"Jianlong, you still don't understand me. Once I give something away, I never take it back. There's no need to stand on ceremony and refuse me in the future, either. Merit deserves reward."
On Fire Dragon Island, seeing that the Sanyuan Nine Palaces Seven Stars Grand Formation was complete, Red Corpse was thoroughly satisfied. He took out the Purple-Pistil Blood-Lotus Calyx to give to Wu Qingbo.
Hearing this, Wu Qingbo could no longer refuse and accepted it.
"I'll still have to trouble you for a while yet. The Abyss of Separation is a fine place, and forming the formation isn't its only use. There are two more priorities we need to attend to.
"First, Yellow Sulfur Island. They've discovered many Flint Beads and Xixi Fish deep in the sea of fire there. These are all rare treasures. At first, I put Mengyang in charge of harvesting them, but while he can fight, he's a complete mess at managing things. He's killed quite a few Xixi Fish. All those years as a guard commander, and he hasn't improved at all.
"I sent Yellow Heaven Zhi, who's good at this sort of thing, to assist him, but he kept beating and berating him. There was nothing I could do. After thinking it over, I've decided you should go and take charge. Above all, you must treat the Xixi Fish clan with a gentle hand.
"Second, we need to find suitable islands and reefs near the spiritual vein to serve as Body Tempering grounds for Lower Realm Fire Corpses. This is our utmost priority, as it concerns the future development of our Li Fire Sea. I intend to entrust this to you as well.
