Even though he later learned her identity from his master, it was still difficult for Yan Qing to call her "Grandmaster" when he thought about her attitude, which was even crazier than the attack of the demonic body, and the serious crimes she committed in the past.
But even so, Yan Qing still stood beside Jiang Yan without hesitation, blocking Bai Lu.
If it weren't for Brother Jiang and I who were to block this level of opponent, who would? Moreover, she had asked me to block that sword strike before, and I hadn't returned it to her even after I had mastered it!
Even though Ren and Jingliu were determined to tear Dan Feng into pieces immediately, they couldn't help but feel endless emotion when they saw the five young men and women fearlessly protecting the Little Dragon Girl. They forced themselves to temporarily restrain their overflowing murderous intent and cast all their attention on Dan Heng, who had a look of despair on his face, giving him a last chance and mercy.
"Whether you believe it or not, neither Dan Heng nor Dan Feng has anything to do with this foreigner's magical dragon transformation technique. I came here only to teach the new Dragon Lord how to repair the Jianmu Seal, and I have no other intentions."
Faced with this huge blame, and even the knot in his heart that had always been in his heart, the usually taciturn Dan Heng now spoke in an extremely sincere tone, and he wanted to pierce his finger with a spear on the spot and draw a capital "miserable" to prove himself.
Along the way, he had already tried his best to trace back all the memories in the dream, but no matter what the memories were, they had nothing to do with the barbarian he met for the second time.
Of course, no matter how you think about it, there is no possible connection. Dan Feng died seven hundred years ago. No matter how smart he was, he couldn't have left any tricks up his sleeve seven hundred years later!
However simple and convincing this principle may be, it's a shame to say that Dan Feng is the only one in the entire universe who can use the Dragon Transformation Technique to transform an alien race. Even Dan Heng himself can't find any other possibility.
In desperation, Dan Heng could only make a weak defense, and then put on an attitude of "Believe it or not, it's up to you whether you want to kill me or cut me up", and started to give up completely.
He didn't believe that the guy who had been chasing him to the ends of the earth would give up just because of this sentence.
And another old friend from the previous life was obviously not interested in what he said at all!
As expected, Jingliu and Ren, who were completely trapped by the Dragon Transformation Technique, did not accept this explanation at all:
"Are these your only last words?" The ice blade shook lightly, and a round moon shone above the crystal clear sword body.
"It seems that your retribution is about to come. Are you ready to die again?" The shattered sword was unsheathed, and the thick blood energy gradually wrapped around it, quickly gluing the broken pieces of the sword blade into a whole.
The speed with which the entire investigation and trial process was completed with just one sentence simply astonished the young boys and girls.
What happened? Why did the clash begin? Who pressed the skip button? Which side should we take?
Everyone looked at Jing Yuan collectively with a confused look on their faces.
However, Jing Yuan didn't say anything. Instead, his face had a hint of... gloating? He wished that all these people would be beaten to death.
This kind of reaction immediately left everyone confused, especially Yan Qing and the other two who had rushed over and had not yet understood the situation. They felt that everything that happened here was full of absurdity.
How could the wise and powerful General Jing Yuan have such an expression? Could it be that we took the wrong path and didn't enter the Scaled Abyss Realm, but instead entered some illusionary realm?
Just when a fatal fight was about to break out, a few weak words miraculously broke the deadlock:
"Excuse me, is the secret method of transforming into a dragon that you mentioned the power of Xiao Jiang? Isn't that the effect of my conditioning of his body?"
Oops, we're being harassed by the Immortal Boat people! : Chapter 57 Dynamic Balance
After hearing these words that contained so much information, even those who were about to start the fight instantly turned their heads.
Although they acknowledged that Bai Lu was the genuine Dragon Lord, some people here only believed, or were only willing to believe, that she was a continuation of another old friend.
After all, Dan Heng, who inherited Dan Feng's power, memory and appearance, was right in front of him. No one would have thought that Bai Lu would inherit anything from that guy besides Long Zun's power.
"What did you say?"
"what?"
Only Jing Yuan, who seemed to have thought of something, covered his forehead with a helpless look.
Yes, this medicine-carrying dragon girl herself was a product of the Dragon Transformation Technique. So what was so surprising about her possessing fragments of this knowledge? Having never been properly nurtured by the Vajra Clan, how could she know that this Dragon Transformation Technique was taboo?
Sure enough, Bai Lu walked between the three of them and defended Dan Heng, who had helped her awaken her power.
"Please don't misunderstand Mr. Dan Heng. Many years ago, Xiao Jiang's sister Tingyun asked me to help regulate Xiao Jiang's body. So I have been using medicine, meridian stimulation, and body-building techniques to improve his physical fitness. The Danding Division strictly controls the medicinal materials. I took a lot of scales, blood, and other materials from my own body. So it's not surprising that he now has some traces of my power on him."
