A few days later, Zuo Haoran took his most trusted grandson Zuo Shaohua and sneaked into Zehua Mountain.

He looked at Zuo Shaohua, "Shaohua, what did you want to say that day?"

Zuo Shaohua hesitated for a moment, but still said, "Grandpa, there's a loophole in the barrier you set up."

Zuo Haoran showed a gratified expression, Shaohua was worthy of being his chosen future successor.

He smiled lightly, "After all, we will come back in, so we have to leave some room for ourselves."

Zuo Shaohua's heart beat faster, "This dragon vein..."

Zuo Haoran said firmly: "The dragon vein has no owner. Whoever can use it will own it!"

"Next, listen carefully to this lesson I'm teaching you. You don't need to think we're doing anything wrong. The dragon veins are here, and if the country doesn't use them, they'll sooner or later be used by foreigners. At least use them on us. If we can break through the bottleneck and achieve immortality, wouldn't we be able to protect this country forever? This brings more benefits than just a few dragon veins!"

"So we are not wrong! If God thought we were wrong, he would have sent down thunder to punish us long ago."

As for the fact that the backlash had been transferred to the Dragon Girl, Zuo Haoran felt it unnecessary to tell his grandson for now. Shaohua and Baozhu had a close relationship, and she would definitely not be able to bear the truth. First, let him experience the benefits of refining the Dragon Vein, so he would know how to make choices later.

The Zuo family has treated Baozhu like a treasure over the years, and they have done her justice. No one else in the Zuo family has received the same treatment as Baozhu.

Zuo Shaohua's moral compass reminded him that his grandfather's actions were wrong. If the news leaked out, the Zuo family would be doomed. But he couldn't report his own grandfather...

As he was caught in the battle between heaven and man, Zuo Haoran had already begun using the Zuo family's unique technique to refine the dragon vein. The dragon energy was forced from the dragon vein and gradually merged into Zuo Haoran's body. A small amount fell into Zuo Shaohua.

Zuo Haoran began instructing his grandson on how to absorb dragon energy, and Zuo Shaohua subconsciously followed his instructions. He could feel his own cultivation level constantly increasing, and even hallucinations appeared before his eyes. He saw himself advancing triumphantly, cultivating to the legendary Yuanshen, surviving the heavenly tribulation, becoming a terrestrial immortal in the eyes of the world, with everyone prostrating at his feet. In the blink of an eye, the hallucination disappeared, but the pleasure of controlling everything remained. Zuo Shaohua seemed to understand why his grandfather could not resist the temptation brought by power.

In an instant, a violent storm blew up on Huashan Mountain, like the angry cry of a dragon.

Zuo Shaohua could vaguely see a dragon trying to break free from the force that bound it. It repeatedly stretched out its claws, but to no avail. After struggling for who knows how long, its movements grew slower and slower, and its massive body collapsed helplessly.

Zuo Baozhu, who was originally sleeping in the Zuo family, suddenly shed a tear from the corner of her eye.

At the same time, the heavenly tribulation descended. Zuo Haoran, who had successfully refined the dragon vein, encountered his heavenly tribulation.

Because of the refining of dragon veins, his heavenly tribulation is stronger than that of ordinary cultivators.

Although Zuo Haoran had set up a barrier in advance to prevent the outside world from being alerted by the movements here, he could hide it from others, but he could not hide it from the Yunhua Seal, which was transformed from the divine thunder.

She sensed that someone was going through a heavenly tribulation and rushed over immediately!

As a spiritual treasure, the Yunhua Seal was able to see through Zuo Haoran's true identity at a glance.

"Miaomiao! Someone here is secretly refining the dragon vein!"
