Chapter 58: Dragon Clan Status Exceeds Expectations; Tokens Used to Enter and Exit the Yaofang
Fang Longye took the conch from Qingshe's hand and discovered it was a Dharma Artifact for sound transmission.
He immediately understood its use and put it away.
He led the three women into the Treasure Pavilion.
Viewed from the outside, the pavilion was small.
But once inside, it was a vast Grotto-Heaven.
A expanse of rippling green waves, where water and sky merged into one, with clear, misty clouds.
In the center, a palace complex sat upon the water, with dozens of grand halls, their roofs covered in glazed jade tiles, surrounded by endless lotus leaves.
"Pot Heaven~"
Fang Longye muttered to himself upon seeing the scene inside.
He also knew this divine ability, but even having reached the Yuan Immortal realm, he could only open up a Mustard Space.
A method like this, containing the fleeting in a mustard seed and hiding the sun and moon within a pot—even with the divine ability in hand, he could not perform it.
Furthermore, this Yuyang Yaofang was already a Grotto-Heaven opened up by Yuyang Yaowang.
"Is this what is truly meant by 'heavens beyond heavens, buildings beyond buildings'?" Fang Longye chuckled.
Clouds and mist formed beneath his feet, carrying the three women to the platform of the palace in the center of the water.
"Young Master, let me open the door~" Qingshe stepped forward and pushed open the palace doors.
Lotus lamps flickered, and everything was resplendent in gold and jade.
Eight-jewel echoes resonated, and jade ornaments chimed.
Clouds and mist unfurled, golden light burst forth, and from top to bottom, it rang out like the cry of a dragon.
"What a magnificent atmosphere~" Fang Longye praised loudly, then stepped into the palace.
In an instant, the entire layout of the palace was naturally projected into his mind.
He understood it all.
He let the three women go to make the beds and tidy up everything.
Fang Longye paced into a study, seeing a bright window open, through which all sorts of beautiful scenery slowly entered his eyes.
Before the window was a jade desk, and on the desk was a vase with many flower arrangements, branches and twigs intertwined; in the corner was a green tripod, from which incense smoke emerged, condensing without dispersing.
Not a speck of dust, with empty waves entering within.
He did not sit by the jade desk, but turned and passed through the study, arriving at a hall connected to it.
He saw that this hall was empty and dim all around.
There were only circles and halos of light, gathering and dispersing in an instant, like the galaxy in the sky, changing at every moment.
Through his primordial spirit's perception, faint sounds came, as if whispering incessantly in his ears.
This was the key to this Treasure Pavilion. It gave every Dragon Prince who stayed here a chance to understand the situation of the world and broaden their knowledge.
The halos revolving slowly like brilliant stars all around each represented a piece of information.
Fang Longye sat cross-legged on the ground, manifesting his auspicious clouds and clear light, sensing the points of light.
A long time passed.
He opened his eyes, lost in thought.
If this information was true and not adulterated.
In his view, the current Dragon Clan was truly extraordinary in the Honghuang.
In terms of strength, they had Zhu Long, Azure Dragon, and Yinglong—at least three big shots backing them.
In terms of nobility, the world was full of Dragon Kings and Dragon Lords, each one calling themselves solitary and widowed, and still recognized by the Heavenly Court.
In terms of connections, no race in the entire Honghuang could compare to the Dragon Clan. The Human Race? If the First Emperor's war against heaven hadn't happened, the Human Race would indeed have been superior. What a pity~ As for the famous dish of dragon liver and phoenix marrow, it was not worth mentioning for the entire race.
This world was just that cruel; for the bottom of any race, there were no winners to speak of.
Some kept the Dragon Clan in captivity, skinning them and pulling their bones to make fried fish; some herded the Qilin, using collars and horseshoes to make them mounts; some farmed the Phoenix, bleeding them and plucking their feathers for stewing.
Don't think the Human Race had it any better. What the great demons loved most was to open up a great world, raise and brainwash the Human Race, and let them line up to willingly jump into the pot to be consumed.
The Daoist and Buddhist sects loved opening up Grotto-Heaven Buddhist kingdoms, "civilizing" the Human Race, and taking Incense Vow Power that was inexhaustible.
The Witch Clan wept that only one in a hundred of them remained, and the Demon Clan felt aggrieved that they were being slaughtered by the Daoists and Buddhists.
