The small-circle classmate reunion has come to an end, and the construction of the "Cloud Desert" slogan site seems to have been put on the agenda.
Originally, Zhang Guodong should have been consolidating his cultivation and diligently training to prepare for the opening of the "Demon Battle Battlefield" three years later! But having survived this ordeal, Zhang Guodong switched to the arduous path of "Dharma Cultivation," embarking on the path of ancient cultivation. This plan had to be changed.
"Lord Chixiao reminded us that to cultivate magical power, one must cultivate quickly. The only way is through the comprehension of the Laws of Life. The deeper the comprehension, the easier the cultivation will be. But how easy is it to comprehend them? Laws are not something one can easily touch. Even those old guys who have lived for hundreds of years probably have very little understanding of the Laws of Life. To break through to level 100, what level must one reach?"
Zhang Guodong felt that his future would be fraught with difficulties and pressure as he cultivated magical powers.
"But giving up is not my style. I have a nine-story pagoda. The second floor has a gravity environment that enhances my physical cultivation. I can now hold on until I'm halfway to the riverbank. If I can hold on until I reach the riverbank, or even the river itself, there might be a new surprise?"
After spending several days in the tranquil Peach Blossom Abode, Zhang Guodong contacted Qin Hao.
Both parties signed the agreement, and the construction team immediately set off.
Zhang Guodong didn't need to worry about transporting building materials like stone. He was responsible for the overall design of the environment, turning the slogan site into a comfortable place, where he might stay for a long time.
"The desert, on Earth, is considered a relatively harsh place for plants. But on the other hand, the tenacity with which plants grow reveals a certain profound truth of the laws of life. This helps me to understand the laws of life!" Zhang Guodong exhaled, his confidence reaching its peak.
"Zhang Guodong, your senior sister invites you." At noon that day, Zhang Guodong was opening up in the orchard, feeling the breath of nature; the relaxing feeling was wonderful.
This feeling is absolutely wonderful!
However, this initial integration and feeling is far from understanding the laws of life, and Zhang Guodong has a long way to go.
For several days in a row, aside from official business, Zhang Guodong was out and about. Morning, noon, evening, midnight—every time of day. And he did achieve some results.
The level of vitality varies at different times. This feeling is real and profound, unlike what external scientific research theories suggest. This time, however, it left a mark on Zhang Guodong's heart.
We usually only say that it's theoretically true, but in reality, most people find it difficult to describe clearly and profoundly how it actually works. This is the difference between insight and theory.
Beside them, Erhei and Erqing lazily crawled around, diligently absorbing and refining the abundant life force within the crystal in their bellies.
Zhang Guodong's current crystal wealth rivals that of any mid-level power, and he's willing to spend those crystals to help Erhei and the others successfully become monsters.
Why is it only referring to wealth comparable to that of a medium-sized power?
He has indeed accumulated a large number of crystals, ranging from low-grade to high-grade, even top-grade crystals! But when it comes to other resources, such as the manufacture and storage of magical artifacts, talismans, and pills, as well as various rare resources that are hard to buy with crystals, human resources, information resources, and so on, Zhang Guodong is lacking.
It can't compare to the deep foundation of those powerful forces!
For example, Zhang Guodong now knows that the "Seven-Turn Azure Dew Pill" of the Wood Emperor is indeed a top-grade rare medicine for the physical body! It can actually guarantee that the physical body will not die for a year! It is extremely heaven-defying!
That single pill is probably worth one-sixth of all my resources besides the Nine-Story Pagoda! And I might not even be able to buy it. Good things are always in the hands of a very few.
Compared to this, Zhang Guodong still sighed. He was still too poor!
Just as I was enjoying the breath of nature and feeling happy, I was suddenly disturbed by the green bamboo.
He sighed; he had only just entered a meditative state. It was truly difficult to cultivate freely in Peach Blossom Spring; these women kept interfering.
The woman was quite oblivious; after bothering Zhang Guodong, she went straight to play with Li Yun and Qin Lina.
Zhang Guodong entered the courtyard, where Xuan Qingban was already outside, sitting on a chair, waiting for him. "Senior Sister, what brings you here?" Zhang Guodong sat down abruptly and asked curiously. However, he had a hunch that it was probably related to the "Golden Body Talisman."
Zhang Guodong had no objection to any decision Xuan Qingxuan made.
Anyway, I've told her my idea, and how she does it is none of my business.
"I've decided to accept your suggestion. Since we can't get a spot in the 'Demon-Fighting Battlefield' through legitimate channels, the only way is to ambush and kill!" Xuan Qingxuan said calmly.
Although Zhang Guodong knew she was a decisive woman, hearing this still made him more wary. This woman was decisive, straightforward, and even more dangerous!
"It's nothing, Senior Sister, you're too kind. With your and the other senior brothers' abilities, I'm confident that the spot will be a piece of cake. If there's nothing else, I'll be going now!" Zhang Guodong said politely, then prepared to stand up and leave.
Even if you can't fully open your mind and soul to experience nature while you're out in the world, you can still continue your research on the "Azure Heaven and Yellow Springs Formation," this incomplete formation, once you enter Peach Blossom Spring.
"Qianzhen, this illusion array you've created has surprised Zhang Guodong. It's definitely more powerful than a typical illusion array. He believes that this 'Qianzhen' can be further improved, and its power will become even stronger. With Xiao Daibu's identity now fully revealed, Zhang Guodong feels unprecedented pressure, especially worried about him. Although the cultivation world isn't allowed to interfere too much with mortals, what if..."
