Chapter 2373 - 2376: Another Key—Hymn Ring

Looking at Gui Shu speaking confidently, Shen Qiang chuckled, "You mean, you used me to resurrect the Fetal Dragon Essence?"

Gui Shu was silent for a moment, then nodded, shook his head, and said, "No, you are Shen Qiang, and that won't change because of the Fetal Dragon Essence, or having the dragon's aura, the dragon's Sea of Consciousness, or Qi Sea, so this is completely different from what I anticipated."

"You mean it's out of control?" Shen Qiang asked in surprise.

Gui Shu was silent for a long time and said, "Yes, it is indeed out of control; otherwise, it should be the young master controlling your body, but over time, you devoured him. You did not change, but he disappeared."

Hearing this, Shen Qiang chuckled.

Because Shen Qiang remembered back when he was establishing his foundation, after painstakingly traversing the Qi Sea, he slew a giant dragon and devoured it. At the time, Shen Qiang thought that it was simply because he had mastered the Qi Sea.

But now, after listening to Gui Shu's words, Shen Qiang suddenly realized that the true meaning of slaying and devouring during foundation establishment was Shen Qiang had already controlled everything. Strictly speaking, Gui Shu's use of the Fetal Dragon Essence to devour a human for resurrection purposes had already failed.

"What are your plans now?" Shen Qiang smiled at Gui Shu.

Gui Shu was silent for a while, maintaining a smile but inexplicably sighed, "I tell myself, you are the young master, with an alias Shen Qiang. The difference between you and ordinary Dragon Clan is that you have human thoughts."

Shen Qiang smiled and said, "Now I'm in trouble. I can fix the loophole in the Dragon Emperor's treasury, but without the Dragon Bone, I can't become a true Dragon Emperor."

Gui Shu was silent for a moment and said, "I don't know where the young master is, but I know that the one who handed me the young master's essence seems to have other intentions, so I can't help you with this."

"I need to obtain the Dragon Bone." Shen Qiang seriously stared at Gui Shu.

Gui Shu seriously looked at Shen Qiang and said, "I really don't know, so I can't help you with this. My plan was for you to resurrect and then cultivate gradually for about a hundred years. When your cultivation is strong enough, I would take you back, but now everything is out of control."

Shen Qiang frowned, silently looking at Gui Shu for a long time, then suddenly said, "Can I trust you?"

Gui Shu was silent for a while before slowly saying, "As long as you don't harm the Sea Clan for your own benefit, I am trustworthy."

Hearing this, Shen Qiang smiled and said, "You've earned my respect; Sheng He is your home."

After saying that, leaving the somewhat dazed Gui Shu, Shen Qiang headed straight out the door, walked to the demon's main camp, and then took out his phone, sat by the flower bed in front of the demon's residence, and dialed a number.

"Do something for me." Shen Qiang got straight to the point.

After a long silence, Gong Ziyi's slightly hoarse voice came from the other end of the phone.

"I refuse."

"Aren't you going to ask what I want you to do?" Shen Qiang smiled somewhat self-deprecatingly.

Gong Ziyi was silent for a moment and then said, "No, because I am facing bigger trouble now, so I can't help."

"Help me with this, and I will allow your arrogance in the Abyss." Shen Qiang said calmly.

Gong Ziyi said, "Being so arrogant will get you killed."

"You can't do it." Shen Qiang said indifferently, "Others can't do it either, so stop with the nonsense. This counts as a transaction between us. Do it well, and Qian Ning will continue to sign under the same company. I don't guarantee Sheng He won't expand into the Abyss. Fail, and your position as the Abyss Emperor is over."

Hearing this, Gong Ziyi on the other side of the phone was silent for a long time before he said, "Send me the details, consider this my help for Song Weiyin."

After saying that.

The phone hung up.

Shen Qiang smiled, sent a message to Gong Ziyi, and after putting away his phone, Shen Qiang looked at the residential building full of demons with a sigh.

"To fix the loophole, nothing can be overlooked. Even without the strength of a Dragon Emperor, I absolutely cannot allow myself to step down from this position!"

Shen Qiang's eyes turned cold.

Within the Sea of Consciousness, Taiyin Youying's voice had already come.

"One of the other six keys has materialized; come take a look."

Upon hearing this, Shen Qiang immersed his mind into the Sea of Consciousness and was surprised to see something floating beside Taiyin Youying.

It was a very eerie ring, spraying water outward.

"Is this one of the other six keys?" Shen Qiang was perplexed.

Taiyin Youying calmly said, "Yes, I have always called it the Water Spray Ring, but its actual name is Refrain. It is not only one of the seven keys to open the Moon Palace, but also can create potable water in any environment, even amidst a flaming mountain; as long as your True Yuan is sufficient, it will never run out of water."

Shen Qiang frowned slightly but then his eyes brightened—Refrain, ring, infinite water.

With this item, wouldn't it mean there is no need to store water in the Storage Ring?

Bear in mind that even Qian Ning, who can control raindrops, carries bottled water in her Storage Ring. Shen Qiang discovered this while preparing to go to the Dragon Palace, having once curiously asked her why she needed bottled water despite being from the Sea Clan and controlling raindrops.

Her answer was that in certain environments, she was unable to control raindrops, so the bottled water in her Storage Ring was reserved for the worst situations.

But this Refrain ring is different; it can produce water at any time.

In other words, with this item, even going to the Moon Palace would no longer worry about water issues.

"A valuable item, a treasure!" Shen Qiang's eyes gleamed.

"Manifesting these items will take some time. I will call you when they're ready. You can attend to your matters now. If you urgently need the Dragon Bone, you can start with Refrain."

Upon hearing Youying's words, Shen Qiang nodded vigorously and, after ensuring he remembered all the details of the Water Spray Ring, his mind left the Sea of Consciousness.

Taking out his phone, the first thing Shen Qiang did was log in to the Dragon Group Mall.

Because this is the easiest, most convenient, and most likely place to find treasures.

After all, this Refrain ring might be listed in some corner of the Dragon Group Mall as an ordinary Water Element Technique ring.

"Water Element, ring."

After entering these four words, Shen Qiang nervously and expectantly pressed the search button.
