Chapter 33
There are many places to explore in the burial ground.
The two tribesmen entered the burial ground and each began to look for their own opportunities.
Jitang knew that too much is as bad as too little, so he did not rush to look for opportunities. Instead, he picked some rare herbs nearby and planned to learn how to make medicine from his master when he went to Su Xuanzong.
She picked herbs while Su Jinzhou sat beside her and practiced.
Newly promoted cultivators have a period of benefits, during which they absorb the spiritual power of heaven and earth very quickly. The Cangxiao Secret Realm is a place with abundant spiritual power, which is just right for Su Jinzhou to practice.
Jitang had some research on herbs before, and she was able to protect the roots and rhizomes of herbs to the greatest extent possible when picking them. She was having a lot of fun picking them, and while digging, she found two green jade pendants.
“Senior Brother!”
"What's wrong?"
When Su Jinzhou looked closer, he saw Jitang holding two jade pendants in his hands.
She brushed off the dirt and showed the jade pendant to Su Jinzhou.
Su Jinzhou: "Was this dug out from next to the keel?"
Jitang: "Yeah, it's buried under the dragon bones, not deep."
They each took a study.
Ji Tang had lost all his nightmare aura, and could only rely on Su Jinzhou's spiritual power to check.
He pondered for a moment, "This seems to be a jade pendant that can sense each other."
He injected spiritual power into the two jade pendants, and both jade pendants emitted a faint green glow.
Ji Tang: "Sense each other? Then if we each take a piece, will we still be able to sense each other when we separate?"
She didn't notice Su Jinzhou's dazed look, and was still studying the jade pendant. "It's a pity that I can't inject nightmare energy into it now, otherwise we could still try it out."
Su Jinzhou collected his thoughts and said, "Put it away first and try again later."
Jitang agreed.
At the same time, Huanmang called his clansmen.
"Huanyue and I discovered that there is a middle state here. Can you try to enter it?"
The tribesmen tried one by one. Ji Tang and Su Jinzhou also tried to enter the whirlpool that appeared out of nowhere. As a result, except for those who had reached the late stage of Xindong cultivation or above, all others were blocked outside.
Huanyue thought thoughtfully, "It seems that there are some requirements for cultivation."
On Qingmang's side, there are only Huanmang, Huanyue and three tribesmen in the late stage of Xindong.
It seems that in order to enter this middle state, one must at least be in the late stage of Heartbeat. Others were disappointed.
Ji Tang was in a calm mood. She continued to pick herbs. Su Jinzhou found a place nearby and quickly closed his eyes to practice.
Huanyue suddenly saw these two amidst the disappointed expressions of the crowd, "..."
He was at a loss for words—he really didn't understand anything.
There was a great opportunity in front of them, but because of their limited cultivation, they could only watch but not enter. If it were someone else, they would be miserable, but they were as calm as ever.
In the end, the five people from Qingmang and the four people from Tuowei tribe were able to enter the realm within the realm.
Ji Tang took this time to start learning the upper techniques of Nightmare Flame in her sea of consciousness. As everything is difficult at the beginning, she gathered the nightmare energy again according to the techniques, and was not able to really get started until the evening.
Two days and one night later, Huanmang and his companions came out of the realm within the realm.
Ji Tang looked in the direction of the sound and saw that they all looked exhausted and in a very disheveled state, but their expressions were still happy, and it seemed that they had gained something from it.
After resting for one night at the burial site, everyone decided to return home.
When we came out of Cangxiao Realm, there were only a few clansmen resting outside, and most of them were still in the secret realm.
Ji Tang went to find Yu Jin first and told her about his gains in the secret realm.
Yu Jin was pleased: "Yulan and Jihuai have good intentions. You must practice these two internal skills well."
Ji Tang agreed obediently, then gestured to Su Jinzhou and showed the two jade pendants to Yu Jin. "Mother, we found these two jade pendants at the burial site. We only know that the jade pendants can sense each other, and we can't figure out anything else. Do you know their origins?"
The moment Yu Jin saw the jade pendant, he called out its name: "Weilongpei!"
There was still fine sand and dirt from the burial ground in the cracks of the jade pendant. She used the Water Purification Technique to rinse the jade pendant clean.
