Half a day later, the sunlight shone on the sparkling sea, creating a breathtaking scene.

However, the half-human, half-beast dragon-bearded tiger standing on the beach looked at the vast sea with a worried expression and said with doubt:

"Master, we don't seem to have any connection with the Four Seas Dragon Palace before, are you sure they'll be willing to lend a hand?"

Jiang Ziya smiled slightly, his face revealing an indescribable confidence and composure. He gently stroked his beard and slowly said:

"Who says we have no connection with the Dragon Palace of the Four Seas? Isn't your Uncle-Master Huanglong a member of the Dragon Clan?"

Upon hearing this, Long Xuhu's brows did not relax; instead, he appeared even more hesitant.

He hesitated for a moment, then spoke:

"But Master, didn't you tell me a few days ago that a few years ago, the Four Seas Dragon Palace went to Jade Void Palace to see Uncle Huanglong, but they were directly driven off Kunlun Mountain? Now that we're going to their door directly, won't we be driven out in the same way?"

"They dare?"

Jiang Ziya's eyes widened, but he quickly regained his composure:

"That was the day when the Four Seas Dragon Clan came to Jade Void Palace once every ten years to deliver treasures to your Uncle Huanglong. They thought they could impress our Jade Void Palace with some mere treasures. How utterly ridiculous! Why would our Jade Void Palace care about those things?"

"Now that the treasure has been delivered, we can leave directly. But those dragons actually want to see you, Uncle Huanglong. Isn't that a clear sign that they don't trust us? If they don't trust us, why bother going to Jade Void Palace? Just leave!"

As he spoke, Jiang Ziya shook his head with a look of disgust:

"It's just some dragon silk gauze, Xuanming True Water, dragon blood coral, and thousand-year-old turtle jelly, nothing special. It's always the same things. I'm so tired of seeing them. They actually think that they can get Senior Brother Huanglong to do them a favor by bringing these things. They're really dreaming!"

Jiang Ziya spoke dismissively, but Long Xuhu, standing to the side, was completely bewildered.

He blinked, looked at Jiang Ziya, and a puzzled expression appeared on his face:

"Master, the dragon silk you mentioned is woven by the merfolk of the South Sea and refined using the secret methods of the dragon race. When the silk is finished, it is impervious to water and fire and cannot be damaged by weapons. It is the dragon silk used to make the exclusive robes of the Twelve Golden Immortals?"

"The Xuanming True Water is a top-grade spiritual material produced at the extremely cold bottom of the North Sea. A single drop can freeze a thousand miles. It is used for alchemy, weapon forging, and comprehending water-based supernatural abilities?"

"And then there's the Dragon Blood Coral, which is a top-tier spiritual object for strengthening the body, requiring the essence of dragon blood to cultivate and withstand nine thousand washes of moonlight tides without breaking?"

"Millennial tortoise jelly is made by simmering the shell of a ten-thousand-year-old tortoise with secret medicines from the Dragon Palace. It is a holy product for healing injuries that can rebuild meridians and heal physical wounds."

Dragon silk gauze, Xuanming True Water, Dragon Blood Coral, and Thousand-Year-Old Tortoise Jelly—each of these items was a treasure that Longxuhu had never dared to dream of before.

Now, in Jiang Ziya's words, these are just ordinary local specialties. With these things, the people of the Four Seas Dragon Palace don't even have the right to ask Huanglong Zhenren for an audience.

Could it be that the things I remember are not the same as the dragon silk gauze, Xuanming True Water, dragon blood coral and thousand-year turtle jelly that my master mentioned?

Seeing Longxuhu's incredulous expression, Jiang Ziya looked disgusted.

"Look at you, so naive. These are just some specialties from the Dragon Palace. What's the big deal? If you like them when we get back to Jade Void Palace, I'll talk to my senior brother and ask him to get you some."

"Master Uncle?"

A hint of doubt flashed in Longxuhu's eyes:

"Master, didn't you say these things were given to Uncle Huanglong by the Four Seas Dragon Palace? Shouldn't we be asking Uncle Huanglong for them? Why are we asking our eldest uncle?"

Upon hearing Long Xuhu's question, Jiang Ziya's face instantly darkened. He glared at Long Xuhu fiercely and said irritably:

"What do you know? Your Uncle Huanglong is a Golden Immortal. These things are just insignificant trinket to him. He has long since stopped using them."

"In that case, these things should naturally be contributed for the use of other disciples of the Chan Sect, and it would be most appropriate for you, my senior uncle, to manage them?"

"Moreover, over the years, your Uncle Huanglong has used a lot of resources within the Chan Sect. Now that he is contributing some special products from the Dragon Palace, it can make up for his deficits from previous years."

As he spoke, Jiang Ziya waved his hand impatiently and said:

"Alright, stop wasting time. Go to the West Sea Dragon Palace now and report to them. The sooner we get the people from the Four Seas Dragon Palace, the sooner I can return to Xiqi!"

Although Longxuhu still had doubts, Jiang Ziya had already spoken, so he didn't press further. He simply responded softly, looked up at the vast Western Sea before him, and said loudly:

"Jiang Ziya, a disciple of the Chan Sect, is visiting the West Sea. The Dragon Palace of the West Sea, come quickly to welcome him!"

Half an hour later

West China Sea

Ao Run's expression was icy, and his gaze towards Jiang Ziya was full of mockery:

"Jiang Ziya, five years ago, you and your fellow disciples personally drove us four siblings out of the Jade Void Palace. Today, you actually dare to come to my West Sea Dragon Palace. What gave you such courage?"

Jiang Ziya smiled awkwardly:

“Ao Run, what happened back then was actually a misunderstanding. At that time, Uncle-Master Huanglong happened to be away from Yuxu Palace, and we brothers had no choice but to let you go down the mountain earlier. We absolutely did not mean to drive you away!”

Ao Run sneered, his mockery deepening:

"Jiang Ziya, do you think I, Ao Run, am an idiot? We know perfectly well what you and your fellow disciples have done all these years! Do you think we don't know that the treasures we sent to Yuxu Palace have all been divided up by you and your fellow disciples?"

“Every ten years, the four of us siblings would use all the resources of the Dragon Palace of the Four Seas to collect all sorts of rare treasures and send them to the Jade Void Palace. What was the purpose of that? Do you really think we sent those things for Grandpa Yellow Dragon to use?”

"We sent those things to your Jade Void Palace so that you would know that behind Grandpa Huanglong is our entire dragon clan, with the endless wealth of our Four Seas Treasure Pavilion. We hope that you fellow disciples of the Chan Sect will show more kindness to Grandpa Huanglong in your daily lives, considering the many treasures sent by our Four Seas Dragon Palace."

"But what did you do? You should never have told Grandpa Huanglong that our Four Seas Dragon Palace sent you treasures. You should never have taken my Dragon Palace's treasures without permission and been so smug. You should never have used the endless benefits of my Four Seas Dragon Palace while constantly belittling Grandpa Huanglong in the Jade Void Palace."

As she spoke, Ao Run's tears fell one after another into the West Sea, splashing water droplets.
