The Great Xia Dynasty's Longevity Begins with Connecting to the Swallowed Starry Sky

Chapter 121 Dragon Soul Jade, Dragon Egg, Crab General, Roster

"this?"

"If these aren't enough, what about these?"

Another thousand planetary-level golems fell.

"Where are these?"

One hundred stellar-level puppets fell.

"Where are these?"

Another hundred heads.

Although they are both at the first or second realm of strength.

But when you add them all up, it's not a small number.

Moreover, it subtly forms a Ten Directions Formation, and the power it unleashes is enough to contend with even those in the third realm.

It's just a matter of resistance.

Defeating, or even killing, is very difficult.

But what Qin Hao wanted them to do was not to kill the strong.

Such a person could naturally be killed by Ao Hui with a single grab.

What these puppets are meant to do is deal with those low-level demons.

"Are there enough puppets like these?"

Clearly, these puppets alone may not be enough.

The entrance to the demon realm looked quite large.

Otherwise, there would be no need for Ao Hui to be suppressed here.

Qin Hao guessed that Xia and another person probably used some trickery, or even sweet talk, to deceive Ao Hui and have her suppressed here.

Otherwise, Ao Hui wouldn't keep calling the old man and the big bad guy.

Her vocabulary was very limited; she only had these two words to describe bad people.

It certainly looks childish.

It's like a naive young girl.

Qin Hao laughed and said, "Now that I've joined the Heavenly Refinement Valley, I can get as many puppets as I want as long as I have the resources."

Ao Hui paused for a moment, then said, "That Pengze Lake outside, forget it. I've already given you that place, so..."

She reached out and wiped her body, and a dragon scale came out.

There were no wounds on its body, so it must have shed its skin earlier.

She held a dragon scale in her hand, thought for a moment, and then said, "How about I give you this?"

She reached out again, and an egg appeared in her claw.

This is?

Qin Hao was somewhat shocked and looked at Ao Hui with suspicion.

This is undoubtedly a dragon egg.

That's right, dragons, like mammals, need a long gestation period.

However, their offspring were not directly dragons.

It was a dragon egg.

These dragon eggs need further incubation.

During this process, the dragons in the dragon eggs will receive the inheritance of the dragon race.

It is also the ability to nurture bloodlines.

"What are you thinking, you brat!"

Ao Hui was clearly exasperated: "This was left behind by another big bad guy back then, the one who fought with that old guy Xia."

However, this dragon egg has some problems. It was born without a soul, and despite being nurtured here for so many years, there has been no improvement.

According to the agreement made back then, this thing belongs to me.

At this point, she seemed somewhat nostalgic and hesitant.

But she quickly cut off her reverie and said, "Originally, I planned to refine it into an avatar."

However, I see that you also have dragon blood, and you are refining your bloodline. Are you planning to force the dragon bloodline out of your body?

This dragon egg belongs to a seven-colored dragon, possessing all five elements and carrying yin and yang bloodlines.

It would be most suitable for you to refine it into a second primordial spirit.

Qin Hao was certainly tempted. One of his goals for this trip to Fuyu County was to reach the Dragon Palace of Falling Star Lake.

The goal is to obtain a dragon egg.

Dragons have a low birth rate, but they have a long lifespan.

Even ordinary dragons cultivate with only sporadic effort.

Even those with the right bloodline can reach the third realm.

Even the worst can reach the peak of the second realm.

Moreover, those with dragon bloodlines have a lifespan of at least eight hundred years.

Even with a low birth rate, the dragon race would still have a considerable number of offspring over such a long period.

However, many dragon eggs actually have various problems.

Some of them will not actually hatch.

Hatching dragons requires a lot of resources.

Grandmother Chu Xiuying's previous plan was also to obtain such a dragon egg for Qin Hao.

It only requires that there is no problem with the bloodline, but rather with the spirit.

