After travelling for more than a day, Rocky finally returned to the Crimson City. The moment he set foot
on the area, the women who had been waiting for him anxiously rushed towards him and asked about
the result. One of the women asked, "So, what did His Majesty say?" Rocky replied, "Well, it looks like
this is a good day for us. My father has agreed."
"I see. I assume that you will be very preoccupied very soon." Isis could not help but grumble. She
knew well enough that Rocky would be drowned in extensive work in the next couple of days. This also
meant that he would not have the luxury of time to bond with her and Nigel.
"I won't be the only one who will be busy. For sure, you'll be, too. After all, this plan needs a lot of
people to be executed right. No one can stay idle on my watch, not even you," Rocky explained in a
mellow tone.
"What? Why are you involving us in this matter?" From the other side of the room, Shirley heard
Rocky's words and scowled at him.
Isis and the rest of the ladies nodded in agreement. All of them wore disapproving looks on their faces
as they pretended to dislike Rocky's plan.
Rocky, on the other hand, seemed to have no choice but to enlighten them with the specifics of the
entire scheme.
"Hear me out. In addition to the humanitarian assistance, we will also make some secret arrangements
in the said small countries. Therefore, what we need is a group of trustworthy people to go in there for
the sake of safety," Rocky expounded.
"From what you've said, I'm getting the impression that you want us to get involved in this plan and
assure its smooth execution. Is that what you're trying to say?" Lucilla remarked. After all, she was
smart enough that she could read between the lines.
"Exactly. There are things that I can't do because I have only myself. Plus, I don't trust others. That's
why I have to turn to you," Rocky replied while nodding his head, trying his best to convince the ladies
present.
Meanwhile, the women exchanged glances at each other. Surely, they were aware that Rocky treated
this plan of building the united empires with great importance.
"I guess you think we are annoying. Maybe that's why you deliberately keep on finding an excuse to let
us leave so that you can bring some of the other beautiful women back here," Shirley said on purpose.
"If that's the case, then you can stay with me and supervise me if you want to. When that happens, we
will have a lot of time to be alone," Rocky said as a sly smile crept on his face.
"Who would even want to be alone with you? You are delusional!" Shirley rambled and blushed at the
same time.
The other women saw this and could not help but snicker and not utter a word.
Soon after, they had started to carefully carry out the plan. Fortunately for Rocky, he had the
unwavering support of the entire Holy Dragon Empire, making it easier for him to carry out and execute
his plan.
After half a month, he had successfully managed to collect a large number of materials. Not long after,
they distributed the materials to some small countries that suffered from the war.
But of course, to play it safe, Rocky picked the small countries around the Holy Dragon Empire for
humanitarian assistance first. At the same time, he transferred some powerful spirit manipulators and
the troops from the four legions to form three escort groups.
Sabina, Shirley, and Lucilla led each of these escort groups as they marched forward.
They brought a batch of materials to three small countries to provide humanitarian assistance.
This act of the Holy Dragon Empire had caused a stir and caught everyone's attention in the entire Wild
Spirit Land. The Holy Dragon Empire, which had sustained a lot of hardships before, had surprisingly
offered human and material resources to help other countries in war as soon as they could breathe
from all the distress. It might be considered as a stupid move to some people, but no one knew that
they were actually up to something bigger.
As they carried out the plan, Rocky also tried his best to speed up the study of genes, especially the
gene experiments on human beings. Of course, he became very meticulous in hiring his volunteers so
that he could perform the human gene experiments to his standard. He needed a hundred volunteers
to participate in his experiments that would surely change the dynamic of the whole Wild Spirit Land.
Last but not least, he ensured and observed safety measures while performing these experiments. The
human genome was not as complicated as that of a spirit-manipulated beast. Thus, the experiments
conducted on human genes were actually easier and less risky compared with the experiments done in
spirit-manipulated beasts.
Meanwhile, the genetic modification plan of the spirit-manipulated beasts in the four legions went as
smoothly as they had expected. Seeing this, Rocky began to expand the scale of the plan into a whole
new level.
However, Rocky suddenly knitted his brows. "This is not right. I think something is missing," Rocky
mumbled to himself. Not long after, a delicate figure entered his lab and somehow made him remember
what he had forgotten.
"Oh, you're here. Have you finished refining the pills?" Rocky inquired as he looked at the delicate
figure in front of him.
This figure in front of him was none other than Kayla, whom Rocky had asked to refine pills for him to
help him break through to the Immortal Stage.
"I've already finished refining them two days ago, but I didn't see you, so I delivered them here by
myself. If the matriarch hadn't urged me to bring them to you, you might have lost it," Kayla teased as
she took out a pill bottle from her pocket and threw it playfully to Rocky.
After taking it, Rocky felt something strange about the bottle—it was very light. He shook it and heard
nothing but a muffled sound. Soon after, he looked up at Kayla and asked, "Is this right? Why is there
only one pill here?"
"A thing is valued in proportion to its rarity. This Mysterious Spirit Pill is equal to dozens of Holy Spirit
Panaceas. If you can completely refine it, then it won't be a problem for you to reach the stage above
the Immortal Stage. And with the power hidden in your body, it should be completely possible. I spent
half a month refining the Mysterious Spirit Pill. In fact, I used a lot of precious flowers and plants as
auxiliary herbs to refine it. So, don't waste my efforts! Otherwise, you will surely suffer!" Kayla jokingly
threatened. Without a doubt, there was truth to what she had said. She had used many rare ingredients
to refine the Mysterious Spirit Pill, along with a lot of time and energy.
"Thank you." Rocky nodded gratefully.
"Sure. I'm leaving." Kayla didn't say anything more and disappeared in a hurry.
Immediately, Rocky put away the Mysterious Spirit Pill carefully. He planned to refine it with the help of
the Sea Blue Magic Jade after Sabina and the others had returned from their humanitarian assistance
to some small countries. He believed that in this way, he could get twice the result with half the effort.
The next day, Marcia sent Rocky a message along with a topographic map. In the message, she told
him that there were exact clues about the colored pearl's location and hoped that he could go there and
find it.
Originally, the Three Great Generals had been in charge of searching for the colored pearls. But now,
all of them were occupied with their own respective tasks. Not long ago, Rocky also knew about the
holy treasure of the Dragon Master Clan, so he was the one to take responsibility for this treasure at
this time.
He believed that as long as he gathered all nine colored pearls, he could find the holy treasure of the
Dragon Master Clan. Moreover, with the clues hidden behind the holy treasure, he might be able to
solve the mystery of the death of those beings in the Myriad Spirit Tomb, or even reveal the astonishing
secrets of the spiritual race. Without wasting time, Rocky had already prepared himself to set off after
receiving Marcia's message.
