No taboos in the world

Chapter 476 The Dragon King Presents Treasures
Just as Hong Chen was thinking about how to open his mouth to extend the invitation, there was suddenly movement on the sea.

Turning around, I saw the sea surface surging like boiling water, and then the sea water separated directly to both sides, revealing a slope in the middle. The rolling waves carried a group of people and horses quickly coming from the bottom of the sea.

The shrimp soldiers and crab generals played the harp and the flute, the mermaids and clam girls danced gracefully, the yakshas cleared the way, and the prime minister led the way.

The Dragon King, dressed in a white royal robe, wearing a flat crown, a dragon head, and two fluttering dragon whiskers, came with a smile, surrounded by the majestic sea creatures.

After getting ashore, the Dragon King moved very quickly and was close in a blink of an eye.

Without waiting for the two dragon girls to greet him, he bowed to Hong Chen first.

"Ao Run, the Dragon King of the West Sea, pays homage to Master Hong!"

Hong Chen was slightly stunned, but soon he started to laugh. He stepped forward to help Ao Run up and said, "Dragon King, you are too polite. I am not old, just a junior. Dragon King, you don't have to show such courtesy."

Needless to say, Ao Run must have known his identity as a disciple of the saint through some means, otherwise, even if he wanted to establish a good relationship with him, he would not have mobilized such a large force.

The location of the West Sea means that the position of the Dragon King of the West Sea is not easy to sit on. On one side is the Southern Continent, on the other side is the Western Continent, and above his head is the Heavenly Palace. How to balance the pros and cons and maintain the neutrality of the dragon clan is also a profound knowledge.

The fact that Ao Run was able to lead the West Sea peacefully for so many years shows his intelligence.

Sure enough, in the face of Hong Chen's modesty, Ao Run did not change his attitude and still respectfully invited him to visit the Dragon Palace.

This scene greatly surprised the two little female dragons standing nearby. They felt that this man did not look like the father or uncle they had in mind at all.

Hong Chen thought about it for a moment and agreed.

It has always been said that there are many treasures in the Dragon Palace. In addition to treasures like peaches and ginseng fruits that can only be found in one place, the elixir recipe also contains many precious but not rare medicinal materials like the Golden Toad Spirit Liquid.

Instead of spending a lot of time and energy searching by yourself, you might as well take the opportunity to go to the Dragon Palace to make some connections.

It's just a favor. In life, isn't it that you owe me and I owe you?
Ao Run was overjoyed when he saw this, and immediately stepped aside to lead the way, half a body behind him. Prime Minister Turtle made some moves behind him, and those shrimp soldiers, crab generals, and mermaids and clam girls immediately became more excited.

Into the sea.

All kinds of rare and magnificent marine creatures with strange shapes and sizes had already gathered and waited. They swam in the sea and formed a huge passage leading to the seabed. Some of them were familiar to Hong Chen, while some were mythical creatures that he had never seen before, which really gave Hong Chen a surprise.

After arriving at the Dragon Palace, the beautiful and well-proportioned maids lined up in two rows. Wherever Hong Chen went, the maids bowed to him.

However, Hong Chen's attention was mostly on the rare treasures and bright corals in the Dragon Palace.

When sitting down, he couldn't resist Ao Run's enthusiasm and had to take the main seat.

After a while, all kinds of delicacies and fine wines from the Dragon Palace filled the long table.

This kind of reception made Hong Chen experience firsthand what it means to feel at home.

The smile on Ao Run's face almost never disappeared, and his queen was also a shrewd and intelligent character. Every word she said was well-timed and the atmosphere was never dull.

Hong Chen also saw Ao Run's third son, the future Little White Dragon Ao Lie. He was dressed in white, wearing a golden crown, with a face as white as jade, handsome and extraordinary, worthy of the title of Jade Dragon Third Prince.

However, Ao Run's other son, Ao Mo'ang, was said to be practicing outside and they had no chance to meet.

Ao Cunxin and Ao Tingxin, who were sitting beside them, seemed not to be used to this kind of occasion. They often kept their heads down and seldom spoke.

After the banquet, they moved to another spacious and cool palace, where the queen made tea herself.

