Royal City Treasure Hunt-Who Stole My Corpse Puppet Sect's Secret Treasury?

A bright yellow light emanated from the small cauldron, Zhao Xing was immediately invigorated.

"Earth Elemental Spiritual Qi!"

He will then use Pure Yuan Projection to incorporate Earth Elemental Spiritual Qi into the Pure Yuan Space.

"Hmm? There's more?"

Zhao Xing noticed that immediately after taking the first portion of Earth Elemental Spiritual Qi, another bright yellow light emanated from the bronze cauldron.

It's the same size as before, and it's also made of Earth Elemental Spiritual Qi.

"I'll inhale!"

Zhao Xing quickly collected the second cluster of Earth Elemental Spiritual Qi.

Buzz~

Another burst of bright yellow light appeared.

"This is the third one! The Dragon Court really does have a lot of spiritual energy!"

Zhao Xing smiled broadly and absorbed the third portion of earth elemental energy.

After shaking it, the small cauldron released a wisp of spiritual energy.

It's slightly smaller than before, so it can only be considered half a portion.

Zhao Xing collected it again and waited a while.

The small cauldron wobbled, and a fifth ball of light appeared.

Over the next quarter of an hour, the bronze cauldron released earth elemental energy a total of twenty times.

Ultimately, ten portions of spiritual energy appeared in the Pure Yuan Space.

Zhao Xing patted the small bronze cauldron and, finding that there wasn't a drop left, put it down.

"Ten portions of spiritual energy, that's equivalent to all the portions I've obtained before." Zhao Xing's mind sank down as he looked inward into his Pure Yuan Space.

At this point, the Pure Origin Soil could already be described as vast.

"Go!"

Ten bright yellow rays of light fell into the ground.

"Yu Weng~"

The earth trembled slightly, and the affected area began to expand again.

"It's still level six soil, but the soil-moving characteristics of level six soil are becoming more and more obvious," Zhao Xing remarked.

"The weight of the earth is enough to crush the enemy's Pure Yuan Projection."

"It can also cultivate more Plant Soldier."

"If we continue to develop, I will be able to cultivate Seventh Order Plant Soldier on a large scale."

At this time, Zhao Xing's Pure Origin Soil was planted with many plants, but most of them were sixth-order and were spread out relatively sparsely, because the rooting area of a single Plant Soldier had to be very large.

It is quite difficult to form a dense forest.

"There are twenty-four kinds of Seventh Order plants, corresponding to the twenty-four solar terms, but they are all just seedlings now."

"When a Earth Vein and a small river appear in the Pure Origin Soil, that will be truly amazing. Seventh Order troop can mature in a day."

It's currently only at the "King's Profoundness" level; the next advancement path is "King's Earth Vein."

One by one, the "Spirit Vein of Earth".

"There is still hope for advancing to the ' Earth Leyline in the Dragon Court." Zhao Xing arrived at the center of the soil and carefully sensed it.

"The space of Pure Origin Soil, including the land, was originally absolutely flat. It can be said that the emergence of the thick and heavy characteristics of soil starting from level six is the standard line of the Earth Vein."

"Now, there's a patch of soil here that's arched up to the height of a shoe sole."

The changes are not obvious, but this step is enough to widen the gap between many egoistic centrists.

His mind went blank, Zhao Xing opened his eyes.

He did not find any more spiritual items after that.

They did, however, acquire a large amount of dragon crystals.

Outside the city lord's mansion, Dragon Turtle pulled the dragon boat to its arrival.

"Splash!"

A large amount of dragon crystals were poured out.

"Receive!"

Zhao Xing selected all the dragon crystals of the sixth rank and above.

"The remaining dragon crystals can be melted down into higher-grade ones."

"But I don't need to wait here and waste time," Zhao Xing thought to himself. "I can just leave one clone here to supervise."

He spent two hours selecting materials or seeds such as Dragon Wood and Dragon Blood Grass from the list of Heaven and Earth Treasures Catalog Heavenly Mystery Pavilion and storing them in his Pure Yuan Space.

"The basic task assigned to me by the imperial court is this city; that's enough to fulfill my obligations."

Zhao Xing used his Ruler of the Horizon to find Cao Qianyue.

