Li Mu's conscience would be uneasy if he had to provide the talisman liquid after selling it for 10,000 high-grade spiritual jades each.
However, Ao Feng was so determined to not give Li Mu any leeway. He had no choice but to sigh in his heart. The world of rich dragons was not something poor people like them could understand.
The Dragon Clan was willing to pay 10,000 high-grade spiritual jades to extend the lifespan of their clansmen by 10 years. Who knew how many spiritual jades they were willing to pay to extend the lifespan of their clansmen by 60 years? Such a generous customer might not be found in the entire cultivation world.
If he were to activate the Sky Stealing Array for Ao Feng and those extremely talented experts of the Dragon Clan, Li Mu would think carefully and weigh the pros and cons. If the extra 60 years allowed them to advance to the eighth level, wouldn't he be causing trouble for himself?
However, if the target was these old dragons who were still alive, Li Mu wouldn't even hesitate to kill them.
Even if they were given another 60 years, they were destined to not have great achievements. Using a large amount of spiritual jades in exchange for 60 years of lifespan was naturally a waste of the Dragon Clan's resources. However, to an individual, living was more important than anything else.
One of the most painful things in life was that when one died, one's money would still be there. It was the same for dragon life.
There were countless mineral veins under the sea. To the Dragon Clan, spiritual jades were just stones that they could pick up anywhere. Who wouldn't be willing to exchange stones for lifespan?
Li Mu initially thought that Ao Feng was showing concern for the old dragons in the clan in the spirit of humanitarianism.
However, when he left the West Sea, he realized that things weren't as simple as he thought. Ao Feng, this old dragon, wasn't as stupid as Li Mu thought.
In front of the Dragon Palace, Ao Feng looked at the group of old dragons and said, "The clan spent countless resources to buy the Divine Secret Talisman for you to extend your lifespan. I hope that you won't waste these 10 years. Before your lifespan ends, pass down another seed to the clan …"
Li Mu realized that Ao Feng didn't give them the Divine Secret Talisman because he wanted them to break through before they died. Instead, he wanted them to use their remaining energy to give birth to one or two young dragons to ensure the continuation of the clan.
In this matter, Li Mu had to admit that he was too narrow-minded.
After returning to White Cloud Mountain with Ao Feng, Li Mu was faced with a problem.
The powerhouses of the Black Dragon Clan were all left at Mount Baiyun to serve them for the next ten years. How to restrain them was a problem that needed to be solved.
It was impossible for the Black Dragon Clan to hand over their soul blood. The Dragon Clan had their pride and dignity. Not all dragons were as unprincipled as Xin Xin.
Similarly, it was impossible for them to become mounts. The pride of the Dragon Race did not allow them to become mounts for humans. In their deep-rooted view, it was more appropriate for humans to become mounts for the Dragon Race.
Li Mu looked at Ao Feng and said, "If you don't hand over your soul blood, what if you go back on your word and betray us?"
When Ao Feng heard this, it was as if he had been greatly insulted. He said angrily, "You are insulting our Dragon Clan. The Black Dragon Clan will definitely do what we promised you. We said ten years, and it will be ten years. Not a day more, not a day less …"
Li Mu knew the Dragon Clan very well. The Dragon Clan had always been arrogant. Naturally, they would not easily do anything that would affect the reputation of their clan. Moreover, the Dragon Clan would not give up on any of their clansmen. As long as there were Dragon Clan hostages at White Cloud Mountain, they would have to be obedient.
If there was nothing to do, he would let them stay at White Cloud Mountain and wait for orders. If there was anything, he would send them.
After temporarily settling the matter of the Black Dragon Clan, the next thing he had to deal with was the spiritual jades that he had traded with the Black Dragon Clan.
At the main peak of the Fu-lu School, Xuan Jizi, Yuzhen Zi, Fu Daozi, and the two Supreme Elders were gathered by Li Mu. Xuan Jizi asked solemnly, "Junior Brother, you called us here. Is there something important?"
Li Mu did not say anything. With a thought, he brought everyone to the Demon Emperor's cave abode.
To discuss in the Flask Space, Li Mu's matter must be extremely important. Just as Xuan Jizi was about to ask, his eyes suddenly widened. He said in shock, "This …"
It was not only Xuan Jizi. Everyone present, including the three Supreme Elders, widened their eyes and looked at the scene in front of them in disbelief.
