Chapter 198: Believe in Four
"Yes!” Yu Hong touched the newly born dragon lizard, feeling its warm and soft scales, estimating it would still need a few more days to mature.
This was a type of soldier in his imprinting that didn’t require occupying a light spot, so the number could be limitless, not restricted by imprints.
Currently, there were four dragon lizards left outside, freely patrolling and hunting, temporarily reducing the defense force of the camp.
But, starting from today, the defensive power of the camp would continually grow. The Earth Pond Dragon Lizards, which were not restricted by numbers, would definitely become the strongest defensive power of the camp!
‘Wait!’ Suddenly, Yu Hong thought of a problem.
‘Since the dragon lizards born from the nest are not restricted by the imprint anymore, does this mean this dragon lizard is also not restricted by distance??’
The range limitation of imprinted creatures mainly resulted from the original starting point of the imprint being fixed and unmovable,
But now…
Yu Hong thought about it and decided to test it.
He picked up the little lizard, walked out of the cave, and arranged for an adult dragon lizard to escort it.
Big and small, the two dragon lizards vanished into the Black Fog in the blink of an eye, disappearing from sight.
In the shared vision, they rapidly moved away from the camp, quickly crossing the highway, rushing down the slope, and reaching the three-kilometer control limit.
At that moment, the large Earth Pond Dragon Lizard stopped.
The small new-born one, however, continued to move forward. It quickly passed the limit.
One hundred meters.
Two hundred meters.
Four hundred meters!
Yu Hong could still sense the new-born dragon lizard was alive;this was the feedback given to him by the magic nest in his imprint.
He could vaguely sense the approximate distance of the new-born dragon lizard, but he was unable to directly control it, nor could he share its vision.
Instead, he had to give orders indirectly through the magic nest.
‘It’s a bit inconvenient, but… there’s absolutely no distance limitation now!’
Yu Hong breathed a sigh of relief in his heart.
"With this, I can completely bring dragon lizards with me when I go out as guards to patrol the surroundings! This has given my combat strength a considerable boost!”
Feeling great, Yu Hong returned to the cave, directly reinforced all the remaining luminous stone powder with the Black Mark.
Once the enhancement of the luminous stone powder was finished, there were still sunlight materials waiting, and then he continued to strengthen the talisman arrays and dragon lizards.
This was his plan.
Having confirmed that the dragon lizards could move far from the camp without any trouble, Yu Hong felt much more lively in his thoughts.
Once the number of dragon lizards rose, the security of the camp would be greatly assured.
He could also free up the Black Mark to re
"Inner Qi?”
Xin Zhilei and Zhang Kaijun exclaimed almost in unison.
"Is it the Inner Qi mentioned in martial arts novels?” Zhang Kaijun was obviously quite surprised.
"Yes, it’s not much different,” Yu Hong confirmed. “The concealment runes require my infusion of Inner Qi to take effect. The cultivation of Inner Qi is a long, repetitive process. The method I cultivate is only suitable for a part of me, and I’m not sure if it can be replicated by others.”
"If it’s true, and Mr. Yu isn’t joking, we would like to pay for the cultivation methods of Inner Qi. I wonder if you are willing…” Xin Zhilei said urgently.
"I am, but I can’t guarantee success,” Yu Hong held little hope for this.
He had gradually discovered from his long practice that the most critical part in his Inner Strength cultivation was the conversion of the Black Mark.
That is to say, he first converted the external energy through the Black Mark, then absorbed, contained, and refined it into Inner Qi that belonged to him alone.
Moreover, this conversion was specific to the constitution and psyche of his body.
Without the Black Mark, it would be difficult for ordinary people outside to cultivate Inner Qi.
Soon, both parties, Yu Hong, Zhang Kaijun, and Xin Zhilei, had agreed on the terms of the trade.
The two offered two sets of standardized Talisman Plate production lines and transported them over.
The production lines’ Talisman Plates could be designed by Yu Hong himself, and they also offered a total of one ton of luminous stone powder.
Additionally, there was a full set of the latest technology computer mainframe and twenty pounds of Sunlight No. 9 paint.
The supplies and instruments were actually secondary;the transportation was what mattered most.
After confirming the details of the trade, since the Internal Cultivation Methods involved a visualization, Yu Hong and the two agreed to conduct a physical transaction in person.
Perhaps the urgency of the two sped up the process, or perhaps the route through the Black Disaster Rift had become more stable.
On the third day’s grey hour, Shu Cheng came again with his people, bringing the agreed-upon trade items.
At the same time, they took away the photo images of Inner Strength cultivation content that Yu Hong had provided.

New Aurora City.
The gloomy sky was illuminated by the city’s gigantic searchlights.
Inside the city stood dilapidated and decaying tall buildings, their surfaces stained with unknown black and grey grime, not cleaned for who knows how long.
At the top of the tallest silver-gray skyscraper,
Inside a spacious office over five hundred square meters,
A woman with silver-grey hair tied into a high ponytail was squinting, staring at the tablet in her hand.
The tablet’s screen displayed the Thunderbolt Leg Technique Internal Cultivation Methods recently obtained from Yu Hong.
This was the first layer provided by Yu Hong, including the visualization. The text that originally said the Thunderbolt Leg Technique had six layers was removed and changed to a fully handwritten copy.
"Still not working?” the woman asked in a deep, forceful voice, looking at the content on the screen.
"Sorry, Minister, based on actual testing, ordinary people, enhanced people, fully enhanced people, and mutants have all been tried, and none have exhibited any so-called sensation of Qi,” an exhausted, elderly male voice responded from the computer’s speakers.
"Furthermore, apart from causing a bit of dizziness after looking at the other visualization for too long, there has been no other reaction.”
"So you mean to say Yu Hong is fooling us with something made up?” The woman’s voice turned cold.
"We can’t dismiss that possibility…” the elder responded.
"Let it be for now. Continue monitoring the investigation team. Once the template for the compound substance found in the relics is printed out, the door-shaped pattern on that wall should be restorable. Now it depends on whether it will work after we send the repair pattern over,” the woman said.
"Fortunately, Elder Yang and Professor Boerse teamed up to decipher those mysterious ancient texts, otherwise… we might not even understand where the true source is,” the old man sighed. “According to the translation of the ancient texts, as long as the sealing talisman array is completed, it should restore the relics node. My only concern is that I always feel things won’t be that simple.”
"With the mutants there, we’ll try and see. As long as there’s a glimmer of hope, we must not give up,” the woman said solemnly.
"Understood!”
The call ended.
The woman set down the tablet and walked to the broken floor-to-ceiling window to overlook the entire city.
The strong wind blew, lifting the ponytail hair behind her.
She slipped the tablet into the coat pocket of her overcoat, watching the traffic and people below moving like ants.
"Xin Zhilei, you shouldn’t have disseminated the Yingshan culture privately.”
Behind her, a blurry tall figure, wearing a black round hat, appeared in the office out of nowhere.
