734: Chapter 487 734: Chapter 487 Jiang Tang, although somewhat proud at the moment, guarded against the possibility of powerful beings ganging up on him.
Thus, every time these powerful ones gathered, he would invisibly avoid them.
As for this invisibility and the ability to stay undetected, the Flying Treasure and his own abilities did quite well.
Currently, there were none in the Cultivation World who had Jade Amulet Treasures that were picked up as good as his, nor were there any Secret Manuals and Magical Treasures produced by his space!
This was precisely his advantage and the capital he possessed at the moment.
Jiang Tang had received so many Crystal Stones that, aside from storing more in his space, he had sent some liquids and Fire Crystal Stones into the Primordial Treasure Lingtian Space for his two pets to cultivate.
Green Ox was practicing its fire-breathing ability, a skill it could learn only after its Cultivation had increased.
Eryao was different; owing to its Divine Dragon heritage, it had learned a better inheritance than the Snow Dragon, with a superior fire-breathing capability.
The attribute of fire had improved, and with the master sending in liquids and Fire Crystal Stones, he had provided them both with better learning opportunities.
These were resources to improve their fire abilities, the kind you couldn’t even buy outside.
Eryao was ambitious; the master wanted to subdue some True Dragons, but within True Dragons, like the Divine Dragon he was, there were ranks, especially since they had once been on the Immortal list.
If their abilities surpassed his own, he would need to be stronger to keep pace with the master, though they too benefited when the master became stronger.
However, this was not their true strength.
To become a real dragon, to ascend to the heavens and be even mightier than a True Dragon, they must continue to strengthen their bodies at this moment.
Last time Eryao had fought with a True Dragon.
He could fight the shrimp soldiers and crab generals, but he couldn’t even compete with the Crown Prince of the East Sea Dragon King.
Let alone the Dragon King.
At that time, some monkeys were fighting the Dragon King and those Crown Princes.
With so many helpers, they were only able to fight the Dragon King and the Crown Princes to a draw.
Later, as soon as the master made a move, he managed to deal with the Dragon King and the Crown Princes, even though it involved using other Fire Spirits.
Eryao had a strong sense of pride; if he couldn’t match a single Fire Spirit, let alone claim to be a Divine Beast or a Divine Dragon, it left him puzzled and unhappy over the past few days.
Seeing that Green Ox seemed unaffected, constantly chattering and accusing Green Ox of being timid, cowardly, and lacking ambition, unable to match even a Fire Seed, yet still in such a good mood.
Green Ox… should I laugh or cry?
My abilities were never as high as yours, and you couldn’t even match a Fire Spirit, so what good would my getting angry do?
Green Ox was very self-aware, knowing his own limitations.
Eryao’s anxiousness was something he could only understand, not something he wanted to trouble himself with.
He would cultivate as he always did, and naturally, his Cultivation would improve with better resources.
Eryao’s desire to surpass the Immortal Dragon was understandable to Green Ox; he appreciated the ambition but did not quite agree with getting so worked up.
The master suppressed his own abilities from advancing just to prevent premature Ascension, yet even as powerful as Eryao had become, he still wasn’t eligible to ascend.
Without the ability to ascend, there would be no ascending as a Dragon King.
And without that, one is non Immortal.
Green Ox feared they could not ascend yet, lest it draws a divine retribution, bringing Thunderstrike as the master worried—without the ability to ascend, would they spend their days constantly under lightning’s wrath?
Then they would not be able to leave the space, unable to go out and explore, only able to remain in the Primordial Treasure Lingtian Space.
Who knew if the Primordial Treasure Lingtian Space wouldn’t also attract Thunderstrikes, divine retributions?
Green Ox endured Eryao’s explosive temper day after day, cooking for him and tolerating his occasional verbal abuse and insults.
Green Ox suffered the injustice of a subordinate and dared not show it in front of the master, lest Eryao accuse him of tattling.
Jiang Tang was rather efficient at his task; in less than half an hour, he collected all the liquids and Fire Crystal Stones from a thousand acres of the volcanic base.
With the magma gone, the volcano was no longer as hot.
Even the sea water near the island was no longer boiling, as they had taken the Fire Spirits away; the volcano still had flames but was no longer as fierce as before.
Fire Spirits, Fire Crystal Stones, and Fire Marrow were not resources one could possess overnight.
Perhaps it would take millions of years to acquire these resources.
Though still a volcano, it had lost much of its value; maybe after millions of years, it would yield Fire Spirits again, Fire Crystal Stones might form in a few hundred or thousand years, and Fire Marrow might accumulate faster—given enough time, rock would melt into magma and then transform into Fire Marrow.
As for the natural formation of the island, he did not wish to store it in a Space Magical Treasure or a body magical treasure for the moment.
After completing his task, Jiang Tang began his return journey to the Flying Treasure.
Upon seeing the concerned looks from the nine beauties, he, in an instant, placed some resources into nine Storage Bags.
“Ha, once again stumbled upon treasures, I’ll share some with you.”
Jiang Tang handed the nine Storage Bags to Xuanyuan Mengting, asking her to distribute them.
Xuanyuan Mengting peeked into the Storage Bags with her Divine Sense and, finding treasures inside, her expression revealed her joy.
Then she obediently began to distribute the Storage Bags, and the other beauties, seeing treasures in their own bags, were also overjoyed.
Tang Yanran added the Storage Bag to her own, knowing it contained treasures that would be brought back to her family after completing the mission, and shared some with the family members who practiced the Fire Spirit Root Cultivation Technique.
As for these disciples, although some also possessed the Fire Spirit Root, their Cultivation was too low to use it yet.
