The Lotus Terrace Cave, with its lake and mountain scenery, is breathtakingly beautiful.
Jiang Yuebai sat in the clouds on the top of the mountain. He entered a state of meditation and woke up. He stretched his muscles beautifully and watched the red sun in the small world gradually setting in the west and the sky filled with rosy clouds.
There was a bald patch in the forest at the foot of the mountain, with trees falling down one after another, but Xie Jingshan was still cutting down trees.
She turned her head and saw that Lu Nanzhi had already built the outline of a small courtyard for her in a place with the back of the mountain and facing the lake. Two mountain monkeys served tea and water to Lu Nanzhi, and the dragonfly demon was fanning the room with a large piece of leaves.
Jiang Yuebai was not in a hurry to go over to help. She had been working so hard every day for the past few months that she only managed to straighten out her breath today and had time to check her progress in cultivation.
After entering the middle stage of the Golden Elixir, the pill in the Dantian has become completely stable, and the next step is to conceive the spirit.
Just like the demon race's method of concentrating their soul and divine thoughts into one in order to form the golden elixir, cultivators also need to separate their soul and divine thoughts into the golden elixir and use the power of the five elements to nurture the infant spirit.
When the infant spirit is formed, it is the day when the elixir is broken and the infant is transformed.
Since entering the middle stage of the Golden Core, Jiang Yuebai has become slack in his main cultivation method, body-building method, sorcery, and grafting, and has been marking time.
"The Five Elements Return to Truth", "The Nine Transformations of the Golden Body" and "The Azure Dragon Spear Technique" have all just entered the fourth level, corresponding to the state of the middle stage of the golden elixir.
After getting the collection of sorcery, I haven't learned any new sorcery.
The research on the Great Derivations and the Mathematical Scriptures also stagnated, and he became less familiar with alchemy, talisman making and weapon refining.
"I haven't even repaired my squashed puppet clone yet, and I don't know what's wrong with Jixiang and Xiaolu."
Jiang Yuebai stretched his neck to scan the Lotus Cave Heaven and vaguely felt that they were wandering in the woods to the north.
It was a rare moment of leisure, so Jiang Yuebai didn't plan to disturb them.
At this time they were still on Wentian Island. Shen Huaixi left first to arrange the affairs of the Yiren Country, and then returned to Wentian Island.
The Supreme Elder has already notified King Kong Platform, Guiyuan Sword Sect, the Kong family and now the Fang family to go to Wentian Island to discuss the matter of clearing out the Shura Domain.
This time, Shanhailou also decided to participate and would provide a batch of supplies. For the time being, only Ding Lanzhi left, while Xie Tianbao remained on Wentian Island, drinking and chatting with Wen Miao every day.
Before leaving, Ding Lanzhi made a special trip to find Jiang Yuebai to thank her handsomely.
Jiang Yuebai always felt that Xie Jingshan's suffering was also her responsibility, and Xie Jingshan was her best friend, so she should save him, so she declined Ding Lanzhi's kindness, but...
She gave so much!
If she really refused, Jiang Yuebai felt that her Taoism heart would collapse.
In the end, he had to symbolically accept one million high-quality spirit stones and many rare materials to build the Lotus Platform Cave Heaven.
Xie Jingshan knew that she was worried about how to hide the Five Elements Lotus Platform, so he asked Xie Tianbao to personally refine something for her. It has not been refined yet, so Jiang Yuebai doesn't know what it will be.
"I have already repaid Shen Huaixi's 50,000 spirit stones. Now I am debt-free and a lot richer."
Jiang Yuebai chuckled and checked the things on his body.
All five of her spiritual weapons have been recovered, and a few of the magic weapons are damaged and need to be repaired. There is almost no loss on this trip.
He also took three pieces of mermaid silk and twelve mermaid pearls from the Mermaid Kingdom. These are priceless treasures, and are unique items that cannot be found anywhere else.
"When I have some free time, I will use the shark silk to make a set of robes. Then I will be protected from all kinds of spells and have an additional means of protecting my life."
Jiang Yuebai took out the ring given to her by Shen Huaixi, which was Tiannanxing’s magic storage weapon.
The divine imprint on it has been erased, and Shen Huaixi copied some of his research notes on Arisaema.
After Jiang Yuebai used his spiritual sense to look through it, he discovered that in addition to spirit stones of various grades, the most numerous items were books and jade slips.
These books and jade slips are the life's work of Tian Nanxing, recording the properties of various spiritual plants and the detailed grafting process, growth and mutation conditions.
Later, he even began cross-species grafting, grafting animal bones onto himself.
Seeing this, Jiang Yuebai thought of the time when he dug out Xie Jingshan's sword bone, and still felt that he died too easily!
The demon clan seldom uses magic weapons, as their strongest magic weapons are themselves. Therefore, Tiannanxing does not have any magic weapons, only some bottles and jars.
Most of them were strange things he had researched. Jiang Yuebai found the jade slips used for recording and discovered that 90% of them were poisons, targeting various aspects with various miraculous poisons.