Every family had its own difficult scriptures to recite, and everyone had a lifetime of bitter tears. Every side had big shots holding the line, so why were they all living more and more miserably?
For the bottom of any race, it could be called a daily tour of a miserable world.
Therefore, compared to the bottom of the Human Race, the Dragon Clan was really much better off. Fang Longye thought to himself.
Stretching, Fang Longye walked out of the hall and came to the side chamber, seeing the three women curiously looking around.
Seeing Fang Longye come over, the three of them consciously poured tea and water for him.
After sitting down, Hu Qiuyue's eyes rippled as she smiled: "It is only by basking in the Young Master's light that this servant has the good fortune to reach the upper levels of Yuyang Mountain."
"Enough, don't say any more of such flattery." Fang Longye waved his hand.
"I previously always knew the Dragon Clan had quite a bit of power. But I didn't expect the Dragon Clan to be this noble. It seems that with the Young Master's current Bloodline, you can get by anywhere?" Qingshe said happily.
"With the Young Master's current strength, occupying a True Immortal Cave Abode is easy as lifting a hand. With this connection to the Dragon Clan, wouldn't it be easy to truly establish a foundation in Beiju Luzhou?" Caidie also said excitedly.
Fang Longye took a sip of tea, reached out and tapped the teacup, and a clear sound rang out, deep and crisp, startling the two of them out of their joyful mood.
"I say, how did you two become so naive! You believe whatever that old turtle says? If he hadn't seen that I am so noble, and that I have you, Qingli, a True Immortal, serving me, would he be this respectful?"
Fang Longye said irritably.
Although the old turtle spoke the truth, if he had only appeared as a down-and-out wild dragon, would he still be this attentive, acting like a loyal servant?
I'm afraid he would have long since worn the face of an expert looking down on a junior.
Hearing this, Qingshe and Caidie regained their composure, feeling that it was indeed so.
It was mainly because they had been too shocked today, and for a moment, they had overlooked this problem.
"Alright! If you rely on a mountain, it will collapse; if you rely on water, it will flow away. Relying on a backer is naturally important, but what is even more important is to strive to improve yourself under that backer."
"Hu Qiuyue, I am giving you a task. Haven't you been hanging around this Yuyang Xianfang for ten or twenty years? Go now and contact those people you are familiar with for me. It will be good for gathering information in the future~"
Snakes have snake paths, and rats have rat paths.
These Scattered Immortal-level demon immortals have their own unique uses when it comes to gathering information.
"Very well, Young Master. I ask that you bestow upon me some money and a token."
"What token?"
"Young Master, this was sent over by the manager of the Yaofang while you were meditating in the library earlier. Please take a look."
Seeing this, Qingshe glared fiercely at Hu Qiuyue, then revealed a smiling face and presented a token before him.
Fang Longye took the Qingyu Token and found it slightly cool to the touch.
He probed his primordial spirit into it and refined it in an instant.
He immediately understood that this was the credential for entering and exiting the Yuyang Yaofang and traversing up and down this Yuyang Mountain.
With a thought, the Qingyu Token shimmered with light, and a smaller token split off from it, which he tossed to Hu Qiuyue.
Watching her look as happy as if she had stolen a roasted chicken, he asked curiously, "How did you enter and exit the Yuyang Yaofang before?"
Hu Qiuyue carefully hid the token and replied, "For a Scattered Immortal like this servant, Incense Dharma Money must be paid to enter and exit the Yuyang Yaofang."
"How black-hearted! Isn't this just an entry tax?" Fang Longye sighed with emotion.
"That's not even the half of it! Previously, every five days I stayed in the Yuyang Yaofang, I had to pay an additional piece of Incense Dharma Money!"
She patted her Qiankun Bag and said with satisfaction, "Now that I have received the Young Master's favor and have this subsidiary token of yours, all such expenses from before are waived!"
"By the way, Young Master, what about the money? It really isn't that this servant is greedy. If you want the horse to run, you have to let it eat grass! Those old acquaintances of mine are all people who won't release the hawk until they see the rabbit~" She came back to her senses and looked at Fang Longye with burning eyes.
"Rest assured, even an emperor doesn't send hungry soldiers to battle!" Fang Longye rolled his eyes and said.
