“Oh? What’s the matter?”
Vice Palace Master Yao and Emperor Huoyun, hearing Lin Yun speak like this, showed serious expressions.
Since Lin Yun put it that way, it must be something particularly significant.
“Regarding the dragon clan, about them helping us fight the demon clan, the Dragon King of the Western Sea Dragon Palace now has the bloodline potential to advance to ten claws. Currently, it only lacks sufficient resources to break through to ten claws. Since our human race wishes to ally with the dragon clan and have them assist in dealing with the demon clan, we naturally should lend a hand to the Western Sea Dragon King in this matter,” Lin Yun said.
Lin Yun continued, “As long as the Western Sea Dragon King can reach ten claws in one go, it could smoothly unify the other three dragon palaces. Then, the support our human race receives won’t just be from the Western Sea Dragon Palace, but from the entire dragon clan in the truest sense!”
Vice Palace Master Yao said, “Lin Yun, if the dragon clan is to help us, we naturally can’t let them do it for nothing. Our human race should offer a generous gift as compensation. I’ve considered this issue for a long time, but I really couldn’t think of what resources our human race could provide that the dragon clan would value. Weapons, secret manuals, treasures, these things, they can’t use.”
Emperor Huoyun nodded, “Indeed, this is a problem. After all, our cultivation systems are different, and many things valuable to our human race are useless to the dragon clan.”
“Haoyue crystals can help the Western Sea Dragon King achieve ten claws,” Lin Yun said.
“Good. Lin Yun, give us a number. How many Haoyue crystals does the Western Sea Dragon King need? Since our human race is asking the dragon clan for such significant help, we will naturally show enough sincerity,” Vice Palace Master Yao asked.
“To reach ten claws, the Western Sea Dragon King would need around three to five million Haoyue crystals,” Lin Yun said.
“What?”
“Three… three to five million?”
Vice Palace Master Yao, hearing this number, was so shocked he nearly fell off his chair.
This was beyond an astronomical figure.
Emperor Huoyun was equally startled by the number.
“Lin Yun, it’s not that the Heavenly God Palace is unwilling to help, but where could we possibly get so many Haoyue crystals? After the war broke out, the Heavenly God Palace distributed many Haoyue crystals to the Immortals. Now, our stock is less than a hundred thousand. We simply can’t produce that amount,” Vice Palace Master Yao said helplessly.
“Vice Palace Master Yao, I understand, which is why I have a solution,” Lin Yun said.
“Oh? What solution?” Vice Palace Master Yao asked, puzzled.
Lin Yun flipped his hand, revealing a Qiankun crystal.
“Vice Palace Master Yao, take a look at this Qiankun crystal.”
Lin Yun tossed the Qiankun crystal to Vice Palace Master Yao.
Vice Palace Master Yao caught the Qiankun crystal and examined it.
“This… the effects of this thing are so similar to Haoyue crystals!” After sensing its effects, Vice Palace Master Yao was utterly shocked.
The importance of Haoyue crystals was self-evident.
In peacetime, the Heavenly God Palace could control numerous Immortals, making them willingly join, largely due to the allure of Haoyue crystals.
And now, something with the same effect as Haoyue crystals had appeared!
How could Vice Palace Master Yao not be astounded?
“Lin Yun, how did you obtain this?” Vice Palace Master Yao immediately pressed.
This matter was of great significance!
“It’s this Qiankun Supreme Cauldron.”
Lin Yun waved his hand, revealing the Qiankun Supreme Cauldron.
“It can transform resources into Qiankun crystals, but it comes at a cost. You need to input high-quality items, such as weapons, magical tools, rare objects, precious ores, or even demon beast carcasses. Depending on the quality of the input, it produces corresponding Qiankun crystals,” Lin Yun said.
Emperor Huoyun, standing nearby, was startled when Lin Yun revealed the Qiankun Supreme Cauldron.
“Disciple, are you… going to make the Qiankun Supreme Cauldron public?” Emperor Huoyun exclaimed.
Emperor Huoyun was well aware of the cauldron’s importance.
“Master, given the current situation, I had no choice but to reveal it,” Lin Yun said.
Before coming, Lin Yun had prepared to lay his cards on the table and reveal the Qiankun Supreme Cauldron.
To gather enough Qiankun crystals for Little Green Dragon, the amount of resources required was astronomical.
Relying solely on Lin Yun and Emperor Huoyun to gather them was too difficult.
They had to leverage the power of the Heavenly God Palace.
Thus, revealing the Qiankun Supreme Cauldron was necessary.
Moreover, with Lin Yun’s current strength, he had the ability to protect the Qiankun Supreme Cauldron, unlike before.
“So, the Qiankun Supreme Cauldron fell into your hands. With this, we can produce Qiankun crystals in large quantities,” Vice Palace Master Yao said, astonished.
“Exactly. Since Qiankun crystals have similar effects to Haoyue crystals, as long as we gather enough resources to transform into Qiankun crystals, we can help the Western Sea Dragon King reach ten claws and confront the Demon Lord!” Lin Yun said.
Lin Yun continued, “In other words, supporting the dragon clan now doesn’t require Haoyue crystals specifically. Any resources will do.”
“Indeed, that makes things much easier. However, to produce three to five million Qiankun crystals, the resources needed are still not a small amount,” Vice Palace Master Yao sighed.
“Vice Palace Master Yao, the resources required are far more than a small amount; it’s an astronomical figure. I can’t do it alone and must rely on the Heavenly God Palace,” Lin Yun said with a wry smile.
“Alright, I’ll go gather the resources. Wait here,” Vice Palace Master Yao said, standing up immediately.
…
After Vice Palace Master Yao left, only Lin Yun and Emperor Huoyun remained in the hall.
“Disciple, you finally revealed the Qiankun Supreme Cauldron,” Emperor Huoyun said with a sigh.
“Master, without doing so, we couldn’t gather enough resources for Little Green Dragon. There was no other way,” Lin Yun said helplessly.
“Indeed, producing three to five million Qiankun crystals is no easy task,” Emperor Huoyun nodded in agreement.
“By the way, disciple, I’ve been to the Divine Mansion. Palace Master Mo said you requested a spot for me several times. You really care for your master,” Emperor Huoyun said with a gratified smile.
When Emperor Huoyun first learned of this, he was deeply moved.
“Heh, I just made a request. It was mainly because Master’s strength met the standard that you got in,” Lin Yun said with a grin.
“As your master, I’m now a Quasi-Guardian, and I’ve learned you’re now a Heavenly Fire Leader. You’re truly remarkable. I’m proud of your achievements and believe you’ll pass the ultimate test in the future!” Emperor Huoyun said, smiling.
