The Great Xia Dynasty's Longevity Begins with Connecting to the Swallowed Starry Sky

Chapter 119 Nobody here? Turtle Thousand-Year-Old, Headquarters
All of this happened so fast.

This left both Song Fugui and Xie Lingyun somewhat bewildered.

When did the reclamation begin?

"here……"

Song Fugui said, "Although this area within two hundred miles is your fiefdom."

But surely there isn't enough spiritual energy within two hundred miles of here, and the soil isn't suitable for cultivating spiritual land either?

When Qin Hao first arrived, he also saw this place where the nine rivers converge, but in fact, the source of all the rivers is in Pengze Lake, which is 800 miles away.

He was also curious about what was so mysterious about this place that it could create nine branching water veins.

In addition, the spiritual energy concentration in Pengze Lake is extremely high, but there are very few demonic beasts.

Although the concentration of spiritual energy within hundreds of miles around Pengze Lake is sufficient, no natural spiritual fields have formed.

Moreover, the people of Yuzhang County did not come here to cultivate the land.

Although the land here has not formed a sacred field, it is still extremely fertile.

The reason lies in that innate dragon vein.

Xie Lingyun added, "Moreover, it's a two-hundred-mile radius. And there's that island in the middle of the lake. With such a large area, there probably aren't enough people."

Qin Hao laughed heartily, and while everyone was puzzled, he said with a smile, "Manpower? Don't worry, they'll be here soon."

In fact, Qin Hao had quite a few puppets at his disposal.

In the Devouring World, as long as you have money, you can buy quite a few puppets at the Domain Lord level, which is the third realm.

And the planetary and stellar-level puppets below are even more numerous.

The Cosmic Galaxy Bank can buy you enough; it just depends on whether you have the money.

As long as you pay, the Cosmic Galaxy Bank can even get you a machine race.

Of course, whether you can subdue them or not is none of their concern.

Song Fugui initially wanted to tell Futong Money Shop that they didn't have enough manpower.

Please don't joke around.

Then, a gasp was heard from the surrounding area.

As everyone turned their heads, they saw many heads suddenly emerge from the water.

Of all the oddly shaped creatures, only the leader's head resembles a human's.

"A water demon? How is that possible!"

Song Fugui exclaimed in surprise, because the information from Futong Money Shop did not mention how many water monsters were in Pengze Lake.

People often come to the area around Pengze Lake to harvest aquatic plants.

These aquatic plants are a good foundational resource for children from ordinary families.

The poor study literature, the rich study martial arts, but even studying literature requires a lot of resources.

Qin Hao shook his head: "It's not a water demon, but a water creature."

Of course, there is no difference between the two.

The only difference is whether or not there is a dragon ruler.

Although Qin Hao is not a dragon, there is one at the bottom of Pengze Lake, and it is a primordial dragon.

These aquatic creatures were transformed by some of the dragon energy that had escaped from that innate dragon clan.

They naturally submitted to the dragon race.

"The Turtle King of Pengze Lake Dragon Palace greets Your Majesty. Please come to the Dragon Palace."

This "Turtle Thousand Years Old" doesn't refer to any official position.

Qin Hao also knew that he was the Dragon Palace Turtle Prime Minister.

Among aquatic creatures, turtles are known for their longevity and intelligence, which is why almost every dragon palace has a turtle prime minister.

The one before us is none other than the Turtle Prime Minister of the Dragon Palace of Pengze Lake.

Lord?

Song Fugui was taken aback, looked at Qin Hao with suspicion.

Are you not human?

This isn't an insult, but rather a suspicion that Qin Hao is of dragon lineage.

Qin Hao shook his head slightly: "We'll discuss the specifics later."

"Please come with me to the Dragon Palace first, settle in, and then we can discuss things further."

Everyone present was a prodigy.

But breathing underwater is not something they can do yet.

Fortunately, the Dragon Palace may not have much else, but it does have quite a few water-repelling beads.

Qin Hao asked Turtle Thousand Years to find some pearls. These were pearls formed by aquatic creatures such as clam demons, and they naturally possessed the function of repelling water, so it was not wrong to call them water-repelling pearls.

Some people were worried, as this Turtle Elder looked very powerful.

Its transformation was so complete that, apart from the tortoise shell on its back, it was clearly left behind to be used as a shield.

Everywhere else, they are no different from the human race.

This thousand-year-old tortoise, could it possibly have the strength of the fourth realm?

His respectful attitude towards Qin Hao was truly surprising.

When they arrived at the Dragon Palace, the underwater scenery was even more breathtaking.

It's really surprising.

All kinds of aquariums are neatly organized.

Upon reaching a certain point in the center, a crystal palace appeared.

Song Fugui was even more surprised: "I've never heard of a dragon palace in Pengze Lake."

Gui Qiansui laughed and said, "That's because the Lord of Pengze has not yet returned to his position. We aquatic creatures are all strictly guarding the Dragon Palace and have never gone out."

Song Fugui understood: "No wonder it's mostly ordinary people who come here; I've never heard of any cultivators coming here."

