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

Chapter 131 Inventorying the Treasure Vault, Departure in Ten Days
With this thought in mind, Qin Hao transferred his true spirit.

Chen Yang transforms into Qin Hao.

Qin Hao opened his eyes, a sharp glint flashing within them.

"My understanding of time and space has improved a little bit again."

Frequent transformations of the true spirit, altering time and space.

It did indeed enhance Qin Hao's understanding of time and space.

However, this will not make Qin Hao obsessed with time travel.

One is that each transformation is actually a burden on the true spirit.

If one becomes too engrossed in time-space transformations in a short period of time, it will increase the burden on the true spirit.

In severe cases, it could even lead to the collapse of the true spirit.

It was precisely for this reason that Qin Hao chose to perform the True Spirit Transformation only when necessary.

Qin Hao was not in a hurry to inventory the treasure vault.

Although nearly two years have passed on the other side of the world.

However, due to the sixty-fold increase in time flow, and the fact that Qin Hao's true spirit would occasionally switch back, this was also a factor.

Only half a month has passed here.

General Crab stood outside Qin Hao's palace. He was now the master of Pengze Lake and the Dragon King of this Dragon Palace.

This point, for the time being, remains merely nominal.

But on the dragon bed, a seven-colored dragon egg is shining brightly.

One-tenth of the dragon bloodline within Qin Hao's body has been condensed and forced into this dragon egg.

Qin Hao could feel that his connection with the dragon egg was increasing day by day.

"Once all the dragon blood in my body is forced into this dragon egg, it will begin to gestate. The second primordial spirit should hatch within about a year."

This can't be rushed.

Qin Hao withdrew his gaze, deciding that he could do this while cultivating.

Qin Hao got up and had just come out when he saw General Crab come to his side.

General Crab didn't talk much, but he never neglected his duties.

Upon reaching the fourth stage, one can recover through occasional meditation and live on qi, without needing to eat or deliberately sleep.

Even during battles, going three months without sleep or rest is not difficult.

Taking some pills to restore one's vital energy and continue fighting for several years is a minor matter.

Qin Hao didn't say anything and headed straight for the Dragon Palace Treasury.

The Crab General was extremely familiar with the layout of the Dragon Palace; with a flash of his eyes, he knew exactly where the Dragon Palace wanted to go.

General Crab had no objection to this.

Qin Hao is now the master of Pengze Lake, and they are all his subordinates. The Dragon Palace Treasure Vault naturally belongs to Qin Hao.

As soon as they came out, they saw Song Fugui from afar.

"Brother Qin."

Song Fugui greeted him, but then his eyes narrowed and he hesitated.

Qin Hao beckoned, and Song Fugui approached.

However, the fear in his eyes for General Crab had not yet faded.

As a cultivator from the God of Wealth lineage, Song Fugui possessed an immense number of magical treasures.

But no amount of magical treasures can bridge the gap in strength.

Even his father, the clan chief, would probably be no match for the aquatic tribes of the fourth realm.

No matter how many magical treasures are added, the gap cannot be bridged.

"Perhaps, some of the old monsters hidden within the clan could help?"

Fortunately, Song Fugui realized that he and Qin Hao were not enemies.

On the contrary, they are friends and collaborators.

Thinking of his collaborator, Song Fugui smiled.

But that smile was also a little awkward.

He originally thought he was the young master of Futong Money House, and that he was richer than a country.

However, in this collaboration, Qin Hao still takes the lead.

There's nothing we can do; he's the Dragon King of Pengze Lake, which spans eight hundred li.

Moreover, Pengze Lake has expanded to some extent over the past two weeks.

This was something that not only Song Fugui, but also others noticed.

They didn't know why, but considering Qin Hao's previous words, they had some guesses.

Below...

Song Fugui withdrew his gaze, a chill running down his spine.

For some reason, at that moment, he felt as if he were being watched by a giant dragon.

Underground, Ao Hui withdrew her gaze and chuckled, "How interesting. This little guy is full of treasures; he seems to have quite a lot of them."

Her eyes were golden, and her gaze was filled with greed.

Dragons are all greedy for money.

The Four Seas Dragon Clan perfectly exemplifies this point.

Even this innate dragon race is no exception.

However, if Qin Hao heard this voice, he would find it both surprising and perfectly reasonable.

Is it actually a bit immature?

Qin Hao was unaware of these things, so he asked, "Brother Song, how is the cooperation with Futong Bank going?"

Originally, Qin Hao was supposed to collaborate with Song Fugui and Xie Lingyun near Pengze Lake.

But he became the master of Pengze Lake, and the area within a radius of eight hundred li, plus the area within a radius of two hundred li on land, all belonged to him.

With such a large scale, Song Fugui alone is no longer able to handle it.

Xie Lingyun was the same.

So after discussion, Song Fugui, representing Futong Money Shop, and Xie Lingyun, representing Diancang Sect, decided to cooperate with Qin Hao.