"Master, this is the immortal tea treasured by the Dragon Palace. Please!"

"Thank you, Dragon King."

Hong Chen raised the cup and took a sip. The tea went down his throat, the fragrance filled his mouth and tongue, and a trace of spiritual energy spread out and penetrated into his body, even his soul was gently nourished.

"It's really top-notch!" Hong Chen's eyes lit up.

Ao Chun smiled and said, "Since you like it, I'll bring some back later."

"That's not necessary." Hong Chen shook his head. He had something else to ask for, and it was too embarrassing to eat and take things at the same time.

Ao Run said, "This is nothing, you can rest assured."

He has been so polite, as if asking for whatever he wants. Hong Chen didn't dare to let him lead the topic anymore, otherwise he didn't know what he would give him next.

So he put down his teacup and said seriously, "Dragon King, to be honest, I do have a favor to ask of you."

After saying this, Hong Chen also looked at Ao Run, but he never expected that he would see surprise on the other's face.

Is it an illusion?

Hong Chen couldn't be sure.

“No problem!” Ao Run waved his hand and said cheerfully, “If you have anything to ask for, please tell me. As long as it is available in the Dragon Palace or can be done, the old dragon will definitely not refuse!”

"Okay. Then I'll have to trouble the Dragon King today!" As he spoke, Hong Chen used his fingers as a pen to write down the names of various medicinal herbs in the air.

After a while, he said, "Dragon King, I am collecting these medicinal herbs. I wonder if there are any of these in the Dragon Palace?"

Ao Run looked at the list of medicinal herbs condensed from the blazing white sword energy, and was slightly surprised while recalling and comparing them.

"Your Majesty, we have 70% of these medicinal herbs. As for the remaining 20%, I think they should be collected in the other three sea dragon palaces." The queen suddenly spoke.

Ao Run nodded: "Okay, send someone to get it, and contact my three brothers."

The queen took the order and stood up to leave.

Ao Run asked again: "Master Hong, is this enough?"

Hong Chen couldn't help but be stunned. Why did the Dragon King sound as if he was dissatisfied?
How big of a favor does he want me to owe him? Hong Chen thought quickly, and suddenly an idea came to him, and he said: "I am indeed looking for some other things, but..."

After he finished speaking, Ao Run immediately responded with a look of pain and distress: "How can you be so polite, Master? Don't you consider the dragon clan as your friends?"

Hong Chen: “…”

Well, he finally gave in.

"Of course not. I am very happy to be received by the Dragon King. It is my honor to be his friend."

"Then what are you hesitating about, Master?"

Hong Chen sighed and said, "Okay, okay, I'm still looking for innate spiritual objects recently."

"Yes!" Ao Run stood up without hesitation, "Come on, Master, I'll take you to the Dragon Palace Treasure House, take whatever you like!"

Not long after, Hong Chen stood in the Dragon Palace treasury and suddenly felt the long-lost poverty.

Ao Run stood in front of him with his arms open, laughing: "True Lord, this is the treasure house of the Dragon Palace in the West Sea. If you like anything, you can take it!"

For a moment, Hong Chen even wanted to directly incorporate the entire treasure house into his own Hutian space.

But once he thought about the cause and effect of the dragon clan, he calmed down.

These treasures are not so easy to get.

Skipping over the thousands of acquired spiritual treasures and materials of varying grades, the hundreds of spiritual treasures that clearly carried an innate aura, and all sorts of things whose names and origins he didn't know but looked very valuable, he focused his attention on the few innate spiritual objects.

If you want to add innate restrictions to the Red Dust Sword, you can only use innate spiritual objects or innate spiritual roots, spiritual treasures are not included.

for a long time.

Hong Chen selected a book on dragon scale elixir and seven innate spiritual objects, namely: golden lotus seeds, hibiscus tree branches, laurel tree branches, Buzhou mountain stones, ancestral dragon scales, Yuan Feng feathers and ancestral Qilin bones.

The Alchemy Book uses dragon scales as a carrier and records the alchemy methods and recipes collected by the dragon clan from ancient times to the present. Its value is inestimable.

In order to complete his master's task, Hong Chen is not afraid of owing the dragon clan more.

