Shen Qing was used to comforting herself. When there were things she couldn't figure out, she would simply put them out of her mind for the time being.
She had developed a great interest in transforming into a dragon form.
Since the dragon horns had already grown, she should be able to transform into a dragon, right...
This was Shen Qing's speculation.
But she tried several times. Whether it was closing her eyes and imagining herself turning into a dragon in her mind, or holding her breath and letting her spiritual power circulate around her.
In short, she tried all the methods she could think of.
But in the end, she felt quite discouraged. There was still no change in her, except for the dragon horns on her head.
Wu Wang watched Shen Qing holding her breath and closing her eyes, turning herself red in the face. It had no idea what she was doing, its little head full of confusion.
"What are you doing? Do you want to poop?" Wu Wang asked.
Shen Qing was speechless.
She just wanted to sew Wu Wang's mouth shut.
Why did the words coming out of this little mouth sound so unpleasant to her ears?
But since her attempts had been in vain, Shen Qing had no choice but to ask Wu Wang for help. "I don't know how to transform into a dragon form..."
When she said this, Shen Qing felt a bit embarrassed.
Wu Wang didn't make fun of her. Instead, its expression became solemn. It stretched out its paw and touched Shen Qing's forehead, then her cheek.
After that, as if it had reached some conclusion, it took a surprised step back. "The master I carefully selected is actually a fool!!"
After a two - second silence, Shen Qing's fists tightened.
In the end, Wu Wang, with a big bump on its head, seriously taught Shen Qing how to transform, but muttered to itself, complaining about Shen Qing. "Why can't you just talk nicely? Why do you have to hit me?"
"Come on, first sink your consciousness into your spiritual sea, and then let your spiritual power circulate, but..."
Shen Qing cleared her mind of distractions. Following the method Wu Wang taught, she closed her eyes and let her consciousness exist in her spiritual sea.
When her spiritual power circulated, Shen Qing didn't know what changes were happening to her body. In an instant, she felt as if her body was out of her control.
When she opened her eyes again, the reflection on the water surface had turned into a blue - purple dragon.
She succeeded!!
Shen Qing was extremely excited, her eyes blinking.
She paced around the water's edge in surprise, observing her dragon - shaped body through the reflection on the water.
She never thought she would look like this after turning into a dragon!
Wu Wang nodded in satisfaction. Seeing that Shen Qing had succeeded, it said reassuringly. "Not bad! Now you can fly with me, right?"
It took off first, circling in the air twice. Shen Qing followed Wu Wang's instructions, gave a slight push into the air, and her body floated up lightly.
This feeling was different from flying on a sword. While flying, Shen Qing felt like an immortal soaring through the clouds.
This small space wasn't large. Shen Qing felt that she hadn't flown very far before reaching the end of the space.
There seemed to be a barrier at the end, silently blocking her way.
But this didn't dampen her excitement. She turned around and flew back towards the stream. Watching the spiritual plants beneath her fly by, the magnificent building that had seemed so grand from below now looked tiny.
This feeling was like having the whole world in her hands, with the freedom to gallop through heaven and earth.
Shen Qing fell in love with this feeling almost instantly.
After the two dragons played around for a while, Shen Qing felt exhausted and returned to the stream, transforming back into a human form.
After Shen Qing transformed back into a human, the two dragon horns on her head also disappeared, just like before, with no sign of anything amiss.
She lay on the ground, breathing lightly, still feeling nostalgic for the flight just now.
Wu Wang lay obediently beside Shen Qing. "It's your first time transforming into a dragon form, so you may feel a bit tired. That's normal. You'll get used to it later."
Shen Qing nodded and was just about to rest quietly.
Who would have thought that Wu Wang would mutter to itself again. "But it's very strange. There's actually a gem between your eyebrows. I've never seen this on other dragons."
"You're really quite strange."
Shen Qing paused.
A gem between her eyebrows?
She had been too excited when she transformed into a dragon just now and hadn't noticed if there was a gem between her eyebrows.
But! Why didn't Wu Wang say so just now!!
She had already transformed back into a human. If she had to transform into a dragon again, wouldn't she be exhausted?
So Shen Qing picked up Wu Wang, hugged it in her arms and kneaded it for a while before letting it go.
Wu Wang was aggrieved and shouted in its heart. "Why is it my fault again!!"
After taking a short break, Shen Qing transformed into a dragon again. This time, the sense of fatigue was even stronger. After all, she hadn't rested well and had forced herself to transform, which consumed a lot of her spiritual power and physical strength.
Shen Qing stretched out her head and saw her reflection in the water. There really was a gem between her eyebrows.
Shen Qing stretched out her paw and tried to pick off the gem, but the gem seemed to have grown together with her flesh. Whenever she tried to use a bit more force, there would be a stabbing pain between her eyebrows.
Shen Qing simply lowered her head and carefully observed the gem.
This stone looked like jade, emitting some red light as it flowed, but it didn't look strange.
"This stone looks a bit like the material of a merit stone, but it's much smaller than a merit stone."
Wu Wang also came over and carefully observed the stone between Shen Qing's eyebrows. "You're right. It does look a bit like that, but it's more like a moonstone."
"Why don't you try to gather your spiritual power between your eyebrows and see what changes this stone will have?"
Shen Qing thought for a while and felt that this method should be feasible. After all, spiritual power was necessary when using magical artifacts and jade.
So Shen Qing closed her eyes and gathered her spiritual power between her eyebrows.
She was surprised to find that this jade seemed to be absorbing her spiritual power. After a while, a burning sensation rose.
From the corner of her eye in the reflection in the water, Shen Qing noticed that this jade was emitting a strong red light.
This red light immediately made Shen Qing think of the two red fish swimming in the water just now. The two red fish had turned into red light and disappeared into her body.
Could this jade be the transformation of those two red fish?
Shen Qing felt that the burning sensation between her eyebrows was extremely intense. She wanted to stop, but found that she had lost control. The jade was forcibly absorbing her spiritual power and she couldn't stop it.
But at the moment of the stabbing pain, it was as if a seal in Shen Qing's mind had been unlocked. Some familiar yet unfamiliar memories flooded into her mind.
And the spiritual bones in her body were also gradually changing.
Shen Qing had never known where the spiritual bones in her body came from or what their function was.
On normal days, these spiritual bones just made her cultivation speed a bit faster and her wounds heal faster than ordinary people. But other than that, she had never discovered any other functions of these spiritual bones.
It wasn't until now, when the red light emitted by the moonstone between her eyebrows slowly covered her spiritual bones. As her memories returned, Shen Qing finally realized that what was in her body wasn't spiritual bones, but dragon bones.
When the dragon bones awakened, the dragon - clan abilities belonging to Shen Qing gradually awakened as well...
