As everyone knew, the Tang, Song, Yuan, Ming, and Qing Dynasties, even elementary school children knew that after the Tang Dynasty, it was naturally the Song Dynasty. There was a little-known part of history that had been ruthlessly sealed into the ruts of history without leaving a trace. Its name was the Dragon Dynasty.
As the name implied, the Emperor of the Dragon Dynasty was surnamed Long, but it was not entirely correct.
Everyone knew that the first emperor of the Tang Dynasty was Emperor Gaozu Li Yuan, and after Emperor Taizong Li Shiming succeeded to the throne, he ushered in the Zhenguan rule. Society was stable and everything was auspicious. Empress Wu Zhao was the only female emperor in history, and she was also the emperor with the longest lifespan in the Tang Dynasty. All of this was not only because of their fortuitous encounters and good fortune, but more importantly, they had a rare treasure-the Rising Sun Cauldron.
In fact, every dynasty had the saying of alchemy and ascension, especially the Tang Dynasty. Whether it was a reigning emperor or a commoner, they all wanted to ascend to become immortals and transcend the mortal world, far away from life's birth, aging, illness, death, sorrow, and pain. However, how could the realm of ascension be so easy to achieve? Until this divine artifact appeared in the human world.
Legend had it that this Rising Sun Cauldron was an item used by Grand Supreme Elder to refine pills. The pills refined by it were all top-grade immortal pills. As the sun and moon flew, this divine artifact fell into Li Shiming's hands. Although Li Shiming, who had a divine artifact, did not refine divine medicine and immortal pills, under the protection of the divine artifact, he successfully seized the throne during the Xuanwu Sect incident. With the help of Baoding, Li Shiming was like a tiger with wings. The rule of Zhenguan made his name go down in history. With Li Shimin's death, the secret of the cauldron was sealed until Wu Zhao obtained it. Not only did Wu Zetian use the power of the cauldron to consolidate her throne, but she also accidentally refined a pill that made her the longest-lived emperor of the Tang Dynasty.
As the saying goes, misfortune and fortune depend on each other! The emperors of the past did not want others to know their secrets, so only Li Shiming and Wu Zhao knew about the existence of the tripod. Their deaths also caused the tripod to disappear and be buried underground. Without the protection of the tripod, the Tang Dynasty immediately fell into internal and external troubles. Although the emperors had tried to bring order out of chaos, they had always ended in failure. Until the death of the last emperor, Li Zhu, the Tang Dynasty was completely over.
However, a divine artifact was a divine artifact after all. How could it endure not seeing the light of day for hundreds of years? Just as the Tang Dynasty's lifeline was exhausted, the tripod reappeared in the world again, bringing about a change in personnel.
The rising sun and the tripod were not originally from the pool. When they met the light of the sky, they turned into dragons. After absorbing the essence of the sun and moon, the cauldron gradually gained its own consciousness. Its immortal energy rose sharply, and it actually used the things around it to refine immortal pills. After the immortal pills were absorbed by the mortals, animals, and plants passing by, they all underwent mysterious changes. The person who consumed the immortal pill was reborn and could actually use the Qimen Dunjia technique. His body was no longer as fragile as a mortal's flesh and bones, and he could resist natural and man-made disasters. Animals and plants cultivated into monsters and transformed into human forms to resist the Three Paths Reincarnation. Immortal pills had different effects due to various obsessions. As good and evil were distinguished, the battle between righteous and demonic demons followed.
Baoding knew that he had caused a great disaster, so he condensed all his immortal energy into a peerless immortal pill and gave it to Long Shang'e, a righteous man at that time, so that she could correct this distorted world on his behalf. As for the cauldron, it chose to sleep again. It hoped that when it woke up, the world would have returned to peace, with flowers blooming and all things reviving.
Although Long Shang'e was a woman, she was extremely talented. With the help of the immortal pill, she quickly cultivated the body of a half-immortal. She used her supreme magic power to change this broken world.
Many righteous people also responded to Long Shang 'e and helped her pacify the monsters. Gradually, the people from the demonic sects were suppressed, but the righteous people were also greatly injured. At this time, the spiritual monsters took advantage of the situation and massacred innocent humans. In order to preserve the peace of the world, Long Shang'e did not hesitate to self-detonate her vital essence and unleash the spiritual power of the immortal pill to the extreme, forming an invisible barrier that isolated the monsters and beasts in three realms: White Spirit Mountain, the Valley of Ten Thousand Beasts, and the Primal Graveyard.
Although Long Shang'e was disbanded, she gave birth to a spirit child before her death and became the new line of defense for the righteous sects. The capital was built in Chang 'an. In order to commemorate Long Shang'e's great deeds, the people changed the year title to " Dragon " and Chang' an to " Dragon City ".
Hundreds of years had passed, and the ruler of Dragon City had not failed his mission. He had used his own Taoist skills and immortal techniques to match his wisdom and strategy to restore the society to an orderly vitality. Farmers work at sunrise and rest at sunset. Merchants invested in building houses, and all kinds of businesses competed like flowers in the early spring.
Of course, it was impossible for Dragon City to do so alone. The righteous factions had been assisting Dragon City to suppress the commotion of the demonic path. The Shu Dao Sacred Mountain and the Kunlun Sacred Mountain were guarding the White Spirit Mountain in the southwest and the Hundred Beasts Valley in the southeast respectively. The Ancient Temple of Solitary Words in the west was assisting Dragon City in guarding the Primal Graveyard. The Absolute Stone Valley, the Rain-listening Pavilion on the Perching Mountain, the Diancang Mansion, the Sanskrit Dance Arena, and the Merciful Boathouse were also monitoring the Demon Sect's Northern Mang Mountain, the Black Demon Valley, and the Soul Breaking Cliff. Although the righteous sects had always suppressed the demonic sects, they had also done their best. With the frequent activities of the demonic sects, the righteous sects had also strengthened their elite training.
