Zuo Qingya removed the protective barrier and looked at the mess on the ground, speechless.

"There are so many fish and shrimp, all lively and jumping around."

"There are indeed quite a lot, but I don't know if these are positively mutated seafood."

"Even if it's not for us, we can still eat it. After all, we have antidote pills. Who cares? Let's eat it first."

"That's okay too."

After the meal was ready, Torulata praised it repeatedly, "Wow... this is really delicious, it smells so good, it's the first time I've ever eaten anything so delicious." As she spoke, her tail twitched, causing dust to get onto the table.

Torurata apologized repeatedly in embarrassment, "I'm sorry, I got too excited and couldn't control my tail."

Zuo Qingya looked at Torurata's tail and said, "Torurata, didn't you say that your people's tails would turn into legs after they came ashore? Why is your tail still the same?"

Torurata shook his head: "I don't know either! I don't know what happened, why this is happening."

"Alright then!"

Zuo Qingya built a pool for Torurata, large enough to hold it.

Torurata lay down inside and was very satisfied.

And there she was, already enjoying herself. Next to Torurata was a floating plate with food on it. Torurata picked up a piece of food and put it in her mouth, squinting her eyes in enjoyment. "Ah, if only I could have come up here sooner, I could have enjoyed this. It's so wonderful, I've never felt so comfortable before."

In the evening, everyone returned to where they were supposed to be.

Zuo Qingya didn't cultivate in her room, but instead found a place a bit further away to cultivate. After all, her strength was what it was, and cultivating in her room would just be disturbing Xia Hua's cultivation, because she would absorb all the spiritual energy. How could Xia Hua possibly cultivate then, right?

Zuo Qingya found a pretty good place, but the vines in the mountains were restless and kept trying to cut her off.

Zuo Qingya grabbed the vine, and flames began to ignite on her hands, burning the vine red-hot. However, the vine was not affected in the slightest and still tightly wrapped around her body. Zuo Qingya was a little angry. She circulated her spiritual energy and shook the vine off her body.

If it weren't for these vines, this place would be a good place for cultivation.

Zuo Qingya channeled her spiritual energy into the roots of the vines, following the trail to find the source.

"Found it."

Zuo Qingya reached out and grabbed the strange thing in her hand; it turned out to be a little person wearing a bellyband.

"Let me go, let me go now."

What are you?

"Let me go, and I'll tell you."

Zuo Qingya loosened her grip, and the little boy's eyes darted around. Seeing that Zuo Qingya had let go, he tried to run away.

But how could it escape Zuo Qingya's grasp? In no time, it was caught by Zuo Qingya again.

The little man struggled and cursed.

Zuo Qingya didn't speak, she just looked at the little man, who deflated.

"Alright, alright, I'll tell you, but you have to leave my original body."

Zuo Qingya asked in confusion, "Your true form?"

"Yeah, right under your butt."

"Uh??? I'm sorry, I didn't mean to." Zuo Qingya apologized subconsciously.

The little man was taken aback. He hadn't expected Zuo Qingya to apologize. He quickly waved his hand and stammered, "It's okay, it's...it's alright."

"Huh???" Zuo Qingya left her spot and found a small seedling with small red fruits growing on the spot where she had just been sitting.

"What is this?" Zuo Qingya searched her memory. Could this be ginseng?

"Are you ginseng?"

"Hmph...I already know, why are you still asking?"

Ginseng? Could it be very valuable? This is ginseng, after all. Let's not worry about its value for now, let's get it ashore first.

"Hey little ginseng, I have a space inside. Do you want to go in? The spiritual energy there is quite good. It's not safe for you to be out here all alone."

"space?"

Zuo Qingya nodded, "That's right!"

"Do you want to go in and play? If you don't like it, you can come out later."

The little ginseng thought for a moment and said, "Then you must swear that you won't hurt me, and I'll go in with you."

Zuo Qingya nodded, "Okay, that's fine."

After Zuo Qingya finished making her vow, Little Ginseng very consciously grabbed Zuo Qingya's clothes.

"We're going in now, get ready."

"Okay, it's ready."

When the little ginseng opened its eyes, it found itself in a different place. This human really hadn't lied to it; the spiritual energy here was much richer than outside. Moreover, it could sense that there were many treasures here. It liked this place and couldn't wait to go out and transplant its original body here. It had decided that it would retire here.

After settling the little ginseng in, Zuo Qingya breathed a sigh of relief. She hadn't expected it to go so smoothly, unbelievably smoothly. She had just managed to abduct the little ginseng and even bring it into her own consciousness space.

Zuo Qingya didn't cultivate outside, but returned to her room, lay down on the bed, and fell asleep.

What she didn't expect was that she was still absorbing spiritual energy while she was sleeping. Fortunately, Xia Hua's cultivation level was not high, and that little bit of spiritual energy was enough for her to cultivate.

The next morning, Zuo Qingya stretched and yawned. There was something delicious to eat as soon as she came out. She didn't stand on ceremony, sat down in her seat, and started eating her breakfast. After eating, she wanted to go out.

But Xia Hua called out to him.

Where are you going?

Zuo Qingya thought for a moment and then told the truth, "I want to go to the Southern Base to take a look."

What are you going there for?

Zuo Qingya didn't know what to say, so she could only say perfunctorily, "Something came up."

"Alright!" Xia Hua didn't want to come along either. After all, the Southern Base was so far away, and taking her along would only be a burden. She needed to focus on her cultivation; her strength was too weak to be of any help.

Zuo Qingya thought of something and took out a large box from her consciousness space.

With a loud bang, Xia Hua was startled.

What is this?

Zuo Qingya pointed at the box mysteriously and said, "Open it and you'll know."

"Uh??? Okay then!"

Xia Hua curiously opened the box, only to find it filled with a whole box of water-type crystal cores.

Wow... so many crystal cores? Where did they come from?

“A few days ago, I went to the beach, and these crystal cores were obtained from the sea.”

"Wow, that's a lot! With so many crystal cores, my abilities will definitely increase significantly."

"Thank you, Zuo Qingya."

"You're welcome."

At this moment, Zuo Qingya took out another item and handed it to Xia Hua.

Xia Hua took it and asked curiously, "What is this?"

"My mom calls this the 'Qiankun Pattern,' a multi-functional storage magic item. You can think of it as a space that can store a lot of things, making them easy to access at any time."

Huh??? It seems to also have teleportation and item trading capabilities.
