Chapter 1461: Chapter 1461: Dragon Broker
Lan Xuanyu lowered his head and said, “But, I don’t know what to do!” Since Hou Dingzhong had already started this topic, he had to listen carefully to the old dragon’s opinion. Undoubtedly, this person must have a deeper understanding of the Dragon Clan than he did.
Hou Dingzhong said, “It is divided into three, six, and nine levels. Moreover, you need supporters to carry this out. I more or less know your situation. You are a Wild Dragon Clan and signed a millennial contract with the Imperial family, so you were able to receive support from Fenglong City. One million Sky Dragon Crystal Coins is indeed quite a sum. But that Imperial family is actually still quite lacking in capabilities. As the ruler of one city, they can only offer one million Sky Dragon Crystal Coins, it’s truly laughable. However, they have no choice. Fenglong City itself doesn’t have a Dragon Knight belonging solely to their family. They have to rely on external support and have Luo Lan protect them, for which they pay dearly. With a low status, they have excessive contributions to make when paying shares to the Sky Dragon Assembly. Lacking family foundations, they naturally don’t have much savings either. Therefore, if you want to truly grow, you’ll still have to rely on your own strength. Your greatest asset right now is your bloodline attribute. Use it well; it’s enough to earn you more resources.”
“I can vouch for you in the name of the Sky Dragon General Chamber of Commerce. And allow you to complete auxiliary cultivation matters here at the General Chamber of Commerce. Then charge fees; the fees vary depending on the level. Lower-rank Dragon Clan though, don’t bother; their talent is not worth your time. Mid-rank Dragon Clan and above can be considered; the higher the level, the higher the fees.”
Bai Xiuxiu was quite curious after hearing this, and couldn’t help but ask, “Senior, why is the fee higher for the higher levels?”
The old dragon smiled slightly and said, “Think about it, what level of kinsmen does Lan’s bloodline benefit in cultivation the most?”
Bai Xiuxiu replied, “That should be the lower-level ones benefiting the most, right? Before my sister’s bloodline was fully evolved, she once helped a Lower-rank Dragon Clan member advance to Mid-rank Dragon Clan.”
Upon hearing this, Hou Dingzhong twitched slightly at the corner of his mouth and said, “You’re right. Indeed, if the level is low, the bloodline has a greater impact and the benefits are greatest. But which level of the Dragon Clan is more important? Let me tell you, the higher the level, the more important it is. The reason is simple: our truly top-level kinsmen, such as Dragon Knights, have already developed their bloodlines to the extreme. Wanting to advance even a little bit further becomes extremely difficult. In other words, every kinsman’s cultivation has a limit, and this limit is determined by our bloodline. Once it reaches the limit, it’s impossible to progress further. And Lan’s ability is to help our bloodline evolve again after reaching the limit—though the effects are not as obvious as the direct advancement found in lower-rank Dragon Clan, the importance of this impact is much greater. Simply put, she helps Dragon Knights in cultivation; while it might not make Dragon Knights evolve further into Ultra Divine levels, it allows Dragon Knights to continue enhancing their cultivation, which is quite a significant benefit. As for us old dragons who are already at the extreme and whose lifespans are nearing their limits, it might even extend our lives—is this important? Should we charge? Should we charge a little more?”
Lan Xuanyu had already looked up at this point, suddenly feeling that the person before him truly deserved the title of president of the Sky Dragon General Chamber of Commerce! This business acumen was more thorough than he had imagined. However, he couldn’t do this directly, being a part of the Sky Dragon Assembly. Could he ignore a Dragon Knight’s request for help in cultivation?
But this person proposing it is different; he is the president of the Sky Dragon General Chamber of Commerce and likely possesses the capability to make even the Sky Dragon Leader yield a bit.
“Well, I’ll defer to you. You say what to do, and I’ll do it,” Lan Xuanyu said sincerely and confusedly, fully displaying a sense of weakness, helplessness, and a request for assistance.
Hou Dingzhong saw that “she” had listened to his words and nodded with satisfaction, saying, “Alright, you don’t need to worry about this matter, I’ll handle it. Start from the top. Ensure you have adequate resources when participating in the auction. Hehehehe. These old guys, we must make them bleed. Each one is stingy; let’s see how stingy they are this time. Alright, you both go back first. Just wait for my news. This matter concerns the General Chamber of Commerce. If later a Dragon Knight asks you, or requests your assistance in cultivation, you should say this matter is not allowed by me. They certainly won’t dare do anything to you.”
