"Uncle......" Tizhen opened his mouth, but he didn't know what he could say at this time.

Yan Zheng was slightly stunned, and then a trace of embarrassment appeared on his face, "Zhen'er, uncle was a little excited for a while, I'm sorry." It's just ...... between you and Xiao Qi."

Ti Zhen smiled bitterly and shook his head, "I love him, but he doesn't love me, and that has never changed." Miss Ruyue is a good girl, she will definitely not love Ah Qi less than mine, I admit that I am indeed a little jealous of her, but ...... I also sincerely hope that Ah Qi can have the opportunity to stay with her. ”

Yan Zheng nodded, "You are also a good girl, and you will definitely meet a man who really loves you in the future." ”

"Uncle, don't talk about me, it's you...... Tomorrow you are going to help Ah Qi cross the catastrophe, you really ......" Ti Zhen stared at Yan Zheng very sadly, and his tone was a little choked.

Yan Zheng raised his hand and gently touched Ti Zhen's head, at this moment, Ti Zhen was just a junior in his eyes, a mermaid woman who was childhood sweetheart with his son, not the noble and dignified shark king in the eyes of outsiders.

A loving smile appeared on his face, and he said: "Child, don't be sad, when you become a mother one day, you will naturally understand that your uncle's choice today is without regrets." As long as you can see that your children are well, everything is worth it. ”

After a pause, Yan Zheng smiled self-deprecatingly, "What's more, I like Xiao Qi so much, not only because I love your Aunt Qin deeply, but also because the Qinglong clan can grow." In this way, my father is not so selfless, and my love for Xiao Qi is actually not as pure as your love for him. ”

Ti Zhen shook her head vigorously with red eyes, "No, don't say that. For so many years, Zhen'er has seen the bitterness in your heart. As the king of the same clan, Zhen'er can understand that you will have a lot of helplessness as a last resort for the growth of the Qinglong clan. No matter what others think of you, in Zhen'er's mind, you are a respectable king and a respectable elder. ”

"Okay, good ......" solemnly nodded with emotion, and sighed: "I think I have been solemnly romantic all my life, and I have received far more scolding than praise, and it is not in vain to be able to do something that the younger generations admire." ”

After sighing, Yan Zheng said again: "Okay, everything has been decided, now is not the time to be sad." The altar that helped Xiao Qi cross the catastrophe is still waiting for us to decorate it. ”

Ti Zhen said: "This matter is not urgent, Uncle and Kong have come from afar to leave the Divine Monarch, so let's rest first and recuperate." As for the altar, leave it to me. ”

After that, Ti Zhen had already beckoned to the maidservants and ordered them to take the two of them to the guest room to rest.

Yan Zheng wanted to say that there was no need to be so troublesome, but seeing the sad look on Ti Zhen's face that could not be concealed, he still left with the maid as good as a stream. Kongli said to Ti Zhen at this time: "Shark King, can you take a step to speak?"

Ti Zhen looked at the empty space with some doubts, but still nodded, dismissed the maids beside him, and followed him to the courtyard where no one was.

"I wonder if the Divine Monarch has any advice?" Ti Zhen asked.

Kong Li twisted his face and stared at this slightly haggard but still beautiful woman lightly, and only after a while did he ask: "The mermaid king is unwilling to hand over the dragon silk to Benjun immediately, there must be other reasons, right?"

Ti Zhen lowered his eyes slightly, a touch of helplessness crossed his face, and then replied with a wry smile: "Sure enough, everything can't be hidden from the eyes of the Divine Monarch." In fact, it was not that Xiao Wang was unwilling to hand over Long Xuan immediately, nor did he deliberately want to embarrass Mi Ling Divine Maiden and King Shura, but ...... There was actually something wrong with the dragon silk left by Aunt Qin. ”

Hearing this, Kong Li immediately frowned and asked, "What's wrong?"

"Hey!" Ti Zhen sighed, "I wonder if the Divine Monarch has ever heard that this dragon silk is actually alive?"

Kongli nodded, "I've heard of it." ”

"In the history of my merman clan, there has never been a situation like Aunt Qin and Xiao Wang, the golden scale armor left before the fall of the previous merman king will be worn on the body when the new merman king succeeds to the throne, and officially become a part of the new merman king's body. And this layer of golden scale armor belonging to the previous shark king will automatically fall off when the current shark king will also fall, and he will die completely. Ti Zhen said slowly.

Kong Li pondered for a moment, and then asked, "Could it be that if Suqin's golden scale armor does not merge with the shark king for a long time, life will pass slowly?"

Ti Zhen nodded, "That's right, Xiao Wang never knew that such a thing would happen before, but the golden scale armor left by Aunt Qin has been stored for a long time. Since about five hundred years ago, Xiao Wang has already noticed that the vitality on this golden scale armor is slowly passing away. In order to prevent it from becoming a dead thing completely, every once in a while, Xiao Wang would use his own essence blood and golden scales to bring it to life. ”

Kongli was a little stunned, "Wouldn't this be a great loss to you?"