"My Marquis, would you like something to eat?" Cao Qianyue had completed his task and selected some valuable treasures, which he then piled up in the arena.

Then he began to eat dragon meat.

"Haha, you seem to be enjoying your meal." The flesh of Jimeng's descendant was tough and chewy; Old Master Zhao didn't like it.

It wasn't of much use to him, who was only Third Grade.

What puzzled him was that Cao Qianyue was able to get along peacefully with the three-headed war beast, eating heartily with the three beasts and one person.

"I'm not eating anymore. Are you full? If you are, then get ready to set off with me," Zhao Xing said.

"Set off?" Cao Qianyue was taken aback. "My Marquis, aren't we going to develop our business here?"

"No, this is just to obtain an identity to enter the royal city," Zhao Xing said. "Without the Dragon Race identity of the Guting Kingdom, I cannot enter the royal city."

"The royal city?" Cao Qianyue was stunned again. How come the things the Marquis did were different from the procedures he knew?

It should be noted that the opening time of the Dragon Court Ancient Land is normally around 15-20 years.

Once you're in, the natural thing to do is to occupy a place and develop it. If there are minerals, you mine them; if there are treasures, you plant them and harvest the fruits.

Enslaving the Dragon Race under Moxia to mine and search for treasure, and then accumulating merits in the Dragon Court to upgrade the rank of Dragon Lord.

If you're at the mid-level and your strength is weaker, then you'll have to start as Dragon Soldier or Dragon General.

Zhao Xing is now Third Grade. He has already occupied a Dragon City, and the surrounding territories have Dragon Crystal mines, Dragon Blood Wood, and even several Dragon Springs. Why does he want to leave again?

Cao Qianyue couldn't understand it, but whatever Zhao Xing said went. After all, the Divine Might Marquis was someone he couldn't comprehend.

"Yes, my Marquis." Cao Qianyue wiped his hands on his belt and then said, "My Marquis, I have already inventoried the valuables. There are three dragon boats loaded with them."

"If you give me Heavenly Timing, my Marquis, I might be able to salvage some useful pieces from those Dragon Race's heavy weapons of war."

Zhao Xing waved his hand and said, "You're just one person, you can't demolish much anyway. Besides, what you're talking about isn't worth much in Dragon Court, so it's unnecessary."

The roster I obtained was completely different from the one Cao Qianyue obtained.

What Xiao Cao considered valuable was not very important to Zhao Xing.

"Go and make preparations, and leave plenty of materials for crafting Boundary-Breaking Nail and dismantling equipment. We'll depart in an hour."

"Build as many as you can along the road."

Zhao Xing smiled slightly. "Once we reach the capital, you'll have your turn to tear it down."

"Yes, sir!" Cao Qianyue scurried off to prepare.

Zhao Xing opened the map and began to write and draw on it.

He brought so much stuff, emptying Cloud City of all its valuables, not for his own use or to take it out of the city.

Instead, they went to offer tribute!

However, the dragon he was offering tribute to was not the ' Flame Dragon Lord,' the former superior of the Mengyun Cloud City, but another dragon.

"The Flame Dragon Lord is just a lord. Even if I pay tribute to him, he will never make me a lord."

"However, if I offer tribute to the Dragon King, I can not only become a lord, but also steal some treasures when the Dragon King bestows rewards." Zhao Xing recalled his strategy from his previous life.

"After obtaining the status of City Lord Level in the Guting Kingdom, you can go to the royal city to seek out the 'tribute' of the King Grade."

1

"Such a tribute that goes beyond the proper order will offend Flame Dragon Lord, because Cloud City is his Dragon Race's fiefdom."

"However, it doesn't matter, I have no intention of developing my career here anyway."

"Currently, there should only be one awake Dragon King in the Guting Royal City. His real name, when translated, is ' Yin Li '."

"He is a descendant of the Great Dragon King ' Gu Ting the 19th '."

"But Yin Li also has an older brother, the Dragon King Yin Xiu," Zhao Xing recalled. "The two brothers take turns ruling, and now it's Yin Li's era."

"The Dragon King Yin Xiu is also asleep, but he is not in a deep sleep. Every hundred years, he enters a state of 'light sleep.' This is to prevent him from sleeping too soundly, so that if an enemy invades, he can emerge from his seclusion during a light sleep."