The surface of the lake sparkled. Fishes swam in the lake, cranes danced in the air, and birds sang in the peach forest beside the lake.
However, this was not what attracted them. What really attracted them was the mountain of spiritual jades that was casually piled up like a small mountain on the lawn beside the lake.
Xuan Jizi stretched out his hand and a piece of spiritual jade flew into his hand.
The spiritual energy contained in this spiritual jade was extremely rich. It was already high-grade. The exchange rate between different spiritual jades was 100: 1. In other words, he was holding 10,000 low-grade spiritual jades in his hand.
There were hundreds of thousands of high-grade spiritual jades piled up here.
As the leader of a sect, it was also Xuan Jizi's first time seeing so many spiritual jades.
Everyone else's eyes lit up when they saw this scene. If a sect wanted to develop and grow, the most important thing was resources, including resources for its disciples and cultivation.
A large part of the reason why Xuanzong was the number one sect of Daoism was because the Daoism Exchange gathered all the resources of the entire cultivation world, allowing Xuanzong to reap great benefits from it.
With so many high-grade spiritual jades, even if all the disciples in the sect were to absorb them day and night, they would not run out in three to five years. From now on, the disciples of Fu-lu School could even eat spiritual jades like rice.
It would not be long before the strength of Fu-lu School's middle and low-grade disciples would catch up to Xuanzong's.
All they needed was an eighth-level sect-guarding powerhouse. Whether it was in terms of strength or influence, Fu-lu School would replace Xuanzong's position as the number one sect of Daoism.
The spiritual jades obtained from the Black Dragon Clan were given to Xuan Jizi to distribute. Li Mu then turned his attention to the other dragon clans.
Li Mu had yet to come into contact with the dragon clans of the four seas.
Cheng Xin was a White Dragon, but Li Mu had asked her before. Her father was an Azure Dragon and her mother was a White Dragon. She belonged to the Azure Dragon Clan of the South Sea.
Among the dragon clans of the four seas, other than the Black Dragon Clan, who considered themselves to be the highest ranking dragon clan and did not intermarry with other dragon clans, the other three clans often intermarried for better reproduction. The baby dragons born in this way might be of the same color as their father or mother.
Li Mu planned to let Cheng Xin return to the South Sea to discuss the alliance with the dragon clan of the South Sea, while he himself would go to the East Sea personally. Firstly, he wanted to see the sisters Yinxin and Tingxin, whom he had not seen for a long time. Secondly, he could also discuss the alliance with the White Dragon Clan.
The strength and talent of the dragon clan really made Li Mu envious. If he could completely turn a dragon clan into his own, perhaps it would not be long before a force that could contend with the ancestors of the demonic path would appear on his side.
Li Mu first transmitted his voice to Cheng Xin. Unexpectedly, after Cheng Xin heard it, she did not hesitate at all and flatly rejected Li Mu. "No, no, I escaped. If I go back, they will definitely force me to marry again. I won't go back, even if I die. There is food and drink here, why should I go back?"
It was hard to imagine that a dragon's dream was to have food and drink.
But since she was unwilling, Li Mu did not force her.
For the dragon clan, the first priority was to reproduce and maintain the continuation of the clan. It was no wonder that Cheng Xin was forced to marry. The earlier she married, the more time she had left to give birth to young dragons. It was extremely difficult for the dragon clan to reproduce. If every dragon clan married late and had children late, perhaps they would have gone extinct with the ancient beasts.
It was no wonder that the relationship between the White Demon King and the sisters' mother was opposed by the White Dragon Clan. It was not easy for the dragon clan to reproduce. In the end, their own daughter ran away with a snake. Which parent would not be angry?
As such, Li Mu first went to the East Sea and then returned with Cheng Xin to visit the dragon clan of the South Sea.
Li Mu did not know the location of the East Sea Dragon Palace. In the beginning, Tingxin often used the spirit snail to contact him. Later, the sisters were forced by their elders to cultivate in seclusion. Li Mu had not heard from them for a long time.
The sea was vast and Li Mu did not know the location of the East Sea Dragon Palace. However, the dragon clans of the four seas were in contact with each other. Li Mu asked Ao Feng to accompany him to the depths of the East Sea.
After not seeing them for a long time, Li Mu also missed the pair of clingy sisters.
