The Azure Dragon excels in magic, the Green Dragon is physically strong, and the Yellow Dragon can protect the body and spirit.

Tianwu, from the Classic of Mountains and Seas: Eight heads and eight faces, tiger body, eight feet and eight tails, greenish-yellow fur, exhaling clouds and mist, controlling water - an eight-headed tiger with greenish-yellow fur;

Lu Wu, from the *Classic of Mountains and Seas*: Kunlun Hill is truly the capital of the Emperor, overseen by the god Lu Wu. This god has the body of a tiger with nine tails, a human face, and tiger claws; he is the god who governs the nine departments of Heaven—the nine-tailed divine tiger.

Qiongqi is also recorded in the Classic of Mountains and Seas, specifically the Northern Classic of the Seas Within. It looks like a tiger, has wings, is good at fighting, is extremely ferocious, likes to eat good people, and protects evil people.

Depending on each person's magical power and inherent potential, the dragon and tiger they cultivate will also be different.

Rather than thinking about which kind of dragon or tiger you should train, what you need to consider is whether you can train it at all.

It is extremely difficult; otherwise, it wouldn't be called a great supernatural power. It requires an immense amount of magical power, and one must reach the level of a human immortal upon entry. Clearly, it is a technique used before the dragon vein was severed.

In terms of combat power, Li Changzhou has already entered the realm of human immortals, but it is uncertain whether he possesses magical power.

It doesn't matter if he doesn't have it. Li Changzhou doesn't want to learn this supernatural power. He wants to use the "Dragon and Tiger Great Supernatural Power" to inspire his "Dragon Subduing and Tiger Taming" skills and give himself another way to deal with enemies.

At the same time, it can also help Emperor Jiajing realize his dream of becoming an immortal.

Whether it works out or not is another matter.

He only taught Emperor Jiajing how to become an immortal, but he never guaranteed whether or not Emperor Jiajing could become an immortal. Therefore, Emperor Jiajing's failure to become an immortal did not constitute a breach of his promise.

Yaochi was also holding a copy of "The Record of the Yin Treasure of the Earth and the Mandate of Heaven" in her hand, her eyes focused, radiating a different kind of captivating beauty.

Inside the palace, the Heavenly Emperor and Empress conspired to deceive the Emperor; outside the palace, the Goddess of Gusha and the Heavenly Lord Peng gathered information together.

The two did not go out immediately.

In modern times, a well-informed person would only glance at the two of them a dozen times.

However, in the mid-Ming Dynasty, when the commodity economy was just beginning to emerge, many people had never left their hometowns and did not have mobile phones. If two people traveled directly together, it would likely cause a traffic accident.

This is not an exaggeration.

Instinct can change a person. After Yang Qinglan obtained the title of "Goddess of Gusha", it cannot be said that she was as beautiful as a fairy, because she was already a fairy.

"Physical enhancement" can make Li Changzhou so handsome that Yang Qinglan stares at him and Yaochi drools – Li Changzhou claims. Of course, it can also make Li Qianxia as charming as a peach blossom and as tender as a baby – Li Qianxia claims.

There's also the effect of cultivation on a person's temperament.

Actually, causing traffic accidents isn't a big deal; the real problem is when nobles, gods, or demons come and cause trouble.

So after Li Changzhou left, they didn't rush out. They also checked their storage bags and temporarily learned a spell to conceal their appearance. As long as they didn't make a move, those with weaker magical power than them could see them, but wouldn't notice their appearance and demeanor.

This kind of magic is almost essential for gods—especially fairies.

Of course, the same goes for the Demon Lord. He's a wanted criminal; if he doesn't behave, does he want to go to jail or be besieged by the righteous path?

The two left the courtyard, pretending to be sisters going out for a stroll, without attracting anyone's attention.

Today is Lunar New Year's Eve. People are coming and going, busy going to temples to burn incense, and buying Spring Festival couplets, New Year pictures, and door god statues. Everywhere is decorated with lanterns and colorful decorations, making it a lively and festive occasion.

As mentioned earlier, this was no longer the era of Zhu Yuanzhang. With the emergence of the commodity economy, the living standards of the people in the Ming Dynasty, if not improved, were at least enriched.

Juggling, sugar figurines, mahjong, cuju (ancient Chinese football), leaf games... Tang Xianzu, the author of "The Peony Pavilion," was to be born in ten years. It was such an era that loved to enjoy life.

Children who received five Yongle Tongbao (copper coins) as New Year's money in advance would call their friends and gesticulate wildly, displaying the air of wealthy people who had bought up the entire street.

Li Qianxia was already mesmerized.

In terms of festive atmosphere, ancient times were no less vibrant than modern times, because ancient times had fewer things to offer, so they naturally held grand celebrations.

"Wow, it's so lively! Look, sister-in-law, there are even soccer balls for sale!" Li Qianxia exclaimed excitedly.

"This is nothing," said an old man who owned a house in the capital and had been dead for almost five hundred years. "You must be from out of town. The capital only truly comes alive during the Lantern Festival!"

"Really?" Li Qianxia could chat with anyone and didn't care at all about the other person showing off.

The old man snorted and said smugly, "Would I lie to you kids? When the time comes, the whole capital will be decorated with lanterns, no, the entire capital will be filled with lanterns! There will also be all sorts of riddles, pleasure boats, and all the ladies and young ladies of the princes and nobles will come out!"

"Old Zhou, what are you doing? Everyone's waiting for you. Come on, let's go listen to some music!"

"Good, good, good! Yi Cui Lou? Yi Cui Lou? Or Yi Cui Lou?" Old Zhou walked briskly and disappeared into the crowd in the blink of an eye.

By the way, during the Ming Dynasty, brothels set up railings as stages for guests to admire the graceful figures of the courtesans; this is the origin of the term "goulan".

After watching Old Man Zhou leave, Li Qianxia said to Yang Qinglan, "Qinglan, let's go to a brothel and ask a couple of girls to listen to music! That's definitely the fastest place to gather information!"

"So there are many skilled fighters in brothels. If a fight breaks out in a brothel and your brother comes over, do you think he might take you down with him?"

"No way, disciplining his own sister in a brothel? Are they even siblings?"

"Don't make lewd jokes on the streets of 1539."

"Hehe! Okay, let's not go to the brothel, let's go buy Spring Festival couplets! Will there be scholars writing couplets on the spot? Maybe we can hear some gossip! Or see historical figures!" Li Qianxia hooked her arm around Yang Qinglan's and walked forward excitedly.

“Li Shizhen lived in this era,” Yang Qinglan said with a smile.

But she was thinking about something else.

The Lantern Festival, also known as the Shangyuan Festival, is the most lively time in the capital. Could it be related to becoming an immortal?