"Whoever awakens him only needs to offer Yin Xiu the treasures he desires."

"In return, Yin Xiu would allow those who offered tribute to enter his treasury and receive a blind selection opportunity."

"Yin Xiu would scatter all the treasures, causing them to become dusty. Usually, no one could gain an advantage; it all depended on luck to select the items."

"But no one knows this hidden plot yet." Zhao Xing smiled slightly. "Most of the tribute bearers choose Yin Li, and Yin Li is rather domineering and greedy, the kind of person who's willing to take ten steps forward and one step back."

Zhao Xing calculated. "In another three hundred years or so, it will be the time of Yin Xiu's rule. For the long-lived Dragon Race, Yin Xiu is already close to awakening. It won't be difficult for me to awaken him."

"The treasures looted from Cloud City should be enough."

"But it's still quite difficult to get enough chances to redeem them. With all the things in Cloud City, it's hard enough to get even one chance."

As the Dragon King, what hasn't Yin Xiu seen in the Guting Kingdom?

Therefore, it is quite difficult to obtain his reward.

"I naturally don't have any treasures, and I'm too lazy to look for them, so I can only borrow them." A slight smile appeared on Zhao Xing's lips.

"Profound Heaven Sect, Corpse Puppet Sect, Blazing Light Royal Court, Purple Feather Royal Court, Aphid Snake Kingdom —hehe, I'll borrow your treasure trove for a bit."

Who should we borrow from? Of course, the hostile forces!

Historical records indicate that the opening of the Dragon Court Ancient Land dates back to two dynasties before the Great Li era.

Of course, at that time, all parties were just beginning to explore and had not yet established a sound exploration mechanism.

Furthermore, the Dragon Court only opens once every hundred years. If there is a change of dynasty or large-scale war outside, or if the rules of the Profound Yellow World are too chaotic, the Dragon Court Ancient Land will not open.

For example, the Age of Warring Myriad Kingdoms before the Great Zhou lasted for tens of thousands of years.

Therefore, even after tens of thousands of years, only a tiny bit of the map of the Dragon Court has been explored.

Currently, the Profound Yellow World is relatively stable, because whether the Profound Yellow World is in chaos or not is determined by the Nineteen Provinces.

As long as a unified dynasty exists in the Nineteen Provinces, the Dragon Court will inevitably be established.

Therefore, starting from the reign of Grand Ancestor, the Dragon Court has been opened more than twenty times.

If one enters the Dragon Court seeking returns, then naturally there will also be investments involved.

Whether it's the Great Zhou, sects, the Southern Barbarians, the Eastern Ying, or the aquatic tribes, all have established [Storage Vault] in the Dragon Court.

Especially after the [tribute system] was discovered, there were even more Storage Vault!

But here's the problem: the treasure troves left behind by various sects and the Southern Barbarian Royal Court must have been protected by restrictions and seals. How could they be easily stolen by others?

It's really difficult for Zhao Xing to access top-tier treasures, even if he knows the location and how to unlock them.

Because he was the Agricultural Official, not a formation master or Mechanism Master.

Theoretically speaking, given the sheer strength of the weapon, it would be difficult for him to succeed on his own.

However, theory is one thing, reality is another.

The factor of opening the Dragon Court Ancient Land every hundred years needs to be taken into account.

In the Dragon Court Ancient Land, once the time is up, all outsiders will be kicked out.

As a result, the treasure vault's Magic Array and mechanisms were left unmaintained for a hundred years.

It's one thing if no one maintains it, but we also have to consider the territorial changes of the Dragon Race.

In the Dragon Court Ancient Land, there was no Agricultural Official to regulate the Heavenly Timing and the Earthly Advantage Institute.

Therefore, large-scale geographical changes are very common in the Dragon Court Ancient Land.

In addition, there is the factor of Dragon Race.

A powerful Dragon Race might play around, burrowing into the ground, and that could trigger an earthquake.

If war or forced relocation occurs, there will be even more unexpected factors.

This caused serious damage to the storage Magic Array and sealing spells.

"Even if we take a step back and assume those treasures are stored in Dragon City, I still have ways to retrieve them."

"When I go to the capital, I can take some of the treasures as tribute to Yin Li and apply for a transfer."

