Chapter Fourteen Birthday Secret

  Longge is four years old today, to celebrate Longge's birthday, the whole village set up fifty tables. The villagers all gathered in the square this morning after finishing their work to celebrate the birthday of their genius Longge.

  Long Song is very happy today, because yesterday he "fought evenly" with the village head of the Qi Infant level, and in addition, his father Long Wu promised to tell him a secret that can cultivate golden attribute Dou Qi.

  Xiao Yue was also very happy, because Long Ge is very sensible and intelligent, not only intelligent, but also a genius, a versatile genius, whoever gave birth to such a good son would be very happy.

  Long Wu was also delighted because he was proud of Long Ge, and even the village chief who couldn't be beaten by him was "beaten" by Long Ge, so he was naturally very happy.

  Because Long Ge was only four years old, he couldn't drink yet, so the wine offered to him was all given to Long Wu to drink instead. Fortunately, Long Wu had a strong tolerance for liquor; otherwise, several hundred people would have fallen drunk with just one bowl each.

  The whole village was happily eating, although the wild boar they killed wasn't as delicious as those in the county town, but it was also very fragrant. The golden roasted pork contained infinite friendship among the villagers, and the delicious food always showed the simple folk customs. The good millet wine had endless words to say and stories to tell.

  They happily ate and drank, happily laughed and talked, picked up about twenty kilograms of such a big ham leg, took big bites, letting the sweet oil and water slide from the corners of their mouths; raised bowl after bowl of wine, drinking big mouthfuls, letting the overflowing wine wet their chest.

  The delicious rabbit meat made them eat with relish, the tasty deer meat made them eat even more happily; and what made them even happier was that they would live a relatively affluent life from now on.

  The joyful celebration continued until late at night, almost everyone got drunk. Because Long Wu had to take care of Xiao Yue who was eight months pregnant, he forced the wine out.

  "Dad, I'm already four years old, can you now tell me why you can cultivate golden attribute Dou Qi?" Long Ge asked after the celebration.

  "Of course, even if you didn't ask, I would have told you by the time you're four," Long Wu said as he stroked Little Yue beside him. "But before that, let me tell you a story."

  "Alright, Father, you go first." Long Ge obediently said.

  "Forty years ago, an empire that cultivated golden attribute Qi had internal strife. The old emperor failed to ascend and went to reincarnate, so there was a big dispute over the issue of succession." Long Wu said slowly.

  "Is the empire of gold not the empire of dragons?" Long Song thought in his heart, but he didn't disturb Long Wu.

  "The old emperor had already made a will to let the eldest son inherit the throne, but at that time, the strongest was not the eldest son, but the fourth son. So, it was impossible for the fourth son to let the eldest son inherit the throne." Long Wu took a sip of water and continued, "So, the power of the fourth son began to contend with the power of the eldest son. At first, the eldest son had the upper hand because most of the aristocratic families that controlled the empire supported him."

  "The family that should control the Dragon Empire is probably the Jinling Family." Long Ge thought to himself.

  "A battle could have occurred later, the fourth prince thought that if both sides were to engage in an all-out fight, the entire empire would split, and once it splits, other empires would take advantage of the situation. The eldest prince had similar thoughts, if they wanted a fragmented empire, it was better not to have one at all. So, they decided to settle the matter through a duel." Long Wu said, suddenly stopping as if lost in thought.

  Due to the Fourth Prince's formidable strength, already at the Sixth Level of the Air King, no one could defeat him in a one-on-one match. Therefore, it was decided to hold a best-of-three competition. The Fourth Prince was not afraid, as he had many powerful subordinates and could easily find two more to ensure victory in two out of three matches. On the other hand, the Eldest Prince hoped to find three powerful warriors, using the weakest to face the strongest Fourth Prince, and the stronger ones to face the Fourth Prince's other powerful subordinates. Long Wu took another sip of water.

  "This big prince is quite clever, the strength of ordinary masters are about the same, if you use a weak one to deal with a strong one, and then use a strong one to deal with a weak one, the winning rate will definitely be very high." Long Ge thought to himself. (The big prince's strategy refers to Tian Ji's horse racing)

  "After both sides decided on the rules of engagement, the competition began. The first match was between a high-ranking expert under the Fourth Prince's command, who possessed the third-level Qi Wang, and a high-ranking expert under the Crown Prince's command, who possessed the fourth-level Qi Wang. After a fierce battle that lasted for a day, the Crown Prince's expert emerged victorious with great difficulty. It wasn't until then that the Fourth Prince noticed the Crown Prince's deployment of troops, which was arranged from weakest to strongest: the third-level Qi Wang, the fourth-level Qi Wang, and himself at the sixth level. However, the Crown Prince's arrangement was different - it was the fourth-level Qi Wang, followed by the fifth-level Qi Wang, and finally the second-level Qi Wang, who was the Crown Prince himself. Seeing this arrangement, the Fourth Prince became enraged because, following the order from weakest to strongest, he should have been able to win at least two matches. But now, it seemed that he could win at most one match. Since the order had already been determined, he couldn't change it and could only proceed with the competition as planned." Long Wu said.

