Moreover, the dragon race has always been powerful and arrogant, and their related magical materials are notoriously difficult to obtain; once you reach the Saint Realm level, it becomes even harder. Although the price of one million is indeed high, it is the black market after all, so if they really have it, one cannot say it isn't worth it!
"Unless it is like a Spine-backed Iron-Armored Dragon where the dragon crystal (magic core) is swallowed along with it, Level 9 dragon blood is unlikely to help Lin Lei awaken."
"But Saint Realm dragon blood..."
"Although there is a high probability that it has been stored for a long time, and even if preserved well, its potency cannot be guaranteed, it really might stimulate Lin Lei's bloodline to awaken!"
"Studying the mysteries of the Azure Dragon bloodline is one thing, but if I were to accidentally..."
"Pfft, a dignified Controller of Hongmeng, even if only in the juvenile stage, how could he possibly have problems because of such a small change."
"Regardless, getting it in my hands is what matters most. After all, it is Saint Realm dragon blood; it does have research value!"
Having thought it through, he directly instructed the old butler: "Contact the other party; I want this dragon blood!"
The old butler looked troubled upon hearing this and said: "Master, but it is one million gold coins. The family's liquid funds for the moment..."
Lei Lin said directly: "Use the family reserves. If that's still not enough, doesn't the Dawson Chamber of Commerce want to deepen cooperation with us? Just borrow a portion from them first."
"Alright, I've stayed in the laboratory for too long this time; I need to get some good rest."
The next day, the sun was high.
After Lei Lin tucked in Luo Lin and Windsor, who were still fast asleep from exhaustion, he couldn't help but reveal a hint of confusion: "It's strange. We've been sharing a room for so long, why is there still no movement in their bellies?"
Then he chuckled: "Tsk, I've already transmigrated into Coiling Dragon, why worry about this? There will be plenty of time after reaching the Saint Realm. It was always a matter of probability; I'll just take it slow."
"Time is about right, let's go to Azure Water Paradise and grab something to eat."
In a luxury suite at Azure Water Paradise, Hasen, the person in charge of the Dawson Chamber of Commerce in the Fenlai Kingdom, watched Lei Lin enter and immediately greeted him with a face full of smiles: "Hahaha~, Mr. Lei Lin, your reputation as the number one genius on the continent has really been shaking the royal capital lately!"
Lei Lin exchanged pleasantries with Hasen for a while, and then they quickly discussed the general framework and profit distribution for deepening the commercial cooperation between the Zi'ao Family and the Dawson Chamber of Commerce.
As for the details, it was enough to leave them to his subordinates to handle. In any case, the Dawson Chamber of Commerce couldn't possibly cheat him; after all, the essence of this deepened cooperation was the Dawson Chamber of Commerce's investment in Lei Lin.
However, after obtaining the Level 9 Silver Dragon blood, Lei Lin proposed a new cooperation.
"Mr. Hasen, I wonder how your chamber of commerce's strength is in the Chaotic Territory?"
Hasen's heart stirred upon hearing this, secretly wondering what Lei Lin meant by asking this.
"According to recent intelligence, it seems Lei Lin has recently fallen into some kind of predicament regarding his bloodline research. Is he eyeing the Chaotic Territory because he needs test subjects?"
"If that's the case, the quantity required must be huge, otherwise finding death-row prisoners directly from the prison would be enough!"
Prepared in his heart, Hasen said directly: "Mr. Lei Lin, the conflicts and struggles between various forces in the Chaotic Territory are quite severe, making it difficult to get things done. However, as long as you need it, as the top chamber of commerce on the continent, there is nothing we at the Dawson Chamber of Commerce cannot do."
"You can completely trust the influence of our Dawson Chamber of Commerce!"
As the person in charge of the chamber of commerce in the royal capital of the Holy Alliance, he was a solid high-level executive of the Dawson Chamber of Commerce. He was qualified to say such things, or rather, he had done such things before. After all, the world is not black and white, and for the Dawson Chamber of Commerce to develop to its current state, some unspeakable things had to be done.
Lei Lin said with satisfaction: "As one of the three major chambers of commerce on the continent, I naturally believe in your chamber's strength. Our Zi'ao Family intends to develop in the Chaotic Territory, and I hope your chamber can provide some assistance."
Hasen was stunned, immediately realizing that Lei Lin didn't want to buy a large number of test subjects, and asked confusedly: "Develop in the Chaotic Territory? This... Mr. Lei Lin, I wonder if you have any understanding of the Chaotic Territory? It is not just ordinarily chaotic there."
"Whether it is commercial value or agricultural value, it is almost non-existent. Most importantly..."
Speaking of this, he pointed upward and said: "Mr. Lei Lin, you might be aware that the Chaotic Territory is a land of faith being contested by the Holy Alliance and the Dark Alliance. Before they decide a winner, any investment might just go down the drain."
Lei Lin nodded. Since he wanted to develop in the Chaotic Territory, he had naturally sent his subordinates to investigate. He knew the situation there and knew the difficulties of gaining a foothold in the Chaotic Territory.
Otherwise, he wouldn't have proposed asking the Dawson Chamber of Commerce for help, which would incur a favor!
But he wouldn't give up on the Chaotic Territory because of these difficulties. After all, there was a Planar Secret Chamber left behind by Beirut, and even more so, a super-large Magic Crystal Mine derived from that Planar Secret Chamber.
The immense wealth represented by the Magic Crystal Mine goes without saying, and the Planar Secret Chamber was a treasure that would allow him to experience the joy of cultivation in a Divine Plane while still in a material plane.
This was only because no one knew; otherwise, the Chaotic Territory would definitely be thousands of times more chaotic than it is now. Piles of Saint Realm experts, the War God, and the High Priest could fight until their brains spilled out over this Planar Secret Chamber.
"Mr. Hasen, I know the situation in the Chaotic Territory, or rather, it is precisely because of the situation there that I decided to have my family occupy a place and develop."
"There are too few Alchemists on the continent who study bloodlines. I feel that I have hit a bottleneck in my research, and only in a place like the Chaotic Territory, where there is chaos and endless strife, can I better collect the various data needed for my research."
Hasen immediately understood that Lei Lin's goal was still bloodline research, but Lei Lin wanted more than just using the Chaotic Territory as a simple source of test subjects.
"Very well, Mr. Lei Lin. I wonder if you have decided where in the Chaotic Territory to establish your family base? If not, we can provide locations in the Chaotic Territory that are relatively suitable for establishing a family base. At the same time, our chamber will establish related trading outposts to ensure the supply of various living and experimental materials for the Zi'ao Family."
Lei Lin smiled: "Hmm, I have already selected a few places, and I intend to establish outposts in these places one after another. As for the first outpost, I have chosen--Nifeng City!"
"Nifeng City, very well. I will arrange for the chamber to enter this city subsequently to ensure the basic supply of materials for the Zi'ao Family in this city." Hasen didn't remember this place, but he promised without hesitation to establish a chamber outpost there to provide assistance to the Zi'ao Family.
