Journey to the West: Treasure Vase of the Great Dao-Chapter 518 - 289: Seeing the World

At the same time, she also understood why there was an aura on Lu Xun's body that captivated her, that thin Dragon Qi lingering in his bloodline after eight hundred years of influence, I was the most precious treasure to snake-like creatures like her.

If she could obtain it, she naturally could transform from a serpent to a Jiao, greatly advancing her cultivation and freeing her from the shackles of her race.

However, looking at the unfathomable Old Taoist before her, Lady Qing had no regrets in her heart. If she had truly coveted the Dragon Qi, she might have turned into a dead snake by now, let alone considering that behind them stood an even more powerful master.

Suddenly, a message flashed through her mind. Besides the Tea Saint, Lu Yu, who else could it be from the Lu family on Mountain Luoxia? Lady Qing felt very fortunate about her choice. This was a real big shot. Compared to him, the River God was like fireflies to the bright moon, and she, a Little Demon, didn't even have a chance to catch his eye.

Ruyi True Immortal watched the change in Lady Qing's expression and knew she had guessed his origin. He said with a smile, "It seems you are not someone ignorant."

"You jest, Senior. The name of the Tea Saint resonates through the three realms. Although I am but a minor demon, I too have received his kindness; how could I not know?" Lady Qing sighed gently, feeling that her years of cultivation were like a joke compared to such a person; but that was the way of the world. Some could easily achieve what others struggled mightily to do. These individuals were known as geniuses, born with a brilliance that made countless others look up to them.

"That's good. I see you have been stuck in this Realm for a long time. Would you like to ascend to a higher level?" Ruyi True Immortal said with a strange smile on his face.

Lady Qing was overjoyed. She wanted the Dragon Qi from Lu Xun's body because she had been stuck in her current Realm for a long time, unable to see the path forward, and thus sought to rely on external forces.

"Please enlighten me, Senior. This Little Demon would be eternally grateful," Lady Qing said with a deep bow, her attitude very respectful.

However, Ruyi True Immortal stopped her from bowing and said, "The issue with your current Realm lies in the mixed nature of your bloodline. After all, for our Demon Race, the bloodline often determines the height of one's cultivation. Unless a highly skilled individual tailors a Cultivation Technique for you. However, ask yourself whether you can handle such an opportunity and its associated karma."

Lady Qing's face immediately showed a bitter smile. Ruyi True Immortal's words were harsh but true. With her capabilities and strength, how could someone significant be willing to tailor a Cultivation Technique for her?

"However, you are a serpent with remnants of the Dragon Clan in your bloodline; hence, as long as you can cultivate with the help of Dragon Qi, this could eventually stimulate the faint Evil Dragon's Blood within you and help evolve your bloodline to break free from its shackles."

But after hearing Ruyi True Immortal's words, Lady Qing couldn't feel happy. It all circled back to the same point. Dragon Qi was extremely rare, and with its dominant nature during strong periods, how could it be possible to cultivate with it? Merely getting close would probably render her immobile. Young Hidden Dragons were exceptionally good at hiding and thus very hard to detect.

To date, Lady Qing had only discovered Lu Xun, who had terrifying big shots backing him. Where was she to find others imbued with Dragon Qi?

"Cultivating with the help of Dragon Qi aims to stimulate the bloodlines with Dragon Qi, causing the weak Dragon Blood in your body to gradually grow stronger, not necessarily requiring dual cultivation," Ruyi True Immortal softly said.

"Lu Xun carries a heavy burden of revitalizing his nation, and his journey will naturally be fraught with numerous difficulties. I have been secretly supporting him by the command of our master; however, as an Old Taoist, I cannot always be by the side of the young man. It would be good if you could protect Lu Xun closely—firstly, to cultivate with the help of Dragon Qi, and secondly, to run errands for me. What do you think?"

Lady Qing stared blankly at Ruyi True Immortal, taking a long moment to understand his intentions—it turned out he just wanted to be lazy.

After careful consideration, she realized this arrangement wasn't harmful to her, except for the hassle of accompanying Lu Xun to Mountain Luoxia. Moreover, finding Lu Xun to be quite attractive also pleased her.

"Since it is a request from you, Senior, how dare this Little Demon refuse?" Lady Qing spoke softly.

Ruyi True Immortal's face broke into a delighted smile. Lady Qing being so cooperative made him very pleased; with her taking his place, he could finally enjoy himself in the human world, having not indulged in such leisure for a long time.

"Since that's the case, come forward." After saying this, he pulled out a Pill from his body, flashing with golden light.

"As you have the body of a demon, prolonged proximity to the human race could harm them. This Golden Core can suppress the Demon Aura within you, preventing it from damaging the human race."

Lady Qing received the Golden Core, her face showing a skeptical expression. Whether the Pill indeed had the effects Ruyi True Immortal claimed was unknown; if it could control her, wouldn't she be like a lamb walking into a tiger's den? However, upon reflection, she felt like meat on a chopping board with no choice. This was the disparity in strength.

Thus, with a determined heart, she swallowed the Golden Core. A warm flow swept through her body, making her very comfortable. Her Mana, which had not increased for a long time, showed slight growth. More valuable was the fact that the pill seemed to purify the Mana within her, making the irregularities caused by her initial improper cultivation significantly improve.
