When Li Luo happily returned to the Dragon's Fang Guardians training ground, he was shocked to find it empty. There were barely any people around.
He quickly grabbed onto a sentry on duty and asked him about it.
"Today is the day they enter the Spirit Treasury?"
Li Luo understood as soon as he heard this. Every quarter, the Five Guardian Armies would organize a visit to the Spirit Treasury. All of them would put the Foundational Spirit Treasures that they had found over the past 3 months into the Heavenly Dragon Treasury.
This would represent the contributions each of the Guardian Army had made during this period.
After these Foundational Spirit Treasures had been placed into the Treasury, any member would be able to exchange for it. As such, nearly everyone in the Five Guardian Armies would gather at the Heavenly Dragon Treasury on this occasion to see if there's any suitable Foundational Spirit Treasure for themselves.
Most of the time, the Foundational Spirit Treasures would be of lower or middle grade. Higher grade Foundational Spirit Treasures were so rare that they might not even see one in half a year's time.
"Sister Qing'e and Senior Hongyou has gone over to the treasury."
Li Luo knew that Li Hongyou was preparing to break into the Duke stage. The most important thing for her right now would be a Foundational Spirit Treasure. If she couldn't find any suitable ones, it would definitely affect the pillars of her Duke Bergfried even if she succeeded.It seemed like Li Hongyou must be planning to find a suitable Foundational Spirit Treasure after all.
Li Luo turned around and flew across the sky immediately, heading towards the Heavenly Dragon Treasury.
In the parade square outside the gigantic gate of the Heavenly Dragon Treasury.
It was bustling with chatter as an uncountable number of people filled the place.
It was a really grand sight with thousands of guardians all gathered in the same place.
Jiang Qing'e, Li Hongyou, Li Fengyi and Li Fuling were walking together. These beauties of the Dragon's Fang Guardians drew the gazes of the crowd wherever they passed by.
In the short time since her arrival, Jiang Qing'e had silently been crowned the prettiest in the Heavenly Dragon Five Guardian Armies. She also possessed an unrivaled talent apart from her mesmerizing charm.
In their generation of the Heavenly Dragon Five Guardian Armies, she was the only one who had forged a Ten-Pillar Duke Bergfried.
With both talent and looks, she naturally gained a large group of loyal fans.
It can be said that she was the most popular figure as well.
Unfortunately, she was already engaged to Li Luo.
This made many people sigh in their hearts.
"Hongyou, do you have a compatible Foundational Spirit Treasure in mind?" Jiang Qing'e was wearing the standard combat armor of the Dragon's Fang Guardians, which made her even more attractive by outlining her slender and graceful curves. Her beautiful face was like a flawless gem that shone with a brilliance.
She ignored all the gazes from the surrounding and softly asked Li Hongyou, who was by her side.
Li Hongyou was also extremely beautiful. She was the kind who appeared cold and alluring. However, her brilliance was outshined with Jiang Qing'e standing by her side.
She pondered for a moment after hearing what Jiang Qing'e asked. "The Small Spirit Wisdom Fruit that the Dragon's Fang Guardians found in the previous mission seems quite compatible with me."
Li Fengyi heard their words from the side and chimed in immediately. "Sister Hongyou, the Small Spirit Wisdom Fruit is just a middle grade Foundational Spirit Treasure. It's a little too low for you. I think it's best for you to find an upper grade Foundational Spirit Treasure that is compatible with you. In that case, you'll be able to forge a higher grade Duke Bergfried when you breakthrough successfully."
Jiang Qing'e nodded her head lightly, agreeing with Li Fengyi's suggestion.
Li Hongyou smiled back at them helplessly. Of course, she knew that an upper grade Foundational Spirit Treasure was better. However, Foundational Spirit Treasure at that grade would cost more than 30,000 Dragon essence. She had only earned a fraction of that amount after going on missions for the past half year.
"There is no need for you to rush for a breakthrough. You can wait a while more." Jiang Qing'e told her.
Li Hongyou did not reply. She had heard that the World End's River Treasure Domain might open any time soon. Breaking through would allow her to provide greater help to Li Luo. This was also why she had started to prepare recently.
