“A big gift?”
Little Green Dragon was stunned. “What kind of gift?”
“The human race has collectively gathered a massive amount of resources. These Ziyun can be converted into over 4.2 million Qiankun crystals. Isn’t that a grand gift?” Lin Yun said with a grin.
“Really?” Little Green Dragon’s face lit up with excitement.
“Nonsense. Would I joke about something like this?” Lin Yun said, smacking his lips with a smile.
“Haha, that’s fantastic! Honestly, I’ve been racking my brain over gathering resources lately. Collecting enough to convert into three to five million Qiankun crystals was way too difficult for me. Now, the resource problem is solved!” Little Green Dragon said excitedly.
“Exactly. No need to worry about resources anymore. You’ve already upgraded to a supreme bloodline, right?” Lin Yun asked.
“Correct. I’ve reached a supreme bloodline. With enough Qiankun crystals, breaking through to ten claws is just a matter of time, heh!” Little Green Dragon said with a cheeky grin.
“Haha, great!”
Lin Yun felt even more excited hearing Little Green Dragon’s confirmation.
“Then, I’ll start converting the Qiankun crystals for you,” Lin Yun said.
With his mind made up, Lin Yun went to his cave mansion in the Western Sea Dragon Palace, took out the One Thought Clear Mind Tower, and entered it.
Inside the One Thought Clear Mind Tower, Lin Yun said, “Now, I’ll focus on converting Qiankun crystals for Little Green Dragon.”
He then revealed the Qiankun Supreme Cauldron, took out the resources, and began feeding them into it.
Ten days later, Lin Yun met Little Green Dragon again in the Dragon Palace, holding the converted Qiankun crystals.
Thanks to the One Thought Clear Mind Tower, fifty days had passed inside while only ten days elapsed outside.
“Kid, it’s done. This contains a total of 4.2 million Qiankun crystals. Plus, I’ve included over 200,000 Haoyue crystals. If the Qiankun crystals fall short, these Haoyue crystals can keep you going,” Lin Yun said, handing the storage ring to Little Green Dragon.
Some of the Haoyue crystals came from the Divine Mansion, others from rewards at the Heavenly God Palace.
After taking the storage ring, Little Green Dragon said, “Kid, this is what I’ve managed to gather in the Western Sea Dragon Palace during this time. Take it and convert it too.”
As he spoke, he handed Lin Yun a storage conch.
“Alright,” Lin Yun said, accepting the storage conch.
“Kid, since the Qiankun crystals are ready, I’m going into seclusion to break through to ten claws. Here’s hoping everything goes smoothly,” Little Green Dragon said with an expectant smile.
“Then I wish you success. All I can do is help gather resources and Qiankun crystals. The actual breakthrough depends on you,” Lin Yun said seriously.
Lin Yun knew how significant Little Green Dragon’s breakthrough to ten claws was.
“Kid, you’ve already done more than enough. Without the 4.2 million Qiankun crystals you got, reaching ten claws would have taken me tens of thousands of years. You’ve helped me this much; leave the rest to me,” Little Green Dragon said, patting Lin Yun’s shoulder with a grin. “Wait for my good news!”
“Alright, I’ll wait for your good news,” Lin Yun nodded gently, smiling.
With that, Little Green Dragon took the storage ring and headed to his cultivation cave for seclusion.
“I hope… everything goes smoothly,” Lin Yun said, a bit anxious.
After all, the last dragon to reach ten claws was hundreds of thousands of years ago. Since the Divine Dragon Pearl was lost, no ten-clawed dragon had emerged.
Neither Lin Yun nor Little Green Dragon knew what difficulties might arise during the breakthrough.
If any issues or obstacles occurred, Little Green Dragon would have to overcome them alone, as Lin Yun could offer no help.
So, everything now depended on Little Green Dragon.
Lin Yun looked down at the storage conch in his hand.
“I need to hurry and convert these resources too.”
If Little Green Dragon’s Qiankun crystals fell short during the breakthrough, having these converted would allow Lin Yun to replenish them.
With his mind set, Lin Yun returned to his cave mansion in the Western Sea Dragon Palace, entered the One Thought Clear Mind Tower again, and began converting the resources with the Qiankun Supreme Cauldron.
This batch was successfully converted into 650,000 Qiankun crystals.
This was a substantial amount.
Moreover, Little Green Dragon had already used up many of the Western Sea Dragon Palace’s resources to reach eight and nine claws.
Without Lin Yun’s efforts to gather resources from the human race, relying solely on Little Green Dragon’s batch would have been far from enough for ten claws. He would have needed to keep searching for more.
After converting the resources, Lin Yun couldn’t settle down, constantly worrying about Little Green Dragon’s progress.
So, he went to the outside of Little Green Dragon’s seclusion cave.
“Elder Lin, the Dragon King is in seclusion and can’t be disturbed. You can’t enter,” two Dragon Palace guards said, stopping Lin Yun as he arrived.
“I know. I’ll wait here,” Lin Yun said.
He sat cross-legged outside the cave, waiting.
The Western Sea Dragon Palace members, aware of Lin Yun’s close relationship with their Dragon King, didn’t stop him from waiting outside.
While waiting, Lin Yun continued to contemplate the insights he gained from the House of Rules.
Half a month passed in this wait.
Every day, Lin Yun felt uneasy and tense.
“It’s been a while since Little Green Dragon started seclusion. I wonder how it’s going,” Lin Yun said, looking at the cave ahead, both expectant and nervous.
This anticipation and tension surpassed even what he felt during his own breakthroughs.
Buzz!
At that moment, a powerful aura surged from within the cave.
“What’s happening?”
The two Dragon Palace guards’ expressions changed.
“What a commotion!”
Lin Yun, sensing the disturbance, was startled and fixed his gaze on the cave entrance.
Boom!
A green dragon burst out from the cave.
Lin Yun looked closely—it was Little Green Dragon.
Its aura and presence were immensely powerful, dominating all directions!
“Pay respects to the Dragon King!” the two Dragon Palace guards immediately saluted.
“You two, quickly inform all the elders to gather in the Dragon Palace’s council hall. I have important matters to announce!” Little Green Dragon ordered.
