Chapter 237 - An Encounter at the Seaport

Huang Longzi transformed into a real dragon and flew for several days without knowing how far he had flown. He only saw a mighty in front that flows into the sea. The river was wide with its width spanning across at least a hundred miles. It was hard to separate the river from the sea if it was not seen from high above.

This was the Qingshui River, the biggest river in Nanjiang of the Yuan Continent. The rainfall had been abundant for this river. As one goes up from the estuary to the source, most of it were high mountains and marshlands, where dragons and snakes appeared often.

The most famous sect at the Qingshui River was the Qingjiang Sword Sect. Huang Longzi reached this river and remembered that the Qingjiang Sword Sect had gone to Qing Xuan. It was truly abominable.

He was injured by the Xuantong Demon Queen's Devilry of Dark Skies. There was a lump of evil Qi condensed on his injuries that would not dissipate for a long time. He could not resolve the Qi of devilry during these few days.

Under the animosity of his mind, a malignancy welled up in him. At the thought of the Qingjiang Sword Sect, he had the urge to approach them to fight and get some spiritual medicine, while also punishing the Qingshui Sword Sect. This also had to do with his cultivation of the Dragon Transformation Incantation. The savage part of the real dragon was aroused by the injuries so it was natural for him to want to abreact.

With this notion in mind, Huang Longzi was about to come up with a c.u.mulus cloud to walk through the cloud roads and get to the Qingshui Sword sect. Suddenly, at this moment, there was a single boat that came from in front. It was flowing down from the upstream of the river.

Originally, it was because of the fact that the Qingshui River was wide so there were a lot of seafaring visitors who would use this to enter Nanjiang and it was nothing strange for them to trade with the barbarians. However, to dare to crossover such a wide river by a single boat without being afraid of capsizing, only those who bore supernatural powers would able to do so. Another bigger possibility was a cultivator.

As it was still far away, Huang Longzi did not use any mana and his gazing dragon eyes only saw a silhouette. With his mana conjured up, his dragon eyes bright and piercing, he immediately observed that it was a young person on the single boat. That person was clad in white and his clean robes fluttered. He was noble and graceful, like a lying celestial riding the waves.

It was truly an excellent figure.

It was as though the person had seen him and showed him a smile. Suddenly, the single boat grazed pass area of unknown miles like a flying arrow and it reached an area nearby him.

And then, the single boat suddenly came to a stable halt on the flowing water, instead of flowing according to the current.

The man in white freely and easily paid his respect to make an obeisance and it was exactly the formality when people from the same Guangqing Sect would meet. Simultaneously, the Qi of Dao that was shown to him was a Guangqing technique. Huang Longzi's mind had doubts. It had been years since he last returned to the mountain gate when did the sect had such a remarkable disciple?

While he was pondering, he heard the man in white said, "Qingwei greets Senior Apprentice-Brother Huang Longzi."

This so-called Qingwei was, of course, Yanxu's Daoist name in Guangqing. Yuming the Honored Celestial had granted him to descend down the mountains to gain experience and temper himself. Naturally, nothing was impossible for him. In five years' time, he had actually secretly taken most control of the actual situation of the Guangqing Celestial Sect. It was only the five immortal Zhenrens that he still did not dare to look into so rashly.

When Huang Longzi heard both the word 'Qingwei', he then remembered that this was the new disciple of the chief Martial Uncle. To be able to have cultivation experience such as this in the span of five years truly surprised him.

Daoist Huanzhen had sent him an air message and the praises would not stop at the mention of 'Qingwei' but never would he have expected this Junior Apprentice-Brother Qingwei to attain cultivation experience to this state of perfection. There was a saying that Chen Jianmei had three years of Chushen and ten years of Ruhua, being the number one prodigy of the world. However, compared to this new Junior Apprentice-Brother Qingwei, who entered Dao at the same time, Qingwei was still very ahead of Chen Jianmei.

At the mention of Chen Jianmei, Huang Longzi still had chills. This fellow's high swordcraft and strong cultivation experience were simply something hard to encounter in his entire life. Even though the Xuantong Demon Queen had injured him but compared to the Chen Jianmei, she was still slightly inferior. When that fellow made his move, 'one man one sword', it was hard to deal with because since it was made without mercy.