In the southeast of Dragon City, there was a small town known for its delicacies. It was called 'Great Food Town.' The villagers here loved to specialize in the art of delicacies, and their attainments in food were even more superb. Even the officials and nobles in Dragon City and its surroundings were willing to come to taste the delicacies. The Pinling Restaurant was a mythical restaurant in the Great Food Town. There was a magical chef, Jin Ling. Not only did she look like a fairy, but her skills were also amazing. Everyone called her Madam Jin Ling. Although she didn't allow anyone to watch her cooking and only asked her child, who was only in her early fifties, to help her, every dish was completed on time, in quality, and in quantity. Moreover, it was flawless and delicious.
At the end of spring and the summer solstice, the people of Arabian Town were all smiling happily because they knew that the annual Heavenly Palace Cuisine Competition was about to begin. Although every chef who came from all over the world would be defeated by Madam Golden Bell, everyone was still full of anticipation and hope because they could see all kinds of dishes and craftsmanship, as well as the only chance for Madam Golden Bell to publicly perform. At the same time, everyone also hoped that a rising star could defeat Madam Jin Ling and change this unchanging ending.
"Shopkeeper Qin, have you prepared the things my mother ordered?”
A crisp and familiar voice mixed with the noisy hawking sounds on the street forced its way into Qin Tianhe's medicinal herb shop. Qin Tianhe turned around and saw a well-dressed, handsome, and heroic boy who was blushing. Although he was only in his early fifties, his strong figure and tall figure could not be hidden under his short shirt.
"Oh, so it's Little Xu!" Qin Tianhe greeted him with a smile when he saw Han Xu, the son of Lady Jin Ling.
"Hurry, hurry, my mother is getting anxious. If it's too late, she'll teach me a lesson again.”Speaking of his mother, Han Xu seemed a little nervous.
"Northwest Black-Bone Snake, Aweto, South Border Wolfberry, Soul Mountain Cicada…Why did your mother order these strange things?”Qin Tianhe passed the herbs to Han Xu while testing him, hoping to get some information.
"There's no need to order. Mother said that she trusted you, so she asked you to do something. However, hehe!" " This is the Immortal in the Mist that my mother brewed. It's a gift to Shopkeeper Qin. At the same time, regarding our purchase of medicinal herbs, please…" Han Xu said with a wicked smile.
Upon hearing the name of the wine, Qin Tianhe snatched the 'Fairy in the Mist' before Han Xu could finish his sentence and held it in his hands with a face full of joy.
"I know, I know. Madam Jin Ling has never taken care of this shop. Xiao Xu, you're just here to deliver wine to a drunkard like me.”
Hearing this, Han Xu shrugged and smiled. He put down an ingot of silver and said goodbye. He grabbed the medicinal herbs and ran towards the Bell House. Qin Tianhe didn't even bother to clean up. He held the pot of Immortal in Mist in his hands, as if he was already drunk without drinking it.
"Mother, I've brought the thing!"
Han Xu pushed open the kitchen door, and the sunlight shone in wantonly. All kinds of knives were neatly placed in front of chopping boards of different sizes. All kinds of ingredients were distributed around the kitchen, making it look empty and clean. A beautiful woman in simple and elegant clothes sat in the middle of the kitchen. Her eyes were slightly closed as she sipped the fragrant tea. The sunlight scattered on her face, making her look clean and beautiful. Such a scene was as sacred and beautiful as a fairy in a painting.
"You're back. Close the door!" The woman slowly opened her eyes, her voice calm and gentle.
"En, Shopkeeper Qin is really efficient. He said that he would get it in ten days. It's all for the sake of Madam Jinling!”Han Xu smiled evilly.
"Heh, damn brat, you're looking for a beating. Your mother doesn't have that kind of charm, and this is all because of this Immortal in the Mist.”
Han Xu glanced at the big wine jar in the corner and frowned."Isn't it just a pot of wine? Is there a need to be so excited? I think you're better!”After saying that, he smiled evilly at Madam Jin Ling.
"Hmph, that's because you have me as your mother. Otherwise, how could you drink such precious wine? It's an immortal wine that can revive flesh and bones!”
"I know, because you are the head disciple of the Green Shadow Gorge. This wine was made by you. Others don't know, but I know very well. If I were to use your treasure, I would be able to brew it too.”
"Little Rascal, I'll pass this treasure to you sooner or later. You'd better study cooking properly!”
"I'll keep my word!"
"Yes, as long as you activate all of the Jinling Treasure Tome, I will pass the treasure to you.”
" But, I made so many dishes for it, but it only reacted to the Immortal in the Mist. It was very angry…"
"That's because your other dishes aren't cooked enough. Alright, help me cook. You can study the book slowly tonight!”
Hearing his mother's instructions, Han Xu could only curl his lips and roll up his sleeves.
After dinner, Han Xu returned to his bedroom early and started studying an ancient book under his pillow. Although it was called an ancient book, it was actually quite exquisite. Silver foil was used to wrap the entire book tightly, and the name was plated with gold paint. The words "Jinling Treasure Book" were glowing with an unusual light. This book had been in Han Xu's hands for half a year, but only the first page had the method of the Immortal in the Fog. The rest of the book was blank. Little Han Xu did not find it strange. He knew that this was the divine weapon of his mother's sect. Although his mother did not tell him everything about the sect, he, who was talented and intelligent, gradually saw some clues. His mother was not an ordinary person.