Gui Qiansui nodded: "Every governor of Yuzhang Prefecture comes to the Dragon Palace to sign a contract, restricting those cultivators from coming to the Dragon Palace. However, what happens after that is up to Your Majesty."

Although Gui Qiansui was only at the fourth realm, he was extremely respectful to Qin Hao.

While others might have doubts, Qin Hao had none.

These aquatic creatures all originated from the dragon energy of that innate dragon clan, and are naturally imbued with karma.

Moreover, around Pengze Lake, the innate dragon race can take action, and their strength is equivalent to that of the immortal realm.

This is something that even the strongest fighting force in the Great Xia Dynasty cannot match.

Therefore, Song Fugui's previous statement that this was Qin Hao's fiefdom was incorrect.

Because the Great Xia Dynasty had no authority to bestow such honors.

However, from another perspective, it is also correct.

This was the territory of that innate dragon clan, which was granted to Qin Hao.

Qin Hao invited everyone to sit down, and he himself took the main seat, which originally belonged to the Dragon King.

None of the aquatic creatures objected, which surprised Song Fugui.

He thought to himself, "In the future, when Qin Hao comes into contact with other major forces, his status will be equivalent to that of a fourth-realm expert."

Gui Qiansui is undoubtedly at the fourth realm, but it is still unknown whether there are other powerful figures at the fourth realm in this Dragon Palace.

But Song Fugui guessed that it was most likely true.

The Turtle Prime Minister is a staff member in the Dragon Palace, responsible for combat, not the Turtle Prime Minister himself.

Qin Hao was no longer in a hurry to understand the power of the Dragon Palace. Instead, he said to Song Fugui and Xie Lingyun, "Previously, all the spiritual energy around here was attracted by Pengze Lake and bound to the surface of the lake."

After that, I can have the Turtle Prime Minister loosen up a bit, allowing the spiritual energy to permeate the surrounding two hundred miles.

The reclamation of some spirit fields is also easy to arrange; Prime Minister Turtle can mobilize the aquatic creatures of the Dragon Palace to help.

In addition, the silt at the bottom of this lake is the best source of spiritual soil.

As for the rest, that's up to you, Brother Song.

Song Fugui felt somewhat flattered.

The ruler of the Dragon Palace still addressed him as Brother Song, just as before.

"Of course, you can leave this to Futong Money Exchange."

Song Fugui meant that he was no longer worthy to trade with Qin Hao and wanted to switch to Futong Money House.

Qin Hao shook his head slightly: "I still prefer to work with Brother Song."

Song Fugui was overjoyed and quickly agreed.

This opportunity is extremely precious to everyone.

For Song Fugui, this was an immense fortune, in addition to the resources that would aid his cultivation.

Song Fugui was naturally extremely happy.

This means that his future cultivation speed will not be slow.

The other members of the Futong Money Shop did not have such good resources.

This is a deal with a powerful dragon palace—a collaboration, you know. The sheer volume of future transactions is unimaginable.

Qin Hao then turned to the crowd, including the one with the Vajra Sword, and said, "Previously, you all followed me to Fuyu County."

After that, I need to establish my base here at Pengze Lake.

There are many things to handle. I wonder if any of you would be willing to join my Pengze Lake Dragon Palace?

Previously, it would have been a simple matter of following along to Buyeo County, leaving whenever one wanted.

But at this moment, Qin Hao was recruiting everyone.

Seeing that everyone hesitated, Qin Hao smiled and said, "You are just guest elders. You are all free to leave if you wish."

However, Vajra Sword decisively asked, "I wonder if I can join the Dragon Palace?"

join in?

That's no longer the case for a guest advisor.

Qin Hao naturally nodded. This Vajra Sword seemed to have good aptitude, and he was able to rank first on the human ranking at the age of thirty.

Although he was defeated by Jiechen, Jiechen was suspected to be the reincarnation of Vajra, which was no ordinary person.

Moreover, this Vajra Sword is a rogue cultivator, much like his grandfather Qin Zhenyuan.

Qin Hao readily agreed: "Sure, you can choose one of the four fundamental codes of the Dragon Palace. As for the others, you can freely browse the basic texts. But the others will require contribution points."

The Vajra Sword was overjoyed and immediately knelt down: "Greetings, Master."

Qin Hao did not refuse, but then smiled and said, "I don't need you to kneel all the time here. Go and meet with Lord Gui and tell him about this."

Even though Turtle Lord was right next to him, Qin Hao still said that.

The others also realized what was happening and most of them agreed to become guest advisors.

Qin Hao also directly promised: "Everyone's salary will definitely not be less. Each grade of spirit rice will be a thousand catties per month. Spirit liquid will also be a thousand catties. As for the others, we will discuss them with Turtle Lord later."

Although Pengze Lake is only 800 li long, the concentration of spiritual energy here is extremely high.

Accumulated over thousands of years, it is definitely not ordinary.

It wouldn't be an exaggeration to say that Qin Hao became rich overnight.

Even a fourth-level expert would be tempted.

