Chapter 1122: Blood Jade Coral (First update, requesting everything)

So poor!

Seeing the treasures in Dimaliya's collection, this thought could not help but surface in Li Zhangsheng's mind.

Judging from Dimaliya's expression, gaze, heartbeat, and blood flow rate, Li Zhangsheng could be certain that Dimaliya was not lying; these messy treasures before him were Dimaliya's entire collection.

Among these treasures, only one item called Blood Jade Coral reached the Heaven and Earth Rare Treasure grade, and the key point was that this was merely a material.

Blood Jade Coral: Heaven and Earth Rare Treasure, can be used in medicine, and can also be used as a material for artifact refining.

Li Zhangsheng could not help but sigh; Dimaliya might be the poorest Demon Saint-level Spirit Beast.

"Ever since I was defeated by His Highness Baxia last time, my thousands of years of collection were taken away. What you see here is all that I have collected over these past few years."

Dimaliya offered an explanation, unable to stop lamenting in its heart, feeling that Li Zhangsheng would take all of these treasures away.

"I will take this Blood Jade Coral; the rest remains yours."

For Li Zhangsheng, the other treasures were truly of no use to him; it was better to return them to Dimaliya, which could also allow it to better do things for him.

Ever since learning that the juvenile Baxia might return to Golden Turtle Island, Li Zhangsheng had to temporarily change his mind, deciding to release Dimaliya and the two Demon King-level turtle Spirit Beasts back into the sea, with the instruction to report immediately as soon as there was news of the juvenile Baxia returning to Golden Turtle Island.

Of course, corresponding measures and rewards were still in place.

Although he could not form a contract with Dimaliya, the two Demon King-level turtle Spirit Beasts were a different matter.

Perhaps because they had lived for too long, these two Demon King-level turtle Spirit Beasts were not arrogant; on the contrary, they were rather afraid of death and did not resist to the death just because Li Zhangsheng wanted to contract them.

After completing the Temporary Contract, it would be difficult for them to break free from the contract's constraints unless they advanced to the Demon Saint level.

These two Demon King-level turtle Spirit Beasts were mainly used to monitor Dimaliya.

Logically speaking, Li Zhangsheng could also take Dimaliya away and let the two Demon King-level turtle Spirit Beasts command Golden Turtle Island.

But if he did that, there would be three drawbacks.

First, if the juvenile Baxia returned, it might become suspicious and leave immediately.

Second, the Hu Kingdom would develop Golden Turtle Island and the nearby sea area.

Third, without Dimaliya's deterrence, the Great Overlords of the nearby sea area might invade Dimaliya's territory.

What Li Zhangsheng needed to do was to keep Golden Turtle Island and the nearby sea area in their original state as much as possible; only then would it best serve his interests.

A wild juvenile Baxia—let alone Li Zhangsheng, even the Three Sovereigns and Six Emperors would be extremely covetous, because they often only had one or two Divine Beasts in their hands, and some did not even have any Divine Beasts.

After returning to Golden Turtle Island, Li Zhangsheng took the Superior Quality Mountain-Bearing Turtle and a group of Superior Quality turtle Spirit Beasts into his Secret Realm, placing them in the saltwater lake within the Secret Realm to survive.

Li Zhangsheng's Secret Realm now had two lakes, one saltwater and one freshwater, to ensure the survival of aquatic Spirit Beasts.

Not long after, Li Zhangsheng rode Aixi and left Golden Turtle Island.

Before leaving the Hu Kingdom, Li Zhangsheng specifically discussed it with the Butterfly King; he concealed the news of the juvenile Baxia, only saying that he had already subdued Dimaliya and hoped the Butterfly King would temporarily leave Golden Turtle Island to Dimaliya to live on.

As the price, Li Zhangsheng paid three jars of Zhu Yan Spirit Essence.

The Zhu Yan has a body like an ape, a white head, and red feet; legend has it that once this Divine Beast appears, war will break out in the world.

It must be said that there are truly many types of monkey-like Divine Beasts; besides the Chaos Four Monkeys, there are also Wuzhiqi, Ju Fu, Zhu Yan, Hanuman, and others.

