I, the Five-Clawed Golden Dragon, am being kept by the state.

"I have no objection."

Li Chen's voice came from the statue, as calm as if he were talking about what to eat today.

"You can arrange it yourselves."

Chen Dong breathed a sigh of relief.

He was initially worried that the Dragon Lord would refuse, since such a public appearance is no small matter for any being.

But the Dragon Lord's attitude was much more casual than he had imagined.

"Thank you, Lord Dragon Lord."

Chen Dong bowed and thanked him, then paused before speaking again, "By the way, Lord Dragon Lord, there is one more thing."

"explain."

Chen Dong carefully considered his words.

"It's that ambergris crystal..."

As soon as he finished speaking, the hall fell into a brief silence.

Chen Dong's heart beat a little faster.

He knew this request was somewhat presumptuous, but the effects of ambergris were truly astonishing.

Wang Yijun went from near death to full recovery in less than half an hour.

If there were more of these, their significance to the entire Chinese nation would be self-evident.

"You want to use it too?"

Li Chen's voice rang out, revealing neither joy nor anger.

Chen Dong gritted his teeth and told the truth.

"Yes."

He raised his head and said, "Lord Dragon, there are too many people like Wang Yijun in our country. They risk their lives for the country, but end up with a lot of injuries and illnesses."

"If we had ambergris crystals, at least they could suffer less."

Silence fell again in the hall.

Chen Dong's palms began to sweat.

He didn't know if the Dragon Lord would agree, but he had to say it.

The silence in the hall lasted for a long time, so long that Chen Dong could even hear his own heartbeat.

"Ambergris crystal is not inexhaustible."

Li Chen's voice finally rang out, his tone still calm.

Chen Dong's heart sank; he knew that this request was indeed a bit excessive.

The name "ambergris crystal" itself suggests that it is extremely precious.

"but……"

Li Chen changed the subject.

"If you truly wish to cure the sick and save lives, I can concoct medicine for you."

Chen Dong suddenly raised his head, a hint of surprise flashing in his eyes.

"Alchemy?"

"right."

Chen Dong's breathing became rapid.

Alchemy!

The Dragon Lord can actually refine medicine!

"only……"

Li Chen paused for a moment, then said, "You will need to provide the medicinal herbs yourselves. I will only be responsible for the refining."

"no problem!"

Chen Dong blurted out, "What medicinal herbs does Lord Dragon Lord need? Just tell us, and we'll prepare them immediately!"

"No rush."

Li Chen's voice carried a hint of amusement, "I'll first see what medicinal herbs your world has that are available. I'll make a list for you then."

Chen Dong took a deep breath, suppressing his excitement.

"So, how effective is this medicine?"

He couldn't help but ask.

After all, the effects of ambergris crystal are too amazing. If the medicine refined from it had the same effect, that would be simply...

"While it may not grant immortality, it can certainly prolong life, prevent various diseases, and keep you healthy."

Li Chen spoke casually, as if he were talking about a trivial matter.

But these words struck Chen Dong like a thunderclap.

Prolong your life!

Invulnerable to all diseases!

These two words are enough to drive the whole world crazy!

Chen Dong's hands were trembling slightly.

He forced himself to calm down and took a few deep breaths.

"Thank you, Lord Dragon!"

He solemnly cupped his hands in a respectful gesture, saying, "The hundreds of millions of people of China will forever remember your kindness!"

Chen Dong left the main hall.

As soon as he stepped out the door, he saw Zhao Wenjin and the others waiting anxiously outside.

"How is it?"

Zhao Wenjin strode forward. "Did the Dragon Lord agree?"

Chen Dong didn't say anything, but just gave him a deep look.

Then, a slow smile curved his lips.

"Get ready, we're about to get busy."

......

the next day.

When the conference room door was pushed open and Chen Dong walked in, everyone's eyes turned to him.

Zhang Huaiyuan couldn't sit still any longer and stood up abruptly.

"How's it going? What's the Dragon Lord's attitude?"

Chen Dong sat down in the main seat, glanced around, and slowly began to speak.

