    Imperial Dragon City, the smithy.


    Jiang Feng had gone to Uncle Fu and retrieved a stock of ores. He had been forging weapons non-stop in the Smithy since then.


    The weapons that he had forged were all Dragonballs.


    The Dragonballs could be used by both yers and pets, and they were very practical. Just throw it at a target!


    When he was forging it this time, he didn’t spend a lot of time on it. All he did was hit it a dozen times and then used Smithing on it.


    While he didn’t strike them as much as he didst time, the sess rate didn’t get any lower since he was a Spiritual-level Smith.


    <i>Ding! System Prompt. Congrattions. You forged a White-Silver Dragonball!</i>


    As he had already forged his first Dragonballst time, the game had already recorded its information. That was why all he needed was to do exactly what he didst time to forge the Dragonball, and after he was sessful, the system would automatically name them as Dragonballs.


    “Whew. I managed to forge ten Dragonballs but only one of them was Yellow-Gold. That’s fine I guess.” Seeing that he only had a few minutes left, he took the weapon that he had forged and left the Imperial Dragon City.


    ...


    “All stand in a line!” Jiang Feng said to his eight followers while holding eight Dragonballs in his hand at Xiling Valley.


    As per his orders, and led by Yanhu and Heifeng, all of them queue up properly.


    Seeing that, Jiang Feng nodded agreeably. He then took out the eight White-Silver Dragonballs and gave them to Yanhu, Heifeng, the Thunderp Mantis, Haozi, Manwang, Houwang, Double-Headed Wolf King, and Bluecloud Panther.


    AS for the Yellow-Gold Dragonball, he gave it to Xiao Longnu.


    “In the next few days, I will help you improve your bloodline. Will bring you to a ce that’s somewhat more dangerous. I hope that you can learn how to use the Dragonball quickly.” Jiang Feng said to his eight followers in a loud voice.


    With that, he then put them all away and headed towards the back of the Xiling Valley.


    <i>Ding! Server Announcement: Congrattions to Canaan Guild in sessfully protecting their base. As this was the first time that a guild had been sessfully built, Base Level increases by 1 and the Guild’s money +200,000. We hope that the other guilds will continue in their effort.</i>


    Jiang Feng heard the system’s announcement after he ran out for a moment and he was honestly surprised. He thought to himself, ‘Looks like the Inheritor of the Infernals was quite strong to be able to help Canaan Guild to protect her base. Looks like I have to work harder too.’


    The reason that he wanted to improve his follower’s power was that he was going to look for the Ancient City of the Shifter Emperor.


    He guessed that the Ancient City would be filled with dangers. If he wanted to control the entire Ancient City and rebuild the Shifter’s city, it would be very difficult.


    “Hopefully I could get some more Evolution Pills, and use them to increase my ranks.”


    After running for a while, he then arrived at the Greenwind Tiger’s territory.


    “Come out, Yanhu, Heifeng.”


    “See, told you our Boss loves us the most! He definitely would have us improve our Bloodline,” Heifeng said proudly as soon as he came out.


    “Stop wasting time and go kill some monsters!” Jiang Fengmanded the two tigers as he rolled his eyes at them.


    “Roar! Little cubs, your uncles are here!” Yanhu and Heifeng yelled out as they headed towards the Greenwind Tiger after nodding.


    ...


    In the next two days, he didn’t do much and kept on improving the Bloodline of his followers.


    To maintain their Bloodline’s purity, he looked for monsters that were of the same race as his followers and fused them.


    In two days, all eight of his followers had reached 100% on the Bloodline.


    Perhaps because of his very high luck, he managed to get 4 Evolution Pills and 2 drops of Bloodline. Now, he had 5 Evolution Pills on him.


    “Little Feng, if I take the Golden Pill and evolve into a Divine Beast, will that break my curse?” Xiao Longnu asked as she looked at the Golden Pill in Jiang Feng’s hand and gave it some thought.


    Jiang Feng looked at her, then shook his head and said, “No, your Bloodline and purity value aren’t full yet, so you can’t evolve. Eating it won’t give you any benefits.”


    “Then, how do I increase my Bloodline and purity value?” She asked.


    “I need to fuse you with other Dragon types and assimte their bloodline!” Jiang Feng continued, “However, Dragons are generally too powerful. There’s nothing we can do against them, and the fusion rate isn’t that high either.”


    “Is there any other way?” Xiao Longnu asked again.


    Looking at Xiao Longnu’s eyes filled with expectancy, Jiang Feng couldn’t help but asked with curiosity. “What’s it with you today? Something feels off with you.”


    Xiao Longnu lowered her head embarrassingly, and whispered, “I am even weaker than Yanhu now, and I will only be your burden. I wish to break the curse on me so that I can help you better!”


    ‘My dear, I also want to break your curse. Then, I would have an Immortal-level follower. But there’s nothing I can do too, but where can I go find Divine Dragon Blood for you?’ Jiang Feng felt touched after hearing Xiao Longnu’s words but also felt helpless.


    Ten Thousand years ago after the Great Divine-Infernal War, almost all the dragons as the Divine Beast Lever were dead. It would be exceedingly difficult to find a Divine Dragon.


    “There is another way. You know, finding ten drops of Divine Dragon Blood,” He replied even though Xiao Longnu kept on looking at him hopefully.


    Xiao Longnu was somewhat disappointed and said, “I see. It seems that there is still no way to break the curse on this body?”


    “Wait a minute!” Jiang Feng suddenly remembered something when he saw Xiao Longnu’s disappointment, and his eyes were brimming, “Last time, when I transmuted the Earthcover Dragon, the System said that I failed my transmutation. That means the Earthcover Dragon’s body must still be with the gnomes! If I could transmute it a few more times, maybe I could get some more Divine Dragon Blood!”


    He was ovee with excitement when he remembered that, and decided to go visit the gnomes once more.


    He returned Xiao Longnu back into the Qiankun Gourd, nced at the map, and then ran towards the Crouching Dragon Range to the north from Greenwind Ridge.


    In order to prevent himself from catching the attention of other yers, he chose the small paths that were dested. If there were too many people, he had no choice but to use the Float skill and fly into the air.


    Most of the yers had reached around Level 27 at this stage. There were many yers at the territories of Level 20 to 30 monsters.


    ‘Sometimes I really wish I could party up like the yers and farm monsters, chat and probably go into a quarrel or something. Unfortunately, I’m just a monster now. I hope that I can one day be the most powerful being so that I could announce my identity!’ He sighed as he thought to himself when he looked at the yers that were in a party and fighting monsters.


    At this point, he really wanted to grow and be something akin to a Divine Beast.


    After a dozen minutes, he had finally reached the Crouching Dragon Range, near the Cave of the Undead.


    He tried to remember the path that the Gnomes took. He avoided the Cave of the Undead and headed deeper into the Crouching Dragon Range.


    ng.


    ng.


    When he was deep in the Crouching Dragon Mountains and passed a mine shaft, he heard the sounds of mining from within.


    It was impossible to have any yers here, then this must be where the Gnomes were mining. He went in to take a look.


    As he heard the sounds of mining from within the mine, Jiang Feng raised an eyebrow and climbed into another shaft that was hidden better.
