" Liu Qingyan replied.

"Very comfortable!" Lu Zheng laughed.

"As long as you're comfortable, come often. The Dragon Palace isn't a forbidden place; feel free to come." Ao Yi smiled.

Lu Zheng and Liu Qingyan nodded; the Dragon Palace spans nearly a hundred miles, with only the core being the Dragon Race's direct lineage with stricter guards; other areas are essentially open to outside guests.

During these days, Lu Zheng saw numerous maritime forces visiting the Dragon Palace to offer gifts, along with various friends of Jade Dragon coming to be entertained.

Like them, as friends of the current Dragon King, they were directly accommodated in a palace within the depths of the Dragon Palace, staying for half a month.

"Come, follow me!"

Ao Jin led the two out of the back palace, leisurely walking some distance, then arriving in front of an inconspicuous palace.

Opening the hall door, Lu Zheng followed in, turning past the screen at the entrance, discovering the palace employed the Sumeru Mustard Seed technique.

From the outside, it looked like a small annex about five or six zhang in circumference, but inside it was ten times larger, overall layout…

Very similar to the White Cloud Temple's treasure vault!

"Dragon King, this…"

"For saving Qian Bao'Er, we have yet to properly thank you." Ao Yi said softly, pulling Liu Qingyan aside.

"But… Qian Bao'Er wasn't actually in mortal danger at the time…" Lu Zheng explained.

Ao Jin waved his hand, "Qian Bao'Er was enshrouded in demonic qi, unable to even contact us. If she ran into bad individuals, consequences could be dire."

Indeed, though Ao Qian was wrapped in demonic qi, ordinary anomalies couldn't affect her; the bad people Ao Jin referred to would require hundreds of years of Dao Practice at least.

For example, if she encountered Wuxin, she might actually have to become the Great Virtuous Dragon King at the Great Dragon Temple in Western Regions.

"A daughter's life-saving deed, it's only right for us as parents to show gratitude." Ao Yi smiled, gesturing around, "This is not the Dragon Race's treasury but rather a secret vault of the Dragon King lineage. My spouse and I will accompany you to look around; take anything you need."

"No, no, we…"

Liu Qingyan just started speaking when Ao Yi interrupted, smiling, "We understand you didn't save Qian Bao'Er for a reward, but it's our way of showing appreciation. Surely you wouldn't want us feeling indebted, would you? That would affect our cultivation mindset."

Liu Qingyan, "…"

With Ao Yi's status, after such words, Liu Qingyan and Lu Zheng certainly couldn't refuse.

So…

Lu Zheng clasped his hands, "Thank you, Dragon King and Dragon Queen, we'll humbly accept."

Ao Jin nodded, "As it should be!"

Then the group leisurely wandered through the secret vault, with Ao Yi pointing out treasures to Lu Zheng and Liu Qingyan.

"This is a vial of Innate Gui Water, beneficial for cultivating Water Magic, and it can assist in alchemy, with water nourishing wood to enhance medicinal effects."

Ao Yi knew Liu Qingyan excelled in alchemy, hence mentioned the water.

"This wouldn't be necessary. Qingyan's cultivation is the direct lineage of Upper Realm immortal Chi Songzi, so the Innate Gui Water offers limited benefits; it's better not to waste it."

Upper Realm immortal Chi Songzi!

Ao Jin and Ao Yi exchanged a glance, nodding subtly; they had noticed Liu Qingyan's extraordinary foundation and potential, but hadn't realized it was the direct lineage of an Upper Realm immortal.

"Since the Innate Gui Water isn't much use, Miss Qingyan, how about this pill furnace?"

Ao Yi pointed to a bronze pill furnace about a foot in size, not far away.

The pill furnace had three legs and two ears, with a rounded shape, colored cyan-yellow, and engraved with hundreds of herbs.

"This belongs to an alchemy-skilled overseas Loose Immortal, and after his disciple passed away, the furnace was lost; it changed hands several times, and eventually came into the Dragon Palace."

Ao Yi explained, "If Miss Qingyan doesn't have a suitable pill furnace, she might want to consider this one."

Just seeing this pill furnace made Liu Qingyan's eyes light up; she was currently using the most basic pill furnace, which, while usable, couldn't compare to this Dharma Artifact furnace specifically for crafting spirit medicine and spirit pills.

Noticing Liu Qingyan's expression, Ao Yi retrieved the pill furnace with a smile, handing it to Liu Qingyan, "Go ahead and take it."

"Thank you, Dragon Queen. Qingyan humbly accepts."

Liu Qingyan received the pill furnace and stored it in a fleshy pouch at her waist.

This pouch was actually a Storage Dharma Artifact contributed by Gu Changtian of the Flower Cloud Sect.

Speaking of which, Lu Zheng had acquired three Storage Dharma Artifacts over the years.

He kept a gourd for personal use.

Another was a bracelet once belonging to the Primordial Saint Sect's former Saintess, so he gave it to Du Yueyao.

The last was this pouch, and due to Liu Qingyan having many items nearby, it was given to her.
