Western sea.
I don’t know how many depths under the sea there is, a majestic and majestic hall made of white jade is located here, surrounded by spiritual tides and undulating waves.
Even though it is located in the abyss of the ocean, the sea area thousands of miles around the hall is still bright, and countless night pearls bloom with misty clear light, illuminating the underwater world here.
Looking at the main hall, it is even more luxurious. Coral reefs, spiritual jade and earthly milk, and countless rare and incomparable spiritual materials are used as decorative ornaments and piled up throughout the palace.
As for the sharks and clam girls walking through the palace, they were all dressed in gorgeous water weaves. They were all stunning in the world!
Just the water weave on these maids' bodies can be turned into a perfect magic weapon on the ground, worth thousands of talismans.
This is the West Sea Dragon Palace!
Li Chen, or Ao Chen, can also put on an incredibly expensive and gorgeous robe at this moment, sit in the magnificent hall, and exchange cups with many of his brothers and sisters.
"Third brother, don't you hate the extravagance in the palace the most, why are you back here when you have time?" said a handsome little dragon man with a bit of unruly eyes.
Ao Chen glanced at him lightly and said coldly: "I don't hate everything in the palace, I just hate idiots like you."
"You..." The little dragon man's face turned red with anger and he stood up, about to get angry.
The old Dragon King sitting at the top frowned slightly, and an aura of calmness and authority came to his face.
"Xiao Shiliu, this is your third brother. How dare you disrespect him and why don't you quickly apologize to your third brother?"
Facing the majestic old Dragon King, Shiliu The prince could only reluctantly bow his head and apologize.
The old Dragon King then turned to look at Ao Chen and asked kindly: "Chen'er, it's not easy to come back this time. You have to stay longer this time."
< br>
Among the Dragon Kings of the Four Seas, only the Dragon King of the West Sea inherited the throne of the Righteous God tens of thousands of years ago. Compared with the other old Dragon Kings who are not known to have lived for hundreds of thousands of years, he is still young.
So his descendants are relatively young and naturally weak in strength, not even a True Dragon.
Among them, the one with the most outstanding talent is Ao Chen, the third prince of Long Dynasty. Not only did he master the innate magical power of the True Dragon clan when he was in Jindan, soaring into the clouds and riding in the mist, he also mastered the Taoist scriptures when he was a fellow student. , realized the mastery of the five thunders.
These two magical powers are the Ancestral Dragon's best magical powers, and they are of great significance to the Dragon Clan.
Ao Chen was therefore regarded by the old Dragon King as the inevitable successor of the West Sea Dragon Palace in the future.
It was precisely because Ao Chen's qualifications were so outstanding that the Old Dragon King made an exception and allowed him to be independent, learn human culture, Taoism, and even allow him to travel to the human world for a long time.
Such special treatment naturally made the other Dragon Princes very dissatisfied, but similarly, Ao Chen also looked down upon his brothers who only knew how to hold feasts every day, were extravagant, and their cultivation relied solely on their blood.
After Ao Chen drank all the wine in the glass, he slowly said: "Does the father know that Duobao Pavilion held a large-scale trading ceremony at the border of the West Sea?"
< br>The old Dragon King nodded and said: "My father also heard about this. It seems to be quite large, even no less than the previous Jiazi Dharma Assembly. Xiaoliu and the others seemed to have attended it before."
As he said that, the old Dragon King turned to look at the Dragon Prince, who had his head lowered and his face full of resentment. "Why don't you tell your third brother what the ceremony was all about? I heard that you spent a huge amount of money again. I bought some flashy things with my money, which is really a shame.”
"Then the Dharma Conference is not far from here, why don't you go and see it yourself?" Ao Chan muttered in a low voice.
Before he finished the rest of his words, he was forced back by the threatening eyes of the old Dragon King.
At this time, the next girl, who was beautiful and fragrant, with a bit of innocence in her expression, raised her hand and said: "I'm going too, let me talk to the third brother."
The person who spoke was the thirty-sixth princess Ao Ying, who was also the most favored princess in the West Sea Dragon Palace.
Even Ao Chen's face showed a look of doting, and he even said in a gentle voice: "Then Lao Xiaoying will tell the third brother."
The girl's bright eyes rolled, looking very playful, and she thought: "Well, this puja seems to be a little different from the Jiazi puja. Duobao Pavilion has built many gorgeous palaces there."
"From what their waiters said, it seems that this Dharma Fair will always exist, instead of being open once every Jiazi Puja like the Jiazi Puja. It will take a long time to buy some rare treasures from the human race."
"Are there any other differences?" Ao Chen asked, "I heard that barter will no longer be accepted in this ceremony, and even spirit shells and spirit beads cannot be used. Doesn't it have any impact on us? ?”
