Dimension Demon's Chat Group

Chapter 504 Strange Fire Bathing Center
Looking at the silence on Ao Guang's face, Ao Run blinked and asked with some curiosity:
"Brother, I don't understand. When you heard about the princess of the otherworldly demon race before, didn't you want to marry her? Why are you so resistant now that you've met a more suitable relative?"

"..."

Upon hearing this, Ao Guang glanced at her and sighed softly, "That's because when I first came into contact with the City of Heavens, I was overconfident in the Dragon Clan's millennia-old heritage and misjudged the strength of another world."

"But now, I understand the gap between us."

"If we were to truly form a marriage alliance with the dragons of that world, wouldn't we once again be living under someone else's roof and becoming their vassal?"

Besides, what Ao Guang was more worried about was the otherworldly dragon race's desire for the bloodline of true dragons.

Indeed, marriage between the two sides, allowing them to exchange resources, can continuously improve the bloodline of the dragon race in future generations.

But compared to their descendants' bloodline, those powerful dragons would definitely prefer to purify their own bloodline.

The most effective way to achieve this is undoubtedly through absorption and inheritance.

Dragon blood, dragon flesh, dragon pearls, dragon scales...

These parts and organs existing on the body of a true dragon are the most coveted treasures for dragons and jiaos, and also the most efficient shortcut for them to transform into true dragons.

Furthermore, the Four Seas Dragon Clan is weak, and in the eyes of the Shrouding Sky Dragon Clan, they are simply walking dragon transformation pools.

Under such circumstances, Ao Guang naturally had to act cautiously and dared not rashly entrust his trust to the other party.

"I see!"

Ao Run nodded thoughtfully, then turned to Ao Bing and chuckled, "Good nephew, does that princess have some unreasonable request or difficult condition to ask of my Four Seas Dragon Clan to present such a generous gift?"

"..."

Ao Bing was taken aback upon hearing this, and honestly shook his head, saying, "No, they were all given away for free."

"That's weird!"

Ao Run said leisurely, "There's a saying in Zhutian City: what's free is often the most expensive. The Wanlong Nest is being so generous; it's definitely not just a gesture of goodwill towards us. They must have other motives."

"This……"

Ao Bing hesitated.

Seeing that his younger sister had already laid the issue out in the open, Ao Guang could only sigh inwardly before saying solemnly, "That's what I think too!"

"The Four Seas Dragon Clan is too weak in the City of Heavens. Cooperating with an overly powerful force is tantamount to seeking a tiger's skin."

"Bing'er, you've had contact with the Dragon Nest and even the Dragon Empress. Are you able to discern their attitudes?"

"So that's what you were worried about!" Ao Bing's expression relaxed, and he said with a smile, "Don't worry, Father, Sister Long and the others haven't obtained the city entry permit yet, so their cooperation with us can only be carried out through Brother Ye."

"Brother Ye has a power in that world called the Immortal Palace."

"The Immortal Palace is filled with powerful experts, and its strength is formidable. Even the current Ten Thousand Dragon Nest must bow down before them."

"With the Celestial Palace guaranteeing our Four Seas Dragon Clan, there will absolutely be no accidents!"

"Besides, I have already signed a void contract with Sister Long and the others. Even if you don't trust Brother Ye, you should at least trust the City of All Heavens, right?"

Void Pact?!

Ao Guang and the surrounding dragons exchanged glances, their eyes lighting up.

They had signed such a contract before, so they were well aware of its powerful impact.

"I see!"

Ao Guang breathed a sigh of relief and said with a relaxed smile, "If I had told you earlier that you had signed the Void Contract, how could I, your father, have judged you with the mind of a petty person?"

"In that case, it's settled then—when is the next time you agreed upon with Wanlong Nest?"

Ao Bing answered without hesitation, "Seven days later!"

Seven days?
Ao Guang thought for a moment, then nodded and said, "Alright, then let's take this time to prepare some gifts. At least we can't lose to Wanlongchao and Her Highness the Princess in terms of face!"

Ao Bing asked in confusion, "A gift?"

Ao Guang quickly corrected him, "It's cargo, cargo!"

……

……

Meanwhile, in the City of the Gods.

Xiao Yan had already returned to the Pill Pavilion and continued to run his pill business.

He accompanied Ye Fan to venture into the Myriad Dragon Nest, partly because he was invited by a group member to lend a helping hand, and partly because of the cooperation between the Pill Pavilion and the Red Dust Immortal Palace, which required him to personally identify rare and precious materials suitable for alchemy.

For this reason, in addition to the treasures and divine sources he personally found during his trip to the Myriad Dragon Nest, Xiao Yan also purchased a large number of rare medicinal herbs from Ye Fan.

Upon seeing these medicinal herbs, the old herbalist was immediately eager to try them out and began to study new elixir formulas with great interest.

Under these circumstances, Xiao Yan, who was already a seventh-grade alchemist, could not escape the fate of being an assistant. Only when the Pill Pavilion welcomed a major client could he escape from the pill furnace.

For example, right now, a resident of Zhutian City who has a partnership with Dange is visiting.

Upon receiving Xiao Huo's message, Xiao Yan immediately left the alchemy room and went to the main hall.

"Brother Han!"

Xiao Yan stepped forward with delight and congratulated Han Li, whose aura had become increasingly steady, saying, "Congratulations! It's only been a few days since I last saw you, Brother Han, your cultivation has improved again!"

"Thanks to Brother Xiao and Senior Yao's pills!" Han Li, who had already reached the peak of the early stage of Core Formation, responded modestly. He then took out a storage bag and said with a smile, "These are the spiritual veins that I have collected in the past half month. There are a total of four third-order veins, eight second-order veins, and twenty-seven first-order veins."

