Chapter 179: Chapter 180: The Fertile Water Does Not Flow into Others’ Fields

Qin Yang handled the matter very reliably.

On the third day, Qin Yang told Zhu Minglang that the issue had been resolved.

A member of the Royal Family, who did not wish to reveal her name, was willing to exchange the mining and city ownership deeds that Zhu Minglang had for an opportunity to cultivate in the Dragon Country.

“She is a Female Marquis who has encountered a large deficit in her finances and is selling off some items to cover these losses. We just happen to have so many deeds on hand…” Qin Yang said to Zhu Minglang.

“Good, since having them without a suitable buyer is a loss anyway,” Zhu Minglang nodded, agreeing to the small transaction.

Zhu Minglang had already looked into deeds like those of Runyu City.

Its location was quite remote, and there probably weren’t many people in the Imperial City interested in it, the price being just seventy or eighty thousand gold.

This was far below his initial estimate of at least one hundred and fifty thousand.

But in reality, holding onto the deeds for an extended time while searching for a proper buyer, or going to that country specifically to see if anyone wanted to become a City Lord, could bring a price as high as two or three hundred thousand gold…

The problem was, Zhu Minglang simply didn’t have the time to wait and look.

The opportunity to train in the Dragon Country was once in a lifetime, and his current level was the most suited for cultivation there.

Zhu Minglang, holding so many deeds, ultimately needed to convert them into money, which was for the rapid enhancement of his strength!

The qualification to enter the Dragon Country was priceless.

Who knew how much money and connections it would take to secure another chance to travel to the Dragon Country after missing out on this deal with the Female Marquis’s deficit.

Moreover, he had been expelled from the Imperial City and would not have the opportunity for many years to come.

Mr. Jinli had prepared many spiritual resources to enhance Bai Qi’s abilities.

The focus was mainly on strengthening Bai Qi’s frost power.

The strengthening process wasn’t too difficult.

But it was indeed quite costly.

Zhu Minglang also specifically waited until Little White Bai Qi had absorbed this batch of strengthening spiritual objects before he set off for the Dragon Country.

Being at the Peak Lord Level, along with Little White’s three powerful abilities, he should have a huge advantage even when facing creatures of the same level.

Of course, to break through to the Monarch Level wasn’t something that could be achieved simply by spending money.

Little White had one more advancement to go, and it was best to prepare well for this advancement.

After making the necessary preparations, Zhu Minglang officially set off.

Entering the Imperial Palace, someone specifically escorted them to the Dragon Country.

The Dragon Country was a unique sacred land completely suspended in the air, where one could see many miraculous sky vines hanging down from the thick clouds.

In the land among the clouds, there were also magical trees and the mountains of Cloud Mountain, which were piled up layer upon layer, like a fairyland.

Upon arriving at the entrance of the Dragon Country, all around were cloud screens resembling white mountain ranges, and the mist underfoot could be tread upon, soft like snow, sinking when stepped on.

“The two of you, while the dragons inside do not harbor malice toward humans, please do not lightly provoke those noble Heavenly Dragons,” said the Dragon Guard protecting the Dragon Country.

“If an accident occurs, there will be no one inside to come to your rescue.”

“Furthermore, the space inside is much more extensive than what the naked eye can see, and there are also strange and uncharted ancient realms that even our Imperial Dynasty has not fully explored. Do not step into them out of curiosity, as it may be very difficult to come out alive,” the Dragon Guard warned Zhu Minglang and Nan Lingsha very earnestly.

Both nodded, indicating that they would remember these words firmly in their hearts.

“The dragons inside belong to you if you catch them, providing you have the ability,” another Dragon Guard added.

“The spiritual resources inside, if you can obtain them, they also belong to you.”

“Remember to pay attention to the lamp jade hanging around your waists. The lamp jade can provide you with life vitality. In the Dragon Country of Clouds, every moment consumes a great deal of our life breath. Once your lamp jade dims, you must immediately leave. Otherwise, you might be frozen by the cloud ice, eventually becoming cloud snow that drifts within the cloud kingdom, and this has nothing to do with the level of your cultivation base.”

The Dragon Guards were quite professional, repeating all the essential matters that needed to be conveyed.

After saying these, they let Zhu Minglang and Nan Ling Sha enter.

Upon stepping into the Dragon Country of Clouds, the cloud layers became dense and resembled a vast glacial world. Although the clouds drifted aimlessly, they looked no different from frosty air.

“It’s very cold here, unbearable for ordinary people,” said Nan Ling Sha.

“Yes, the icy cold depletes our life vitality until it exhausts our body’s organs and freezes us to death. We would then become clumps of icy cloud dust. It seems that the real key to entering the Dragon Country of Clouds is not the qualification, but this lamp jade that can maintain the breath of life vitality,” Zhu Minglang replied.

Even the royal family could not enter the Dragon Country of Clouds to explore at any time.

Lamp jade is limited, which makes the cultivation in the Dragon Country of Clouds all the more precious.

“Mew”

Little White seemed to like this place very much. The chill in the clouds even made its feathers more spirited.

It rarely dozed off on Zhu Minglang’s shoulder anymore, instead, it flapped its wings and looked around at this extremely special fairyland of clouds.

Some clouds could be walked on.

But some clouds were hollow, and stepping on them might lead to a direct fall into the Cloud Sky Abyss.

The Dragon Country of Clouds itself was a secret realm; from the outside, it looked like a floating mountain of colorful clouds, radiant and unbelievably magnificent, right above the center of the Imperial City. But once inside, it was another world, as if you were truly in a kingdom composed of ice clouds, heavenly vines, colorful pools, and Illusion Mountains!

There were rivers inside.

They were streams of even thinner flowing cloud mist.

There were deep abysses within the clouds.

Completely bottomless Cloud Caves that appeared out of nowhere, falling into which one might not know where they would end up.

And those soaring Cloud Mountains, whose peaks were not visible, could be climbed. One could either brave the fierce icy winds to fly over or climb along the heavenly vines or find other Illusion Mountain cloud ladders.

Everything in the Dragon Country of Clouds was as fantastical as a dream, beyond all explanation by common sense.

“I have heard that the so-called Ancient Ruins are similar to secret realms like the Dragon Country of Clouds, areas not constrained by the natural laws, thus they might contain divine spiritual resources and be inhabited by transcendent and saintly beings,” Zhu Minglang said to Nan Ling Sha.

“Are you asking about the matter of the Ancient Ruins in the Ancestral Dragon City-State?” Nan Ling Sha asked.

“If the Ancestral Dragon City-State were also to have a secret realm similar to the Dragon Country of Clouds, it would thrive immensely,” Zhu Minglang said.

“Perhaps my grandmother knows something about it. We can ask her when we return,” Nan Ling Sha suggested.

Zhu Minglang nodded.

One shouldn’t let water intended for one’s own field flow into another’s.

The person who first discovers such a special secret realm or ruins and enters it will surely reap the greatest benefits!

How was the Imperial Dynasty established and how has it stood unshaken? Isn’t it by discovering the Dragon Country of Clouds and gaining control over it?