“Influence?” Ao Ying guessed what Ao Yuan meant and replied carefully, “It doesn’t seem to have any impact, it’s just that the Lingbei Lingzhu needs to be replaced with the Three Mountains Signal Talisman, which is more convenient than before. "
Prince Ao Zhai of Long Sixteen heard the implication of Ao Yuan's words and snorted coldly and replied: "Your third brother is worried about those human races, using this method. We are in trouble. "
"Let me tell you, not only no, on the contrary, Duobao Pavilion is also very fair. If the number of Three Mountains Talisman redeemed at one time is too large, they will give you a discount. Not only did we not suffer a loss, the cost was even less than before. "
"This ritual is a good thing for our dragon clan. Not only are those luxury toys, Duobao Pavilion even has many cherished spiritual elixirs on sale, which can be exchanged for just a few spirit shells. The elixirs refined in Tushita Palace and Sanxian Island are very profitable.”
“If this could have happened earlier, why would we go to the inland to search for those alchemists and raise them in captivity? They haven't refined any decent elixirs now."
Looking at the proud young man, Ao Chen frowned and said: "You idiot, you are speaking for Duobao Pavilion like this, don't tell me that you are here. There must be someone involved in this ceremony."
Hearing this unabashed sarcasm, Ao Zhai felt an unknown evil fire rushing straight to his forehead, and said unbearably: "So what? , you have looked down on me since I was a child. No matter what I do, you will only belittle me. I am used to this, but what did I do wrong about the Dharma Conference? "
"Isn't this a matter of benefiting our Dragon Palace? Oh, it's possible that only Third Brother, your suggestion is correct? But after listening to your suggestion, the Dragon Palace is planning to build the Alchemy Hall. The Qi Hall has been in existence for thousands of years. Have you ever seen it? With a little improvement, I can produce half a usable elixir, which can be used as a weapon?"
The old dragon king of Xihai first scolded Ao Zhai with a cold eyebrow and said: "I asked you to say, why are you losing your temper here? If you dare to talk to your third brother like this, I will punish you by guarding Haiyuan Cave for a hundred years." Then he turned to Ji Chen and said, "If this is what you are talking about, I have something to say. I heard that Xiao Liu brought back tens of thousands of pills this time, which is enough for the people in the Dragon Palace to practice for three months. Is there any problem in this? "
"Could it be those guys from the human race who dare? Are you going to poison the elixir to death?"
Because it was the old Dragon King who asked, Ao Yuan had no choice but to explain: "The elixir provided by Dao Sect must be of good quality, even its quality. Even higher than any previous batch of elixirs.”
The Dragon King of the West Sea frowned and said, "It seems to be true. It is a top-grade elixir in terms of appearance and effectiveness." Although most of the practice of the Dragon Clan relies on discovering bloodlines and absorbing the essence of the sun and the moon.
But after tasting the elixirs of the human race, the dragon tribe discovered that their previous practice method of just lying down and basking in the sun every day was simply too backward and inefficient. .
Only taking drugs, and taking drugs non-stop is the most suitable practice for dragon babies.
Because the dragons are born with strong bloodlines, the impact of taking elixirs on them is far less than the impact on the human race. They can metabolize some erysipelas with their strong bodies.
Moreover, the Dragon Clan’s practice method combines the immortal and divine paths, and the requirements for one’s character are far lower than those of the Human Clan. Resource flow is the most suitable practice method for the Dragon Clan.
It’s just that the Alchemy Way was created by the Supreme Being and spread among humans. It is the ultimate use of heaven and earth spiritual creatures by acquired races. This way is inconsistent with the temperament of demigod races such as the Dragon Clan, which rely on talent.
So all this time, the Dragon Clan has not been able to produce a master of alchemy. Most of the spiritual elixirs needed for the Dragon Clan’s practice are purchased from the human race.
The nobles of the Dragon Clan spend an astronomical amount of money on elixirs every year. Whether it is the previous Yunmeng Pavilion or the current Duobao Pavilion, the Dragon Clan is one of their largest customers.
Ao Chen considered his words for a moment before saying: "It is naturally a good thing to be able to buy more elixirs. It's just that the Taoist sect holds such a ceremony. How could it be just to bring benefits to my dragon clan?"< br>
"How many letter talismans have you exchanged this time?"
Ao Zhai said dissatisfied: "It's only 30 million."
Thirty million Sanshan letter talismans are only three Thousands of Sanshan True Talismans are indeed not much for the wealthy Dragon Clan.
"What about them?" Ao Chen asked.
Ao Zhai replied impatiently: "They exchange less, just a few million pieces. No matter what you buy now, the Sanshan Letter Talisman is very easy to use. It is always good to have some on hand. .”
