Simulator: Starting as a Green Snake and Transforming into a Dragon

The Flood Dragon Palace is now complete and looks quite impressive. It's clearly the cave of a great king. From the outside, the Flood Dragon Palace is incredibly majestic, exuding a dragon's aura. Even demonic beasts would want to submit and kneel before it.

Upon entering, the concentration of spiritual energy increased several levels. Three days of cultivation here was equivalent to five days of cultivation outside. The enhancement within the cave was even more terrifying. Gu Yuchuan could imagine that his subordinates' cultivation speed would not be slow in the future, and those with better aptitude could even make rapid progress. This was the terrifying aspect of a powerful force.

However, Mingxi is not yet completely unified. There are still two places: the spirit stone mine and the jade mine. These are his precious assets, so how can he let others occupy them? That's definitely not acceptable. If those two little demons were cunning, he might spare their lives, but if they resist, he will kill them directly.

"Pei Yu, come out with me for a bit. Bai Li and Bai Ming, you two should focus on your cultivation."

After they finished speaking, the two walked out. Pei Yu cautiously observed Gu Yuchuan. Although she had only met Gu Yuchuan today, she could tell that he, the king, was not a murderous person and was tolerant of his subordinates. Therefore, she needed to stand out. In terms of personal relationships, she was definitely no match for Bai Li and Bai Ming. So, she had to be useful and able to understand the king's mind.

"Your Majesty, I dare to guess, is Your Majesty going to deal with that bullfrog and crucian carp?"

Gu Yuchuan glanced at her, knowing her little scheme, but he didn't care. It was good for his subordinates to have their own ideas; stagnant water was not conducive to their growth. Competition created room for growth. Of course, the balance had to be right; if competition turned into enmity, that would be bad.

“Of course. How can we let them occupy our resources around the Flood Dragon Palace? Those spirit stone mines and jade mines belong to Mingxi, so they should be mine. What do you know about them? Tell me.”

She thought for a moment and then spoke tactfully: "Actually, our Flood Dragon Palace is short-handed right now, so there's no need to exterminate them all. As far as I know, this bullfrog is very arrogant and probably won't join us. Besides, this demon has a terrible personality and loves to bully people. But the crucian carp is much better. I know him, and he has a good personality and good supernatural powers. He even gave me some jade before. If possible, we could subdue him."

Gu Yuchuan glanced at her but didn't expose his factionalism. Of his three subordinates, Bai Li and Bai Ming were clearly allied, while Pei Yu, who had just joined, was naturally weak and alone. He needed an ally, and this carp was the one she had chosen.

"Let's go check on that bullfrog first. I want to see just how arrogant he can be."

Soon, they arrived at the spirit stone mine. As soon as they arrived, the bullfrog sensed their presence: "You slut, what are you doing here again? Although your cultivation is higher than mine, you can't kill me. Once I break through, I will definitely kill you."

Pei Yu's eyes turned cold, and he shot out a beam of azure divine light, but it was easily blocked by the opponent. This bullfrog looked extremely disgusting, not like a bullfrog at all, but more like a toad. When he saw Gu Yuchuan, he immediately went limp, after all, this Qi Refining Level 9 cultivation was no joke.

"Senior, may I ask what brings you to my cave?"

Gu Yuchuan didn't bother to say anything more to him: "I am the master of Mingxi. From today onwards, all the resources of Mingxi belong to my Jiaolong Palace. You can either leave or die. Choose one."

He's so ugly, and he has a conflict with Pei Yu. Taking him in as a subordinate isn't a good thing; it could easily exacerbate their internal conflicts. It's not worth it for a mere mortal beast.

This bullfrog really isn't very bright; he actually dared to argue back against Gu Yuchuan's words.

Gu Yuchuan really didn't want to argue with him anymore. In his heart, the bullfrog had already been sentenced to death; there was no way it could survive. With a thought, he unleashed a water sword that pierced the bullfrog's heart, and it was beyond dead.

Then, he took out a defensive barrier and set it up in front of the spirit stone mine.

"Pei Yu, I'm giving you a task. From now on, you'll come to this spirit stone mine every other day to check if there are any problems. If there are, unless I'm in seclusion, you must immediately take control of my territory. I don't need to elaborate on how important spirit stones are."

Pei Yu knelt down, his expression excited. This was a great job! As subordinates, they weren't afraid of having work to do, but rather of having no work to do.

"Your Majesty, rest assured, I will handle this matter properly and ensure that he does not encounter any problems."

Gu Yuchuan was extremely satisfied with her attitude. Sure enough, it was much easier to use a smarter demon. No wonder most kings had clam spirits by their side. The clam spirit race was quite intelligent among the aquatic races. Although they couldn't compare to the fox race, they were still very good, which is why everyone liked them.

"Let's go check out the jade mine. Hopefully, that crucian carp will be a bit smarter."

Soon, they arrived at the jade mine. Gu Yuchuan also attached great importance to this place. He was about to start learning the methods of weapon refining, so the importance of the jade mine was even greater than that of the spirit stone mine. There was no room for the slightest mistake.

They had just arrived when the crucian carp appeared. Pei Yu spoke first, afraid that the crucian carp might say something bad to offend Gu Yuchuan and end up dead.

"Fellow Daoist Song Chuan, this is the Green Serpent King, the master of Mingxi. He has now established the Flood Dragon Palace in Mingxi. We have come here today to invite you to join us and become his disciple. Your future will be limitless."

Song Chuan and Pei Yu had a decent relationship, and he knew that Pei Yu wouldn't lie to him. There must be something good about what Pei Yu was saying now, but he couldn't accept being dependent on him all at once.

"If you are willing, you can join; if you are not, you can leave the Qingyu Mine. This is the wealth of Mingxi, and it will not be in the hands of others, but only in the hands of this king."

Did his words carry a hint of murderous intent, making the other person understand that he was speaking to someone who could decide his life or death?

Song Chuan broke out in a cold sweat and immediately bowed down: "Being able to join the Flood Dragon Palace is the greatest blessing of my life. I am naturally willing. Please accept me, Your Majesty."

That's right. A cultivator at the fourth level of Qi Refining, although not a particularly powerful figure, is still usable, and he wouldn't mind using him.

"Alright, then this jade mine will be in your care. You can come every other day to check for any problems and report back to Pei Yu. Let's go home and cultivate properly."
