Before leaving, Xingye bid farewell to everyone, asking them to protect Zhao Xixiang, and also subtly sowed discord between them and the Master.
Xiao Jia was clever and didn't confront him at this moment. He forged the Wind-Stabilizing Pearl with black iron, turning it into a Black Iron Mystic Pearl. It wasn't valuable and didn't possess much spiritual energy, but it served as a keepsake.
He also asked Xingye to bring all the food Zhao Xi wanted to make from the kitchen.
Xiao Ding, like a silly big dog, rushed over to hug Hoshino, hoping that nothing would change.
Hoshino pushed him away with a cold expression: "Dream on!"
Xiao Ding was very sad, even more so than when he left the animal park, and he cried loudly.
Hoshino stepped onto a cloud of black mist, rose into the air, and looked down.
The surrounding area was a wasteland, but here it was lush with greenery and picturesque, like a paradise.
Perhaps many years from now, this place will truly feel like a dream.
Now that he's woken up from his dream, it's time for him to get back to his own business.
"Hmph, they're gone."
He didn't know who he was saying goodbye to, and mumbled something.
"dad!"
A colorful little bird fluttered its wings and flew up.
Who is your father?
Hoshino turned around and snorted.
The little bean sprout tilted its head, trying to stand on the black mist, but missed its target. It quickly flapped its wings and hovered in mid-air.
"Don't touch my demonic energy!" Hoshino said sternly, catching her and tossing her towards the Beast Garden. "Don't follow me!"
"No~"
The little bean sprout spun in the air and chased after it.
Hoshino said fiercely, "If I get hungry, I'll eat you up!"
Little Sprout: "If Daddy gets hungry, I'll pick flowers for you to eat! I'll suck the nectar, and you can eat the flowers~"
The black fog flew very slowly.
The little sprout actually caught up and stopped panting on Hoshino's shoulder.
The little bird is exhausted!
Hoshino looked at her: "I don't eat flowers."
The little bean sprout tilted its head: "You ate it! You're a dragon, and the headmistress said dragons are omnivores and can eat anything!"
Hoshino: "I eat meat."
"Alright then, we can eat an entire mountain!" The little bean sprout bird, so tiny, had quite the big mouth, patting its belly with its wings. "I can eat a lot! Hmph hmph~ I'm going to eat an entire mountain~ La la la~"
"...Shut up if you want to follow me!"
A flock of little birds perched on his shoulder, squatting and standing up, tapping their bodies to the rhythm, singing silently.
Hoshino: "..."
...
The Five Spirits Sect's mountain gate was reduced to ruins, bombarded by the magic of a great immortal, resulting in countless deaths and injuries of demonic beasts and chaos of spiritual energy.
Unless time and manpower are spent on land reclamation and the reintroduction of spirit seeds and demonic beasts, it cannot be repaired.
All the valuable treasures were looted, and the cultivators went to other sects. These ruins were of little value to other sects, so they were left to lie fallow.
Luo Haiqing searched through the ruins, each time bringing back a pile of bamboo scrolls.
It contains records of formations, alchemy, weapon crafting, many cultivation techniques, and blueprints for repairing buildings.
Even books on how to use magical artifacts to make clothes and jewelry.
These bamboo rolls were piled up into a small mountain in the open space.
Zhao Xi wanted to squat down and look through it, but was shocked: "Where did this come from?"
"That's the advantage of the Void Stone. The Five Elements Sect's library is in the clouds; you have to fly up to find it."
"No one took it?"
"The major sects don't care about these classic texts, and the smaller sects don't need so many. The Five Spirits Sect loves to snatch everything, all sorts of things, and maybe they have some secret formulas to help the little bird perfectly form its core."
He flew away again after he finished speaking.
This time I plan to go to Qixing Town and ask around in the black market.
Indeed, it has all kinds of books.
Zhao Xi squatted down and searched for a while, found a few cookbooks, took them to the kitchen, and read them while making syrup.
When she came out again, she saw Ah Feng and the kids squatting by the pile of books, looking very eager.
Ah Feng's wandering speed is extremely fast; he reads books using a quantum mechanics method, categorizing them and piling them into several piles after finishing.
Xiao Jia is reading about cultivation techniques, Xiao Ding is reading a collection of cultivation stories, Shu Mi and Shu You are holding a picture book, and Shu Yan is actually looking for a pharmacopoeia for Mei Mei.
"A-Tu, I see there's a flowerbed on the hillside that's all empty around. Could we build a pavilion and a walkway there, and turn it into a garden library?"
Atu nodded and went to build it.
Before Luo Haiqing returned, buildings sprang up from the ground, vines turned into arched bridges, and wisteria flowers hung down, attracting butterflies to dance.
The cultivators lived a rough life, but Zhao Xi couldn't stand it.
Who knows, maybe some little one will come here to snuggle up someday, stumble upon a book, have an epiphany, and then form a golden core?
"Director! Come out here, I've brought you some work."
Saria descended from the sky and arrived at the mountain gate, letting out a loud roar that summoned Zhao Xixiang out of the kitchen.
He was holding three puppies in his arms, and the large sword he was wielding had a string of kittens on it.
These kittens are of different ages; some are only the size of a palm, as if they were just born, while others are two or three months old, but are still very small.
The kittens were bound together by the magic rope around their waists, meowing and trying to climb away, but the other kittens would pull them back.
The three dogs in his arms were much more well-behaved, each obediently holding onto Salya's arm with its paws, hanging on him.
Salia supported their bellies with her other hand, and only stepped into the mountain gate when she saw Zhao Xi about to arrive.
At least they're a bit more polite than before.
"Here you go!"
Seeing Zhao Xi's questioning gaze, Saliya explained, "After you left, we cleaned up the hill. These twelve cats and three dogs all have spiritual roots."