Where to transfer? The Ministry of War of the Dragon Race. The Dragon Race are highly intelligent beings, and they also have the ability to forge Divine Soldier weapons. For example, the Dragon Generals of Mengyun Cloud City wield long spears and wear armor.

"This wasn't something I did alone; it involved various factions. The An family faction was involved, and so was the family-confiscation faction."

"I need to get to the capital city quickly and get the authority from the Dragon Works Department. Otherwise, if more people ask Yin Li for that authority, the barrier to entry will be higher." Zhao Xing's advantage is that he knows the location and is familiar with the process.

Therefore, he felt that he was quite confident about this trip.

Cao Qianyue said that development through land acquisition is much faster than robbery and confiscation.

"If I get ahead one step at a time, I'll get ahead every step of the way. Once I exchange with Yin Xiu once, my advantage will be even greater. Hehehe—" Zhao Xing thought gleefully.

Cao Qianyue, who was about to come and report, couldn't help but shudder when he saw Zhao Xing's ferocious face and sinister smile.

My Marquis, why do you seem so much like a villain?

An hour later, three dragon boats, guarded by three hundred dragon generals, swaggered forward, raising the banner of Meng Yun Dragon City, and began their march toward the royal city.

With the authority of the city lord of Meng Yun Dragon City, by paying dragon crystals, one can activate the ancient teleportation array and quickly appear in the territories of other city lords.

It will only take three days to reach the royal city.

Along the way, he passed through the territories of many city lords, attracting many covetous eyes.

Because Zhao Xing exudes an unfamiliar aura, even though he is under the banner of Cloud City, the large number of treasures he carries naturally attracts attention.

However, after sensing Zhao Xing's strength, they all cancelled their plans.

Because Zhao Xing's Dragon Language level is very high, Upper Rank 5, which is already at the Lord Level level, although Upper Rank 5...

The level of Dragon Language does not represent the strength of Dragon Language Art.

But who would dare risk their life to test whether Zhao Xing had the ability?

Although the Dragon Race are warlike, the City Lord Level are not fools. As long as Zhao Xing doesn't come to attack them, they don't want to provoke him.

The teleportation proceeded very smoothly.

Flame Dragon Lord didn't react either, because he didn't care who Cloud City was.

It doesn't matter who killed 'Pu', as long as they still pledge allegiance to him, the Flame Dragon Lord.

He was still waiting for Zhao Xing's tribute.

Before Flame Dragon Lord could react, Zhao Xing had already escaped.

Two and a half days after entering the Dragon Court, Zhao Xing, in his capacity as the Cloud City, arrived at the Guting Royal City with three boatloads of treasures.

After passing through the Magic Array and the guards' detection, Zhao Xing entered the royal city.

"My Marquis, there are so many dragons!" Cao Qianyue stood behind Zhao Xing.

There are many Dragon Race in the sky and on the ground, including many City Lord Level Dragon Race.

"Of course, there are many dragons in the royal city," Zhao Xing said. "Dun Lie, are you afraid?"

Cao Qianyue stiffened his neck and touched the hammer. "Afraid? With the Marquis here, I'm afraid they'll stuff me to death!"

"Hahaha." Zhao Xing couldn't help but laugh.

Inside the royal city, it is relatively safe. Apart from the arena, there are basically no Dragon Race who dare to fight and kill each other.

However, the royal city was quite large, and after entering the city, they flew for half a day before finally arriving at the outer perimeter of the royal palace area.

"Look, that's the Guting Royal Palace. It was created by the ancient Dragon Emperor 'Ting,' but in this era, there are no longer any Dragon Emperors, only Great Dragon King." Zhao Xing stared at the tall palace walls in front of him.

The palace walls were not built of stone, but rather as a barrier wall. Many eighth and Ninth Order trees were cut down to serve as the base of the array, and many dragon stones and top-grade dragon crystals were placed underground.

Outside the palace walls, many royal guards patrolled.

"The guards here have very high bloodline levels; there is a City Lord Level being every ten miles."

"There are still quite a few Lord Level Dragon Race. Don't move around or wander off," Zhao Xing instructed.

"Yes." Cao Qianyue kept his eyes straight ahead, not even glancing to the side. The Gray-Faced Hound and the Inverted Sheep also began to become restless, which was due to the suppression from the bloodline aura.

