Dragon Tamer - Chapter 1295: 1299: The Length of Sunset

Chapter 1295: Chapter 1299: The Length of Sunset

…

In places abundant with spiritual energy, any planted vegetation has a very brief maturity period, especially if one makes good use of the special Spirit Sea Spring, where even a small sapling can grow as tall as the courtyard wall under a few days of sunlight.

The Green Spirit Pears planted by Xiao Xiao are the favorite food of the Nine-tailed Dragons, effectively solving the issue of dragon food.

However, for the Chongwang Dragons that favor large bones, one must still go to the Dragon Market on Bi Luo Island to purchase them.

As for the Little Gluttonous Dragon, to prevent it from devouring his newly acquired house and yard, Zhu Minglang could only let it hibernate for some time, relying on spiritual energy to maintain its bodily functions until the time was right to send it to a post-rain island to nibble on.

Now that he is an Inner Sect Disciple, he has the right to step into those mysterious post-rain islands.

“Junior Brother Zhu, Junior Brother Zhu.” Outside the house, a kind and gentle voice rose.

Zhu Minglang stepped out and saw Senior Sister Qiao clad in a very beautiful long silk robe and with her hair done up in a delicate style, instantly adding a few touches of vivaciousness and allure.

“Senior Sister Qiao, I was just about to look for you,” Zhu Minglang said.

“Now we are both Inner Sect Disciples… It’s a shame those two didn’t get promoted, but in the future, we can take good care of them. With their talents, they should be able to enter the inner gate soon,” said Senior Sister Qiao, her smile beaming particularly brightly.

It seems becoming an Inner Sect Disciple has put Senior Sister Qiao in a particularly good mood.

“Sister, how about we have dinner here? My little maid cooks really well, and she has her own brewed fruit wine,” Zhu Minglang invited.

“Sure… Oh, isn’t this Xiao Xiao? When I went to choose a maid, I wanted to pick Xiao Xiao too, but I didn’t expect that you would get ahead of me,” Senior Sister Qiao also recognized Xiao Xiao.

Maid Xiao Xiao gave a courtesy and didn’t dare to say much.

…

After downing some alcohol, Senior Sister Qiao quickly showed signs of tipsiness.

Zhu Minglang signaled to his little maid with a glance, indicating she was no longer needed here.

Little Maid Xiao Xiao’s eyes flashed with a hint of disdain, but she dared not disobey and left nonetheless.

Leveraging the courage from the alcohol, Zhu Minglang got straight to the point.

“Senior Sister, how did you discover that post-rain island? Is there some special method? Why didn’t the other Inner Sect Disciples and Deacons notice anything, yet you could predict it?” Zhu Minglang asked.

“That’s because I’ve used my spirit key here…” Senior Sister Qiao said, pointing to her eyes as she spoke.

Senior Sister Qiao’s eyes were indeed very beautiful, and it seemed she had put particular effort into her eyeliner and eyebrows today. With the haze of drunkenness over her, she was especially enchanting.

“Oh, you mean, you possess the special Eye of Insight?”

“Yes, but that alone is not enough. One must also master some knowledge of Feng Shui. My father is a Feng Shui master…” Senior Sister Qiao leaned in front of Zhu Minglang’s face, her breath fragrant as she spoke.

“So, finding that post-rain island wasn’t just a fluke,” Zhu Minglang said.

“Right, it’s not difficult. In fact, the Feng Shui position of that post-rain island should be ‘Lotus Tip’. The real big lotus leaf might be moving to the west with the sea’s undercurrent, if the tide is steady…” As Senior Sister Qiao spoke, she seemed to realize that she had let slip something she shouldn’t have and abruptly stopped.

In fact, she had been looking at Zhu Minglang the entire time, captivated by his handsome and pleasant smile, unintentionally revealing the secret.

“Senior Sister Qiao, don’t worry, I won’t steal your credit,” Zhu Minglang said.

“Junior Brother Zhu, that’s not what I meant. That day, if it weren’t for you asking me to look after Little Jiuwei, it would have been hard for me to get away… Did you already know that Elder Hu was plotting against me?” Qiao Caiqing said in a soft voice.

“Didn’t Senior Sister also credit me with a share of the merit? Naturally, I should look after Senior Sister in return,” Zhu Minglang said.

“Your Nine-tailed Dragon is so formidable; it truly took us all by surprise,” Qiao Caiqing said.

“What did you mean just now by ‘lotus tip’?” Zhu Minglang immediately shifted the topic to the matter at hand.

“It’s just my speculation, actually. The Raindrop Island we discovered might just be the tip of the iceberg of a much larger Raindrop Island, like how only a tiny tip of a lotus leaf pokes above the water surface. But as I said before, Raindrop Island is moving, so it’s very difficult to pinpoint its exact location unless the tides are steady or on a day when the sun’s rays are long enough…” Qiao Caiqing explained.

“Why does it have to be a day with long sunlight?” Zhu Minglang asked, puzzled.

“In geomancy, there’s a method called Sunset Observation. During the process when the sun sinks below the sea level, the Yang energy is the most potent, and the light is relatively gentle. Using the fullest Yang energy as a needle and the reflection of the setting sun on the sea surface as a sundial, and dividing them with the distribution of the five elements of Spiritual Energy as markers, one can observe the underwater situation. If the daylight hours are long enough and the Yang energy is sufficiently strong, the directions will be clear, and having a prolonged sunset process gives me enough time to discern the geomantic compass directions…” Qiao Caiqing said patiently.

“That sounds complicated. Is it a secret technique exclusive to your family?” Zhu Minglang said.

“Yes. Unfortunately, I’ve checked the solar roster, and this year, it seems no sun will linger long enough on the sea surface,” Qiao Caiqing said.

Upon hearing this, Zhu Minglang’s eyes began to twinkle.

This matter pertains to the sun; it should be easy to address!

“I have a friend who might be able to calculate on which day the sunlight will last the longest,” Zhu Minglang said.

“I can calculate that too. The stars and moons might have occasional minor changes, but the sun seldom fluctuates,” Qiao Caiqing replied.

“I’ve heard some rumors that Red Sun is a bit dissatisfied that the Emperor Elders haven’t paid it its salary for fifty years and might behave capriciously on the day it takes its turn this year,” Zhu Minglang said.

“Really?”

“It could be true.” Zhu Minglang nodded affirmatively, his gaze exceptionally firm.

“Then, we really might have a chance to find that large Raindrop Island shaped like a lotus leaf. Junior Brother, I’ll count on you to find out which day that is!”

“No problem!” Zhu Minglang’s face was filled with the smile of a strategist.

The Little Glutton only nibbled a piece of the small Raindrop Island shaped like a lotus tip, and it had already advanced to a Divine Dragon General.

If it swallowed the wealth-laden large Raindrop Island shaped like a lotus leaf, wouldn’t it soar to the skies??

The talent of the Little Gluttonous Dragon is that it doesn’t need to digest Spiritual Energy!

As long as it is fed, its Cultivation Base can skyrocket indefinitely if the quality is good or if the quantity is large enough—satisfying either one of those conditions.

And, the Little Glutton is not picky.

It eats everything!

If a Star Continent were depleted of Spiritual Energy and had little to consume, it could devour the entire Star Continent, digest it all, and absorb its Spirit Root.

Considering how rich Raindrop Island is, the largest Raindrop Island could even serve as the foundation for Divine City. If it were consumed…

In short, ascending to Divine Monarch Level would not be difficult!
