Chapter 48

Luo Hengzhi: "The shop down the mountain will be renovated soon. These spiritual herbs and fruits can be teleported back to replenish our stock."

Fire Phoenix nodded in agreement, then devoured the spiritual fruit one after another, unable to stop eating.

Long Bao looked at Huo Feng and reminded her, "Huo Feng, these spiritual fruits have too much spiritual energy. Don't eat too many, or you might experience a spiritual energy chaos like last time. If that happens, you'll be a baby for life and never be able to take human form."

"Yes." Long Bao's words struck like a thunderbolt, startling Huo Feng so much that she dropped the spirit fruit she had just taken a bite of. "I won't eat it! I won't eat it! I can't stay a baby forever!"

"Alright, we can go now." Ye Zi walked over, followed by a handsome boy who looked about fifteen or sixteen years old.

The little golden snake stood with his hands behind his back. His light blue brocade robe accentuated his elegant figure and refined temperament. A faint smile played on his lips, revealing his youthful spirit!

The dragon and the fire phoenix were filled with envy, so much so that they circled the golden snake countless times before finally stopping!

Fire Phoenix: "So cool!"

Longbao: "Little snake, your transformation... is quite impressive."

Golden Snake: "Yes, I am very satisfied. I have to thank Immortal Ye Zi for the top-grade pills."

"Do you have a name? Now that you've taken human form, we can't keep calling you 'little snake' anymore," Fire Phoenix asked.

“You can call me Jinlin. I gave myself this name a long time ago,” Jin She said.

Fire Phoenix: "Okay, I'll call you Jinlin."

“Okay, Jinlin, how long have you been here? Are there any other monsters or people here?” Longbao asked.

“There used to be some, but now I’m the only one left,” the golden snake replied.

"What happened?" Ye Zi asked.

Jin Lin: "It was a thousand years ago. They all disappeared overnight. My cultivation level was too low at the time, so I had to hibernate to escape the calamity."

"You're all alone...aren't you bored being here all alone for a thousand years? Haven't you thought about going out?" Fire Phoenix asked.

Jin Lin: "I have gone out, but the spiritual energy outside is too thin, which is not conducive to cultivation at all. It is not as good as here. After going around in circles, I came back. I still prefer it here."

Ye Zi now understands why Jin Lin didn't want those Transformation Pills. He had no intention of going out again, so the remaining Transformation Pills were truly useless to him.

"You said you'd take us to see something that interests us, what is it?" Luo Hengzhi asked.

“That’s a sword, a world-shaking sword that reaches the heavens and the earth!” Jin Lin said with a serious expression.

The Sword of Creation? Upon hearing this, Luo Hengzhi felt a sudden tightness in her heart for some reason!

Ye Zi then thought of what her junior brother had casually said about Luo Hengzhi having the power to create the world. It was quite a coincidence that Luo Hengzhi didn't have a suitable weapon yet.

Jin Lin spoke again: "I see you've picked a lot of spiritual herbs by the roadside. If you need some rare spiritual herbs, I can take you to the Herb Valley first."

"Herbal Valley!" Ye Zi and Luo Hengzhi exchanged glances and decided to go to Herbal Valley to pick more herbs.

The group hadn't walked far when they began to smell an increasingly distinct herbal fragrance in the air.

“It’s in that valley just ahead,” Jin Lin pointed. “It’s right across from this mountain. We need to fly over there.”

Ye Zilu Hengzhi picked up the Fire Phoenix Dragon Treasure and flew away on her sword, with Jin Lin following closely behind.

Longbao craned his neck and exclaimed, "Wow, such a big medicinal garden with so many herbs! How do you manage it?"

“In the past, alchemists had many puppets under their command, and the herb garden was managed by puppets,” Jin Lin replied.

Using puppets to manage the herb garden is quite good, Luo Hengzhi silently kept in mind.

They planned to bring back more seeds and create a medicinal herb valley like this for Ye Zi, and also refine some puppets to help Ye Zi manage the herb garden.

