Chapter 1316 - A Bottomless Pit (2/2)

Jiang Long grinned and said, ”Not much. A year requires about 800,000,000 drops of Sovereign Spiritual Liquid.”

Mu Chen's vision blackened for a moment. Then, he couldn't help but speak as if he had lost his voice, ”Eight hundred million a year?”

At this time, even with his self-control, he almost felt like cursing. Eight hundred million drops of Sovereign Spiritual Liquid was not a small number. When they were in the Daluo Territory, the annual income would be about 100,000,000. However, to raise this Mystery Dragon army, 800,000,000 was needed for a year?

This was simply a bottomless pit!

At this time, Mu Chen finally realized what massive amount of resources was needed in order to cultivate such an elite class of troops...

”Eight hundred million a year should be fine. This is actually less than normal.” Jiang Long had some doubts about this. In the past, when they followed the Mystery Dragon War Emperor, they spent at least 1,000,000,000 drops of Sovereign Spiritual Liquid per annum.

The corners of Mu Chen's lips twitched a little. He was not some Mystery Dragon War Emperor. He was only an Upper Earthly Sovereign. Of course he would not be as rich as the Mystery Dragon War Emperor. Although he had the Mu Estate, the estate's financial income would still not be enough to fill up this pit.

Jiang Long seemed to have thought of that, too, and smiled in embarrassment. ”If Lord Mu is able to find a place to release us, as long as we do not stay in the Space of the Mystery Dragon, 500,000,000 drops of Sovereign Spiritual Liquid per year should be enough.”

Mu Chen sighed helplessly. If he didn't bring the Mystery Dragon Army along with him, everything would be almost meaningless. After all, no one could control them if they were placed in the Mu Estate. He would simply be recklessly wasting natural resources.

Mu Chen finally nodded. ”With regards to the Sovereign Spiritual Liquid, I will try my best to satisfy all of you.” It was impossible to let them go after going through such trouble to get such a tyrannical army. After all, if the news got out, many supreme powers would want to snatch that army by hook or by crook. Hundred of millions of Sovereign Spiritual Liquid drops were incomparable to an elite army that was capable of countering Heavenly Sovereigns.

In Mu Chen's estimation, to build an army of this level without taking into account the factor of time, the consumption of Sovereign Spiritual Liquid would go up to tens of billions.

”This is 100,000,000 drops of Sovereign Spiritual Liquid. Use them first.” Mu Chen waved his sleeves, and immediately, torrents of liquid appeared with spiritual light blooming around them. Spiritual energy filled the space, causing the Space of the Mystery Dragon to become bright.

These torrents were all made by the Sovereign Spiritual Liquid. At this time, Mu Chen felt fortunate. When he was competing for the Child of the Continent in the Western Kingdom, he bet 80,000,000 drops that he would win the battle. It was because of this that he had 200,000,000 drops of Sovereign Spiritual Liquid with him. Otherwise, he would not have been able to give even 100,000,000 drops of Sovereign Spiritual Liquid now.

Jiang Long smiled and nodded when he saw the 100,000,000 drops of Sovereign Spiritual Liquid. With this, their Mystery Dragon Army should be able to practice in the Space of the Mystery Dragon for a month or two without going out.

After the Sovereign Spiritual Liquid was given to the Mystery Dragon Army, Mu Chen carefully examined the army that he had obtained. Finally, he discovered that the Mystery Dragon Army had a total of 15,000 people. Jiang Long said that during the heyday of the Mystery Dragon Army, there were 25,000 people. Obviously, that long-term sleep had caused the Mystery Dragon Army to lose quite a number of personnel.

It seems that if there is a chance in the future, I can try to supplement the personnel, Mu Chen said in his heart, but the premise was that he must have enough Sovereign Spiritual Liquid in his hands.

After all, now he was responsible for the cultivation resources of these 15,000 people. This in itself was already a headache for him, and if he wanted to add more people, the price of that sort of cultivation would definitely increase.

”The scale of the Mu Estate needs to be expanded.” Mu Chen knocked on his forehead. The current Mu Estate ruled the northern boundary of the Tianluo Continent, but that was not enough. Thus, if Mu Chen wanted to have a strong capital, it was necessary for the Mu Estate to start expanding. In that case, conflicts and wars with other strong forces on the mainland would be unavoidable, but Mu Chen was not afraid of this. After all, he was no longer a Lower Earthly Sovereign. When he returned to Tianluo Continent and to the Mu Estate, he would even surpass Mandela.

Jiang Long bowed slightly to Mu Chen and said respectfully, ”If there is anything Lord Mu needs in the future, you can send a letter directly to the Space of the Mystery Dragon. However, with your current battle troop dispatcher level, you can only control 3,000 Mystery Dragon Army battle spirits. I am looking forward to the day when you can control all of them.”

”I am looking forward to that, too.” Mu Chen smiled and nodded. Then, after he received the black magic from Jiang Long to store the Space of the Mystery Dragon, he did not stay any longer. His body shape changed and turned into a stream of light before he burst out of the Space of the Mystery Dragon.

Mu Chen would not forget that in that cave, there was also a large pile of spiritual pills left by the Spiritual Butterfly Pill Fairy. Of course, the most important one was naturally the Sublimation Pill that he kept thinking about. If he could obtain that sort of pill, then the Sovereign Super Power of the Immortal Golden Body could be strengthened to the second level. For Mu Chen, that would undoubtedly be an extremely tremendous improvement.