Fortunately, with Turtle Thousand Years Old here, a fourth-realm expert, in the open, no one will dare to make a move easily.

Two other people immediately agreed to join, just like Vajra Sword.

Qin Hao naturally did not object.

Qin Hao glanced at one of them a little longer.

Gui Qiansui nodded and transmitted his voice, "My lord, I will keep a close eye on things."

Qin Hao nodded slightly, not that he considered the other party an enemy.

Most likely, it was related to the imperial court.

Just follow them; no need to do anything else.

He then discussed some arrangements for Pengze Lake, which Qin Hao then made the arrangements for.

"Alright, I've gained quite a bit today, so I need to go into seclusion now."

"If you have any issues, talk directly to Turtle Lord; he can represent me fully."

Qin Hao naturally had to go into seclusion. Last night, after obtaining the Longquan and Tai'a swords, he wanted to travel to the bottom of Pengze Lake.

I've endured until today, and dealt with so many things.

He only had free time now so as not to expose himself.

Although many people know the details, at least the Great Xia court is real.

The prefect of Qianheli County was clearly aware of the situation, so the Great Xia Dynasty behind him, namely Emperor Hengming, was probably also in the know.

But ordinary people wouldn't know.

Even Song Fugui, the heir to the Futong Money Shop, didn't know the details, let alone others.

Of course, the person in charge of Futong Bank probably knew about it.

After everyone left, Qin Hao arrived at his own palace, familiar with the place.

Within hundreds of miles of Pengze Lake, no one knew it better than him.

The same goes for Turtle Thousand Years Old, the powerful figure who oversaw the construction of the Dragon Palace.

Qin Hao did not meditate in seclusion because his strength had improved and his foundation was solid, so there was no instability at all.

He went directly to the cold jade bed and sat cross-legged.

This wasn't because he wanted to go into seclusion to cultivate, but rather because it was a means and channel to meet that innate dragon clan.

Over there, Song Fugui also spoke with Gui Qiansui and discussed some matters.

We'll discuss the specifics later.

Afterwards, Song Fugui went to his private room and began contacting his family.

At the headquarters of Futong Money Exchange, a chubby middle-aged man was carrying a gourd and taking sips from time to time.

In front of him was a desk.

There were many accounts on the table.

Looking at these accounts, the middle-aged man chuckled, occasionally taking a sip of good wine, his eyes filled with joy.

All of this signifies an increase in his wealth and allows him to progress in his spiritual practice more quickly.

"Thank you, God of Wealth."

Suddenly, he jumped up, feeling a burning sensation in his chest.

"What is that little brat doing?"

The middle-aged man grumbled and cursed, but still hurriedly and clumsily retrieved the bronze mirror.

His bronze mirror was of a much higher grade, reaching the peak of the treasure level.

But taking it a step further is also difficult.

"You brat, you better be in trouble..."

Song Fugui pouted: "That stinky old man..."

"What did you say?"

"I'm talking about Yuanbao..."

"You little punk, you're asking for it, aren't you? You dare call me by my first name? Looks like I'll have to call you back..."

The names of this father and son are quite amusing.

One is Song Yuanbao, and the other is Song Fugui.

They all mean the same thing.

Song Fugui was initially quite intimidated by his father, but now he was not intimidated at all. Instead, he smiled and said, "Dad, are you really going to call me back?"

This is not the right reaction.

Song Yuanbao was taken aback: "What are you trying to say?"

Song Fugui didn't hesitate and slowly said, "A dragon palace, how about it? Father, do you have any ideas about trading with a dragon palace?"

Dragon Palace?

Dragon palaces are numerous throughout the four seas.

Most of the territory belongs to the Dragon Palace.

In the Qianyang Realm, if we're talking about who's the richest, it's definitely the dragon clan with two horns on their heads!
Being rich and powerful is no joke.

The rivers, lakes, and even wells with water veins under its control may contain dragon palaces.

These dragon palaces must have been extremely wealthy.

Song Yuanbao was initially excited, but then said with suspicion, "There are quite a few dragon palaces in the world, but they all have fixed partners."

Even some of the Dragon Palace's partners included Futong Money Exchange.

Of course, royal families from various countries, and even demon and barbarian tribes, all trade with the dragon race.

The dragon race does not consider themselves demons; in fact, even the water demons under their command are renamed the Water Race.

Moreover, the dragon race is powerful and naturally has no fear of any side.

They get along well with all ethnic groups, do business with everyone, and never discriminate against anyone.

Of course, once on land, when the dragons enter the territories of other races, they will restrain themselves somewhat.

However, getting involved and forming a partnership with the Dragon Palace is not so easy.

Even for a bank like Fortis Bank, it's not something that can be done just like that.

Song Fugui laughed and said, "Then, regarding a new Dragon Palace, I wonder if Father's Futong Money House would be willing to cooperate with me?"

"what?"

Song Yuanbao exclaimed in surprise, stood up, and stared wide-eyed.

On the other side, Song Fugui smiled broadly, looking like Maitreya Buddha.
