Chapter 47: Secrets of Raising a Dragon

Grand Elder, mind the occasion, mind your identity, mind your language.

Seeing the Grand Elder spouting vulgarities one after another, the Fifth Elder couldn't bear it and reminded him.

"I'm civilized, shovel shovel." The Grand Elder puffed hot air: "Our Azure Cloud Sect has produced such a disciple; what's wrong with me letting out a couple of swear words?"

"You mind me, I'll just shout; it's so damn satisfying."

Upon hearing that, the Fifth Elder also shouted: "Yeah, it's really damn satisfying."

"Nonsense!"

The Grand Elder glared at the Fifth Elder and scolded: "How many times have I told you to be civilized in front of sect disciples?"

The Fifth Elder looked wronged: "Why can you be uncivilized while I have to be civilized?"

"You have me supervising you; I have no one supervising me."

The Grand Elder stopped arguing with the Fifth Elder, laughing as he walked over to Lin Yang and Li Yilan.

"Lin Yang, quickly tell me, how exactly are you raising a dragon?"

Upon hearing that.

Lin Yang smiled and said: "First, naturally my disciple has extraordinary talent, learning fast and cultivating fast."

"My extraordinary talent, you shovel..." The Grand Elder gritted his teeth, holding back the rest of his words, not letting himself be uncivilized.

"Who doesn't know Li Yilan is only Chen-level aptitude; that's not extraordinary talent, is it?"

"As for cultivating solidly, that's even more absurd."

"So many Chen-level aptitude disciples in the sect, striving to break through Foundation Establishment, have cried over thousands upon thousands of attempts."

"How is it that only Li Yilan cultivates so quickly?"

Immediately.

He glared at Lin Yang, adopting the stance of 'I won't rest until you answer.'

Lin Yang smiled again: "Second, naturally it's because the Sect Leader taught me well how to raise disciples."

Upon saying that, the Grand Elder's face was sullen yet he had nothing to say.

"Fine, fine, fine, I can't do anything about you; yes, it's the Sect Leader's merit—I'll believe your nonsense."

Lin Yang smiled and said nothing.

However, the Grand Elder put on a stern face and said: "But I'll say this upfront: if you dare to ruin these two disciples, I'll hold you accountable."

"Yes, I guarantee to complete the task." Lin Yang replied.

Seeing that, the Grand Elder finally nodded satisfactorily: "Alright, everything that needed to be said has been said, everything that needed to be given has been given; I've accepted what you gave. If you need anything later, just come find me."

"As for borrowing the Azure Cloud Bell and organizing personnel to go wipe out the Xiao clan, I'll take care of it."

"Alright, we're leaving."

Lin Yang politely said: "Elders, it's rare for you to come to Heavenly Dao Peak; let me show you around again?"

The Grand Elder rubbed his temples and said: "Another day; you really can't stay too long on Heavenly Dao Peak, or else it might give me a cerebral thrombosis."

"First a Martial God Palace appeared out of nowhere, then we obtained twelve Imperial-level techniques, and afterwards we witnessed Li Yilan's extraordinary abilities."

"In just half an hour, he was hit with one surprise after another."

"He's old; his heart can't take it."

Immediately, he and the Fifth Elder turned into a stream of light and departed.

Originally, the Grand Elder thought that escaping Heavenly Dao Peak's shock would lessen it.

But.

The shock still echoed.

Returning to the Council of Elders meeting room, the Grand Elder immediately convened an Elders' assembly.

At the meeting.

The elders, faces full of curiosity, asked: "Grand Elder, how is it? Did that little brat Lin Yang, after obtaining an Imperial-level technique, get so excited he almost fainted?"

"Shut your mouths, all of you." The Grand Elder scolded: "I warn you, if there's any more business of sending gifts to Lin Yang, don't let me handle it; whoever makes me do it, I'll turn against them."

Upon hearing that, the elders looked at each other, wondering what's wrong with the Grand Elder—could it be that Lin Yang doesn't recognize gold-inlaid jade, unaware that there's an Imperial-level technique inside the bone marrow, offending the Grand Elder?

