A Pleasant Cooperation, Medicinal Pills Increase Strength
"Could it be that you changed your name?"
The idea flashed quickly through the mind of the Third Elder Zhu Li.
However, he did not raise this question with Zi Yan at this moment.
After all, this question is rather impolite.
The two sides are not very familiar with each other yet.
If it weren't for Zi Yan acting as an intermediary, the Ancient Void Dragon and Wang Chen would have had absolutely no connection.
It would be inappropriate to ask overly personal questions abruptly.
However, there are some necessary details that need to be understood.
Are you sure?
"This is no joke."
The Third Elder Zhu Li, spoke to Zi Yan in a very serious tone.
"Absolutely no problem."
I can guarantee that.
Seeing Zhu Li's serious expression, Zi Yan didn't joke around either, and answered in a very formal manner.
"Alright, in that case, I'll talk to him."
After saying that, he called Zi Yan and left together.
Upon entering the study, the Third Elder Zhu Li, strode up to Wang Chen.
"Young friend Wang, you don't mind me addressing you this way, do you?"
"Of course, Third Elder, please feel free to do as you please."
Wang Chen naturally wouldn't have any particular thoughts about such a trivial title.
After all, he is someone who values practical benefits the most.
It's just empty fame, not worth mentioning at all.
"I had a brief chat with Zi Yan earlier, and now I'm planning to have a private chat with you as well."
What do you think?
"Of course, no problem."
Wang Chen agreed to the private meeting proposed by the Third Elder, Zhu Li, without hesitation.
Now that he has two Heavenly Demon Puppet at the Peak Dou Sheng realm as bodyguards, Wang Chen has no fear of anyone on this Dou Qi Continent.
Even those two top-tier families wouldn't bother Wang Chen too much.
Not to mention the Ancient Void Dragon Clan, whose experts have now left and which is already in a state of disarray.
He also wanted to see what the other person was thinking.
He still needs the help of the people from East Dragon Island to collect the corpses of those Dou Sheng level beings.
It's never a bad thing to communicate more.
Without hesitation, Wang Chen quickly followed the Third Elder, Zhu Li, to the place where the elder and Zi Yan had previously been talking.
"Young friend Wang, when I spoke with Zi Yan before, he trusted you completely."
That's why I decided to tell you about this.
"Oh? What is it?"
"That's why we value this little girl Zi Yan, so much!"
The Third Elder, Zhu Li, spoke solemnly and slowly.
"Because this little girl, Zi Yan, is a descendant of the Ancient Void Dragon Emperor Bloodline the Void."
Once she grows up and fully unleashes the Dragon Emperor Bloodline, she will definitely be able to reunify the Ancient Void Dragon Clan.
"Let the fragmented and declining Ancient Void Dragon Clan rise once again to the pinnacle of the world."
When the Third Elder, Zhu Li, got to this point, his expression became somewhat fanatical.
Wang Chen was not a member of the Ancient Void Dragon Clan, so he could not empathize with this feeling of fervor.
But Wang Chen could still understand.
After all, before his transmigration, Wang Chen had seen many similar stories online.
Now that East Dragon Island has fallen into decline, the sudden appearance of a Dragon Emperor Bloodline that could potentially lead them to a comeback is bound to cause fervor.
If it weren't for Wang Chen's good relationship with Zi Yan, and the fact that they had Dou Sheng- level protector...
The Third Elder Zhu Li, would never give such a reason.
Of course, this was mainly because Wang Chen had already shown it before; he had already noticed the abnormality in Zi Yan's bloodline.
Otherwise, Zhu Li would never have decided to tell Wang Chen the truth so quickly.
"I see.
So you want to nurture Zi Yan and make her the new Dragon Emperor?
Hearing Third Elder Zhu Li's words, Wang Chen relaxed a little.
The other party actually brought up the topic directly, without Wang Chen needing to think about how to bring it up indirectly.
This means that Wang Chen's protective force will soon increase rapidly again.
Wang Chen was naturally quite excited about this great opportunity.
However, he also understood that haste makes waste.
So he pretended to have just heard the news and asked.
"Good.
We want Zi Yan to become the new Dragon Emperor."
The Third Elder, Zhu Li, stated this with absolute certainty.
"Sigh~~"
But then he sighed, shook his head, and fell silent.
Seeing Zhu Li's actions, as a transmigrator who had read many stories and novels, he naturally knew what the other party meant.
If it were based on his temperament when he transmigrated, he would have remained silent and uncooperative, regardless of his status, to see what the other party would do next.
