Chapter 426 Panlong Jade Pendant
"I didn't know you were coming today. I'm sorry for not welcoming you in person. Please forgive me!"

Several distinguished Confucian guests came to Wuzun Hall. Wang Zhifan hurried out of the hall to greet them and quickly brought them into the inner hall to sit down.

"Your Excellency Wu Zun, we have finally come out here, so there is no need to talk about those mundane courtesies!
These people are all masters of painting in our Confucian school. Ever since they heard that you have mastered the secret art of painting, they have urged me to come to you. Don't let them go back disappointed!"

Mr. Qingfeng still had that dissolute temperament that was slightly inconsistent with his handsome appearance. With a smirk on his face, he introduced the people he brought with him to Wang Zhifan and explained the purpose of his visit.

"Okay! Okay! I will tell you everything I know!"

Wang Zhifan glanced at the five Confucian scholars brought by Mr. Qingfeng and found that although they were dressed similarly and all looked like elegant Confucian scholars, their ages ranged from teenagers to fifty years old. Their strengths also varied, ranging from acquired to super innate. It can be seen that Mr. Qingfeng was completely unconventional in making friends.

He then reached out to take the roll of pure white drawing paper handed to him by the well-prepared Qingfeng Lay Buddhist, and spread the drawing paper on the square table in the inner hall while asking the people around him:

"Since you are here for the secret art of painting, I will first draw your portraits on paper for reference. What do you think?"

When he turned around to ask, if someone carefully observed Wang Zhifan's movements, they would find that his eyes vaguely swept outside the inner hall, as if he was a little concerned about something and seemed to be in a hurry.

But the six Confucian scholars, including Mr. Qingfeng, did not pay attention to this small detail. They were all surprised that Wang Zhifan took on such a difficult project right at the beginning.

"Sir, there are six of us. It would take quite a lot of effort to draw six portraits on this piece of white paper, right?"

"There must be a backbone when painting. If you paint six people at a time, the layout will be biased."

"But that colorful drawing that Qingfeng Senior mentioned? But where are all the different colors of paint?"

……

For a moment, several painting masters started discussing it separately, and most of them thought that it was a bit arrogant for Wang Zhifan to do this at the beginning.

But before Wang Zhifan could explain, the leading monk Qingfeng waved his folding fan and made the decision on the spot:

"Seeing is believing! Your Excellency Wu Zun, please quickly draw a portrait, a portrait of six people or just one person! Just let them see the world!"

"Okay, please wait a moment."

Seeing that Mr. Qingfeng said so, Wang Zhifan did not waste any time. In fact, he was indeed in a hurry because someone outside the hall was about to arrive.

"Take a picture...take a picture!"

His painting process was extremely fast, or it could be said that he was not painting at all. Instead, he used special spells to capture and freeze a picture, and then reproduced the picture 100% realistically onto the drawing paper.

In an instant, before the five Confucian scholars brought by Mr. Qingfeng stopped their discussion, they saw an image with colors no different from those in the real world suddenly appear on the white paper in front of Wang Zhifan.

It showed the scene of several Confucian scholars discussing with each other. The realism far exceeded the mainstream freehand ink paintings in this world. It was completely a level of dimensionality reduction attack, which made the five Confucian scholars stare at the "photo" on the table in amazement and speechlessness.

"Haha! Who dares to say that I am talking nonsense? See for yourself whether Master Wu Zun's painting skills are unparalleled in the world!"

Mr. Qingfeng, who brought the five people here, also looked very proud for a moment. From his words, it can be heard that he brought these five Confucian scholars here just to let Wang Zhifan slap them in the face, and now he finally achieved his goal.

However, Wang Zhifan himself did not want to continue arguing with them about whether to paint or not. He only knew how to "take pictures" using the technique of keeping the image, and did not understand the art of painting at all. So after he finished painting, he bowed and said:
"Please stay here and look at the paintings for a while. There are guests visiting outside the hall. I will leave now."

After saying this, he greeted the monk Qingfeng, whom he was most familiar with, and hurried out of the inner hall.

In a blink of an eye, he arrived at the outer hall. As expected, Wang Zhifan just happened to see a tall and graceful figure slowly descending from high in the sky to the entrance of the hall. Who else could it be but the peerless and super-innate Dragon Girl with the Moon-Destroying Dragon Sword?
Obviously, compared to discussing painting skills that he didn't understand at all with a few grown men, Wang Zhifan was more willing to receive this distinguished guest. It was not that he valued women over friends, but the other person had come here with great effort, he couldn't just leave him alone, right?
"Mr. Long Dao, it feels like a long time since we last met! Please come in!"

