Chapter 1274 - 1271: Third Princess, Underground Spirit Vein

The square illuminated by the Yuan Stone crystal lights is filled with young boys and girls admiring the exotic flowers and grasses nearby, chatting and laughing. From their attire and demeanor, it is evident that these people are extraordinary.

Luo Feng noticed a graceful figure dressed in a red gown to his left front.

The girl’s features were exquisite, her fiery red dress adorned with rare Red Crystal Prism Stones, exuding luxury and elegance, like a flickering flame in the night. Yet, the arrogance and superiority in her brows slightly dimmed her radiance.

"Luo Feng, that’s Chi Wei, the Third Princess of the Dali Dynasty. Want to go and introduce yourself? The one beside her is Princess Mingyin of the Frost Wind Dynasty... these princesses are all very curious about you."

Elder Hai noticed Luo Feng’s gaze and immediately introduced them with a smile.

Luo Feng is now the Hidden Dragon Marquis of the Canglang Dynasty. Winning the heart of the Dali Dynasty’s Third Princess would surely be a story worthy of legend.

Indeed, she is Chi Wei, the Third Princess of the Dali Dynasty.

Luo Feng’s gaze flickered, then he retracted his sight and shook his head expressionlessly:

"No need, let’s go."

Elder Hai, being perceptive, could see that Luo Feng and Jiang Fengfeng probably had known each other for a while, and might have had some unpleasant encounters.

Since Luo Feng was unwilling to elaborate, Elder Hai didn’t inquire further, nodded, and led Luo Feng deeper into the palace.

"Oh, who is that young man, to warrant Elder Hai’s personal guidance?"

"Judging by the age, he is about the same as us. Could it be the recently well-known first New Dragon of the Six Southern Domains, the current Hidden Dragon Marquis Luo Feng?"

"Oh, why isn’t he coming over? I wanted to see this legendary figure. I heard he entered the Golden Palace only half a year ago, but who knows if it’s true."

"Hehe, Lingling, looking at your lovestruck expression, it seems you want more than just a glimpse."

"I do not!"

As the group enjoyed their play, many noticed Luo Feng, sparking lively debates.

A few young girls were teasing each other, the sweet scent of perfume wafting, amidst a scene filled with songs and swallows, captivating nearby boys who couldn’t help but feel envious of Luo Feng.

Chi Wei lifted her gaze, noticing Luo Feng’s retreating figure, her slender brows slightly furrowing, a chill gleaming in her eyes.

"Chi Wei, what’s wrong? Do you know him?"

Beside her, a tall and handsome young man asked with concern.

Chi Wei slowly exhaled, shaking her head, "Nothing."

Though she spoke such words, Chi Wei’s heart was stirred into ripples.

She was certain the young man was Luo Feng; previously, when she heard the first New Dragon of this year’s New Dragon List was Luo Feng, she had doubted the accuracy.

After all, half a year ago, during their first meeting, he was merely at the Five Spiritual Rotation Realm; in just half a year, how could he have grown to such an extent?

The current sight and information confirmed the truth of the matter.

The once obscure young boy had, in just half a year, become the renowned first New Dragon of the entire Canglang Dynasty, known to all, and even in the Dali Dynasty, his name resounded.

Remembering the time Luo Feng saved Qing Ling from her presence, Chi Wei’s red lips tightened slightly.

Since childhood, she received whatever she desired, never having suffered such humiliation before.

The matter, naturally, could not end this way.

The handsome and tall young man beside her noticed Chi Wei’s expression, his gaze shifting thoughtfully.

The royal palace is divided into two areas by a towering city wall, over ten yards high, beneath which runs a man-made river, with only a magnificent bridge allowing access. Armored guards fill the top of the wall, with strong bows and crossbows drawn, patrolling diligently, forming a strict lookout—viewed from afar, it resembles a city within a city.

Following Elder Hai, Luo Feng crossed the bridge, passing through the wall unimpeded, and soon, a grand palace appeared in sight.

