Chapter 1259: Chapter 1263: Raising a Dragon for a Thousand Days

…

There are ten Moon Radiance Gods in the Corner Mansion constellation.

The Heroic Moon God is one of them, a brilliant goddess.

Headed by the Heroic Moon God Nie Qinghuan, the majority of Nie’s Immortal Clan resides in Nie Mountain Spirit Town, including the true form of the Heroic Moon God, who has an immortal dwelling in the Facing Sun Forest. Even from afar atop the mountain, one can see the immortal dwelling hovering above the sea of clouds, particularly holy amidst the falling snow, almost merging with the clouds.

Zhu Minglang needs to find some spiritual herbs for Lu Kuan, preferably those with a Thousand Year Refinement.

Unfortunately, the Little Luminous Dragon is not by his side; with its miraculous ability to find spirits, it would’ve swiftly located the Spiritual Roots he needs in such a place abundant with Spiritual Energy.

Luckily, Nie Mountain Spirit Town is prosperous enough with various Spiritual Roots and Divine Seeds for sale. Zhu Minglang sold the Soul Bead he acquired in the snowy mountains for some money, and then bought some herbs that could heal a soul fracture injury to take back.

After the shopping spree, he didn’t have much money left in hand.

This is not Dragon Gate; he cannot just beat people up on sight and then demand their valuables in exchange.

To obtain more Divine Roots and spiritual resources, he needs to rely on his own hardworking hands.

…

In the early morning, basking in the warm sun, Zhu Minglang was herding alone in the long slope meadow outside the Spirit Town. There are many mountain fruits here, which Little Jiuwei is very fond of eating, saving Zhu Minglang quite a bit of expense on Dragon Food.

Perhaps it’s because he has stayed in Dragon Gate for too long, even if he can’t remember anything, his instinct is to amass wealth through plundering, making an honest living now seem somewhat unfamiliar.

He looked up at the sky above his head.

Not a hint of purple qi, meaning the Old Heavenly Father won’t be dropping any money for him to pick up. It’s all because he hasn’t achieved much so far. Perhaps after vanquishing the Bright Moon God Bin Chou, he might receive a wave of blessings and rewards from the heavens.

“Hey, I’m talking to you!” Just then, a young girl’s voice came through.

The girl was not old, around fifteen, but her features and figure already showed the fresh and unique charm of a young woman, clearly a beauty in the making…

Zhu Minglang shifted his gaze and noticed someone behind the young girl. It was her husband, the man like a cold rock – Cao Ying. He had a sword cradled in his arms, maintaining a cautious distance as he followed the young girl.

Bodyguard??

This God-lord Level Sword Master seemed to be the young girl’s bodyguard.

Then this girl must have an extraordinary background.

Although Cao Ying’s husband recognized Zhu Minglang, he remained silent, not very eager to show that he knew him.

“Turns out you’re deaf. I’ll forgive you because you’re deaf,” the young girl said as she walked up to Zhu Minglang.

At this point, the Little Jiuwei Dragon, having had its fill of fruits, scampered over and leaped onto Zhu Minglang’s shoulder.

The young girl’s eyes lit up immediately upon seeing the adorable Nine-tailed Dragon.

“Is this a Nine-tailed Dragon?” the girl asked. After finishing her question, she realized something and muttered, “Oh, I forgot you’re deaf.”

“Yes, it’s a Nine-tailed Dragon, and I’m not deaf. The wind was just too loud, and I didn’t hear you,” said Zhu Minglang.

“How much?” As she spoke, the young girl began to dig through her little purse, pulling out several pieces of intact Liuli Jade.

“How much for what?” Zhu Minglang asked, puzzled.

“This Little Jiuwei Dragon, sell it to me. Name your price,” the young girl said spiritedly.

“We already have a contract, so I can’t sell it to you. No matter the price, I won’t sell it. But if you like it, I can sell you a Nine-tailed Furry Robe,” Zhu Minglang offered.

