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

Chapter 134 Auction Items, Departure, Dragon Cleansing Ceremony
Qin Hao, on the other hand, was unaware of what had happened in the capital.

Even if they knew, they wouldn't care.

Because of his rise to power, the Qin family will receive some preferential treatment.

The cooperation with Fortis Bank was also quite reasonable.

In this world, it's difficult to offer help when someone is in need, but everyone is willing to do things that add to someone's happiness.

Some people might be envious, but when they're face to face, they're all smiling.

Qin Hao recalled a saying that went something like this: When you are powerful, you will only be surrounded by smiling faces.

The collaboration between Futong Money Exchange and Baizhenlou naturally brought great benefits to Baizhenlou.

Futong Money Exchange doesn't simply offer discounts; it also makes its due profits.

This is a win-win situation.

Taking a break, Qin Hao shifted time and space, his true spirit becoming Chen Yang, and summoned Isadora.

"Pavilion Master."

Isadora was also puzzled, wondering why the Pavilion Master had suddenly summoned her over.

Polo from Guangqiong Trading Company just finished delivering the gift. He doesn't know what the Pavilion Master is up to.

Qin Hao nodded: "I called you over because I have something for you to do. I have some good things here. Take them to the Cosmic Galaxy Bank. I remember the Cosmic Galaxy Bank's three-star auction is about to start. Send these things over to be auctioned off."

Items for auction?

Isadora wasn't new to the universe; she knew a lot about what was happening there.

She was certainly aware of the three-star auction held by the Cosmic Galaxy Bank.

Ordinary people are not qualified to participate at all.

Only those with a three-star account from the Cosmic Galaxy Bank are eligible to participate.

It takes at least ten Mixed Yuan Units of wealth to advance to the three-star level. Generally, only those above the Realm Lord level can become three-star users.

The Pavilion Master is only at the Stellar level. Even if he has a good master, the Illusionary Butterfly King, who is at the King-level Immortal realm.

The other party might bestow some gifts, but they wouldn't be rich enough to sell them.

If the Butterfly King knew, he would be unhappy.

"Sect Master, what is this?"

Qin Hao, unaware of Isadora's concerns, simply nodded and said, "Inside are some potions and pills I've refined. Some to aid cultivation, some to aid breakthroughs, and some to prolong life."

The potions were refined by Qin Hao, especially the longevity potion, which was made from the precious sap of the Great Toon Tree.

This stuff is appearing in the Swallowed Star world for the first time. Since there's no drug resistance, it's sure to fetch a high price.

Even for a realm lord, a lifespan of one thousand epochs is equivalent to tens of millions of years.

It also has an end.

The life-extending potion that Qin Hao concocted only increased lifespan by a small amount per dose, amounting to no more than fifty years per dose.

However, this substance has very low drug resistance and can be taken repeatedly.

Qin Hao estimated that he could take ten doses for the time being, which would give him a lifespan of five hundred years.

That's not a small amount either.

Of course, compared to the lifespan of a realm lord spanning tens of millions of years, it may seem insignificant.

But for those below the level of a realm lord, it is quite considerable.

Even world lords need time to become powerful.

Not everyone can face their final moments with the same equanimity as Luo, the Lord of Time.

Besides, when the Time Realm Lord Luo's time is running out, with only a few years left, do you think he won't get anxious?
If all the life-extending potions are used up, then there is no hope.

The sudden appearance of a new life-extending potion at this time naturally caused a frenzy among the crowd.

Qin Hao intends to focus on this potion in the future.

Once the giant toon tree has grown, the quality of this precious liquid will also improve.

The effects of life-extending potions will also be enhanced, making them naturally more precious.

It can be said that with just this one medicine, Qin Hao will be able to make a name for himself in the future.

Who doesn't have relatives or descendants?

Even the most venerable ones have beloved juniors and are willing to spend money to promote their confidants.

What a venerable person might casually part with is an extraordinary fortune for the common people.

"In addition, there are some weapons and equipment, all of which are very good, including cosmic-level and domain lord-level equipment."

The treasures that Qin Hao took out were naturally magical artifacts from the treasure vault of the Dragon Palace in Pengze Lake.

The quality is quite good; in the world of Swallowed Star, it would be used at the cosmic and domain lord levels.