The entire palace was fashioned from jade and glaze, adorned with reliefs of various auspicious beasts, conveying an atmosphere of majesty and mystery. On the plaque above the main door, ’Canglan Palace’ was inscribed grandly in golden characters.

"Luo Feng, this is His Majesty’s residence. Please enter." Elder Hai paused before the Canglan Palace without the intention to go in.

Luo Feng nodded and stepped inside, immediately spotting the Second Prince.

"Congratulations on ascending the throne, Your Majesty." Luo Feng saluted.

"Luo Feng, there’s no need for such formality between us."

Having ascended to power, the Second Prince exuded warmth, addressing Luo Feng, "Come with me, the entrance to the Yuan Spirit Vein is within."

"Alright."

Luo Feng, feeling eager, followed the Second Prince into a side hall, a vast open space with only some swords on the weapon rack beside, resembling a training ground.

"Here..."

Upon entering the side hall, Luo Feng instantly sensed the abnormal Yuan Qi here: the underground Yuan Qi pulse was immensely strong but couldn’t rise to the surface, as if confined by an invisible force.

"There is a formation set here; it can only be opened by a Royal Token along with royal blood."

The Second Prince smiled lightly, directly proceeding to the center of the hall, taking out a dragon-shaped token. His gaze tensed, and a blood arrow erupted at the tip of his forefinger.

Buzz!

As the blood stained the dragon-shaped token, it slightly trembled, its dragon carvings’ eyes suddenly bursting with piercing blood light, a dragon-shaped stream spiraling out, circling the Spirit Mirror.

"Dragon Vein Qi!"

Luo Feng drew a deep breath, his heart pounding.

Though small, this dragon-shaped stream was indistinguishable from the Dragon Vein Qi he felt on the Group Dragon Island!

"Open!"

The Second Prince’s eyes gleamed, suddenly pressing the dragon-shaped token into the center of the hall.

Boom! Boom!

The moment the dragon-shaped token pressed the ground, the entire hall trembled fiercely, with two loud noises, as two giant pillars rose in the center.

Made from some unknown material, the pillars were neither pure gold nor wood, entirely glowing with a radiant spectrum, weaving into a seven-colored light gate, emitting fine brilliance.

"What astonishing Yuan Qi fluctuation!"

The moment the light gate appeared, Luo Feng instantly felt surging Yuan Qi flowing from it, vast and endless, pure and unmatched, making his True Yuan stir, thinking inwardly: No wonder every King’s cultivation advances rapidly upon ascending, with such a cultivation treasure.

"Luo Feng, this is the entrance to the medium-sized Yuan Spirit Vein of Azure Sky City." The Second Prince stood up and addressed Luo Feng.

Luo Feng withdrew his gaze from the light gate and looked at the Second Prince, cupping his hand, "Thank you."

Undoubtedly, this seems to be the Canglang Dynasty King’s cultivation ground; in this power-preeminent world, it could even be said to be the foundation of the royal family. The Second Prince’s willingness to lead him here shows trust.

"Haha, compared to your favor to me, this is nothing. If you consider me a friend, don’t offer thanks."

The Second Prince chuckled, adding, "Moreover, as the Hidden Dragon Marquis, the stronger your power, the greater our Canglang Dynasty’s glory."

Luo Feng nodded, everything unspoken yet understood.

"Although I don’t know what you’re going to train for, it should be important. I wish you success. I’ve ordered for your unrestricted access to the palace; if tiresome during training, feel free to explore. The palace’s scenery won’t disappoint you."

"Alright, then I’ll head in."

Luo Feng nodded, without further words, took a deep breath, and stepped into the light gate.

Buzz!

The moment he entered, Luo Feng’s vision was immediately engulfed in white light.

The experience seemed lengthy yet instantaneous; his body relaxed as he regained footing, his gaze sweeping across to reveal a stone chamber.

The chamber was only ten meters across, devoid of anything except the light gate that brought him here, but the air was dense with floating light dots, signaling immensely concentrated Yuan Qi.

"What a wonderful place."

With an exclamation, recalling his trip’s purpose, Luo Feng promptly sat cross-legged, releasing his Soul Power.
