From the Carp that Brings Children to the Celestial Officials

Chapter 449 Yang Qinglian's Fortuitous Encounter
The immense power of the entire cave descended upon Yang Qinglian.

It helps her purify her spiritual energy, stabilize her magical power, and enhance her comprehension.

As the last wisp of spiritual energy was absorbed into her body, her magical power finally reached the point of overflowing.

Her body seemed to have swelled up slightly, and she even looked a bit bloated at the moment.

However, she still kept You Ming's teachings in mind and channeled the magic power towards her mouth and nose.

This step is actually very dangerous because all seven orifices are located in the head. If the magic power goes astray, it can easily impact the brain.

At best, they become mentally impaired; at worst, they lose their lives.

Fortunately, the layers of power within the cave empowered Yang Qinglian, greatly reducing the risk of her going astray.

"boom."

With a slight tremor, a pale blue magical power gushed out from Yang Qinglian's mouth and nose, like two clear streams.

She sprayed out her magic power more than ten feet, and then she opened her mouth and inhaled, drawing the magic power back into her body.

From this point on, magical power can emerge from the nasal passages, allowing it to communicate with the outside world. This marks the formal entry into the "opening of the senses" level.

The following time was spent replenishing magical power, opening up other acupoints and gradually improving one's cultivation.

When all seven orifices are opened, magical power can continuously enter and exit through the seven orifices, and a bit of spiritual light can be cultivated in the spiritual platform, thus stepping into the realm of [Mysterious Light].

When spiritual light and magical power combine, the mysterious light can be either hard or soft, near or far, and can change at will.

It can also use the mysterious light to fly away.

Only when one reaches this stage can one truly be considered to have some of the demeanor of a cultivator.

Yang Qinglian slowly withdrew her cultivation. After her magical power emanated from her body, she felt her connection with heaven and earth becoming increasingly intimate.

It's like a nearsighted person suddenly taking off their glasses and finding everything in the world incredibly clear and transparent.

"Brother Youming, I've broken through!"

Yang Qinglian cheered. She had been cultivating for more than five years and had finally entered a new realm. Her excitement was naturally overflowing.

"congratulations."

You Ming wore a faint smile, and he was happy for Yang Qinglian.

Although the resources poured into Yang Qinglian were enough for several cultivators to cultivate, Yang Qinglian herself was indeed quite diligent.

"I promised you before that if one day you were able to 'enlighten', I would give you a great opportunity."

You Ming looked at Yang Qinglian. Initially, he trained Yang Qinglian only because she was the reincarnation of Qinglian Jun, and he wanted to repay that karma.

However, after spending more than ten years with Yang Qinglian, he began to treat her almost like his own daughter.

"really?"

Yang Qinglian's face immediately lit up with joy, but then she became somewhat timid.

She knew that You Ming had already devoted a great deal of energy to her cultivation. If this opportunity were given to someone else, it would probably be able to help You Ming even more.

"Let's go, this opportunity has been waiting for you for a long time."

You Ming patted Yang Qinglian on the head, and the next moment, the surrounding space distorted, and the two figures disappeared into the distance.

The next moment, it appeared in an underground cold pool.

Yang Qinglian felt the river water flowing from all directions. She was startled and was about to use her magic to resist, but the next moment, an invisible force enveloped her, keeping the water and cold air out.

Seeing You Ming standing behind her, she finally felt relieved. "Where is this place?"

Yang Qinglian looked around with some curiosity. The water was sparkling, and some bright pearls were embedded in the stone walls, shining like stars, making it look exceptionally beautiful.

At the bottom, however, it was all white, and she couldn't see it clearly because it was obscured by the pool water.

Just as she was trying to open her eyes wide to see more clearly, the water in the pool suddenly began to churn violently, with ripples spreading out in layers, making the entire cold pool seem to boil.

Then she heard a long roar, a sound she had never heard before. It seemed to come from an incredibly large creature, and the sound vibrated continuously, making her body tremble.

Then, in the next instant, the white shadow she had seen at the bottom of the pool began to rise.

As the shadow rose, the water in the pool churned even more violently, with countless whirlpools appearing in the icy water. The turbulent currents made Yang Qinglian's breathing become rapid.

"His."

A massive figure, nearly fifty feet long, suddenly burst forth from the water. Its body was undulating and pure white, its scales seemingly covered by a layer of silver light, each piece shimmering like a star fallen into its scales.

It has a pair of wings on its back that look somewhat immature, but when they are just slightly opened, they seem to cover the entire cold pool.

dragon!
A white dragon!
Although Yang Qinglian had never seen a real dragon, in some ancient books and legends, dragons were a mysterious and powerful being.

Although the dragon in front of her was somewhat strange, it did not diminish Yang Qinglian's fear.

A fine line appeared between the dragon's eyebrows, resembling a vertical pupil, while its horns grew in a winding, complex pattern, like a crown of thorns.

The white dragon's eyes were azure, yet seemed to gleam with a hint of gold, exuding a chilling aura.

The moment Yang Qinglian met the other person's gaze, she felt as if she had fallen into an ice cave, as if her soul was about to be frozen.

"Hachihachi".

However, in the next instant, the white dragon's body suddenly shrank, and then it pounced forward.

It circled around Youming like a lively dog, its rough tongue licking Youming's hands.

"No regrets, three years have passed and you still haven't stepped into the [Form Refinement] stage. It seems you've become somewhat lax."

You Ming reached out and grabbed the back of the white dragon's neck, speaking with some dissatisfaction.

The little white dragon immediately wilted, its tail swaying back and forth, gently wrapping around You Ming's arm, not daring to exert any force.

The so-called "Refining Form" is the fourth level of the "Path of Demonic Beasts" route, which roughly corresponds to the "Yin Spirit" level of a cultivator.

Once the bloodline is refined, one will continuously temper one's physical form.

Upon entering the [Form Refinement] stage, the body will gradually transcend the constraints of flesh and blood, transforming into a substance that exists between flesh and blood and energy.

Not only can it change freely, but it also possesses greater combat power.

"Ah-ah."

The little white dragon seemed to want to argue a bit. He was not even thirty years old, which would make him a young dragon among the dragons.

It's already quite impressive for a young dragon to have the strength of "Blood Return" (the third realm of the Demon Beast Path). Other dragons of the same age might still be playing in the mud.

“This is no excuse for you to be lazy. From today onwards, you need to work even harder. For this, I’ve found you a role model.”

“This is your sister Qinglian. She doesn’t have your talent and is much younger than you, but she cultivates diligently every day. You should learn from your sister Qinglian.”

You Ming pointed to Yang Qinglian beside him and spoke to the little white dragon.
