"But the question is..." Xiao Hua swept his gaze over Ao Sheng and asked mildly, "Ao Dai brought Dragon Fertility out of Dragon Island, and there were even dragons who took Dragon Fertility into the Diecui Relic Realm. What... were they doing it for?"
"This..." Ao Sheng still hesitated and waved his claw. "This matter is one of Dragon Island's secrets. True Person, it would be better if you did not know."
"Why?" Xiao Hua asked curiously. "At this point, are you still keeping the elders' instructions in mind?"
"Yes!" Ao Sheng sighed. "Had it been anyone else, I might have told them. But facing True Person, I do not dare speak of it carelessly!"
"Then that is strange. Could it be because of this old man's Dragon Vein Dharma Body?" Xiao Hua seemed determined to break the casserole and get to the bottom of it.
Ao Sheng smiled. "That is naturally one reason, but it is not the most important one!"
"How odd. Then what is the most important reason?"
"True Person... is somewhat greedy!" Ao Sheng said with an ingratiating smile. "I fear that if I tell you, True Person will start getting ideas again!"
"Haha, you are absolutely right!" Xiao Hua laughed loudly and swept out his hand. Wherever his divine sense reached, be it enormous trees or dragon corpses, all were taken into his space! What was more, Xiao Hua even raised the As-You-Wish Staff. The staff rose, trees fell, and in only a short while, more than a dozen giant trees had been collected into his space.
"No way, True Person!" Ao Sheng gaped and asked, "You... what do you need all this wood for?"
"To build a thunder boat!" Xiao Hua answered without concealing anything. "Once this old man builds it, you will understand!