"so much?"

Xiao Yan looked pleasantly surprised and immediately took the storage bag, saying with a smile, "Perfect timing. The spiritual veins we consigned before were almost sold out by Brother Fan and Brother Yun. This new batch of goods arrived just in time, which should be enough to last us a few more days."

Sold out so quickly?
Han Li was slightly taken aback, then a slight smile appeared on his lips, and a feeling of joy welled up in his heart.

Sure enough, spiritual veins are in high demand in Zhutian City, and are much more valuable than the ancient spiritual herbs he has!

Xiao Yan casually handed the spiritual vein to the shop assistant, Xiao Huo, then took out the city entry token and said with a smile:

"As agreed, we'll split the profits 70/30. I'll transfer the profits from that batch of spiritual veins to you right now!"

"Not in a hurry!"

Han Li quickly spoke up, stopping Xiao Yan, and then, under Xiao Yan's questioning gaze, he smiled and said, "To be honest, I have recently been traveling in the outer seas, collecting spiritual veins, hunting demonic beasts, and with the help of the pills from the Pill Pavilion, my cultivation has finally made some progress. I am now close to breaking through to the mid-stage of Core Formation."

"However, such a rapid pace of cultivation has caused my foundation to become somewhat unstable, and I urgently need some relevant pills to replenish it. I wonder if Brother Xiao or the Pill Pavilion... have any recommendations?"

They want to exchange the profits for pills!
Xiao Yan suddenly realized and immediately said with a smile, "Of course!"

"but……"

Xiao Yan paused, looked Han Li up and down, and then said with a smile, "Brother Han, your body is rich in spiritual energy, and there is still a lot of medicinal power left. You must not have completely digested the pill you swallowed last time, right?"

"..."

Han Li felt a little embarrassed upon hearing this, but he still nodded and said, "That's true!"

Xiao Yan shook his head and said, "Then let's stop taking pills and focus on consolidating our foundation!"

Han Li looked at Xiao Yan thoughtfully, sensing that he seemed to have some other suggestion, so he humbly asked for his advice:
"May I ask, Brother Xiao, do you have any insightful opinions?"

"You know what, there really is!"

Xiao Yan smiled and said, "Our Pill Pavilion has recently expanded into a side business called the Myriad Fire Pool. As the name suggests, it involves bathing the entire body in various flames, using the properties of the flames themselves to temper the body and purify the mana!"

Oh?
Han Li's eyes lit up. He knew that recently, merchants in Zhutian City liked to create comprehensive shopping malls, integrating businesses from many different fields into one store.

But unexpectedly, DanGe, which has always sold hard currency, is also doing this.

Xiao Yan laughed and said, "Brother Han's condition is perfect for him to bathe in the Heart Flame Pool. With the characteristics of the Fallen Heart Flame, he will surely burn off excess magic power and quickly stabilize his foundation!"

Heartfire Pool...

Han Li's heart stirred slightly. Recalling what he had seen and heard on the way, he suddenly realized and blurted out:
"Strange Fire Bathing Center!"

"..."

Xiao Yan's smile froze, then his lips twitched as he asked, "Where did you hear that name?"

Han Li said apologetically, "I heard it mentioned by two seniors from the Myriad Realms Plaza when I passed by."

It's definitely one of the bastards in the group!

Xiao Yan gritted his teeth and cursed inwardly.

Even before he came up with the idea, these guys jokingly referred to his Wanhuo Pool as the Strange Fire Bathing Center.

Before the official opening, this nickname was only kept within chat groups. Unexpectedly, it has now spread, and even Han Li, a resident of Zhutian City who does not come back often, has heard about it.

"Damn it, don't let me find out who it is!"

Xiao Yan was indignant, but he forced a dry laugh and said, "In any case, the Fallen Heart Flame is most suitable for Brother Han. If Brother Han is willing, why don't you come with me to take a look at... cough, the Myriad Fire Pool?"

"Right on my mind!"

Han Li solemnly cupped his hands in greeting, then took a step forward, intending to follow Xiao Yan into the Pill Pavilion.

Just then, a long, exhilarating roar suddenly came from a shop in the distance.

Xiao Yan and Han Li paused, both turning to look at the sky in astonishment.

Above the Immortal Palace of the Mortal World, a dazzling azure light shot into the sky, stirring up the surrounding winds and clouds, and condensing into a vast azure vortex that blotted out the sun, like the sky itself.

At the center of the vortex, there was a blurry figure standing in mid-air.

The reason it is described as blurry is not because Xiao Yan and Han Li lack eyesight, but because this person has no flesh and blood at all. His entire body is composed of rapidly spinning cyan wind blades, as if bound into human form by some force, cutting through space while unrestrainedly emitting a powerful aura as vast as the sea.

"Hahahaha!"

"Once I swallow this golden pill, my fate is in my own hands, not in the heavens!"

"From this day forward, I am the golden one, living as long as Heaven—"

The figure in blue laughed loudly, but before he could finish his arrogant and childish words, a vast sea of ​​clouds gathered and transformed into a gigantic hand that covered the sky, mercilessly slapping down on him.

With a loud bang, the blue figure let out a shrill scream, and its body, formed of wind blades, instantly disintegrated, turning into countless blue feathers that plummeted rapidly towards the Red Dust Immortal Palace below.

At the same time, the cloud hand that had blotted out the sky completely disintegrated, and a faint voice emanated from it, resounding in the ears of all the residents of the Heavenly City:

"In public places, it is strictly forbidden to make noise, refrain from provoking trouble, or disrupt order."

"The first offense will be subject to a fine of one thousand. I hope you will remember this and take it as a warning..."
