Chapter 1151: Honorary Elder
Ou Yangming still refused. The dragon emperor and the old man had no choice. In the end, the emperor gave him the token of an Honorary Elder as compensation.
With this token, Ou Yangming was the Dragons’ Honorary Elder. In the Great Wide World, this was equivalent to having the Dragons as a backer. Even if the young fellow caused trouble, the Dragons would support him.
An Honorary Elder did not have any obligations. In other words, even after receiving this token, Ou Yangming was still free and did not need to make any contributions to the Dragons.
This was also a way to win over one’s heart. After all, a smithing master like Ou Yangming was rarely seen in the Great Wide World. If the Dragons had any needs for smithing in the future, it would be much more convenient for them to ask him for help.
Ou Yangming took the token and was about to leave when he asked, “Senior, do you know where the Mystic Ice Jade Fruit exists?”
Now that Ou Yangming had found the Seven-colored Heavenly Fragrant Flower, he had to look for the Mystic Ice Jade Fruit. He was still a long way from the third step, but he had to be prepared.
Just like the Crimson Emperor in the past, if he had enough time, he might not have ended up in such a miserable state.
“Lil’ Friend Ou, is that Mystic Ice Jade Fruit very important to you?” The old man asked.
Ou Yangming nodded and said with certainty, “Senior, the Mystic Ice Jade Fruit is indeed very important to me. No matter the price, I have to find it.”
Seeing Ou Yangming’s determination, the old man thought for a moment and said, “I’ve heard about the Mystic Ice Jade Fruit once.”
“Senior, where is it?” Ou Yangming asked anxiously.
The old man responded leisurely, “In the Mystic Sky Sect of the Zhenwu Continent. It is said that there’s a Mystic Ice Jade Fruit Tree in the secret realm of the sect. If nothing goes wrong, you should be able to find the spiritual fruit there.”
Ou Yangming had a puzzled look on his face.
The Zhenwu Continent? The Mystic Sky Sect? He had never heard of these names, let alone knowing where they were.
When the dragon emperor saw Ou Yangming’s expression, he was also stunned. He asked in disbelief, “Lil’ Friend Ou, you don’t know about the Zhenwu Continent?”
The dragon emperor’s tone was filled with surprise as if it was very odd for Ou Yangming to not know about the continent.
Ou Yangming rubbed his nose and explained with embarrassment, “Emperor, I came from the lower realm, and I’ve only been in the Great Wide World for a short period, so I don’t know what the Zhenwu Continent and the Mystic Sky Sect are.”
“I see.” The dragon emperor was surprised. He did not expect that Ou Yangming, who was a genius, came from the lower realm. He later explained, “The Zhenwu Continent is the core of the Humans in the Great Wide World. Just like the Dragons’ 10,000 Dragons Valley, that place can be considered as the Humans’ headquarters. As for the Mystic Sky Sect, it’s the Humans’ top sect. It’s incredibly formidable and has gathered plenty of human elites.”
The Humans’ headquarters. It was no wonder the dragon emperor was so surprised just now. As a human, Ou Yangming did not know where the Humans’ headquarters in the Great Wide World was.
Ou Yangming had heard Lil’ Red’s explanation in the past. The Dragons and the Phoenixes each occupied a third of the territories of the Great Wide World. The remaining territories were ruled by the other races. Nonetheless, among the other races, the Humans were undoubtedly the most powerful and had the most people. Even in the territories of the Dragons and the Phoenixes, most of them were humans.
After thinking for a while, Ou Yangming asked in a low voice, “Senior, I want to go to the Zhenwu Continent. Can you give me a map?”
If he wanted to find the Mystic Ice Jade Fruit, he had to go to the Zhenwu Continent. He was also curious about the Humans’ base. As a human, he naturally wanted to go there. It would not look good for him to stay at the Dragons.
The dragon emperor frowned and said, “That’s not a problem. The route from the 10,000 Dragons Valley to the Zhenwu Continent isn’t a secret. That said, the Mystic Sky Sect is a top sect in the path of alchemy. Even if they have the fruit, they’ll treat it as a treasure. It’s unlikely for you to ask for it. Why don’t you stay here? I’ll ask my subordinates to look for information about the fruit. Once I find it, I’ll immediately give it to you.”
Ou Yangming shook his head and refused. Not to mention whether it could be found or not, even if it could be found, how long would it take?
Since he knew that the Mystic Sky Sect had information about the Mystic Ice Jade Fruit, he did not want to continue waiting for no reason.
He said in a deep voice, “Thank you for your kindness, Emperor. There’s no need to trouble you. I also want to go to the Zhenwu Continent to take a look. If I can get the fruit, that’ll be the best but if I can’t get it, it’s not a big deal.”
Hearing Ou Yangming’s firm words, the dragon emperor and the old man did not try to persuade him. After they left the treasury, the emperor gave Ou Yangming the complete map.
The 10,000 Dragons Valley was very far from the Zhenwu Continent. If Ou Yangming used the dragon boat to fly, he might not be able to reach there even after 100 years. Despite that, the civilization of the Great Wide World was remarkable, where there were Teleportation Formations.
