Chapter 1333: Master of Tian Du Men, Heaven Capital True Person

The two met for the first time, yet it was so harmonious, so calm.

Qinglong Daoren was surprised by the refined, gentlemanly man before him, whose gentle aura gave the feeling of a spring breeze, unlike the Heaven Capital Dragon King's presence he had expected. At first he thought this person would wield terrifying Dragon Might, suppress the whole scene, at least look down on everything.

The anticipated contempt never occurred; it seemed… unlike the strong ones he had met before, the Heaven Capital Dragon King had shed that lowly taste, would not do such boring things, or perhaps this Heaven Capital Dragon King truly admired him.

Since their meeting, his eyes had been fixed on him, constantly probing his bloodline and strength, seemingly curious about his identity. Qinglong Daoren also sized up the Heaven Capital Dragon King, and contrary to his expectations, there was no overbearing or contemptuous act, but rather it was quite interesting.

"Your Excellency, Dragon King, you flatter me; you are the one full of vigor, different from the Heaven Capital Dragon King I imagined," Qinglong Daoren teased him directly, unafraid of the faint Dragon Might emanating from him; at his level, even without deliberate emission, some would still leak out.

From a distance it cannot be sensed, but face to face they could naturally feel that terrifying Dragon Might. Qinglong Daoren was unafraid, yet an ordinary demonic beast's bloodline would surely kneel.

"Oh?" the Heaven Capital Dragon King said gently, "Do you think I would meet you and give you a show of force, then force you to bow?"

Qinglong Daoren gave a slight smile, offering no answer, but his smile said it all.

The Heaven Capital Dragon King waved his hand, "I would never be so dull, doing such boring things, suppressing others with force; that is not my will, I would not engage in such lowly amusements, it's too stupid."

"I think so too, hahaha," Qinglong Daoren agreed, this approach was indeed very foolish, at least in his eyes, truly foolish.

"Hahaha." The Heaven Capital Dragon King also laughed, the two threw their heads back and laughed loudly.

The laughter echoed over Longshe Shan, several eyes focused on them; Holy Maiden Bai Hang loosened her clenched fists, her taut nerves relaxed at that moment. She had been so worried that their meeting would turn unpleasant, and that the Heaven Capital Dragon King would be overbearing, suppressing with force; all along she had been pondering how to explain and maintain the transaction.

She certainly did not want this time to ruin her relationship with Qinglong Daoren; she still needed those pills, and Dahe Peak needed them as well.

They could not let a single unpleasantness ruin their ties; fortunately, the Dragon King was very clever and did not act foolishly. Holy Maiden Bai Hang breathed a sigh of relief, yet also felt a knot of anxiety.

"Good, good, the Dragon King did not do anything foolish," Holy Maiden Bai Hang muttered to herself.

Xinran Zhanglao and Tianlian Zhenren also exhaled in relief; they naturally sensed the Heaven Capital Dragon King's threat. As swordsmen, their intuition had them watching the Heaven Capital Dragon King—once he acted, the two would act immediately.

The two exchanged a glance and relaxed slightly.

Heishanyang squinted, staring at the Heaven Capital Dragon King, not easing his vigilance but watching even more cautiously.

After the hearty laughter, the two sat down; Qinglong Daoren brewed tea for them, for they were guests and could not be lax.

"Please have some tea, gentlemen," Qinglong Daoren said with a smile.

The Heaven Capital Dragon King lifted his cup, took a sip, and after savoring it, said contentedly, "This tea is fine, its flavor pure, the aroma abundant, truly rare."

"Your Excellency, Dragon King, if you like it, you may take some back when you return," Qinglong Daoren said smiling, producing some Spirit Tea and handing it to the Heaven Capital Dragon King.

The Heaven Capital Dragon King, unceremoniously, took it directly.

"Hahaha, then I won't be polite, thanks for your Spirit Tea."

The motion was so swift, in the blink of an eye the Spirit Tea on the table vanished; Holy Maiden Bai Hang blinked, looking puzzled at the Heaven Capital Dragon King, she also wanted some Spirit Tea—these teas were truly excellent, capable of strengthening the soul.

Just this effect alone could drive many mad; Spirit Tea can elevate the soul, keep it clear, prevent demonic deviation, and is more useful than most pills. Moreover, drinking Spirit Tea long‑term continuously enhances soul power.

It is a rare Spirit Tea, its effect never wanes; unlike pills, over‑consumption does not diminish it. She had intended to politely ask the Dragon King for a few words, but she simply took it.

"Eh?" Holy Maiden Bai Hang stared in shock at Qinglong Daoren, struggling to speak, "Daoist Qinglong, could you give me some?"

Qinglong Daoren glanced at Holy Maiden Bai Hang; the woman was indeed unceremonious, so he could only produce another portion and hand it to her.

Holy Maiden Bai Hang immediately took it, fearing the Heaven Capital Dragon King would snatch it away.

"Thank you, Daoist Qinglong." Holy Maiden Bai Hang, having received a portion of tea leaves, felt satisfied.

Both received a gift and were in good spirits; the Heaven Capital Dragon King asked, "Daoist Qinglong, what are your thoughts on the Heaven Capital Dragon King Pill?"

He's coming, he's coming.

Qinglong Daoren still thought the Heaven Capital Dragon King would keep rambling, not get straight to the point.

It seems he is indeed impatient.

"The Heaven Capital Dragon King Pill is an Eighth‑grade Pill; its refinement is difficult and the materials are precious. Achieving successful refinement is highly challenging," Qinglong Daoren said, neither refusing nor stating a success rate, leaving it to you to gauge.

The Heaven Capital Dragon King understood his meaning and said, "How many portions of material are needed for successful refinement? What reward do you require?"

"Anything I can provide, I can give you."

Wealthy and generous, the Heaven Capital Dragon King could indeed utter that line.

Qinglong Daoren's smile deepened; this person was truly a big shot—rich indeed, wouldn't shortchange anyone.

"Your Excellency, Dragon King, you are too kind; the reward I require is not small, so please do not be angry," Qinglong Daoren said, pulling out a list he had prepared long ago, presenting it directly this time.

The moment the list was produced, everyone present was stunned.

One by one they were dumbfounded.

Tian Du Men.

At the summit of the main peak, one person stood atop, with another person respectfully awaiting behind.

Wu Mie Zhenren fixed his gaze on the figure before him and said respectfully, "Senior brother, Your Excellency the Dragon King has left the Dragon Palace and headed to the Mangshan Mountain Range."

"Oh." The Heaven Capital True Person responded very calmly, neither shocked nor particularly surprised.

That attitude was rather off.

"Senior brother, aren't you in a hurry?" Wu Mie Zhenren asked, quite surprised at his brother's odd demeanor.

The Heaven Capital True Person turned, giving a bitter smile, "Does my haste help? Your Excellency the Dragon King has left the sect; even I cannot stop him."

"You know full well the Dragon King's strength; when he left the sect I saw it, and he noticed me, sped away. I wanted to call out, but he would not stop."
