**Chapter 609: The Old Guy Won't Give It to You, But I Will**

Shulin Muyu was full of confidence in himself. Just because others couldn't do it didn't mean he couldn't.

After Antares finished speaking, his mood calmed down a lot and he returned to his previous lazy demeanor.

Shulin Muyu asked, "What about the Abyss Demons? What's their origin?"

Antares shook his head, "I won't say."

Shulin Muyu laughed, "Do you not know?"

Antares chuckled lightly, "Don't try to provoke me, it won't work. I was just giving you face earlier, don't take yourself too seriously."

Shulin Muyu didn't care about Antares' words, "I still think you don't know."

Antares fell silent and didn't say more.

Shulin Muyu said, "If you don't know, just say you don't know. I won't force you to say it anyway. I can't beat you, and I can't out-argue you, right?"

Antares turned his head and closed his eyes, ignoring him.

But after Shulin Muyu said that, the last bit of depression was swept away.

Antares completely gave up, looking like he didn't care what Shulin Muyu said, he just wouldn't answer.

Shulin Muyu teased him a bit more but didn't continue questioning. Antares' mood had already recovered, so there was no need to keep asking.

Shulin Muyu said, "Help me take a look at my reward. I can't figure it out."

Shulin Muyu's words piqued Antares' interest.

The reward from the [Dragon King's Hall] dungeon also made Antares curious.

After all, he had never hosted the [Dragon King's Hall], and the rewards were not fixed, varying according to each person's level and profession.

There were too many good things in the Dragon Clan, too many to count.

Moreover, for some beings, many things could be self-made.

When they established the [Dragon King's Hall] dungeon for some reason, they prepared a large number of treasures.

This time, Shulin Muyu encountered the Dragon God, the king of the Dragon Clan, who had the highest authority. What reward would he give Shulin Muyu? Even Antares couldn't guess.

Shulin Muyu took out the dragon-shaped crystal.

Antares' eyes widened, and he let out a low growl, "Dragon Soul Crystal, the old guy actually gave it to you."

"What's the use of the Dragon Soul Crystal?" Shulin Muyu looked at the dragon-shaped crystal, watching the colorful liquid flowing slowly inside.

The colorful liquid didn't seem like much, but in Shulin Muyu's eyes, it was like an ocean, endless. The Dragon God didn't mention its name, and Shulin Muyu only knew it was called the Dragon Soul Crystal through Antares. As for its use and how to use it, he had no idea. But judging by Antares' reaction, Shulin Muyu knew it wasn't an ordinary item. It made sense; for a being of the Dragon God's level, how could he give out something ordinary? Antares said, "The Dragon Soul Crystal is very difficult to create, and there aren't many in our Dragon Clan."

"You see the liquid inside the Dragon Soul Crystal, right? It's called Dragon Soul Liquid, formed by the soul power of our Dragon Clan."

"With the Dragon Soul Crystal, you can strengthen your soul level without any side effects."

"And the crystal that holds the Dragon Soul Liquid is called Dragon Crystal, which contains a lot of laws."

"Long-term contact with the Dragon Crystal can make it easier for you to comprehend laws."

The Dragon Soul Liquid enhances the soul, and the Dragon Crystal accelerates the comprehension of laws. Both are rare treasures.

No matter how strong external items or equipment are, they can't compare to one's own strength.

The Dragon Soul Crystal is indeed a very good thing, perfectly suited to Shulin Muyu's taste.

As Antares spoke, the Dragon Soul Crystal had already flown out of Shulin Muyu's hand and came to Antares.

Antares stared at the Dragon Soul Liquid inside the Dragon Soul Crystal, "Hmm, it's the Seven-Color Dragon Soul Liquid. The old guy really thinks highly of you."

Shulin Muyu asked, "Is there any special significance to this?"

Antares snorted lightly, "Dragon Soul Crystals also vary in quality, with significant differences in their effects."

"The worst Dragon Soul Crystals contain three-color liquid, indicating that the soul power inside comes from mixed-blood dragons, impure and with the worst effect."

"Better ones have five colors, with soul power gathered from pure-blood dragons."

"The old guy gave you a seven-color Dragon Soul Crystal, which already has a trace of ancestral dragon aura, making it a top-tier Dragon Soul Crystal."

"The seven-color Dragon Soul Crystal is the best our Dragon Clan would give out. As for the top-tier nine-color Dragon Soul Crystal, it would never be given away."

Shulin Muyu asked, "Why?"

Antares chuckled, "Think for yourself. With your intelligence, you can surely figure it out."

