Hearing Mu Jinyu's words, the Taoist-robed youths exchanged glances, still hesitant and fearful.

In the end, greed won out.

The monk's robe youth clasped his hands together, softly reciting a Buddhist mantra, then, like a monk sacrificing himself for a righteous cause, stepped forward toward the dragon bone.

The Taoist-robed youths saw this and gritted their teeth, following him.

Mu Jinyu, accompanied by Gu Xiyan and the others, had already arrived in front of the dragon bone and started extracting the dragon marrow.

The quality of the dragon marrow was indeed excellent, likely due to proper preservation, and its effects were undoubtedly much better than the Dragon Marrow Immortal Spring Mu Jinyu had acquired earlier at Ruiyan Mountain.

After all, when Mu Jinyu had excavated that Dragon Marrow Immortal Spring, it had long been occupied by the Nine-Eye Bichan for years, consuming an unknown amount of dragon marrow.

By the time Mu Jinyu used it for cultivation, the dragon marrow was already very sparse.

This dragon bone, having only recently come into the world, had only been consumed a little by the Little White Dragon that the electric eel transformed into, and was naturally stronger than the Dragon Marrow Immortal Spring of Ruiyan Mountain.

Very soon, Mu Jinyu extracted all the dragon marrow from the dragon vertebra bone, storing it in a wooden bucket.

Upon roughly estimating, the dragon marrow was about ten pounds.

This amount for those Taoist-robed youths with their Divine Transformation Realm Cultivation was an unimaginable fortune.

But to Mu Jinyu, it was just okay.

Looking back at the Taoist-robed youths, Mu Jinyu lifted the wooden bucket with a casual gesture and said, "There's about ten pounds of dragon marrow here. Since you provided the lead, each of you can have a pound, and my wives and I will take the remaining four pounds. Is that okay?"

"No, no, no..."

Hearing Mu Jinyu's distribution proposal, the Taoist-robed youths felt overwhelmed and quickly waved their hands, saying:

"Dragon Master, you are too generous. We only provided the lead and didn't contribute any effort during the process. Without your support, we wouldn't even have had the chance to deal with the Five Great Sea Kings investigating, and we might have died here. We really don't deserve so much."

"Yes, yes, yes. Still, let Dragon Master and your wives have a pound each, and we'll split the rest among ourselves."

It wasn't that they could resist the temptation of the dragon marrow or felt grateful for Mu Jinyu's kindness, leading to their refusal.

They feared Mu Jinyu might be testing them, and if they eagerly accepted, he would turn on them, accusing them of taking too much without contributing, and then kill them, leaving them nowhere to cry.

So they refused, preferring a smaller share, which was more than satisfying for them.

Upon hearing their words, Mu Jinyu looked somewhat surprised, glanced at them, and understood their concerns.

With a helpless smile and a shake of his head, Mu Jinyu said, "Rest assured, I won't kill you. It's just a bit of dragon marrow, nothing significant to me."

Hearing this from Mu Jinyu, the Taoist-robed youths breathed a sigh of relief. After a few more polite refusals, they each accepted their pound of dragon marrow.

Subsequently, Mu Jinyu took the remaining four pounds of dragon marrow, which was enough for Mei Yinxue, Yu Linglong, Lin Qiaoxia, Xu Qingya, Mu Hongchen, and Su Zijin to use for their Divine Transformation Realm Cultivation.

"You can also take this piece of dragon bone and split it among yourselves; I don't need it."

Mu Jinyu glanced at the broken dragon vertebra bone and told the Taoist-robed youths.

This dragon vertebra bone could at most be made into a top-grade magical treasure, and it was dubious for even a low-grade spiritual treasure, so Mu Jinyu wasn't interested in it, and simply gave it to them.

This way, he wouldn't feel any burden when he later took the Bronze Dragon Palace.

"Alright, thank you, Dragon Master, for your generosity!"

Seeing that Mu Jinyu wasn't joking, the Taoist-robed youths eagerly agreed and began distributing the dragon bone among themselves.

To them, while the dragon bone wasn't as valuable as the dragon marrow, it was certainly a good item. They initially thought Mu Jinyu might use it to even out his missing share of the dragon marrow, but he didn't even want the dragon bone, so they happily accepted it.

Mu Jinyu allowed them to distribute the dragon bone among themselves, who ended up arguing with flushed faces, and he merely shook his head slightly before wandering around the Dragon Palace.

Though the Dragon Palace forged from a single piece of bronze was simple, it naturally carried a sense of Dao Rhyme and looked somewhat ancient and dignified.

After making a round, Mu Jinyu didn't find anything else worthwhile in the Dragon Palace.

Presumably, its previous owner had left some good things, but they had all faded away with time.

Otherwise, with the Dragon Clan's greedy nature, there wouldn't be any lack of treasures.

"Let's go, let's go. There's nothing good left."

Mu Jinyu turned back to Gu Xiyan and the others with a calm demeanor, showing no signs of disappointment.

He came here knowing that there was little chance of finding anything substantial, and only agreed to the trip because it had been a long time since he had gone out for leisure with Gu Xiyan and the others.

In truth, his purpose for venturing out to sea was more about enjoying a good time with his wives and relaxing than treasure hunting in the Dragon Nest.

Managing to bring back over four pounds of dragon marrow and a Bronze Palace was already very satisfying to Mu Jinyu.

Upon exiting the room, the Taoist-robed youths had already divided up the dragon vertebra bone!

"There's nothing left. Do you need to check again?"

Mu Jinyu looked at them and asked.

"No need. We trust the Dragon Master."

They shook their heads in unison.

They were sensible enough to understand that there was no need for rechecking; if there were truly any valuable items left in the Dragon Palace, Mu Jinyu would have already claimed them. With his level of power, how could anything be overlooked for them to collect?

And even if by some accident, they stumbled upon something good...

Who could guarantee that Mu Jinyu wouldn't covet it?

Wouldn't it be even more dangerous then?

Considering everything, it was better not to check and to express trust in Mu Jinyu, which could win them his favor.

Seeing them shake their heads and refuse, Mu Jinyu smiled without saying much, "In that case, let's prepare to head back."

Everyone exited the Great Bronze Hall together.

Once Mu Jinyu and the others exited, he took out the Dragon Phoenix Cauldron, enlarging it to a size even greater than the Bronze Palace, covering the sky and gathering the Bronze Palace into it.

During this process, the Taoist-robed youths watched enviously, their eyes filled with admiration rather than jealousy.

This Bronze Palace sitting here was impossible to carry with their strength, and even if Mu Jinyu hadn't taken it, they knew where it was located. Upon returning to report to their masters back at several famous mountains, would joining forces give them a hope of taking it?

Without a top-grade magical treasure in hand, they'd have no chance of moving the Dragon Palace even if all of them joined forces.

So, they could only admire Mu Jinyu and find no room for jealousy.

Let alone being angry at Mu Jinyu for not sharing the Bronze Palace and keeping it for himself.
