After leaving the demonic dragon burial ground, Shen Xiang went to find Li Baojun and brought them outside the demonic dragon burial ground.
"Headmaster, are you sure there won’t be any problems if we enter the demonic dragon burial ground" Sect Master Dan Sanchang asked, as Shen Xiang said he was going to bring them in to take a look at the Golden Dragon Temple inside.
Blue Lan, who was far away, couldn’t help but grip Yan Yanyan’s hand tightly when she saw the terrifying giant black dragon. Yan Yanyan did the same, feeling its intimidating demonic aura and shivering with fear.
Even Li Baojun, a powerful cultivator, was affected by the giant dragon’s eyes and felt slightly nervous about going into such a terrifying place. They weren’t distrustful of Shen Xiang, but the demonic dragon burial ground was just too scary.
"Relax. Although I can’t completely control the power of the demonic dragon burial ground, bringing you safely inside is not a problem!" Shen Xiang laughed, petting Blue Lan’s somewhat frightened young face.
Thus, the four of them followed Shen Xiang nervously towards the demonic dragon burial ground. They had gathered up their courage to step into those dark rooms, but after stepping inside, they found that the thick demonic aura seemed like a door opening, revealing an empty and bright path. This made them feel much more at ease.
When they walked out of the pathway, they saw an impressive wall. Two giant black dragons were lying on the ground surrounding a city, their heads towering at over twenty meters high. They had wide mouths revealing sharp mountain-like teeth and four large eyes, blood-red in color, shining with an eerie light. It made people shudder from fear.
The door automatically opened, shocking Li Baojun and the others who could hardly speak. They stiffly moved their steps behind Shen Xiang towards the gate.
Blue Lan and Yan Yanyan covered their mouths in amazement when they saw the countless buildings inside, exclaiming audibly. Dan Sanchang even shouted out loud!
"Was this here all along or did you build it recently" Dan Sanchang was startled when he asked, thinking it unlikely that they could have built a city in such a short time. Although the city was large, most of it wasn’t for living purposes like training facilities and classrooms.
"Hehe, this was just built recently. I was also shocked when I first saw it!" Shen Xiang said, adding, "This is directly above the dragon vein. Under our feet lies a colossal dragon made of crystal because there are some friends below who aren’t very keen on new people. I’ll introduce you to them next time."
Dan Sanchang’s eyes widened in shock. "Could it be that the Iron Lion Divine Army is here"
The Iron Lion Divine Army Shen Xiang could easily guess that Dan Sanchang was talking about the Earth Heart Tribe. Ten Thousand Greats was once called a lion, and being referred to as such by the Earth Heart Tribe wasn’t surprising. It was indeed a very powerful name!
"I didn’t think they’d kept this legacy alive! If it’s them, then there’s no surprise!" Dan Sanchang clearly knew a lot about the Earth Heart Tribe.
Shen Xiang nodded. "They were cursed and can’t be exposed to sunlight!"
"Ah!" Dan Sanchang merely sighed and didn’t say much more.
Blue Lan curiously asked, "What’s the Iron Lion Divine Army"
"In ancient times, they were able to turn the Ten Thousand Greats’ army and main cities into iron-like divine armies, making them powerful enough to conquer the nine heavens and ten lands. They were the hidden main force during Ten Thousand Greats’ battles," Dan Sanchang said, his face filled with admiration. He had heard tales of them since he was young.
The center of the demonic dragon burial ground, where the Golden Dragon Temple was, shone bright under the sunlight, making it full of vigor and grandeur. It lacked only vitality, but eventually, all would be restored.
"With such a large area, only the few elders are here. We have to work hard for it to become lively," Yan Yanyan walked down the clean and flat stone road at a light pace. She was an elder of Golden Dragon Temple, so she had to make efforts to gain the respect that came with her position.
Everyone felt like this, making them determined to enhance themselves. Otherwise, they wouldn’t be worthy of being elders of Golden Dragon Temple!
“I’ll have them build a city near here, which will be called Dragon Slaying City. Then we can use Dragon Slaying Temple to recruit disciples, which will take a long time. We don’t need to rush for now! This place will eventually become the most prosperous in the nine heavens and ten lands!” The confidence in Shen Xiang’s voice was evident.
Outside the demonic dragon burial ground, Li Baojun and co. saw Shen Xiang controlling some dark smoke that spread over a large area, looking terrifying like an evil and decaying aura. They were scared by it despite knowing where it came from. "We have to make Dragon Slaying City lively before the Three Domain Talks, then participate in them and show our strength! Yan Yanyan and Blue Lan, you have to improve your cultivation quickly. Use any free time you have to investigate the Alliance of Medicine Sect’s power alliance, find out how much they dislike the Medicine Sect, and learn about the enemies of ancient powers. Investigate the important figures of the wind family…"
“Sanzang, if possible… contact your uncle and see if they have any interest in joining us!”
“Elder Li, try to recruit more high-quality alchemists. High standards are fine, I’ll have the people from Fragrant Medicine Peach Source contact you and exchange experiences on managing medicine businesses with you,” Shen Xiang said, looking towards the distance.
“I’ll return to Heavenly Martial Continent. Our people are too few!” Shen Xiang continued.
Then, the group went their separate ways while Shen Xiang went to the dragon vein again and told them about the area he had marked out, explaining their exact locations. He also opened up a path in the black mist inside the demonic dragon burial ground, leading them to where Dragon Slaying City would be established.
The Medicine City had gone through many大事 in the past, most related to Shen Xiang. The same could be said of Golden Dragon Medicine Pavilion.
The Alliance of Medicine Sect regained control over Medicine City’s business, stabilizing the profits. The price of medicines also increased in general, which was meant to compensate for their losses from the 10 trillion crystalstones. Medicine City was complaining continuously, but there wasn’t much they could do as most medicine shops joined forces to increase prices. Many small medicine shops didn’t want to increase, but they were forced to anyway by the Medicine Sect. This led to even worse business!
With the same high prices, small medicine shops couldn’t compete with powerful factions. Powerful factions rushed to recover their losses by forcing small medicine shops to raise prices, concentrating business in their hands.
Shen Xiang walked around Medicine City, hearing the complaints and was secretly pleased. This was his chance. If Dragon Slaying City were built, he’d have confidence in attracting many people and even making small factions that joined the Medicine Sect leave!
He used Medicine City’s teleportation array to reach Heavenly Martial Gate! Yun Xiaodao and co. were all good candidates, quickly improving their strength with Li Baojun’s medicines and some tough cultivation.
Most importantly, Shen Xiang trusted Yun Xiaodao and co. He was in a difficult situation where it was hard to find people he could trust, so he didn’t mind taking risks by trying to lure them away from their current positions. Xin Yue said, her cheeks flushed with excitement. She also wanted to see the dragon’s true form. Dragons were rare in the mortal world, and seeing one was even rarer.Liu Meng’er felt the same excitem...
