In the past, the Dragon Clan had spent enormous amounts of money to secure many official positions, serving in the heavenly realm while also receiving protection from some of the heavenly aura.
Official positions can be bestowed, and naturally, they can also be revoked.
With the unraveling of the ancestor dragon's conspiracy, Mengzhang, accompanied by several dragon offspring, fled far. The Dragon Clan's positions in heaven were stripped to the lowest rank, and now Ao Guang and the others were left with the title of Sea Dragon King, an office within their aquatic system rather than under heaven's appointment.
The contemporary Yu Gong desires a government post and wants to secure a hereditary position for his descendants, willing to sacrifice his own life for it.
The Dragon Palace shares the same thoughts, the Dragon Clan's desire for rights is much greater than those of the Phoenix, Rhinoceros, and Unicorn clans. They want both wealth and power, but their previous path to advancement was closed by Heaven. Now that Heaven is willing to give them another chance, Ao Guang starts to feel tempted.
The spiritual materials in the sea are countless, and offering a portion in exchange for an official position does not conflict with their values.
Ao Guang hesitated and asked, "The Small Dragon still has some wealth and is willing to contribute to the Holy Waste! However, I just don't know how much financial support is needed to care for the orphans of the other martial gentlemen?"
Where are the martial gentlemen? They are all made up by Deng Chanyu, and Ao Guang may not care about the truth or falsehood. However, Deng Chanyu must hold up this banner.
She said with a sad expression, "A coin is fine, or a piece of primordial spiritual material, it all depends on the individual's intentions."
The Taiyang Laozu and Heaven nodded in agreement, "That's right, it's all up to your intentions."
Ao Guang felt extremely uncomfortable, as this intention was indeed difficult to grasp.
If you give too little, the three of them won't agree to it. Is our face really worth that much money? Are you trying to get yourself killed?
If you give too much, he will also feel painful.
In a hurry, he opened the treasury of the Eastern Sea Dragon Palace, allowing the heavenly soldiers brought by Heaven to take whatever they wanted. You think the "orphans" need how much, take how much."
Even if it's emptied, it's just a loss of the treasure in his Dragon Palace. Since the Four Seas Dragon Kings stand and fall together, the other three Dragon Kings will compensate him. From the perspective of this powerful organization, he can send off Deng Chanyu, Taiyi Laojun, and Heaven for just a quarter of the cost, which is considered to be profitable.
Deng Chanyu and the others did not reveal the Dragon King's subtle intentions. It's not possible to complete the construction of the Unbalanced Mountain in just a year or two. A one-time deal is not suitable. There will still be "orphans" born next year, and we will come again!
The Dragon Palace treasury opened its gates, allowing them to take whatever they wanted. Deng Chanyu asked for a batch of sea cargo to take back and improve everyone's diet. Such a small matter, Ao Guang agreed without hesitation.
The sea is abundant in other things, but fish and shrimp are abundant to the point of being a scourge, with an endless supply. As much as needed, there's as much as you want.
The shrimp and crab soldiers do not consider those without any spiritual intelligence as their own kind. Large fish eat small fish, and small fish eat shrimp, the aquatic species eat fish and shrimp, and there are many who enjoy eating fish and shrimp. Deng Chanyu's actions are nothing wrong.
She waved her sleeve, and she swept away countless fish, shrimp, and crabs. Seeing that Ao Guang did not care much, she added a little more.
As one of the workers, she has the same rights as everyone else to take her share, which is reasonable. She can take it home for Little Five to taste. Emei Mountain is too far from the sea, and it's not often that they can enjoy seafood.
Time quickly arrived at the end of the year.
"These are your god's rewards. Take good care of them. Work hard next year," Deng Chanyu, instead of using the traditional Qixuan bag of immortals, piled together various spiritual materials and sea products, looking full and packed several warehouses. She is patient and distributes one by one.
The Great God expressed his deep gratitude, completely unexpecting that there would be an end-of-the-year bonus. It's truly a windfall!
In fact, for the Great God, opening mountains and cutting roads is the most suitable job for him. He was able to become a god because he was able to carve a path on Huashan, and initially, he was not a general but a construction worker. It was Heaven who thought that with his tall stature and strong build, he would be wasted as a general, so he forcefully made him become the leader of the vanguards.
The advantages are not many, being the first to die, and surviving today is a result of the ancestors' protection.
Deng Chanyu was in a good mood and gave a hint to the Great God about his cultivation method being stuck at a bottleneck. The Great God thanked her a thousand times and left with gratitude.
She shouted loudly, "Next!"
Whether it's the more than ten thousand people from Yu Gong's clan, the few heavenly soldiers sent by Heaven, or the idling and bored mortals who joined in the throng, she treats everyone equally, providing equal benefits for all.
A piece of Tianhe sand the size of a fist, which is a very common material for refining weapons.
Three fragrant aromas, which are full of dense incense power, can be used for cultivation.
One must choose between a spiritual elixir and a spiritual sword. The spiritual elixir is the work of Jin Jiao and Yin Jiao, while most of the spiritual swords are forged by Nezha. In Deng Chanyu and Taiyi Laojun's view, what are these? They are all trash. But for ordinary mortals, they are already fine products.
Then there were ten pounds of saury and ten pounds of crabs. Originally, she intended to distribute three pounds each. Deng Chanyu had taken a bit too much, knowing she wouldn't be able to finish them herself, so she simply distributed the rest.
These are all ingredients with spiritual energy. It can't significantly improve their cultivation, but it will definitely strengthen their bodies. Even immortals need a good body. This is clearly evident from their current condition. Their bodies are weak and full of vitality.
Originally, they thought they were doing unpaid labor and playing the role of being exploited. However, to their surprise, there were end-of-the-year bonuses when the Spring Festival was approaching. The spirits of the gods changed significantly. It was unexpected that they would save incense for half a year of cultivation and the spiritual energy in the spiritual materials was very rich. It was enough for an old family to eat for a month after taking it back home.
In the heavenly court, it's all about "discounts," buying and selling at a discount, and in the end, throughout the year, they barely receive enough incense for three months. Now, here they are given half a year's worth directly, which can also exercise their bodies; what a good thing! This can be counted as physical cultivation!
"Ten pounds of salmon, ten pounds of crabs, take them away."
Deng Chanyu looked up just in time to see the Jade Rabbit leap onto her desk and glare at her with anger.
The former Jade Rabbit was as pure as white, every hair was as smooth as silk, like an artwork in motion. At this time, the Jade Rabbit was dirty and looked like a dirty earth dog that had rolled in the mud. Except for the unfriendly gaze towards Deng Chanyu, she had already lost her former appearance.
Deng Chanyu has always had a high tolerance for her hired hands who help her with the work. At this moment, she asked very patiently, "What's up now?"
The Jade Rabbit actually came with a lot of courage.
Saints do not need to display their abilities. Just knowing that they are not easy to deal with is enough. Taiyi Laojun looks like he has no magic power and is just an ordinary old man. However, no one dares to kick him while he's refining his pills because that would be a violation of Dao and law, bringing great pressure.
Deng Chanyu hasn't reached the level of a sage, but she is far beyond the level of the Half-Broken Unbalanced Mountain among the immortals of the Primordial Chaos. In the eyes of the Jade Rabbit and Chang'e, she is even more terrifying than this half-broken Unbalanced Mountain.
