Chapter 1539: Li Hongyou's Opportunity

When Li Hongyou heard Zhen Li Tianwang's question, she couldn't help but show a nervous expression on her face. After all, in her eyes, even a king-level powerhouse was a major figure of the vein-chief level, let alone the existence of a Li Tianwang, who was on an even higher tier.

This was simply not a level she could come into contact with.

"Yes, Great-Great-Grandmother, Senior Sister Hongyou has indeed awakened the Medicine Jade Dragon Physique."

Li Luo, who was standing nearby, helped speak up. He had also seen that Zhen Li Tianwang had no other intentions toward Li Hongyou; on the contrary, it was obvious from her gaze that she had taken an interest in Li Hongyou.

This was clearly a good thing.

Being able to attract the interest of a Li Tianwang-level existence was a tremendous stroke of fate for anyone.

Li Hongyou had helped Li Luo a great deal along the way and could be called his capable assistant, so Li Luo also hoped she could go further.

"Come here, little girl."

Zhen Li Tianwang beckoned slightly toward Li Hongyou. The latter hesitated for a moment, but still took a deep breath and stepped forward, her pretty face carrying a look of reverence.

Li Hongyou was originally somewhat tall and slender, but now standing before the tall and long-legged Zhen Li Tianwang, she seemed somewhat petite and girlish.

Zhen Li Tianwang extended a finger and pressed it against Li Hongyou's brow. The next moment, a green light suddenly surged out from within the latter's body, and finally in the void behind her, it transformed into a slender jade dragon, its entire body like green jade, while also emanating a rich fragrance of medicinal herbs.

"It really is the Medicine Jade Dragon Physique."

Zhen Li Tianwang chuckled softly and nodded in satisfaction.

"Great-Great-Grandmother, what's so special about the Medicine Jade Dragon Physique?" Li Luo asked curiously.

A smile appeared on Zhen Li Tianwang's beautiful, sharp-featured face as she said, "Among our Dragon race, the Heavenly Dragon is the sovereign of all dragons, considered the most powerful and noble. But do you know which kind is the rarest among the Dragon race?"

Li Luo thought for a moment: "Is it this 'Medicine Jade Dragon'?"

Zhen Li Tianwang nodded and said, "Although when it comes to combat power, the Medicine Jade Dragon is inferior to other dragon races, its status among the Dragon race is extremely transcendent. Sometimes, even I have to be a bit polite to those old fellows of the Medicine Jade Dragon clan."

Li Luo actually understood this well. The Dragon race had overwhelming combat power, and their physical bodies possessed incomparable advantages—he had experienced this firsthand himself. But precisely because of the Dragon race's powerful physical bodies, once they suffered injuries, they needed a very long time to recover, and at such times, only the Medicine Jade Dragon could be called upon.

Throughout the long ages of the Dragon race's existence, no one knew how many severely wounded and dying dragon-race powerhouses had been saved by the Medicine Jade Dragon.

For this reason, the Medicine Jade Dragon naturally enjoyed great respect within the Dragon race.

It could be said that the Medicine Jade Dragon was the physician and alchemist of the Dragon race. Although they only knew how to refine the 'Jade Dragon Pill,' the marvel of this pill was enough to crown it as the finest in the world of alchemy.

"The birth of the Medicine Jade Dragon bloodline is extremely difficult. Now, our entire Dragon race has not seen a newly born Medicine Jade Dragon for a very long time. And in a few years, it will be our Dragon race's once-every-three-hundred-years 'Ten Thousand Dragons Sacrifice,' the most important ritual of the Dragon race, and the Medicine Jade Dragon is the officiant of this sacrifice."

"But within the Medicine Jade Dragon clan, no new bloodlines have been born. Those old fellows have already officiated one 'Ten Thousand Dragons Sacrifice' and can no longer continue to officiate."

"So now the entire Dragon race is anxious about this. After all, without an officiant, the 'Ten Thousand Dragons Sacrifice' cannot be held. Those old fellows of the Medicine Jade Dragon clan have been so pressured that their dragon scales are nearly falling off..."

"Later they came up with a method: to find a human who possesses the 'Medicine Jade Dragon Physique,' have them cultivate the secret arts of the Medicine Jade Dragon clan, strengthen their own dragon-race bloodline, and ultimately have their physical body transform into a true Medicine Jade Dragon. In this way, they would meet the rules for officiating the 'Ten Thousand Dragons Sacrifice.'"

"However, the Medicine Jade Dragon Physique is extremely rare. They searched secretly for a long time without finding anything. I didn't expect that I would discover one here. This trip was truly worthwhile." Zhen Li Tianwang gazed at Li Hongyou with gentle eyes.