Ye Zi looked at the various rare spiritual herbs with great surprise. There were some that Ye Zi did not recognize, but she could tell at a glance that they were definitely precious and rare: "The alchemist who was here before must have been very skilled in alchemy!"

Jin She nodded: "This alchemist is a ninth-grade alchemist. Many of the things he left behind may be useful to Alchemist Ye Zi. Alchemist Ye Zi can take them with her."

"A ninth-grade alchemist!" Although she knew this alchemist was extraordinary, Ye Zi was still surprised to hear that he was a ninth-grade alchemist.

Ye Zi asked, "A ninth-grade alchemist? Could this alchemist be from the Xuan Yin Sect, perhaps a reclusive master?"

My master once said that a thousand years ago, the most talented alchemist in the Lingju Sect was only an eighth-grade alchemist, and there was only one of them.

Eighth-grade alchemists are already rare, and ninth-grade alchemists are even rarer, with only three in total!

Yun Dan Pavilion and Qing Meng Sect each have a ninth-grade alchemist in charge. There is also a rather special alchemist, Lian Mo, who is very low-key and has the title of elder of Xuan Yin Sect but never takes up a post in Xuan Yin Sect.

Lianmo Danshi disliked being bound by rules and traveled around with his appearance constantly changing, so few people had even seen his true face.

“I’ve never heard him mention the Xuan Yin Sect. Everyone calls him Master Lian Dan,” Jin Lin said.

Ye Zi: "Then that's settled."

Jin Lin led Ye Zilu and Hengzhi directly to the former residence of Alchemist Lian Mo: "Alchemist Lian lived alone in this house for nearly a hundred years."

Jin Lin picked up a small box from the table and handed it to Ye Zi: "This is Master Lian's storage ring, which contains Master Lian's alchemy insights."

It turned out to be the alchemy insights of a ninth-level alchemist. Ye Zi never expected Jin Lin to tell her this. This thing could not be described as merely valuable. Jin Lin couldn't possibly be unaware of the value of these things!

Jin Lin met Ye Zi's gaze and said frankly, "I once thought about teaching myself alchemy, but I could never get the hang of it. Later, I had to admit that I didn't have the talent for alchemy, so I gave up."

After listening, Ye Zi roughly understood the reason and said, "Alchemy mainly relies on mental power to control the heat. Your previous beast form mental power was too violent, so you couldn't master the method. But now that you have transformed into human form, you should be able to control your mental power better. I will make a copy of the information here and take it with me. You can keep the original."

"Really? You mean I'm not completely without talent for alchemy, and I can refine pills in the future?" Jin Lin beamed with joy upon hearing this, and bowed respectfully to Ye Zi. "Jin Lin thanks Immortal Ye Zi for your guidance."

Ye Zi helped Jin Lin up: "You have always been kind to others, and I was able to get Master Lianmo's alchemy insights here because of your guidance and information. I should be thanking you."

Jin Lin was a little embarrassed: "Come on, there are many herbs and seeds outside, I'll take you to pick them."

Luo Hengzhi and Ye Zi did not completely sweep through the Herb Valley this time, but left half for the Golden Snake, which was enough for Jin Lin to practice on.

"Master, come quick! There's something fun here!" Fire Phoenix and Dragon Baby hopped around on a soft patch of ground.

Luo Hengzhi and Ye Zi walked over, and Ye Zi asked, "Is there something unusual about this land?"

“Yes, this land is alive. We heard her sneeze just now. She's a cute little girl.” Longbao said.

Ye Zi picked up Long Bao and Huo Feng: "Now that you know it's a girl, why are you still jumping around on top of her?"

Longbao: "We called her to come out, but she wouldn't. So we jumped down to look for her. When we jumped, we found that Q-Q ...

"Can land... also take human form?" Luo Hengzhi asked curiously.

Ye Zi: "Generally, when all things acquire spirituality, they can transform into human form after cultivation and seizing an opportunity, but only a few can transform into human form."

Longbao: "Hey, little sister, come out. We saw you just now. Do you want to come with us? We have lots of delicious food at home, and my master can buy you lots and lots of pretty clothes."