The Mountain Cat, however, remained calm, lying on the bow of the boat, ignoring the oppressive atmosphere.

"Roar (Stop)!" A royal dragon general blocked Zhao Xing's dragon boat.

"I, Zhao, the lord of Meng Yun Dragon City, have come here to offer tribute to our king!" Zhao Xing activated his Dragon Language and began negotiating with the palace guards.

As the new ruler of Meng Yun Dragon City, it is perfectly reasonable for Zhao Xing to come to the capital to pay tribute.

Yin Li would only feel happy, because the rule of the Dragon Race is: the vassal of my vassal is not my vassal.

Dragons of the City Lord Level like Zhao Xing already possess strong free will and are highly resistant to dragon might and pressure.

If Yin Li could get the other party to switch their allegiance from Flame Dragon Lord to himself without having to beat them up, that would be something he would be very happy to see.

Not long after, the dragon general who had gone in to report came out again.

"Cloud City Mengyun, please enter."

Zhao Xing sailed three dragon boats into the royal palace grounds.

After entering the royal palace grounds, it took another hour or so to reach the royal palace where Yin Li was located.

Ahead appeared a towering Gao Shan shrouded in mist, with the Dragon King's palace standing majestically, like a giant beast from a fairyland, exuding majesty.

The palace is built against the mountain, which seems to be its natural base and also seems to be integrated with the palace.

The palace's mountain peak, like a long spear, pierces the sky, with a dragon's skull at its tip.

There are more than a hundred of them stuck in the mountain peaks!

These are the battle records of the monarchs of the Guting Kingdom throughout history. Each dragon skeleton is of King Grade and is a different color.

The colors correspond to the Five Elements Wind-Thunder.

In addition, there is the Dragon Crystal Tower outside the palace.

The Dragon Crystal Pagoda, carved with mysterious runes and dragon patterns, contains immense power.

On either side of the palace gate stood two lifelike dragon crystal statues, their eyes wide open in anger, their Dragon Whisker fluttering in the wind, as if they would come to life and soar into the sky at any moment.

The largest of them is a Dragon God statue.

When Zhao Xing saw the Dragon God statue, the image of "The Ancestral Dragon Chant" couldn't help but come to mind again.

"Huang!" In Zhao Xing's Sea of Consciousness, something was stirred, and his voice became somewhat clearer.

Dragon God statues are everywhere in the Dragon Court, but one here perfectly matches the image of the Progenitor Dragon that Zhao Xing saw.

Once they reached the top of the mountain, the dragon boat could no longer proceed and stopped at a mountain square specifically for its placement.

Upon reaching the main peak, there is a huge fountain where water gushes from the dragon's mouth, transforming into sparkling water droplets that form various wondrous shapes in mid-air, like a dragon dancing in the heavens. The mist permeates the air, bringing a touch of coolness and mystery.

Moving forward along the plaza, you will reach the main hall of the detached palace.

The roof of the main hall is covered with what looks like dragon scales, and the glazed tiles shimmer with golden light in the sunlight. Each tile is carved with exquisite dragon patterns.

Upon reaching the steps outside the main hall, Zhao Xing unleashed his Fire Transformation and prostrated himself on the ground. "Zhao, a subject of Guting, pays respects to the Dragon King."

After a long wait, a majestic Dragon's Cry finally echoed from the main hall.

"Enter!"

Zhao Xing then got up and swam into the palace.

Inside the main hall of the detached palace, the space is extremely spacious, and at the far end of the hall is a magnificent dragon king's throne.

The throne is carved from a single piece of crystal, with clouds and mist seemingly swirling within it, and faint phantoms of dragons moving about.

Zhao Xing remained prostrate, not daring to raise his head to look at the dragon throne.

The Dragon Race are quite efficient; he had already explained his purpose when he entered the palace.

Yin Li waited a long time before responding, clearly instructing his subordinates to examine the treasures Zhao Xing had presented as tribute.

Allowing him in means that Yin Li has approved this tribute.

"Zhao, you have pledged your allegiance to me. What do you want?" Yin Li from the throne.

"Your Majesty, I wish to become a member of the Fu Ming Divine Hall in the Royal City." Zhao Xing spoke slowly, syllable by syllable, as if afraid of making a mistake and being transferred to another place.