However, Qin Hao has not yet met the leader of the Diancang Sect or the owner of the Futong Money Exchange.

Song Fugui nodded: "The money exchange has already dispatched three thousand geomancers, who will arrive within three days."

Then, it will take about six months to divide the land within a radius of two hundred miles.

It will be developed into four medicinal herb gardens.

The event will include various breeding and planting areas, including mountainous areas, spiritual fields, and spiritual ponds. Later, cultivators from the Diancang Sect, including their true disciples, and five hundred spiritual plant masters from my Futong Money House will arrive.

The development of Pengze Lake will be carried out without affecting the soil quality.

The principles of sustainable development are naturally understood by cultivators in the world of cultivation more thoroughly than by ordinary scientists.

A geomancer is a professional who cultivates sacred fields and is also extremely skilled at maintaining the land.

Plant Masters are roughly equivalent to the Butterfly Wing Clan in that they are extremely skilled at cultivating plants.

Of course, these plant masters are probably not as capable as the Butterfly Wing Clan.

After all, that's their racial talent; they're born a combination of plant master and geomancer.

Of course, they did not have the corresponding tradition.

These still need to be brought back by Qin Hao from the Great Xia World.

The geomancers and plant masters at Futong Money House are professions that cultivators acquire through gradual cultivation of corresponding skills.

Qin Hao was very satisfied, and judging from Song Fugui's expression, he was also very satisfied.

"I see your entire body radiating precious energy; the day you break through to a higher realm is just around the corner, isn't it?"

The spiritual practice at Futong Money Exchange is different from that of ordinary people.

Qin Hao and the others all cultivate true qi, comprehend momentum, and even laws.

This will strengthen their own capabilities.

The Futong Money Shop's method of cultivation involves accumulating wealth and treasure through transactions.

This is how one cultivates oneself.

Of course, they also need what ordinary cultivators need.

Posture is not dominant.

Speaking of this, Song Fugui took two steps back and bowed to Qin Hao: "Speaking of this, I have to thank Brother Qin. Without Brother Qin, I'm afraid I wouldn't have been able to advance so quickly."

Not only did Song Fugui advance in rank, but the wealth and treasures he obtained from such a large transaction were also extremely pure.

This laid a solid foundation for other cultivators.

The road ahead will be even smoother.

This kind of cultivation cannot be cheated; transactions must be completed by the cultivators of Futong Money House themselves. If an elder interferes, for example, Song Fugui's father, Song Yuanbao, completes a transaction and then transfers it to Song Fugui.

Or someone might have accepted Song Yuanbao's instructions and made a deal with Song Fugui, but the effect would have been minimal, if not negligible.

The input and output are not proportional; it can only be described as a loss-making business.

Fortis Bank wouldn't do that.

Qin Hao nodded: "Then I will set off for Fuyu County in about ten days. Do you plan to stay, or..."

After thinking for a moment, Song Fugui said, "I'd better go with Brother Qin."

There's nothing to worry about regarding safety this time when we go to Buyeo County.

That crab general is a fourth-realm aquatic creature, so even though his strength is somewhat limited because he has come ashore.

However, as long as you bring the water-retaining beads, your strength will be limited.

Besides, even a restricted fourth realm is still a fourth realm.

Such extravagant use of resources was probably beyond the means of Emperor Hengming of the Xia Dynasty.

But Qin Hao only has Pengze Lake as his base, so keeping Turtle Prime Minister is enough.

General Crab can go out.

Besides, Pengze Lake has quite a few aquatic creatures at the peak of the third realm, so it's unlikely that anyone would dare to cause trouble.

Besides, according to legend, there is a primordial divine dragon down there.

Song Fugui felt as if everyone was watching his entire body's precious aura.

"Dragons can't cultivate using precious energy. I don't understand why these dragons are so greedy."

When he thought about being greedy, Song Fugui didn't think that being greedy was anything bad or strange.

But as he was thinking this, for some reason, he felt as if he heard a dragon's roar in his ear.

Song Fugui couldn't help but cover his ears; it was too noisy.

"What's wrong, Brother Song?" Qin Hao asked with concern.

In fact, he also keenly noticed a clue.

However, Qin Hao cleverly did not point it out directly, but instead pretended that he knew nothing about it.

Song Fugui must have angered the old dragon underground for some reason.

Yeah, I shouldn't think about it too much.

Although he has the protection of the Primordial Mirror and the Golden Thread Treasure, it is not necessarily possible for him to completely defend against the old dragon below.

It's best to think less and less.

Song Fugui stood up, his face filled with shock.

His guess was confirmed, so how could he dare to offend them again?
"nothing."

Now, Song Fugui was no longer worried about the safety of Pengze Lake.

The safety of the Spirit Field and other facilities developed in collaboration with Qin Hao has been elevated to the highest level in this world.

Even the Futong Money Exchange is not as safe as being guarded by a dragon with the world's top combat power.