Zhang Guodong didn't believe this utter nonsense, which offered no guarantees whatsoever.
"Wait, I'd like to ask Junior Brother Zhang for help!" Xuan Qingwei said immediately.
"What?!" Zhang Guodong was astonished.
"If Junior Brother Zhang helps me secure one spot, then I'll help you get the second one!" Xuan Qingwei then offered a huge windfall. Together they would obtain the "Golden Body Talisman"!
Xuan Qingban believed that Zhang Guodong would find the allure of the "Demon Battlefield" irresistible, making the "Golden Body Talisman" essential. While Zhang Guodong alone might not have a high chance, a joint effort would greatly increase their chances.
Zhang Guodong had no choice but to agree!
However, she misjudged Zhang Guodong's situation.
"Senior Sister, I'm not very interested in obtaining this 'Golden Body Talisman' through robbery. My cultivation level is too low; it's best not to participate. The risk is too great!" Zhang Guodong refused without hesitation. Then he turned and went upstairs.
Xuan Qingban stared blankly at Zhang Guodong, utterly bewildered. How could Zhang Guodong resist such a temptation? Impossible!
This was probably something Direnci hadn't anticipated! She had lost control of Zhang Guodong.
Zhang Guodong felt a surge of smug satisfaction after refusing Xuan Qingban's offer! She probably never imagined that he already possessed a "Golden Body Talisman." Why risk so much to seize a second one?
But Zhang Guodong sensed that Xuan Qingwei wasn't about to give up so easily; her determined gaze made him feel disgusted. What a persistent woman!
However, no matter what you say, he won't go.
He wasn't so impulsive as to pounce on a beautiful woman's skirt!
Composing himself, Zhang Guodong stepped into Peach Blossom Spring.
Peach Blossom Spring.
Beneath the mountain peak, on the Simmons bed shrouded in a thin veil, a figure sat cross-legged, a large amount of spiritual energy gathering towards her; clearly, she was cultivating.
This is Li Yun!
Seeing that her lover Zhang Guodong hadn't come in, Li Yun, having rested, started browsing the floor. She then noticed a mountain of crystals and a large quantity of mineral materials.
This is a big change from before!
This crystal is incredibly precious!
She was stunned! Her husband actually owned so many crystals? Probably no less than a million! A million! She knew, of course, how enormous that number was!
Fortunately, Zhang Guodong had stored all the mid-grade and higher quality crystals in his high-grade storage bag. Crystals and materials were scattered everywhere in this paradise. Magical artifacts and other items were also stored away.
Otherwise, Li Yun would be terrified!
As a result, the girl couldn't calm down and it took her several hours to settle down and start cultivating. She didn't even consider using the crystals to cultivate, even though that would have made her progress faster.
"This silly girl!" Zhang Guodong shook his head, both amused and exasperated, when he saw Li Yun directly absorbing and refining spiritual energy without using any pill crystals.
Just then, as the absorption of spiritual energy slowed down, Li Yun actually opened her eyes.
"You're awake? Are you hungry? I'll have Lina make you something to eat?" Zhang Guodong sat down on the bed, affectionately stroking her head as he smiled.
Li Yun suddenly threw herself into Zhang Guodong's arms.
"Oh, you scared me to death, honey. How do you have so many crystals?"
Zhang Guodong then realized that the girl hadn't yet entered a meditative state.
"Some of it came from the treasure hunt, and some from the restaurant's profits! The restaurant makes at least 30,000 to 40,000 low-grade crystals a month. In the future, when you're cultivating outside, just use the crystals to cultivate; that way, you'll level up faster! Before level 20, just refine as many crystals as possible; that's perfectly fine!" Zhang Guodong said truthfully.
"You can earn this much in a month?!" Li Yun exclaimed in surprise.
"Haha, don't make a fuss!" Zhang Guodong pinched the girl's nose before saying, "The Southwest Textile Market isn't very big now, it can barely be considered medium-sized, but we're the only restaurant there, it's impossible not to make money from spirit stones!"
Zhang Guodong waved his hand, and a golden, high-end storage bag appeared in his hand.
"This is a high-end storage bag with ten cubic meters of space inside!"
"So big?!" The girl's eyes lit up immediately.
Zhang Guodong smiled and said, "But there's no chance for you right now. Your cultivation level is too low. If someone finds out you're carrying a high-level storage bag, it could lead to your death!"
"You should know that even some top experts above level 50 don't have high-level storage bags!"
Li Yun immediately went into mourning.
"However, a mid-grade storage bag would suit you, but you already have one, so having more would be counterproductive. Now I'll pick out a few mid-grade magic artifacts for you!"
Li Yun immediately kissed Zhang Guodong several times, smiling broadly.
Zhang Guodong selected a mid-grade material defense inner armor, which could be worn close to the skin; a mid-grade material attack magic weapon, a magic weapon as thin as a cow's hair—top-tier among mid-grade items! He also selected a mid-grade soul attack magic weapon, which was a thin green whip!
With one defensive and two offensive measures, this is sufficient for Li Yun, who is currently only at the early stage of the Kou level. Without Zhang Guodong's Peach Blossom Spring environment, Li Yun's cultivation speed has been greatly affected!