Li Hongyou was truthfully a very pessimistic individual. This could be attributed to the fact that her heart had metaphorically died when her mother passed away. If she hadn't met Li Luo in the Heavenly Origin Ancient College and gotten a glimmer of hope for revenge, she might have found a place to quietly bury herself after she left the Heavenly Origin Ancient College. Li Luo had been looking after her since she had arrived at the Dragon's Fang Guardians too. As such, she hoped to do something to repay him.
Jiang Qing'e took a glance at Li Hongyou. The latter did not say anything but she was sufficiently cognizant to pick up on her intentions. This filled her with complicated feelings as well. It seemed like Li Luo had a real skill in obtaining unrequited favors from other girls? It was pretty impressive if one thought about it.
"The Jade Lotus Spiritual Essence that the Dragon's Blood Guardians handed in this time seems pretty compatible with you too." Jiang Qing'e changed the topic of the conversation.
Everyone was talking about it when they saw the Dragon's Blood Guardians hand in an upper grade Foundational Spirit Treasure. This was the Jade Lotus Spiritual Essence, one of the two upper grade Foundational Spirit Treasure offered to the Treasury this time.
It was extremely suitable for people with support type resonances. As such, it's perfect for Li Hongyou.
"Upper grade Foundational Spirit Treasures cost 30,000 dragon essences. As this item is offered by the Dragon's Blood Guardians, they have the first right to exchange for it in the initial 3 months. If anyone from the other Guardians wants to trade for it, they'll have to offer twice the amount. Otherwise, they'll have to wait for the 3 month grace period to pass first." Li Hongyou explained.
"I cannot afford it."
"I'll help you raise the amount." Jiang Qing'e replied.
Li Hongyou shook her head. "Li Luo and you still owe a huge amount of dragon essence because of the Sovereign Pearls. Qing'e, you've been rushing all over the place to take on missions for the past two months and you've only repaid a small amount of the debt."
Dragon essences were an extremely valuable resource for those in the Heavenly Dragon Five Guardian Armies. Everyone was working for it the whole year round. It was a necessity for them to exchange for other cultivation resources and methods.
If Li Hongyou wanted the Jade Lotus Spiritual Essence, she would have to fork out 60,000 dragon essence. This was such a huge amount that even the Guardian General would not be able to raise it in a short time.
Jiang Qing'e heard her words and did not insist any further. She indeed did not have much dragon essence left because of the debt incurred from obtaining the two Sovereign Pearls.
As the two of them were talking, the crowd in the front split into two suddenly. Jiang Qing'e and Li Hongyou paused in their tracks.
In front of them was Li Zhihuo, the Guardian General of Dragon's Blood Guardians. Yuan Tianzhao, Li Hongque and Li Hongli were by his side.
Li Hongyou frowned a little. She turned around as she did not want to deal with the Dragon's Blood Guardians at the moment.
However, Li Zhihuo walked up to her quickly with a grin. "Hongyou, can't you give us a chance to talk?"
Li Hongyou's feet stopped for a moment. She answered indifferently, "Guardian General Li Zhihuo, what'd you want to talk about?"
Li Zhihuo smiled and stretched out his hand. He did not hide it from her. In his palm, there was a green jade lotus that was a few feet wide. In the middle of the lotus, there was a layer of pale green liquid, giving off an alluring fragrance.
The eyes of everyone in the surroundings lit up as they looked over.
"That is the upper grade Foundational Spirit Treasure, the Jade Lotus Spiritual Essence?!" As the crowd talked about it, Li Zhihuo looked over at Li Hongyou earnestly. He said in a gentle tone, "Hongyou, I know you hold a grudge against Hongque. However, you have the blood of the Dragon's Blood Lineage flowing in you. No matter what, this is an unchangeable fact. If you're willing to come back to the Dragon's Blood Guardians, I'll make the call to let you use this Jade Lotus Spiritual Essence first. You can use it to help you breakthrough into the Duke stage first and slowly repay the dragon essence later. As for your grudge with Hongyou and her family, the Dragon's Blood Guardians will promise not to interfere. You can settle it amongst yourselves. What'd you think?"
Many of the Five Guardian Armies members were secretly shocked when they heard Li Zhihuo's words.
It seemed this Li Zhihuo was trying to bribe Li Hongyou into leaving the Dragon's Fang Guardians using an upper grade Foundational Spirit Treasure?
