#2065 - Sacrifice to the Dragon King of the Well (Part 1)
Any random lake is countless times larger than a well.
The setup of a Well Dragon King didn't exist in the Heavens Era.
In the Heavens Era, people are already fighting like dogs.
Battles are everywhere, except perhaps in the areas occupied by the Chaos Gods, where the scale of conflict is smaller.
In other areas not occupied by the Chaos Gods, constant warfare is an understatement.
This is especially true for the regions and forces of the original inhabitants of the Heavens!
The derogatory term 'natives' reveals that the original inhabitants of the Heavens don't actually hold a high position.
Not only do the Chaos Gods call them natives, but so do outsiders like the Strange race, and others, who habitually refer to them as such.
Of course, they would never dare to call them that when their strength is inferior.
When their strength is inferior, they naturally learn to speak politely.
This is generally the case for all living beings, especially in the law of the jungle where the strong prey on the weak.
Relatively speaking, the Dragon race's status in the Heavens Era is both better and worse than in the ancient Primordial Era.
Although the statement seems contradictory, it reflects the true situation.
Although the Dragon race in the ancient Primordial Era had been in decline since the Dragon-Han Initial Tribulation,
the presence of the Four Seas Dragon Kings and the Heavenly Court's deterrence meant that no cultivator would openly attack them.
In other words, although life was tough, they didn't have to worry about their lives.
In contrast, the situation in the Heavens Era is different; their lives are not as difficult.
However, because the Dragon race is a treasure trove of resources, almost no cultivator would let them go.
Using them as mounts is prestigious, and some cultivators even create a Nine-Dragon Chariot...
If not as mounts, their corpses can be turned into puppets, dragon scales, dragon tendons, and so on, each with its own use.
This is the biggest difference in the Dragon race's situation between the two eras.
Qin Buyi dived into the well below.
The well water was very cold, exuding a trace of Yin Qi.
This Yin Qi seemed to be enveloped in a trace of corpse Qi!
At the deepest part of the well, Qin Buyi saw three crookedly written characters: 'Well Dragon Palace'.
Seeing these three characters, he couldn't help but smile wryly.
The space at the bottom was only a few hundred square meters, yet it still wanted to show off its grandeur.
"Indeed, living beings always need face, no matter when."
The three characters 'Well Dragon Palace' were written with truly poor taste.
Qin Buyi waved his hand and erased them, rewriting them again.
Looking at the new 'Well Dragon Palace' characters, they were much more pleasing to the eye this time.
Just then, the Dragon Palace gate opened, and a young man ran out.
"Halt! Who are you, daring to be presumptuous in my Well Dragon Palace!"
Qin Buyi: "..."
His current identity should be known to everyone in the Primordial Era, how could there still be someone who doesn't recognize him...
But looking at this Dragon race before him, it really seemed like he didn't recognize him.
Thinking of this, he couldn't help but say, "Little Dragon, you don't recognize me?"
"What little dragon, my name is Long Jing! Why should I know you!"
Long Jing said with a proud face, obviously not having experienced the beatings of society.
Hearing the other party's name, Qin Buyi's expression became even more complicated.
Long Jing... as a Blue Star person, what he thought of wasn't the Dragon race, but a certain type of tea.
The Well Dragon King's name is Long Jing, how reasonable!
Seeing that Qin Buyi didn't speak, Long Jing turned his head and saw that the three 'Well Dragon Palace' characters he had painstakingly written had been erased and rewritten.
Well... he had to admit, the writing was better than his!
However, he couldn't admit this, so he pretended to speak unkindly, "You dare to erase the three characters I painstakingly wrote and replace them with your own handwriting, you are truly shameless!"
Qin Buyi didn't blame Long Jing's rudeness; analyzing this matter from his perspective, it was just a small episode.
With his current status, if he were to still argue with someone like Long Jing, it would seem like his perspective was too small.
Qin Buyi looked at Long Jing with a smile that was not a smile and said, "Do you know that in the Primordial Era, there are many living beings who want me to personally inscribe words for them, but they can't even get through the door."
Long Jing sized Qin Buyi up and down, his eyes filled with suspicion, "I can't believe that a guy with such profound cultivation like you would also make such wild claims, you are truly shameless!"
"I could also say that there are as many people as there are hairs on an ox in the Primordial Era who want me to inscribe words for them, but someone would have to believe it!"
Qin Buyi smiled wryly in his heart; this ignorant little dragon really lived up to the description of a greenhorn.
"Have you ever left this Well Dragon Palace to go to the outside world?"
Long Jing shook his head and said, "What's the point of going to the outside world? It's full of guys stronger than me, isn't it better for me to stay here honestly."
As a dragon, he was very much a couch potato.
Not striving for progress was not enough to describe him.
This was completely a dragon who stayed at home in the well.
He never cared about any disturbances in the outside world.
Anyway, even if the sky fell, it wouldn't have much to do with him; he would still be the Well Dragon King.
Even though the place wasn't big, at least this one-third of an acre was all his to command.
Hearing Long Jing's answer, Qin Buyi immediately stopped saying anything; he changed the subject and said, "Aren't you going to invite me in for a sit?"
Long Jing said, "Seeing as you are quite polite, I will reluctantly entertain you."
That being said, he couldn't hide the joy in his tone.
He had been alone here for so long.
He couldn't even find someone to talk to, and he was staying at home.
In Blue Star terms, this was called social anxiety; he would always subconsciously avoid facing the outside world.
Now that someone had finally come who was willing to communicate with him, he naturally couldn't ask for more.
And so, Qin Buyi lived in the Well Dragon Palace for a full three years.
Long Jing never mentioned asking him to leave, and even wished that Qin Buyi would stay longer...
During these three years, many of his cultivation problems were easily solved by Qin Buyi.
The longer he spent with Qin Buyi, the more Long Jing could feel the other party's extraordinary nature.
"Daoist Qin, who exactly are you?"
Facing Long Jing's question, Qin Buyi said, "When the time comes in the future, you will naturally know."
Long Jing curled his lips and said, "Guys like you whose cultivation can't be seen through always speak vaguely."
Suddenly, a 'plop' sound came from above the Well Dragon Palace.
Unlike the sound of ordinary mortals drawing water from above, this was the sound of a heavy object falling.
Long Jing's face suddenly lit up, and he looked at Qin Buyi and said, "Hehe, I've lived here for so many years, these mortals have finally remembered to worship this dragon, hahaha!"
Qin Buyi: "..."
He really wanted to ask Long Jing where he saw the worship.
Or where he analyzed the source of the worship from.
Most mortals worshiping Dragon Kings occurs in rivers, lakes, or coastal areas.