Bai Lu had a very good impression of Dan Heng, who helped her awaken her power, and of course she didn't want him to be implicated for no reason.
But Bai Lu wasn't stupid. If she admitted to General Jing Yuan that she had been experimenting on Xiao Jiang to grow taller, not only would her medical license be revoked, she'd likely be imprisoned forever. So, without hesitation, Bai Lu attributed the results of her random experiments to "body building techniques," using the Chiming Clan's usual excuse: "memories from before her transformation."
Past-life lovers, past-life hobbies, past-life memories, past-life bad habits... Bai Lu had heard these kinds of excuses countless times during her consultations. If someone didn't bring up past lives a few times to vent their guilt, how could they be considered a qualified member of the Vajra Clan? Humph! Anyway, this "growth and happiness" plan did indeed originate primarily from vague inspiration brought about by dreams, so it wasn't exactly a lie.
This "special excuse" was indeed very effective and stunned everyone in an instant.
Unfortunately, although Dan Heng was whitewashed, he still replaced Dan Feng and received the collective murderous stares from his old friends:
——Look at what you did in the past, you bastard!
Bai Lu's powerful boomerang nearly drew blood from Dan Heng. At that moment, he finally felt what his old friends had felt back then.
What body-building technique? It should be dragon-building technique!
Do you know what this thing is used for? How dare you use it?
Even if you don't know, how dare we give the scales and blood of the Chiming tribe to the barbarians!
However, he couldn't say a word. After all, Dan Feng, who acted on his own, had done the same things seven hundred years ago.
What was even more perfectly replicated was that in the face of Dan Heng's accusations, Bai Lu had no intention of accepting them at all.
Hey! We are comrades, why are you questioning me?
Not to mention the scales and blood, I also used a lot of Chiming saliva, otherwise I would have been in jail for medical malpractice. Would I tell you that?
Bai Lu looked at the not-so-smart Mr. Dan Heng with a bad temper and retorted:
"Are you a healer or am I? Listen carefully, there's nothing that can't be cured with medicine—the more complicated the disease, the more we need to rely on unconventional prescriptions!"
"Xiao Jiang was so skinny at the time that a gust of wind could have blown him over. How could ordinary herbs and bodybuilding techniques have helped? So I decided to nourish him first and then train him. Recovery is more important than anything else. Just tell me if he's in good health now!"
Good, that’s great!
After hearing Bai Lu's words, Jing Yuan, Jing Liu, and Ren's gazes were like cold knives, stabbing in and out of Dan Heng repeatedly:
You prescribe medicine so casually but you didn't even create an evil dragon. You are much smarter than a certain smart person we know!
And seeing Jiang Yan jumping around in full vigor without even a single dragon scale on his body, Dan Heng was devastated countless times more.
In my previous life, I sacrificed so much and gave so much, but the final result was not as good as taking random medicine to replenish my body?
Is this scientific? Is this fair?
Dan Heng, completely defeated, came to Jiang Yan with a look of despair and said:
"Mr. Jiang, could you allow me to examine your body? The results are very important to us."
Jiang Yan had never expected the medicine Bai Lu had been giving him since childhood to be so potent, even containing herself. Considering that it had already infused him with Yun Yin's power, it might even be the main ingredient. Was this really okay?
Jiang Yan looked at Jing Yuan, and after receiving a nod of approval, he readily agreed.
After all, he worried that he might one day suddenly transform into an egg in public, or that his bloodline might suddenly activate, shrinking him from a young man into a small dragon-man in the blink of an eye. Having this former Dragon Lord examine him was crucial, both for overcoming the current crisis and eliminating potential risks.
After receiving his consent, Dan Heng transformed his Qi into a needle, pierced Jiang Yan's finger, and drew blood to taste carefully. He then led Jiang Yan in performing several Cloud Chanting techniques, inducing him to activate the power within him. He then fell into a long period of autism. It was not until Ren and Jingliu, whose patience had run out, came over with unfriendly expressions that Dan Heng revealed his discovery, as if he had seen a ghost:
In the universe, it is not difficult to create some cells and tissues that can achieve immortality. However, for most flesh and blood creatures in the galaxy, this kind of unstable "immortality" that is randomly pieced together often represents another meaning - "cancer".
The cells grow disorderly, become immortal, and eventually turn themselves into unconscious monsters. This is the end of most people of abundance.
