Researching the Dragon Transformation Crystal

On the way from the Skyrite Mountains to the Iron Saber Gorge, Riding had also wondered what Andres would say after they met, and whether he would be willing to submit.

But he never expected that the first thing Andres mentioned was the very thing that mattered to him most.

"You have a way to activate the Azure Dragon Bloodline within Gaisreisen? Are you telling the truth?" Riding asked excitedly.

"Don't rush, it's just a possibility. A lot of research is still needed. Let me take you to meet the research genius under my command first," Andres said with a smile.

"Okay, let's go, we're going right now!"

Riding couldn't wait any longer and simultaneously transmitted his voice to Lius: "Third brother, the situation has changed, don't rush to make a move!"

"I understand, brother," Lius transmitted his voice.

"Follow me."

Andres carried Riding and the other two, flying towards the castle below.

Claude lived in a courtyard inside the castle. Before Andres even landed, he used his Divine Sense to transmit a message to Claude.

The three flew into the courtyard, Claude, hearing Andres's Divine Sense message, also came out of the house.

"Grown ups."

"Claude, I need your help with something."

"Please speak, sir."

Andres pointed at Riding and said, "Claude, as I mentioned before, my friend here is a divine beast. He wants to activate the Divine Beast Bloodline in his offspring. Do you have any ideas?"

Claude frowned. "My lord, I cannot give a definite answer at this time. I need to study this lord's Divine Beast Essence Blood."

Andres looked at Riding: "Riding, do you think it's possible to let him take a look?"

Riding didn't answer. He kept a straight face and looked Claude up and down, seemingly not quite believing Claude.

"Andres, is he the genius you mentioned? Has he ever researched anything?" Riding asked in a deep voice.

Andres smiled slightly and flipped his hand to take out a Metal Life and a Death God Puppet.

"Look, these are both his achievements. You should know about the Metal Life; it was developed by Claude, but Montella later took it from Montra, which led to Claude leaving Montra's ranks. As for this thing, it's Death God Puppet..."

Andres gave Riding and Lius a detailed explanation of the Death God Puppet.

"He invented the Metal Life?" Riding and Lius were greatly shocked and couldn't help but take a second look at Claude. Of course, they knew how useful the Metal Life was.

When he heard Andres describe the Death God Puppet, Riding's eyes lit up. He could tell that the Death God Puppet would have a wide range of uses.

After learning that the Metal Life and the Death God Puppet were developed by Claude, Riding's confidence soared.

"Perhaps he really does have a way to awaken Gaisreisen's Azure Dragon Bloodline!"

Riding said directly, "Mr. Claude, just tell me how you need my cooperation!"

Andres said, "I think you might as well stay here, Riding, so it will be easier for you to communicate with Claude."

Riding and Lius exchanged a glance and said, "Alright."

Riding then looked at the Death God Puppet, somewhat envious. "Andres, how was this Death God Puppet made? Could you tell me?"

Andres laughed and said, "If you want it, I can sell it to you. The price is negotiable. As for the method of refining, I can't reveal it to anyone."

Although the method of making the Death God Puppet will eventually be figured out after a lot of them are sold, we should try to make as much money as possible before that happens.

Riding felt a slight displeasure upon hearing this.

"That Andres is really disrespectful! If my third brother kills him, the Iron Saber Gorge Teleportation Array and the Death God Puppet will both be mine. I just wonder what the relationship is between Claude and Andres?"

Riding was a little unsure.

"If Claude and Andres have a very good relationship, then once Andres is killed, Claude probably won't be willing to help me research the method of activating bloodlines."

"Forget it, let's wait until Claude has done his research first. It's not too late to take action when he has figured it out or when his research has completely failed."

Riding made his decision and a gentle smile appeared on his face.

"Alright, Andres, we'll talk about this deal sometime."

Andres nodded, then suddenly remembered something and asked, "By the way, why did you suddenly come here? Is there something you need?"

Lius looked at his elder brother with some nervousness, while Riding said without changing his expression, "It's like this, we heard about the Teleportation Array in the Skyrite Mountains, and also found out that the Master of Lake Punis might be targeting you. We were worried, so we came to see if we could help. Now it seems that you can handle it on your own."

Andres gave Riding a deep look. He had long known that the Four Divine Beasts did not completely trust him, so he did not believe everything Riding said. However, there was no need to delve into whether it was true or false at this time; he just needed to be on guard.

He smiled and said, "No, I'm very happy that you came. Come, let me introduce you to Iron Saber Gorge, and then I'll have someone arrange accommodations for you."

"Okay, I'm very curious about that Teleportation Array. Could you take us to see it?" Riding asked.

"Of course," Andres said.

The Teleportation Array is no longer a secret, and there's nothing to hide about it anymore.

As Andres led Riding and Lius toward the Teleportation Array, he introduced them to the existence of the Four Supreme Planes and countless Material Plane, and also talked about the Alliance.

"If you want to use the Teleportation Array in the future, you can come to Iron Saber Gorge. I can give you a discount on the teleportation fee," Andres said.

Reading Andres's explanation, Riding was deeply shocked, especially when he heard about the teleportation fee, which greatly increased his desire for the Teleportation Array.

"This Teleportation Array is a treasure trove. With it, wealth will flow in endlessly, won't it?"

Riding's eyes shifted. If he hadn't needed Andres to research methods for activating bloodlines, he would have already had Lius use his Innate Divine Ability.

After showing Riding and Lius around Iron Saber Gorge, Andres took them to their lodgings to rest.

Riding and Lius settled in Iron Saber Gorge, where they usually stayed in Claude's courtyard, assisting him with Claude research.

This research is crucial to completing Riding's Binding Quest, so Andres naturally takes it very seriously and checks on the progress from time to time.

Later, because the research required the use of Gaisreisen, Andres sent one of Claude's God Clone back to the Skyrite Mountains with Riding and Lius.

With the souls of the main body and the God Clone unified, Andres could also keep track of the research progress at any time through Claude's main body.

Time flies, and while cultivating, Andres began to establish an intelligence agency.

He has five bodies in total, including his main body and God Clone avatars, so there's no need to worry about running out of energy.

His main Wind Element God Clone and Fire God Clone, focused on cultivation, while his Earth God Clone and Water God Clone would occasionally handle affairs in Iron Saber Gorge.

Before we knew it, ten thousand years had passed.
