Day after day, Ji Yuan had already completed his calligraphy and painting, while Zao Niang was still refining the fan.
On this day, a flying sword came from the sky and hovered over Ning'an County for a long time. Ji Yuan looked at Zao Niang and saw that she was concentrating on refining the fan. He raised his head to the sky and the special artistic conception of Ju'an Pavilion with the jujube tree and the plaque as the core was suddenly revealed.
The flying sword in the sky instantly sensed something and immediately turned into a stream of light and fell from the sky. Ji Yuan stretched out his hand and the flying sword was in his hand.
The Qingteng Sword, which was surrounded by a group of small characters and floating next to the "Sword Book", turned the sword slightly, but when it saw that it was just a flying sword, it ignored it.
"From the Tianji Pavilion?"
On Ji Yuan's desk, the Xiezhi had turned back into a painting, because the magic power that Ji Yuan left on the painting had been squandered by the Xiezhi, and naturally it could no longer maintain its human form.
Ji Yuan glanced at the Xiezhi scroll, nodded, and calmly felt the divine will in the flying sword.
"It seems that there is no movement..."
Ji Yuan murmured to himself, Tianji Pavilion has many long-bearded old men, and he has the Tianji Wheel in his hand. Even if he can't figure out the real chess player behind the scenes, he can definitely figure out some clues. Ji Yuan himself may also see the other party's move in his mind. Now, at least on the surface, neither side is moving.
'Is it because the time is too short?'
After the chaos in Tianyu Continent, the cultivators of Tianyu Continent immediately rushed into the Black Wasteland, which caused a sensation in the world. However, it is of course very likely that something bigger is brewing. Ji Yuan can only keep an eye on it through his own channels at any time, while pushing forward his ideas step by step.
"Ji Yuan, please use your transformation technique to lend me some mana. It's inconvenient for me to do anything like this."
Ji Yuan left his divine will on the flying sword and then threw it into the sky. He then withdrew his sight when he saw it turn into a sword shadow and disappear into nothingness.
"Ji Yuan, Ji Yuan, hey, the Dragon Transformation Banquet is not long away, how can I attend the banquet with my dignity?"
Because of the slight excitement, bursts of dangerous black smoke rose from the scroll of Xiezhi, but it had no effect on Ji Yuan.
"Then you won't be attending the banquet. I'm bringing Zao Niang and Hu Yun."
Ji Yuan rolled up the calligraphy and painting he had written on the surface bit by bit. The Xiezhi over there became a little anxious and looked at Hu Yun who had been looking at Zao Niang seriously.
"Uh, cough, cough..."
Hu Yun's ears moved and he looked at the table. He immediately reacted, stood up and walked to Ji Yuan.
"Mr. Ji, um, Master wants to teach me how to practice, so this is a little inconvenient..."
Ji Yuan glanced at Hu Yun, then at the Xiezhi on the table, shook his head helplessly, stretched out his hand and pointed at the Xiezhi scroll, casting a spell using his own transformation method.
The next moment, a light appeared on the Xiezhi scroll, and the Xiezhi scroll flew to the edge of the table and turned into a lifelike middle-aged man. He was not gentle and elegant, but he was also very dignified. Judging from his temperament, he looked more like a chivalrous hero.
"Wow! Hahahaha, I like his appearance this time better? Tsk tsk tsk? He looks more like a real person this time. I said you were just trying to fool me last time..."
While speaking, Xiezhi chewed his teeth for a while. Feeling that the feeling was more real, he immediately felt better and found Hu Yun more pleasing to the eye.
"Come, come, come? Master, let me show you some real stuff. What are some monsters these days? Just having terrifying demonic energy and powerful demonic strength is enough?"
Hu Yun's eyes lit up and he quickly moved to the table.
"Master, please tell me!"
"Hehe? Although your demonic energy is very positive and your demonic power is pure? And you have your own path, but you haven't found the essence of cultivation? From a demon's perspective, demonic energy and demonic power are another you. Only when you have a strong will can you take the first step."
"For example, deterrence!"
As soon as Xiezhi finished saying the word "shock", a terrifying aura burst out from his body, as if a roar came from the ancient times on the inaudible level of thoughts.
Roar…
Ji Yuan reacted very quickly. When Xiezhi said the word "for example", he had already waved his sleeves to cover Zao Niang, so that Xiezhi could not affect Zao Niang who was still refining the fan.
Hu Yun, who was facing the Xiezhi directly, was frightened back to the state of a red fox from his transformed young boyish appearance in that instant. His whole body seemed to be petrified, and even his lively eyes were frozen.
"Hahaha, it's just an idea of mine. Your family manager didn't lend me much mana, so I don't dare to use it carelessly. But I tell you, the Lu Lao Hu you've been thinking about has already figured out this trick."