Qin Hao nodded and added, "Then Brother Song, please make a list for me and bring enough people. We'll set off in ten days."

Then, Qin Hao turned around and said, "I'll go and make some preparations first."

Improving one's own abilities is also a form of preparation.

And the world-devouring side also needs more wealth.

At the auction a year later, Qin Hao wanted to buy more things.

Qin Hao planned to set off after the auction.

Sixty times the speed of time flow is enough.

Before long, he arrived outside the Dragon Palace Treasury.

The treasure vault of this Dragon Palace is also protected by multiple layers of defense.

In addition to the formation, there were also shrimp soldiers and crab generals, along with various aquatic soldiers, providing impenetrable protection.

This shows that Prime Minister Turtle's management skills are quite good.

He managed the 800-li Pengze Lake extremely well.

Although it cannot compare to other famous dragon palaces.

"I wonder how it compares to the Dragon Palace at Falling Star Lake in Fuyu County?"

In terms of both the quality and quantity of experts, let's not even mention Ao Hui.

Pengze Lake cannot compare to Luoxing Lake Dragon Palace.

It is said that this Dragon King of Luoxing Lake Dragon Palace walks the path of an innate god or demon.

Their strength is extremely formidable.

Otherwise, they would not have been able to occupy and firmly hold onto Luoxing Lake in Fuyu County, a place where many ethnic groups meet.

There must be a Turtle Prime Minister in the fourth realm.

There are probably no fewer than two other individuals at the fourth realm.

Qin Hao wasn't sure, after all, such high-level combat power was extremely difficult for people at the bottom to grasp.

But this place is protected by Ao Hui, and it also has some local specialties, so it's sure to be quite wealthy.

"Well, it's hard to say whether it can compare to Falling Star Lake."

After all, Ao Hui couldn't come out. In the past, Pengze Lake Dragon Palace only traded with a few cultivators who came to visit.

They rarely come out.

Aside from some local specialties, the Dragon Palace Treasury probably doesn't have that many artifacts.

It's at least not as good as Luoxing Lake Dragon Palace.

"Open the door, the Dragon King wants to go in and check the treasure vault."

"It's General Crab," he said.

This was one of the very few times Qin Hao heard the Crab General speak; he was rather quiet and preferred to get things done.

However, Qin Hao did not bring any other maids with him this time, and General Crab would not allow Qin Hao, the Dragon King, to speak in person.
That would be too devaluable.

Two black fish-like creatures emerged, both being beings at the third realm.

Layer upon layer of magic arrays were opened, and layer upon layer of restrictions were closed.

Although Qin Hao's strength was not great, the intense dragon breath emanating from him, the aura of the upper dragon lord Ao Hui, made these aquatic creatures subconsciously accept Qin Hao's rule.

This is the hierarchy among the aquatic people, the social order upon which they rely for survival.

The Dragon Lord's will is above all else.

Any aquatic creature that does not disrupt the order and does not want to leave the Dragon Palace will accept this setting.

About fifteen minutes later, Qin Hao stood in front of the last gate.

The blackfish aquatic creature said, "This last gate requires the Dragon King's key to open. No one else can open it."

Qin Hao asked curiously, "Then how were those treasures placed there before?"

Since it requires the Dragon King's key to open it.

So how did Prime Minister Turtle open it before?
This key was given to me by Ao Hui; Prime Minister Gui didn't have it before.

Or perhaps it was created by the Turtle Prime Minister beforehand and then given to Ao Hui.

The last time Qin Hao went to see Ao Hui, he was given this by Ao Hui.

General Crab said, “I know that. There’s an array here that can send treasures in. Then they can be adjusted and categorized inside. But if we want to take them out, we need the consent of Prime Minister Turtle, the Dragon Palace Guard General, and the heads of each palace before we can select a small number from the array. This is set up for trading with visiting cultivators. Otherwise, the Pengze Lake Dragon Palace Treasury is only for taking in, not taking out.”

This really is a collection of Pixiu (mythical creatures).

However, considering the identities of these people, Qin Hao felt it was understandable.

The guards of the Great Xia Imperial Palace had no right to take out treasures belonging to the royal family, or even the emperor's private treasury.

Unless they are authorized.

Qin Hao took out the key, which was made from a tortoise shell. It was also a decent defensive magic weapon. Although it was not a Dao artifact, it was very close to it.

This must be a tortoise shell that the Turtle Prime Minister shed, which he then carefully polished into this piece.

It took tens of thousands of years for the dragon energy on Ao Hui's body to be washed away before it was formed.

"Just one step away from upgrading to a Dao artifact."

In other words, Ao Hui is rather lazy; if only he had put in the effort to refine and polish the product properly.

Such fine materials should be made into Dao artifacts.

But Qin Hao felt that he wouldn't need the tortoise shell.

Wearing it provides extremely strong defense.

It's just too ugly.

"I don't want to be called a turtle."

Qin Hao summoned the tortoise shell, a flash of light appeared, and the gate slowly opened.
