King Ember's Journey to Tevat

Chapter 568 Blood Branch Coral

Coral Palace, many matters on Haiji Island are handled here.

When Kaijijima was fighting against the shogunate, the place was always brightly lit. Now that the war is over, the overtime phenomenon at the Coral Palace...is even more serious.

There are many things to deal with during a war, and even more so after the war is over.

After all, once the war is over, the reconstruction of trade in various places, the arrangement and disposal of personnel, etc. all need to be dealt with.

If Ember and the shogunate hadn't taken over the dragon lizard matter, I'm afraid the Coral Palace would have started working in three shifts.

But today, Ember, who was supposed to be dealing with the dragon lizard, ran to the Coral Palace.

Running into the Coral Palace, Yi Yan found Xinhai's location at a glance - the place where the documents were piled highest was where Xinhai's office was.

"Boom boom boom!"

Ember knocked on the table, and Xinhai, who was working at the desk, was interrupted. She raised her head and saw Ember beside her.

"It turns out to be embers. Could it be that there is something wrong with the dragon lizard?"

"You're so smart, you guessed it right away." Yi Yan nodded and gave a thumbs up to Xinhai.

"Haha, you're exaggerating for Yi Yan." Xinhai laughed a few times. Apart from the problem with the dragon lizard, does Yi Yan have any reason to come to the Coral Palace?

"Is there not enough manpower? Haiji Island can use some more people." After sorting out the messy desktop, Xinhai continued to ask.

"That's not necessary. I just want to ask, how did the Yuan people drive the dragon lizard into a corner before?"

"Yuanxia Palace?" Xinhai lowered his head and thought for a while after hearing this, then raised his head and replied as if he remembered something:

"When it comes to suppressing dragon lizards, I don't know the specific measures, but the blood branch coral should be useful."

"Bloody Coral?"

Seeing Yu Yan's confused look, Xinhai continued to explain: "You must have seen Yu Yan's transformation into a holy land on Haizhi Island."

"Yes, it's difficult for you to deal with this place." Yi Yan nodded. The issue of converting Haiji Island into a holy land was very difficult.

"That's right, and I don't know if you've discovered it or not. With the speed at which Haiji Island is turning into a holy land, we will never be able to reproduce here for thousands of years."

Yi Yan also reacted after hearing the words. He said thoughtfully: "Yes, at this rate, this place should have turned into a real desert long ago!"

"Yeah, so we need to perform a rebirth ceremony every few hundred years to dissolve part of the elemental power rising from the ground."

"And the only one that can do this is the Blood Branch Coral growing in Yuanxia Palace."

"What do you mean, this [Blood Branch Coral] can dispel elemental power?" Yi Yan touched his chin, and then said with some hindsight and surprise: "Dissolving elemental power, is it so magical?!"

It is not an exaggeration to say that elemental power is the foundation of this world. Now there is something that can dissolve elemental power, which is really shocking.

"Actually, it's not completely dispelled, it's just softening those violent elemental forces so they don't have such strong corrosive power."

Xinhai saw Yu Yan's surprised look and immediately waved his hand. The Blood Branch Coral is indeed magical when said to be magical, but if we really dig into it, it’s actually just that.

"There are many ways to convert the elemental power into something. The truly magical thing about Blood Branch Coral is that it is actually an animal." Xinhai quickly explained to Ember.

"Animals? There are also animals that feed on elemental power?" Yi Yan sighed after hearing this. The world is so big, there are all kinds of strange things.

Who would have thought that there could be animals that feed on elemental forces?

"Yes, the Blood Branch Coral is said to be coral, but it is actually the cocoon of the Coral King Insect. Under the right conditions, it will turn into a flying coral butterfly, feeding on the wild elemental power everywhere."

Xinhai said as he rummaged through the nearby file cabinet and found a carefully preserved portrait.

"This was painted by a witch during a festival hundreds of years ago. They are coral butterflies transformed from blood branch corals."

Yi Yan looked down and saw that Haizhi Island hundreds of years ago was no different than it is now, except that there were many more blue and pink crystal butterflies on it. The butterflies fluttered and danced, like groups of crystal butterflies where the earth veins were deposited.

"It's a beautiful thing, why can't you see it now?" Yi Yan pondered for a while, and then asked a little strangely.

Judging from the picture, this group of coral butterflies is quite large, but why are there only a few sparse and nameless butterflies on Haizhi Island now?

"This is about the uniqueness of Blood Branch Coral and other methods of transforming elemental power." Xinhai smiled upon hearing this.

"If you simply use alchemy to reverse the transformation of the Holy Land, no matter how many alchemists you have on the island, it will not be enough, and the materials required are also an astronomical number."

Xinhai walked to the window and looked at Haiji Island in the distance. Although Kaiji Island is an island, it is actually more like a small continent.

If you stand in the middle, you can't tell that this is an island at all.

Ember nodded in agreement. As Xinhai said before, there is more than one way to transform elemental power. Among other things, the widely circulated alchemy is a good choice.

However, alchemy can only be used on a small scale. If you want to use it to transform the environment...

Ember can only hope that those who have this idea can afford the sky-high cost.

"But it's different with coral king worms. As long as the conditions are suitable, they can grow rapidly and automatically stop reproduction when the concentration of elements in the soil of Haiji Island drops to a certain level."

"In short, they are environment-modified creatures specially found by Omikami for Kaiji Island."

The people of Haiji Island love Orobas so much not only because Orobas brought them to the surface, but also because it brought back the Blood Branch Coral from the Dark Sea.

With the blood branch coral, Haizhi Island avoided the fate of turning into a desert.

"Aurobas is so capable?" Ember turned his head and looked at the big snake that turned into a mountain range in the distance. No wonder the people of Haiji Island were worshiping it a thousand or two thousand years later.

After doing so much for Hajijima, it’s no wonder.

"So, the blood branch coral is the way for the people of Yuanxia Palace to resist the dragon lizards?" After thinking about it for a while, Yi Yan understood the other uses of the blood branch coral.

The land of Haiji Island is full of wild elemental power, and the body of the dragon lizard is also full of wild elemental power.

It seems that it is not difficult for Blood Branch Coral to change the target of action.

"It's not mentioned in the ancient books, but it's probably about the same." Xinhai confirmed Yu Yan's idea.

"Hiss..., does that mean I have to go underground?" Yu Yan scratched his head, feeling that something was a little troublesome.

The dragon lizard is still making a fuss. At this time, he is running underground to find some "blood branch coral". When he returns to the surface, he may cause some trouble.

"If you don't want to run away, Ember, Haiji Island can do it for you."

"Now that it has been hundreds of years since the last festival, it is time for Kaiji Island to hold a spirit-returning ceremony."

Seeing Ember holding his chin, Xinhai offered to do it for him. Kaijijima had already started preparing for the spirit resurrecting ceremony before, and it was almost ready now.

All it takes is a suitable person to bring the Blood Branch Coral, and the ceremony can be held immediately.

"That's a bit slow..." Yi Yan raised his head and looked in a certain direction, where there was a wall made of black wood.

Yi Yan nodded in the direction of the wooden wall, and then said pointedly: "I think someone should have done something for us in advance."

"Who?!" Xinhai looked at the wall with some vigilance and saw Yu Hu. Only then did she realize that there seemed to be something strange behind the wall.

"You really can't be fooled?" A slightly helpless female voice came, and then the lady stood up from behind the wall.

"The [Blood Branch Coral] you are talking about..., could it be this?"

Looking at the coral branch in her hand that looked like blood dripping, the lady's lips curved into a smile.