Li Luo breathed a sigh of relief and said, "So Great-Great-Grandmother wants to take Senior Sister Hongyou to the Dragon race to receive the inheritance of the Medicine Jade Dragon clan?"

Zhen Li Tianwang nodded and said, "This little girl possesses my bloodline, and at the same time has awakened the 'Medicine Jade Dragon Physique.' From the perspective of bloodline, she must have tremendous potential and is very suitable to be the inheritor of the Medicine Jade Dragon clan."

"Senior Sister Hongyou, this is your great opportunity!" Li Luo looked at Li Hongyou, feeling happy for her.

Li Hongyou also understood what was being said. She was stunned for a moment, then said softly, "But..."

She actually didn't really want to go, because she wasn't a very ambitious person. Her only goal before had been to seek justice for her deceased mother.

Her personality was somewhat easygoing. Since Li Luo could give her the chance to take revenge on Li Yuanzhen, she simply followed Li Luo.

She was now used to following Li Luo and providing him with some assistance. There was no other meaning in it; she simply wanted to repay him.

After all, without Li Luo's protection, she wouldn't have been able to gain a foothold in the Li Li Tianwang vein at all.

"What? You're unwilling?" Zhen Li Tianwang saw this and asked, somewhat surprised, since for Li Hongyou this should have been an extremely rare great opportunity.

Li Luo, however, understood Li Hongyou's thoughts and soothed her: "Senior Sister Hongyou, your mother shouldn't be buried on some wild hillside out there. She should be buried in the ancestral garden of Li Yuanzhen's vein, and the position should be high. That way, every year during the memorial visit, whether it's Li Yuanzhen or Li Hongque, they would have to kneel and offer sacrifices before her tombstone, repenting for their irresponsibility and bullying. I think this is what you should be striving for."

Li Hongyou's beautiful eyes widened slightly. Just imagining that scene, even with her temperament, she couldn't help the waves rising in her heart.

Zhen Li Tianwang, who was standing nearby, cast a questioning glance, so Li Luo briefly explained Li Hongyou's situation.

After hearing it, Zhen Li Tianwang's eyebrows immediately shot up as she said, "These useless descendants. They didn't inherit the Old Ancestor's abilities, but they did pick up his philandering ways."

Being inexplicably implicated, Old Ancestor Li Jun also showed an awkward expression.

Zhen Li Tianwang snorted coldly and said to Li Hongyou, "Little girl, Li Luo is right. If you want to stand up for your mother, then you should go to the Medicine Jade Dragon clan even more. Only then will your future self be able to go further."

"Once you truly become powerful, Great-Great-Grandmother will let you become the vein-chief of the Dragon Blood Vein. At that time, Li Yuanzhen will be your subordinate, and you can make him kneel before your mother's grave day and night if you wish."

Li Luo broke out in a cold sweat. As expected of a Li Tianwang-level existence, the cakes she drew were more fragrant and bigger than his.

But if Li Hongyou really became the vein-chief of the Dragon Blood Vein in the future, he couldn't imagine how complicated Li Yuanzhen's feelings would be.

It should have been a matter of bringing honor to the family, but this daughter of his had already severed ties with him, which would make him the laughingstock of the entire Dragon Blood Vein.

Old Ancestor Li Jun cleared his throat dryly. The Dragon Blood Vein was, after all, one of the Mountain-Governing veins. Was Li Li Tianji, that old fellow, going to be kicked out just like that without any explanation?

But before he could speak, he saw Zhen Li Tianwang's unfriendly gaze turn toward him, so he could only shut his mouth helplessly. Well, the Li Li Tianwang vein also originated from Zhen Li Tianwang, so she naturally had this qualification and authority.

And Li Hongyou, under the big cakes drawn by Li Luo and Zhen Li Tianwang, couldn't help but show a trace of a smile. Then she took a deep breath and said respectfully to Zhen Li Tianwang, "Great-Great-Grandmother, I'm willing!"

"Good, good, good."

Zhen Li Tianwang was very satisfied. She also took out an 'Ancestral Scale' as a meeting gift and gave it to Li Hongyou, saying at the same time, "Don't worry, you are my descendant. When you go to the Dragon race, no one will dare bully you."

Li Luo had no doubt about this. After all, Zhen Li Tianwang was a Li Tianwang of the Dragon race, and a Heavenly Dragon at that, so she was at the Old Ancestor level within the Dragon race. With her protection, Li Hongyou would definitely live very comfortably in the Dragon race.

After Zhen Li Tianwang resolved this issue for the Dragon race, she was in a very good mood. Her eyes, which flowed with the pressure of a Heavenly Dragon, suddenly swept over the bracelet on Li Luo's wrist.

"There's a little wolfdog from the Heavenly Wolf race hiding in here?"