Hu Yun was still in a petrified state, and Ji Yuan was listening very carefully from the side. Xiezhi was indeed teaching Hu Yun seriously.
…
In late December, as if it had been calculated long ago, all the brilliance on the fan in Zao Niang's hand was gathered back into the fan. Zao Niang stood up happily and flicked the fan gently.
"Pah~"
A folding fan was opened, with lace fluttering and exquisite patterns. On it was a clear jujube tree, and under the tree was Ying Ruoli. She had one hand behind her back and the other hand holding a branch in a sword-wielding gesture, the branch pointing diagonally to the sky, and countless yellow flowers flew along the direction of the sword, turning into a flower dragon.
Zao Niang's embroidery was extremely delicate, with the stitches so fine that even the tiniest yellow flowers on the paper fan were extremely clear. To use Ji Yuan's words from his previous life, it could be described as having an extremely high resolution.
Xiezhi leaned over to take a look.
"I didn't realize you were so good. This is not worse than Ji Yuan's drawing, but why does it look a bit like..."
Zao Niang lowered her head slightly and looked at Ji Yuan.
"Sir... Zao Niang has always remembered that scene in her heart. When she heard about the dragon transformation, she naturally embroidered it... But this was given to Ruoli, so I, I changed it..."
Hu Yun stared at the fan blankly. He had been unable to see clearly because of the light before. Now that he finally saw it clearly, he couldn't help but speak out.
"This is clearly the scene where the master danced with a sword and gave flowers..."
The Xiezhi was clicking its tongue beside them.
"I told you!"
Ji Yuan didn't take it seriously.
"Ha, it's pretty nice. To a certain extent, it not only reflects your friendship, but also fits the concept of Ruoli turning into a dragon. Don't say she doesn't know you've switched the subject. Even if she knows, it won't matter."
As he spoke, Ji Yuan looked at the sky and calculated with his fingers.
"Well, it's about time. Now that you've finished the gift, let's go."
…
Ying Hong's daughter escaped from the water successfully, and she shed her dragon body and turned into a real dragon within a year. The news spread throughout the world through various aquatic creatures, shocking them all. The Tongtian River was about to hold a dragon-transforming banquet, which attracted a lot of aquatic creatures all over the world.
Although the Tongtian River is very large, the size of the Tongtian River Dragon Palace is also limited. Even if the Dragon King of Tongtian River has announced that he will set up a hundred-mile banquet along the Tongtian River underwater, being able to actually enter the Tongtian River Dragon Palace must be the most prestigious.
Not to mention the various aquatic creatures in Dazhen and the inland of Yunzhou, even many of the sea creatures in the four seas felt that they could have some connection with them, and they all rushed to the Tongtian River in the southern inland of Yunzhou.
Many of the water creatures in the inland of Yunzhou are under the command of the old dragon, so they can be considered to be the first to get the moon. No matter which river god, water god, or righteous cultivator, as long as it is not a small river or stream, they can go to the Dragon Palace for a banquet or even enter the Dragon Palace. The prominent ones are allowed to bring their families.
In the Chunmu River, a white dragon was carrying an old turtle and a big blue carp, constantly breaking through the water flow to move forward. Although it did not use the power of the river god, its speed was much faster than that of ordinary water control.
"Master Jiangshen, Grandpa Old Turtle, do you think Mr. Ji will go? Will the little fox go?"
The big black carp kept swimming near the white dragon, and the nearby water area was taken away by the white dragon, so it could swim freely in this area.
The white dragon grinned but said nothing, while the old turtle replied with a smile.
"Mr. Ji and Lord Long are close friends, and Madam Ying even calls Mr. Ji uncle. Even if Mr. Ji is at the end of the world, he will surely come back for her Dragon Transformation Banquet. As for that little fox, well, I don't know..."
Although the little fox is unlikely to be able to attend such a banquet, if Mr. Ji really takes him with him, who would dare to refuse
"Hahahaha, Madam Ying has already passed away, and transformed into a dragon in less than a year. She is truly a natural talent, and we are really envious of her!"
Bai Qi spoke with great envy, but there was no excessive envy in his voice, only sincere congratulations. If it were him decades ago, if he heard that there was a dragon transforming into a dragon nearby, even if it was the Dragon King's daughter, he would have felt very uncomfortable, but now he was very open-minded.
"Master Jiang Shen, you can do it too!"
The big black carp said this very seriously, causing the white dragon to laugh.
"Hahahaha, of course!"
The white dragon was dancing in the river, and its body was no longer bald as before. Instead, there were some fine white light patterns reflected on its skin. Although it was still scaleless, these light patterns sometimes looked like layers of scales.