The two jade pendants are green in color, warm and translucent, with no cotton wool or impurities visible inside. Such high-quality jade is extremely rare and is a precious item no matter where it is placed.
Yu Jin explained: "The Weilong Pei was something the first Dragon Lord wore year-round."
Ji Tang was astonished. "So, the burial ground we're going to is the eternal resting place of the first Dragon Lord?"
Yu Jin shook his head calmly, "Not necessarily. When the first Dragon Lord was alive, he gave many personal treasures to his descendants. So much time has passed, and we can't trace how many Dragon Lords the jade pendant has passed through."
Ji Tang: "Mother, I found this jade pendant under the dragon bones in the burial ground. You know it, why don't you keep it."
Yu Jin smiled and touched Ji Tang's head, "This is your chance. You and it are destined to be together. Just keep it with you from now on."
She looked at Su Jinzhou, but asked Jitang, "Are you going to give the other Weilong Pendant to Jinzhou?"
Ji Tang nodded, "These jade pendants can sense each other. We each have one, so we can find each other quickly."
Yu Jin smiled and asked them to sit down.
"The reason why the Weilongpei is called this is because of the first two characters. 'Wei' means to lean on each other. The two jade pendants are indispensable, leaning on each other and supporting each other. 'Dragon' means that the two jade pendants were forged by the first Dragon Master. The materials were infused with dragon scales and dragon bones, and then they were nurtured in the Dragon Pond, the sacred land of the Dragon Clan, for 9981 days to obtain this pair of magical treasures."
When Ji Tang heard that the jade pendant contained the dragon scales and bones of the first dragon master, he suddenly felt that the jade pendant was extremely heavy, and he changed from holding it in one hand to holding it in both hands.
Yu Jin: "This was originally a jade pendant made by the first Dragon Lord for himself and the Dragon Queen. You must have injected spiritual energy into it to know that the jade pendants can sense each other, right? But this pair of jade pendants is not as simple as injecting spiritual energy."
"The first Dragon Lord forged this jade pendant as a token of their love for the Dragon Queen. Their bond was unwavering, supporting each other through thick and thin until an accident left the Dragon Queen severely injured and nearly dead. Only then did the Dragon Lord forge the Dragon Pendant anew."
She looked at the jade pendant. "Each of you should separate your primordial spirit power, spiritual energy, and dragon blood and fuse them into the jade pendant, leaving a mark of life. Then, you can exchange the jade pendants. That way, if one person is seriously injured and dying, the other will immediately sense it and be able to rush to them even if they are thousands of miles apart."
Ji Tang subconsciously clenched the jade pendant.
Having said that, if you are really thousands of miles apart, how is it possible to appear by each other's side in time?
Yu Jin seemed to recall something, and after a long while, he smiled at them and said, "You got it by chance. Now that there are no traces of life on the jade pendant, you can imprint it."
After coming out of the Dragon Lord's Cave, Ji Tang was thinking about the jade pendant all the way until Su Jinzhou walked back to the cave and she bumped into a hard back and came back to her senses.
Su Jinzhou: "What are you thinking about?"
Ji Tang: "Brother, let's exchange jade pendants. Although I hope I won't need them in my lifetime, they are still magical instruments that can generate mutual induction and are quite useful. Why not wear them as ornaments?"
Su Jinzhou: "That's good, but what about your nightmare?"
Ji Tang slapped her forehead and said, "I forgot about this!" She put away the jade pendant and said with a smile, "Then wait until I come back from training, and then we can exchange jade pendants."
A few days later, Jitang woke up Su Jinzhou outside the cave in the dark.
Su Jinzhou practiced without sleep for several days. Just when he was about to take a break, he was dragged to Longzhu Cave by Jitang again.
Night is when the dragons are most energetic.
"Stepmother!"
Yu Jin was sitting at the stone table eating breakfast. His eyes fell on Ji Tang, then turned to look at Su Jinzhou. He saw that his clothes were slightly messy, and it was obvious that he was dragged here by Ji Tang.
Thinking of this, the smile in his eyes became even wider.
Yu Jin: "Why are you here at this time?"
Jitang sat beside her and said, "Mom, I heard from my mother's letter that you can see a beautiful moon here."
