Honghuang: I, Huanglong, refine the heavens and do not join the Chan sect

Chapter 81: Ling Xi is accepted as a disciple and gains the luck of a mermaid
Thousands of years later.

The Mermaid Queen was the first to wake up from her deep enlightenment and bowed deeply to Huang Long.

During this thousand years of enlightenment, the Mermaid Queen completely absorbed the gains brought by the merits gained this time.

Although his cultivation has not yet recovered to its peak, he has reached the early stage of Daluo Jinxian. His condition is many times better than before.

If there wasn't this cup of Enlightenment Tea, even if the Mermaid Queen could digest what she had gained this time, it would take at least three to five thousand years, and she might not be able to digest it so thoroughly.

So her gesture was a heartfelt expression of gratitude, without any reluctance.

Afterwards, the Mermaid Queen joined the Dragon King of the West Sea in the discussion with Huang Long. More than five hundred years passed before Ling Xi woke up from her enlightenment.

A powerful aura emanated from her body. With just one enlightenment, her cultivation level leapt across several small realms and reached the early stage of Taiyi Golden Immortal.

Such a scene attracted the attention of the Dragon King of the West Sea and Huang Long. They couldn't help but stop discussing and looked at Ling Xi curiously.

Although to them, the Golden Immortal is just an insignificant little character.

However, Huang Long and the others were still surprised that Ling Xi was able to improve her cultivation from the early stage of Golden Immortal to the early stage of Taiyi Golden Immortal through one enlightenment.

Such understanding, looking at the entire prehistoric world, can be considered as superior aptitude.

Although they had not seen each other for more than 20,000 years, Huang Long still had some impression of Ling Xi.

It was because of chance that he saved Lingxi and Quanzhu that he became connected with the mermaids and obtained the Netherworld Lightless Umbrella from the Mermaid Queen.

If there was no Netherworld Lightless Umbrella, Huang Long would not be able to comprehend the Great Way of the Undead. Even if Huang Long could eventually reach Youdu Mountain, he would not be able to reach the top of the mountain, enter the Netherworld Palace, and obtain the inheritance of the Nine Nether Ghost Mother.

Strictly speaking, Huang Long still owed the mermaids a debt of varying degrees.

What puzzled Huang Long was that Lingxi's appearance had not changed at all after more than 20,000 years, except that she had grown a little taller.

My height grew from a little over one meter to about one meter and two meters.

Although Bai Mi's appearance has not changed much over the years, that was Bai Mi's appearance after he transformed, and it has basically been finalized.

But Lingxi has not yet transformed into her true form and is still in the appearance of a mermaid.

Logically speaking, more than 20,000 years have passed, and Lingxi should have grown up long ago. How come she has only grown ten centimeters taller?
"Fellow Daoist Huang Long."

As if she saw the puzzlement in Huang Long's eyes, the Mermaid Queen explained:
"Lingxi is the best merman in the history of the mermaids. She carries the fate of the mermaids on her shoulders, which also suppresses her body and mind, making it difficult for her to grow."

"So after more than 20,000 years, she is still a child and has not grown up."

"I see."

Huang Long nodded in understanding, but he did not think it was a bad thing, although Lingxi's physical and mental growth was suppressed because she carried the fate of the mermaid clan.

However, as someone who carries the destiny of a race, even if it is only the mermaid race which is not that large, Lingxi can be considered a son of destiny.

In the future, Lingxi will be able to obtain more opportunities and her practice will be smoother.

Just like now, with just a cup of Enlightenment Tea, Lingxi broke through several small realms and her cultivation level was raised to the early stage of Taiyi Golden Immortal.

This is the benefit brought by the luck of the mermaids. If everything goes well, with Lingxi's understanding and luck, she will have the opportunity to enter the realm of Daluo in the future. Just as Huang Long was sighing at the benefits brought by luck, the Queen of Mermaids cast a look of help to the Dragon King of the West Sea.

The Dragon King of the West Sea naturally understood what the Mermaid Queen meant. He shook his head and smiled, tapped the stone table with his fingers, and said softly:

"My dear Huang Long, you have a connection with the mermaids. I have already told Quan Yue that you will be the leader of the mermaids in the future. Just tell them what you need."

"Also, Quan Yue is not good at teaching, so I plan to let Ling Xi become your disciple. What do you think?"

"Your Majesty the Dragon King, it's fine for me to lead the mermaids, but Lingxi carries the destiny of the mermaids, so I'm afraid it's not appropriate for me to take her in."

Huang Long shook his head. Lingxi had the luck of the mermaid clan. How could the Mermaid Queen send Lingxi away?
Once the Mermaid Queen does this, it means that a large part of the mermaid tribe's fortune will fall into the hands of outsiders.

This is also why some people with great supernatural powers would prefer to accept members of large races or people with great luck as their disciples, just to get a share of their luck.

Lingxi carries the luck of the entire mermaid race.

If he allowed her to become his disciple, it would naturally be a great thing for Huang Long. However, for the mermaids, it would mean the loss of a great deal of luck, which might not necessarily be a good thing.

How could the Mermaid Queen make such a decision without any actual benefits?

So in Huang Long's opinion, the Mermaid Queen must have made this decision under the coercion of the Dragon King of the West Sea.

"If I really leave Lingxi in Yunyin Taoist Temple and take away some of the luck of the mermaids, I'm afraid it will cause dissatisfaction among the mermaids, leading to bad consequences for both sides."

Huang Long was secretly proud in his heart. He had always been very concerned about cause and effect karma.

However, the Mermaid Queen's next move was far beyond Huang Long's expectations.

The Mermaid Queen quickly stood up, came to Lingxi's side, bowed deeply to Huang Long, and said sincerely:
"Fellow Daoist Huang Long, you have also seen that Ling Xi has been following me for more than 20,000 years, but her cultivation is still at the Golden Immortal level."

"And now, just by drinking a cup of tea from Daoist Huanglong, she has broken through to the early stage of Taiyi Golden Immortal. If Lingxi continues to stay in the mermaid tribe, it will only bury her talent."

"Lingxi can only truly grow up by following a Taoist like Huanglong."

"As for the fate of the mermaids, don't worry about it, Fellow Daoist Huanglong. I believe that as long as Lingxi can grow up, the fate of the mermaids will become even stronger!"

"If Daoist Fellow Huanglong feels that Lingxi's comprehension is okay and that he values ​​the good fortune of the mermaid race, I hope Daoist Fellow will accept Lingxi."

"I hope you will accept Lingxi."

The mermaid girl Lingxi also imitated the Mermaid Queen and bowed in a very realistic manner, speaking in a baby voice.

"...If that's the case, then I can't refuse!"

After a moment's silence, Huang Long nodded in agreement. If the Mermaid Queen and Lingxi were willing, then accepting Lingxi would only benefit Huang Long and would not cause any harm.

Although after the sea eye repair plan was completed, Huang Long's dragon luck increased a lot.

However, the dragon clan is so huge, and there are so many powerful people in the clan. Even if Huang Long's dragon clan luck increased, he actually didn't get much.

However, Huang Long is a dragon who pays great attention to cause and effect karma. Before accepting a disciple, he still has to explain the most basic rules and punishments.