"You're lucky. I'll use your poison to slowly overcome my own flaws and try to turn myself into the most poisonous vine in the world!"
Jiang Yuebai only recently regained his clarity of mind and remembered that if one takes too many pills, the efficacy of the medicine will be reduced, and if one is exposed to too much poison, one will definitely develop resistance to the poison.
It was like being struck by lightning. The first bolt of lightning made her lie down for half a month. In the last day, there were more than ten bolts of lightning, but she didn't feel anything at all. She just felt uncomfortable and wanted it to happen again.
"There are so many things to do. My spiritual life has become more fulfilling again. It's wonderful!"
Jiang Yuebai stood up, stretched his muscles, took a step forward, and flew down from the top of the mountain.
At the edge of the forest, Xie Jingshan swept his sword, and large numbers of trees fell down. He stood up from the ground and swung several swords downwards. The sword light was shining, and the fallen trees were immediately chopped into logs of equal size.
The little Huotou, covered in golden flames, lay at the edge of the forest, yawning and turning over, with no intention of offering to help.
The golden flames above the little Huodou's head gathered into a small three-legged golden bird, which chirped at Xie Jingshan.
After Jiang Yuebai landed, she waved her hand and the piled logs next to her were put into her storage ring.
"Xie Jingshan, chop faster. This amount of wood is not enough to build a row of houses."
Upon hearing this, Xie Jingshan, whose spiritual energy was almost exhausted, bared his teeth and said, "Can you use up a row of houses? Just build a large courtyard. Don't push your luck!"
"How can we not use it all?" Jiang Yuebai counted on his fingers, "Anan and I live in a room each. We need a quiet room each for reading and practicing, right? I also need an alchemy room, a tool room, and a puppet woodworking room. When the spiritual field is dug, the tools must have a tool room, right? There must be different storage rooms for spiritual medicines and seeds, right? And there are nests of green-armored bees over there, so there must be a place to collect honey, right? When I find Yunchang, I need a place to train spiritual beasts..."
Xie Jingshan’s face became greener and greener. He pushed away Xiaolu who was watching the fun. It seemed that he was not going to build a house, but a city!
"I quit!"
Xie Jingshan threw away his sword and decided to strike.
Jiang Yue's face fell, "What did you say?"
Xie Jingshan felt guilty, folded his hands, and said weakly, "This is too much for me to finish by myself, and I'm not good at building houses, I'm afraid it will be ugly and make you cry, how about this, you write down your requirements, I'll go to Shanhai Tower to find a group of craftsmen, and build you a magical instrument-shaped house that can be put away and put down at will."
"I'll pay for the expenses and materials. I'll provide pavilions, terraces, waterside gardens, and everything else. I promise to arrange everything well for you. Besides, if you build so much, the forests here will be bald, and you won't have enough wood, right?"
Jiang Yuebai thought about it and said, "That makes sense. Let's do it this way! But we have to build the yard that's already under construction. We need a place to stay first. We can't sleep in the wild. Let's continue."
Xie Jingshan: … …
Jiang Yuebai waved his hand, leaving Xie Jingshan to continue chopping trees, and went to find Lu Nanzhi alone.
The dragonfly and butterfly fairies discovered Jiang Yuebai and immediately flew to her, landed on her white hair, danced their wings happily, and absorbed the scent of her white vines.
"Anan, what's going on?"
Lu Nanzhi looked at Jiang Yuebai, pointed at the two-story building and yard drawn on the wooden board and said, "How is it?"
Jiang Yuebai nodded with satisfaction, "It's very elegant, but I don't know if Xie Jingshan can build it according to the picture."
Lu Nanzhi thought about it and said, "It's probably difficult."
Jiang Yuebai waved his hand and said, "It doesn't matter. If he can't build it well, just let him figure it out on his own. If I don't let him do something for me, he will definitely start to have wild thoughts and become uneasy."
"Anan, please help me deal with the wood. I have planned the spiritual fields. Shanhai Tower also gave me a lot of spiritual medicine seeds. I have to plant them quickly. I need a lot of farming puppets."
"good."
The two of them were processing wood by the river. Lu Nanzhi said, "Everything is good here, except that the spiritual energy is a little thin. It lacks a spiritual vein."
Jiang Yuebai said in distress, "Spiritual veins can only be found by chance, so just go with the flow. What are your plans next?"
Lu Nanzhi swung the axe and chopped it down hard, splitting the whole log into two.
"From the time I was born until now, I have never really appreciated the mountains and rivers of the Earth Spirit Realm. Before I leave here, I want to walk around and take a look. What about you?"
"I will go back to the demon tribe. I can't stay for sixty years, so I will stay as long as I can. There is no conflict there, so I can concentrate on my cultivation for a while. This is also what I promised the sacred tree as a condition for helping me solve the demon tribe's bloodline problem."
Lu Nanzhi and Jiang Yuebai looked up and smiled at each other.
"Then send a letter to each other, and be well, and we will go to the upper realm together when the time comes."
"Um!"