Among weapons of the same quality, they are all top-tier.

Some of them would even be considered quite good at the realm lord level.

The accounts participating in the auction are at the realm master level.

However, it is not the Realm Lord himself, and what they are auctioning may not be the weapons and equipment used by the Realm Lord himself.

The realm lord's family, subordinates, and others all need to use it.

So going up for auction won't be a problem.

Isadora was relieved, put it away, and nodded as she left.

As for the cooperation with Guangqiong Trading Company, Qin Hao didn't interfere; Isadora could handle it herself.

After Qin Hao came over and explained something, he returned to Qianyang Realm.

What Qin Hao didn't know was that at this time, in the Black Dragon Mountain Universe Kingdom...

Sanfushan.

Luo, the Lord of Time, looked at his communicator and the emails inside, and hesitated.

"Luo, what's wrong?"

Lemonto was somewhat curious, as he, as the founder of Three Axes Mountain, had a very good relationship with Lo.

However, he and another founder, Morleya, have now both advanced to the level of Immortal Army Lord.

But his old friend Luo was stuck at the peak of the Realm Lord realm, unable to make any further progress.

This is truly heartbreaking.

This also reflects Luo Xin's ambition; back then, he wanted to achieve everything in one go, comprehending the laws in one go during the realm lord period when it was easiest to understand them.

This is overcoming difficulties on the path to enlightenment.

Unfortunately, what was supposed to be overcoming difficulties has now instead trapped them.

Originally, Luo was the most talented among them.

They should have been the most promising.

They may never reach the level of Immortal Military Lord in their entire lives.

There's no hope of reaching the Venerable level.

Originally, Luo was the most promising candidate.

If Luo can advance to the Venerable level, then Three Axe Mountain might even be able to create a cosmic kingdom.

That's naturally not comparable.

Pity……

Luo hesitated for a moment, looking at the email with a complicated expression.

With only 20,000 years left to live, Luo had given up hope.

There's no hope of advancing beyond the comprehension of the rules.

Furthermore, the core of a realm lord is extremely difficult to break.

"What's wrong?" Lemonto asked again.

Lo showed the email to Lemonte, indicating that he should read it himself.

"See for yourself."

Lemonto was taken aback when he saw it.

"this?"

Luo asked, "How likely do you think it is?"

When Lemont heard his good friend say this, he knew that his friend had not completely given up hope.

Perhaps they had already accepted this despair.

But now, he seems to have some other ideas?

Yes, with hope, things naturally change.

Lemonto thought for a moment and said, "I've heard of this Heavenly Craft Pavilion. It's said to be a very good organization, and it's been making quite a splash lately. The cultivation aids they sell, as well as their weapons and equipment, are all excellent."

He paused for a moment, as if he was thinking.

Isadora wrote a lot of information in the email.

Many of these promises rekindled hope in Luo's heart, which had been filled with despair.

He doesn't believe everything someone says.

He did know a bit about some of the higher-ups in this circle.

"How credible is it that the Heavenly Crafts Pavilion Master's master is the Illusionary Butterfly King?"

Regardless of whether the master of the Heavenly Craft Pavilion is immortal or not.

Of the three founders of Sanfu Mountain, two are immortal.

Definitely.

If the other party dares to deceive me, aren't I afraid of the retaliation from a peak Realm Lord and two Immortal Military Lords?
Leimonto said, "I have heard of that. After all, the Illusionary Butterfly King of the Hundred Flowers Secret Realm is quite a figure in the Qianwu Universe Kingdom."

Even the ruler of the Qianwu Kingdom held him in high esteem.

She is the one who taught the Venerable One to become an immortal king.

I had heard before that she did indeed have a personal disciple.

Luo asked curiously, "Really? But how come there's been no news about such a prominent figure's personal disciple?"

Generally speaking, when such an important person takes on a disciple, they will probably hold a formal apprenticeship banquet.

It wasn't about the food and drinks, nor was it about the small gift.

Rather, it's to introduce them to people at the same level, or even people at a higher level.

In the future, when disciples are away from home and encounter problems, they will have someone to turn to for help.

Or perhaps something happened outside, and you encountered someone, so it wouldn't be a case of the flood washing away the Dragon King's temple.

But this silence is rather strange.