"The Dragon Lord said that the quantity of Dragon Saliva Crystals is limited and it is impossible to supply them in large quantities."

As soon as he finished speaking, a chorus of sighs filled the conference room.

Qin Mingyuan shook his head.

"That's true, how could such a treasure be given away so easily?"

Lin Feng pushed up his glasses and was about to speak when Chen Dong raised his hand to interrupt him.

"but--"

Chen Dong paused for a moment, then said, "The Dragon Lord can refine medicine."

The meeting room fell silent instantly.

"Alchemy?"

Zhao Wenjin was taken aback. "What medicine?"

"Prolong life and protect against all diseases."

Chen Dong spoke calmly, but those eight words caused an uproar among the crowd.

Zhang Huaiyuan slammed his hand on the table.

"What did you say?!"

Qin Mingyuan stood up abruptly from his chair, his voice trembling.

"Longevity? Immunity to all diseases? This...is this true?"

Lin Feng's glasses nearly slipped down as he stared intently at Chen Dong: "Director Chen, are you sure Long Zun meant this?"

"Absolutely true."

Chen Dong nodded. "That's what the Dragon Lord said himself."

A brief silence fell over the meeting room.

A few seconds later, Zhang Huaiyuan took a deep breath, his voice trembling: "If this is true..."

"The whole world would go crazy."

Qin Mingyuan took over the conversation, his expression grave.

Zhao Wenjin pushed up his glasses, forcing himself to calm down.

"Does the Dragon Lord have any requirements?"

"We need to provide the medicinal herbs ourselves."

Chen Dong said, "Dragon Lord is only responsible for refining."

Lin Feng immediately replied, "No problem! We can bring you anything, even mountains of gold and silver!"

Zhang Huaiyuan nodded: "Yes, it's nothing, it's just a small matter."

Seeing everyone's excited expressions, Chen Dong tapped the table: "Don't be too happy yet, the Dragon Lord hasn't given the prescription yet."

"When can you give it to me?" Qin Mingyuan asked anxiously.

"The Dragon Lord said he wants to see what medicinal herbs are available in our world first, and then he will make a list."

Zhao Wenjin immediately stood up: "I'll contact all the major medicinal herb bases right away and compile all the information on the herbs."

"etc."

Chen Dong stopped him, "Keep this a secret for now, the fewer people who know, the better."

Everyone's expression turned serious, and they all nodded.

They all knew that if the news of this longevity-promoting drug were leaked, it would cause a huge sensation.

Zhang Huaiyuan said in a deep voice, "Director Chen is right, this matter must be kept strictly confidential."

Qin Mingyuan also spoke up: "I suggest that the procurement of medicinal herbs be carried out in a decentralized manner, so as not to arouse suspicion."

Lin Feng added, "Furthermore, the location for refining the medicine must be carefully chosen; it must be absolutely safe."

Chen Dong looked at everyone and slowly said, "Those are things for later. Right now, the most important thing is—"

He paused, his gaze sweeping over everyone present.

"How are the preparations for the Dragon Lord's public appearance going?"

Zhao Wenjin spoke up, using the remote control to switch the projected image.

A detailed plan for guiding public opinion appeared on the screen.

"The first phase involves releasing ambiguous information."

"The official media reported that 'a major historical site was discovered at the Mausoleum of the First Qin Emperor' without mentioning the specific details."

"The second phase involves releasing partial images."

"Close-up photos of dragon scales and claws, combined with expert interviews, guide the public's imagination."

"The third stage is direct disclosure."

Zhao Wenjin put down the laser pointer.

"The entire process was completed in three months, with each stage spaced one month apart."

"Give the public enough time to mentally prepare and avoid causing panic."

"What if Western media use this as an opportunity to sensationalize it?"

Zhao Wenjin had already come up with a solution.

"That's perfect."

"The more Western media hype it up, the better our public opinion guidance will be."

"They said we were working on some secret weapon, so we released photos of dragon scales."

"They said we were fabricating myths, so we released the Qin Shi Huang bamboo slips."

"In the end, they will discover that there really are dragons in the Dragon Kingdom."
