Undead Mage from a Cell

[Dragon Valley Teleportation Gate (Large, Special): Use 25,000 resources, 30 units of stone, 30 units of wood, 30 units of metal, 50 units of sulfur, 50 units of gems, and 50 units of crystals to construct a Dragon Valley Teleportation Gate (Large Building) in the city.

After completion, the teleportation gate can be opened once a week to enter the Dragon Valley (random).

Before construction, a Level 5 Magic Tower (Core Building), a Level 3 Blacksmith Shop (Core Building), or at least a Level 1 Dragon Cliff, Dragon Cave, Cloud Hall, or Sky Temple must be built first.]

When Gu Xi first saw the Dragon Valley, it might not have meant much to him.

However, upon discovering that this teleportation gate could be opened once a week, allowing easy access to the Dragon Valley, Gu Xi realized its importance.

The Dragon Valley, Dragon Country, and Dragon’s Tomb are the three major gathering points for the Dragon Race.

Dragon Valley is essentially the birthplace of giant dragons; as long as a giant dragon is born and raised here, it qualifies as Dragon Valley.

Of course, places where only one or two giant dragons grow up usually don’t boast about it.

The smallest Dragon Valley typically produces ten to fifteen young dragons annually.

A larger Dragon Valley might produce around fifty to sixty young dragons a year, equivalent to the number required for a large Dragon Country.

Dragon Country is where young dragons gather after reaching adulthood. Generally, a Dragon Country hosts fifty to sixty giant dragons, who guard numerous treasures there.

Over time, the number of giant dragons in a Dragon Country increases.

Some massive Dragon Countries even dominate an entire world.

One could say that Dragon Country is a manifestation and guarantee of the power of giant dragons.

As for the last, Dragon’s Tomb is particularly related to Gu Xi.

If this time Fang Kang brought out an architectural design plan for a Dragon’s Tomb Teleportation Gate.

No question about it, Gu Xi would trade all the architectural design plans he had in hand for it.

Because Dragon’s Tomb is one of the destinations for deceased giant dragons.

Apart from those who died in battle, most elderly giant dragons, upon sensing their impending death, would head toward Dragon’s Tomb.

There they await the arrival of death.

Such places are bound to have large numbers of Bone Dragons, Ghost Dragons, and sometimes even Dragon Liches.

The older the Dragon’s Tomb, the more of these entities reside there.

With Gu Xi’s abilities as a Death Lord, finding a Dragon’s Tomb would basically render further writing unnecessary.

Beyond that point, it would surely be a path of slaughter and forward momentum.

But even now, for Gu Xi, Dragon Valley is already sufficient.

This is worth five times its value, and Fang Kang’s reasoning is quite logical.

Seeing the change in Gu Xi’s expression, Fang Kang knew Gu Xi accepted the deal.

At this moment, he gestured towards Gu Xi.

Gu Xi was momentarily puzzled, then understood Fang Kang’s intention. With the function of the Eye of the Soul activated, a message appeared in Fang Kang’s mind.

"Is there anything else?"

"Yes, this architectural design plan was something I snatched back from my enemy.

I’m not sure if he also has a copy of the same plan.

If he does, gates built from the same architectural design plan can be connected using a method few know about. I’d like you to do me a favor."

"Kill your opponent?"

Gu Xi glanced at Fang Kang.

Though the benefits provided were substantial, Gu Xi wasn’t the type to assist in cold-blooded murder.

"No, the conflict between us doesn’t warrant that, and the one above me wouldn’t allow us to hire assassins.

Instead, if you encounter such a situation, I’d like you to take this with you."

As Fang Kang spoke, he pointed under the architectural design plan for the Dragon Valley Teleportation Gate.

Gu Xi looked at Fang Kang, then opened the architectural design plan for the Dragon Valley Teleportation Gate.

Beneath this architectural design plan was a formula titled Dragon Awakening Incense.

[Dragon Awakening Incense (Alchemy Formula): Used in the Alchemy Laboratory, it can prepare a fragrance that attracts dragon types. Produced Dragon Awakening Incense benefits dragons and can put them at ease, making it the best material for diplomacy with giant dragons.]

Reading the description of the Dragon Awakening Incense formula, Gu Xi was a bit puzzled.

This thing clearly had no issues. Why did Fang Kang specifically want him to take it?

At that point, Fang Kang said through the Eye of the Soul, "You don’t need to ask any questions, just take it. If you don’t mind, you can take it every time.

I pointed it out to let you know that I’m scheming against my enemy with this, but it has nothing to do with you. Just take it over there.

Oh, and if possible, prepare more Dragon Awakening Incense. It’s something the Dragon Race particularly likes, and they’ll purchase it in large quantities whenever it’s available."

Fang Kang’s straightforward explanation left Gu Xi somewhat speechless.

After all, for Gu Xi, this wasn’t a bad thing.

At the very least, the Dragon Awakening Incense was needed by the Dragon Race, which brought Gu Xi closer to them.

Upon returning, Gu Xi could establish contact with many dragons through the route of Dragon Valley.

By then, Gu Xi could have as many dragons as he wanted.

Hearing this, Gu Xi said nothing further and put away all the architectural design plans he had shown Fang Kang.

Their transaction was complete.

Most importantly, Fang Kang secretly entrusted some matters to Gu Xi.

This way, Gu Xi would cooperate with some of Fang Kang’s actions, minimizing guesswork.

As Gu Xi put away these architectural design plans, Fang Kang stood up.

"Brother Gu, you can take these architectural design plans to the auction house south of the Anomalous Fire Dragon Cave. They have a small auction every day, a large auction every three days, and a full-day auction every ten days.

The quality of your items is top-notch; as soon as they’re revealed, major guilds and noble families will vie for them.

You should look for a professional auction house over there.

If you have any special requirements, they can handle cross-shipment as well."

"What does cross-shipment mean?"

"It means you can tell them what you want, and your items will be placed at the auction house for them to handle.

They’ll ensure you get what you want, and whatever they earn during cross-shipment has nothing to do with you.

However, doing it this way saves a lot of hassle.

If you have time, you can handle cross-shipment yourself. Buying low and selling high will eventually yield the items you desire.

But that’ll consume much more time."