Lemont shook his head slightly: "I don't know either. As you know, Moria and I have reached the end of our rope, and we have no motivation to rise any higher."

To be honest, for us, living here is practically like retiring.

The disciples of Lord Illusionary Butterfly King are all geniuses, and their hopes for improvement are immense.

They are all working hard outside, and many of them are fighting on battlefields outside the region.

It's impossible for someone to run back from the outer battlefield just for a disciple at the stellar level.

Yes, everyone is working hard.

Is he, the Lord of Time, going to fall here?

Are the things mentioned here true or false?

"You're tempted?" Lemonto asked.

Luo nodded: "Yes, we had already accepted our fate."

But this unexpected email rekindled my hope.

Luo smiled bitterly.

Lemonto, however, understood.

Luo was ambitious back then, but now his ambitions remain unfulfilled, and all hope seems to have vanished.

But what about the email that was suddenly sent by the other party?

"Do you think there's really any hope?"

"I don't know, but I don't think the other party would be so presumptuous just for the sake of a World Lord's combat strength. Even if he is the disciple of the King of Invincible, he shouldn't act like this."

Lemonto's words rekindled Lo's hope.

Judging from Lo's reaction, Lemonto understood that Lo was interested.

"Would you like me to come with you?"

Although Tiangong Pavilion intended to recruit Luo, it wasn't eager to do so. It set conditions and let Luo consider them himself.

If Luo doesn't agree, the Heavenly Craft Pavilion won't rush to help.

However, the conditions offered by the Heavenly Craft Pavilion were indeed quite good, taking into account every aspect, including lifespan, resources, offerings, and weapons.

Although this thing may not mean much to the realm lord.

But the fact that a kid of stellar level could have such courage still shocked and impressed Luo greatly.

Furthermore, the promise of an opportunity to comprehend the laws alone is something Luo could not refuse, nor could it be given by any other star-level figure.

Monletto looked at Lo and hesitated for a moment.

He had actually heard that the higher echelons of human races had a system for cultivating geniuses.

Their abilities do not reach the level of geniuses.

Or rather, it doesn't reach the level of being wholeheartedly nurtured by human groups.

"No need, I'll go check it out myself. They can't possibly threaten me, can they?"

There's not much to say about Luo.

It's not dangerous.

A mere stellar-level youth poses no danger to a realm lord.

Even if Luo remains motionless, even a stellar-level being would likely be unable to defeat him.

It would be difficult to break through their defenses.

"No, I have to leave now."

Black Dragon Mountain is quite a distance from the Qianwu Universe Kingdom, and Luo was genuinely worried. His expression was like that of a fish eyeing bait, eager to bite.

After distributing some magical treasures, Qin Hao also distributed a considerable number of talismans and pills to everyone.

Some are used for daily practice, while others are used for fighting enemies.

Among them, some gene-based drugs are his main products.

This thing is self-configured and can be provided to cultivators in the second realm to meet their daily needs.

Good quality and low price.

Others, however, were unaware of the cost-effectiveness of the gene serums produced in this world of Swallowing the Stars.

In the Qianyang Realm, such aids to cultivation are quite expensive.

Most of the wealth is in the hands of a few.

Nobles, high-ranking officials, major banks, and the upper class controlled the vast majority of wealth, while those at the bottom desired wealth and opportunities for upward mobility.

Most of them are also dependent on what has been said above.

There are very few people like Qin Zhenyuan who have worked hard and struggled on their own to achieve success.

Some might say that Qin Zhenyuan also relied on the Wuling Marquis's mansion, and that he rose to power by marrying the family's daughter.

This is true.

If Qin Zhenyuan hadn't married this woman, his path to being granted a noble title would have been fraught with difficulties.

Fortunately, both parties were in love, and they managed to have a good outcome.

Those who followed Qin Hao were even happier to receive these things.

After leaving in at least a few days, there will be enough resources available for spiritual practice along the way.

Wealth, companionship, law, and location—the advantages of wealth are only just beginning to emerge.

Ten days later, it was time for them to set off.

Qin Hao and his group arrived at Pengze Lake and went ashore.

Most of those who follow Qin Hao choose to travel with him.

Apart from a few people who stayed behind to make arrangements for Pengze Lake.

