Three months after the anniversary celebration ended.
The chill of early spring has just passed.
The scorching summer heat, carrying with it fiery energy, swept across the entire True Treasure Continent.
At this time, all the foxes in the Star Pivot Immortal Fox Territory were hiding in cool, dry caves and rarely went out.
When summer arrived, the number of monks eating boxed lunches suddenly decreased.
But along the border, chilled milk tea has become a hit.
Milk tea has gained even more popularity in the summer.
"Slurp slurp"
Inside the spicy palace by the river, the sounds of slurping could be heard one after another.
Several demon ancestors transformed into their original forms, shrunk in size, and collapsed on the performance stage on the first floor.
Each demon was holding a normal-sized cup in its hands.
This cup is called a storage cup. It is a new product made by Song Chen through weapon crafting. It has a huge capacity, similar to a storage bag, and can store a thousand catties of milk tea, enough for all the ancestors to drink for a day.
Spicy Palace rooftop.
Song Chen and Zhao Ziyi snuggled together, lying on the top floor of the Spicy Palace, enjoying the cool breeze.
What's the most enjoyable thing in summer? It's definitely sunbathing while enjoying air conditioning.
Under Zhao Ziyi's guidance, Song Chen directly used the refining furnace to forge a new air conditioner.
Using spirit stones to power it is not only safe and pollution-free, but also energy-efficient.
For the past three months, Song Chen has been cooking and processing tea leaves every day to stock up on food supplies.
After preparing a year's worth of boxed lunches and a year's worth of tea, they planned to embark on another journey of trials.
This time they plan to go to the blessed land of the dragon clan—the Dragon Transformation Pool.
Legend has it that the Dragon Transformation Pool is where the young dragons of the Jiaolong clan are hatched and born.
Each time the water in the Dragon Transformation Pool washes over a dragon egg, the egg becomes three times harder.
Therefore, the Dragon Transformation Pool is a very precious blessed land and is never open to outsiders.
However, Song Chen and Zhao Ziyi have close ties with the Jiaolong clan, so they can naturally break the rules.
After all, the high-level cultivators of the Flood Dragon Clan are now all employees of the Spicy Palace.
Even the Dragon Ancestor received his annual salary from the Spicy Palace.
Zhao Ziyi, feeling lazy from the sun, rolled over and asked:
"How is it? Has the Flood Dragon Ancestor arrived yet?"
Song Chen held the milk tea cup in his hand and put the straw to Zhao Ziyi's lips.
"Not yet. The Flood Dragon Ancestor is currently with Mu Feng, so it should be a little later. He's afraid that Mu Feng might run away if he's not careful."
Zhao Ziyi was somewhat puzzled:
"Why did Mu Feng run away? Wasn't the Flood Dragon Ancestor good to him?"
In order to retain Mu Feng, this powerful weapon, they made countless preparations.
Now, the Flood Dragon Ancestor gives Mu Feng a bottle of fourth-grade pills every month.
Song Chen shook his head:
"It has nothing to do with Ancestor Jiaolong. According to Ancestor Tianhu, it is because of the summoning of various spiritual objects on the True Treasure Continent that Mu Feng is restless."
Nowadays, small secret realms are frequently appearing in various places, and they are all located around the Star Nexus Fairy Fox Territory.
It goes without saying who this secret realm is open to.
However, the Flood Dragon Ancestor used the excuse of arduous cultivation to make Mu Feng temper his character and prevented him from entering the small secret realm.
Therefore, Mu Feng's temper has become somewhat irritable lately.
However, due to the power of the Flood Dragon Ancestor, he dared not retaliate and could only secretly search for a way to leave the Flood Dragon Ancestor.
Now, the Flood Dragon Ancestor is leading Song Chen and Zhao Ziyi back to the Flood Dragon Clan's territory.
Now is the best time for Mu Feng to escape.
Therefore, the Dragon Ancestor would only come over after settling Mu Feng in.
