Ou Yangming still refused. The dragon emperor and the old man had no choice. In the end, the emperor gave him the token of an Honorary Elder as compensation.
With this token, Ou Yangming was the Dragons' Honorary Elder. In the Great Wide World, this was equivalent to having the Dragons as a backer. Even if the young fellow caused trouble, the Dragons would support him.
An Honorary Elder did not have any obligations. In other words, even after receiving this token, Ou Yangming was still free and did not need to make any contributions to the Dragons.
This was also a way to win over one's heart. After all, a smithing master like Ou Yangming was rarely seen in the Great Wide World. If the Dragons had any needs for smithing in the future, it would be much more convenient for them to ask him for help.
Ou Yangming took the token and was about to leave when he asked, "Senior, do you know where the Mystic Ice Jade Fruit exists?"
