A Sexagenary Cycle in a Flash (22)
On the desolate and boundless land, the bodies of Flood Dragons of various shapes and sizes lay scattered about; some were reduced to skeletons, while others were complete with scales, armor, and whiskers.
Numerous spirit medicine grow around the Flood Dragon's body, and many Spirit Materials are also produced on the ground or underground. The higher the Flood Dragon's cultivation level, the higher the grade and value of these Spirit Items.
The tasks of the Luochuan River Dragon King and Flood Dragons, besides cultivation, were to collect these resources. After leaving the Dragon Tomb, they would keep a portion for themselves and hand over the rest to their clan.
Possessing the body of the Luochuan River Dragon King, Yang Tianyou looked at the seemingly inexhaustible resources before him with a sense of shock.
Dragon Soul Crystal, Dragon Blood Grass, Dragon Heart Iron, Crimson-Refined Dragon Gold...
The sheer variety of resources is dazzling; besides dragon-attribute resources, there are also numerous resources of other attributes.
Whether Dragon Island Secret Realm is a peak -Profound Grade Secret Realm or a semi-independent Secret Realm can be estimated by comparing it with the Blood River Secret Realm, thus revealing how much resources a semi-independent Secret Realm of this level can produce.
It's important to understand that the Blood River Secret Realm is jointly managed by Eight Directions Forces, while the Dragon Island Secret Realm belongs entirely to the Flood Dragon Clan. No wonder the outside world always says that the Eastern Sea Flood Dragon Clan is wealthy; the resources produced by just this one Dragon Island Secret Realm are enough to support two or three powerful Province-Level Power.
"We'll split up and collect resources according to the pre-defined areas. No one is allowed to cross the boundaries," the Flood Dragon Crown Prince said calmly, then led a dozen or so Flood Dragons and flew towards a certain location.
He didn't cause trouble for the Luochuan River Dragon King, after all, the latter had already paid a heavy price for everything he had done before, using 80% of his Bloodline Concentration.
Besides, nobody's a fool. If the Flood Dragon Crown Prince still hasn't figured out who's behind this by now, then he shouldn't be the Dragon King's first heir.
Dressed in a magnificent brocade robe, with a kind face, youthful appearance, and sunny disposition, Long Jue smiled at Luochuan River Dragon King and said, "Brother Qian, why don't you stay in the Eastern Continent and be your Dragon King? Why do you have to come back to this small place in the Eastern Sea to suffer!"
The sarcasm in his words was obvious to almost everyone.
The few Flood Dragons that hadn't yet left stopped in their tracks upon hearing this, watching the scene unfold with smiles, eager to see how the Luochuan River Dragon King would respond.
Unexpectedly, the latter completely ignored Long Jue, and with a flick of his body, he broke through the air and flew towards the area he had been assigned to!
Seeing this, the other Flood Dragons were slightly taken aback, and then looked at Long Jue with amusement.
The latter still wore a kind smile, sighed softly, and said, "My cousin is really heartless!"
After saying this, he left with the two Flood Dragons behind him. But the moment he turned around, a violent killing intent flashed in Long Jue's eyes.
The murderous intent came and went quickly, seemingly in an instant. Long Jue returned to his harmless appearance, like an innocent young man.
The Luochuan River Dragon King flew all the way and soon arrived at the area he had been assigned to.
Compared to other places, the amount of resources here is significantly lower.
Clearly, the Luochuan River Dragon King, lacking any powerful backing, became the unlucky one and the target of everyone's tacit suppression.
It's rare for the weak to receive sympathy; when their own interests are at stake, they will only be exploited and oppressed.
Looking at the barren land before him, the Luochuan River Dragon King showed no anger. In the decades since returning to the Eastern Sea, he had long since exhausted his useless emotions. Now, all that remained was the Luochuan River Dragon King who would stop at nothing to achieve his goals.
However, despite its scarce resources, the Luochuan River Dragon King has its own advantage, namely, Yang Tianyou's help.
As Mirror Spirit, strictly speaking, the existence of the Luochuan River Dragon King is actually closely connected with the Jade Register Heavenly Book.
This means that even though they are separated by thousands of miles, he can still use some of the methods in the Jade Register Heavenly Book, of course, with Yang Tianyou's permission.
With his eyes slightly closed, Luochuan River Dragon King opened them again shortly afterward, and an invisible wave swept out, affecting an area of five hundred miles in radius. It was Zhiming's power descending upon Luochuan River Dragon King.
Although this force has been reduced by more than a factor of five due to distance and other factors, it is still more than enough for resource exploration.
In the Cultivation World, not all resources are conspicuous. Many resources are actually very hidden. Without corresponding detection methods, even if you get close to them, you will only see an ordinary rock or tree.
For example, the Dragon Scale Stone that the Luochuan River Dragon King is holding looks like it has no Spiritual Qi at all. Even if you scan it with your Divine Sense, you will be blocked by the isolation layer on its surface.
In reality, this is a Third-Tier Upper-Grade Spirit Material. After being smelted using special methods, it can be used to refine various types of defensive Law Treasure.
With Zhiming's help, the Luochuan River Dragon King's ability and speed in finding various resources increased many times over. He discovered a large number of deeply hidden Spirit Items, and the originally barren resource land was transformed into a "rich mine"!
Time flies, and a year has passed in the blink of an eye.
On this day, the Luochuan River Dragon King finally plundered all the Spirit Items in the resource area.
He traveled along the way, practically scraping the land dry. Apart from the immobile Flood Dragon corpse and the seedlings of spirit medicine, he collected all other resources.
Looking at the vast array of resources in his Storage Ring, the Luochuan River Dragon King couldn't help but smile.
Although 80% of these resources had to be handed over, leaving only 20% for himself, even 20% was enough for the Luochuan River Dragon King to cultivate to the Great Perfection of the Spirit Transformation realm, with plenty to spare. This shows just how abundant the resources in the Dragon Tomb were.
It's important to know that every few hundred years, the Flood Dragon Clan comes in to collect resources, and they are not qualified to collect resources from the core area where Flood Dragon at the Spirit Transformation Late Stage or above slumber.
The resources there are all collected by the Clan-Guarding Dragon Soldier, and then handed over to the Dragon Palace.
"Resources have been collected; it's time to head to the True Dragon Road!" The Luochuan River Dragon King murmured to himself, his eyes suddenly flashing with intense light.
True Dragon Road, the greatest fortuitous opportunity within the Dragon Tomb.
This is a path of trials; the farther you go, the greater the benefits you will reap.
High-level inheritance, Dragon Transformation Pool, the inheritance of the Dragon Pearls of ancestors, the recognition of powerful Law Treasure as masters... and so on.
As long as you travel a long enough distance on the True Dragon Road, ascending to heaven in one step is not a problem.