The two waited from noon until sunset.
After the elders had finished their milk tea, the Flood Dragon Ancestor finally appeared.
The moment the Flood Dragon Ancestor appeared, he had an anxious expression on his face:
"Let's go, let's set off immediately and return to the Flood Dragon's territory!"
The Celestial Fox Ancestor gave him a strange look and asked:
"Why are you in such a hurry? You look even more anxious than Song Chen and Zhao Ziyi."
The Dragon Ancestor paused, then whispered:
"Mu Feng has been wanting to return to the Flood Dragon Clan with me recently, but I haven't agreed."
I originally put him in the cave, thinking he would listen to me and stay there without moving.
But who knew that no sooner had I left than he followed me up.
I don't know what method Mu Feng used, but he followed me without me noticing.
Just now, I happened to run into a small bamboo viper.
Upon hearing this, the Heavenly Fox Ancestor's ears perked up instantly.
Zhao Ziyi's eyes widened: "And then?"
The Dragon Ancestor whispered:
"Xiao Zhuyeqing cultivates formations. He told me to rest assured and send you away, while he would take care of Mu Feng."
"Tsk tsk tsk!" Zhao Ziyi shook his head and sighed. The snake clan ancestor was truly magnanimous!
After a moment of silence, the Dragon Ancestor scratched his head and pulled at his hair.
"Ugh! I'm starting to think there's something wrong with my beastly qualities, that I'm not good enough for Little Bamboo Leaf Green! What is all this?!"
Zhao Ziyi patted the Flood Dragon Ancestor on the shoulder and comforted him:
"Ancestor, things are about to succeed. You will be a great hero of the True Treasure Continent."
"Besides, your relationship with Mu Feng is just an act; there's no real emotion between you. The Snake Clan Ancestor will understand."
The Dragon Ancestor lowered his head helplessly and asked:
"Are you ready? Let's hurry back to the Flood Dragon Clan. After I put you down, I can come back to find Little Bamboo Leaf Green and take Mu Feng back to the cave, so that Mu Feng won't cause trouble for Little Bamboo Leaf Green."
Song Chen and Zhao Ziyi nodded in unison:
"We've been ready for a long time, waiting for you, Ancestor."
Upon hearing this, the Flood Dragon Ancestor immediately transformed into his original form, his enormous body overflowing with spicy food.
Several demon ancestors were squeezed into a corner, baring their teeth and cursing the dragon.
The Qilin Ancestor cursed the most fiercely:
"Couldn't you shrink a little when you transform?...\\u0026%*\\u0026*……%..."
The Dragon Ancestor ignored the foul language of his cronies, instead extending his claws and saying to Song Chen and Zhao Ziyi:
"Take your luggage and come to my paws."
The dragon ancestor's claws were enormous, and Song Chen and Zhao Ziyi sat down safely on them, with plenty of space to spare.
"Hold on tight, let's go!"
The Flood Dragon Ancestor closed its claws, then twisted its body and flew directly out of the main gate of the Spicy Palace, soaring into the sky.
The speeds of the Flood Dragon Ancestor and the Azure Phoenix Ancestor were roughly equal.
Song Chen and Zhao Ziyi sat comfortably on the paws, looking at the clouds through the gaps.
Looking down at the land from the sky is a completely different experience from looking down at an abyss from the water.
But both experiences made Zhao Ziyi realize his own insignificance.
However, even someone as insignificant as myself can, through cultivation, possess extraordinary abilities in this world!
Thinking about this, Zhao Ziyi felt something taking shape in his heart.
After closing his eyes and sensing for a moment, Zhao Ziyi opened them and realized that what had changed was his sword heart.
Previously, his swordsmanship was born for battle, for defeating others.
But at this moment, his sword heart is only for becoming stronger! To break through his own limits and redeem his freedom from the world.
The previous experiences, though delayed by several months, have now finally transformed into insights, enhancing Zhao Ziyi's strength.
