Chapter 429 The Junior Only Wants a Little Bit! (4K)
"This is Huo Zhang, leader of the Red Pupil Tribe, and also one of the candidates for the position of Clan Leader of the Candle Dragon Clan."
Jin Yun Immortal Fairy introduced the strong members of the Candle Dragon Clan who had appeared.
Lu Changsheng sized up the group of strong members of the Candle Dragon Clan; the leader Huo Zhang was clearly an expert at the level of a Great Accomplishment Immortal Emperor and thus eligible to vie for the position of Clan Leader.
All other Candle Dragon Clan members who had achieved Great Accomplishment had cultivated to at least the level of a Daluo Golden Immortal as a starting point.
There were also young Candle Dragon Clan members whose cultivation had not yet reached the Golden Immortal Realm.
"Please come in, everyone."
The people of the Red Pupil Tribe led the two groups from Guanghan Holy Land and Tai Hua Holy Land to the abode of the Candle Dragon Clan.
The Red Pupil Tribe had several thousand members, each of whom had the potential to become a Daluo Golden Immortal.
However, the Candle Dragon Clan's growth rate was too slow; without enough Heavenly Materials and Earthly Treasures, it would take them one hundred thousand years to become Earth Immortals, several hundred thousand years to become Heavenly Immortals, millions of years to become Daluo Golden Immortals, and ten million years to become Immortal Emperors. Amidst such lengthy epochs, there was also the risk of untimely death, coupled with the difficulty of reproduction and limited numbers, which is why the Candle Dragon Clan has always struggled to expand.
"The Clan Leader selection will begin in ten days' time. For the moment, you will reside here. We, the Candle Dragon Clan, will not let you come here in vain and will make sure to treat you well."
Huo Zhang specifically arranged several stone halls for the visitors to stay in.
As the guards of Tai Hua Holy Land and Guanghan Holy Land had arrived, many members of the Red Pupil Tribe came curiously to observe these human cultivators.
It had been millions of years since the last Clan Leader selection, and the vast majority of the tribe's members had never seen human strongmen.
One of the young girls of the Candle Dragon Clan, with white hair and red pupils, looked curiously over Lu Changsheng and his companions.
"Princess, that human cultivator looks so handsome, and his cultivation seems to be high. Maybe he is one of the strong Immortal Emperors among the human cultivators," one said.
"Mhm," agreed another.
Dozens of Candle Dragon Clan females gossiped in hushed tones, with the girl at their center, who was encircled by moonlike companions, fixing her gaze on Lu Changsheng, eyes unblinking, full of curiosity.
"This is my daughter, Huo Wen."
Huo Zhang provided a simple introduction for the Candle Dragon Clan girl who had approached.
The Candle Dragon Clan girl took the initiative to step forward and asked Lu Changsheng, "What is your name?"
"Lu Changsheng."
"I think you're very good-looking."
Huo Wen was candid and straightforward.
Xia Ningxue's brows furrowed slightly.
Lu Changsheng was handsome and talented, and it was difficult for him not to be popular.
Moreover, the Candle Dragon Clan was extremely sensitive to nature's spiritual energy, and those with an Innate Taoist Body had a considerable affinity with the Clan.
Huo Zhang laughed heartily, "My daughter is bold in love and hate, please don't take it amiss."
Renzhen Immortal Emperor asked, "The Candle Dragon Clan member who attacked our Tai Hua Holy Maiden in alliance with the Blood Sea Palace that year came from the Silver Pupil Tribe. We suspect the Silver Pupil Tribe colluded with the Blood Sea Palace. They might not compete for the Clan Leader position by normal means."
"Rest assured, if the Blood Sea Palace dares to intervene in our Candle Dragon Clan's selection for Clan Leader, the other tribes will not stand idly by."
Huo Zhang went back to prepare for the competition for Clan Leader, instructing his people to prepare Heavenly Materials and Earthly Treasures as hospitality for the guests who had traveled from afar.
Xia Ningxue was, after all, the Holy Maiden of Guanghan and stayed in an area with people from Guanghan Holy Land, though she came over to where Lu Changsheng was from time to time.
The Candle Dragon Clan did not disappoint the visitors, serving up a dish of divine fruits that Lu Changsheng had never seen before.
Only cultivators above the Daluo Golden Immortal level could receive a divine fruit, and Immortal Emperors were entitled to three fruits.
This showed which even the Candle Dragon Clan could not offer many of such divine fruits.
"This is the 'Nether Dragon Fruit,' only found in Zhong Mountain of the Nether Sea, a tier-fifteen Heavenly Material and Earthly Treasure. Consuming this fruit nourishes and strengthens the soul, and it is extremely precious."
Lin Qinghan identified the divine fruit of the Candle Dragon Clan.
The Candle Dragon Clan, in order to entertain them, had brought out ninety-nine Nether Dragon Fruits, which was quite generous to the visitors.
A divine fruit that nourishes the soul?
This treasure was of great use to Lu Changsheng.
Lu Changsheng's physical body had been tempered to almost compare with a mid-grade Emperor Soldier, but his soul was somewhat lacking, not as strong as his body. Experience more tales on empire
If he could strengthen his soul, he would be unharmed when dealing with certain secret techniques.
But the Nether Dragon Fruit was only a tier-fifteen Heavenly Material and Earthly Treasure, and the soul of an Immortal Emperor was already strong; even if he consumed three Nether Dragon Fruits, the enhancement to the soul would not be significant.
So, Lu Changsheng gave all three Nether Dragon Fruits to his disciple, Ning Qianqian.
He planned to use the system to generate even higher-level Heavenly Materials and Earthly Treasures.
With the Nether Dragon Fruit, Ning Qianqian could also enhance the strength of her soul.
The effect of the Nether Dragon Fruit was even greater for cultivators of the Dragon Clan, which is why the Candle Dragon Clan occupied the deep regions of the Nether Sea's Zhong Mountain island, as it was rich in Nether Dragon Fruits.
"Are all these for me to eat?"
Ning Qianqian hadn't expected such good fortune to come so suddenly; she took the three Nether Dragon Fruits and swallowed them one after another.
After consuming four Nether Dragon Fruits and letting out a satisfied belch, Ning Qianqian began to refine the spiritual energy of the Nether Dragon Fruits to strengthen her soul.
The people of Tai Hua Holy Land were astonished.
Was Lu Changsheng so casually giving away three precious divine fruits to his disciple? And did that disciple just gulp down four Nether Dragon Fruits in one go?