Ti Zhen chuckled lightly and shook his head, "At the beginning, it didn't have much impact on Xiao Wang to prolong his vitality, a few drops of essence blood and a few pieces of golden scales were enough, just absorbing a cup of spiritual energy from the Spirit Gathering Pool Water could help Xiao Wang recover quickly."

But gradually, Xiao Wang found that the vitality of this golden scale armor was passing faster and faster, so the time interval between Xiao Wang's vitality changed from the initial fifty years to forty or thirty years...... Today, it has been ten years, and it is inevitable that the essence blood will be consumed once. ”

Kongli's brows became fiercely tangled, "Could it be ...... Now it's a decade that needs to give life to the Golden Scale Armor?"

Ti Zhen nodded slightly, "That's right, it's been the tenth year since the last time. ”

Kongli was silent, although he didn't know how the merman actually weaved the shark silk yarn, and he didn't know how Ti Zhen used the essence blood and golden scales to prolong the vitality of a golden scale armor, but he knew that for the relatively fragile golden sharks, plucking their golden scales was almost tantamount to cramping and peeling the skin of a mortal.

The golden shark's mana is indeed relatively strong, but even so, it is difficult for them to recover quickly after suffering the pain of pulling off the golden scales.

Not to mention...... It has been more than a thousand years since this golden scale armor broke away from Su Qin's body, and the passage of vitality is getting faster and faster, and it is really unimaginable that it is impossible to imagine how much essence blood and gold scales need to be consumed by Ti Zhen today, in order to ensure that it can exert the power it should have.

And more importantly, there is no aura in the current Spirit Gathering Pool, and it is impossible to help Ti Zhen recover quickly.

"At this juncture, if the Shark King wants to continue the vitality of this golden scale armor, I'm afraid it will ...... The loss is huge, isn't it?And there is no spiritual energy available in the Spirit Gathering Pool, the body of the Shark King ......" Kongli asked hesitantly.

Ti Zhen hooked the corners of her lips slightly, "In fact, since more than two hundred years ago, Xiao Wang has no longer relied on the water of the Gathering Spirit Pool to recover his vitality, the Gathering Spirit Pool is a holy object to save his life, and every drop of the pool water is very precious. Fortunately, the loss of vitality for this golden scale armor has not been very large, so Xiao Wang relied on some elixirs refined by the Saint Venerable in the clan to make up for the consumption. ”

"But this time, I'm afraid it's different, right?" asked Kongli keenly.

Ti Zhen didn't hide it, nodded and replied: "If this golden scale armor is regarded as a life with spiritual intelligence, Xiao Wang's previous action to prolong its vitality is just to hang its breath and let it not perish. And now this golden scale armor needs to be refined into a mirage nib, to ensure that it can fully exert its due effect, it must be completely awakened by this life. ”

"Can Benjun understand that the process of completely awakening Long Xuan's vitality is time-consuming and labor-intensive, and even a careless accident will shake your foundation?" asked in a deep voice.

"Well, that's a possibility. So...... In order to ensure that nothing goes wrong, this method can only be carried out in stages, Xiao Wang needs more time, and he also needs to prepare more pills, otherwise he is afraid that it will fall short. Ti Zhen replied calmly.

Kong Li sighed secretly, nodded and said: "Don't worry, King Shark, there is still a pill to restore vitality here, what King Shark needs to do is to protect himself while awakening Long Xuan." ”

Ti Zhen smiled happily, and said to the empty debt: "In this way, thank you Shenjun." Shenjun rest assured, what to do, Xiao Wang knows in his heart. ”

Since the second day was the day of the Qingci Tribulation, in order to add some modest help to the Qingci Tribulation, Ti Zhen put the matter of Long Xuan back. She needs to be in the best condition, wholeheartedly providing strength for Qingci and solemnity.

The time of the day passed in a blink of an eye, and as soon as the evening of the second day arrived, Qingci came to a very quiet and spacious place in the merman palace under the leadership of Kong Li and Ti Zhen.

According to Qing Ci's request, an altar was temporarily erected in this place, and in the center of the altar there was a faint array of light flickering. Tonight, Qing Ci needs to rely on the power of this formation to complete the process of leading the catastrophe, responding to the catastrophe and crossing the catastrophe.

The Tribulation of the Horned Dragon is the unique catastrophe of the Dragon Clan, which is divided into three parts, of which the first is the karmic fire plus the body, which is intended to temper and strengthen the dragon scales of the true body of the Dragon Clan;

Crack, in order to achieve the effect of refining the skin and flesh and expanding the meridians, and the third is the thunder infusion, which leads the rootless heavenly thunder to fall into the true body of the dragon clan, which is used to cleanse the soul and refine the bones.

Although this tribulation is threefold, not all dragons experience the same degree of suffering when they choose to break through their own cultivation, the scorching heat of the karmic fire, the icy degree of the ice fall, and the size of the thunder fall are all closely related to the blessings and karma of the dragon clan themselves.