The establishment of the spirit field and the subsequent planting of spirit plants both require someone to manage them.

There always needs to be someone to help with certain things.

"Brother Qin, everyone's here," Song Fugui said with a smile.

He has good intelligence capabilities and is also good at speaking, so he is responsible for overall coordination.

Besides them, there were also some people from Song Fugui's group around them.

Among these people, some were responsible for construction.

Upon arriving in Fuyu County, we need to establish a branch of the Six Doors, which requires manpower.

The monks were far more capable of building than ordinary laborers.

The productivity of cultivators is incomparable to that of ordinary people.

Even if the concentration of spiritual energy in this world is high, ordinary people are still in better physical condition.

But it is still far inferior to that of a cultivator.

Qin Hao nodded: "Now that we're here, let's go."

Qin Hao reached out, and the Star-Guiding Boat appeared.

Another exclamation.

Song Fugui was also taken aback: "This?"

They had never seen this Star-Guiding Boat before; this was the first time they had seen it.

However, Song Fugui saw through the quality of this Star-Guiding Boat treasure at a glance.

"Does the Dragon Palace's treasury contain items of this quality?"

It's important to understand that the treasure boat is different from other magical artifacts.

Just look at the 21 star-guiding cannons on each side above, and you'll understand.

This thing is far more valuable than ordinary magical artifacts.

The price of this Star-Guiding Boat is comparable to that of thousands of treasure-level spirit swords.

This is why Song Fugui was amazed.

This is similar to how the treasures within the domains and palaces of the Swallowed Star world are more valuable than other treasures.

The group boarded the Star Guide Boat one after another. Qin Hao circulated his true energy, and the Star Guide Boat slowly floated up.

It appears slow but is actually fast.

You can't even see the exhaust fumes.

At this time, the Prefectural Governor's Office of Yuzhang Commandery.

Qian Heli watched the departing Star Guide Ship and shook her head.

Beside him stood a middle-aged monk, holding a feather fan, who gave the impression of a wise strategist.

At this moment, his eyes were also fixed on the departing Star Guide Ship, his gaze filled with envy and hope.

"Sir, are we just going to give up like this?"

Qian He has stayed here for many years, for two reasons.

First, there are the two spirit swords that Qin Hao took away.

Ordinary people don't know, but some observant people do.

The great fame of Tai'a and Longquan is still vaguely recorded in some books.

It took Qianhe years of investigation to find out that this place was here.

He took the prefect's job voluntarily and has stayed here for many years.

But someone else beat them to it.

Qian Heli's second goal was actually the Pengze Lake Dragon Palace.

Or rather, it was for the dragon race that took form from that innate dragon vein.

However, Qin Hao beat him to this goal.

Even Qian Heli herself didn't believe she was willing to accept it.

What can be done but futile?

"Then what can you do? That old dragon is not someone to be trifled with."

They dared not approach the Dragon Palace of Pengze Lake at all.

Ao Hui's spirituality is extraordinary.

Ao Hui would immediately sense if someone with ill intentions approached.

They couldn't even imagine the power of a primordial dragon that was infinitely close to the realm of immortals.

Qian Heli shook her head: "I can't imagine the depth of Pengze Lake Dragon Palace."

That airship is no ordinary vessel.

On the airship, Qin Hao knew that his trip was attracting a lot of attention.

But he didn't care either.

Whether it was taking over the Dragon Palace of Pengze Lake or establishing the Six Doors in Fuyu County.

Neither of these is an easy situation to handle.

However, Qin Hao turned around and looked at the honest-looking middle-aged man following closely behind him.

He wasn't worried at all.

This is what General Crab looks like after he transforms into human form.

He has already reached the fourth realm, and his human form is quite complete.

His presence may not be immediately apparent, but it is actually extremely powerful.

With him protecting me, I doubt anyone would dare to make a move.

At least there are no security issues.

Qin Hao has a bright future ahead of him, so he doesn't feel awkward about being controlled by others.

She insisted on escaping by hiding from the guards, just like that young lady from a wealthy family.

There were so many eyes to see along the way.

Qin Hao ignored them. The Star-Guiding Ship was fast, and it flew towards Fuyu County at the speed of a treasure-level flying ship.

Song Fugui stepped forward, holding a Da Xia Tongbao coin in his hand.

