Xiao Xinghai Added, "Still, There Is a Way"

"What is it?" "Although dragon blood doesn't possess healing properties, it fortifies the body. As long as I soak in dragon blood, I can still speed up my recovery." Dragon blood was not a pill, so it fell outside the [Rules]. "Do you have dragon blood?" In Lu Yang's memory, Immortal Fairy had told him that the key to mastering the Dragon Transformation Art required soaking in a vast amount of dragon blood. "Not on hand; I used it all up while cultivating the Dragon Transformation Art. But we can go buy some at the Dragon Palace Sea Market. That's where I got the dragon blood for my cultivation before." After a quick discussion among Lu Yang and the other three, Su Yiren stayed behind to look after Tao Yaoye, while the four of them would head to the Dragon Palace Sea Market for a stroll. "Take me along too! The fresher the dragon blood, the better the effect. If you have to make a round trip, its potency will be greatly diminished." Xiao Xinghai struggled to get up, alarming Lu Yang and the others so much that they hastily pinned him back onto the bed. "You can barely even stand! What business do you have going to the sea market?" "You can carry me there," Xiao Xinghai said, still refusing to give up. "Wouldn't that be a little too conspicuous? Would Clan Head Xiao even let you leave?" "No matter. I have a way." ... Lu Yang and the other three carried a coffin as they flew toward the Dragon Palace Sea Market. Xiao Xinghai was a renowned prodigy in the East Sea; being carried to the Dragon Palace Sea Market on a stretcher would be rather humiliating. With the coffin lid shut, there was no need to worry about being recognized. It truly killed multiple birds with one stone. The coffin was a magic treasure that possessed the ability to block divine sense. The Dragon Palace Sea Market was the largest sea market in the East Sea, where people of all walks of life converged. Unlike the Penglai Island sea market frequented solely by the Human Race, the Dragon Palace Sea Market had both Sea Race and Human Race inhabitants. The Dragon Palace Sea Market was a mixed bag where novel sights occurred every day, but carrying a coffin while browsing the market was a first even here. "Who passed away?" "The coffin-bearers are four humans. Could it be a human senior?" "Then what are they doing here? A sea burial in the Dragon Palace? Would the Dragon Palace even allow that?" "Who knows." "Strange, why do those four humans look like they're laughing happily?" "Extreme grief turned to joy, probably." Lu Yang and the other three arrived at the Dragon Palace Sea Market, chatting and laughing along the way. The Dragon Palace Sea Market was built deep underwater. The deep sea ought to have been pitch-black, dark enough that one couldn't see their own fingers, yet the domineeringly wealthy Dragon Palace had arrayed countless luminous pearls into a grand formation, illuminating the depths as bright as day. "This place really is huge." Lu Yang and his companions dived down, looking over the Dragon Palace Sea Market. It resembled an immense dragon adorned with countless jewels slumbering on the seafloor; neither the Sea Race roaming its body nor the buildings erected atop it could awaken this mighty dragon. At the end of the sea market stood an ancient hall—the very Dragon Palace renowned by all across the East Sea. The Dragon Palace was not open to outsiders; even flood dragons just one step away from transforming into true dragons had no right to set foot inside. "Once the Old Dragon Emperor's birthday banquet arrives, we'll get to see what the Dragon Palace looks like." The Old Dragon Emperor's birthday banquet was right around the corner, and Lu Yang and the others would be able to enter through Su Yiren's connections. With the reputation of the Nine Sons of the Dao Seeking Sect, receiving an invitation was out of the question; showing up uninvited would be walking straight into a trap. "They're showing no respect to this Immortal at all! As the Second-in-Command of the Immortal Lineage and Lianyi's senior brother, that Old Dragon Emperor ought to come out in person to invite you into the Dragon Palace!" In the spiritual space, Immortal Fairy—currently in mermaid form—swam back and forth, indignant on Lu Yang's behalf. Even though Lu Yang did not feel he was being treated unfairly in the least.
