Dragon Monarch System

Chapter 988: Chapter 988:- Harvesting the Dead Men’s Wealth [II]

"Now that I have free time, let’s continue with what I was doing." These were the storage rings of the Core and inner members of the Organisation. Almost everything in their storage rings was useful to Aditya.

And he always loved taking belongings of the people he killed.

『Nine-Leaf Spirit Orchid』

『Rank - Peak 5-star Spiritual Herb』

『Description - A rare herb that grows only in places rich in Spirit Veins. Consuming the orchid strengthens the user’s meridians and slightly increases Mana regeneration for three months. However, improper refining can poison the user’s meridians.』

『Quantity - 3』

The Nine-Leaf Spirit Orchid was not very big. But it carried a strange beauty that immediately caught the eye. Nine smooth leaves spread outward from the centre like a small star, each leaf thin, elegant, and perfectly shaped.

A faint emerald-green glow slowly flowed across the surface of the leaves, as if gentle light was moving inside the plant itself. From time to time, tiny strands of spiritual energy drifted out from the orchid and disappeared into the air, like soft mist.

Aditya could clearly feel the rich spiritual energy coming from the herb.

"This could be really useful."

"If Riya can somehow plant these rare herbs and successfully grow them in the Dragon Palace, then it will be really beneficial to the entire Empire."

This herb was not as rare as the Dragon Grass, even though both belonged to the same rank. The Dragon Grass was far more potent and had more uses.

"Even again, I am not an Alchemist, so I can’t exactly be sure." For now, Aditya decided to hand them to Julia for inspection and also ask Riya if she can grow them.

’Who knows, there may be ways to mix the Dragon Grass and the Nine-Leaf Spirit Orchid to create something more miraculous.’

『Heaven’s Echo Bell』

『Rank - Mid 6-star』

『Description - A palm-sized bronze bell that emits a wave of spiritual sound when struck with Mana. The sound can disrupt enemy spell casting and temporarily shake the minds of weaker cultivators. However, the bell can only be used three times per day before it requires 24 hours to recharge.』

The bell is small enough to rest comfortably in his palm. The surface of the bell is covered with very fine ancient patterns that look like flowing sound waves carved into the bronze. The metal carries a dull golden-bronze colour, but when Mana passes through it, faint ripples of pale silver light travel across the engraved patterns.

At the top of the bell is a simple circular handle, also carved with tiny runic symbols that even Aditya couldn’t comprehend. Even when it remains completely still, a faint humming vibration seems to linger around it.

Hiss...!!!

Hearing the description, Aditya had to take a deep breath to calm his raging heart and overwhelming emotions.

’This might be the ultimate weapon against Mages. Even a Mid 6th-order Mage wouldn’t be able to resist the power of this Heaven’s Echo Bell.’

But Aditya felt that this might be useless to him. With his teleportation and newly awakened Class, this bell served almost no use. Sure, this bell might be useful to him if he were severely injured and needed to stop the opponent mage.

’But the chances of that happening are extremely low.’

Aditya’s attacking style always relied on extreme speed. The biggest weakness of a mage is Agility. Against agility opponents, mages often struggled to hit the targets. Normally, the weakness of a body path cultivator should be hidden spells, traps, and elemental spells of a mage. But Aditya was a hybrid of both worlds. He did not need to chant spells as his elemental skills were of the Manipulation type.

He was also a body path cultivator. Being a Divine Dragon meant that his body was extremely tough, even tougher than body path cultivators of the same Realm. In a way, Aditya excelled in both worlds.

『Crimson Blood Refinement Fruit』

『Rank - Peak 5-star』

『Description - A spiritual fruit capable of strengthening the body’s blood essence. After refinement, it enhances physical strength and vitality. However, the fruit is extremely violent in nature, and cultivators below the 4th Order risk internal bleeding if they attempt to refine it directly.』

『Quantity - 5』

The fruit was about the size of a small apple, except that the colour of the fruit was light blue. Thin dark veins spread across its surface, slowly pulsing with a faint red glow, as if the fruit itself has a heartbeat.

"Another useful Item."

’If I am lucky, maybe I will gain benefits from consuming one of these fruits.’

Without hesitation, he ate the Crimson Blood Refinement Fruit. The fruit is more or less like a fresh apple. But each bite had overflowing vitality in it.

’This is undoubtedly the most powerful Magic Fruit I ever eaten.’

After consuming the fruit for a few minutes, nothing happened. Seeing this, Aditya understood that it would take time for the fruit to show its effect, so he focused on other things.

『Dragonbone Wrist Guards』

『Rank - Mid 5-star』

『Description - Wrist guards crafted from the bones of an ancient dragon beast. They significantly enhance the user’s grip strength and reduce recoil from powerful weapon techniques. When infused with Mana, the guards temporarily reinforce the user’s arms to withstand stronger attacks.』

The wrist guards were bone-made. There were complex runes drawn on the surface of the Wrist guards. Because of the time he spent studying runes, he could even understand some of the runes, but not everything.

’Good Stuff!’

’But I can make it even better.’ For now, he decided to keep it. Once he became a 5-star runemaster, he could make the wrist guards even better. Aditya planned to keep these wrist guards for his personal use.

As for using these wrist guards that were forged from the bone of an Ancient Dragon, he had no hesitation in his heart. In his mind, he even felt that he was the best person to draw out the power of these Wrist guards since he was the Dragon Monarch.

Just as he was about to continue, suddenly, a very strong energy spread all over his body from his stomach like a strong gust of wind spreading in all directions. Within seconds, this strong energy reached every cell of his body.

For a few seconds, Aditya felt invincible. But that feeling quickly disappeared.

『Ding! You have consumed the Crimson Blood Refinement Fruit. Your base Strength has increased by [55+].』

『Ding! You have consumed the Crimson Blood Refinement Fruit. Your base Stamina has increased by [45+].』

’Not bad!’ Direct improvement of [100] points to his base stats was a huge blessing. For now, this increment might seem small and insignificant, but in a battle, these differences could be crucial to winning.

As for the rest of the things that Aditya found inside the Storage ring, it was not worth his attention.

Yes, some of these things were really good, but they had no use for anyone in his Family or any of the generals. Maybe handing them out as rewards to the Soldiers and Nobles for their contribution would be more befitting.

But one thing was sure: nothing that Aditya found within the Storage ring was useless. Those things that Aditya or close ones did not need were directly put in the Treasury. Nobles can redeem these things with enough merit.

As for deciding how many merit points are needed to redeem, this would be Spencer and his men’s job. This wasn’t something that the likes of the Dragon Monarch should concern himself with. He had set up a perfect system, and now his men needed to manage and operate it.

One thing that Aditya found in a lot of quantity was Spirit Stones. This was another blessing.

Aditya really needed Spirit Stones to upgrade the Dragon Palace to level 3.

He wanted to upgrade the Dragon Palace to level 3 before he left for the Main Continent. Last time, he nearly spent two weeks within the Tunnel World, but this time, he might be gone for much longer, and unfortunately, he cannot bring his loved ones with him. So at least he wanted to build a fortress that no Peak 5th-order cultivator or groups of Peak 5th-order cultivators would be able to break into in his absence.

A level 3 Dragon Palace would have the capability to easily withstand attacks of many Peak 5th-order cultivators at the same time. Not to mention, the last time the Palace was upgraded, it unlocked so many features. Who knows what revolutionary features and functions the Dragon Palace would unlock this time?

’It would be awesome if I could shrink the Dragon Palace to the size of a grain and always carry it with me.’ But he knew even in this fantasy world, this was impossible. After all, with people and living things inside, shrinking the Dragon Palace was not possible.
