Chapter 1547: Li Hongyou's Opportunity

When Li Hongyou heard Heavenly Emperor Zhen's question, she couldn't help but feel nervous. In her eyes, even a King Stage expert was a big shot, much less a Heavenly Emperor! This was a level she couldn't come into contact with.

"Yes, Great Ancestor. Senior Hongyou awakened a Pharmacist Jade Dragon resonance," Li Luo replied on her behalf. The way he saw it, Heavenly Emperor Zhen didn't seem to have an ulterior motive and had actually developed a positive interest in Li Hongyou.

This was a good thing.

Obtaining a Heavenly Emperor's recognition was a glorious opportunity for anyone.

Li Hongyou had greatly assisted Li Luo during his journey and was his capable aide. Thus, he hoped that she could walk further down the path of cultivation alongside him.

"Come, my little child." Heavenly Emperor Zhen then beckoned towards Li Hongyou slightly. The latter paused for a moment before taking a deep breath, stepping forward with an expression of awe.

Li Hongyou was a relatively tall individual, but when standing next to the immense Heavenly Emperor Zhen, she looked just like a little kid. Heavenly Emperor Zhen then stretched her hand out and lightly pressed on Li Hongyou's forehead. An instant later, green light surged out of her body, condensing into a slender dragon that was jade in color and exuded a strong medicinal fragrance.

"As expected, it is a Pharmacist Jade Dragon resonance."

Heavenly Emperor Zhen cheerfully smiled and nodded in approval.

"Great Ancestor, what does that mean?" Li Luo asked curiously.

A smile formed on Heavenly Emperor Zhen's exquisite face. "The Heavenly Dragons are the emperors of all dragons in the Dragon Race. They are the strongest and the most noble. However, do you know which kind is the rarest amongst them?"

Li Luo came to an understanding. "Is it the Pharmacist Jade Dragon?"

She nodded. "Indeed. Although their combat strength is not as exceptional as that of the other dragons, they hold a transcendent position amongst them. Sometimes, even I have to be polite when dealing with those old Pharmacist Jade Dragons."

Li Luo was in agreement. The Dragon Race had robust bodies and domineering physical prowess due to their bodies giving them an incomparable advantage in battle, and he was well aware of this. However, precisely because of this, if they were to be injured, it would take a long time to recover. Thus, they would have no choice but to reach out to the Pharmacist Jade Dragons for help. The Dragon Race had existed for many eons, so who knew just how many critically injured dragons had been healed by them.

As a result, the Pharmacist Jade Dragons were well respected by the Dragon Race. It could be said that the Pharmacist Jade Dragons were both the doctors and the alchemists. Although they were only capable of refining the Jade Dragon Pill, its mystical powers put it at the top of the alchemy world.

"It's hard for the Pharmacist Jade Dragons to reproduce and thus, it has been a long time since any new Pharmacist Jade Dragons have been born. The Dragon Race's Ten Thousand Dragons Festival, an event that is only held every three hundred years, will take place in a few years. This is our most important festival, where the Dragon Race makes offerings to the ancestors. The Pharmacist Jade Dragons are the hosts of this event. However, as the Pharmacist Jade Dragons haven't produced any new blood, the old ones that have already hosted the Ten Thousand Dragons Festival cannot do so again. Thus, the entire Dragon Race is worried because if the host is lacking, the festival cannot happen. The older Pharmacist Jade Dragons are literally so worried that their scales are falling off...

"They then thought of a solution. This was to find someone with a Pharmacist Jade Dragon resonance from the human race and cultivate the secret arts of the Pharmacist Jade Dragons. It would strengthen their bloodline and eventually cause their body to transform into an actual Pharmacist Jade Dragon. This way, it will be in line with the rules of hosting the Ten Thousand Dragons Festival. However, the Pharmacist Jade Dragon resonance is rare and seldom found. They've been searching for one frantically for a long time without any result. Who could have thought that I would find one the moment I came here? It seems I've come to the right place." Heavenly Emperor Zhen gave Li Hongyou a warm look.

Li Luo then heaved a sigh of relief. "So, Great Ancestor, you wish to take Senior Hongyou back to the Dragon Race and have her accept the legacy of the Pharmacist Jade Dragons?"

