As the chief planner of the battle strategy, although Lan Xuanyu did not participate in the execution, the recognition of the plan undoubtedly elevated his status significantly among the Dragon Knights.
On the sa day, he received a notification from Old Dragon Hou Dingzhong, the president of the Sky Dragon General Chamber of Comrce, asking him to visit the general chamber in the afternoon without specifying the purpose. It was simply a summons.
Lan Xuanyu naturally understood. Just past noon, he instructed Bai Xiuxiu to stay at the Sky Dragon Essence Mansion for cultivation, while he headed to the Sky Dragon General Chamber of Comrce alone.
When he arrived, Yu Yan was already waiting outside. Her deanor towards Lan Xuanyu had grown increasingly respectful. The reason was simple; as soon as he entered, Lan Xuanyu saw the old dragon.
An unexpected sight, for the old dragon was waiting for his arrival inside the gates.
Lan Xuanyu was slightly flattered and hurriedly went up to greet him respectfully, "How could I trouble you to wait here?"
Hou Dingzhong waved his hand and said, "I have sothing to discuss with you. Let’s talk as we walk." As he spoke, a gentle golden aura quietly expanded, enveloping both of them. Lan Xuanyu was filled with envy; this was an exceptionally powerful divine consciousness condensed into a tangible form!
Hou Dingzhong chuckled, "Three old things have arrived. I’ve boasted to them. Now it’s up to you; their situation is similar to mine. The oldest one is over a hundred years older than , that’s truly one who refuses to die. I thought he was just waiting to die, but once I ntioned there was an opportunity to extend life, this old thing beca more eager than anyone, hahaha. He urgently asked to call you over. I’ve already negotiated the price with these old dragons. You don’t need to say anything later, just be respectful and praise them all you can. This is also helping yourself, understand?"
Lan Xuanyu understood perfectly, even more than perfectly. He quickly said, "Rest assured, I will do my utmost. If you have so Heaven Sustaining Crystal Stones, could you give so later? It would enhance the effect."
Hou Dingzhong was taken aback, "Why didn’t you say so earlier? Last ti..."
Lan Xuanyu responded a bit awkwardly, "Heaven Sustaining Crystal Stones are so expensive, I felt embarrassed to ask..."
"Expensive? There’s plenty. Just ask for whatever you need in the future. It seems I should join in their cultivation this ti and see if the effect is better than last ti. Covering multiple isn’t a problem, right?" Hou Dingzhong asked repeatedly.
Lan Xuanyu nodded, "It shouldn’t be a problem. Actually, within the domain, the effect is similar. As long as it’s within my domain range, it’s the sa."
This wasn’t direct assistance in cultivation but using the domain to stimulate their bloodlines, which only consud Lan Xuanyu’s ability to release the domain. Of course, the strength of the domain, and the strength of his Dragon Power output, were related.
When he helped his companions cultivate, he transford his Dragon Power into a suitable strength to refine their bodies, and the effect was naturally better. He could also help the Dragon Clan similarly, even with the pure energy of Dragon God’s Dragon Marrow, but he obviously wouldn’t do that. Dragon God’s Dragon Marrow was so precious he wasn’t sure if it would be enough when he achieved Dragon God status. Besides, the Dragon Clan was too powerful, which posed a danger to him.
Still the sa warehouse; as Lan Xuanyu followed Hou Dingzhong into the warehouse, he imdiately felt a strange sensation, as if sothing had awoken in his perception. Then, six icy stares fell upon him.
Three elders sat cross-legged in different positions, all eyes were fixed on him at this mont.
At a certain age, it’s hard to describe a person’s appearance, mostly characterized by wrinkled skin and white hair. These individuals were much the sa. Two n and one woman; this was the only distinction Lan Xuanyu could make. Each of them was no younger than Hou Dingzhong.
But in contrast to their aged faces, their stares were razor-sharp, exuding a powerful aura.
However, the cold and assertive stares only lasted a mont before fading, their gazes returning to their original dimness. Spiritually, they seed even weaker than Hou Dingzhong, truly appearing in their twilight years.
Sitting in the center was an old lady, looking as though she could breathe her last at any mont, her body trembling, her voice raspy, muttering, "How beautiful! Was I this beautiful when I was young?"
The old man on her right hurriedly said, "Weren’t you? It’s just that back then you didn’t fancy us, but at that ti, you were the goddess in the hearts of all young male mbers of our Dragon Clan."
The old man on the left quickly agreed, "Indeed, indeed. I still rember old Hou drooling at the sight of you from afar in those days. Now, I reckon he can’t even control his bladder, drooling all the ti."
"Immortal one, speak for yourself, don’t talk about ," Hou Dingzhong retorted with so indignation.
The old man on the left remained unfazed, "What’s the matter with ? I’m stronger than you. At least I know what self-awareness is. I don’t entertain impossible ideas. I just admire and adore purely. Humph humph."
Hou Dingzhong’s tone was slightly uneven, but the old lady smiled and said, "In front of the child, that’s enough. While you might stay alive by bickering, aren’t you afraid of embarrassnt?"
Lan Xuanyu slightly bowed in courtesy, without comnting.
Hou Dingzhong said to him, "Let introduce you. This elderly sister in the middle is currently the oldest mber of our Dragon Clan, and in our history, the only one to live over five thousand years. Once the first beauty of our Dragon Clan and one of the most powerful Dragon Knights, the wife of the forr Sky Dragon Leader, Zhang Chujia. You may call her Elder Zhang."
Lan Xuanyu hurriedly and respectfully said, "Greetings, Elder Zhang."
Zhang Chujia gave Hou Dingzhong a sidelong glance, "No need to say so much detail, after all, I’m just an immortal old one. Child, frankly, at my stage, living one more day or less doesn’t matter unless the Divine Realm is truly established; then perhaps I can regain my past vigor. What I yearn for isn’t how long I live, it’s the hope of restoring youth. Perhaps that’s the shared wish of us won."
Lan Xuanyu said, "You certainly can. I’m eager to see how beautiful you would be if you regained your youth. Still the first beauty of our Dragon Clan, I am sure."
"Hahaha," Zhang Chujia laughed, "Well-spoken, child. I’ll take that blessing."
Hou Dingzhong, after she spoke, introduced the elder on the right, "This immortal one is Cao Yibo. He used to be called Cao One Wave because he liked to go all out in battle but lacked endurance. You may call him Elder Cao."
"Indeed, he lacks endurance, just one wave," quipped the old man on the left.
The elder on the right grumbled, "Oh please, you’re not even one wave, just fast with your lips."
Hou Dingzhong said, "The shaless one on the left is Guo Zibang, known for his thick skin, once the weakest among us, yet surprisingly not dying and persisting until now. His mouth is foul; you need not heed him."
Lan Xuanyu paid his respects to each of them, eting the three old dragons.
These three, along with Hou Dingzhong, were likely the four oldest mbers of the Dragon Clan today, with Zhang Chujia probably being the eldest, followed by Hou Dingzhong. Undoubtedly, their life force was nearing its end, but despite this, they were all forr Dragon Knights! Especially Zhang Chujia, living to five thousand years old, strength was undoubtedly crucial beyond luck.
