Chapter 497: The Five Decays of Heaven
and Man Jiang Li often changes his surname and appearance for a reason. His appearance is enough to make people ignore everything.
Looking at the looks in these people's eyes, Jiang Li really wanted to remind them that this was the old Dragon King's birthday party, not his.
"Is Grandpa Long not feeling well? Then quickly contact Uncle Su Wei from the Alchemy Peak." Li Nian'er felt that there was no elixir that Su Wei could not refine, and no disease that could not be cured.
The Dragon King of the East China Sea shook his head slightly without explaining anything further.
…
"What birthday gift have you prepared?"
The dragons gathered in groups of three or five, hoping to know the other party's birthday gifts in advance before celebrating the birthday.
"Twelve luminous pearls with a radius of two inches." One of the dragon sons quietly opened the gift box a crack, revealing a faint green light.
Such a large night-shining pearl, with just a little refining, can be made into a nice spiritual treasure or ornament.
This was what Longzi had painstakingly found in his territory.
"Mine should be inferior to yours. It's just a reverse scale left by a real dragon." The other dragon son said inferior, but he was actually very excited in his heart.
The real dragon's reverse scale is more valuable than the night pearl.
"Look at my longevity peaches. Eat one and you can extend your life by twenty years."
"These things of yours are meaningless. At the birthday party held once every ten years, there are always these things."
The dragon children sneered: "What do you want to give to Grandpa Long? Take it out and let us see it."
"The Qingxiang Pill was made by Chiwulu himself. When you carry it with you, you will have a light fragrance that suppresses all bad smells."
"What's the use of this thing?" The dragon sons disagreed. They would not want such a useless pill even if it was given to them for free.
"You probably don't know this, but I paid a lot of money to get a piece of information from Grandpa Long's maid, saying that Grandpa Long likes these rare and fragrant things recently."
"In terms of value, the Night Pearl and the Reverse Scale are definitely more valuable than my Qingxiang Pill with Danwen, but what's the use of it? If I don't cater to their needs, it will be nothing."
The dragon son was not worried about them replacing the birthday gifts. Although scented things were not valuable, they were rare and they would not be able to find them easily.
"Is your information accurate? I heard that Grandpa Long has been replacing his maids recently. The old maids always mysteriously disappear, and the Dragon Palace recruits new maids. Could it be that your maid is a new one? She doesn't know Grandpa Long's preferences, so she made it up to cheat you out of your money."
"Impossible." The dragon son felt guilty because after the maid gave him the message, she could not be contacted soon after and a new maid replaced her.
"The maid is missing?" Li Nian'er frowned.
"It's Sister Nian'er." The dragon sons were polite to Li Nian'er. She was the daughter of a true dragon and the only girl in the Tribulation Crossing Stage. In terms of net worth, even if they were all tied together, they were not as good as Li Nian'er.
They didn't dare to show off their birthday gifts in front of Li Nian'er. The birthday gifts given by their daughter who was in the Tribulation Period must be more valuable than theirs.
"What happened to the maid's disappearance? Tell me in detail." Li Nian'er felt that there was a big problem.
"This..." The dragon sons looked at each other.
"We are just talking casually, don't take it seriously."
"Recently, a rumor spread from somewhere that Grandpa Long's life was almost over, and in order to break through the tribulation period, he was bewitched by the devil and practiced magic, killing many maids. In order to conceal this news, the Dragon King of the East China Sea announced to the public that the maids were missing, but how could a group of maids disappear? The maids disappeared in batches."
"This is impossible. Grandpa Long is not that kind of dragon." Li Nian'er shook her head vigorously. She didn't believe what they said. Grandpa Long was a very kind dragon and it was impossible for him to do such a thing.
"So this is just a rumor and can't be taken seriously. But the maid's disappearance is true."
Li Nian'er felt that this matter was not simple and there might be a shocking secret hidden behind it. She did not investigate it alone, but ran directly to Jiang Li and told him the news she heard.