Since there were already guests in the inner hall, Wang Zhifan took the Moon-Destroying Dragon Sword to the empty side hall this time. Moon-Destroying Dragon Sword also understood his arrangement. She had seen in the sky that a group of people arrived at the Wuzun Hall before her, so she didn't care.

As the two walked in the tall and spacious Wu Zun Hall, the Moon-Destroying Dragon Blade, who had an outstanding temperament and was completely different from her usual sharp and cold demeanor, began to talk about her purpose with a smile:
"Master Fanyun, I came here this time, first, to congratulate you on the opening of your Wuzun Hall to accept disciples, second, to report back to you for your help in Huangzhou, and third, to thank you for giving our clan the Azure Dragon True Spirit Painting Scroll..."

"Haha, these are just trivial matters. Lord Long Dao, don't take them to heart."

Wang Zhifan also responded with a smile after hearing this. He really had not thought about asking this dragon girl for anything in return. When he fought those demon lords in Huangzhou before, even if the dragon girl did not take action, he would have found an opportunity to try his hand. In other words, he helped the Moon-Destroying Dragon Sword just by chance and was not taking any extra risks.

"How can you say that? If you hadn't stopped those two demon lords for me in Huangzhou, I would have most likely died in their hands, not to mention the lucky breakthrough later."

Long Dao, who had gorgeous dragon horns on his forehead and a beautiful face, shook his head after hearing this. He then produced an icy green jade pendant with a coiled dragon pattern carved on it and gave it to Wang Zhifan.

"This is……"

Wang Zhifan looked at the jade pendant that felt warm in his hand. Just as he was about to ask the Dragon Girl what it was, he found that the corresponding item description appeared in front of him:
【Panlong Jade Pendant (Epic)】

[This is the unique dragon spirit jade pendant of the Mieyue clan. It is said that every member of the Mieyue clan who travels outside will wear a dragon spirit jade pendant close to their body, and the Panlong jade pendant is a very high-end type among them.]

[Nourishment: The Panlong Jade Pendant can subtly nourish your body and keep you in the best condition. This effect will be particularly obvious when you are injured. ]

[Spiritual Charm: The Panlong Jade Pendant contains a trace of the spiritual charm of the Azure Dragon's true spirit. This spiritual charm can give your practice a bonus effect. The closer you are to the elementary level in a certain practice, the stronger this bonus effect will be.]

[God's Chosen One: You are God's favorite. This favor will not be apparent on a daily basis, but once you face a crucial turning point, it is very likely to play a role in turning the tide.]

"Oh my god... an epic item? Could this be the Moon-Destroying Dragon Blade's personal jade pendant?"

For a moment, Wang Zhifan was a little surprised. He had to suspect that there was a reason why this jade pendant, which looked cold, had a temperature. When Wang Zhifan raised his eyes to look at the dragon girl in front of him, she explained with a smile:
“Master Fanyun, this jade pendant is a treasure I obtained from my clan when I was very young. It has many magical effects.

At that time in the illusion, I would have perished together with that demon king, but it helped me enter a state of enlightenment at the critical moment of life and death, allowing me to finally break through successfully...

This time I will use it as a thank you gift for your help, and also as a gift to congratulate you on the establishment of the Martial Honor Hall. I hope you will not despise it."

"..."

Wang Zhifan was speechless after hearing what the dragon girl said. He quickly stuffed the jade pendant into her hand and said:
"Sister Long Dao, your gift is too valuable. My help to you is insignificant compared to it! So I can't accept it!
In fact, I am very happy that you can come to my Wu Zun Palace! Gifts don’t matter, we don’t have to be so formal! "

His expression was very sincere, without a trace of greed, because he really felt that he had not helped the dragon girl that much. He just helped her a little bit by the way, and he felt completely unworthy of accepting such a precious gift.

Moreover, he did not particularly need this epic item. Now, he had a lot of bonus effects on him. Even if he accepted the jade pendant, it would not mean that he would be able to soar to the sky.

Of course, having it is definitely better than having nothing, but the attraction is not so great that it is irreplaceable, so he can choose to let it go.

But what surprised Wang Zhifan was that when Mieyue Longdao saw that he valued the jade pendant so much, a smile suddenly appeared on her impeccable face, and she immediately explained with a smile:
"You are joking, Taoist priest. Although this Panlong jade pendant is precious, there is more than one in my clan. Taoist priest, you can accept it with confidence. Just think of it as a gift from me on behalf of my clan to establish a good relationship with Wu Zun Temple."

