The emperor of the Holy Dragon Empire was not feeling well, so he went back first to rest. Meanwhile,
Rocky and the Three Great Generals went to the Crimson Palace to discuss some critical issues.
"How are Isis and Nigel?" Lance couldn't help but ask about his daughter and grandson.
"They are fine. Father, would you like to go back to Crimson City with me to see them?" asked Rocky
politely. "I can't. The Crimson Dragon Group can finally have a break now.
But I have many military affairs to deal with every day. I can't leave," Lance refused, waving his hand.
"Did Shirley cause you any trouble?" Bryant asked regarding his granddaughter, looking like he was
dreading Rocky's answer.
He was relieved when Rocky shook his head, smiling back at him. "No, she wasn't any trouble. Don't
worry."
"Ha-ha, you don't know how glad I am to hear that! Shirley used to get in trouble frequently back when
she was younger," Bryant said.
"She isn't bad, but she is spoiled. Now, Sabina goes against her every day, and no one in the Crimson
City spoils her. She is no longer arrogant and willful," Rocky said bluntly, implying that Bryant had
spoiled Shirley too much before.
"It's all my fault. Fortunately, you discipline her for me. It seems that her heart is all on you now," Bryant
meaningfully remarked as he stroked the beard.
Hearing that, Rocky smiled bitterly. That was the most troublesome thing for him right now, as the
women around him were not officially married to him, apart from Isis. Although they didn't mind, he still
felt that he needed to find some time to deal with their complicated relationships.
After the brief chat, Rocky and the three generals began to discuss how they could establish the united
empires and the specific arrangements they had to make. This discussion laid a solid foundation for the
development of their plan.
On the second day, Bryant and Lance went back to their own legions because they had many other
things to deal with.
On the other hand, Rocky and Marcia stayed in the Palace City to prepare for the early stage of the
plan. Establishing the coalition could not be done overnight after all. First, it required the participation of
the countries. Therefore, the first step of the plan was to provide humanitarian assistance to some war-
stricken small countries, as Rocky had mentioned before. Through that, the other countries would
perceive the Holy Dragon Empire as a savior, thereby guaranteeing that they had the trust and support
of the countries that had suffered a lot in the war.
After staying in the Palace City for three days and making an early plan, Rocky asked Marcia to stay
and deal with specific matters, while he took the time to go to the Myriad Beasts Ground.
Now, Rocky had reached the ninth grade of the Divine Stage, and he was only one step away from the
Immortal Stage. After the Dragon Master Clan's internal strife last time, he realized that with his current
strength, there was still a considerable gap between him and most of the spiritual masters, elders, and
leaders of the spiritual race. Although Rocky had subdued Glutton, the most powerful demonic beast in
ancient times, his strength was insufficient, and he couldn't control its power. He thought it was
necessary to break through to the Immortal Stage as soon as possible and reach a new level. Although
he had made rapid progress in his cultivation with the women and continuously integrated the seventh
grade of the Holy Dragon Bead's evil power, it was not enough for him to break through to the Immortal
Stage. He could not succeed through cultivation alone and needed better assistance.
This time, he went to the Myriad Beasts Ground, not for Cherry, but Kayla, because he knew that Kayla
was a master of alchemy. Now that he had such strength, the seven Holy Spirit Panaceas that Kayla
had given him had made a significant contribution. Therefore, he intended to ask Kayla to help him
refine a few pills that could help him break through to the Immortal Stage.
A few days later, Rocky arrived at the valley where the Myriad Beasts Ground was located. The
Butterfly Divine Clan had developed in the valley, and many houses were clustered around the area
now. Rocky was pleased when he realized that they had grown self-sufficient. Although there were only
two to three hundred members, they looked vigorous and harmonious.
Rocky's uninvited visit, of course, surprised Cherry and Kayla. Since he took back the spiritual treasure
and the legendary guardian beast for the Butterfly Divine Clan, he had never been to the Myriad Beasts
Ground. He didn't contact them either, so his visit was really out of the blue.
"Why are you here? Is there anything important?" asked Cherry with her beautiful eyes narrowed. She
knew that Rocky would not come if he didn't need anything.
"Matriarch, I think he must be here to talk about the old days with you," Kayla remarked with a
meaningful smile.
Hearing this, Cherry couldn't help but look at Rocky.
"Then I won't bother you anymore." After saying that, Kayla moved to leave, but Rocky stopped her
immediately.
"Wait, I'm here for you," he blurted out. Kayla stopped in her tracks, slowly turning around to stare at
Rocky, her eyes wide from surprise.
"For me?" She looked at Ricky blankly. What would he need her for?
"Yes, I want you to help me refine a few pills that can help me break through to the Immortal Stage,"
Rocky answered straightforwardly.
"Oh, I see. I knew there was nothing good!" Kayla said sarcastically.
"Can you help me?" Rocky asked again insistently, ignoring how she rolled her eyes at him.
"Fine, but it's not easy to refine the pills. If it's just an ordinary pill, it will be easy to refine. However,
since you want pills that can help you break through to the Immortal Stage, it is much more
complicated. It's already troublesome just to find the needed spiritual flowers and herbs. The seven
Holy Spirit Panaceas I gave you before were refined by spiritual flowers and herbs that I collected all
over the Wild Spirit Land with three years. If it weren't for our matriarch's sake, I wouldn't have given
them to you," grumbled Kayla. With the way she was complaining, she seemed stingy, but that wasn't
the case. It was just that the higher the pills' level, the better the spiritual flowers and herbs needed. For
example, the pills that Rocky required to help him break through to the Immortal Stage would need
spiritual flowers and herbs that were at least three hundred years old.
"Well, I have collected some spiritual flowers and herbs. I don't know if they can be used," volunteered
Rocky. He recalled that he had collected a lot of spiritual flowers and herbs in the Heavenly God
Temple, and he hoped that she could use them to save them some energy and time.
"Really? Show me then. But I guess they are all very ordinary..." Kayla didn't seem to hold much hope.
In her opinion, the spiritual flowers and herbs that Rocky had collected must be the most ordinary ones.
After all, he couldn't have found the rare ones through sheer coincidence and dumb luck!
Then, Rocky opened his Magic Spiritual Space and entered the laboratory. He took out all the spiritual
flowers and herbs that he had collected from the Heavenly God Temple, which he had carefully grown
in the containers. He placed them in front of Kayla one by one.
At first, Kayla looked at them with disdain, but when she looked closer, a shocked gasp escaped her
lips. She stared at the spiritual flowers and herbs with a dubious expression, as her eyes shifted from
the herbs and flowers to Rocky, then back again.