He can perfectly control the dragon's body by integrating his own bloodline into it.

This is the best and most suitable treasure for Qin Hao's second primordial spirit.

Therefore, Qin Hao gave the Yuanpin Pearl that Master Yunhua of Tianlian Valley had given him to Qin Zhenyuan.

"Perhaps you should keep this for yourself, senior."

"Need not."

Ao Hui said, but at this moment, her gaze towards Qin Hao had softened considerably: "Over the years, if I really wanted to refine an avatar, it wouldn't be difficult. But I'll pass. Doing so would taint my dragon soul with the bloodline of the acquired dragon race, and with karma. That would be detrimental to me, but..."

After thinking for a moment, Ao Hui stretched out her claw and stabbed herself in the heart.

Then, a drop of blood was revealed.

But the moment that drop of blood appeared, it quickly congealed into a piece of jade.

Ao Hui handed over the jade: "However, it would be boring for a dragon to stay here."

You can take my Dragon Soul Jade with you when you leave.

As for the dragon egg, I'll give it to you as well.

"If there's anything you need, well, if there's nothing else, please don't bother this old woman."

After saying that, Ao Hui said no more and closed her eyes.

Just as Qin Hao was about to speak, he felt an immense repulsive force on his body, as if he were being expelled from this place.

When Qin Hao opened his eyes, he had returned to his own body.

Qin Hao shook his head with a wry smile, but still planned to buy more puppets later.

These were originally intended for him to use to guard the Six Doors branch after arriving in Fuyu County.

Now most of it has been handed over to Ao Hui.

Looking at the jade in his hand, Qin Hao was just wondering whether to put it in his storage bag, or...

Then the jade transformed into a divine light and merged into Qin Hao's sea of ​​consciousness.

Then, a sound of surprise and doubt arose.

Clearly, Ao Hui had discovered the two treasures in his sea of ​​consciousness.

Qin Hao saw the Dragon Soul Jade and was about to go over to examine the treasure.

Then, a flash of golden light appeared, and the Dragon Soul Jade was forced out.

"I just don't believe it..."

Ao Hui's exasperated little voice reappeared, and then the jade rushed into her sea of ​​consciousness again.

But soon after, a flash of golden light appeared, and this time, golden threads pierced out.

Ao Hui let out a deafening dragon roar.

"Grandma..."

"Oh dear, my dear aunt."

Qin Hao quickly stopped him, saying, "Let's calm down. The aquatic creatures outside have all been stunned by your outburst."

The dragon race, as a superior bloodline of the aquatic race, along with most of the aquatic creatures in Pengze Lake, were formed by Ao Hui's dragon energy.

Her dragon roar was very effective against these aquatic creatures.

However, Ao Hui stubbornly tried several more times, but was ultimately defeated.

They could only obediently stay at the edge of Qin Hao's sea of ​​consciousness.

However, from her cold snort, it was clear that she refused to accept reality.

Qin Hao was speechless and too lazy to care anymore.

As long as Ao Hui doesn't forcefully test things and causes trouble.

Let her be.

"Major construction has begun here."

There's no need to rush to Fuyu County for now.

Wait for news. My base here in Daxia also needs to be built up slowly.

We also need to figure out the strength of the Pengze Lake Dragon Palace.

I didn't have time before, but now I can take stock.

Just then, Turtle Lord came to inquire.

"Young Master, what has happened?"

This is to inquire about Ao Hui.

Just now, Ao Hui and the Hongmeng Treasure Mirror had a falling out, and Ao Hui was sent out repeatedly. Those dragon roars just now were felt most deeply by the aquatic creatures in the Dragon Palace.

Even Song Fugui and others sensed it.

Qin Hao is the only person who can contact Ao Hui because he has a contract with her.

Naturally, Turtle Lord would come to inquire.

"nothing."

Qin Hao offered a reassuring remark and was about to ask Turtle Lord about the Dragon Palace's manpower.