While everyone was puzzled, the Grand Elder mysteriously smiled: "Because the gift given to Lin Yang is truly damn embarrassing; this old face of mine truly can't afford to lose face."

Upon saying that, the elders became even more puzzled: the Grand Elder's gift is not low in rank, so where does the embarrassment come from?

"Alright, no more discussion; I, Mao Ping, announce here: from now on, our Azure Cloud Sect's goal is to point our swords toward the Holy Land."

Immediately, he excitedly produced twelve Imperial-level techniques and declared with lofty ambition: "I took one Imperial-level technique to give as a gift; after the gift-giving, that brat Lin Yang actually handed back twelve Imperial-level techniques."

"My face is completely lost, but it was worth it."

"From now on, everyone in the Azure Cloud Sect must cultivate shamelessly crazy for me; I will make the Azure Cloud Sect reach Holy Land level."

"What?"

"Twelve Imperial-level techniques?"

The elders looked at each other, then immediately erupted in an uproar.

They all rushed toward the Grand Elder, picked up those twelve Imperial-level techniques, looked at them, touched them.

Looks of astonishment!!

Looks of delight!!

"Heavens, they really are Imperial-level techniques, all of them Imperial-level."

"We've struck it rich, we've struck it rich."

"Hahaha, this old man has lived so many years, about to die, yet this is the first time I've seen so many Imperial-level techniques."

"Wow!! A withered old man directly got so excited he spat out a mouthful of blood."

Nevertheless, even so, it didn't diminish their shock and enthusiasm; after swallowing a pill, they slightly steadied their minds, then once again clutched an Imperial-level technique, reading it side by side.

I just spat blood; can you let me take a look first?

Sure, let's all take a look together.

Exclamations, sighs, and sobs filled the scene.

Moreover, an elder knelt down excitedly and shouted, "Heaven blesses the Azure Cloud Sect!"

The Azure Cloud Holy Land—we've arrived.

Seeing this,

The head elder smirked, completely forgetting his earlier shock on Heaven's Path Peak.

Look at your pathetic ambition.

Too small.

Your vision is too narrow.

Really, a bunch of old fogeys who've never seen the world.

Yes, yes, we are old fogeys who've never seen the world." The elders laughed, feeling both pained and delighted.

An elder curiously asked, "Head Elder, why does Lin Yang have so many Imperial-level techniques?"

After all, they knew Lin Yang's previous situation inside out.

Now, however, he suddenly seems like a nouveau riche—his strength has risen, he has more possessions, and everything is improved.

"Nonsense!" the head elder barked angrily.

He wanted to know more than anyone, but since Lin Yang wouldn't speak, he could only say, "Lin Yang selflessly produced these for you to cultivate—can't they even silence your mouths?"

I announce: these techniques are open to anyone who is suitable.

Thus, the crowd again raised their arms and shouted.

Heaven blesses the Azure Cloud Sect.

The head elder smiled with relief: "Fifth Elder, go brew a pot of the tea Lin Yang gave; I'll drink a whole cup to quell my shock."

Exactly to suppress the shock brought by Lin Yang and his disciple from Heaven's Path Peak.

Soon after, the Fifth Elder handed a cup of tea to the head elder.

The tea's color was like amber holding autumn's glow, its halo suffused with spirit.

A light sniff revealed floral dew sweetness mingling with grass, wood, moss, and pine's subtle rhythm.

"Not bad," the head elder remarked on the tea, then drank it all in one gulp.

The tea slid down his throat like a surging spiritual stream, warm and diffusing, its essence penetrating straight into his organs.

But in an instant,

His body suddenly shuddered violently, light shining through his form, as if stars were blazing.

His meridians became like a widened spiritual river, tumultuously absorbing the spirit energy transformed from the tea; power swelled and condensed in his flesh, and his breath rose steadily.

Within his body, strands of Dao rhythm constantly wandered, seeking to break through shackles and transcend into sainthood.

Several minutes later,

He suddenly opened his eyes; he had thought that after leaving Heaven's Path Peak, he would no longer be shocked by what Lin Yang gave him, but he was wrong.

He was wrong to an extreme degree.

"This tea... actually has the effect of enlightenment."
