Behind him followed a large, emaciated black dog.
"The Celestial Hound?!"
When Li Yao saw the big black dog, he blurted out.
"The Celestial Hound?"
Yang Jian was taken aback upon hearing this, and quickly frowned, saying, "Master, do you recognize this dog? Is it called Xiaotianquan?"
"Where did you get this dog?"
Li Yao did not answer Yang Jian's question.
"I found it by the roadside. I felt so sorry for it, so I brought it home."
Yang Jian explained.
It must be said that the Yang Jian in this world was greatly influenced by his father, Yang Tianyou, and was very kind-hearted.
I saw a stray dog and brought it home.
"By the way, Master, you just called this dog 'Howling Celestial Dog,' do you recognize this dog?"
Yang Jian asked curiously.
"I don't recognize it, but I feel that this dog has an extraordinary bone structure and the potential to roar to the heavens."
Li Yao made it up on the spot.
Lingling, who was standing nearby, couldn't help but burst out laughing. "A dog, and you call that extraordinary? You're really exaggerating!"
However, Yang Jian's heart stirred, and he looked up at the sky, "Roaring across the nine heavens, Howling Celestial Dog, good, this name is excellent!"
As he spoke, he bent down and squatted down, patted the big black dog's head, and said, "From today onwards, your name will be Xiaotianquan!"
The big black dog seemed to understand human nature and nodded obediently.
Li Yao's lips twitched.
Could it be that he named the Celestial Hound of this world?
"Yang Jian, since Xiaotianquan is so destined for you, I will let him transform into human form and stay by your side from now on!"
Li Yao decided to help Xiaotian Dog.
"Woof woof woof..."
The Celestial Hound seemed to understand Li Yao's words and barked excitedly.
It was naturally happy to be able to transform into human form.
"Master, can you really make the Celestial Hound transform into human form?"
Yang Jian asked in surprise.
If Xiaotianquan could really transform into human form, he would have one more person to talk to in the future.
"It's so easy, look!"
Li Yao smiled slightly, flicked his right finger, and a golden light shot out, piercing into the top of the Howling Celestial Dog's head.
The next moment, something magical happened.
A burst of white light exploded out, extremely dazzling.
When the white light dissipated, a man dressed in black, with disheveled hair, lay on the ground like a dog, on his hands and feet.
"The Celestial Hound has truly become a person!"
Yang Jian exclaimed excitedly.
"Woof, woof, woof..."
The Celestial Hound straightened up, holding his hands upright.
He looked at his body, feeling both surprised and excited.
He never imagined that he would actually become a person.
However, since he had just become human, he couldn't speak human language yet and could only bark.
“He has just turned into human form and can’t speak human language yet. You can teach him to speak human language.”
Li Yao gave Yang Jian a reminder.
"Understood, Master!"
Yang Jian nodded.
Then, he asked curiously, "Master, didn't you say you were taking my third sister out to find a magical artifact? Have you found it yet?"
"Of course we found it!"
Li Yao chuckled softly, looked at Yang Chan, and said, "Yang Chan, take out your Lotus Lantern and let your second brother take a look!"
Yang Chan nodded.
Immediately, she reached out and drew a golden light, and a jade lamp of emerald green appeared in her palm, spinning continuously.
"This is the magic weapon you found?"
Yang Jian stared at the Lotus Lantern, his eyes filled with surprise.
"Yes, it's called the Lotus Lantern, a magical artifact once used by the goddess Nuwa!"
Yang Chan smiled and said.
"A magical artifact used by the goddess Nuwa?"
"That must be amazing!"
Yang Jian exclaimed excitedly.
He was genuinely happy for his third sister that she had obtained such a powerful magical artifact.
"Actually, your third eye is also very powerful. As long as you can use it at will, it will bring you unexpected surprises!"
"Therefore, you must practice using the third eye properly."
Li Yao gave Yang Jian a reminder.
"Understood, Master!"
Yang Jian nodded.
"You are indeed lacking a suitable weapon!"
"But it doesn't matter, you will soon have a weapon that is very suitable for you."
The image of the three-headed dragon came to mind for Li Yao.
The Three-Headed Dragon, although he doesn't have many scenes, is indeed a crucial character in the prequel world of The Lotus Lantern.
In the original storyline, Yang Jian's mother, Yao Ji, descended to the mortal realm to capture the three-headed dragon.
The Three-Headed Dragon can be considered the matchmaker between Yao Ji and Yang Tianyou.
It was the three-headed dragon that indirectly brought the two of them together, and they had three siblings: Yang Jiao, Yang Jian, and Yang Chan.
Only then did the story of Yang Jian splitting Peach Mountain to save his mother come about.
Later, the three-headed dragon was subdued by Yang Jian and became his weapon: the three-pointed double-edged sword.
Therefore, the Three-Headed Dragon is a key figure in driving the entire prequel story of Lotus Lantern.
I wonder where that three-headed dragon is hiding now.
"What kind of weapon is that, Master?"
Yang Jian asked with great curiosity.
You'll find out then.
Li Yao smiled mysteriously.
"Master, you seem to know many things. Are you a reclusive master with the ability to know the past and foresee the future?"
Yang Jian asked curiously.
Yang Chan, who was standing to the side, also looked at Li Yao with great curiosity.
"Don't ask unnecessary questions!"
Li Yao still smiled mysteriously.
"oh!"
Yang Jian and his sister were somewhat disappointed.
"Alright, you two stay here and cultivate in peace. Your master and I will go out for a stroll. If anything happens, you can have Kui Zhao let me know!"
Li Yao took out a talisman from the ring space, activated the incantation, and transformed the talisman into a summoning spirit, which he left in the cave.
Yang Jian and his sister had already seen Kui Zhao before, so they were no longer surprised.
Afterwards, Li Yao took Xiaobai and Linglong and left Wuji Cave.
Now that he has come to a world that combines the Investiture of the Gods and Journey to the West, he certainly won't miss out on the various magical treasures from both worlds.
In particular, Yun Zhongzi, under the instruction of Yuanshi Tianzun, deliberately provoked him.
Therefore, he didn't need to be polite to Yuanshi Tianzun.
He took Xiaobai and Linglong and challenged the Twelve Golden Immortals one by one, taking the opportunity to copy the magic weapons in their hands and obtain the various attributes dropped by them, thus making a fortune.
Of course, he didn't spare the disciples of the Tongtian Sect either, in addition to the disciples of the Chan Sect.
Chapter 685 Zhen Yuanzi, Ancestor of Earthly Immortals
Over the next year, Li Yao took Xiaobai and Linglong on a trip, traveling around and enjoying the scenery.
They challenged the famous disciples of the Chan and Jie sects one by one, exploiting them and copying their magical weapons.
The Twelve Golden Immortals of the Chan Sect, as well as Duobao Daoren, Jinling Shengmu, Wudang Shengmu, Guiling Shengmu, Zhao Gongming, the Three Immortal Maidens (siblings) of the Jie Sect, Shiji Niangniang, and so on.
