Of course, the Holy Lands of Five Extremes Mysterious Ice didn't give out their monthly salary in the form of gold dragon coins. Instead, they gave out cultivation resources directly. If they sold these cultivation resources, there would definitely be some losses.
This time, Jiang Shenwu had obtained 1,000 gold dragon coins worth of cultivation resources. He could easily obtain 980 gold dragon coins worth of spirit qi essence. Moreover, it was a darkness attribute darkness essence.
These essences were produced by the various supreme holy lands. For example, the Holy Lands of Five Extremes Mysterious Ice could produce ice attribute dark essence. They were used to exchange other attributes' spiritual qi essences with other holy lands. This kind of spiritual qi essence could improve a dragon martial artist's mastery and comprehension of their respective dragon martial techniques.
To Kang Shin-mu, the most important thing for him to improve his combat strength now was whether he could improve his dragon martial techniques.
Kang Shin-mu thought about it and finally made a decision with Elder Li Huo. He needed the dark attribute spiritual qi essence worth 800 gold dragon coins and the beast core of the Prehistoric Tyrant Body Beast, which was worth 130 gold dragon coins. This was something that could be used to cultivate the Divine Dragon Tyrant Body Art to a higher level. It was also very effective in improving Kang Shin-mu's combat strength.
As for the remaining 50 gold dragon coins, he planned to exchange them for cash. Small amounts of cash were allowed. Moreover, Kang Shin-mu's talent was clear for all to see. Elder Li Huo and the other junior elders thought highly of him.
One had to know that when Emperor Xi returned, Kang Shin-mu would become Emperor Xi's personal disciple. His identity and status would be different.
Even if it was Elder Li Huo, he would be willing to do it for Kang Shin-mu for 50 gold dragon coins. After all, it was just a small matter.
To a dragon martial artist at the level of Dragon Emperor, 50 gold dragon coins wasn't a small amount. However, to Elder Li Huo, who was at the pinnacle of the Divine Dragon Realm, 50 gold dragon coins really wasn't much.
The cultivation resources that they needed for their cultivation would easily cost a few thousand gold dragon coins.
As for the 50 gold dragon coins, Kang Shin-mu planned to return them to Senior Wenren Yue.
After Xiao Bai came out, her and Kang Shin-mu's results were quickly announced, shocking all the Dragon Warriors around the Five Extreme Mysterious Ice Tower. Furthermore, this news would probably spread to the surroundings very quickly, and even to the other Sacred Grounds.
Especially a genius like Kang Shin-mu, whose fame would soon spread throughout the whole Dragon Gods World.
Then, Elder Li Huo personally brought Xiao Bai and Kang Shin-mu to settle down.
Elder Li Huo led them directly to a space-time array. If they wanted to head to the Five Extreme Mysterious Ice Holy Land's disciple region, they couldn't just fly in. Most importantly, there were restrictions outside the disciple region.
Even if one was a disciple of the Five Extreme Dark Ice Holy Land, they would still encounter the counterattack of the restrictions and be in danger.
Therefore, generally speaking, the disciples of the Five Extreme Mysterious Ice Holy Land entered the disciple region with their disciple identity card.
If it was an ordinary cultivator, their identity card would only be issued after the Five Extreme Mysterious Ice Holy Land's opening ended. But this time, Kang Shin-mu and Xiao Bai's identity cards were manufactured in a hurry, and they were issued to them that very night.
Elder Li Huo first brought Xiao Bai to the third-class disciple's residential area.
Kang Shin-mu also followed them. Through the space-time array, he discovered that the third-class disciple's residential area was almost like a paradise. It should be located not far behind the Five Extreme Mysterious Ice Holy Land. It was a place with verdant hills and limpid waters. Dense Heaven and Earth Spirit Qi and dragon mark energy constantly lingered in the surroundings.
Every third-class disciple's residential area was a wooden house in the mountains. These wooden houses had some restrictions carved on them, and with the third-class disciple's abilities, it was impossible for them to destroy them.
Every two wooden houses were at least a hundred miles apart.
And within a hundred miles of the wooden house was the residence of a third-class disciple. There was a Spirit Gathering Array in this place, constantly gathering Heaven and Earth Spirit Qi and dragon mark energy, allowing people to cultivate.
Moreover, within a hundred miles of each wooden house, there was a layer of restrictions. Without the permission of the disciple, outsiders could not enter, even if it was a disciple of a higher rank.
Therefore, it could be said that cultivating in the Holy Land was something that every dragon martial artist yearned for. The conditions here were simply too good.
Kang Shin-mu discovered that in the third-class disciple's residential area, the density of the dragon mark energy was more than twenty times higher than the Dragon Martial Continent's Heaven's Pivot District, even reaching about twenty-five times!
Cultivating and absorbing the dragon mark energy here allowed one's speed and efficiency to reach the extreme.
For a dragon martial artist like Xiao Bai, after absorbing a day's worth of dragon mark energy here, she could digest it for three days, and then wait for the next three days for the Spirit Gathering Array to condense the dragon mark energy again.
And if she went to a higher ranked disciple's residential area, the higher the grade of the Spirit Gathering Array, the faster the dragon mark energy would be condensed.
Following that, Xiao Bai familiarized herself with the third-class disciple's residential area.
As for Kang Shin-mu, he was brought to the fifth-class disciple's residential area by Elder Li Huo.
This was a magnificent palace located in the middle of the white clouds!
Within a radius of three hundred miles around the palace was the residential area of a fifth-class disciple. There were restrictions around the perimeter, other disciples could not enter, and the grade of the Spirit Gathering Array was even higher.
First-class disciples' residences were on the ground, and the higher ranked disciples' residences, the closer they were to the sky.
Now, the residences of the fifth-class disciples were all luxurious palaces floating in midair.
Kang Shin-mu could feel that the total amount of dragon mark energy contained in a fifth-class disciple's residential area was more than ten times that of a third-class disciple's residential area, and the gathering speed of the Spirit Gathering Array was also more than five times faster.
In other words, if Xiao Bai came here, she might need ten days to completely absorb the dragon mark energy, and she would need five or six days to condense it again.
This was the power of the Five Extreme Mysterious Ice Holy Land.
The higher the disciple's residential area, the higher the concentration of dragon mark energy and Heaven and Earth Spiritual Qi, making cultivation twice the result with half the effort.
Cultivating in Kang Shin-mu's place for half a month was probably equivalent to cultivating in the Dragon Martial Continent for a year. Even compared to the third-class area where Xiao Bai resided, it was still two or three times faster.
This was undoubtedly an extremely terrifying speed. Of course, it also depended on the dragon martial artist's own talent.
No matter how good the outside world's conditions were, if one's talent was lacking, it would be very difficult for a dragon martial artist to improve.
Of course … in a situation where one's talent was the same, the resources they enjoyed were different, which would lead to the difference between the two's achievements.
Elder Li Huo brought Kang Shin-mu over and left.
As for Kang Shin-mu, he first familiarized himself in his own palace … On the second day, Elder Li Huo sent someone to bring Kang Shin-mu's cultivation resources over. There was a darkness-attribute Spiritual Qi Essence worth eight hundred gold dragon coins, and a Primordial Overlord Body Beast's beast core worth a hundred and thirty gold dragon coins!
