Chapter 1460: Chapter 1460: Can Charge
Previously, Lan Xuanyu had a profound analysis in his heart after the conversation with Zhong Zhichang and Luo Lan. From Luo Lan’s narration, he understood that within the Dragon Clan, those more inclined to support him were the relatively younger Dragon Knights, who had more time to wait. As long as he continued to demonstrate enough talent, their support would not change. Then there were those of a somewhat awkward age, for example, those with a few hundred years of lifespan left. The Sky Dragon Leader, after all, was already a Super God-level powerhouse and had been striving in that direction, while he himself had just become a God. Of course, it was only after becoming a God that he qualified to attract the Dragon Knights’ attention. So, currently, a part of them are wavering, while some support the Sky Dragon Leader. Within ten years, as long as he could attain the Super God level and truly become a Dragon Knight, quite a few among them would choose to support him.
The specific attitude of the Sky Dragon Leader now was unknown to him; he was the only one Lan Xuanyu couldn’t see through.
Before him, an old dragon like Hou Dingzhong was undoubtedly a top strong existence within the Dragon Clan, but their lifespans would be shorter, possibly only a hundred years or even decades. They were the ones who couldn’t afford to wait. They didn’t care who to support; whoever was more likely to succeed, they would support. It could be seen from Hou Dingzhong’s recent behavior that he was very satisfied with him. Moreover, he should have benefited from Lan Xuanyu’s Divine Dragon Illumination Field. For these old dragons, enhancing their cultivation might not be considered a benefit, making the benefits particularly obvious.
After analyzing in his mind, Lan Xuanyu was no longer afraid that these old dragons wouldn’t take the bait. If being able to extend their lives with his help, even if he later became opposed to the Sky Dragon Leader, they would at least remain neutral or possibly even support him.
Bai Xiuxiu’s tribulation was gradually coming to an end. Though the light around her dimmed somewhat, the brilliance in her eyes remained strong. As the thunderclouds gradually weakened and dispersed, the last bolt of thunder descended on Bai Xiuxiu, making her body tremble, but she managed to withstand it. The electric arcs around her body slowly transformed into sky-blue color and were absorbed into her Divine Dragon Armor. Only then did she gradually descend from the sky.
Lan Xuanyu quickly rose up, a seven-colored halo enveloping Bai Xiuxiu, assisting her in restoring her Bloodline Energy by using his own Dragon God Energy.
Bai Xiuxiu excitement was evident in her eyes as she nodded towards him, "I did it. It’s great."
"Hmm." Lan Xuanyu couldn’t help but smile as well. Today’s gains were far greater than expected, even though he had spent all his Sky Dragon Crystal Coins, it was absolutely worth it! These were two Artifacts. As Hou Dingzhong said, there was only one Undead Dragon skeleton, and the gray bones he had taken out before were almost depleted. To make another Artifact-level Divine Dragon Armor would be difficult indeed. Not to mention the one Lan Xuanyu had; it was absolutely unique, even irreplicable.
Seeing the two descend from the sky, Hou Dingzhong waved his big hand, silver light sweeping, and the three figures disappeared again, returning to the warehouse.
"Thank you, senior, for fulfilling this." Returning to the warehouse, Lan Xuanyu pulled Bai Xiuxiu, and the two bowed once again to Hou Dingzhong.
"Alright, at our age, etiquette doesn’t matter as much. To be honest, today I’ve indeed suffered a big loss!" Hou Dingzhong couldn’t help laughing, showing a pained expression, but his mood was much more relaxed compared to when they first arrived.
Lan Xuanyu laughed, "Isn’t it true? It even made my heart ache. You used all your good stuff on us. But watching you craft the Divine Dragon Armor today really left us in awe! Truly worthy of being the Dragon Clan’s number one master."
Nobody dislikes flattery, especially for someone like Lan Xuanyu with such a bloodline. The concept of bloodline supremacy has always been carried forward in the Dragon Clan. His words also made Hou Dingzhong feel quite pleased.
The old dragon rolled his eyes, devising a plan, "Speaking of which, although I lost quite a bit this time, it wasn’t without gains. After you return, you can visit Zhong Zhichang. He was the one who invited me out to specifically craft the Divine Dragon Armor for you. Otherwise, I would still be in seclusion. To have me make it for you, he gave me quite a lot of Tianyang Crystals. At my age among the Dragon Clan, I’m already one of the oldest few, with not many years left to live. This time coming out was partly to check if you have the potential to be supported, and partly to use some remaining heat. When he mentioned your attributes, I was also intrigued, wanting to see if I could craft a Divine Dragon Armor with seven attributes. Unexpectedly, not only was it successful, but the effect was better than I imagined. Moreover, your talent not only satisfied me, it even exceeded my expectations. From this point of view, Zhong Zhichang’s vision is quite excellent."
Listening to Hou Dingzhong’s unreserved praise, Lan Xuanyu couldn’t help but feel a little surprised. Wasn’t he afraid that Lan Xuanyu would notice the considerable benefits he received, thus causing him to take advantage?
Hou Dingzhong continued, "Moreover, today’s experience was rather magical for me. If it had been earlier, the benefits would have been greater. I won’t hide this from you. Lan’s domain has a stimulating effect on our Dragon Clan bloodline, providing substantial amplification, beneficial during both battle and cultivation. The one benefiting most directly is Xiuxiu. Without Lan, Xiuxiu, you wouldn’t have been able to evolve your bloodline to this extent. Frankly speaking, I even feel a bit envious of you. It’s a shame I never encountered a partner like Lan back in my day! But even so, I’ve gained quite a bit of benefit. My bloodline has been stagnant for who knows how many years, yet stimulated by your domain, it underwent a metamorphosis. Although this metamorphosis won’t let me advance, as my bodily aging doesn’t allow me to be capricious, it should let me live a few more decades. This is why I’m waiving your remaining debt."
Hearing this old dragon speak so candidly, Lan Xuanyu couldn’t help but feel a bit disappointed. The guy was giving him such a clear benefit in lieu of debt cancellation as compensation for this benefit!
However, Hou Dingzhong suddenly laughed, "Such benefits, I certainly can’t monopolize. This would be profoundly helpful for our entire Dragon Clan. But it’s not fitting to gain such benefits without cost. This wouldn’t be fair to you. So, Lan, I have a suggestion for you. You can use your domain to assist our members in cultivation, but you can charge a fee."
"Ah?" Hearing the old dragon’s words, even though Lan Xuanyu had been calculating earlier, he couldn’t help but be taken aback. This one was too straightforward and simple.
"Isn’t this not good, senior? We’re of the same clan. How could I..." Lan Xuanyu couldn’t help but say.
Beside him, Bai Xiuxiu could only roll her eyes in her heart. How couldn’t you? You’re overjoyed, aren’t you? Life’s a play, and it’s begun again. She knew Lan Xuanyu best, and by now, this guy was undoubtedly gleeful inside.
Hou Dingzhong smiled, "There’s no such thing as can’t. Only by giving can you gain. Nobody should obtain benefits from others for free. Your ability to assist in cultivation is quite apparent and benefits any level of the Dragon Clan, but it also consumes your own bloodline. Isn’t this consumption a burden for you? Doesn’t it waste your Dragon Power? So, an appropriate fee is naturally deserved."