Before that, he was worried that the revival of Qing Xuan was inevitable because of Chen Jianmei and Shen Lian but now, with the sect accepting this peerless prodigy, it seemed that this sect's luck was still prosperous. As long as the chief Martial Uncle could accomplish this important matter, he would not be afraid of having more impact added to this tricky situation, he only needed to fret whether destiny was flourishing or not.

With a sway of his body, Huang Longzi transformed back to his human body. He stood on a ball of clear Qi and landed on the surface of the water. Despite the huge waves surging, not one bit of water wet the hem of his robes.

Since he was successful with the Dragon Transformation Incantation, his water abilities were powerful. This little bit of spray of water was naturally refined within his flowing mana.

Huang Longzi laughed and said, "So it's Junior Apprentice-Brother Qingwei. I have heard of you long ago. You should be properly cultivated in the mountains, why did you descend from the mountains?"

Yanxu answered, "I am gaining experience and tempering myself with Senior Apprentice-Brother Huanzhen. I have heard that there was a celestial market opening at the Eastern Sea and was prepared to have a look of the bustle of it. I did not expect to meet Senior Apprentice-Brother Huang Longzi. Luckily before I came down the mountains, the honored master had shown me your aura so that I would not mistake you. Your Dragon Transformation Incantation is truly formidable. You were really majestic looking during this road trip, which I really admire."

With that said, he looked at the right hem of Huang Longzi's robe with mirth. There was still some dragon blood staining the Dao robes.

How could Huang Longzi not notice Yanxu's gaze? What's more was that Yanxu also mentioned the celestial market of the Eastern Sea. He was filled with anger and he could not help but said hatefully, "I am going, to be frank with you, Junior Apprentice-Brother. My injuries were caused by Xuantong Demon Queen of the celestial market of the Eastern Sea when that conniving b*tch made her move. I was not aware and was hit by her Devilry of Dark Skies. I am about to go to the Qingshui Sword Sect to demands for some spiritual medicine to mitigate these injuries."

Yanxu said, "If you are looking for spiritual medicine, why reject what is near at hand and seek what is far away? I have the Chijing Elixir that Uncle Master Dengfeng gave to me before I came down the mountains, it is known to be a healing panacea."

With that said, Yanxu took out a small jade bottle and with a flick of the cork, an elixir pill came flying out. It was as big as a dragon's eye and it suffused exquisite fragrance all around as it floated in midair, surrounded by a red cloud. It seemed that its quality was extraordinary.

The swimming fishes in the water caught the fragrant scent and jumped out from the water one by one. However, they have not reached halfway before they were rolled back by the clear Qi beneath Huang Longzi.

Huang Longzi thought, "This Junior Apprentice-Brother is really good. This Chijing Elixir seems to be newly refined by Uncle Master Dengfeng. Compared to the Chijing Elixir I had before, this quality was better by a good fold. Coincidentally, I have finished the spiritual medicine that I've took long while dealing with that matter for a few years now. Since this is your kind regards, I will accept it as it helps with my injuries."

His pondering stopped and he no longer hesitates. He smiled, "I am lacking in elixir and it would be disrespectful of me to decline your Chijing Elixir then." Huang Longzi was a straightforward person who did not bother about small matters. He opened his mouth and with one inhale, he swallowed the Chijing Elixir. He then used the force of the true dragon and with one sweep of the fore, he scattered the elixir efficacy and converged it to where his injuries were.

The elixir was truly miraculous. It indeed was the healing panacea that was personally refined by Daoist Dengfeng as it forced the evil Qi of the Dark Skies Devilry out of his body. Huang Longzi then broke out his mana to dispel it.

As the elixir continued to work its efficacy, it promoted tissue generation and invigorated the circulation of blood, this immediately caused the injuries to recover quickly.

He sincerely expressed his gratitude, "Junior Apprentice-Brother, the Chijing Elixir this time has truly increased significantly in quality. Could it be that Uncle Master had found some invaluable plants or minerals to further improve the elixir formula?"

Yanxu laughed in his mind, "I gave you a little something extra so of course it was going to be more effective than that lousy elixir by that muzzle of an ox Dengfeng."

As he thought of that, there were no changes on his face at all. It seemed that the heavens were helping him. This fellow, Huang Longzi, was the one with the lowest cultivation experience, the worst ability amongst the twelve Powang masters of Guangqing. Contrary to what he expected, he let him encounter him while he was injured so it was hard for him to not work Huang Longzi over.