“Alright, I’ll follow your instructions,” Lan Xuanyu said respectfully. As for how the profits were divided, he didn’t even ask. He firmly believed that the president in front of him, with a black heart, wouldn’t earn any less. Moreover, this clearly was a gesture of goodwill towards him, certainly wouldn’t short-change him. After all, giving him sufficient benefits to cultivate faster would make it possible to build the Divine Realm.
As Lan Xuanyu and Bai Xiuxiu walked out of the Sky Dragon General Chamber of Commerce, he couldn’t help but murmur, “Perfect…”
The process this time was truly perfect!
“Cunning. That old dragon isn’t such a good…” Bai Xiuxiu murmured too.
Lan Xuanyu hurried to nudge her, signaling her not to continue. The old dragon’s divine consciousness, he’s unsure if he could actually sense it. Probably holds more power than the Second Seat! Speaking boldly is only backed by adequate foundations to do so.
“What are you planning to get at the auction?” Bai Xiuxiu asked curiously.
They now have the Artifact-level Divine Dragon Armor, with Lan Xuanyu’s Golden Dragon Spear and her Ice Demon Dragon Spear being decent too; even if changing weapons doesn’t matter much. Plus, with the Forbidden Weapon and Emerald Demon Warship, they’re armed to the teeth.
Lan Xuanyu replied, “Remember I mentioned to you, the Sky Dragon Assembly gave me the power to mobilize the Blue Sea Tribe’s army.”
“Yeah, I remember! It’s a burden to us, after all. Given the warship here, even if it’s a battleship, probably won’t be of much use.”
Lan Xuanyu smiled slightly and said, “A burden is a burden, but the overall strength is still acceptable. After all, there are True God Level powerhouses here. I’m participating in the auction to arm our army. After all, within our own army, there’s a squad called Thirty-Three Skywing.”
Bai Xiuxiu widened her eyes, staring at him, “You plan to bring the companions into this army? This…”
Lan Xuanyu smiled slightly and said, “Rest assured. Actually, the Blue Sea Tribe was offered to me by Luo Lan’s subtle hint. To them, this certainly doesn’t count as a major issue. Mainly because the Blue Sea Tribe resembles humans the most, and our companions can be best disguised. With my aunt’s make-up technique plus my Treasure Hunting Beast’s illusion ability, the likelihood of being discovered is very small. Also, within the Blue Sea Tribe, although there are True God Level powerhouses, with my Bloodline ability plus Artifacts and various weapons, head-on confrontation shouldn’t be an issue. So, if discovered, we can eliminate them.”
“Ever since arriving at Sky Dragon Planet, everyone has been diligently cultivating, with considerable improvements. But compared to when we cultivated at school, the honing process is lacking. True war is the best way to train everyone and the true chance to complete the metamorphosis process. If we really want the entire Thirty-Three Skywing to advance to God Rank levels, such honing is essential. We certainly won’t be facing the strongest of the Deep Red Realm on the main battlefield, but as long as we ensure safety, this is the real opportunity. Auntie has always been supportive of us, this time letting her participate also counts as a reward for her. The safety is still quite high, yielding multiple advantages. The plant-class giant souls should be about ready to return too. When they left, I reminded them to bring the already God-level plant-class soul beast. The Dragon Horse Federation’s primary focus is on confronting the Deep Red Realm now, not having much time to scrutinize internally. God-level plant-class soul beast cultivating on Sky Dragon Planet will be even more beneficial. When we engage in war, we can also bring some into destiny as trump cards through the Ring of Destiny. Our overall strength certainly can’t match those strong military corps, but picking up the scraps post-battle shouldn’t be much of a problem. And equipping ourselves through the auction while prioritizing arming our own men, simultaneously giving the Blue Sea Tribe benefits, naturally leading them to endorse my command even more.”
Bai Xiuxiu looked at him with a peculiar expression, after a long time finally saying, “You win.”
Indeed, Lan Xuanyu won. Two days later, he received an invitation from the Sky Dragon Assembly, his battle plan had been adopted.
