I Have Seven Dragon Souls In a cultivation world

Most average families only used between 2 to 3 silver coins a month. 1 gold coin was already worth 100 silver coins, so the normal remuneration for a dead soldier was already enough for a family to last for four years if they spent frugally.

In the general's opinion,the increase to the pension was not only difficult to enact, it was also completely unnecessary.

Dante also realised the general's troubles and quickly spoke with a displeased look on his face.

"The compensation won't be coming out of your pockets. Just take it from my share of the bandit's loot and split it to the soldiers and their families. But when you hand the soldiers and their families the compensation, make it clear it was I, the Dragon son who paid for such compensation, not the city lords.

As soon as the general heard Dante's words, a sigh of relief quickly escaped his lips.

If Dante insisted that they pay the compensation, then there really would be nothing he could do.

At that point, he would have to tell his noble bosses, which were the surrounding city lords, and they definitely would not be happy with such an expenditure putting him in a truly awkward position. Fortunately, the Dragon son was benevolent and didn't force them or else he really didn't know what he would do!

Suddenly Dante seemed to realise something and quickly turned towards the general

"Oh, and I know that giving out such a lump sum of money to people can cause people to get some ideas, especially to the families that have lost their husbands and fathers. I don't want to be hearing any news of a robbery or murder linked towards this compensation. If anything does happen, it won't be the murderers I'll hold responsible. It'll be you and the people you work for."

As the general looked up, he could see Dante's serpentine eyes slowly sizing him up.

As the general looked up, he quickly saw the displeased look on Dante's face.

A cold sweat quickly began to form on the back of the general before he quickly spoke up

"Of course Lord Dragon son. To fail to maintain the orders of the dragon son is a sin even the City lords can't afford to make!"

"Hmm!"

As soon as Dante saw this response, he just scoffed but also removed the invisible pressure placed on the poor general.

As soon as he was freed, the general took a deep breath and collected himself before he moved onto the next topic

"My lord, from the recent loot of the bandit camp, we've discovered a lot of hidden resources. The bandits seemed to have a large domination of the surrounding region and have been able to gather quite the large storage of spiritual herbs and treasures. There even was  a few Martial adept rank treasures!"

The instant Dante heard this, interest was truly peaked.

Martial adept treasures were something hard to come by, even in the capital, but most importantly they can go for a lot of money! Dante's greedy Draconic nature would never pass up such profits!

"Please, tell me more."

As soon as the general saw Dante's wide smile, he couldn't help but feel a strange nervousness swell in his stomach.

Regardless, the general awkwardly cleared his throat and began to speak

"From the reserves of treasures of the bandits, we've managed to identify three Martial adept to level treasures. 2 stalks of burning blood grass and one corpse flower Lily."

"What about their state?" Asked Dante.

"They've all been well preserved in top quality medicine boxes."

"Hahaha!" Laughed Dante

Seeing the pleased look on Dante's face, the general pushed on even further.

My lord, that wasn't all we discovered in the storage of the bandit camp.

In place we found 3 bottles of some strange unidentifiable pills."

"Show me." Said Dante, his eagerness growing.

With that instruction, 3 pristine white bottles appeared in the general's hand before he slowly walked towards Dante and presented them to him.

Dante just waved his hand, storing the two other bottles, leaving one to remain in his hand.

Carefully opening the bottle, Dante poured one pill into his hand.

What he saw was a completely smooth black pill with strange red markings across its body.

Nothing from Dante's knowledge seemed to register with this new pill .

Dante knew his knowledge of cultivation wasn't too profound, so instead handed it to Rebecca.

But after looking at it for a short time, she just showed a similarly stumped expression. Before handing it back to Dante.

"I'm sorry Dante, but this pill really doesn't fit the description of anything I've read or encountered during my time in the Hidden Dragon Academy. All I can tell you is that the pills all seem to contain a particularly potent dose of Death energy and are most definitely dangerous."

Retrieving the pills from her, Dante brought it back up to his face before lightly smelling it.

Usually pills, especially potent ones, have strong aromas linked to the ingredients used to craft it, but when Dante smelled this, he could find the traces of any herbs he was familiar with. He was really left with no leads this time.

But suddenly, deep within Dante, something seemed to stir.

Without even realising, a faint green glow started to appear in his eyes as he looked at the pills.

Dante didn't even have to think before he realised what was going on.

His dragon soul was having a reaction to these pills in front of him.

'When Rebecca said that these pills were high in their concentration of Death element energy, I didn't expect them to actually reach this level!'

You see, as the level of his dragon souls got higher, the quality of the treasures needed to evolve them and gain energy points.

The fact that these pills could elicit a reaction from his Dracolich Soul which was already at the Elder dragon level spoke volumes of the kind of high quality they were.
