"There's also Madam Di's people. They took the initiative to let us manage a few gemstone mines. Their annual output is …" Hu Bailing held a long list in her hands as she read out the details to Zhu Minglang.
"You and your sister can decide on these matters. You don't have to report everything to me. I believe that you can manage the city well and use the resources where they should be used," Zhu Minglang said.
"Yes, City Lord. Oh right, there are three thousand-year-old lingzhi mushrooms in Lingzhi Valley. They originally wanted to sell them for start-up funds, but I bought them all. First Madam's body is weak and her complexion is always poor. She should nourish herself more, "Hu Bailing said.
"That's not a bad idea." Zhu Minglang nodded, although he felt that it was strange to call her First Madam.
Now, Zhu Minglang already had four pieces of the Ancient Divine Lantern Jade.
However, two of the Ancient Divine Lantern Jade were lacking in energy and needed to absorb some of the world's spirit energy to nourish the soul.
But that was only a matter of time. The Ancient Divine Lantern Jade was special because it could absorb the world's spirit energy on its own to replenish the wearer's soul.
With four pieces of the Ancient Divine Lantern Jade, they could be considered to have formed a complete Ancient Divine Lantern Jade. As long as Li Xinghua wore it every day, Li Yunzi's life would not be in danger. The damage to her soul would slowly heal and even become stronger than before.
In the future, Li Yunzi's waking time would gradually increase. It wasn't impossible for her to count the stars on the roof for an entire night. Time was meant to be enjoyed …
… …
Zhu Minglang was very pleased with the prosperity of his faction.
However, there was a problem that made Zhu Minglang slightly worried.
That was the Heaven Fiend Dragon.
The Heaven Fiend Dragon was indeed a traitor. After it successfully ascended and passed the tribulation, it had been lying in Spirit Realm, maintaining a state of deep sleep after being reborn.
But every time it woke up, Zhu Minglang could feel a wave of restlessness in his Spirit Realm!
The will of a king-level dragon was extremely powerful and terrifying. Zhu Minglang found that his Ling Yue was actually unable to completely suppress it!
Zhu Minglang was worried about this and hurriedly woke up Mr. Koi to ask for advice.
"What did you say? The Tiansha Dragon signed a Spirit Contract with you?" Mr. Koi exclaimed.
"Yes." Zhu Minglang smiled bitterly. Mr. Koi had lost his memory again.
"I said I want a Purple Dragon. I want a Purple Dragon. Why did you get me a Five-Colored Black Dragon? The Innate Demon Dragon is not on the list of dragons I ordered for you. Besides, the Heaven Fiend Dragon is a dragon king, and you are only a Dragon Herder who is at most an upper-level Martial Monarch. How are you going to restrain a dragon king? Let it go before it wakes up! "Mr. Koi glared at him.
"I've already signed it. Besides, I played a part in it becoming the Dragon King," Zhu Minglang said.
"Are you talking about gratitude with a dragon with a traitorous bloodline? Its greatest gratitude to you is to remind you to eat less garlic," Mr. Koi said.
"Why would it remind me to eat less garlic?" Zhu Minglang was confused.
"Zombie dragons don't like the smell of garlic. When it chews on your flesh, it'll spit you out and stomp you to death in anger!" Mr. Koi said unhappily.
Zhu Minglang felt a chill run down his spine after hearing Mr. Koi's words.
"A Spirit Contract does have a suppressive effect on dragons, but that doesn't mean it can surpass this level. This is especially true for king-level creatures, which far surpasses all other dragons in the world. The Tiansha Dragon isn't an idiot. If it didn't have enough confidence to betray you, why would it sign a Spirit Contract with you?" Mr. Koi continued.
"I understand. Then, Mr. Koi, do you have any ideas on how to suppress this dragon king and make it listen to me?" Zhu Minglang asked.
Zhu Minglang was indeed a dragon master who had a dragon king.
However, this dragon king didn't seem to listen to him …
This was quite awkward. It wasn't quite what he'd expected, especially if the people from the Tea-Colored Lands heard about this. As a king-level Venerable, he would lose all face!
"Is it only disobedient?" Mr. Koi asked.
"Yes. It's much younger than I expected. Although it has some resentment and hostility, it doesn't have any intention of killing its master yet," Zhu Minglang said.
"A Spirit Contract is very sturdy in its early stages. For example, the Spirit Contract between you and the Tiansha Dragon can be compared to a chain. This chain won't rust, wear, or break in the beginning. However, as time passes, this Spirit Pact Chain will grow weaker and weaker as the Innate Fiend Dragon becomes dissatisfied with you, despising you, and resisting your commands. In the end, the Innate Fiend Dragon will be able to break free … "Mister Koi said seriously.
"Then what should I do?" Zhu Minglang was worried.
"You have to improve your strength, of course. If your strength is recognized by it, or if other dragons are strong enough to intimidate it, it won't betray you. A dragon pet betraying its master is very scary. Not only will a broken Spirit Contract become invalid and you won't be able to sign a new pet, it will also cause great damage to your soul. It'll be very difficult for you to make a new Spirit Contract by improving your cultivation, "Mr. Koi said.
When the Tiansha Dragon was still a Tiansha Dragon, Zhu Minglang's Awakened Sword state could intimidate it. However, now that it had ascended and become a dragon king, Zhu Minglang's strength had fallen far behind it.
The main reason was that the Tiansha Dragon had a rebellious blood in its bones.
In this aspect, Zhu Minglang had actually considered it before. But at that time, Zhu Minglang still wanted to take a gamble. After all, this was a rare Dragon King in this world. It would be a pity if he were to be reduced to ashes.
"Its body was heavily injured during its tribulation. It's basically recuperating in my Spirit Realm," Zhu Minglang said.
"It'll probably take a year or two. If it's not afraid of its cultivation foundation becoming unstable, it won't betray you for a year or two," Mr. Koi said.
"Then there's still time."
"Improving your relationship is also a very effective method. With Ling Yue around, many of your emotions are connected. If you nurture it well, it won't betray you even if you're a mortal," Mr. Koi said.
Zhu Minglang nodded.
When little Bai Qi was with him, even Ling Yue didn't exist.
The relationship between a dragon master and a dragon was indeed very important.
Tu Wenhe probably didn't consider this properly, which led to the Female Necromancer's betrayal.
"It's just that hard work isn't enough to reach the King Realm. I'm worried that you won't be able to reach the King Realm in a year or two. Even the talented Bai Qi can only reach rank ten at most. It's very difficult to find an opportunity to help it break through to the King Realm in this resource-poor continent. "Mr. Koi shook his head and sighed.
"There's always a way. Speaking of which, Little Bai Qi has been sleeping again these days. I can't wake it up no matter how hard I try, "Zhu Minglang said.
"It's a good thing that it's sleeping."
"Strange …"
Zhu Minglang planned to go to Ling Yue to check on Bai Qi's condition. After all, it was injured too.
But soon, Zhu Minglang saw a very special scene on little Bai Qi's body!
And this scene was very familiar!