"Longbao, stop talking like those people online. They all sound like bad guys who kidnap children," Huofeng complained.

“I’m not lying, I’m telling the truth,” Long Bao retorted. “Young girls all like pretty clothes, and Master will definitely be willing to buy them for them. Besides, Master Ye Zi can also make all kinds of beautiful robes for her.”

"Will there really be beautiful clothes?" The land really did turn into a little girl dressed in plain clothes.

"Yes, of course there is. If you don't believe me, ask my master. Isn't it my master?" Long Bao looked at Luo Hengzhi.

Luo Hengzhi nodded: "As long as you are willing to sign a contract with me as your Daoist partner, you will have an endless supply of beautiful clothes to wear in the future. I can swear that."

"Okay." The little girl ran to Ye Zi's side and touched Ye Zi's hand with her forehead. A beam of spiritual light connected Ye Zi and the little girl's foreheads at the same time, and a contract was formed.

The next moment, Ye Zi received all the information from the little girl.

She was actually the spirit of the pill that the alchemist had obtained by accident. After the alchemist passed away, the little girl was left without a master and stayed alone in the herb valley.

"Your name is Xiao Mo?" Ye Zi asked.

Xiao Mo's name is taken from the character "Mo" in Lian Mo. Xiao Mo nodded: "Yes, Master."

"Alright, you'll follow me from now on." Prefect Ye Zi also helped Xiao Mo change into a pink and white robe.

Xiao Mo loved pink and said with a smile, "Thank you, Master."

The next second, Xiao Mo disappeared directly into Ye Zi's sea of ​​consciousness.

Fire Phoenix: "Hey, we're both forming a contract, so why is it that her piece of land can enter the master's sea of ​​consciousness?"

"She is a spirit, not just the land, but can also conjure up a personal space suitable for the growth of all kinds of spiritual herbs," Ye Zi explained.

Longbao: "Wow, a portable planting space! Does this mean I can plant whatever I want wherever I go?"

"That means we'll have an endless supply of fresh spiritual fruits on our journey from now on." Instantly, Fire Phoenix had no objection to Xiao Mo being able to enter the sea of ​​consciousness. "Then Xiao Mo will have to work hard from now on. It's only right that Xiao Mo can live in the master's sea of ​​consciousness."

The golden snake walked over and saw that the black soil was gone: "Would she be willing to follow you? Every time I come, she doesn't want to talk to me."

"She's doing well now. After the alchemist left, she was always sullen and unhappy. She should be happier with you guys."

"Let's go, I'll take you to find that precious sword."

Ye Zi noticed that Jin She's expression turned serious when he mentioned the sword, indicating that he valued it highly. She asked, "Is that sword special?"

“Yes, it’s very special. It’s a weapon of the gods, and the residual power of the gods still lingers. I can only see that sword from afar, but I can’t get close to it. So whether you can get it or not depends on your fate with that sword,” the golden snake said. “However, for some reason, when I see you, I think of that sword. Perhaps you are the people that sword has been waiting for.”

"A god?" Luo Hengzhi asked, "You mean that sword came from the realm of gods?"

“Maybe,” Jin Lin said. “There’s a huge rock next to that sword with the words ‘Creation Sword of the Gods’ carved on it. The Gods should be in the realm of gods, but I don’t know anything more than that.”

Ye Zilu Hengzhi followed Jin Lin to find the sword. This time they traveled for a long time, and along the way, Ye Zilu Hengzhi picked a lot of spiritual fruits to store.

"Look, there's that sword." The golden snake pointed to the giant sword that suddenly appeared in front of them, standing tall between heaven and earth. "Isn't it amazing that such a huge sword can only be seen from where we are now?"

"Yes," Longbao exclaimed, craning his neck to look up. "What a huge sword!"

Fire Phoenix glanced at Dragon Treasure's silly look and said, "We only saw this sword after we got here. Usually, this means that there is a very powerful sword spirit guarding this sword!"
