Some demonic beasts only live in the lower immortal realm where spiritual energy is murky. However, their fur, bones, and scales are essential materials for alchemy and weapon crafting.
It wasn't until a certain monster became extinct that the high and mighty immortals realized that their lives and deaths were actually closely related to those of lowly monsters.
The Immortal Realm Monster Protection Alliance was thus established.
The cultivators in the alliance travel to various regions to count the number of monsters, monitor the breeding of wild monsters, rescue rare monsters, and improve their living environment.
The Kangnan demon clan is just a small branch of the kingfisher clan. Kingfishers can be seen in many mountain streams and fishponds in the mortal realm, and their numbers are not considered rare. Moreover, there is no conflict of interest between the kingfisher jewelry and the immortals in the celestial realm.
But they sent a formal invitation, indicating they would investigate the matter and bring Mao Qiu'er back to the Upper Immortal Realm for interrogation.
I've heard that Mao Qiu'er enjoys torturing and killing spirit pets and acts recklessly. If we can find her torturing and killing demonic beasts with spiritual roots when the magic weapon is available, it will be enough to give the Five Spirits Sect a hard time.
The shopkeeper of the herbal medicine shop bowed respectfully: "Please, Headmaster, put in a good word for the Five Spirits Sect and Miss Mao."
"We'll talk about it later. You can leave now, but don't interfere with our recruitment."
Zhao Xi thought he wasn't interested in the Yuan Shen Dan (Primordial Spirit Pill).
Moreover, the Hundred Beasts Garden and the Five Spirits Sect have never been on good terms.
I really don't know what kind of face this shopkeeper has to show up in front of her!
The shopkeeper of the elixir shop had been bowing and scraping, appearing very humble, but after being rejected, his old face immediately fell, and he stared at her with a gloomy expression.
Zhao Xi, fearless, glared back and sneered, "The spiritual energy in a pot of rice soup I casually boil is more concentrated than that in your Yuan Shen Pill. You don't think you can get me to help you with something so simple?"
This Yuan Shen Pill was meticulously crafted by him!
Humiliated by his skills, the shopkeeper's face turned pale and then red, but he dared not refute anything and turned back to the herbal medicine shop indignantly.
Zhao Xi wanted to yawn, so she sat down behind the stall.
Luo Haiqing tidied up the stall, set out the projection magic weapon that showed a panoramic view of the Hundred Beasts Garden, and even flew into the sky to look down at the effect, making repeated adjustments.
The children have grown tired of cat's cradle and are now playing hopscotch on the jade bricks.
These little games were all taught to them by Zhao Xi, and the quiet street became noisy and bustling.
Wu Tu Ba's clansmen had all gone to the market, but he was the only one left behind the stall, sitting on the children's little stools, watching with great interest as his son and the children played hopscotch together.
It was still early, and there weren't many demon cultivators among the passing cultivators.
Zhao Xi tried to take out the book on formations and flipped through it, but it only made her feel a little hypnotic. She took out a plate of edamame and a basin from her ring and started shelling edamame at the stall: "I made a mistake. I should have allocated more land last time and included Seven Star Town as well."
Luo Haiqing: "Principal, you are mistaken. They are absolutely unwilling to hand over Qixing Town. Qixing Town has spirit medicine shops, inns, notice boards, teahouses, magic weapon shops, and the land rent alone can bring in hundreds of millions of spirit stones over a hundred years."
Zhao Xi thought: "A hundred years... trillions of years..."
She had always wanted to complain about how rampant inflation was in this immortal realm, where spirit stones were often counted in the tens of thousands.
Couldn't some immortal learn from mortals and invent a more practical currency?
Luo Haiqing tried to do the conversion, but gave up because he was bad at math. He advised, "The food made by the headmaster is rich in spiritual energy. It might be possible to break through the lifespan limit with a mortal body. Peng Zu, the centenarian, was not an immortal. He was only made an immortal because he lived a long life."
Zhao Xi suddenly realized.
That makes a lot of sense!
However, the idea of her children reaching the Core Formation stage during her lifetime was merely an excuse.
