<h4>Chapter 81: Dragon Race’s Growth Cycle</h4>


    Most of the geniuses and outstanding disciples attended the Witchcloud Gathering.


    The gathering was indeed very attractive.


    However, with so many people going out, it made Jiang Lan feel unsafe.


    If someone set their sights on Kunlun, they would bepletely wiped out.


    However, he also saw some people he knew who got on the flying Dharma treasure.


    For example, the Senior Brother of the First Summit, Gu Qi, whom he met at the Peaceful Void Lake.


    Another example was the Eighth Summit’s Senior Brother who had most likely be an immortal, Lu Jian.


    As for females, he did not see Ao Longyu.


    She should still be at the Jade Pool.


    Apart from these people, he didn’t know others who were going.


    Of course, this had nothing to do with Jiang Lan.


    After leaving the Kunlun Main Hall, Jiang Lan did not return to the Ninth Summit immediately. Although cultivation was very important, there were some things that he had to take to heart.


    For example, respecting his master.


    There was an inn under Mount Kunlun called the Old Wine Tavern.


    This inn had been there from the very beginning.


    Theyout had never changed, nor had the old tables and chairs been changed. A hundred years was like a day for this inn.


    Standing in front of the inn, Jiang Lan was surprised.


    The first time he came to this inn was a hundred years ago.


    A hundred years had passed, yet the inn was still here. It was as ordinary as ever and as deste as ever.


    The path down the mountain had changed. The surrounding trees had also changed.


    The surroundings had changed so much that he had thought that someone had a fight outside the tavern.


    After which, someone had repaired the roads and rented the trees.


    “Big brother, aren’t you going in?” A voice suddenly sounded from behind Jiang Lan.


    It was the shopkeeper.


    When Jiang Lan saw the young man, he was about to speak when he realized that the other party had spoken first. His tone was filled with curiosity.


    “Do you have insufficient money? Grandfather said he could put you on credit. But there’s interest. ”


    “…”


    “I have enough money with me.”


    Jiang Lan then walked into the tavern.


    He realized that this youth’s face was a little disheveled, but he was in good spirits and his cultivation was also a little strange.


    He felt that the other party should also be pretty strong.


    He wondered how he wouldpare to himself.


    However, Jiang Lan didn’t intend to give it a try.


    He didn’t want any trouble.


    Of course, this youth was the same as a hundred years ago. There were almost no signs of growth.


    At that instant, he thought of Ao Longyu.


    “Is the Dragon Race’s growth cycle also very slow?” Jiang Lan asked.


    “Dragons?” The youth thought for a moment and said.


    “Grandpa did mention this before. The growth cycle of dragons is actually somewhat different and uncertain. We humans be adults when we turn eighteen. Dragons are much slower.”


    Jiang Lan looked at the young man who hadn’t matured for a hundred years and felt that his wordscked conviction.


    This child was probably several hundred years old.


    “Don’t dragons grow at a fixed pace?” Jiang Lan asked.


    Since their growth cycle was uncertain, it was definitely not determined by age.


    “No, wait for me to wash my hands. I’ll tell you when Ie back. Oh, Grandpa will be back in a while. I don’t have any good wine now. ”


    The young man ran to the back to wash his hands.


    Jiang Lan didn’t say anything and sat down in a corner.


    He remembered seeing Ao Longyu and a small demon the first time he came.


    At that time, he should have been an early-stage Golden Core.


    He was much stronger than before.


    He hoped that the next time he came, he would already be an immortal.


    “I’m here.” At this moment, the youth came to Jiang Lan’s table and took a te of peanuts and a pot of tea.


    “Big brother, can you do me a small favor?”


    The youth sat down and looked at Jiang Lan.


    “What is it?” Jiang Lan asked.


    He maintained his best state to prevent any idents from happening.


    After all, there were many people who sought his help. They were either asking him to kill someone or lending them his life.


    So when he heard this question, he was more careful than usual.


    The young man naturally didn’t notice anything unusual. He took out a spirit stone, which was used to test one’s talent.


    “Can I test Big Brother’s talent? This, and this, are all for you. ”


    With that, he pushed the peanuts and tea to Jiang Lan.


    It was like a reward for helping the young man with a favor.


    “No problem.” He actually didn’t understand why the other party would do that.


    However, this was indeed a simple spirit stone to test one’s talent.


    A momentter, Jiang Lan withdrew his hand and the youth took back the spirit stones.


    “Big Brother, you were talking about the growth cycle of the dragon race just now, right?” Asked the youth.


    He had just confirmed his agreement with his grandfather.


    Jiang Lan nodded.


    “What is the basis of a dragon’s growth cycle?”


    “Actually, dragons have age too. For some of them, a hundred years is equivalent to a human’s one year, while for some, it’s fifty or perhaps even ten.” Said the youth.


    Jiang Lan looked at the other party and didn’t say anything. The other party wanted to continue speaking.


    The youth then continued.


    “As for how many years they take for their age to increase, it actually depends on their strength. The faster their strength increased, the shorter their growth period would be. It could be said to be a type of talent. The more talented one was, the faster one would grow. The faster the growth, the higher the cultivation level. When a dragon reached adulthood, the follow-up was more fixed. Their age could be counted as per normal, with one year as an age year. ”


    “What is the cultivation of an adult dragon?” Jiang Lan asked.


    As long as he knew this, he would know whether Ao Longyu was an adult or not.


    “The lowest cultivation an adult dragon should have is close to that of the Human Immortal Realm. Normally, once a dragon reaches adulthood, it would have reached the Human Immortal Realm. “The youth said.


    Jiang Lan nodded. To put it simply, all of the Dragon Race cultivators below the Void Refinement Realm were underage.


    Thus, Ao Longyu was truly a child dragon.


    He was fooled by her appearance.


    This was enough for Jiang Lan. There was no need to ask anything else.


    However, Ao Longyu did not look like a child at all.


    He then smiled in return. He had his question answered and didn’t want to owe any favors by asking anything else.
