"Senior Brother Nanhua, what just happened was indeed Brother Zhuang's fault. I hope, for the sake of our fellowship, you won't hold it against him."
Feigning detachment, Venerable Feiyao sought to distance himself from the incident.
Ji Haoyuan, of course, perceived Venerable Feiyao's intention.
To be honest, since Venerable Feiyao refrained from acting against him earlier, he wouldn't plan on dealing with him further.
However, likewise.
Expecting him to maintain a friendly demeanor towards Venerable Feiyao was, of course, impossible.
He calmly said, "Junior Feiyao, do you have any other matters to discuss?
If not, then I shall take my leave."
Venerable Feiyao, though still under the influence of the corruption.
Was nevertheless deeply shocked by the strength Ji Haoyuan had just displayed.
Thus, he tactfully nodded and said:
"I have nothing else, Senior Brother Nanhua, you're busy."
Having said that, he made no attempt to linger longer, and after giving Ji Haoyuan a respectful bow, he turned and left.
Watching Venerable Feiyao's figure disappear, Ji Haoyuan paid him no more attention but focused entirely on the Dragon Silver Carp before him.
It was apparent that this Dragon Silver Carp had already reached the final stage of its dragon transformation.
Whether it would succeed next depended on this crucial moment.
Thinking of this, Ji Haoyuan felt a slight stirring in his heart.
"Very well, let me lend you a hand."
With those words, Ji Haoyuan drew an object from his person.
It was none other than the fifth-tier treasure he had acquired earlier, the Dragon Patterned Cloud Umbrella.
Crafted from materials like Dragon Bone and Dragon Tendon.
While its materials weren't the pinnacle of excellence, they had been refined over many years, and the aura of the Dragon Race imbued within was considerable.
By letting the Dragon Silver Carp refine it, and even perhaps devour its core material, it might be able to give it a substantial boost.
With this thought, Ji Haoyuan hesitated no longer.
He tossed it up with a flick of his hand.
The Dragon Patterned Cloud Umbrella immediately plunged into the silver light sphere.
Buzz!
At that moment, Ji Haoyuan distinctly sensed a surge of intense excitement emanating from within the silver light sphere.
Perhaps this Dragon Silver Carp was lacking just such a catalyst.
Not long after Ji Haoyuan sent the Dragon Patterned Cloud Umbrella into the silver light sphere.
A cloud of tribulation suddenly manifested in the sky.
Bands of lightning flashed within it.
That was unmistakably the Dragon Transformation Thunder Tribulation for this Dragon Silver Carp.
Seeing this, Ji Haoyuan felt a considerable weight lifted from his heart.
He knew that all the Dragon Silver Carp needed to do next was to endure the Dragon Transformation Thunder Tribulation, and it would successfully transform into a dragon, truly attaining its dragon form.
As for whether it could withstand the Dragon Transformation Thunder Tribulation, Ji Haoyuan felt fairly confident.
After all, based on his earlier perception, the Dragon Patterned Cloud Umbrella he entrusted to the Dragon Silver Carp wasn't devoured but was instead refined into its own Magical Treasure.
With such a treasure guarding it, the Dragon Silver Carp's odds of passing the Dragon Transformation Thunder Tribulation would exceed eighty percent.
And, as expected, Ji Haoyuan's predictions proved accurate.
The Dragon Transformation Thunder Tribulation inflicted some injuries on the Dragon Silver Carp, but with the Dragon Patterned Cloud Umbrella acting as protection, the Dragon Silver Carp itself wasn't seriously harmed.
On the contrary.
As time continued to pass, a faint spiritual glow began to shimmer on the Dragon Patterned Cloud Umbrella.
That was a sign of the awakening of the spirituality of a Spiritual Treasure.
As for the Dragon Silver Carp, its fish body that had been only several zhang long rapidly began to extend and expand.
In the end.
Its body enlarged directly into a dragon body a thousand zhang long.
Its entire being glimmered with a silvery-gray light.
Atop its dragon head, two silver Dragon Horns, which only a True Dragon would possess, emerged.
Seeing this, a smile of delight appeared on Ji Haoyuan's face.
This Dragon Silver Carp indeed did not disappoint him.
Not only did it succeed in transforming into a dragon, it became a Five-clawed Silver Dragon with five claws on its belly.
This truly belonged to the class of True Dragons.
In the future, it held the potential to achieve Mahayana, perhaps even ascend to immortality.
This meant that from this moment on, Ji Haoyuan would have by his side a companion with the potential to attain Mahayana, or even immortality, loyal to him unequivocally.
"Roar!"
And just then, the silver dragon in the sky let out a resounding dragon roar.
The sound was filled with excitement and joy.
The next moment, its huge dragon body shook, and in the blink of an eye, it diminished from a thousand zhang to a hundred zhang, and swiftly flew towards Ji Haoyuan.
"Haha, congratulations."
Ji Haoyuan reached out and cheerfully patted its proffered dragon head.
There was no sense of estrangement between them at all.
On the contrary, he could clearly see from its dragon eyes the affection it expressed towards him.
The large and small forms stared at each other for a moment.
Ji Haoyuan suddenly smiled and said, "From now on, you'll be called Ji Yinxuan, sharing my surname, how does that sound?"
"Ji Yinxuan, Ji Yinxuan..."
From the silver dragon's mouth came a voice that sounded almost like agreement.
It repeated the name Ji Haoyuan had given several times.
Subsequently, it excitedly nodded towards Ji Haoyuan.
"Good, I will henceforth be called Ji Yinxuan.
Thank you, master, for the name!"
All things considered, the current Ji Yinxuan, having just transformed into a dragon.
This was akin to a human infant.
Though not completely without intelligence, its intelligence likely equated to that of a seven or eight-year-old child.
At this juncture, having just received a new name, it was akin to receiving a new life; naturally, its heart was filled with inexpressible excitement.
"Come, master, let me take you to a wonderful place."
After a while.
Ji Yinxuan suddenly seemed to recall something, unable to contain its excitement, and spoke to Ji Haoyuan.
Ji Haoyuan's eyebrows slightly arched, intrigued.
Could it be that this creature knew of some treasures within this Little Profound Realm?
Thinking it through, it didn't seem that strange after all.
The creature, as a being native to this realm, though living primarily in aquatic environments, surely had traversed many areas.
Perhaps, along the way, it did indeed come across some fascinating things.
At the moment, he wasn't polite with Ji Yinxuan.
In a flash, he was already atop Ji Yinxuan's dragon head.
"Roar!"
Hearing Ji Yinxuan let out another resonant dragon roar.
The dragon's body, now reduced to a hundred zhang in length, instantly reverted to its thousand-zhang form and flew rapidly in a certain direction.
"Yinxuan, what exactly is at the wonderful place you mentioned, do you still remember now?"
Along the way.
Ji Haoyuan couldn't resist asking Ji Yinxuan curiously.
Hearing this, Ji Yinxuan unhesitatingly replied in a somewhat youthful voice:
"What it is, I can't say for sure now.
But I know it's definitely something valuable, without doubt.
Only, I'm not certain if that thing has already been taken in advance by someone else."