Gui Qiansui took out an account book first and said, "Young Master, this is the current account book of the Dragon Palace, the treasure vault, and the roster."

That old tortoise is quite savvy.

Qin Hao was also a little puzzled. Didn't a fourth-realm demon have any other pursuits?
He has been running the Dragon Palace for tens of thousands of years, and the wealth in the Dragon Palace's treasury is enough to make him, if not the richest man in the Great Xia Dynasty.

But it won't be bad either.

Is Turtle Thousand Years really willing to hand it over?
"Little Lord."

Perhaps because of his advanced age, the old turtle noticed Qin Hao's confusion and bowed, saying, "Young Master, there's no need to worry. Ten thousand years ago, I was just an ordinary turtle."

It was through the Lord's grace that their spiritual intelligence was awakened.

"Ten thousand years of cultivation, and I've only reached the fourth realm? My aptitude is truly lacking."

To say that someone lacks qualifications is impossible.

Those with poor aptitude won't be able to endure the test of time.

Turtles do indeed have long lifespans; ordinary turtles can live for hundreds of years.

Those that have become sentient beings can easily live for thousands of years.

The person before us is far from reaching the end of their lifespan.

Qin Hao had a guess about what Turtle Thousand Years Old was planning.

Sure enough, Turtle Thousand Years said, "This old turtle is grateful. Since the master has bestowed the Dragon Palace upon the young master, this old turtle will naturally obey the young master's orders."

Secondly, the old tortoise also thought that when the young master ascended to immortality in the future, the old tortoise would also ascend.

Gui Qiansui looked up and smiled, "After all, the Upper Realm isn't exactly peaceful either."

Ok?
It seems this old tortoise knows something about the upper realm.

But when Qin Hao asked, Gui Qiansui shook his head: "Young Master, you should first consolidate your power in the Qianyang Realm and focus on your cultivation."

These underground things aren't just found in the Qianyang Realm.

Although he didn't say it, it was as if he did.

Moreover, Qin Hao knew that there was more than one Heavenly Court in the Upper Realm.

Where there are people, there are rivers and lakes.

This statement is absolutely correct.

Finally, Turtle Thousand Years Old added, "In addition, the Dragon Palace has two aquatic beings at the fourth realm."

The old servant usually helps manage various parts of the Dragon Palace and cannot go out with the young master.

Let General Crab accompany the young master and protect him.

However, if the young master commands, this old servant can come at any time.

After all, he is in the fourth realm, and even though he is the young master, Qin Hao still has to show him respect.

Moreover, the Dragon Palace's configuration is basically standard.

The dragon race also bestows favors upon the aquatic creatures below them; the position of Turtle Prime Minister is almost always held by a turtle.

Otherwise, what would you call him, Turtle Prime Minister?

After the report concluded, Turtle Lord took his leave, and Qin Hao opened the account book to take a look.

He wasn't in a hurry to look at the treasures.

Pengze Lake is not large, but it is still about 800 li long.

The accumulation of thousands of years should not be underestimated.

Moreover, although the Dragon Palace of Pengze Lake rarely ventures out, the Prefect of Yuzhang and some high-level cultivators still occasionally come here to conduct some transactions.

Therefore, the treasure vault must contain a very rich collection.

Qin Hao first looked at the roster of aquatic creatures in the Dragon Palace.

Only military affairs and sacrifices cannot be shared with others.

This is true in every world.

Political power grows out of the barrel of a gun; only by holding military power can one guarantee the ability to manipulate events at will in the Great Xia.

First are the aquatic creatures of the fourth realm.

There are two in total.

One of them is Turtle Thousand Years Old, the peak of the fourth realm.

It's definitely not true, as he himself said, that he lacked the necessary qualifications.

However, while the claims from the upper realm have some credibility, they are not entirely accurate.

Fortunately, Ao Hui was there to keep things in check, preventing any major disturbances.