Ao Chengcheng and Mo Ruoyu were also listening.
"Then what do you think is the connection between the old Dragon King and the disappearance of the maid?" Jiang Li smiled.
"I, I don't know." Li Nian'er was so anxious that tears welled up in her eyes. Her heart told her that the rumors might be true, that Grandpa Long was practicing magic, but emotionally, she didn't believe it.
The fusion stage can live for two thousand years, and the dragon clan is no exception. Longevity pills and other life-extending items can add another eight hundred years to the natural lifespan of two thousand years.
The old Dragon King is indeed nearing the end of his life.
This is also the reason why Li Er was unwilling to attend the birthday banquet.
The life span during the tribulation period would make the old Dragon King jealous.
"Human Emperor, my father asks you to come over." The Dragon King of the East China Sea respectfully invited Jiang Li.
"That's great, Nian'er, you can come over too, and meet your Grandpa Long."
Jiang Li brought Li Nian'er, Ao Chengcheng and Mo Ruoyu to the old Dragon King's bedroom.
The old Dragon King's bedroom was in stark contrast to the outside world. It was quiet and there was no sound at all.
As soon as Li Nian'er stepped into the bedroom, she smelled a pungent fragrance.
Fragrance can make people feel relaxed and happy, but when various fragrances are intertwined together, the fragrance becomes weird and makes people feel disgusted.

The source of the fragrance is the old Dragon King.
The old Dragon King looked listless, with various spices placed around him.
The old Dragon King was sweating all over. The busy maids were wiping his body back and forth. As soon as they wiped off the sweat, new sweat would be secreted from his body.
This is obviously not the state of a normal fusion period.
Li Nian'er was about to say something, but Jiang Li signaled her not to speak.
"Old Dragon King, how are you feeling recently?" Jiang Li sat on the bed with a smile and chatted with the Old Dragon King.
"I feel okay, but I don't have much energy and I'm not in a good mood. It may be because I haven't rested well recently."
"Then take more rest, and you will get better."
"Thank you for your concern, Human Emperor. Speaking of which, Human Emperor was also in the Tribulation Crossing Stage. Can you tell me how to break through the Tribulation Crossing Stage?"
"This may be a little difficult. The method to break through the Tribulation Period can only be understood but not explained. Why don't you figure it out yourself, Old Dragon King?" Jiang Li refused with a smile.
"I can't figure it out."
"Think about it more."
"I really can't think of it. Can you tell me?"
“Not really.”
The old Dragon King had an old face with wrinkles all over his face. He frowned as if he was dissatisfied with Jiang Li's blunt rejection, or as if he simply wanted to drive Jiang Li away.
"In that case, please go back, Human Emperor."
Jiang Li was neither angry nor ready to leave after being ordered to leave. Instead, he said seriously, "Old Dragon King, do you know you are going to die soon?"
Ao Chengcheng and Mo Ruoyu widened their eyes. They didn’t expect Jiang Li to say that.
Both of them and the Dragon King of the East China Sea, who were in the fusion stage, could see that the old Dragon King was nearing the end of his life. Dirt and sweat appeared on his body, he emitted a foul odor, and his attitude changed drastically... These were the manifestations of the Five Deteriorations of the Celestial Being.
The old Dragon King refused to admit that he was about to die. He used spices to cover up his bad smell and asked his maids to wipe his sweat. He also did not allow the outside world to know his situation. Therefore, any maids who revealed their work content were arranged by the Dragon King of the East China Sea to a secret residence. They were not allowed to communicate with the outside world until the old Dragon King passed away.
The old Dragon King was unwilling to admit it, so all the people in the fusion stage tacitly agreed not to mention the matter, pretending that nothing had happened to the old Dragon King, and held the birthday party as usual.
Who could have thought that Jiang Li would directly expose the old Dragon King's fantasy.
For a moment, the atmosphere was solemn.