  The match on the second day was between the fourth prince's Air King 4 and the first prince's Air King 5, and of course, the first prince's side won. Since they had won two matches in a row, the first prince won the entire competition, and as a result, he was publicly declared the Emperor of the Empire. At this time, although the fourth prince was somewhat dissatisfied, the holding of this competition was agreed upon by everyone, and if he were to go back on his word in public, not only would his enemies rise up against him, but also those with a sense of justice among his subordinates would rebel against him, so he could only acknowledge the first prince as the Emperor of the Empire.

  "But the story doesn't end here, on the very night of celebrating the eldest son becoming the Emperor of the Empire, the eldest son suddenly passed away, allegedly due to excessive drinking. Can a master of Qi Wang die from drinking too much?! Dragon Wu's words began to show indignation, "Even if I, an infant-level Qi cultivator, drank for a whole day, I wouldn't die!"

  "Wu, don't get excited, first tell Xiaoxiao the rest of the story." Little Yue held Long Wu's hand on the side.

  "Alright." Long Wu took a deep breath, suppressing the anger in his heart and continued to say "Then, on the second day, the Fourth Prince succeeded in becoming the Emperor of the Empire, because none of the other princes had as much power as he did."

  "When the Emperor was finished, he also used the Crown Prince's suspected treason and suspected disclosure of ancestral martial arts as an excuse. In seven consecutive days, he raided the Crown Prince's mansion." Long Wu became angry again, "After raiding the house, killing people, not leaving anyone alive."

  But despite the tight security, there was a small leak. An old servant escaped with an infant through a secret passage and fled to a small mountain village, where he slowly raised the child. Only when the child grew up did he tell him all these stories. Long Wu finally finished speaking, his eyes involuntarily welling up with tears, while Xiao Yue gently patted Long Wu's back.

  "Haha, now you know this story, do you know who that child was back then?" Long Wu asked.

  "Father, is it you?" Long Ge had already guessed roughly.

  "Yes, I am that baby from back then, and the old servant died twenty years ago." Long Ge said sorrowfully.

  "Which of the four princes is it?" Long Ge asked.

  "He is the current Emperor of the Dragon Empire and has already reached the 7th level of Qi Wang, Long Wudi!" Long Wu said gritting his teeth.

  "Is it him?" Long Ge felt a certain degree of difficulty, but the more difficult it was, the more fun it seemed.

  "Yes, so if you don't have enough strength, then don't expose yourself as a member of the imperial family. Once discovered, your life will be in danger." Long Wu said seriously.

  "Then, Father, will you use the Golden Attribute Dou Qi also have something to do with our family?" Long Ge asked.

  "Yes, the children of the Jinling family have a natural endowment of golden attribute aura in their blood when they turn four years old. As they grow older, the amount of golden attribute aura increases. Of course, due to individual differences, the density of the aura also varies. For example, I haven't practiced any martial arts, but by the time I was 40 years old, my golden attribute aura had reached the level of Qi Infant. As I age, my aura will continue to increase, which is related to the purity of my bloodline." Long Wu explained.

  "Oh, Father, I've learned the Golden Attribute's technique from a book. With that, my Golden Attribute's Dou Qi can be rapidly increased starting today." Long Ge said.

  "Uh, I believe in your qualifications, and you will soon make a breakthrough in the gold attribute. However, you must remember that when you are outside, you absolutely cannot use the gold attribute's fighting energy, or else you will be in great danger." Long Wu said seriously.

  "Yes, Father. Tomorrow I'll write down that Metal-attribute technique for you to cultivate as well, so you can increase your strength a bit!" Long Ge wouldn't dare reveal the secret of his mastery of the Five Elements techniques, so he could only recall an advanced Metal-attribute technique he had collected previously and write it down for Long Wu.

  "Alright, I was content with a simple life in Longjia Village, but with such a talented son, how could I possibly remain ignorant and unambitious for the rest of my life? It's time for me to start working hard too." A glint also appeared in Long Wu's eyes.

  "Dad, you're still very young at 40! If I cultivate to the Air King realm, living for tens of thousands of years won't be a problem. Why don't I choose a water-attribute technique for mom to learn too? Then in the future, you two can live together until the end of time!" Long Ge said with a smile.

  "Look at what this kid said." Xiaoyue's face couldn't help but turn red, but she was also moved by the child's filial piety and made up her mind to work hard on the water attribute technique that Longge was about to give.

  That night, while Long Song was meditating and absorbing the earth's energy, he discovered that indeed a thread of golden attribute Dou Qi emerged from his blood. The blood of the Jinling family is really strange, only showing up when he was four years old.

  Long Song greedily absorbed the golden attribute Dou Qi and stored it in his Dantian. When all five attributes of Dou Qi existed within his Dantian, a change began to occur. The golden Dou Qi merged with the other colors, causing not only the color but also Long Song's energy to undergo a geometric transformation. But was this change for better or worse?
