Chapter 277: Chapter 171: The Star Emperor’s Source Material Celestial Shuttle

As the number and Tier of Creators under Zhong Yi’s command increased, their demand for various materials would also grow.

Zhong Yi needed to make ample preparations for the producers in his faction.

Lü Yunyi nodded.

"Sir, that’s all negotiable. I trust you won’t task me with finding resources that are too difficult to obtain."

"Sir, I have faith in your character."

Zhong Yi’s lips curled into a slight smile.

Lü Yunyi was young to be in charge of the Xilong Commerce Association. Clearly, she was far more shrewd than others her age.

She even knew how to put him on a pedestal with her words, but Zhong Yi didn’t mind.

He and Lü Yunyi had only met by chance. Their interaction began simply because she happened to need his help.

And he, in turn, needed to establish a stable channel for acquiring resources in Longya City.

Mutual benefit had brought them together, and naturally, only mutual benefit would make their relationship grow stronger.

"I was wondering, does the Xilong Commerce Association, or your grandfather, have any Dragon Crystals from a Fairy Flashing Scale Flood Dragon?"

Lü Yunyi gently shook her head.

"The Fairy Flashing Scale Flood Dragon is a rather niche Guardian Beast. Its Dragon Crystal has no practical use, making it little more than a decoration."

"I’m not sure if the Xilong Commerce Association has this material in stock."

"If you need them, I can make a call right now and have someone check the Xilong Commerce Association’s storerooms. I can ask my grandfather at the same time."

Hearing this, Zhong Yi made a gesture for her to proceed.

Lü Yunyi stepped to one side and made a few calls.

A short while later, she walked back over to Zhong Yi.

"Sir Zhong Yi, my grandfather doesn’t have any Fairy Flashing Scale Flood Dragon Crystals, but the Xilong Commerce Association has two in its storerooms."

"I’ll have someone bring those two Fairy Flashing Scale Flood Dragon Crystals over for you right away."

Zhong Yi was delighted to hear that he would soon be getting two more Fairy Flashing Scale Flood Dragon Crystals.

When it came to a goose that lays golden eggs like the Dragon-Brewed Immortal Mink, Zhong Yi couldn’t have too many.

"In that case, I can make you a promise."

"From now on, for every extra Fairy Flashing Scale Flood Dragon Crystal you can find for me, I will supply your Xilong Commerce Association with an additional 50 pieces of Drunken Dragon Jade per month."

"As long as you find enough Fairy Flashing Scale Flood Dragon Crystals, you won’t have to worry about me being unable to supply the Drunken Dragon Jade."

A look of delighted surprise spread across Lü Yunyi’s face at Zhong Yi’s words.

Auspicious as they were, Fairy Flashing Scale Flood Dragons could still be found if one put in the effort.

Kill a Fairy Flashing Scale Flood Dragon, and you’d naturally get its Dragon Crystal.

Each Dragon Crystal could increase Zhong Yi’s supply of Drunken Dragon Jade by 50 pieces!

A material like this, which could enhance the Bloodline of a Main Dragon Species Guardian Beast, was always in high demand and short supply.

It would be simple to use this material to drive the Xilong Commerce Association’s sales.

All they had to do was bundle the Drunken Dragon Jade with other products.

They could just set a minimum monthly spending amount to be eligible to purchase a single piece of Drunken Dragon Jade!

The Xilong Commerce Association’s other products were reasonably priced, and the materials used for bundling were all things people could use anyway.

The Guardian Beast Masters who needed to raise Main Dragons wouldn’t mind buying a few low-end materials just to get their hands on Drunken Dragon Jade.

"Sir Zhong Yi, thank you for your generosity."

"From now on, if I find any Fairy Flashing Scale Flood Dragon Crystals, I will inform you immediately."

After speaking, Lü Yunyi took the initiative to ask for Zhong Yi’s contact information.

Lü Yunyi didn’t leave the Celestial Destiny Society until someone from the Xilong Commerce Association had delivered the two Fairy Flashing Scale Flood Dragon Crystals into Zhong Yi’s hands.

Zhong Yi had previously asked Ye Futu and Wen Tao to keep an eye out for Fairy Flashing Scale Flood Dragon Crystals for him.

But neither Ye Futu nor Wen Tao had a network that could compare to Lü Jiangping, a Five-finger High Tier Creator.

Besides, Lü Jiangping was based in Longya City, where Dragon Species Guardian Beasts were common!

A material like Drunken Dragon Jade was vital to the Xilong Commerce Association’s current situation.