In less than ten minutes, Li Zhangsheng arrived at the Hurricane Fortress of the Dai Kingdom and met the Bitter King, Zhao Yuanqing.

Zhao Yuanqing was still in that state of being on the verge of death, with white hair and beard, his face covered in wrinkles, giving one the impression of being frail and trembling.

Upon seeing Li Zhangsheng, Zhao Yuanqing could not help but ask: "I heard that His Majesty has banished Aberuisike to another world?"

With Li Zhangsheng's permission, this matter had already spread throughout the entire southeastern region; presumably, in a few days, other regions would also learn of this.

"Indeed. The Bitter King need not worry; when Aberuisike returns, how could it possibly be a match for this seat?"

Li Zhangsheng naturally guessed Zhao Yuanqing's intention; Zhao Yuanqing felt that if Aberuisike returned from the other world, it would surely stir up a bloody storm, and the Dai Kingdom would inevitably become a target.

Li Zhangsheng was not worried at all, because Aberuisike was already dead beyond any doubt, and even its corpse had changed its appearance.

"With those words from His Majesty, this old man can rest easy."

Thinking of Li Zhangsheng's rate of progress, Zhao Yuanqing could not help but set aside his worried heart, paused, and continued: "Recently, this old man has always had a premonition that my remaining lifespan will end in two months. I ask His Majesty to designate a successor as soon as possible, so as to avoid huge losses for the Dai Kingdom when there is no King to preside over it."

Zhao Yuanqing appeared very open-minded and did not feel fear toward death; what he had was only concern for the Dai Kingdom and his descendants.

"Bitter King, this seat has come precisely for this matter."

Zhao Yuanqing asked subconsciously: "Oh, I wonder which King is coming to take over?"

"None. This seat hopes that the Bitter King can continue to preside over the Dai Kingdom."

"But this old man only has two months of lifespan left."

"Lifespan is not something that cannot be increased."

"His Majesty means..." Zhao Yuanqing seemed to have thought of something and could not help but become excited; he was not very afraid of death, but being able to continue living was, after all, a good thing.

"This is the 'Profound Turtle Still-Fetus Wonderful Transformation Art'. I have already prepared the corresponding items for you. Once you have thoroughly comprehended it, this seat will personally protect you."

After finishing speaking, Li Zhangsheng handed an Inheritance Jade Slip to the excited-looking Zhao Yuanqing.

"Many thanks for His Majesty's generous gift, Yuanqing is deeply grateful!"

Zhao Yuanqing excitedly took the Jade Slip and performed a deep bow to Li Zhangsheng to express his inner gratitude.

Li Zhangsheng nodded in acknowledgment, preparing to stay here for a few days.

The method of the 'Profound Turtle Still-Fetus Wonderful Transformation Art' was not obscure or difficult to understand; the difficulty lay in finding a Spirit Beast with the Profound Turtle Bloodline and Rebirth Grass. With Zhao Yuanqing's knowledge, he would be able to thoroughly comprehend it in a few days.

In the Secret Realm, Li Zhangsheng began to meditate; the 'Universe Starry Sky Demon-Taming Art' was about to be comprehended to the sixth level, and he planned to make a concerted effort in these few days to complete it as soon as possible.

By then, as long as he comprehended the seventh level, Li Zhangsheng and Ning Bizhen could practice it; he believed that their cultivation speed and strength could reach a higher level.

As for how to take the Imitation Demon Refining Pot a step further, Li Zhangsheng had encountered a few difficulties; if these difficulties were not resolved, it would nine times out of ten lead to failure, and he might even lose two Imitation Demon Refining Pots.

Li Zhangsheng believed that with his own learning, as long as he had enough time, he would definitely be able to overcome these difficulties.

Besides these, Li Zhangsheng also had to check on the Holy Tree and the Blue Light Tripod from time to time; whether it was the Holy Tree's soon-to-ripen fruit or the Water Profound Meaning Origin Crystal undergoing transformation in the Blue Light Tripod, both were of great use to him.