The Fu Ming Divine Hall is equivalent to the Ministry of Works of the Dragon Race.

After waiting for a long time, Dragon's Cry finally came from the throne.

A faint voiceprint traveled through the space and entered his mind.

Zhao Xing carefully examined the details and quickly realized that Yin Li had agreed.

Then a token, seven or eight meters tall and resembling a door panel, came crashing down and landed behind Zhao Xing.

"L~"

The dragon scales on Zhao Xing's back were branded with a token bearing the dragon script of the ancient Ting royal family, signifying that he had become a member of the royal city's dragon workers.

"(Dragon Language) Thank you for your blessing, my king—"

Zhao Xing, carrying the token on his back, crawled out of the palace.

When he descended the mountain and returned to the peak where the boats had been moored, the three dragon boats were gone, leaving only the three war beasts and Cao Qianyue in the center of the square, at a loss.

"My Marquis, Long has taken all three ships," Cao Qianyue muttered, lifting the box in his hand. "All that's left is this toolbox."

"There's nothing we can do, that's just how Yin Li is," Zhao Xing said. "I originally thought that two ships full of treasures would be enough to exchange for authority, but it seems I underestimated his appetite."

"Fortunately, there were three ships, otherwise the Dragon Artisan Edict might not have been passed."

The token behind Zhao Xing, which resembled a door panel, had shrunk somewhat due to the stretchability of the material, but it was still over two meters tall.

"In that case, we'd better hurry up and raid their house." Zhao Xing stroked his chin.

"Confiscate property?" Cao Qianyue asked, somewhat bewildered. "Whose property are we confiscating? My Marquis, can this token be used to confiscate the lair of a member of the Dragon Race?"

"Of course not Dragon Race," Zhao Xing said with a smile. "You'll find out when the time comes."

When Zhao Xing finished the procedures and came out of the detached palace.

To the west of the Guting Royal City, a group of Daoist priests carrying coffins arrived outside the city on dragon pets.

The team consisted of five people, all of whom were at the high-level cultivation stage. The leader carried a purple coffin inlaid with glass on his back.

The pillar of fortune above was incredibly concentrated, with phantom images flickering within it, like blooming violets.

"We've finally arrived." Purple Violet True Person stroked his beard with his left hand, flicked his whisk with his right, and a smile appeared on his wrinkled face.

He was in the early stage of the Heavenly Luck Realm and was also the main force of the Corpse Puppet Sect on their journey to the Guting Kingdom.

Not only is Purple Violet True Person the strongest in the team, but he is also the oldest and most senior.

Although the people behind him were all at the Third-Rank Realm, they were all his disciples or nephews.

One of them Third Grade at the early stage, and was even his grand-disciple.

"Thanks to Master's incredible good Qitian, we arrived at the Guting Royal City in less than four days without any obstacles," a middle-aged man carrying a blue coffin and riding on a two-headed fire dragon boasted.

He was a disciple of Purple Violet True Person, and his Daoist name was Secluded Fiend.

"Senior Brother is right. Without Master's guidance, we wouldn't have been able to reunite so quickly," a middle-aged woman with a bewitching appearance Peach Blossom flattered him. Her Daoist name was Cloud Fairy Primordial Lord.

Faced with the flattery of his disciples and grand-disciples, Purple Violet True Person smiled and said, "Alright, You Secluded Fiend and Yun Ji, stop flattering me."

"Both of you are only Dragon Generals, and Secluded Extinction and Shadow Fairy are only Dragon Soldier. Your status is too low, which makes it very inconvenient for you to act in the Dragon Court Ancient Land."

"It's best to keep a low profile."

The four people behind him listened attentively.

"After entering the royal city, rest for a while, then prepare according to my instructions."

"Go find the treasure trove left behind by our sect, take out a portion, and you can exchange it for City Lord Level privileges in the royal city."

"That's when it's time to get things done," Purple Violet True Person instructed.

Apart from him, all the other disciples were entering for the first time.

Because the Corpse Puppet Sect doesn't have many slots; even at the Third Grade, it's not guaranteed that you'll get one.

Their lineage is relatively weak; even Purple Violet True Person has only entered twice.

This was his first time visiting the Guting Royal City. The last time he was randomly assigned to the Zi Ti Kingdom, it was during a time of war, and he had never been here before.