Shulin Muyu instinctively asked, but he had already guessed the reason.

Who would give away their most precious treasure? It would definitely be kept for their own use.

Since the Dragon Soul Crystal can enhance the soul and help comprehend laws, and is extremely difficult to create with limited quantity, the best ones would naturally be kept for their own descendants and clansmen, not given away.

Antares suddenly laughed, "I know what you're thinking, but you're definitely wrong."

Shulin Muyu rolled his eyes at Antares, this guy seemed to have learned to tease him.

Antares continued to stare at the Dragon Soul Crystal, "I can't tell you the specific reason, but it's definitely not what you're thinking. It's not that simple."

"The old guy doesn't want to give out the best nine-color Dragon Soul Crystal, but I insist on giving it to you."

Antares exhaled a breath of dragon breath, which was controlled into a thin line, wrapping around the Dragon Soul Crystal.

The Dragon Soul Crystal began to shine brightly, emitting brilliant light.

A dazzling rainbow rose into the sky, with countless divine dragons flying and swimming within, letting out dragon roars.

Shulin Muyu could feel the immense soul energy boiling.

The soul energy was so vast that it turned from invisible to visible, eventually becoming liquid, which was the Dragon Soul Liquid. Each drop of Dragon Soul Liquid was as heavy as a thousand pounds, containing extremely astonishing soul power.

This was formed by the pure soul of the Dragon Clan, and creating Dragon Soul Liquid required an immense amount of soul energy.

So when Antares said it was difficult to create, it was definitely not an exaggeration.

Antares continued to exhale dragon breath, which contained his soul power, injecting it into the Dragon Soul Crystal.

After a while, a miraculous scene occurred.

Above the seven-color rainbow, a black color suddenly appeared.

The seven-color rainbow turned into eight colors.

Red, orange, yellow, green, blue, indigo, violet, and black.

Eight-color Dragon Soul Crystal!

Shulin Muyu was secretly shocked. Antares had actually enhanced the quality of the Dragon Soul Crystal.

He used his own soul power to forcibly enhance the quality of the Dragon Soul Crystal.

Shulin Muyu realized that his previous guess was probably correct. Antares was definitely not just a pure-blood dragon.

He must have the bloodline of the ancestral dragon, otherwise, he couldn't have enhanced the quality of the Dragon Soul Crystal.

Since seven colors were already top-tier, and nine colors would never be given away, it showed that creating a nine-color Dragon Soul Crystal was extremely difficult.

Antares managed to do it, enhancing the quality of the seven-color Dragon Soul Crystal with his own power.

After the eighth color appeared, Antares became very cautious, and his soul energy output became extremely gentle.

What was previously like a rushing river had now turned into a gentle stream, slowly and steadily injecting into the Dragon Soul Crystal.

This continued for a whole day, but the Dragon Soul Crystal still didn't change.

Antares continued to inject soul power while using the laws he controlled to transform the Dragon Soul Crystal.

Shulin Muyu wasn't in a hurry, patiently waiting. Good things take time, and it couldn't be rushed.

He didn't idle either, starting to summon skeletons and headless knights.

Having reached level 72, he naturally needed to replenish his undead army.

At level 72, he could summon one more lich general, bringing the total to 52.

The summoning space also increased by 200, reaching 2800.

The total number of the undead army reached 145600.

Headless knights, skeleton berserkers, skeleton mages, and skeleton archers, each type had 36400, evenly distributed.

Compared to level 71, the undead army increased by 13000. Shulin Muyu summoned non-stop, taking 4 hours to fully replenish.

While Antares enhanced the quality of the Dragon Soul Crystal, Shulin Muyu replenished his undead army.

Both were busy, and although silent, they seemed to form a unique tacit understanding, very harmonious.

This continued for three days, and the appearance of the Dragon Soul Crystal had subtly changed.

It seemed to have become more lively.

The Dragon Soul Liquid inside shone brightly, and a ninth color appeared.

Shulin Muyu stared unblinkingly at the Dragon Soul Liquid, and after careful observation, he realized the ninth color was white.

"Antares is about to succeed!" Shulin Muyu clenched his fists, realizing that Antares was on the verge of success.

Now, only the final step remained.

After a few more hours, a white ring rose above the red, orange, yellow, green, blue, indigo, violet, and black rainbow.

A white ring.

Nine-color Dragon Soul Crystal, the top-tier Dragon Soul Crystal in the Dragon Clan.

The energy that had been boiling for days finally subsided, and Antares acted as if he had done something trivial, "Nine colors, barely acceptable."

This guy was showing off!
