In the Dragon Palace.
Dai Xiaomei and Mozi were having a blast.
From time to time, they would spar with each other.
Seeing the two enjoying themselves, Ao Yuan did not stop them, but rather encouraged them.
After all, it was a time of spiritual energy resurgence, and Ao Yuan was unsure of the future developments on Blue Star.
However, there was one thing Ao Yuan understood.
That was that improving his own strength was always the right thing to do.
After watching for a while, from the initial advantage of whoever attacked first to finally being able to exchange a few moves, Ao Yuan nodded with satisfaction and then closed his eyes slightly.
"System, I want to draw prizes."
[Ding! Current lucky draws can be categorized as you improve. Host, do you wish to spend 200 evolution points for categorized draws?]
"What is categorized draw?" Ao Yuan asked curiously.
"Categorized draw allows for a detailed selection of the type you desire."
"The probability of drawing your desired category in subsequent draws will be higher than without categorization."
"Oh?" Ao Yuan raised his eyebrows and decisively said.
"I want to perform a categorized draw."
"Let's categorize... cultivation techniques."
Ao Yuan pondered for a moment, as he himself did not need any cultivation techniques, but his maid and subordinate, Ao Guang, did.
[Ding! Congratulations to the host for obtaining the cultivation technique Huoyan Jue.]
[Ding! Congratulations to the host for obtaining Keen Sense of Smell.]
[Description: A keen sense of smell, capable of detecting unique scents from thousands of miles away.]
[Ding! Congratulations to the host for obtaining the cultivation technique Shui Bodong.]
[Ding! Congratulations to the host for obtaining 1 piece of damaged turtle shell.]
[Ding! Congratulations to the host for obtaining a venomous fang.]
...
After drawing five times consecutively, Ao Yuan's expression darkened slightly.
Five draws had cost a total of 1000 evolution points, and it was a focused draw.
But!
Only two cultivation techniques were drawn. Was this considered a higher probability?
Fortunately, Huoyan Jue and Shui Bodong were very compatible with Dai Xiaomei and Mozi.
He had not drawn any cultivation techniques for Ao Guang, but obtaining a venomous fang was still beneficial for increasing his attack power.
Just like the battle on the Heavenly Lake earlier, if Ao Guang had possessed a venomous fang, everything would have been different.
But!
Ao Yuan did not understand the Keen Sense of Smell at all.
He wasn't a dog, why would he need a sense of smell??
This was too disgusting!
"Damn it, I'm not drawing anymore!!"
Ao Yuan smacked his lips and then directly summoned Dai Xiaomei, Mozi, and Ao Guang, assigning Huoyan Jue, Shui Bodong, and the venomous fang to them respectively, so they could cultivate properly.
Ao Yuan walked through the long corridor and arrived at a master bedroom deep within the Dragon Palace.
The room was incredibly spacious, with a giant bed that was a hundred meters wide and five hundred meters long.
Ao Yuan felt that even with his hundred-meter body, it would not be a problem to sleep with six or seven creatures of similar size.
"This is great!"
Ao Yuan let out a comfortable groan and lay down on the giant bed.
Mmm~
The giant bed was soft and warm.
And, whether it was Ao Yuan's imagination or not, he always felt a subtle power soothing him.
It was like a massage, wanting to relieve all the fatigue from his body.
"Comfortable~"
Under the effect of this strange power, Ao Yuan's eyes narrowed.
At some point, Ao Yuan comfortably fell asleep.
Perhaps it was due to the softness of the bed, but Ao Yuan felt he had slept extremely comfortably this time.
He had not slept so comfortably in a very, very long time.
And Ao Yuan did not know that by sleeping like this,
He slept for a whole week!
During this week, many major events occurred!
Firstly, disasters were frequent in various places, and the intelligence of fierce beasts was increasing.
Some small countries were being overrun by various strange beasts, leading to their destruction!
In the world!
A nation truly belonging to the demon race had been established!!
And due to Ao Yuan, Great Xia declared to the beautiful country that they would have nothing to do with each other from now on.
The entire Great Xia then devoted themselves to cultivating the techniques taught by Ao Yuan.
Indeed, Ao Yuan's cultivation techniques had a significant effect on Great Xia's improvement.
In just one week, several people who seemed like cultivation prodigies emerged from the citizens of Great Xia.
And during this week, the Great Xia official department had also visited Mount Taibai to find Ao Yuan many times.
They said there were important matters to discuss with Ao Yuan.
Unfortunately...
No matter how many times they came, Ao Yuan was in a deep sleep.
He was completely unaware of this.
"Comfortable!"
After a week, Ao Yuan, who had been in a deep sleep, slowly woke up.
[Ding, host slept for a week, rewarded with 7000 evolution points.]
"Hmm?"
As soon as he woke up, Ao Yuan heard a system prompt.
He was stunned for a moment, and his previously drowsy eyes widened a little.
What was going on?
He got evolution points just for sleeping?
And... why had he slept for a whole week?
He thought he had only slept for a short while.
With doubt, Ao Yuan got out of bed and slowly walked to the front of the Dragon Palace.
He noticed that Ao Guang was nowhere to be seen below the Dragon Palace.
Dai Xiaomei and Mozi were sparring.
After a brief observation, Ao Yuan immediately saw that the techniques used by Dai Xiaomei and Mozi were far better than before.
"Good, good!"
Ao Yuan laughed heartily.
"Daidai! You're finally awake!"
Hearing Ao Yuan's voice, Dai Xiaomei and Mozi looked over together, then ran over.
"How long did I sleep?" Ao Yuan asked curiously.
Although he already knew from the system that he had slept for a week, Ao Yuan still found it hard to believe that a week had passed when he had only taken a nap.
"Daidai, you've slept for a week."
Dai Xiaomei looked at him with deep affection, "Did you sleep so soundly without me and Mozi accompanying you?"
"Cough cough..."
Hearing this, Ao Yuan coughed dryly.
He hadn't thought of it before, but now that Dai Xiaomei mentioned it,
He truly felt that he had missed something during the week he slept.
"Hmm?"
Suddenly, Ao Yuan's gaze paused.
He could smell a very peculiar aura.
This aura was very, very strange.
He had never smelled it before.
It didn't resemble a human's, nor an animal's.
And near this aura, Ao Yuan could also sense Ao Guang's presence.
"Strange."
Feeling strange, Ao Yuan asked Dai Xiaomei and Mozi to continue guarding the Dragon Palace.
Then he flew out of the Dragon Palace, entered the Heavenly Lake, and swam like a fish in the direction of the scent.
He wanted to see clearly.
Where this strange scent came from.
And how it had appeared!
Breaking through the surface of the water, Ao Yuan instantly discovered that something was amiss!
