I Have A Dual World Seal-Chapter 729: Dragon Palace Banquet

On that night, the Dragon Palace held a banquet to celebrate Ao Qian's safe return and the visit of various guests.

Spirit wine and spirit fruits, indulge freely.

Silk and bamboo music with dances, performances never cease.

Though these are ancient and traditional forms of entertainment, given that it was everyone's first time experiencing them, they found it quite novel.

Additionally, there were also people attending the banquet.

Though it wasn't a large event involving the whole clan, those who came were close relatives of Ao Jin's Jade Dragon clan.

Status, appearance, cultivation, Dao practice...

Each one was an outstanding individual, any of whom could travel to the Central Plains and be a distinguished guest at major sects.

Now they became the guests at the feast, which made the group both anxious and proud.

Fortunately, everyone was accustomed to the world.

First, both sides had deep ties with the little girl Ao Qian, so the attitude of the Dragon Race was cordial, and the atmosphere during the exchanges was excellent.

Second, with Lu Zheng sitting at the head, citing scriptures and anecdotes, his engaging conversations on various spells and cultivation easily drew the most attention.

"The Central Plains truly has outstanding people and places. Young Master Lu, though young, possesses profound Dao practice and vast knowledge, truly the cream of the crop in this generation of White Cloud Temple," an elderly man with a long beard praised while stroking his beard.

This was an old dragon, whose natural talent was average, but having accumulated thousands of years of Dao practice, his magical power was profound.

"Senior overpraises me; I am merely an Outer Disciple in the temple and dare not claim to be the best," Lu Zheng replied modestly.

A palace-attired beautiful lady glanced at Liu Qingyan and Shen Ying beside Lu Zheng and praised, "Young Master Lu is elegant and charming, and these two beauties are extraordinary, truly a match made in heaven."

Upon hearing these words from the palace-attired beauty, some relatively young dragon girls looked over but couldn't discern much.

One was a Fox Girl, the other a Qian Ghost.

They had just heard from the Dragon King, one ran a medical clinic healing people in the mortal world, the other was an Incense and Candle God conferred by the Central Plains Dynasty.

Although their Dao practice was not weak and they were extremely beautiful, they couldn't quite be called extraordinary, right?

Because of the relationship with the Dragon King and Ao Qian, everyone of course wouldn't look at them with prejudice, but some level of genuine praise should be there, right?

"You all are shallow in Dao practice and cannot see their potential. Truly, if we talk about potential and foundations, even though you have True Dragon bloodlines and Jade Dragon heritage, your final achievements might not surpass these two," another lady dressed in a blue dragon scale tight silk skirt said.

The dragon girls were curious upon hearing this, yet politely refrained from questioning, since these two were experts of the Dragon Race, they had no reason to unite with outsiders to deceive them.

As for probing deeper and asking why...

This isn't something a well-cultivated dragon lady would do.

"Senior overpraises me. Speaking of which, it's due to Lu Lang's credit, and we are undeserving of such praise," Liu Qingyan said with a bow, thanking while speaking softly.

Shen Ying also bowed slightly, then picked up the wine jug on the table, filling up for Lu Zheng, Liu Qingyan, and herself, before raising her glass to remotely toast those two dragon ladies who spoke for her.

Liu Qingyan and Shen Ying were gracious and gentle, but Du Yueyao and Wang Xiaowan dared not act superior, sitting in the lower positions, chatting with dragon girls of slightly lower seniority, exchanging stories about interesting events in the East Sea and Central Plains.

Elder Liu and an old dragon proficient in medical skills from the Jade Dragon Race immediately hit it off like old friends.

Madam Liu found common topics with dragon mothers whose offspring were still young.

Ao Qian led Liu Qingquan into a group of younglings from the Dragon Clan, sharing various stories and new playful methods, which were well-received.

As for Yue Honghai...

He did not join the banquet, but was naturally accompanied by the Turtle Minister and Crab General in a side hall to enjoy drinking.

However, Yue Honghai was quite satisfied and decided to head to the Lu River God's Mansion to brag to He Dingshan after returning to the Central Plains.

...

The banquet was a joyous occasion for hosts and guests alike.

Lu Zheng and his group were arranged into a core area of the Dragon Palace, with a lavishly luxurious palace specifically prepared for them.

Cyan jade for the floor, white jade for the walls, carved beams and painted rafters, gilded flying eaves.

Spirit wood as columns, gems for inlays on doors, pearls as curtains, coral for decorations.

Along with the surrounding clear seawater, it truly was a radiant spectacle of celestial palaces made of shells.

Right, the Dragon Palace buildings spanning dozens of miles weren't entirely water-averse, with some avoiding water while others did not.

For instance, the palace where they just dined along with its surrounding area served as guest accommodations, thus completely avoiding water.

While a nearby tall tower was entirely submerged, with a Flood Dragon coiled around it measuring dozens of zhang.

Therefore, from afar, it looked like huge bubbles inlayed atop undulating mountains, starry and wondrous.

The palace where Lu Zheng and the others were arranged was, of course, water-averse.

Upon entering, the ceiling was inlaid with Luminous Pearls, the walls hung with pearl curtains, a White Jade Case in the main hall, and a Coral Bed in the bedroom.

Lu Zheng reached out to touch the Cloud Patterned Hundred Flowers Silk Quilt on the bed, finding it soft and silky, an excellent texture not inferior to the silk quilt he brought from the modern world.

Lu Zheng let out a sigh of relief, finally finding something comparable.

Then he sensed faint fluctuations emanating from the quilt, which turned out to have Spiritual Silkworm Silk woven into it, and some Calm Heart, An Shen, Nourishing Essence, Body Protection, and even Healing Spell Seals embedded.

Lu Zheng: Õ_Õ

This is too much, I want to pack it all into a gourd and take it back! 𝐟𝕣𝕖𝐞𝐰𝕖𝚋𝐧𝗼𝚟𝐞𝕝.𝗰𝐨𝐦

Also, it's not thorough, the preparations are incomplete.

Why is the focus wholly on calming and nourishing? What if a young couple checks in, wanting to enjoy themselves, yet ends up in a sage-like state due to these spell seals?

No wonder the Jade Dragon Race has a low population, so that's why, case solved!

Lu Zheng snorted softly, pushing the quilt a little further away.

Humph! I don't want it!

Liu Qingyan and Shen Ying curiously glanced at Lu Zheng, who suddenly became a bit haughty, and then continued to explore excitedly.

"So beautiful!"

"I wonder if the Da Jing Imperial Palace has such luxurious palaces."

"I doubt it; after all, the Great Jing has only been established for six hundred years, how long has this Dragon Palace existed?"

"But the Central Plains Dynasty rules the world..."

"Yet, it's not as vast as the East Sea!"

Du Yueyao and Wang Xiaowan were even more excited, touching here and there, exclaiming in admiration, making the dragon ladies leading the tour quite pleased.

Once the introductions were properly made, the hosts left, and Ao Qian left with Ao Jin and Ao Yi, leaving Lu Zheng and his group alone in the palace.

"Truly, I've gained a lot of insight!" Elder Liu said, his face glowing with excitement, as the old dragon who hit it off with him invited him to go fishing at sea the next day.

Madam Liu also nodded in agreement, and her schedule for the next few days was arranged as well.

Liu Qingquan of course followed the little dragon girl Xiaolongzi and Ao Qian to play around everywhere.

As for Lu Zheng and the others, they would have the Dragon King's personal company.
