I have seen dragons

Chapter 3 Wang Dalong

Even at midnight, the food street outside was bustling with activity.

In the bustling city, people are drunk at night.

Yue Wen had already washed up and was lying on the small bed on the second floor. He scrolled through his phone for a while before getting ready to sleep.

But there was one more thing he needed to do before going to sleep.

He put down his phone, closed his eyes and meditated. His consciousness sank, and in an instant, he vanished into darkness, arriving at a void and nothingness.

When I opened my eyes again, I found myself in a deep and solemn black and gold hall.

The four walls and the floor are made of jet-black stone, inlaid with large golden carvings, forming ancient and indescribable relief murals. Looking at them one by one, they seem to tell the story of countless battles between gods and demons in ancient times.

Directly in front of him was a long staircase, each step like a high wall. On the vast platform at the top of the staircase was a huge black and gold chair, upon which a dragon was coiled.

That's right, it's the legendary dragon.

A true dragon throne.

Its body was enormous; even the huge chair, several stories high, was only enough to barely encircle half of its body, with a large part of its dragon tail hanging off the back of the chair.

Its dark scales shimmered with a dark gold luster, each with mysterious patterns. Its head was held high, steady and domineering, and its slightly open pupils burned with a terrifyingly hot golden flame.

Its two horns, like long halberds, point straight to the dome.

"Da Long, I'm here again."

Yue Wen showed no reverence for the creature that exuded a sacred aura before him, as if he were greeting an old friend.

"I've told you many times not to address me so frivolously." The dragon on the throne spoke in human language, its voice deep and thunderous. "I don't blame you for not understanding dragon language and not knowing my real name. But when you call me, you should at least add the word 'King'."

"Alright, Wang Dalong." Yue Wen waved his hand casually. "I came to see you because I have something important to discuss."

"..." The dragon on the throne was somewhat speechless.

"I have cultivated to the late stage of the third realm, and I should be close to perfection." Yue Wenyi raised his hand, and a thick, coiled chaotic energy dragon appeared in his palm, with a faint whooshing sound as it rotated.

He looked at the dragon and asked, "How much money do you need to suppress evil spirits for your fourth-level cultivation technique?"

The dragon's pupils flickered with flames, as if it were searching its memory, before replying, "The True Dragon Dao Method, Gang Realm Chapter, is worth 399."

"Huh?" Yue Wen's expression still tightened even though he had expected it. "So expensive?"

He flipped his hand and produced a stack of old copper coins, about a dozen in total, each inscribed with the words "Suppress all evil spirits and stabilize the world."

"I only managed to refine twelve Suppression Coins after slaying a Tree Demon with a hundred-year cultivation level. This is already the biggest job I've taken on recently. How long would it take to accumulate enough coins for your cultivation technique? And this is only the fourth realm. What will happen when your cultivation level goes higher?"

Seeing his gloomy face, the dragon seemed somewhat relieved and snorted twice: "You think it's too expensive? Then go buy someone else's cultivation technique outside."

"Sigh." Yue Wen sighed.

He cultivated the "True Dragon Dao Method" sold by the giant dragon for the first three realms. Leaving aside the question of whether switching to a different method for the fourth realm would be compatible, even if it were, the cultivation methods available on the market are indeed far less powerful than the "True Dragon Dao Method."

This cultivation method is absolutely comparable to the world's top cultivation techniques; otherwise, how could a purely independent cultivator lacking resources have achieved such cultivation in such a short time?

If the "True Dragon Dao Method" were sold in the market of those cultivators, even just the fourth realm chapter would easily fetch a price of over a million.

After thinking for a moment, Yue Wen spoke again, "Then let me ask you..."

The dragon seemed to have anticipated his thoughts and said directly, "No credit allowed."

"I'm not asking for credit; I already said I'd only do it once," Yue Wen chuckled. "I just wanted to ask if you'd be willing to pay in installments."

"Humph."

The dragon did not answer, but simply closed its eyes, the flames in them vanished, and the entire hall was plunged into darkness.

Pull the switch.

……

Da Long only cares about money.

Yue Wen opened his eyes again on his small bed, his consciousness returning to reality.

The existence of this dragon is a major reason why he dares not join the Super Management Bureau.

Three years ago, after falling into a coma, his consciousness traveled to that space for the first time and saw the enormous dragon.

He still held a certain amount of awe when they first met.

The true dragon coiled on the throne claimed to be the true king of the Dragon Realm, who had been betrayed by a traitor and ended up here. Give him five million coins to ward off evil spirits, and he'll help him reclaim the throne. Then Yue Wen can become the prime minister of the Dragon Palace.

Yue Wen didn't dwell on what kind of creature the Dragon Palace Prime Minister was, but simply asked, "What is a curse-suppressing coin?"

The dragon replied, "Since you are the chosen one destined to descend upon this place, you only need to slay demons and evil spirits, and you will naturally be able to refine their souls into money to ward off evil."