The power of the Chiming Clan stems from the immense force of "immortality" coursing through their veins, and this is no exception. The so-called "Drinking Moon Rebellion" was caused by the powerful vitality and growth granted to the Immortal Clan by "abundance." Combined with the infinitely circulating "immortal" cells, the previously stable cycle was completely disrupted by the power of abundance, creating the infinitely growing evil dragon.
This situation wasn't caused by Dan Heng's fondness for the power of abundance, but rather by the fact that, lacking the powerful vitality bestowed upon them by "abundance," the short-lived species would be even more devastated once injected with the cells of the Vajra Clan. A small dose would be fine, briefly helping the host's body to quickly repair itself before being eliminated by the host's immune cells. However, a large dose would inevitably lead to the host's tissues being rapidly drained of their lifespan in an endless cycle, turning them into a dried-up form, practically the equivalent of poison.
However, what Dan Heng could not understand at all was that Bai Lu actually succeeded!
According to Dan Heng's investigation, this guy is now like a hybrid of a Xianzhou person and a Chiming person. The slowly released powerful vitality combined with the constantly rotating "immortal" power allows the other party to grow rapidly like a short-lived species, without even worrying about aging.
Although the tilted balance would eventually tip over if things continued this way, and the opponent would likely become the next evil dragon in a few decades, the flame of "preservation" perfectly slowed the opponent's release of vitality and could burn away all excess vitality, turning the tilted balance into a completely controllable toy.
"As long as there are no fatal injuries, it seems... there will be no problem." Dan Heng said the conclusion with great pain.
This conclusion made several old friends look at each other in bewilderment. Even Ren, who would start a fight within three sentences every time they met, was defeated by such an outrageous solution.
It turns out that all we lacked at the beginning were luck and the means to save our lives?
How could this be?
How can you do this???
Oops, I'm being harassed by the Immortal Boat people! : Chapter 58 Things Are Different and People Are Changed
After a long time, the Five Heroes of Yunshang had to accept the fact before them. After exchanging glances, they temporarily put aside their murderous intent and walked aside to hold a small meeting.
Although the "previous generation Lord Yinyue once again displayed the magical method of transforming into a dragon" made the Chiming clan ecstatic, it was indeed a bit of a punishment for the Ten Kings.
The magical dragon transformation method that caused the Yinyue Rebellion and reduced the already increasingly thin population of the Chiming Clan by more than 5,000 people has long been registered in the Ten Kings Bureau and even Yuque and Xuling, becoming a famous evil method.
The replication of the magic method of dragon transformation with such fanfare would have to be reported to Yuque and Xuling to arrest the person, not to mention the former Dragon Lord, even the current Dragon Lord would have to be reported to the Ten Kings Division.
Even though Dan Heng was sent to prison for the second time for such a big thing, several old friends honestly felt that he only had it to blame. But they couldn't let Bai Lu spend the rest of her life in the underworld with this habitual criminal. They had to think of a way to help her get rid of the crime.
Fortunately, although Bai Lu messed around, she used short-lived seeds without the blessing of abundance as "materials", but accidentally avoided the biggest taboo in the Dragon Transformation Method, and also gave everyone the best excuse:
The power of the Vajra clan comes from "immortality" rather than "abundance". Since they did not use the blessing of abundance, it is the Vajra clan's own business. No matter how long the Ten Kings' arms are, they cannot interfere in the internal affairs of the Vajra clan!
As for the fact that Bailu was in some sense a creature of abundance... I chose to ignore it. After all, who would dare to openly accuse Luofu's Dragon Lord of being a creature of abundance? Was he trying to start a civil war?
Of course, the above are just the reasons on the surface.
After all, the Chiming tribe and the Xianzhou people have been allied for four thousand years, and they are no longer separate. Who could bear to watch the Chiming tribe gradually disappear? As long as this method does not lead to the same kind of misconduct as Danfeng, creating a large number of evil creatures to embarrass Emperor Gong under his nose, the Xianzhou people will simply label this matter as "Chiming secret technique."
After all, Yaoqing's foxmen still frequently invoke the Blessing of Plenty in battle, entering a frenzy. As long as they don't overdo it and enter the "Moon Madness" state and die, who cares if this move is taboo or not? After all, what's an esoteric technique without some risk?
The four of them quickly agreed on a division of labor. Dan Heng would tentatively acknowledge his past-life connection and write letters to the other Dragon Lords, truthfully recounting the entire incident and garnering their support. Meanwhile, Jing Yuan would lobby Cloud Cavalry Marshal Hua and the other Cloud Cavalry generals, seeking to have this new version of the Dragon Transformation Method recognized as a "Secret Art of the Vidyara" before the Ten Kings Division took action. In short, the two of them worked on a two-pronged approach, striving to quickly and thoroughly clear the matter and prevent Bai Lu from taking the blame.
