The establishment of Tang’s Pill Shop in the newly built Iron Bone Town had tremendous impact!

From a distance perspective, Iron Bone Town was obviously more convenient than Central Venerable Province. Since families and martial cultivators from surrounding provinces had needs, they definitely wouldn’t seek far when near was available.

With major family businesses settling in Iron Bone Town, it immediately attracted martial artists from all corners of the world. As long as they entered, they would definitely consume—if not buying supplies, they at least needed food and lodging, right?

So Auntie Wang’s Fortune Inn was full every day, business booming.

The town was just in its development stage, primarily focused on building reputation and attracting traffic. Once it scaled up in the future, Jun Changxiao would definitely find ways to profit from it.

“Sect Master Jun.”

Tang Ren sat in the mansion’s great hall and smiled, “The pill shop established here, my Tang Family will only hang our name. All profits will go to your honorable sect.”

To establish deeper ties with Jun Changxiao, he didn’t care about profits. After all, other provinces could continue developing.

Moreover.

As the pill business grew more successful, the old master also frequently called him for heart-to-heart talks, occasionally discussing business and future family industry planning.

Tang Ren understood this was his gaining recognition.

In the past, although occasionally called over, it wasn’t this frequent.

Coming to Southwest Yang Province to visit Eternal Sect—this move was right, absolutely right.

Cousin, Uncle.

Thank you for magnanimously letting me have this remote sect, otherwise how could I have gradually gained the old master’s approval?

Jun Changxiao cupped his fists, “Then Jun will respectfully accept rather than decline.”

Hey.

This fellow wasn’t being modest at all.

Tang Ren said, “Sect Master Jun, Tang also operates other businesses. I wonder if I could establish branches in Iron Bone Town?”

He could see that Jun Changxiao wanted to vigorously develop Iron Bone Town. With the Ai Family auction house and pill shop there, development prospects were excellent, also having investment value.

“No problem.” Jun Changxiao said.

Since he wanted to create a martial way holy land for the world to worship, Iron Bone Town must have complete facilities. The Tang Family’s various businesses settling in would undoubtedly attract more attention.

…

A few days later.

The businesses Tang Ren mainly operated established branches in Iron Bone Town.

There were weapon shops, armor shops, and the highlight was naturally the spirit stone shop.

A town that had just been established, without even a full permanent population, already had complete facilities—this was truly impressive.

“Tsk tsk.”

Many martial artists entering the town, walking on the main street with all kinds of martial way shops, all exclaimed in amazement, “Even provincial cities probably aren’t better than this!”

“Sect Master.”

Li Qingyang said, “The town was built a bit small, but we can expand at any time.”

“No rush.”

Jun Changxiao said, “One step at a time.”

His main focus was still on sect development. With the town built, let it develop naturally.

“Go call Zilin here.” Jun Changxiao said.

“Yes.”

Li Qingyang withdrew.

Just after leaving, Zilin Demon King walked in, a toothpick in his mouth, looking quite comfortable.

Seeing him wearing red underwear, Jun Changxiao said, “Where’s your school uniform?”

“Uncomfortable to wear.”

Zilin Demon King said, “I took it off.”

Jun Changxiao collapsed, “Are you an exhibitionist?”

“If you have something to say, say it. If not, I’ll go stand guard.” Zilin Demon King said.

Knowing this fellow was a spirit beast and somewhat rebellious, Jun Changxiao didn’t mind and seriously asked, “What egg were you talking about?”

Originally quite cocky, upon hearing the word “egg,” Zilin Demon King almost felt like crouching in a corner crying.

Damn it.

If this King hadn’t been after this egg, would I have ended up in this situation!

However, thinking again.

Eating the little girl’s cooking every day, seemed like not such a bad deal.

This King was no longer the King of before, forgetting royal ambitions after just a few days!

“This… I said the egg was guarded by the Fire Dragon Beast.” Zilin Demon King said.

Sure enough, it was related to Little Dragon.

Jun Changxiao asked curiously, “Did you lay that egg?”

Zilin Demon King’s facial expression suddenly froze, then he lost control of his emotions and roared, “This King is male, how could I possibly lay an egg!”