Yue asked, "I am just a student with no cultivation. How can I kill demons and evil spirits?"

Da Long said, "You can use the money for suppressing evil spirits to buy cultivation techniques from me. After practicing, you will have cultivation."

Yue asked, "But I don't have any money to ward off evil spirits, how can I buy the cultivation method?"
Da Long said, "If you go and slay demons and evil spirits, you can get money to ward off evil spirits."

Yue asked, "But I have no cultivation, how can I slay demons?" Da Long replied, "Buy cultivation techniques from me and you will have cultivation."

Yue Wen said, "Are you sick?"

Da Long said, "Why are you cursing a dragon?"
Yue Wen said, I &%#……

So he not only saw dragons, he also cursed them.

After going through several cycles, both the man and the dragon realized the problem. Finally, the dragon reluctantly agreed to sell Yue Wen a cultivation technique on credit, namely the first chapter of the "True Dragon Dao Method".

Yue Wen also began his spiritual practice from this point on.

After cultivating, he woke up and suddenly realized that half a year had passed.

After his parents passed away, this dragon became his strongest asset.

It can sell not only cultivation techniques, but also magical artifacts, elixirs, talismans... Apart from living things like spiritual plants and exotic beasts, it seems that all kinds of cultivation treasures in the world are stored in its treasure trove.

Moreover, the quality is exceptionally high.

However, in the transaction, it only accepts money for warding off evil spirits.

Yue Wen opened this affordable cultivation agency out of necessity. Besides temporarily supporting himself, the more important reason was to establish a channel for obtaining information about evil spirits.

Although he longed to find his parents immediately, he knew that with his current strength, he was not qualified to explore that hidden place.

Becoming stronger is the primary goal.

He must kill as many evil spirits as possible, collect the money to suppress them, and go to the Great Dragon to improve his strength.

If Yue Wen were to be noticed by the Super Management Bureau for his supernatural abilities and magical artifacts, he would have no way of explaining their origins.

The dragon's nature is unpredictable, and he doesn't know why he was able to establish a connection with him. Moreover, if he were to reveal this ability honestly, he's unsure if he might be controlled and used as a research subject or a tool for trading.

Therefore, he did not want anyone to notice anything amiss.

Although it was a pity to refuse a top-tier position, Yue Wen understood that guarding this dragon was the best way to become stronger.

I was thinking about something when my phone suddenly vibrated.

There's news.

Yue Wen glanced at it and saw that there was a new message in the "Jiangcheng City Cultivator Order-Taking Group". He immediately perked up and clicked to read the details.

Sure enough, there was a new commission.

"The East City Cemetery needs to be cleansed of evil spirits. We are now recruiting a cultivator who is bold, meticulous, and conscientious. The cultivation level must be no lower than the second realm. Please submit a price quote within three hours. Priority will be given to cultivators from City 7."

This group consists of people in the same industry, who usually maintain a reserved and mysterious demeanor, only becoming lively when they come to commission something.

The moment the commission information was released, several messages were replied to instantly.

"I have high cultivation and great courage, I'll take orders for 20,000."

"Professional removal of nightmares, 12,000 yuan per order."

"I'm from City Seven. I can do all sorts of tricks and can take both male and female customers. I make 10,000 yuan a month."

"..."

Chengdong Cemetery is a large cemetery in the suburbs. Many victims of accidental death or demonic disasters, whose families have not claimed their bodies for a period of time and who cannot be cremated directly, are buried here first.

These days, spiritual energy is abundant, and corpses can easily give rise to evil spirits. This is mainly due to the combination of a person's residual spiritual energy and spiritual energy after death, creating "nightmares."

However, those who can be buried there are not powerful figures. Even if they give birth to nightmares, they are usually the weakest ghost fire nightmares, commonly known as lantern monsters.

That thing isn't very harmful. The cemetery management will accumulate it for a while, and when there's enough ghost fire, they'll invite cultivators to clean it up, like a regular deep clean.

This job is easy, safe, and the government pays generously. If you do a good job, you can maintain a long-term relationship. For these independent repairmen who take on jobs, it's a pretty good position.

"Even a small lantern monster is still meat, so it's good to clear them out periodically." Yue Wen thought for a moment and decided to take on this mission.

Seeing the fierce competition, he also sent a message.

"City No. 7, handsome, sweet-talking, highly skilled, lives nearby and doesn't require room and board, accepting orders for 1,000."

Upon seeing his price, the group members fell silent for a moment, followed by a flood of replies.

"Did you misprice it?"

"Damn it, you scoundrel!"

Do you have a hobby of exorcising evil spirits?

"???"

　As usual, the first day ended with three chapters, and thereafter two chapters will be updated every day. Friends who are interested should try to follow the book during the new book period, as the early readership data is especially important now.

　　Thank you everyone.

　　It's been a while since I posted a chapter, and I'm a little excited after posting it, haha.
