Chapter Twenty-Four Ungrateful

  A new week, La Yue urgently needs your fiery support with votes~~

  In the center of the entire continent, there is a gigantic aerial palace, which is the Huálóng Palace.

  The Huálóng Palace is enormous, with dozens of shape-shifting masters within the sect, and countless Blood Condensation stage experts. There are over a hundred appointed cave masters. It can be said that the Huálóng Palace is the holy land in the hearts of all cultivators on this continent.

  Every hundred years, Huā Lóng Gōng holds a grand Huā Lóng competition. Any being that has not cultivated for over a hundred years and has not yet reached the fifth level of Blood Condensation can participate in the Huā Lóng competition with a Huā Lóng token. Once they become one of the top thousand, they can become an official disciple of Huā Lóng Gōng.

  Of course, to enter the Dragon Palace, you can also gather five pieces of the Dragon Command, but this is almost an impossible task. Every person who owns a piece of the Dragon Command hides deeply and won't reveal even half a word. To collect five pieces of the Dragon Command is really more difficult than ascending to heaven. There is another kind of person who not only can directly enter the Dragon Palace but also has extremely high status.

  Such a person is a true genius, cultivating for no more than a hundred years, but has cultivated to the fifth level of Blood Condensation or above, such a genius can directly enter the Huálóng Palace and be heavily nurtured. Such geniuses may become masters of transformation in the future, naturally they will be key figures to be nurtured by the Huálóng Palace.

  Of course, such a genius may not appear even in thousands of years.

  There are still two or three months until the Hundred Year Dragon Transformation Competition, and many cultivators have begun to set off one after another, rushing towards the sacred place of all cultivators, Huilong Palace.

  On a main road, a robust man was running at full speed. He had a clear and handsome face, looking quite young, seemingly not yet twenty years old. Occasionally, a sly glint would appear in his eyes. On his back, he carried an exquisite longbow.

  This man was naturally Yang Yi, who had escaped from Jinyang City. Since escaping from Jinyang City, Yang Yi rushed to Huilong Palace, changing his appearance several times, and ran for thousands of miles before restoring his true face.

  His destination this time is also to participate in the grand event of the century, the Huálóng Dàsài.

  Just as Yang Yi was hurrying along on horseback, a calm and steady voice suddenly came from in front: "Fellow traveler ahead, please wait a moment!"

  Yang furrowed his brow, turned around and looked back. Two fast horses were galloping towards him from behind, with a man and a woman riding on them. The man was wearing a green shirt, looking elegant and refined. The woman appeared to be very open-minded and straightforward. These two people had strong blood energy, Yang Yi could see at a glance that the man was a master of Condensed Blood Fourth Order, while the woman was only at Condensed Blood Third Order.

  On this road, Yang Yi also met many such monks, all of whom were rushing to Huálóng Palace.

  The man in the green shirt clasped his fists together and smiled slightly: "Fellow Taoist, I see you're traveling alone. This road isn't very safe; why don't we travel together?"

  "Travel together?"

  Yang Yi glanced at the man and then looked at the woman beside him, shaking his head slightly: "No need, I can handle it myself!"

  The man did not pause, but continued to say: "This Taoist friend, looking at your young age, you have already reached the realm of condensing blood four times. Your natural talent is extremely high and not ordinary. However, on the road to Huálóng Palace, there are mixed dragons and snakes, and there are many cases of murder and robbery. It's really extremely dangerous. If we travel together, we can also take care of each other. How about it?"

  Yang Yi shook his head again, pulled the reins and said lightly: "No need, I've been rushing for so long, but I haven't encountered any danger."

  The man in the green shirt wanted to persuade him again, but the woman next to him seemed very angry and said in a low voice: "Brother, let's go, no need to persuade him anymore. This person doesn't know what's good for him. When he encounters danger, he'll regret it too late. With one more person, who knows if he'll be a burden? Let's go!"

  Yang's eyes lit up slightly, this woman was quite interesting. She only had a cultivation of Congealed Blood Threefold, but her tone seemed very powerful, as if she didn't put Yang's cultivation in her eyes at all. A person like this, if not stupid, must have some strong means.

  "Shut up!" the man shouted abruptly.

  The man immediately turned to Yang Yi, looking somewhat embarrassed, and said: "This Taoist friend please forgive me, this is my younger sister, she speaks straightforwardly and has a quick temper, I hope you won't take it to heart. My sister and I are also going to the Huálóng Palace to watch the once-in-a-hundred-years Huálóng Grand Competition. However, on this road, we saw many masters with Condensed Blood Threefold or even Fourfold being killed by someone, and their essence was extracted, leaving behind a tragic scene of death. Therefore, we are still feeling uneasy, so we thought of finding a Taoist friend to travel together, in case we encounter danger. What do you think, Taoist friend?"

  Yang Yi listened clearly and asked in doubt: "Go watch the Dragon Transformation Competition?"

  The woman next to him glared at Yang Yidao and said, "Of course we're going to watch, are you going to participate in the Dragon Transformation Contest or something?"

  Yang Yi's expression suddenly turned cold and he said to the man, "Brother Dao has already achieved a cultivation of four layers of condensed blood. Why don't you go participate in the Huálóng Grand Competition?"

  The man in the green shirt didn't feel embarrassed at all, and instead burst out laughing: "Fellow Daoist must be cultivating at home and rarely knows about the Huálóng Grand Competition. This Huálóng Grand Competition only requires a Huálóng Token to participate, it's very convenient. But this Huálóng Token is not that easy to get, even if you got it, with my humble skills, I wouldn't dare to participate. Those who have the confidence to participate in the Huálóng Grand Competition are all geniuses who have faith in themselves, but even among so many geniuses, half of them will be killed, and only a small portion can successfully emerge victorious. Hehe, my wish is to be able to watch these geniuses' great battles, and to gain some insights from it, having the chance to become a Blood Condensation Fifth Grade would be the best!"

  Yang Yi listened and made no comment, then immediately mounted his horse and prepared to leave.

  The man in the green shirt changed his expression slightly and said loudly, "Fellow Taoist, what I just said is true, countless people have been killed behind us, their blood has been drained, it's extremely dangerous. It's better for you to come with us and we can take care of each other."

  But Yang Yi didn't pay attention at all and directly went forward.

  The woman beside him said in a low and cold voice: "Don't know what's good for you, let's ignore him and leave!"

  The man let out a faint sigh and said, "What a pity. Looking at this person's appearance, he is young and has already cultivated to the fourth level of Blood Condensation. He must have exceptional innate talent, and it wasn't easy for him to cultivate to his current level. But precisely because of this, with his proud heart and arrogant demeanor, he is most likely to encounter trouble. Haven't we seen enough tragic events on our journey? Alright, since he doesn't want to, we won't force him. Let's go!"

  The two of them immediately whipped their horses and galloped forward, kicking up a cloud of dust along the way.