Although they are one of the top sects, they are ultimately no match for the foundation of the Great Zhou. Two of them are only at the mid-level 9th level of Dragon Language.

"Let's go into town."

In the royal city, at the Dragon Engineering Office, a massive volcano was burning fiercely.

Above the crater stands an enormous palace.

"We've arrived. This is the Ministry of Works of the Guting Royal City. Dun Lie, do you know what kind of Dragon Race the statue next to that palace represents, and what its name is?" Zhao Xing pointed ahead.

Cao Qianyue said, "My Marquis, I do know this. The Dragon Race's Ministry of Works is called the ' Fu Ming Divine Hall.' The strangely shaped Dragon Race next to it is called ' Fu Ming,' and legend has it that he is the Dragon Race's god of craftsmen."

"He was born with the ability to control the Blazing Fire Academy, the Samadhi True Fire, the Six Ding Divine Fire, and almost all the flames in the world."

"It was this creature that crafted many divine artifacts for the Dragon Race, helping Dragon Race resist the legendary ' Abyssal Demon Clan '."

"All the artisan departments in the Dragon Court Ancient Land are called Fu Ming Divine Hall."

Zhao Xing nodded. "That's right. In exchange for the treasures from the three ships, I gained Level 2 access to the Fu Ming Divine Hall."

Cao Qianyue asked, somewhat puzzled, "But Marquis, you're not Mechanism Master, so why not change your access level? Do you want to go in and learn something?"

He still couldn't understand Zhao Xing's thought process.

Why would a Agricultural Official go to the Fu Ming Divine Hall to learn technology?

Zhao Xing laughed and said, "Don't underestimate me. Unsealing spells are definitely a craftsman's skill."

"Of course, I'm not going there to learn technical skills. With the Level 2 Fuming Token, I can mobilize many Lord Level craftsmen to do things."

Cao Qianyue finally understood. "Your Marquis, you mean to go and open the treasure?"

"But my Marquis, you can't just open the Dragon Race's treasury like that, can you?"

"I don't play Dragon Race."

"Hiss!" Cao Qianyue finally understood. He excitedly touched his bald head. "You want to steal the treasures left behind by those Extraterritorial Demonic Person in the Dragon Court."

"Haha, don't put it so harshly, it's requisitioning," Zhao Xing laughed. "When you come in with me later, you have to study hard and observe carefully."

"Is there anything you can use? It would be best if you could learn the technology as well."

"The craftsmen of the Dragon Race are never as good as those we can make ourselves."

Cao Qianyue exclaimed excitedly, "Yes, Your Marquis! I understand!"

Dragon Race artisans are mostly descendants of Fu Ming. They are small in size but have huge bellies and dark red scales.

At the end of the tail is a huge iron ball, which looks like a hammer used for striking.

The descendants of Fu Ming have hair, like Human Race fingers, which can extend. At the ends of the Dragon Whisker, there is a shimmering light, which can be used to embellish Divine Soldier.

After entering, Zhao Xing first familiarized himself with the membership structure of the Fu Ming Divine Hall.

Meanwhile, his clones began searching for locations throughout the royal city.

In just a quarter of an hour, Zhao Xing's clones found dozens of locations.

"Indeed, replacing the coordinates of the previous life with the Heavenly Stems and Heavenly Stems and Earthly Branches still works. Even with changes in the terrain..."

I can still pinpoint the location accurately.

Without hesitation, Zhao Xing immediately took out a Level Two Fuming Token and dispatched a team of Dragon Race craftsmen from the Divine Temple.

Zhao Xing quickly arrived at the first location, a collapsed boulder ruin.

"If I remember correctly, this treasure vault has three layers of seals. The first layer consists of three sealing spells: Earth Fire, Earth Sky, and Dragon Flame."

"The treasures left on the first level are not numerous; they are all ordinary treasures."

"It was left behind by the top sect, the Corpse Puppet Sect." Zhao Xing directly attempted to Unsealing Spell.

"Boom!"

Soon the earth cracked open, revealing an underground space constructed with Dragon Race Magic Array.

With a "whoosh," a large amount of dragon crystals and Divine Soldier were revealed inside, piled up into a small mountain.

