After reaching the peak of the state of refining essence, refining essence into qi can be said to be a crucial step on the road of cultivation.

Once one has entered the Qi Transformation Stage, the practitioner will be able to generate his own magical powers.

Magic power can not only enhance the power of supernatural powers, but also can obtain various wonderful benefits when casting spells. Normally speaking, only when a practitioner enters the Qi Transformation Realm can he truly complete the transformation from a mortal to a practitioner.

Having come to this point, Shen Yuan naturally hoped to quickly complete the refining of essence into Qi, but the issue of guiding novices through the sect's spirit pool was a thorn in his side.

The best solution for Shen Yuan at the moment is to find a natural spirit pool to refine his essence into qi, thereby completing the novice guidance task.

"Perhaps we should prepare to go to the Dragon Monarch Banquet of the Dragon Monarch of Fu Bo Tan to trade for the Natural Spirit Pool."

Such a thought flashed through Shen Yuan's mind.

Glancing at Bai Xue who was jumping up and down on his body looking for wounds, Shen Yuan grabbed her and put her on the ground, saying comfortingly:

"Don't worry, I'm fine."

Although Shen Yuan said this, Bai Xue's eyes still revealed worry.

However, another thing soon attracted Bai Xue's attention.

As Bai Xue jumped up and down on Shen Yuan, her four little paws, which were like white gloves, were already covered in dirty blood. Even her body hair was covered in blood, but it was not obvious because of the black color.

Bai Xue became anxious when she saw this.

Although she is a little naughty at ordinary times, she is still very clean by nature. Her four white gloves are especially regarded by her as the symbol of her status as the king of cats. She will clean them specially after every meal to keep them clean.

The blood stain in front of it is absolutely intolerable for a cat with obsessive-compulsive disorder.

A pair of large heterochromatic eyes darted around, and then Bai Xue quickly locked her sights on Shen Yuan's fish tank on the ground.

Climbing onto the fish tank, Snow White unceremoniously washed her little claws with the water in the tank, which made the golden carp anxious and angry.

Shen Yuan wanted to stop it when he saw this, but a noise coming from the hall attracted his attention.

In the main hall of this huge Dragon King Temple, the majestic statue representing the Yunmeng Dragon King at the top has lost its former brilliance. Its pair of sky-blue dragon eyes seem to have turned into ordinary stone, no longer having the charm it once had.

And below the statue of the Dragon King, an old figure slowly stood up while coughing.

This was Yu Changliu, who had taken the initiative to attack Shen Yuan and was eventually severely injured by Shen Yuan.

If it weren't for the Yunmeng Dragon King who led Shen Yuan into the broken dream, Yu Changliu would have surely died there.

Now that Yunmeng Dragon Lord's remnant dream has dissipated, it is only a thought for Shen Yuan to kill Yu Changliu, but Shen Yuan did not choose to do so.

Yu Changliu's previous performance was nothing more than fulfilling his duty to defend the Dragon King Temple. In addition, Shen Yuan also owed a lot of favors to the Yunmeng Dragon King. As long as Yu Changliu did not take the initiative to attack again, Shen Yuan would not take action against him.

Yu Changliu has restored his half-human, half-dragon form to that of an old man. The wound on his chest has stopped bleeding, but it still has a significant impact on him.

At this moment, he was breathing heavily, and his cloudy eyes were full of disbelief.

"Why did you come back?"

"Lord Dragon! Why can't I sense Lord Dragon's aura?"

The scene before him completely overturned Yu Changliu's cognition.

As the priest of Longjun Temple, Yu Changliu's family is actually not ordinary people.

Ten thousand years ago, their lineage was granted true dragon blood by the Yunmeng Dragon King, transforming them into a half-dragon clan. They have since been passed down from generation to generation as priests of the Dragon King Temple.

During the period of spiritual energy depletion, the half-dragon bloodline inheritance was not obvious, and the Yu family members were almost the same as ordinary people except that they were slightly stronger.

The Yu family was not aware of their own abnormality, and only regarded the records of their ancestors as legends. However, once the spiritual energy tide returned, the half-dragon blood in the Yu family would awaken, and the inherited memories related to it would also be received by them.

The children of the Yu family who awaken their bloodline will become the most natural temple priests of the Dragon King Temple, and the only ones who can communicate with the Dragon King's remnant dreams.

It is for this reason that the Yu family has been able to stay in the Dragon King Temple for thousands of years to protect the Dragon King.

When Yu Changliu was young, he did not believe in the so-called legends. It was not until more than half a year ago when the spiritual energy tide returned and his bloodline was awakened and he obtained the inherited memory that he truly took on the identity of a temple priest at the Dragon King Temple.

As a priest of the Dragon King Temple, he could occasionally catch a glimpse of the Dragon King's remnants in his dreams at night, and he became more and more reverent towards the existence of the Yunmeng Dragon King.

In his eyes, Yunmeng Dragon King is almost invincible. As long as Yunmeng Dragon King takes action, no matter how powerful the enemy is, he can easily suppress it.

However, today, this thing that he regarded as common sense was broken.

Shen Yuan walked out of Yunmeng Dragon King's broken dream. Apart from the blood stains on his body, his aura was even stronger than before.

On the other hand, Yunmeng Dragon King had completely lost contact, and even the remnant dream aura that he had been able to capture had dissipated.

How could this be acceptable to a family that has served the Dragon King for generations?

Seeing Yu Changliu's collapse, Shen Yuan said calmly:

"The Yunmeng Dragon King died ten thousand years ago, and now the remaining remnants of his dream have completely dissipated. Your mission to guard the Dragon King Temple has come to an end.

I have received a favor from the Dragon King. If you are willing to continue guarding the temple for the Dragon King, I can give you some help."

My lips often opened and closed, and I seemed to want to say something but stopped myself several times.

He really wanted to question Shen Yuan about the reason, but after activating his half-dragon body, he couldn't even block a single sword strike from Shen Yuan.

Not killing him was considered as Shen Yuan letting him off the hook. If he were to question him, it might cause Shen Yuan's dissatisfaction.

Yu Changliu's cloudy eyes trembled slightly, and his look gradually lost its luster.

At this moment, the corner of his eye suddenly caught a glimpse of dazzling gold, and then his eyes were fixed on the fish tank.

The originally clear water in the fish tank had long been contaminated by Bai Xue's claws when washing, but it still could not conceal the noble aura of the golden carp as the son of a true dragon.

On the golden carp, Yu Changliu seemed to feel that his blood was being awakened, making him subconsciously want to worship it.

"Who is he?"

Yu Changliu pointed with his trembling right hand at the golden carp that was confronting the kitten, with a glimmer of hope in his eyes.

Shen Yuan looked at the golden carp and recalled the look on Yunmeng Dragon King's face when he handed the carp to him.

Although Yunmeng Dragon King only asked him to bring the carp out and did not ask him to do anything, Shen Yuan owed Yunmeng Dragon King a lot of favors during this trip to Canmeng.

In addition, Shen Yuan admired Yunmeng Dragon King's character of protecting the people.

Shen Yuan felt that he should leave something for Yunmeng Dragon King.

"He is the last descendant of Yunmeng Dragon Lord."

There was a slight pause in his speech, and Shen Yuan looked directly at the ignorant golden carp, his calm voice sounding as if he was stating an established fact.

"At the same time, he is also the future Dragon King of Dongting."