“Then who laid it?” Jun Changxiao said.

Zilin Demon King calmed down and said irritably, “I found this egg.”

“Where did you find it?”

“The Upper Realm.”

Upper Realm?

Jun Changxiao’s eyes showed astonishment, “Come on, tell This Seat the whole story completely. If you hide anything, you won’t be allowed in the dining hall to eat anymore.”

Zilin Demon King said angrily, “You’re threatening me!”

“Yes.”

“…”

Zilin Demon King clenched his fists.

Thinking that if he really couldn’t eat Liu Wanshi’s cooking, how could he live his days ahead?

“Sigh.”

He sighed and said, “Here’s what happened.”

…

Zilin Demon King wasn’t native to Star Fall Continent. He came from the Upper Realm.

Unlike He Wudi, who couldn’t produce the manual and was forced to come down, he had committed some offense up there.

Back then, he didn’t know who told him that eating dragon eggs could increase cultivation by thousands of years, so in a moment of rashness he sneaked to dragon clan territory to steal eggs.

He did steal an egg, but was also discovered.

Zilin Demon King’s strength in the Lower Realm would definitely be invincible, but facing dragon clan powerhouses, he certainly couldn’t win, so he could only enter fugitive mode.

On the road.

No matter if he boiled, stewed, or even smashed the stolen egg, it wouldn’t open.

Not only did his strength not improve at all, he was also hunted all over the world by dragon clan powerhouses—undoubtedly very tragic.

With no other choice, he could only forcibly tear through space and escape to Star Fall Continent, but during the crossing process, he inevitably suffered heaven and earth restrictions, his realm suppressed terribly.

“So.”

Jun Changxiao’s eyes lit up, “What you stole was a dragon egg!”

“More than just a dragon egg!”

Zilin Demon King said seriously, “Later when I was fleeing, I heard that it was a Five-Claw Dragon egg that the dragon clan produces only once in a hundred thousand years. Once hatched, with just casual cultivation for tens of thousands of years, definitely Emperor of the Dragon Clan!”

Hearing this, Jun Changxiao’s eyes widened.

He had previously fantasized infinitely that this body’s original owner’s parents might be great powers, that he was hiding a great identity, but unexpectedly it was Little Dragon hiding secrets!

“No wonder the little fellow condensed a Five-Claw Dragon form. It’s not an illusion, but its true original body!”

Jun Changxiao understood.

Dragons were definitely the most supreme creatures.

Five-Claw Dragons were even the symbol of imperial authority. To actually become his contract beast—that was too awesome!

“You stole a future Emperor of the Dragon Clan, naturally they’d hunt you all over the world—you deserved it.” Jun Changxiao said.

Mentioning this, Zilin Demon King felt like crying.

I just wanted to improve my strength, then lead my subordinates to carve out a piece of the world. Why did I steal this of all things—a Five-Claw Dragon egg!

Causing such huge trouble, the Upper Realm was no longer livable, so he could only come to the Lower Realm to avoid the storm.

The shitty thing was.

In Star Fall Continent, after recovering from injuries somewhat and gathering local beast hordes, preparing to accomplish great deeds, before even acting he was suppressed by a Wusheng.

“Then what?” Jun Changxiao said.

Zilin Demon King continued. Actually, there wasn’t much more—nothing but bringing the egg down, trying every method to smash it open, fantasizing about eating it to increase cultivation, but repeatedly failing. Before being sealed, he came up with a terrible idea—use a Fire Dragon Beast to hatch it!

Jun Changxiao collapsed, “Please, although both have the word ‘dragon,’ they’re not the same species at all.”

“I had no other choice!” Zilin Demon King said frantically.

Those years, no one understood being hunted so miserably by so many dragon clan powerhouses because of an egg, and no one could understand the pain of looking at an egg only able to望梅止渴.

And this… was his lost youth.

Jun Changxiao sipped tea and smiled, “Lucky you had that idea, letting This Seat accidentally obtain a Five-Claw Dragon egg and possess a contract beast with such an awesome identity.”

Zilin Demon King was shocked, “The egg hatched?!”
