Chapter 49: Treasures of the Dragon Palace
Li Daoxuan widened his eyes and stared at the scene blankly.
He looked at the bowl of steaming water, then at the boiling river, and was surprised to find that as the bowl of water continued to evaporate, the water level of the river was slowly dropping.
Countless water mists rushed up into the sky, and soon the white clouds turned into dark clouds. The wind was howling between heaven and earth, and a storm was about to come.
Li Daoxuan looked at the smiling old woman with shock in his pupils.
"You... who are you?"
With a wave of his hand, he burned the river and boiled the sea, turning it into water vapor all over the sky. This kind of magical power was something Li Daoxuan had never seen in his life. In comparison, the scene where his master summoned dozens of thunders with a wave of his hand was slightly inferior.
The old woman did not answer his question, but smiled faintly and said, "Originally, Taoism has the art of praying for rain, so there is no need to go through so much trouble. But some time ago, the imprisoned old dragon under the Wanshou Palace went crazy for some reason, which caused a severe drought here."
"The usual method of praying for rain is no longer effective. We need to burn the river to break the old dragon's magical power and make it rain."
After that, she looked at Li Daoxuan, nodded and smiled: "You are very good."
Li Daoxuan was stunned, not knowing what she meant.
Was it because he had caused rain in the orchard earlier, or because he had not complained about fetching and boiling water for her?
Just as Li Daoxuan was about to ask a question, the old woman flicked her sleeves and said with a smile: "The water is boiling, my thirst has been quenched, this water is for you to drink."
Boom!
With a burst of thunder, heavy rain poured down. It was raining heavily in Yuzhang City. When Li Daoxuan looked up again, he found that the old woman had disappeared.
Only half a bowl of clear water was left there. It looked a bit sticky, like transparent jelly, and smelled faintly of a strange fragrance.
“Could this be…”
Li Daoxuan quickly opened his umbrella to block the rain.
The wedding dress fluttered, and Chen Ziyu appeared beside him. As soon as she appeared, her eyes were attracted by the half bowl of water, and her eyes were slightly rippled.
Li Daoxuan picked up the half bowl of water and stared at it carefully.
"Sister Yu, this should be water essence. Master once said that water essence is the essence of water. Only one drop can be extracted from 100,000 drops of water. It is the treasure of the Dragon Palace and has the effect of improving cultivation and nourishing the soul."
It was mentioned in "The Story of Liu Yi" that the scene that the scholar Liu Yi saw when he visited the King of Dongting Lake was that the pillars were made of water jade, the bricks were made of green jade, the bed was made of coral, and the curtains were made of crystal.
Without hesitation, Li Daoxuan took a few sips.
It tastes refreshing and cool when you drink it, without any boiling heat at all. The cool feeling spreads through the throat and throughout the body, making you feel extremely comfortable.
The next moment, the white gas in Li Daoxuan's lower dantian suddenly increased like a spring, more than ten times more than before.
These are his essence. After breaking through the Huangting, the essence is endless, but it is not so exaggerated.
Li Daoxuan guessed that the kidneys belonged to water, and with the nourishment of water essence, a large amount of kidney water essence was born in his body, which was just right for refining essence into qi and improving magic power!
He closed his eyes, sat cross-legged in meditation, and began to refine the surging essence and transform it into strands of pure magic power.
Under the rain, Chen Ziyu held an oil-paper umbrella to shield him from the wind and rain, and looked at him quietly.
After an unknown amount of time, Li Daoxuan slowly opened his eyes.
His eyes became brighter, his expression was restrained, his demeanor was outstanding, and even his skin seemed to become smoother. His face was as handsome as a jade, and if he had not been wearing a Taoist robe, he would have looked like a handsome young man.
There was a hint of joy in his eyes. His cultivation had improved by three whole years!
The lake of mana in his lower dantian expanded a little again. Not only that, he felt that his spirit had also become stronger, and his perception of the surroundings had significantly improved.
It is indeed a treasure that can nourish the soul!
The master once said that strengthening the spirit and soul is crucial to cultivation. Anything that can strengthen the spirit and soul is a priceless treasure. Even the Dragon Tiger Golden Pill that can improve cultivation is far inferior to it.
There was still half of the water essence left, but Li Daoxuan did not drink it anymore. Instead, he handed it to Chen Ziyu and said with a smile : "Sister Yu, drink it quickly."
Chen Ziyu was stunned, and her pupils as cold as ice and snow began to ripple. She slightly side-glanced and looked at Li Daoxuan.
This is not a candied haws, but a very rare water essence. The great master just refined a river and only got this little bit, but he is willing to share it with me?
Li Daoxuan looked sincere and said, "Sister Yu, if it weren't for you, I would have lost my life long ago. Although you are a ghost, in my heart, you are stronger than countless people."
After a pause, he smiled and said, "Besides, we are friends. Since we are friends, we should share good things."
friend……
Chen Ziyu looked at the rain falling from the sky and listened to the sound of raindrops hitting the oil-paper umbrella. Her hair fluttered and her eyes were slightly dazed.
"Sister Yu?"
Li Daoxuan waved his palm in front of her eyes and urged: "Sister Yu, drink it quickly."
She turned her head and gently opened her red lips.
The remaining liquid automatically flew into her mouth, and then a slight blush appeared on her pale face, as if she was drunk.
The blood dripped from the wedding dress and gathered into two words on the ground.
"I sleep……"
After saying that, she hid in the umbrella and disappeared.
Crash!
Without the protection of the oil-paper umbrella, the rain instantly fell on Li Daoxuan, soaking him like a drowned chicken.
Li Daoxuan shook his head and laughed, and said to the oil-paper umbrella: "Sister Yu, this is too unkind."
Although he was soaked, he was happy for Sister Yu from the bottom of his heart. She was certainly not drunk, but she had gained a lot of benefits and needed to sleep to digest it.
Otherwise, as a red-clothed ghost, why would he need to sleep?
It seems that this water spirit is of great help to the soul, but it’s a pity that there is only so much. I don’t know who that old woman is and how she has such great magical powers?
In fact, Li Daoxuan had a vague guess in his mind, but it was not yet completely confirmed.
The heavy rain lasted for two hours and finally stopped.
Li Daoxuan was walking on the street and saw happy smiles on people's faces. Many children were jumping and cheering on the street. As a result, they accidentally got their clothes wet and were pulled by their ears by their mothers.
This long-awaited heavy rain brought new vitality to Yuzhang City.
Some people on the street were kneeling towards the Qingyi Temple, thanking the Qingyi Goddess. It seemed that many people had gone to the Qingyi Temple to pray for rain during this period.
Infected by this atmosphere, Li Daoxuan also smiled.
However, the next moment, a feeling of palpitations suddenly emerged. He turned his head sharply and looked behind him, his eyes full of vigilance.
He was being targeted!
That sense of crisis was as if he was being stared at by some terrifying beast, and it sent chills down his spine.
Li Daoxuan believed in his own feelings, especially since he had just refined the water essence and his perception had been enhanced.
He turned around and walked forward calmly, using his teleportation skills to pass through many alleys, but that thorny feeling was always there.
Can't get rid of it!
Li Daoxuan showed a ruthless look and quietly pinched a Five Thunder Talisman in his hand.
Although fighting is prohibited in Yuzhang City, Li Daoxuan can't care less as his life is threatened.
Since I can't get rid of him, I'll just kill him!
