Chapter Twenty-Seven: The Eternal Dragon Pool
After meeting Xia Lian and going through the initial acts of kindness and filial piety, Xia Lian regained some of the majesty of a powerful king.
She got up and led Su Yang toward the study.
Following behind, gazing at Xia Lian's beautiful back outlined by her purple gauze dress, Su Yang unconsciously scratched his nose.
Actually, he quite enjoyed chatting with his master while sitting close together.
Walking into the study, Xia Lian picked up an envelope from the desk and handed it to Su Yang. Under the latter's questioning gaze, she said, "The reason I called you back this time is not for anything else, but to let you enter the Great Xia Academy and become a student there."
"The Great Xia Academy?"
Su Yang had naturally heard of the Great Xia Academy.
It is a martial arts academy established by the Xia family, the royal family of the Great Xia Dynasty, with the aim of recruiting students from all over the world for their use.
But he didn't understand why Xia Lian wanted Xu Wan to go to the Great Xia Academy.
As a disciple of the Luoxia Sword Sect and a direct disciple of the sect leader, Xu Wan's identity would be very awkward if she went to the Great Xia Academy, because the Great Xia royal family and the four major sects are not so harmonious.
The practice of chivalry using martial arts to break the law was also prevalent in the Great Xia Dynasty.
Noticing Su Yang's confusion, Xia Lian walked to the chair behind the desk and sat down, leaning back in her chair. Her curvaceous figure was on full display, almost making Su Yang lose his composure.
"Wan'er, have you ever heard of the Eternal Dragon Pool?"
Su Yang shook his head; he truly didn't know.
Xia Lian wasn't surprised, and then explained to him, "It is said that in the distant past, a true dragon once bled here. After the dragon perished, its body transformed into a pool of blood, which has existed to this day..."
With Xia Lian's explanation, Su Yang gradually understood.
I understand why Xia Lian wanted Xu Wan to enter the Great Xia Academy; it was all for the sake of the Eternal Dragon Pool.
The Eternal Dragon Pool has existed to this day and has always been guarded by the Great Xia royal family, appearing only once every hundred years.
Whenever the Dragon Pool opens, only the Great Xia royal family is qualified to enter; even the four major sects cannot even dream of getting a piece of it.
However, there was one exception: in order to recruit more talented students from all over the world, the Great Xia Dynasty specially set aside three spots in the Eternal Dragon Pool as rewards for the top three in the Academy Martial Arts Competition six months later.
Xia Lian's intention was for Xu Wan to take this opportunity to enter the Great Xia Academy, obtain a spot, and successfully enter the Eternal Dragon Pool.
"Within the Eternal Dragon Pool, the blood of an ancient true dragon still exists. If you enter it and are able to refine a trace of the true dragon's blood energy, it will greatly benefit your cultivation."
"It's just a pity that the Xia family of my Luoxia Sword Sect has developed a rift with the Great Xia royal family over the years, otherwise we wouldn't have needed to trouble you like this."
Xia Lian sighed, expressing her helplessness regarding the conflict with the Great Xia royal family.
Two tigers cannot share one mountain. The Luoxia Sword Sect is so close to the imperial city that even though they share the same ancestor, the blood ties have long since faded with the passage of thousands of years.
If you want your disciple to enter the Eternal Dragon Pool, relying on personal connections won't work.
"Master, do true dragons really exist in this world?"
Although Xia Lian lamented, Su Yang's focus was clearly not on the conflict between the Luo Xia Sword Sect and the Great Xia Dynasty.
For Su Yang, the question of whether true dragons still exist in the world was far more appealing.
Because he had never seen a dragon, neither before nor after his time travel.
Moreover, having been a Chinese person from Earth in my previous life, I had quite high expectations for dragons.
When her disciple suddenly asked this question, Xia Lian didn't know what to say for a moment. After thinking for a while, she said, "There should have been true dragons in the world. There is no doubt about that. First, there is indeed the essence blood of an ancient true dragon in the Eternal Dragon Pool. Second, there are also many dragon beasts among the demon beasts that carry dragon blood."
"But after countless years, there has been no news of the appearance of the Primordial True Dragon. It is likely that it has disappeared."
In the end, Xia Lian spoke with great uncertainty. Ancient records state that the Primordial True Dragon was at least a level nine demon beast, corresponding to a human Emperor Realm expert.
Could such an existence truly vanish silently? Xia Lian thought it was highly unlikely, but the fact remained that no one in the world had ever seen the Primordial True Dragon appear again.
Not receiving a definite answer, Su Yang was not disappointed. His curiosity about the existence of dragons was nothing more than a slight obsession.
Whether it's there or not doesn't make any difference.
Holding the letter, Su Yang looked at Xia Lian and said with a smile, "Master, can this letter really guarantee that I will be able to enter the Great Xia Academy smoothly? Don't tell me that I will be kicked out by them."
It's no wonder Su Yang was so suspicious. After all, anyone with eyes could see the relationship between the Falling Cloud Sword Sect and the Great Xia royal family. Under these circumstances, it was hard to say whether the letter of introduction Xia Lian gave him would still be useful.
Xia Lian glanced at Su Yang with annoyance and said indifferently, "Of course it couldn't be a letter of introduction that I wrote. It was a friend of mine who wrote it for me."
Don't worry, I'll help you disguise yourself, and your identity has already been arranged for you. All you need to do is attend school on time.
Xia Lian was very confident and had no worries about whether Su Yang could successfully enter the Great Xia Academy.
Seeing that his master had said so, Su Yang naturally couldn't say anything more.
Moreover, he had no objection to participating in the competition at the Great Xia Academy or entering the Eternal Dragon Pool.
After chatting with Xia Lian for a while, Su Yang took his leave.
After descending from Luoxia Peak, walking along the sect's path, people would greet him from time to time, and Su Yang would casually nod in response.
He couldn't help but think of Su Chen. As the main character of the Eternal Dragon Pool, it was the biggest event in the Great Xia Dynasty recently, and Su Chen would definitely participate. That was a certainty.