Yu Jin slowly wiped the crumbs from his mouth, "Ji Huai is right."
Ji Tang asked cautiously, "Why does the barrier of Qingmang Yanyue Mountain cover the moon?"
Yu Jin smiled calmly: "Because the previous Dragon Lord loved the moon on the mountain the most."
Ji Tang: "The previous Dragon Lord..."
Isn’t that Huanmang’s father, Yu Jin’s husband?
Ji Tang thought he was being reckless and didn't know how to respond for a moment.
Yu Jin shook his head soothingly.
When the previous Dragon Lord Huanli was still alive, he loved the moon very much, which is why there is a moon pattern on the Qingmang Dragon Clan's uniforms.
Dragons hide during the day and come out at night, and the moon is the one they see most often.
Huanli and Yu Jin had a very good relationship and were once very sweet together. Huanli therefore said sweet words like "Yue is not as good as Jin".
This is also how the name Qingmang Yanyue Mountain came about. Originally, this place was called Qingmang Mountain, and Yanyue was added later by Huanli for Yu Jin.
Huanli died of illness. When he was terminally ill, he did not go to Cangxiao Realm like previous clan leaders, but chose to die where he lived. His dragon bones were scattered all over Qingmang Yanyue Mountain, and they could accompany Yu Jin every day.
When Yu Jin took over as the Dragon Lord, he suppressed his grief and led the Qingmang Dragon Clan to continue moving forward.
During that time, she felt sad every time she saw the moon, so she added a barrier to the mountain. Since then, the moon could no longer be seen on Qingmang Yanyue Mountain.
"Now that I think about it, it's been so long..." Yu Jin patted Ji Tang's shoulder, "Tang Tang, don't think too much. Since Ji Huai said that, it seems he has been wanting to persuade me for a long time."
Jitang held her arm and said, "My stepmother will definitely not forget this. Let's not look at the moon anymore."
Yu Jin: "I should be the one who moves on. Although there are many things in this world that we cannot control, there is also a lot of hope."
Ji Tang: "Are you talking about Huan Mang and Huan Yue?"
Yu Jin smiled and said, "And you and Jin Zhou."
Jitang leaned on Yu Jin's shoulder.
Su Jinzhou's eyes met Yu Jin's at this time, he pursed his lips and nodded.
Yu Jin smiled even more broadly - except for Ji Tang, each of these younger generations was more awkward than the other.
Yu Jin: "From now on, my cave won't be the only place where you can see the moon. The entire Qingmang Yanyue Mountain can see the moon."
As she waved her hand, the rich spiritual energy sank into the hidden barrier in the air from the irregular circular hollow roof above the cave. The next second, the bright moon hung high in the dark blue sky, and the moonlight spread over the green and vast Moon-covered Mountain.
Although Yu Jin was smiling, his eyes were filled with sadness.
Su Jinzhou saw that she closed her eyes tightly, and when she opened them again, there was only a faint smile left in her eyes.
"Mother, what's going on with the moon outside!" Huanmang walked in quickly, followed by the worried Huanyue.
After the two came in, they saw Yu Jin with a smile on her face and Ji Tang leaning on Yu Jin's shoulder, and suddenly they were speechless.
Yu Jin sighed secretly, wishing her two sons could be half as gentle as Ji Tang.
Therefore, the words "sweet and caring little cotton-padded jacket" will never appear in Huanmang and Huanyue's descriptions. If they heard them, one of them would shake off goosebumps while the other would blush in silence.
Yu Jin took Ji Tang's hand and walked out of the cave, "Let's go, let's go see the moon."
Huanmang, Huanyue and Su Jinzhou followed behind them.
As soon as they came out of the cave, the moonlight sprinkled all over them.
At this moment, many tribesmen were looking up at the bright moon in the sky.
Elder Luo was in tears and nodded gently to the other elders who were gathered there.
Yu Jin looked at the dragon bones gently shrouded in moonlight, as if she saw Huan Li walking towards her step by step.
Huanli was also wearing a black dragon lord robe, with a moon pattern that complemented the bright moon in the sky.
He raised his chin towards Yu Jin in a dignified manner and said with a smile, "Long time no see."
