I sat on my chariot, closed my eyes and started regulating my breath. Like last time, energy gushed out from the outer world in torrents through my right arm.

Sigh! This right army secondary dantian of mine was acting like a beast! It showed no bottom to its absorption, not even after my energy got upgraded into pale blue.

This time I was mentally prepared. I ignored the suction of energy and focused onto my feet.

From there, I entered my shadow world. The moment I appeared, I instantly saw the changes that happened here.

My dantian here was the same, but from the central part of it, a thick thread of dark blue energy linked it with the clump of energy nearby.

That link was firm and rigid at my dantian part, growing restless and looking alive-like when it came closer to that energy. It ended up merging with the entire bulk of energy, where its threads kept expanding and shrinking, moving all the time like they were alive.

“So… This is what it ended up like,” I looked at this scene while feeling content from this result. The technique succeeded, creating a bond between my dantian and that bulk of energy.

It was a secure type link, shown clearly from the difference in the two ends of it. I controlled my energy inside my dantian, circulated it and started to absorb the energy from that dark energy.

Once I tried to do it, that energy shone in blue lustre, and its threads movements grew fiercer and stronger..

It seemed like they got startled and stirred by my attempt, yet that didn’t cause any problems. The next moment I felt an immense gush of energy towards that dantian.

The energy that came was dark blue, yet once it mixed with my own pale blue, a new blue appeared for a moment before it turned into pale blue.

Yet when the energy circulated inside the huge structure of my dantian here, the entire dantian started to shine in blue lustre just like the energy itself.

The scene was really amazing. However I didn’t continue doing this.

After all this would be like cutting one’s flesh to cook meat. I wouldn’t do that. I wouldn’t deplete this energy even for a little.

It was better to go out and concentrate on absorbing the outer energy and turn it into mine. This way I’d add more to my energy here, eventually.

Everything was connected. It seemed like a very big structure with complicated nets connecting everything, but they were all connected.

I opened my eyes, thought about what I had to do here. In fact I had nothing that urgent. Everything was handled with all, except for one simple task.

I need ores, special ores that can be used to lay foundations of any city and town. I want ores with special effects, you know what I mean, right?

I recalled what I read before about this kind of ores. In fact humans never had the chance to build their cities and towns using such ores.

But Dragons had! Those bunch of rich folks had the chance to build five of their cities using a special kind of ore.

When humans learnt about it, many regretted not having such wealth or power to do the same. I once read about a city that caused the biggest losses during the three races war.

This one stood against two direct attacks from Selvators and Berserkers. It was rumoured that the ones leading these two armies were paragons, and that just showed how big such a battle was.

Yet the two forces didn’t manage to break through this city’s defences. It wasn’t thanks to the valiant efforts of the defending Dragons, but thanks to the boast gained from the ores lying underneath the city.

Since that battle and the fame of the ores skyrocketed. The other two mighty races in my time managed to get their hands on such ores and started to build strong forts and cities using it.

However for humans, this was just a mere dream, a fantasy one that I decided to turn into reality right here.

You know these are pricey

Not for me

And so damn hard to get large amounts of these!

Not for you

I knew she was just putting out a front to ask for a high price. I was aware now of how this impact was doing business. And to be honest, it was such a good and profitable way to run such a business in such a way.

Also there are lots of such ores, what do you have specifically in mind?

Something that can boast defences and work to facilitate cultivation

This… You know double attribute ores are pricey and rare!

Then you can gather two ores, each with a single attribute helping in doing one of these effects, right?

Hmm… What’s the size of your city we are talking about here?

City? I’m speaking about a kingdom!

Damn! Why does dealing with you always get on my nerves like this?

I laughed when I read her response. I’m just a human, I love to do things in its best way possible

The first human to ever do such a thing actually

Everything must have a start, right?

Ok, give me a minute… I’ll check our stores and see. But damn! Entire kingdom! That’s a sh*t load of ores we are speaking about here!

Let’s start a small delivery, with whatever you got. Then you search for such ores for me, and when you get some, you deliver and I’ll pay

Without even asking about the price? So damn fierce human you are!

Hahaha! I just hate wasting time on hustling and bargaining

Fine, it’s more profitable for me this way. Let me check the store and return back to you

Cool!

I knew she was capable of bringing me lots of ores from the first time. But what would I do later on?

Securing a stable supply route of these ores was important for me, for my kingdom. However I knew this wasn’t going to be an easy task for her and her impact.