Heavenly Emperor Zhen nodded. "This little girl has my bloodline and has also awakened a Pharmacist Jade Dragon resonance. She definitely has potential and can be an appropriate successor."

"Senior Hongyou, this is a great opportunity for you!" Li Luo expressed his joy.

After Li Hongyou came to an understanding of the situation, she paused for a while before replying faintly, "But..."

She truly wasn't very interested in this! She didn't have any great ambitions; her only goal was to ensure that justice was sought for her deceased mother. She was very much the type of person who would just go with the flow, and because Li Luo had given her the opportunity to take revenge on Li Yuanzhen, she had chosen to follow him. She had long gotten used to accompanying Li Luo and supporting him. Other than that, there was no other meaning behind what she wanted. She only wanted to repay him for his kindness.

If not for Li Luo's protection, she would have been unable to set even a foot in the Bloodline of Heavenly Emperor Li.

"What? You're not willing to come?" Heavenly Emperor Zhen asked in shock. This was a rarely found but highly sought-after opportunity!

Li Luo, on the other hand, knew what she was thinking and allayed her concerns. "Senior Hongyou, your mother should not be interred in the mountainous wild outside. She should be buried in Li Yuanzhen's ancestral mausoleum. Furthermore, her position should be high up such that every year, whether its Li Yuanzhen or Li Hongque, both of them have to kneel before her grave and make offerings, repenting for their irresponsible actions and bullying. This is what you should be striving for."

Li Hongyou's beautiful eyes grew large upon hearing Li Luo's words. When she thought of that scene, she could feel her heart thumping despite her usually collected personality.

Heavenly Emperor Zhen shot a puzzled gaze towards her and quickly understood Li Hongyou's situation from Li Luo's brief words. She frowned before declaring, "Those worthless descendents didn't inherit the strength of their ancestor—they only learned from his frivolous and lecherous behavior"

This made Li Jun feel a little awkward since he had once again been maligned for no reason...

Heavenly Emperor Zhen coldly grunted before turning towards Li Hongyou. "Little girl, what Li Luo said is correct. If you want to help your mother vent, you have to go to the Pharmacist Jade Dragons. This way, you can travel much further down the path of cultivation in the future. When you've truly become strong, I will let you become the Dragon's Blood Lineage's Lineage Chief. At that point, Li Yuanzhen will be your subordinate. If you want him to kneel day and night before your mother's tomb, you can make him do so."

Li Luo was a little frightened by her words. As expected of a Heavenly Emperor; even the beautiful picture of hope they could paint far surpassed him. Though if Li Hongyou truly became the Lineage Chief of the Dragon's Blood Lineage, he couldn't imagine just how flummoxed Li Yuanzhen would be. Something like that would normally be a source of pride for a father... but alas, she had already severed all familial ties with him and it would end up with him being a laughing stock.

Li Jun coughed dryly. The Dragon's Blood Lineage was also the Mountain Ruling Lineage, yet that old man Li Tianji was going to be driven away in such an unclear and unceremonious manner? However, before he could say anything, Heavenly Emperor Zhen shot him an unkind gaze, causing him to smartly keep his mouth shut. After all, the Bloodline of Heavenly Emperor Li also originated from her, and she naturally had the right to do as she wished...

After Li Hongyou heard the honeyed words from Li Luo and Heavenly Emperor Zhen, she couldn't help but to flash a smile. Taking a deep breath, she obediently replied, "Great Ancestor, I'm willing!"

"Good, good, good!" Heavenly Emperor Zhen was extremely satisfied. She then took out yet another Ancestral Scale as a greeting gift for Li Hongyou. "You can rest assured as my descendent. When we return to the Dragon Race, no one will dare to bully you."

Li Luo believed her completely. As a Heavenly Emperor of the Dragon Race, especially being a Heavenly Dragon, she was definitely considered an esteemed ancestor. With her protection, Li Hongyou would live a comfortable and blessed life.

Now that Heavenly Emperor Zhen had resolved the issue with the Dragon Race, her mood had greatly improved as well. Her gaze then swivelled towards the bracelet on Li Luo's wrist.

"It looks like there's a Heavenly Wolf pup hiding there."