However, everyone's relationship is still pretty good now, after all, Wang Chen still dotes on that cute little girl, Zi Yan.
In addition to their powerful bodyguards, they will also need some assistance from East Dragon Island.
So Wang Chen chose to cooperate and asked the question according to the other party's idea.
"Why is the Third Elder sighing? Is there some difficulty you're facing?"
"Zi Yan and I have a very good relationship. I will never refuse to help if I can."
Upon hearing Wang Chen's words, the Third Elder Zhu Li, no longer maintained his composure and spoke directly.
"This is also a family disgrace of my Ancient Void Dragon Clan."
"Originally, a thousand years ago, when the Old Dragon Emperor was still in power..."
My Ancient Void Dragon Clan is the absolute overlord of this Central Plains.
Even those Ancient Emperor Clans have to give us face."
"However, since the Old Dragon Emperor disappeared, several powerful Dou Sheng elders from East Dragon Island have left one after another to travel and hone their strength."
This led to a significant weakening of East Dragon Island's strength.
"As for the other three collateral Dragon Island, their current strength has surpassed that of East Dragon Island, and they have long harbored rebellious intentions."
"If they weren't wary of potential backup plans, they might have already attacked."
"Under normal circumstances, they might continue to be wary of East Dragon Island's backup plan and dare not take any action."
But once the news of the Dragon Emperor Bloodline is exposed, the other three Dragon Island are very likely to gamble everything.
"At that time, I'm afraid not only Zi Yan will be in danger, but even East Dragon Island will cease to exist."
At this point, the Third Elder, Zhu Li, paused and glanced at Wang Chen.
Seeing that Wang Chen had no intention of speaking, he continued.
"Therefore, I want Zi Yan to stay on East Dragon Island and grow up in secret. At least until we can counter the combined power of the other three Dragon Island, the news of the Dragon Emperor Bloodline cannot be exposed."
"So, I hope you can keep this a secret."
Although the Third Elder Zhu Li, really wanted the experts behind Wang Chen to help Zi Yan.
However, I also understand the principle that it's easy to invite a god but difficult to send him away.
This is an internal matter of the Ancient Void Dragon Clan. If external forces get involved, it could easily lead to the Ancient Void Dragon Clan being controlled by outsiders.
Zhu Li could clearly distinguish which was more important.
Therefore, he only asked Wang Chen and the others to keep it a secret, and did not ask for help from the forces behind Wang Chen.
"Third Elder, your thinking is wrong."
There's no such thing as a thousand days of thievery, no one can guard against thieves forever.
"No one can guarantee that Zi Yan's message won't get out."
"If we don't deal with those three disloyal Dragon Island, Zi Yan could be in danger at any moment."
The other party didn't ask for direct help, but Wang Chen wouldn't actually refuse to help.
Whether it's for Zi Yan's sake or for his own, it doesn't matter.
I absolutely have to help him.
What you said makes a lot of sense.
However, with its current strength, East Dragon Island is struggling to even protect itself, let alone conquer the other three Dragon Island."
Although Zhu Li felt uncomfortable, she wouldn't disregard the facts.
If East Dragon Island truly possessed the strength to overhaul the other three Dragon Island, it would have already taken action.
It was simply impossible for it to have been delayed until now.
Is it because they don't want to fight?
That's because they can't beat them, you know!
"As Zi Yan's good friend, I naturally cannot stand by and watch her remain in a dangerous situation."
Just because East Dragon Island doesn't have that strength right now doesn't mean it never will.
Besides, as Zi Yan's good friend, I won't stand idly by either."
Wang Chen patted his chest and said righteously.
"Moreover, I am a top-tier Alchemist is almost at the ninth rank."
You experts of the Ancient Void Dragon, just ask if you need my help refining pills.
As for compensation, it doesn't matter whether I give it or not.
Wang Chen's words were incredibly sincere and heartfelt.
It was as if they were wholeheartedly helping the Ancient Void Dragon Clan.
Of course, the truth is not like that.
He's a transmigrator who prioritizes self-interest above all else, not the selfless Lei Hong.
The reason for saying this is mainly because this little girl, Zi Yan, will later become the Dragon Emperor of the Ancient Void Dragon.
Zi Yan is one of our own, so there's no need to be so calculating.
The second thing that Wang Chen values most is not some so-called resource.
Compared to the corpses of the other three experts from Dragon Island, a mere amount of resources is nothing.
Thirdly, unless the other party is a truly unscrupulous capitalist, they would never treat a close friend like that.