As for the other two, they also took the initiative to assume important responsibilities:
Blade: I haven’t been chasing Dan Heng recently.
Jingliu: I won’t cause any trouble for Jingyuan recently.
This reasonable promise moved Danheng and Jingyuan to tears. How could they expect more?
The young men and women in the distance were completely confused as they saw these enemies who had just wanted to tear each other into pieces suddenly become like close friends, whispering to each other endlessly with no sense of distance at all.
Unable to figure out the situation, they gathered together and started mumbling:
"Xiao Jiang, I really didn't mean it! I really didn't want to hurt you, really!" Holding Jiang Yan's hand tightly, Bai Lu almost cried in her voice.
Bai Lu started to panic after being questioned by Dan Heng as if facing a formidable enemy.
Although her "Growing Up Happy" plan is outrageous, it actually complies with the medical practice standards of Luofu Danding Division.
After all, no matter how much one disliked it, the fact that the bodies of the Xianzhou people were once blessed by abundance was unavoidable. No Xianzhou medical technique could avoid the study of the power of abundance and genetic recombination, and treading on the edge of taboos was the norm. The pragmatic Xianzhou people didn't dwell on this.
Take the Luofu Dandingsi's medical guidebook "Essential Medicines and Dosages" for example. In the "Bloodline Section", "Metamorphosis Section" and "Demonic Yin Section", there are countless recipes for pills that use the body materials of the Chiming Clan as medicine. Bai Lu has been influenced by it so much that she has never taken it seriously.
But now thinking about it carefully, Bai Lu discovered a huge blind spot - Dan Shu, who wrote this manual, is a secret disciple of the King of Medicine!
The textbook I used to study medicine was actually a poisonous one?
I actually used the secret method of the King of Medicine to help Xiao Jiang regulate his body for so many years?
Thinking of this, Bai Lu was completely stunned, fearing that Jiang Yan would grow branches all over the tree and show it to her.
"It's okay, it's okay. Look, didn't Mr. Danheng tell me that I'm fine?" Jiang Yan said calmly, stroking the pair of dragon horns that were as white as dew and warm jade.
He was not worried about his own health, because at this moment, he was very suspicious that the whole thing was the work of his ghost fire vixen sister.
How could there be so many coincidences in front of such a terrifying guy who treats people's hearts as building blocks and plays with them at will?
Most likely, she felt that I, a short-lived creature, was not enough to eat, and had been plotting this ever since she brought me to the Immortal Boat. Otherwise, even if it was just a coincidence, would she have led me directly to obtain the power of protection after leaving the Immortal Boat?
Even without the amber flame, under this guy's arrangement, there would be destructive power. What's the danger in using things like the Sun's Fire to prevent himself from becoming an evil dragon?
However, Jiang Yan really couldn't say anything about these shady dealings. He could only pick up Bai Lu and hold her in his arms, rubbing her dragon horns with his chin to calm her down.
Several other friends also advised:
"It doesn't matter. Why would we arrest alchemists for medical research? If they have the ability, they can stop taking pills in the future!" The carefree Su Shang didn't take the situation seriously at all.
For the Cloud Cavalry, stimulating some power of abundance is really not a big deal. When going to war, who doesn't carry some resurrection pills to stimulate self-healing ability and Diao'ao powder to stimulate the body's explosive power?
In Yaoqing, it is common to see fox warriors taking elixirs, going berserk, and then using the elixirs to recuperate and repair their bodies. If anyone could be arrested for prescribing medicine to recuperate others, then the Danding Division would probably have to move to the Netherworld Prison in the future.
"Don't worry, is there anyone healthier than Xiao Jiang? He will definitely be fine." Looking at Jiang Yan, who is even taller than her brother, Gui Naifen complained.
"Yes, if your elixir formula is really some magic way to transform into a dragon, shouldn't Xiao Jiang be as tall as you, Bailu, now?" After hearing Gui Naifen's words, Yan Qing nodded repeatedly in agreement.
Yan Qing still feels resentful that Jiang Yan surpassed him in height in just a few years. If it were a short-lived species that grew fast, he'd accept it. But an immortal species growing this fast? Impossible! Absolutely impossible!
"Yeah! How is it possible! They must be trying to scare me! There is no such thing as a magic method to turn into a dragon?" Upon hearing the height issue that she cared about the most, Bai Lu jumped out of Jiang Yan's arms, complaining with her tail standing up in anger.
Bai Lu felt angry even thinking about how she had worked so hard for so many years and ended up doing nothing for Xiao Jiang.
A magic trick to transform into a dragon? Am I not a dragon? Why don't you transform yourself? This isn't a good idea at all!