After saying this, the woman also spread out her other slender hand in front of Wang Zhifan, revealing another identical Panlong jade pendant inside.

"These... Epic-level ones are all mass-produced?"

Wang Zhifan was almost stunned when he saw this. It's not that he had never seen epic items before. There were several legends that were higher than epic items, but this was the first time he saw an identical epic item that was suspected to be mass-produced in a dungeon. It could be said that it opened his eyes.

"Cough cough..."

The Dragon Girl in front of him had made it so clear, so Wang Zhifan didn't need to worry about it. He immediately coughed twice to ease his embarrassment, and said to the Moon-Destroying Dragon Blade:

"So that's how it is... If that's the case, then I will respectfully obey your command!"

As the saying goes, if you don't take advantage of something, you are a bastard. Without the self-restrictions of her own ideas, Wang Zhifan immediately accepted the gift of the Moon-Destroying Dragon Sword and chose the one that the other party had originally given her.

Then he took the opportunity to ask the Dragon Girl how to wear the dragon jade pendant correctly. The Dragon Girl told him that there was no fixed way to wear it.

You can hang it on a thin string and wear it around your neck as a pendant, hang it around your waist as an ornament, or put it close to your body in your pocket. In short, as long as the jade pendant is on your body, it depends on your personal preference.

"Not bad, not bad! This jade pendant is exactly what I want! I will keep it well!"

In line with the principle of not showing off one's wealth, Wang Zhifan put the Panlong Jade Pendant into his clothes pocket on the spot. Otherwise, if he met other players at some point, once they saw the Panlong Jade Pendant and triggered the text description, it would most likely cause him trouble.

Seeing that Wang Zhifan cherished the gift he gave him so much, the tall and handsome Mie Yue Long Dao suddenly showed a hint of joy in his eyes.

She thought that she had completed an important task and it was time to move on to the next critical task, so she said goodbye to Wang Zhifan.

She said that she had other urgent matters to attend to and that she would come to practice with him after she finished her business, such as competing with him or something.

Although the woman did not reveal what she was going to do, Wang Zhifan had an idea.

Because since the last time he saw the Moon-Destroying Dragon Sword break out of the illusion, he discovered that she was missing something that was supposed to be there, and that was a weapon!

"Sister Long Dao, are you going to find someone to make a weapon for you?"

Wang Zhifan, who had already collected the Panlong jade pendant, glanced at the dragon girl's waist. When he first saw this girl, she was equipped with a pair of cool blood-red double swords, but now there was nothing there, as if she was completely unarmed.

Seeing that Wang Zhifan had seen through his plan, Moon-Destroying Dragon Blade could not help but nodded and replied:

"The Taoist priest is indeed very discerning. My previous weapons were completely destroyed in the battle with the Demon Lord. I didn't find any particularly suitable ones after returning to my clan, so I plan to go to various major cities to check out the situation."

"Hmm... what kind of weapons do you want? Still want to use a knife? Maybe I can help you. You see, I also use a knife, and I have some stock and connections in this area."

Wang Zhifan immediately suggested that he was ready to give something in return to this young and beautiful dragon girl.

"Yes, I need a knife, preferably a pair of knives. The most important requirement is that it can withstand my current strength. Otherwise, the knife will break in any battle, and I might as well fight with bare hands."

When Mieyue Longdao said this, her expression was a little helpless. It can be inferred that she tested some weapons after she broke through her realm and returned to the clan. However, the super-innate power of the True Spirit Way is extraordinary. The double swords made by the craftsmen in the clan could not meet her basic requirements, otherwise she would not have thought of looking for them outside.

"Double Blades... Wait here, I'll be back soon."

Wang Zhifan couldn't help but frown after hearing this. He definitely didn't have any high-quality dual swords at the moment, and it would be a waste of time to search for them directly in his personal space. However, he didn't only have stocks in his personal space. He remembered that there were all kinds of mass-produced weapons in the Dark Tower.

So he immediately left the side hall, pretending to go to a secret armory or something like that to check, but actually went into the basement of the Martial Honor Hall and took out the Black Tower to study the weapon drop list inside.

"There are several types of dual blades in the rare-level weapons... but this is definitely not appropriate... Why are there no dual blade types in the excellent-level list? This is a bummer! Why don't I get two identical excellent blades to make a pair?"

Faced with difficulties, Wang Zhifan immediately came up with the idea of ​​taking shortcuts. After all, the items in the black tower were all mass-produced goods, and he could definitely afford them.