The more they say that, the more reward they'll definitely receive.
Even if the other party doesn't offer any reward, Wang Chen doesn't care.
If using a little bit of so-called resources can help you understand the other party, it's still very worthwhile.
Upon hearing Wang Chen's words, Zhu Li was also greatly shocked.
He never expected that Wang Chen's Yao Tian would be so terrifying.
At such a young age, they already possess skills approaching those of Ninth-Grade Alchemist.
This is no simple matter.
Let alone someone as old as Wang Chen, even an older Ninth-Grade Alchemist is extremely rare in the entire Central Plains.
Of course, this was mainly because Zhu Li didn't know that Wang Chen was just being modest.
His so-called "near-ninth grade" certification is mainly based on the Golden Finger panel certification.
According to the Alchemist ranking system of the Dou Qi Continent, Wang Chen could definitely be considered Ninth-Grade Treasure Pill Alchemist.
After all, he now has a roughly 50% success rate in refining Ninth-Grade Treasure Pill.
With this level of skill, anywhere in Central Plains would recognize Wang Chen as Ninth-Grade Treasure Pill Alchemist.
This can also be of great help to the current Ancient Void Dragon Clan.
After all, although the Ancient Void Dragon is a magical beast, it has a strong ability to absorb and digest those medicinal herbs.
However, compared to taking elixirs, directly swallowing medicinal herbs is still far less efficient.
"We really need your help now, you Advanced Alchemist."
Zhu Li pondered for a moment, then quickly replied.
"My Ancient Void Dragon Clan has accumulated some wealth, but we don't have a single Advanced Alchemist who can transform that wealth into power."
Now I would like to ask you to help me refine it."
"The compensation will be 30% higher than what a normal Alchemist would receive."
The Third Elder Zhu Li, also spoke with a touch of humility.
Of course, while the words were spoken humbly, the expression was anything but.
But that's normal.
There might be controversy about which race in Central Plains is the most powerful.
However, if we're talking about which race or faction is best at collecting treasures and has the most powerful collection foundation, then...
If the Ancient Void Dragon Clan is second, absolutely no one would dare to claim to be first.
A talent for treasure hunting combined with spatial abilities—it's a perfect match.
No treasure can escape the search of the Ancient Void Dragon.
Even though East Dragon Island is now weakened, its rich heritage and treasures are still incredibly powerful.
Once this wealth of resources can be transformed into strength, East Dragon Island's combat power will definitely increase by leaps and bounds.
Increasing combat power at the Saint level might be a bit difficult, but it's still quite possible to increase it significantly for experts at the Dou Zun level.
After all, the Ancient Void Dragon Clan of the Void could still gather enough materials to make the Barrier-Breaking Pill.
However, since there were no trustworthy Alchemist in the past, those medicinal herbs could only be absorbed using the simplest methods.
The results weren't particularly good.
But now that there's a trustworthy Advanced Alchemist, things are completely different.
"That's absolutely no problem."
Wang Chen did not refuse the request from the Third Elder, Zhu Li.
Although what he truly desired most were the corpses of the other three masters from Dragon Island.
But as the saying goes, haste makes waste.
Everything needs to be done step by step.
Without any foreplay, jumping straight to the point is far too simplistic and crude.
The experience will definitely not be comfortable.
First, we should increase the strength of East Dragon Island. Then, when it comes time to take action, they will be more confident.
Otherwise, with the limited strength of East Dragon Island, it would be difficult to deal with even one Dragon Island, let alone the fact that Wang Chen's target is three Dragon Island.
You can't just talk the talk without offering anything in return.
As for directly unleashing Heavenly Demon Puppet at the Peak Dou Sheng, that might indeed persuade the other party to agree.
However, it's also possible to overdo it.
After all, coercion and voluntariness are two completely different experiences.
Let them have some benefits first, and they won't refuse anymore.
After agreeing on the matter of refining the medicine, the Third Elder Zhu Li, became even more enthusiastic towards Wang Chen.
After exchanging a few more words, Wang Chen suggested that they go and refine the pills as soon as possible to avoid wasting time.
Of course, this was mainly because Wang Chen was a little impatient to see the corpses of the other three experts from Dragon Island.
Bringing East Dragon Island onto the ship sooner will allow us to reap a huge harvest sooner.
Third Elder Zhu Li was very pleased with Wang Chen's enthusiastic help.
They were even more satisfied with the young man, Wang Chen.
If he didn't have no granddaughter, and if Wang Chen weren't surrounded by several beautiful women, he might even be looking for a son-in-law.
