Yu Zi Yu, placing the eighteen Hatchlings and five Dragon Eggs into the Lake of Vitality within the Pocket of Life for nurturing, did not remain idle. He still had many tasks at hand that needed his attention.

For instance…

*Boom, boom…*

Accompanied by a surge in Spiritual Energy, his roots continuously dug deeper into the ground, moving as swiftly as Earth Dragons.

At the same time, the Spirit Stone Mines buried in the depths of Dragon Island—the foundation of the island—began to tremble.

Soon after…

*Gulp, gulp…* As if devouring, Yu Zi Yu’s countless roots squirmed, ballooning and shrinking, as glow of various colors flowed through them.

At this point, there was no denying that the Dragon Clan was quite wealthy: Yu Zi Yu found super-large Spirit Stone Mines present in several locations.

Besides, one of these super-large mines happened to be an exceptionally rare Light-Attribute Spirit Stone Mine. With this particular Spirit Stone Mine, Yu Zi Yu’s Pocket of Light might expand several times over.

However, it did not end just there.

As Little Tenth—the Lightning Dragon had mentioned, the Dragon Clan indeed had a fondness for shiny things. Deep within Dragon Island, Yu Zi Yu discovered countless crystals.

These crystals were a concentrated form of Spiritual Energy, a unique product of the Mutant Beasts—also known as Magical Beasts—in this world.

Now, deep within Dragon Island, these crystals were piled up like mountains.  Some of them were so dazzling that they were hard to look at directly. These dazzling crystals were Tier-4 Magic Crystal—the most valuable items obtained by the Dragon Clan from hunting Tier-4 Magical Beasts.

In addition to these crystals, there were also some that emitted a faint Dragon Prestige. Yu Zi Yu reckoned that these Magic Crystals were the Dragon Crystals collected from fallen members of the Dragon Clan.

These Magic Crystals were extremely valuable, akin to important strategic resources.

Not only did they possess vast amounts of pure Spiritual Energy, the imprints of Heaven and Earth engraved within them, like Formations, were of immense interest to Yu Zi Yu.

“With these Tier-4 Magic Crystals and Dragon Crystals, my research on Formations might undergo a qualitative transformation. I might even develop Formations suitable for the Dao-Protecting Artifact—‘Radiant Galaxy’…” muttering to himself, a hint of excitement appeared on Yu Zi Yu’s face.

It was rare for him to show such emotion. However, now, seeing this many Magic Crystals of such level, Yu Zi Yu knew that the invasion of Dragon Island had truly paid off.

[The Giant Dragon Clan, known for their wealth that rivaled nations, is indeed unmatched in their ability to accumulate such treasures.]

*Heh heh…* Chuckling, Yu Zi Yu did not hold back. His deeply buried roots suddenly shot out, swiftly collecting all the Tier-3 and above Magic Crystals.

As for Tier-2 and lower Magic Crystals, they were of no use to him. So, he did not feel the need to collect them.

…

After round after round of plundering, Dragon Island was practically stripped bare to its core. Spirit Stone Mines and crystals were just the beginning. Even the hides of Tier-3 and Tier-4 Magical Beasts, rich in Spiritual Energy, as well as the Spirit Flowers and Fruits unique to Dragon Island, were not spared by Yu Zi Yu.

At this moment, if one looked around, they would see countless roots emerging from the ground, slithering like giant Pythons toward every corner of the island.

Occasionally, a Wyvern or even a Giant Dragon would appear to stop him, but they were swiftly turned into nutrients for the roots.