With the demons eyeing them from the outside, and the gods in the Upper Immortal Realm fighting amongst themselves after falling into demonic ways, there's nothing wrong with forming the core early.
"You're the Hundred Beasts Garden? And you're the mortal gardener director?"
After sitting idly for an hour, a female cultivator finally came to the stall.
The newcomer was about seventeen or eighteen years old, wearing a bright green gauze dress embroidered with auspicious clouds. She had fair skin, a beautiful face, and a slender figure.
She was holding a large bamboo shoot in her arms.
The bamboo shoot looked as if it had been carved with two black holes, from which two eerie red lights shone.
These are the eyes of the bamboo shoot demon.
These two red lights will also flash, just like a person blinking.
Strictly speaking, there is no such thing as a bamboo shoot demon; the bamboo shoot demon is just a bamboo demon cub.
As its cultivation level increases, this little bamboo demon will grow thinner and longer, just like a normal bamboo.
Zhao Xi had considered the possibility of plant-based demon cultivators appearing.
But unexpectedly, the first one to arrive was the bamboo demon.
The cafeteria seems a bit too low...
If the bamboo shoots grow bigger in a few days, won't they get stuck in the door?
Even if you manage to squeeze in to eat, your head will be on the table, but your feet will have to stick out of the door...
Or maybe we should have the little fairy build a three-story building and move all the dining tables up there.
Zhao Xi was filled with mixed feelings, thinking about many things in an instant. Before she could answer, the children all came running over.
They chattered amongst themselves around the nun.
"Yes, we are the Garden of a Hundred Beasts!"
"This won't do. We need one with spiritual roots, and this one doesn't have them!"
"Pretty sister, do you have any demonic beasts with spiritual roots?"
"Oh my~" The female cultivator beamed with delight upon hearing them call her "pretty sister," and half-squatted down to pat each of their heads. "You're all so cute. What kind of demons are you?"
"Pangolin!" "Kingfisher!" "Crow!" "Woof woof woof!" "Guess!"
The female cultivator said, "Sister, my original form is a broccoli. I am Broccoli Flower, an elder of the Cuiyun Sect."
Zhao Xi thought: "..."
"I'm sorry, I don't have any suitable monsters to join you... I just wanted to ask," Broccoli looked at Zhao Xixiang, her pretty face flushed, and said somewhat shyly, "I bought a lot of pastries here a while ago, they tasted so good, I wonder if you still have any?"
Zhao Xi thought: "…………"
Broccoli stretched out her hand, her slender fingers adorned with five glowing rings that jingled – a standard gesture among celestial cultivators to indicate their wealth: "No matter how much you have, we can buy it all!"
It's certainly a good thing that people come to buy pastries, but attracting demon cultivators is the main thing.
The Cuiyun Sect is said to be a large area with excellent mountain resources, and it is not lacking in spirit stones.
However, apart from normal cultivators, most of them are demon cultivators who have become spirits from plants.
Plant-type demon cultivators grow slowly. Demon beasts with spiritual roots can form their core in a thousand years, while tree spirits with spiritual roots can only form their core in ten thousand years, a process that is outrageously slow.
Although many small plants grow quickly, such as mushrooms which can spread out spores in large areas, and bamboo shoots that sprout everywhere, very few of them have spiritual roots, probably because there is too little spiritual energy.
Therefore, it is truly rare to see a broccoli running around in the celestial realm.
After all, they are elders of a sect, so let's treat it as an exchange between sects.
Zhao Xi wanted to sell the remaining rings at a normal price and promised to make some more, agreeing to pick them up at the mountain gate in ten days.
After sitting there all morning, only two or three demon cultivators came to ask how to join the Hundred Beasts Garden; the other dozen or so people who asked questions were all there to buy food.
Zhao Xi wanted to promote the Hundred Beasts Park tirelessly.
The sun was high in the sky, and it dispelled the ethereal mist that lingered above.
A group of people suddenly came to the stall and kicked it over.
"This garbage animal park is a waste of space! Give me back my dog!"
