Yang Jing’s heart tightened. Before coming to the Dong Kingdom, he had worried about Yinjiao’s identity being exposed. With his pure Flood Dragon Bloodline, he was the best Guardian Beast for practicing the Great Cave Spirit Scripture.

It was just that before he set out, he never expected a journey of less than seven days to be fraught with so many complications.

If things had gone smoothly, after arriving at the Dong Family, they would have only been received by a Foundation Establishment Steward. At most, they would have met with a Golden Core Cultivator from the Dong Family. With their level of cultivation, they could at most have told that the Dragon Qi on Yinjiao was merely somewhat pure.

But with Dong Yiming’s Nascent Soul Cultivation, it was highly likely he could see through to Yinjiao’s identity as a Pure-blooded Flood Dragon.

A thousand thoughts raced through Yang Jing’s mind, but his face remained impassive. He said to Yinjiao, "Yinjiao, demonstrate the Positive and Negative Five Elements Swordsmanship for True Monarch Dong."

The Positive and Negative Five Elements Swordsmanship was the signature Sword Technique of the Five Elements True Spirit Sect. He wanted to use this Sword Technique to emphasize Yinjiao’s status as a disciple of the Five Elements True Spirit Sect.

Secondly, executing the swordsmanship required converting the Magical Power from the Supreme Nine Transformations of the Dragon Scripture into Sword Gang. This would add another layer of concealment, making it harder for his true nature to be seen at a glance.

Yinjiao nodded, bowed to True Monarch Dong, then took out his Flying Sword Cang Lang. Holding it directly in his hand, he leaped into the center of the hall to perform. The flying sword in his hand transformed into a streak of Profound Light, its Sword Gang surging like a great, mighty river. Then, with a turn, it changed into a green light, evoking the image of ancient trees reaching for the heavens, brimming with vigorous life.

Applying the Five Elements Mutual Generation Principle, he selected a few moves from the Positive and Negative Five Elements Sword Mantra and executed them one by one.

Finally, the blade pulsed with a dazzling Metal Element Sword Gang that tore through the air, making it difficult for anyone to look at it directly.

Yinjiao effortlessly dispersed the Sword Gang and landed gracefully, without a single drop of sweat on his forehead. He respectfully bowed to Canyuan True Monarch and True Monarch Dong at the main table.

Canyuan True Monarch nodded slightly. "What a graceful young man. With only a Qi Cultivation, you can comprehend the Positive and Negative Five Elements Sword Mantra to such a degree. After you reach Foundation Establishment, you might even possess some of your master’s flair."

He had previously seen Iron Head wield a Big Spear with unparalleled ferocity and had been curious about who Yang Jing had passed his swordsmanship down to. He hadn’t expected it to be his second disciple, Yinjiao.

"To be able to freely convert the Magical Power of the Supreme Nine Transformations of the Dragon Scripture into Sword Gang... you truly have a remarkable talent for the Sword Dao," Dong Yiming said.

Although he was a Nascent Soul of the quietist cultivation lineage, as a member of the Dong Family, how could he be completely ignorant of the art of dragon-scrying? Even though Yinjiao maintained his Transformation, Dong Yiming could still discern a kind of noble aura unique to dragon-kind about him.

Ordinary Dragon Beasts, like the Great Demons and Demon Kings of his Dong Family who used the Dragon Transformation Scripture to strengthen their True Dragon Bloodline, inevitably carried a ferocious and violent aura. They would never possess such a noble air.

However, this was just his speculation. He had originally intended to use the pretext of offering guidance to probe Yinjiao’s true nature.

He didn’t know whether Yinjiao had intentionally or unintentionally converted his Dragon Transformation Scripture Magical Power into Sword Gang. The ferocity of the Sword Gang concealed his own Dragon Transformation Scripture Magical Power, preventing Dong Yiming from seeing through him at all.

Dong Yiming pondered for a moment, then let the thought go.

’Yinjiao can practice the Positive and Negative Five Elements Sword Mantra, so he’s clearly a registered disciple of the Five Elements True Spirit Sect. Even if he is a Pure-blooded Flood Dragon, it has nothing to do with my Dong Family.’

’More importantly, so what if he is a Pure-blooded Flood Dragon? If he were to join my Dong Family, he would only strengthen the True Spirit Lineage’s Power.’

Once he gave up the idea of probing, the atmosphere at the Sea Dragon Banquet immediately became much more harmonious.

For instance, the Dragon Blood Carp that Yang Jing had treasured so much before hardly even qualified to be served at the Sea Dragon Banquet. Even with his cultivation, after eating a full course of Dragon Beast Spiritual Food, he felt his Blood Qi churning and his Magical Power boiling.

Among the remaining disciples, Yellow Foot ate the most. Relying on the advantage of his bloodline, he felt almost no effect. Iron Head was like his master, his face flushed red, and he was having some trouble controlling his Magical Power.

Because Yinjiao also possessed a True Dragon Bloodline, he benefited the most and digested the Dragon Qi the fastest, his expression remaining normal.

Chi Yu, on the other hand, had eaten until her belly was bulging. The surging Blood Qi gave her a stomach ache. Even so, there was still a lot of Spiritual Food left on her table. It all ended up in her junior brother Yellow Foot’s stomach.

Ji Feng ate even less than Chi Yu, giving all her extra Spiritual Food to her youngest junior brother, Yellow Foot.

Seeing the modest and respectful behavior among Yang Jing’s five disciples, Canyuan True Monarch nodded to himself. With his long lifespan, he had seen countless instances of brothers fighting amongst themselves.

Some martial brothers would argue until they were red in the face over the division of just a few Spirit Stones, insisting on splitting everything perfectly.

’The Sea Dragon Banquet... even though the Spiritual Materials came from the Dong Family and were provided at cost, the share for each person is worth nearly twenty thousand Spirit Stones. Even if they can’t absorb it all now, they can put it in their Storage Bags and take it back to digest slowly.’

’Without the Dong Family, you couldn’t even gather all the ingredients. No amount of Spirit Stones would be enough to host a Sea Dragon Banquet.’

Amused, Yang Jing picked Chi Yu up and held her in his arms, massaging her belly with his palm to disperse the surging Blood Qi and prevent it from stagnating and becoming even harder to digest.

「The joyous banquet came to an end.」

Yang Jing returned to the Quiet Chamber in his courtyard residence. He sat cross-legged and converted all the surging Spiritual Qi into Magical Power, then used his True Yang Body to refine his Blood Qi.

Without any warning, an Acupoint suddenly opened on its own, causing the Celestial True Gang throughout Yang Jing’s body to surge once more.

Yang Jing opened his eyes. ’Unlike with the Tai Shi Five Elements True Talisman Scripture, for which I can take Five Elements Pills to advance my Magical Power, the progress of my True Yang Body has started to gradually fall behind.’
