The sea dragons were fine coming to the heavenly realm; they were already a part of the ruler under heaven, but even if Awang had two bouts of courage, he would not dare to go to the Jade Forbidden Palace in Kunlun Mountain. Much less with precious treasures of heaven and earth to bribe Yuan Shi Tianzun. Now Phoenix had let go of half the dragon race, leaving Kuilong to take the blame. This handling seemed fine too.
Aoguang was only in charge of the finances; he didn't want to and dared not meddle in the disputes between the dragon family elders.
"Okay, let's follow the friend!"
The dragon families returned to the East Sea, all looking nervous and jittery. They praised the four seas' dragon kings verbally, then went home to their respective families. The first thing they did upon arrival was to sleep, in order to relieve their nerves. As for Kuilong? Who's that? We don't even know him!
Aoguang did not return to the East Sea. As the old dragon king shed tears of pain, the Phoenix, rarely, made a serious suggestion.
"There is a marketplace in the underworld where the spirits exchange goods and are known as the Ghost Market. The official, in consultation with Jiuming Star, has previously discussed that although the Ghost Market is good, it does not have face to the heavens and lacks dignity. It cannot reflect the splendor of Tian Temple. Tian Temple should build a larger, more standardized marketplace."
The timing of the appearance of the money that can transform into treasure was too late; the concept of currency had not yet formed. Now, in the three realms, the forms of trade are approximately zero; they are mostly self-sufficient models.
Before, Deng Changyu needed some crystal stones and had to dig them herself on Tai Mountain. This was virtually intolerable for Deng, who had become accustomed to buying things with her phone. Although she found a free labor force to help, it took two months to dig just one stone. It was extremely inconvenient.
Establish a true Daoist marketplace where goods and services can be exchanged, benefiting all the deities of the Prehistoric Era.
Deng ChanYu had a thin family fortune and limited manpower, and she also didn't want to be the one who stands out as a beam. As a result, she never pursued the matter. Now, seeing the lavish spending by the Four Seas Dragon Kings, she saw the possibility of establishing a fairy marketplace.
In building palaces, pavilions, martial arts fields, and other constructions, their family wealth has indeed been cleaned out. However, the water species under them still have some resources. Given the bloodline obedience characteristic of the dragon race, they can quickly gather enough wealth by plundering again from below.
It's better to take them out and use them to inspire others than to let them collect dust in the storeroom. Why not use them to establish this Daoist marketplace?
"This matter needs to be discussed with my brothers at home."
The vast East Sea Dragon Palace is managed well, thanks to the ancestral legacy as well as Aoguang's own capabilities.
He naturally understood the benefits of establishing a marketplace, and the issue of attracting too much attention was something he could address. They were already very popular, so a bit more wouldn't matter. If they couldn't hold on to it, they could give the entire marketplace to Hao Tian without any loss to themselves.
He asked, "What regulations are there for the establishment of this marketplace?"
Phoenix shook her head, explaining that she just wanted the convenience of the market and not to collect wealth: "I don't know, but I can ask Taibai Xingjin for the Dragon King."
Asking Jiuming Star is equivalent to asking Hao Tian. Aoguang naturally understands the essence of the matter and nods eagerly: "This is very good, very good."
He walked out step by step, but as he took three steps, he suddenly remembered something and his face showed a clear hesitation.
The Phoenix was not in a hurry either and waited for him to speak.
Aoguang pondered for a moment before deciding to say directly, "I wonder if the True Immortal has ever heard of Jingwei?"
The story of Jingwei Feng filling the sea is well-known among children, and the Phoenix knows it not only in this life but also in previous lives.
"Slightly heard."
Aoguang pondered for a moment and said, "In the past, the daughter of Emperor Yan drowned in the East Sea. After her death, her spirit refused to enter the wheel of reincarnation and transformed into a phoenix spirit bird, vowing to fill in the East Sea."
He smiled awkwardly and said, "Jingwei and the seagull married, and their descendants of the Jingwei race swore to fill in the East Sea by carrying branches and stones. Their spirit is commendable indeed, but this feat is impossible to achieve. The True Immortal might persuade them to give up this idea."
Is this related to me? A question mark appeared above the phoenix's head.
What are the relations between the dragon and phoenix tribes? They are hostile to each other.
What is the Jingwei bird? It belongs to the avian species.