Most likely, they still have some desires, and if they're not excessive, they'll be given those in the future.

The second one is General Crab, the primordial spirit of the second stage of the fourth realm.

At this moment, the crab general walked in, bowed, and stood aside.

This is definitely a personal bodyguard.

Not speaking probably means they're not used to communicating with people.

But that's alright, I can just do the job of a guard.

He's got some influence now.

There aren't many guards of the fourth realm in the Qianyang Realm, are there?

Although the aquatic creatures have come ashore, their fighting power has decreased.

However, by the fourth realm, this influence has become minimal.

Moreover, crabs are a species that can fight once they come ashore.

If equipped with magical artifacts like water-retaining beads, the combat power on land and in water wouldn't differ too much.

Of course, the aquatic environment definitely has its advantages.

The interior of the Dragon Palace is actually isolated from water.

This was arranged to facilitate Qin Hao and the others.

In the past, the Dragon Palace must have always been filled with water.

Qin Hao ignored General Crab and continued looking at the roster.

Below are several palaces containing fish, shrimp, crabs, and other aquatic creatures.

There are ten people at the peak of the third realm.

Lacking certain resources and opportunities, a new fourth realm advancement could occur at any time.

Upon reaching the fourth realm, the cultivation of martial arts and Qi refining ultimately lead to the same goal, despite their different paths.

It is divided into the Burning Lamp, the Primordial Spirit, and the Yang Spirit.

Qin Hao was particularly concerned that in this Fish Palace, carp held a high status and had more advanced cultivation levels.

It's easy to understand if you think about it for a moment.

Carp are a species of dragon, and the dragon veins within their bodies are relatively easy to transform.

There are two directions for the cultivation of carp in the aquatic world. One is to cultivate in the form of a fish, which is the path of a demon.

The other one is to transform into a dragon.

In addition, there is a crucian carp aquarium that is very sensitive to fragrance and has a good grasp of the art of aromatherapy.

Qin Hao circled the area and notified Turtle Thousand Years, asking this crucian carp aquatic creature to take on more apprentices.

This will also be a major commodity for the Dragon Palace to trade with the outside world in the future.

Not just Great Xia, or even just Qianyang Realm.

All realms can be traded.

Aromatherapy has many uses; it can not only help calm the mind, but also aid in martial arts practice, and even some physical cultivation practices have corresponding aromatherapy options.

Qin Hao saw quite a few products.

In addition, there were other aquatic creatures, which Qin Hao examined one by one and memorized.

He made a booklet and sent it to Turtle Prince.

This is the focus and direction for the future development of Pengze Lake Dragon Palace.

In addition, there was a roster to be given to Gui Qiansui, so that he and Song Fugui could discuss finding partners.

One of them is undoubtedly Fortis Bank.

The second, of course, is the Anyuan Earl's Mansion.

This is a small family, but it is the family from which Qin Hao comes from.

Now that Qin Hao has become successful, he naturally has to take care of the Qin family.

The third possibility is Yuzhang Commandery, and the Great Xia royal family.

Pengze Lake, along with its surrounding two hundred li, now belongs to Qin Hao.

However, it is surrounded by the Great Xia, so any trade would inevitably involve the Great Xia.

Of course, it's not that the Southern Jin Dynasty is off-limits for trade.

Previously, he was the youngest grandson of the Earl of Anyuan of the Great Xia Dynasty, so naturally he had to stand from the perspective of the Great Xia Dynasty.

Now that he is the master of Pengze Lake, his position is different, and his perspective on issues is naturally different as well.

"It's time to go back. The Golden Horned Beast should be arriving soon, right?"

This is an opportunity we can't miss.

This should be considered the beginning of Luo Feng's rise, and once the Golden Horned Beast hatches, it will be more difficult to capture it later.

Moreover, the stronger the golden horned beast, the more difficult it is to possess its body.

It needs to be restricted.