Zhong Yi believed that Lü Jiangping would diligently help him search for Fairy Flashing Scale Flood Dragon Crystals, not just half-heartedly go through the motions.

That day, Cao Xing’an tried to think of numerous solutions, but the Celestial Destiny Seekers of Starlight City refused to stop protecting Tao En.

With Tao En inside the Celestial Destiny Society, Cao Xing’an was completely helpless.

In the decade-plus since he had plotted against Tao En and become a Five-finger Peak Creator, Cao Xing’an had never felt so utterly frustrated.

In his mind, Cao Xing’an was already locked in a contest of wills with Zhong Yi and Wen Tao.

He planned to make a move on Tao En as soon as the two of them left Longya City.

He never imagined that Tao En, a mere Three-finger Creator, could actually join Starlight City.

Whether Starlight City even wanted Tao En was one thing; on top of that, many of Longya City’s Celestial Destiny Seekers were likely unwilling to let him leave.

Cao Xing’an certainly never imagined that Tao En, whose soul was already in tatters, would have a chance to recover.

It wasn’t until the arrival of the Star Emperor that Cao Xing’an’s nerves, which had been relaxed for over a decade, suddenly snapped taut.

As one of the Three Emperors of the Xin Xia Alliance!

The Star Emperor, a powerhouse at the Peak of Ten Thousand Nations Level, had personally come to Longya City.

After arriving in Longya City, the Star Emperor took up residence in the Celestial Destiny Society.

Through the Celestial Destiny Society, he directly informed the veteran Celestial Destiny Seekers in charge of Longya City that he was taking Tao En with him.

He expressed his willingness to accept Tao En into Starlight City.

Tao En also stated directly that he no longer wished to remain in Longya City. Under the Star Emperor’s guidance, he went to the Craftsmen Association to change his city of affiliation and filed the necessary paperwork.

Everything happened too suddenly.

It left Red Dragon, Yin Mo, Fu Mo, the other Celestial Destiny Seekers of Longya City, and Cao Xing’an completely unprepared. Before they knew it, the matter was settled.

"Might makes right." In the world of Guardian Beast Masters where strength was revered, this was an ironclad rule that had been proven time and time again.

Moreover, all of the Star Emperor’s and Tao En’s actions were in accordance with the rules.

No one could find fault with their actions.

Had it been anyone else trying to take Tao En from Longya City, Cao Xing’an would have stepped in to stop them.

But facing the Star Emperor, one of the Three Emperors, Cao Xing’an was well aware that as a mere Five-finger Peak Creator, he was out of his league.

Even if he became a Six-finger Creator, the most he could hope for was to match the Star Emperor’s status.

But since his strength was no match for the Star Emperor, he would still be thoroughly suppressed if a real conflict broke out.

On the journey back, Star Night heard that the Dragon Carp Zhong Yi had chosen leaped over the ninth Dragon Gate, winning the prize from the Dragon Soaring Association.

A gentle smile hadn’t left his face since.

"Xiaoyi, I doubt any other new-generation Celestial Destiny Seeker with S-rank potential Talent could have come to Longya City and made such a profound impression on its people."

"I mentioned on the phone that I had something for you, something I bought from the Divine Origin Store."

"Here it is!"

"I knew your Talent was exceptional, but I never expected you to glimpse the true vastness of this world so soon."

"But since you’re planning to enter the Divine Origin Slaughter Secret Realm, this will be able to help you beforehand."

As he spoke, Star Night handed Zhong Yi a box. It looked like pure gold at first glance, but closer inspection revealed the material was actually translucent.

Zhong Yi took the box, only to find it was utterly weightless.

As Zhong Yi was curiously examining the item from the Divine Origin Store, he heard Star Night continue.

"Xiaoyi, before you go to sleep tonight, drip a drop of your blood onto this Source Material Celestial Shuttle. You will then be bound to it."

"Whenever you’re dreaming and your Soul Energy is at its peak, the Source Material Celestial Shuttle will guide you."

"You’ll understand its marvelous uses then!"

"When you wake up tomorrow morning, you’ll find that your perception of the world has changed."

"The first time I received guidance from a Source Material Celestial Shuttle, I clearly realized that I was nothing more than a slightly stronger ant."

"But I wasn’t discouraged. On the contrary, I found a brand new goal."

Star Night’s tone was gentle as he called himself a strong ant, completely unaware of the impact his words had on everyone else present.

A powerhouse at the Peak of Ten Thousand Nations Level was just an ant? Then how powerful were the Giant Beasts that could effortlessly crush such ants?