Those seven innate spiritual objects are all extraordinary.

The golden lotus seeds were the first batch of lotus seeds bred when the golden lotus of merit still had 12 grades. I don’t know how the dragon clan got them. If they are carefully cultivated, at least the ninth grade golden lotus can be raised. Although it lacks merit, it is the best choice whether it is used as a medicinal material or to refine magic weapons.

The dragon race didn't cultivate themselves, probably because they were afraid of Buddhism. After all, the golden lotus of merit under Tathagata's buttocks was only of the ninth grade.

The hibiscus branches and laurel branches are both close to the core trunk. They are full of vitality, clear and profound, and are definitely not ordinary branches.

According to Ao Run, these two branches were taken by Zulong himself from the Sun Star and the Moon Star.

You should know that innate creatures were also born on the Sun and the Moon at a very early time, and the Fusang tree was the earliest birthplace of Di Jun and Tai Yi.

One can imagine the power of the Ancestral Dragon, as he was able to cut off these two branches right under the noses of Emperor Jun and Taiyi of the Sun Star and Xihe and Wangshu of the Moon Star. The dragon clan at that time was also the protagonist of heaven and earth.

In this day and age, it is impossible to get such branches.

The Heavenly Court will not allow such practices that harm the origins of the Sun and the Moon.

The stone marrow of Mount Buzhou is three meters long, wide and high. It was the essence of the mountain that the dragon clan took out from Mount Buzhou with great effort when Mount Buzhou was not broken yet. They wanted to use it to refine weapons, but unfortunately the dragon clan tried their best to melt it but failed, so they had to leave it in the treasury to gather dust.

Hong Chen didn’t know whether this thing was useful or not, but his intuition told him that he should choose it.

Besides, Mount Buzhou was formed from Pangu’s spine, and this stone marrow is equivalent to Pangu’s spinal cord, so its value cannot be low.

The dragon clan is really brave and dares to dig anything.

The last Ancestral Dragon Scales, Yuan Phoenix Feathers and Ancestral Qilin Bones did not have the powerful pressure as imagined, nor were they as valuable as imagined, but they did possess a very rich innate aura.

The Ancestral Dragon, the Original Phoenix, and the Ancestral Qilin are all innately divine and have extraordinary roots.

This little bit of scraps alone would definitely not be enough to increase the number of innate restrictions on the Red Dust Sword, but who asked Ao Runfei to pick up the thing and stuff it into his arms?
Hong Chen did not feel the great cause and effect, and his master did not remind him, so he accepted it with confidence.

"Is that enough? Do you want to pick some more?"

Ao Run's words made Hong Chen feel helpless. He could only wave his hands repeatedly: "Enough, enough. This time I owe the Dragon King. If the Dragon King needs you in the future, you can always look for me."

Ao Run laughed so hard that his dragon nose opened wide and his dragon whiskers flew.

Shortly after leaving the treasury, the queen brought the medicinal herbs.

Before leaving, Hong Chen said, "By the way, Dragon King, I just met Ao Tingxin and saw that she and I have a connection. I want to take her to heaven to become a god. I wonder if there is a way to quickly get to the East Sea from the West Sea. I want to discuss this with the Dragon King of the East Sea in person."

Hearing this, Ao Run was delighted again and nodded repeatedly: "Yes, of course, please follow me, Master!"

Soon after, Hong Chen passed through a watery passage and reached the East China Sea from the South China Sea.

In front of the passage, the queen was puzzled: "My king, why don't you let him take Cunxin with him?"

Ao Run had put away his smile at this time, and restored the dignity of the dragon clan. He put his hands behind his back and said, "Since he didn't mention it, it means he didn't like her. If he liked her, why wouldn't he say it? Tingxin is my eldest brother's child and my niece. If she goes, she will be able to represent the four seas dragon clan."

The queen frowned and moved her lips slightly, as if she wanted to say something else.

Ao Run turned around and whispered in her ear sternly: "It is not easy to be in charge of the marriages of the three realms, even for a saint's disciple. Have you forgotten the old story of Yao Ji?"

Hearing this, the queen's expression froze and she dared not say anything more.