"The first layer is merely a cover." Zhao Xing used his Astral Wind to lift the treasures and load them onto the ship.

"The value isn't particularly high, it's roughly at the fourth to sixth tier level. In terms of dragon coins, it's worth about 200,000 dragon coins."

"For the second level, it's time to send the Dragon Race's Fu Ming craftsmen up." Zhao Xing retracted his clone and then ordered the craftsmen to come over.

"Roar~" A team of Fu Ming craftsmen quickly flew over.

"Dig!" Zhao Xing's order was simple.

"Roar~" More than a dozen dragons quickly flew into the underground space below.

Soon after, the second underground space appeared, revealing a large hole.

"Return!"

Zhao Xing then called the craftsmen up.

He then sent his clone down to explore.

"The second level of the vault has many more good things." Zhao Xing went down to take a look. "It's worth at least two million dragon coins, but that's not enough to exchange with the Dragon King ' Yin Xiu.' At most, it's the price to awaken him."

"However, there is a third floor." After emptying it, Zhao Xing sent the Dragon Race's craftsmen down.

This time, even the Dragon Race craftsmen had to use tools.

"Boom!"

Four sharp pillars, each requiring more than a dozen people to encircle, slowly sank into the ground, emitting bursts of light and vibrating continuously.

"Boom!" A large number of boulders shattered and the soil disappeared.

Zhao Xing looked closely and saw a dragon-carved gate emerging from the depths of the second underground space.

The coffin symbol of the Puppet Household Sect is clearly visible.

"Crack crack crack~" As the craftsman Fu Ming deciphered the barrier, the Ten Fire World Piercing Needle simultaneously erupted with a burst of red flames, completely eroding the exposed barrier.

"Stop!" Zhao Xing called out to the craftsmen as the barrier dissipated. "Come up!"

The craftsmen of the Fu Ming Divine Hall immediately came forward obediently again.

Zhao Xing's clone quickly went down and began moving things.

"The third layer consists entirely of materials of Seventh Order or higher, and the total amount exceeds that of the first and second layers of storage space."

After Zhao Xing came down, he was immediately stunned by the dazzling array of display cases.

"And they're all categorized, most of them not belonging to the Guting Kingdom!"

As the saying goes, things are valued for their rarity.

If it's a product of the Guting Kingdom, it naturally won't fetch a high price.

However, these places were specially selected by generations of the Corpse Puppet Sect.

"The value is immeasurable, but it's at least over 20 million!" Zhao Xing grinned from ear to ear. Based on a tenfold increase, the third floor should have that amount.

"As expected of a top-tier sect, one of their Big Treasure alone holds so much wealth."

"With this profit, we can make a deal with the Dragon King Yin Xiu." Zhao Xing quickly loaded the ship.

As for the artisans of the Fu Ming Divine Hall, Zhao Xing had placed a "Dragon Language Mute Spell" on them, and with his Level 2 Fuming Token, it was impossible for these Dragon Race artisans to reveal this matter.

Even if it gets leaked, it doesn't matter. There's no law in the Guting Royal City that forbids digging up treasures from underground, and there's no possibility of fighting in the capital.

"Let's go, to the next place!"

Two hours after Zhao Xing left.

Purple Violet True Person arrived late.

"Found it! This place holds the ' Giant Stone Vault ' left behind by many of our sect's ancestors."

"It contains the accumulated wealth of seven or eight generations of our lineage," Purple Violet True Person said proudly. "With this initial capital in the Dragon Court Ancient Land, as tribute to the Dragon King of the kingdom, you will immediately gain a very high status."

"Thank you, Master!" Secluded Fiend exclaimed excitedly.

"The Giant Stone Vault? It can grant us advanced privileges from the Dragon Race." Yun Ji licked her lips, filled with anticipation.

"You all wait here while I find it." Purple Violet True Person took out a compass, activated the sect's secret technique, and began to search for the exact location of the treasure vault.

With the Vast Sea, he was unsure of the exact location of the treasure vault and would have to search for it.

A moment later, Purple Violet True Person received two pieces of news.

Good news: He found the sect's secret treasure without much effort.

Bad news: The Giant Stone Vault has been emptied! And it was just emptied!

"Who is it!" Purple Violet True Person roared, "Who stole the treasure of my Corpse Puppet Sect!"