"Not only do we trade more in the West Sea, East Sea, and Beihai, but with the Three Mountains Talisman, the previous problems of different quality of spirit beads and spirit shells, making it difficult to price them together, have also been solved. What's wrong with this? "
"So, the Three Mountains Letter Talisman has now become the recognized currency of the Wulong Clan, right?" Ao Chen frowned.
“It’s much more convenient than before.” Ao Zhai muttered.
Ao Chen was angry and said: "Idiot, do you still see the problem clearly? Lingzhu, Lingbei, and Five Elements Sand are all genuine cultivation resources, one is one."< br>
“But the Three Mountains Signal Talisman is a popular currency, and the price is determined by the Taoist sect. If you develop a dependence on the Three Mountains Signaling Talisman, what will the Taoist sect do in exchange for the Lingzhu Lingbei? Using this method, the Taoist sect can take away the wealth accumulated by the Wulong clan for hundreds of millions of years without any means."
Ao Chen didn't talk about any more merchant methods, because he knew that Ao Chen, a fool, couldn't understand it either.
"I don't understand. Didn't we also get pills in exchange? What's wrong with that?" Ao Zhai argued, holding his neck.
“You don’t need to understand, you just need to know that once the Three Mountains Talisman circulates in the world, our dragon clan will become vassals of the Taoist sect and colonize, and all the wealth in the world will be plundered by the Taoist sect.”< br>
Although there is no such thing as financial colonization in the Earthly Immortal World, the Old Dragon King of the West Sea quickly figured out the link.
He thought and said: "But the wealth in the world is endless. As long as we control the circulation of the Three Mountains Letter Talisman and let the children of the Hai Clan return to business as usual, only we, the Dragon Clan, can exchange resources with Duobao Pavilion. The pill should be fine. "
Ao Chen smiled bitterly and said: "We, the Dragon Clan, are not involved in production, we are just collecting spiritual objects from the heaven and earth. We cannot compete with the Taoist sect in terms of trading. Moreover, once the Three Mountains Amulet is circulated, how can we prohibit it? Although I don’t know what other methods the Taoist sect has, but I probably know who the person who made this plan is, he..."
As he said that, Ao Chen thought about all the things at the Sanxian Island banquet, and couldn't help but feel sad. A shudder, in order to implement this plan, the Taoist sect has taken the lead in attacking itself, sacrificing the life of a great monk with four declining souls. It is simply a wishful thinking to try to compete just by thinking about it.
"Who is that person?" asked the old Dragon King.
Ao Chen took a deep breath and said word by word: "The sect master of Sanxian Island, Tang Yuan."
Hearing this name, all the real dragons present gasped. A breath of cool air.
If we were to say which human race has the greatest reputation in the Four Seas Dragon Palace today.
There is no doubt that Tang Yuan can firmly occupy the first position, of course it is full of bad reputation!
For thousands of years, he is the only evil man who has openly and honestly plundered nine true dragons and used them as his mounts.
Even if the rest of the souls have dragon mounts or slaves, most of them are mixed-blood dragons, and most of them use the admiration of the dragons as an excuse, so they can live up to their reputation.
Only the nine real dragons belonging to Tang Yuan were snatched away by him. The Dragon King of the East China Sea attacked them in anger, but was frightened by the golden dragon and did not dare to leave the Dragon Palace.
The Dragon Clan can only bear with such a shame and humiliation. The name Tang Yuan is a taboo in the Dragon Clan.
When Ao Ying heard this name, her delicate body trembled, her little face turned pale, and she said tremblingly: "I heard that sister Ao Li was treated like a dragon in Sanxian Island. , Not only do you have to pull the cart for the devil, but you also have to turn into a human form and bear..."
Ao Chen frowned and said: "Don't criticize Yuanshen Immortal Seat, I went to Sanxian Island this time. , and also met Sister Ao Li. She was doing well there. Sect Leader Tang would only use them when he was officially traveling. There was no limit to his freedom of practice on weekdays."
"Then. Aren't they just pulling carts and serving as servants? It's really a shame for our dragon clan. Since they can act freely, they should decisively commit suicide and preserve the dignity of our dragon clan." Ao Zhai said angrily.
“You can go to Sanxian Island and tell them in person. Dragons like us are not prohibited from going there.”
Seeing that Ao Zhai lowered his head and stopped talking, Ao Chen continued: "If the Taoist strategy is really successful, it would not be surprising that all of us dragons would become slaves of the Taoist clan."
"Chen'er, you have the best idea. If this matter is really so serious, what should we do?" the Old Dragon King of the West Sea asked in a deep voice.
Ao Chen solemnly replied: "This matter not only needs to be discussed by our four sea dragon palaces, but also the sharks need to be notified. This matter is related to the future survival of our sea clan and must not be treated simply."
“Furthermore, I also need to see how much impact the Three Mountains Letter Talisman has had on the world.”