Qin Hao raised an eyebrow, knowing that there was new information about Song Fugui.

Sure enough, Song Fugui approached and whispered, "A lot of people have been watching us along the way."

Qin Hao nodded: "That's right. Although Fuyu County is nominally under the jurisdiction of Great Xia, it is a place where several countries border each other. It is also where the demon race, the barbarian race, and the human race meet. Not to mention, there are also the mountain people in the Hundred Thousand Mountains, who are not easy to mess with."

The situation in this place was already set in stone, but the Great Xia Dynasty insisted on establishing the Six Doors here to create a new order.

All local and surrounding forces do not want to see this.

In other words, their line of work is a thorn in someone's side.

I can't wait to get rid of it.

Qin Hao had expected this, so it wasn't surprising.

He was aware of the dangers of this trip.

I wasn't afraid before, and I'm even less afraid now.

There are also cultivators at the fourth realm among the local forces.

However, there are differences between the fourth realms.

General Crab is a master of the second level of the fourth realm, possessing the primordial spirit.

Moreover, the primordial spirit in the second stage has been refined over hundreds of years.

General Crab could strip away all Yin energy and advance to the Yang God realm at any time.

That is the supreme being of the third level of the fourth realm, who is only one tribulation away from ascending to immortality.

Even within Fuyu County, there are experts at the fourth realm.

It's estimated that most of them are no match for General Crab.

Moreover, even the opponent's fourth realm cultivator wouldn't dare to make a move.

Otherwise, do you really think Qin Hao wouldn't dare let General Crab attack the other side?

Rat-proof device.

Most of Qin Hao's family members live in Shen Du or are in the military.

The enemy's stronghold is much easier to find.

Leaving that topic aside, Song Fugui talked about some things related to Fuyu County.

Song Fugui suddenly said, "By the way, do you remember that spirit stone mine in Fuyu County?"

Qin Hao nodded, wondering why he had brought this up again.

"News has come that this is a rich mine. Or rather, a giant mine, which can be mined for at least a thousand years, yielding at least ten million high-grade spirit stones every year. This doesn't even include top-grade spirit stones, as well as some associated minerals."

In spirit stone veins, there are often some precious metal veins.

There are many of them, and they can only be found in spirit stone veins.

Many metal ores are even ores needed to refine Dao artifacts.

Qin Hao was also greatly surprised. Tens of millions of high-grade spirit stones every year?
This is no ordinary matter.

Moreover, even after thousands of years of digging, this giant mine could not be completely excavated.

It will only downgrade this giant mine to a large vein.

If a powerful geomancer were to nurture the earth's veins using geomantic techniques, supplemented by some formations, this process could even be extended to thousands of years or even forever.

"It looks like a storm is brewing."

This giant mine is located right at this border, and no matter whether it's the demon race, the barbarian race, the mountain people, the Dragon Palace, the Great Xia, or even the southern countries, they will not give it up.

This is the eye of the storm.

His goal of establishing a branch of the Six Doors here has increased the difficulty.

They may even be targeted by many forces.

Song Fugui added, "In addition, news has also come from the Dragon Palace at Luoxing Lake in Fuyu County."

In the Dragon Washing Pool of the Dragon Palace, a batch of dragon eggs are about to hatch.

The Dragon Palace held a dragon-washing ceremony.

Dragons are also a superior race, and in their view, they are far superior to humans.

Dragons are mythical beasts.

However, dragons have one problem: their gestation period is too long.

The time span from the onset of pregnancy to the birth of the baby was too long.

Although the dragons later changed their method of reproduction, they laid dragon eggs after a period of gestation.

Then, they are handed over to the clan for unified incubation.

And this place is called the Dragon Washing Pool.

It is unknown how many resources will be consumed.

Dragons are conscious even when they are still in their eggs.

At this point, the education of future generations has already begun.

Even more so, dragons possess bloodline memories and lineages.

Therefore, every dragon is precious.

When the time comes for them to hatch, the dragon race will open the Dragon Cleansing Pool to take the newly born dragons out.

This is a grand gathering of the dragon race.

Not just anyone can participate.

"Oh? Then I'll have to go and see. After all, my grandmother came from the Dragon Palace of Falling Star Lake."
