From the Carp that Brings Children to the Celestial Officials

Chapter 474 Unexpected Visitor
Apart from participating in the "Autumn Hunt of Zhenshan" more than 20 years ago, You Ming has had no contact with the King of Zhenshan.

After all, someone of their stature wouldn't bother with a nobody like you.

You Ming is also a homebody and doesn't try to curry favor with anyone.

"However, given the character of the King of Zhenshan, even if he wants something from me, he probably won't let me suffer any losses."

Although You Ming had only dealt with the other party once, he made a fortune from it, especially from the [Five Sources Water Platform], which boosted You Ming's aptitude to an extremely high level.

Otherwise, even if he had cheat codes, his path of cultivation would have been filled with more obstacles.

You Ming put away the talisman. The banquet was a month later, so there was no rush.

He returned to the cave, and this time he didn't stay away for too long, so there were basically no major changes in Yuanling Mountain.

The only thing worth mentioning is the progress of Yang Qinglian and the White Dragon's cultivation.

Since Yang Qinglian and the White Dragon signed the [Same Origin Contract], Yang Qinglian has unleashed an unprecedented passion for cultivation.

You Ming stood on a branch of the Azure Divine Tree, gazing at Yang Qinglian, who was cultivating in the cave in the distance.

A faint, clear light swirled around him, his breath and magical power perfectly integrated. Abundant spiritual energy from all around poured into his body through his seven orifices without any stagnation or reversal.

The little white dragon awakened the bloodline of the ancient Yinglong, and its talent was absolutely top-notch. Even though there would be some loss after sharing it with Yang Qinglian, for Yang Qinglian, the speed of its cultivation was like riding a rocket.

Compared to her previous snail-paced cultivation speed, cultivation has now become something she's become addicted to.

She now spends the rest of her time cultivating or... cultivating for the little white dragon, except for four hours of rest each day.

The White Dragon was incredibly lazy. Because of the [Same Origin Contract], he allowed Yang Qinglian's consciousness to occupy his body every day and then cultivate for him for six hours.

Because You Ming promised him that as long as he cultivated for six hours, he could enter the [Cave Heaven] to cultivate once.

Because of his exceptional talent, coupled with the various enhancements from the [Cave Abode], his bloodline was automatically purified, and spiritual energy poured into his body, almost like God was feeding him.

This feeling made him very happy.

Although Yang Qinglian spends most of her time cultivating for the little white dragon, her progress in cultivation is still quite remarkable.

In just one month, she has already opened her [ear aperture] again, and it is estimated that she will be able to reach the peak of [apprehension] within a year.

However, You Ming also noticed something strange about Yang Qinglian.

It seems that after signing the "Same Origin Contract" with the White Dragon, Yang Qinglian's fate was slightly altered.

Although You Ming was a disciple of the Taiwei Dao Master, unfortunately, the Taiwei Dao Master did not pass on any proper cultivation methods of the Taiwei lineage to him, and he had not even entered the door of the great path of destiny.

He only vaguely sensed that Yang Qinglian's soul seemed to have gained a sense of grandeur and magnificence.

He didn't know what this change meant.

……

"Ok?"

"The entire Black-Armored Frog clan has come to seek refuge?"

Recently, the River God of Fengshui has stepped down from his post and is preparing to go to Bibo Lake to assume the role of Water Lord. Youming spent more than ten days cultivating his mind and refining his spirit in the cave.

But today, You Ming suddenly heard Wu Mo report that the entire Xuanjia Frog clan had come to seek refuge and was now waiting by the Yangjiao River.

He was utterly astonished when he heard the news.

He naturally knew that the Xuanjia Frog was a low-level spirit beast. However, although its bloodline grade was not high, it did not mean that its power was weak.

In fact, the Xuanjia Frog clan is exceptionally prolific, typically producing a litter of a dozen or more. Given the lifespan of spirit beasts, they can likely have hundreds of offspring in their lifetime. This results in a large and highly united Xuanjia Frog clan, who truly unite in times of trouble.

Previously, the Xuanjia Frog population had settled in Bibo Lake, so why would they suddenly want to join Youming?

However, in any case, this is a significant matter that he must handle personally.

"Wu Mo, quickly invite the Frog King to take a seat in the Dharma Realm..."

"Fine, I'll go myself."

You Ming originally intended for the leader of the Xuanjia Frogs to come up and pay his respects, but in the end, he decided to personally go to the banks of the Yangjiao River to welcome this tribe that had come to seek refuge.

"Quack quack quack".

"We hope that Lord Sizheng will take us in."

"The prosperity or decline of my clan depends entirely on this action..."

"We've heard that Lord Sizheng is kind and benevolent, and he'll surely take us in, quack quack..."

Along the banks of the Yangjiao River, there were green figures lying one after another; a rough estimate puts their number at least at least a thousand.

From their appearance, they are bright green frogs.

Some are only the size of a cat or dog, while others are nearly the size of a calf.

The carapace is dark green, with natural textures covering its surface, resembling a hard armor.

Since You Ming hadn't arrived yet, these Xuanjia frogs were actually croaking and communicating with each other.

You Ming stood in the shadows and listened for a while, but these ordinary black-armored frogs didn't seem to be particularly intelligent. Even though they were communicating, their words were incoherent and confusing.

On the contrary, the largest black-armored frogs standing at the front seemed very uneasy and did not speak to each other.

"Gentlemen, you have come from afar. I have failed to greet you properly."

You Ming's figure slowly emerged in the distant void, and his voice followed.

The sound grew louder as it approached, and after a few breaths, he flew to the front of the crowd.

He didn't appear suddenly, which is obviously not the way to welcome guests. Instead, he flew from a distance to give others some time to react.

"The Xuanjia Frog clan pays homage to the Divine Lord."

Upon seeing You Ming appear, the leading Xuanjia Frog King quickly lay down on the ground and loudly greeted him.

Then the frogs behind it also chirped, and for a moment, the air was filled with the croaking of frogs.

"Guests from afar, please follow me into the Yin City Dharma Realm and have a cup of tea."

A wisp of Youming's magic power flew out and gently lifted the bodies of the group of Xuanjia frogs.

Although he accepted the courtesy, he did not put on an overly arrogant act.

The group of Xuanjia Frogs were deeply moved to see You Ming personally come out to greet them.

After all, You Ming was a seventh-rank deity and a great cultivator who had undergone tribulation, while the strongest frog king of their Xuanjia Frog clan was only at the Refinement of Form level, roughly equivalent to a Yin God among cultivators.

I had long heard that the Lord of Yuanling Mountain was kind and benevolent, unlike other gods who liked to put on airs. Seeing him today, I can confirm that he truly lives up to his reputation.
