Chapter 2244 of the main text

After receiving the blessings of hundreds of golden lotuses from the Venerable Dragon Palace, Hua Zhu rose and bowed to her master in gratitude, then smiled and thanked the golden lotuses in the palace for their blessings.

Hua Zhu said she felt extremely honored to be the first to attend the banquet at the Zunyanlong Temple as a VIP, and she was also given special benefits and care, which was really great.

She expressed her gratitude for the blessings and preferential treatment bestowed upon her by the host, and said that she and her team members would strive for good rankings in the Year of the Dragon competition, aiming for an excellent performance similar to their performance at the New Year's Eve buffet. She also wished the other guest teams the best of luck in the Year of the Dragon competition. She concluded by saying that everyone should work hard and participate fully in the Year of the Dragon competition at the Holy Reunion Temple to make it a highly competitive, high-standard, and large-scale event, which would surely be a great success.

The chosen Year of the Dragon amulet was quickly produced in front of the Flying Dragon Flower Hall using multiple enchanting special effects. The divine agate material used was taken from the best divine material used in the hall's decorations. A small amount was used, and the material was automatically replenished after it was used up. The original material was used to make the Year of the Dragon amulet, making the special gifts of the Zunyan Dragon Hall unique and special. It can be imitated, but it does not have the same commemorative value as the original and is very rare.

One of the Guanze Jincai Jielian went to retrieve the magical, floating Dragon Year Blessing Talisman, while another Guanze Jincai Jielian took the Dragon Year Blessing Talisman and placed it in the gift box of the Zunyan Dragon Palace.

The other three, Guan Zejin Caijielian, each carried a gift box containing a dragon-themed lucky charm, while the other two each carried a New Year's bouquet made automatically from divine flowers and plants taken from the Flying Dragon Flower Palace. The three Guan Zejin Caijielian then walked together to the Dragon Pattern Private Room to present these gifts to the distinguished guest, Huazhu.

The fact that all five officials of the Holy Return Divine Palace were mobilized to participate in the Golden Lotus Ceremony is already a very high honor. The gift of the Dragon Year Blessing Plaque from the Venerable Banquet Dragon Hall further demonstrates its respect, value, and importance.

Hua Zhu stood and accepted the gift, expressing her gratitude to Zunyan Longdian for the divine gift and to everyone for their kindness. She believed that this Year of the Dragon amulet would bring her good fortune and luck, and that she and her team members would have a smooth and successful year in the competition.

The five golden lotus guardians returned to their original positions and continued to serve in the front area of ​​the Dragon Palace, awaiting further instructions.

Holding the gift box, Hua Zhu once again expressed her gratitude to her host for the generous gift and the high honor bestowed upon her. She appeared very formal and dignified. This Year of the Dragon auspicious plaque would serve as an important souvenir of the banquet, and she hoped to achieve great success and a high ranking in the Year of the Dragon competition.

The hostess invited the VIP to return to her seat. The dragon-themed lucky charm was already a gift for the VIP and could be freely admired and viewed. Two New Year's bouquets had automatically been placed on the countertops of the cabinets at the back of the dragon-patterned private room, each with an ornate dragon-patterned vase, serving as decoration. The two bouquets in the dragon-patterned vases displayed appropriate dynamic changes, perfectly complementing the decorations of the dragon-patterned private room, creating a refined and bright aesthetic effect.

After Hua Zhu sat down, she opened the gift box and took out the Year of the Dragon amulet. Looking at the amulet made of Dragon Fire Red Agate, the front was engraved with the pattern of dragons soaring across the four seas and the characters in regular script. In the lower right corner of the phrase "dragons soaring across the four seas," there was the imperial emblem of the six characters specially made by the Zunyan Dragon Palace. The dragon pattern on the amulet and the divine red agate material were very elegant and delicate, making it a very nice and beautiful gift.

The warm and smooth effect of the dragon fire radiance of such a divine material can be preserved for a long time. Although it has the dazzling effect of dragon pattern fire, the gemstone material used is still cool and smooth. It is just that there are illusion effects inside the gemstone, but the material itself does not have any temperature change.

On the back of this Year of the Dragon lucky charm is a scratch-off illusion, waiting to be scratched for a prize. It cannot be used now; it will have to wait until it becomes available.

The dragon-themed lucky charms given to the seven VIP guests all share the same basic design: a rectangular jade pendant. The front of each charm features vertically carved text and patterns, while the back displays an illusionary scratch-off area. The dragon patterns along the rims on both sides are similar. The illusionary scratch-off area on the back is only for display and will be implemented later. In the dragon-themed lucky charm scratch-off activity, some charms offer substantial prizes, while others offer less valuable prizes, but still serve their purpose.

Hua Zhu said she really liked this Year of the Dragon lucky charm. It was beautiful, exquisitely crafted, and made of beautiful gemstones. The more she looked at it, the better it seemed; it perfectly suited her taste. It was a unique, gorgeous, and precious gift. The chosen phrase, "Dragon Soaring Across the Four Seas," had a wonderful meaning, and she believed the lucky charm also carried good fortune. Perhaps the prize money for the competition—one billion or five hundred million yuan—would be hers, and her dream of winning first or second prize might very well come true.

I explained that the Dragon Year Blessing Pendants are special souvenirs made by the Zunyan Dragon Palace, and are quite rare. I thought they were good and would be worth preserving. All the Dragon Year Blessing Pendants will remain within the grounds of the Sheng Hui Divine Palace for now. In the future, guests can take their own Dragon Year Blessing Pendants back to their own cosmic home as souvenirs or decorative items. The New Year's bouquets made from some divine flowers and plants from the Flying Dragon Flower Palace can last for a period of time, but not indefinitely. There's no need to take them away. Once the divine energy contained in the divine flowers and plants weakens and they wither, they will be discarded and recycled. Divine flowers and plants are difficult to preserve in good condition for long periods after leaving the earth. These Dragon Year Blessing Pendants, made from high-grade sacred materials, can be preserved for a long time and have collectible value and significance.

Hua Zhu nodded and said okay. In the future, she would use the best sacred materials in her universe to make a precious ornament holder, place this Year of the Dragon amulet on the display shelf, and put it there securely. She would also add some other decorations to decorate and combine it. She thought it would be very well designed.

I suggested adding some supplementary activities to the Dragon Year competition at the Holy Return Temple, and continuing to increase competition funds. This would be both supplementary and beneficial. Let's see what activities we can arrange.

Hua Zhu said that would be great, for example, guessing lantern riddles. She was confident she could guess more riddles correctly, even brain teasers. She strongly supported and enjoyed the traditional activity of guessing lantern riddles. As for competitions involving making dishes and desserts, that was something she excelled at. If she participated in such activities and earned more financial rewards based on her abilities, she felt she could do it and was confident she would receive a good reward.