On the same day, Ou Yangming bade farewell to the dragon emperor. After bidding farewell to Great Elder Long Shao as well, he quietly left the Dragons.
Ou Yangming walked out of the Teleportation Formation on the Hidden Dragons Island. When Long Er, who was cursing, saw him, he quickly ran over.
“Master Ou!”
Long Er lowered his head and said with a respectful tone.
He had also heard about what happened on the island the last time. He did not expect that the honored guest he received from the Dragons was the legendary Master Ou.
“Long Er.”
Ou Yangming narrowed his eyes.
Long Er became even more respectful. Ou Yangming was not just a blacksmith master. Last time, the island master had killed Wu Qingquan and the captain of the Dragon Prestige Army for him.
“Master Ou, you still remember me?”
Ou Yangming laughed. “It’s only been a few days. I’m not muddle-headed so of course, I remember you.”
Long Er’s face was full of smiles. He had thought that a big shot like Ou Yangming would not care about him at all. He had never thought that the blacksmith master would remember him, so he asked respectfully, “Master Ou, are you still going to the East City Square to smith magic weapons this time?”
Ou Yangming shook his head and said, “I’m planning to go to Yoshino Star. I’m here for a transit.”
Although the Teleportation Formation was very fast, one could not be teleported too far away. Usually, one could only reach a few star areas nearby. If one wanted to go to a distant place, they would need to go through a few formations.
“Master Ou, this way please. I’ll take you there.” Long Er did not dare to hesitate. After making a gesture of invitation, he led Ou Yangming to another Teleportation Formation.
“Old Tiger, bring Master Ou to the Yoshino Star’s Teleportation Formation. The cost is on me,” Long Er shouted.
A burly man walked out, “Long Er, what are you shouting for? What Master Ou? Are you dumb? Do you really think that Master Ou will take you seriously?”
Long Er shouted coldly and moved aside. “Look at who’s behind me then.”
When the strong man with sleepy eyes saw Ou Yangming behind Long Er, his pupils contracted. Afterward, he hurriedly ran over. “Master Ou, I didn’t expect you to come. Sorry for not welcoming you. Please forgive me, Master.”
After what happened last time, Ou Yangming had become famous on the Hidden Dragons Island. After all, a blacksmith who could smith hundreds of magic weapons consecutively was godlike to these people.
The last time Ou Yangming gave the magic weapon to Long Er, the other people guarding the Teleportation Formation were envious. They did not dare to dream about Good Grade magic weapons in their lifetime, but Master Ou gave one away as a tip. There was simply no way to compare this.
“There’s no need to be so polite. I plan to go to Yoshino Star. Sorry to trouble you, brother.” Ou Yangming smiled.
He was famous, but he was not arrogant at all.
“No trouble, no trouble. It’s my honor.” The tiger-headed man hurriedly stepped aside and let Ou Yangming enter the Teleportation Formation.
Ou Yangming took 2 steps then stopped. He asked in a deep voice, “How much is it to use the Teleportation Formation?”
“Master Ou, don’t worry about it. You don’t need to pay for this,” Long Er quickly said.
Old Tiger secretly cursed himself for reacting slowly. He hurriedly said, “Master Ou, you don’t need to care about this. This small amount of money is nothing.”
How much was the cost of using a Teleportation Formation? If he could build a relationship with Master Ou, it would be worth it.
Ou Yangming smiled. He naturally did not need to ask the 2 of them to help him pay for it. He smiled and said, “Please let me know. My trip is far away, so this won’t be my only time taking the Teleportation Formation.”
After hearing what he said, Long Er answered, “The price is the same throughout the Dragons’ territory. Each time you enter one, it’ll be 100 high-grade spirit coins. As for the Humans and the Phoenixes, they might have different prices in different places. As for the exact prices, we don’t know either.”
Only then did Ou Yangming realize that he did not have any spirit coins in his Long Feather Ban. Last time, he had gotten a lot of materials. Any one of them could be exchanged for a lot of spirit coins, but they could not be directly used as spirit coins.
Going out was different from staying in the Dragons’ territory. He had to have spirit coins. As such, he glanced at the 2 dragon powerhouses and asked, “How many spirit coins do you have in total?”
Long Er quickly answered, “Master Ou, I currently have more than 2,000 high-grade spirit coins, and I also have some middle-grade and low-grade ones.”
Old Tiger hesitated for a moment and replied, “I have more than 3,000 high-grade spirit coins on me.”
These spirit coins were not much, but they were barely enough to deal with an emergency. Ou Yangming’s lips curled into a smile as he said, “Take out all your spirit coins. A Good Grade magic weapon should be enough, right?”
The 2 of them were stunned at first, then they became ecstatic. 2,000 to 3,000 spirit coins could only get a few materials at most and could not even be used to purchase the poorest Common Grade magic weapon, let alone a Good Grade one.
Ou Yangming was not stingy either. He directly took out 2 Good Grade magic weapons to exchange with them, then he disappeared into the Teleportation Formation under their thrilled looks.
“Master Ou’s wealthy indeed,” Old Tiger remarked with a sigh.
Long Er also had a look of admiration on his face. ‘When can I become as carefree as Master Ou…’
