I Have A Dual World Seal-Chapter 732: Touring the Majestic Views of the Dragon Palace

"Old Chen, come quickly, there's something delicious to eat!"

The speaker was Ao Kuo, who was younger than Ao Chen, yet always acted mature. However, he didn't want to call the forever youthful Ao Chen "cousin," so he referred to him as Old Chen.

"What delicious things?"

Ao Chen pulled Ao Yue closer, noticing a few large fish and smelling the rich aroma.

"Wow, did you kidnap a great chef from the Central Plains to the Dragon Palace? Or is the Dragon Palace kitchen planning to change chefs?" Ao Chen couldn't help but ask, "Isn't it not yet time for the ten-year period?"

The Dragon Palace kitchen not only had aquatic demons studying culinary skills to become chefs, but also hired chefs from the Central Plains for ten-year terms, who were then sent back with golden pearls and jade for a worry-free life.

"Not made by the kitchen staff, they dare to claim they are famous chefs from the Central Plains, but their food can't compare to Brother Lu's," Ao Kuo announced loudly.

"Brother Lu?"

Ao Chen naturally saw Lu Zheng and his group, pulling Ao Yue down from their cloud with him, "Greetings, Brother Lu. Ao Chen gives his respects!"

"Greetings, Brother Ao!"

Ao Yue stepped forward two steps, softly saying, "We heard from Fellow Daoist Zhuge that Qian Bao'Er was having a picnic on this island, so we thought we'd come and catch a meal. I didn't expect Young Master Lu to be cooking, I apologize for the intrusion."

Liu Qingyan stepped forward, linking arms with Ao Yue, "Not an intrusion, not at all. Back in the Central Plains, I often heard Qian Bao'Er mention Young Master Ao Chen and Miss Ao Yue, but never wanted to disturb your time together. It's lovely to meet today, please have a seat and try Lu Lang's culinary skills."

Ao Chen and Ao Yue were seated next to Ao Kuo and Ao Yun, with Zhuge Ye and Xue Li hurriedly paying their respects and being seated not far off.

Being guests from afar, and with Zhuge Ye being a friend of Ao Chen's, they came just in time for the gathering. Plus, there was enough food, so they were invited to join as well.

"Apologies for the disturbance! Apologies!" Zhuge Ye repeatedly cupped his hands together, very politely.

Xue Li also sat down with a smile, accepting the chopsticks handed by Wang Xiaowan, then raised his cup in a toast to everyone.

Lu Zheng glanced at him, believing he must have successfully requested the Divine Dragon Grass.

"Young Master Lu, great culinary skills!" Ao Chen raised his glass to clink with Lu Zheng's. "The dishes made by the kitchen staff usually taste bland as can be."

"I've merely changed it up with something new, nothing significant," Lu Zheng laughed.

"Brother-in-law also makes a Buddha Jumps Over the Wall; it may seem bland, but it's especially delicious!" Ao Qian said.

Zhuge Ye and Xue Li were secretly surprised, not expecting Lu Zheng to be the Jade Dragon Race's in-law!

In this world, marrying a Dragon Girl is not as easy as in fairy tales; after all, the Dragon Race is not populous, and they live longer than humans of equal cultivation.

Anyone who marries a Dragon Girl must be extraordinary, a peerless figure at the pinnacle of this world in some aspect.

So this Young Master Lu...

Zhuge Ye and Xue Li sized him up and down, could his culinary skills be the top of this world, capturing the heart of a Dragon Girl?

However, after Ao Qian spoke, neither Ao Chen nor Ao Kuo responded.

How could they respond? It would be like asking Lu Zheng to perform for them.

But Lu Zheng was not bothered, merely calling out to Yue Honghai, "Old Yue!"

"At your service, Young Master!"

"Go into the sea and catch some seafood, for making Buddha Jumps Over the Wall, and get plenty of it."

"Sure thing!"

Yue Honghai, having tasted Buddha Jumps Over the Wall before, couldn't help but lick his lips and jumped into the sea.

The other two guests, naturally not wanting to let Yue Honghai do all the work alone, laughed loudly and joined him in the sea one by one.

...

Buddha Jumps Over the Wall needs to be simmered gently over a low flame, letting the heat slowly penetrate the ingredients, making them tender but not mushy, with a rich aroma.

Using magical power, Lu Zheng could certainly save a lot of time.

If Tang Niu in "Food God" could do it, there was no reason Lu Zheng couldn't.

So...

"It smells amazing!"

"So delicious!"

"Why is it called Buddha Jumps Over the Wall? I think it should be called Dragon Dribbling."

"I'm eating right now, stop grossing me out!"

"Ahahaha!"

...

A delightful picnic for both hosts and guests.

Zhuge Ye and Xue Li also cleared up their misunderstanding, as only Ao Qian called him brother-in-law, while others still referred to Lu Zheng as brother or Brother Lu.

As night fell, Zhuge Ye and Xue Li bid farewell and departed, and everyone returned to the Dragon Palace.

...

In the following days, Lu Zheng and his company thoroughly toured the Dragon Palace and the surrounding scenic spots.

Coral Forest.

Red Coral, Yellow Coral, Blue Coral, Green Coral, Purple Coral...

Colorful and varied, covering nearly a hundred li, not only is the terrain complex, but also various small fish swim in between, like a labyrinth, ever-changing.

To truly see it all might take a year, making it an ideal spot for romance among Dragon Palace dwellers.

Pearl River.

A stretch of clear, transparent true water, distinct from ordinary seawater, in which countless mollusks live, exhaling innumerable pearls of various colors.

When the mollusks die, the pearls spill out, some as large as fists, others as small as fly heads, some pitch black like ink, others white as moonlight.

Floating up and down in the true water, Dragon Palace residents occasionally come to pick up a few beautiful pearls.

Feeling compelled by generosity, Lu Zheng's group also picked some pearls each.

Lava Lake.

Several hundred li north of the Dragon Palace lies a fissure directly connected to the earth vein, housing a permanent, rolling mass of lava.

Containing Earth Core Evil Qi, the Lava Lake often sprouts spiritual materials, serving as a source for Dragon Palace's dharma artifact refining and some of its spiritual artifact materials.

Furthermore, the occasional lava fountains also make Lava Lake a spectacle; Lu Zheng and others witnessed one during their visit.

A column of lava several zhang in diameter shot straight several hundred meters from the seafloor... Well, compared to the hundred-li-wide Lava Lake, it was indeed a small fountain.

Five-Colored Waterfall.

Apart from pearls and coral, the vast ocean and its countless underwater mountain ranges hold many treasures as well.

Emerald, agate, crystal, tourmaline, gemstones, and various jade stones...

Sometimes, a mountain face is one giant block of yellow crystal or red jade.

Under the light of the seabed, with water currents, it sparkles with a myriad of beautiful colors, like a five-colored waterfall, with ever-changing brilliance.

...

"It's said the Dragon Palace is the wealthiest in the world, the ancient saying doesn't deceive..." Wang Xiaowan murmured.

In Tonglin County, a piece of pure yellow tourmaline can sell for several dozen or even a hundred coins, while the Dragon Palace's tourmaline stones...

By the seat!

Several, even dozens of mountains worth of tourmaline!

Of varying colors, pure and lustrous, beautifully radiant.

Truly... breathtaking...

Staying for too long could make one numb to the concept of wealth.

Lu Zheng previously offhandedly asked why there was no gold or silver, and the answer was...

Too vulgar!

Thinking of Western fantasy movies where dragon lairs are filled with gold and silver treasures, Lu Zheng couldn't help but sigh; they truly lost the "dragon" face!