“How do you know I like its fur? It feels so comfortable to touch,” the young girl reached out to pet the Nine-tailed Dragon.

The Nine-tailed Dragon sheds its fur frequently, which is related to its rapid physical development.

The fur of the Nine-tailed Dragon is always a rare commodity, with genuine articles being extremely expensive. Hence, Zhu Minglang would collect it whenever the Nine-tailed Dragon molted.

Zhu Minglang originally planned to make a Nine-tailed Furry Robe to sell, which was worth no less than a God Son Level Soul Bead. He still needed some materials to make it fit for an adult woman, which required waiting for next month’s hair shedding. However, making it suit a young girl’s figure should be just perfect, and even if not, adding thick mane from a Chongwang Dragon wouldn’t be noticeable to others with Zhu Minglang’s craftsmanship.

“I’ll give you all this money, and you give me the robe,” said the little girl.

“I need to go back and get it. How about tomorrow, when I come here to herd, you come and pick it up… Oh, your money is definitely not enough; my Nine-tailed Dragon is of quite a high rank,” Zhu Minglang said.

“Hmph, I have to see the goods tomorrow to know how much it’s worth. I’m not easily fooled!” the girl retorted.

“Alright.”

“Can I play with it for a while?”

“Sure,” Zhu Minglang said, seeing the Nine-tailed Dragon was not very willing as it pouted. Zhu Minglang communicated with it using telepathy.

After a little persuasion, the Nine-tailed Dragon reluctantly “opened for business,” allowing the girl to pet and play with it.

Raise a dragon for a thousand days, use it for a moment!

This Little Jiuwei Dragon has quite the charm to bait rich ladies and golden girls.

Why didn’t I think of making a fortune this way before?

The Little Jiuwei Dragon’s promotion to the God General Level is now assured.

If Little Jiuwei Dragon is for companionship, what can the Chongwang Dragon do?

Zhu Minglang began to seriously ponder over this question.

Tomb raiding??

It seems like a pretty good direction of development, as the places where some immortals are buried usually have a large number of burial objects!

“What do you do? Is this your first time at Nie Mountain Spirit Town?” The little girl hugged the Nine-tailed Dragon and refused to let go, striking up a conversation with Zhu Minglang.

“I’m here to visit family,” Zhu Minglang said, glancing at the stone man ten steps away.

“No wonder, you seem not to know me,” the girl said.

“Are you famous?” Zhu Minglang asked.

“Of course, the whole Spirit Town is owned by my family,” the girl bragged.

“That’s not so impressive. See up there? The scorching sun above our heads is my Dragon. The entire Jun Tian is basking in its glory,” Zhu Minglang said, pointing at the sun.

“Pfft~~” The girl suddenly burst into laughter, then realized it was inappropriate, hastily covered her mouth, and continued laughing for a while before saying, “Did you just come out from some deep mountain? How can you still believe in such an ancient nursery rhyme?”

“Well, you’re not wrong there. I came out from the Xushan Loose Tribe of Li Prefecture a few months ago,” Zhu Minglang said.

“What’s so fun about that place?”

“In the morning, I herd cattle and sheep; at noon, I catch fish in the thawed ice lake; in the afternoon, I lie on the grass, bask in the sun, and count the eagles flying by; in the evening, I drive the livestock back into the pen and then have a bonfire to roast fish and eat…” Zhu Minglang said.

“That sounds nice. Roasted fish, I also want to eat roasted fish. Hey, you there, catch a big fish for me,” the little girl said to the man of stone behind her.

“I must ensure your safety and can’t go too far,” the man of stone said.

“What dangers could there be here?” the girl challenged.

“I act under orders.”

“Ah, that again! You’re so annoying,” the little girl immediately lost her patience, not wanting to say another word to her wooden guardian.

“Fishing is interesting when you get into the water and catch one yourself, and then you have to light the fire and roast it yourself. If you let others do everything, you’ll lose the fun,” Zhu Minglang said.

“Really?”

“Of course, just follow me and watch closely, learn properly…” Zhu Minglang said.
