Chapter 271 Mirror-like Name
Qianyuan Island.
On the bare left half of the inner island, there already stands a huge mansion, divided into many layers, with corridors, courtyards, pavilions and towers... the scenery in each place is very beautiful.
There are also several inner gardens of varying sizes, where many flowers and trees have been planted and are growing rapidly and lushly. Some exotic flowers have already bloomed, emitting a faint fragrance.
Besides these ornamental flowers and trees, there are also a large number of fruit trees, flower beds, and rare medicinal herbs...
The island was filled with various buildings, and it quickly became a comfortable place to live.
The right half of the island is connected to the left peninsula by a stone bridge, and a large area of medicinal fields has been successfully developed there. There are also many spacious houses located on the edge of the island, which can be used for people to rest and stay.
Many walls and similar structures were built around the medicinal field to block out many outside views—but the real defense and protection of the medicinal field came from various formations.
Such a formation will be delivered along with the various buildings sent by the Sky Envoy, all of which meet the standards of a residence—that is, they can reach the seventh level.
From a distance, four groups of cultivators were busy working separately.
Each group of cultivators consists of one Fusion cultivator and two Suspension cultivators. The Fusion cultivator serves as the team leader.
Now, under the captain's leadership, everyone is carrying medicinal herb seeds or seedlings and planting them according to the island lord's instructions. They are using their expertise in the methods of caring for medicinal herbs to ensure that all the herbs survive.
This is a very large project.
In a place very close to the inner island and close to the river, a very wide plain was chosen as Qinghui's territory; and on the neighboring mountain peak, a huge bird's nest was built, which was Qingyu's nest. The valley below the mountain peak was the playground of these two rare beast brothers.
These two places of residence were chosen by Qinghui and Qingyu themselves, and they will be places where they love to frolic.
·
Zhong Cai and Wu Shaogan are currently on Caixia Peak of the Temple of War.
"Qianyuan Island" is the name they gave to their own Lianli Island, while "Caixia Peak" is the name they gave to Biyi Peak.
If we were to make a proper division, Lianli Island belongs to Zhong Cai of the Lingxian Sect, yet the character "Gan" from Wu Shaogan's name is used; while Caixia Peak clearly belongs to Wu Shaogan of the War God Hall, yet the character "Cai" from Zhong Cai's name is used.
"Qian Yuan" itself not only contains specific words, but also means the master of the command platform; "Cai Xia" may seem ordinary, but it is actually the embodiment of the red charm on the altar.
Neither of them were particularly good at naming things, but they came up with a decent one on a whim, and after thinking about it, they realized the meaning was quite fitting, so they settled on it.
·
Currently, accompanied by Wu Shaogan, Zhong Cai is harvesting and planting some rare medicinal herbs along the terrain of Caixia Peak.
Zhong Cai's twelve followers were the very ones working on Qian Yuan Island at that moment.
Wu Shaogan's dozen or so followers had already met with their employers and were now divided into small teams, carrying some medicinal herbs given to them by Zhong Cai, searching all over the mountains and fields for suitable places to plant them. Along the way, they would inevitably see a lot of resources. However, they would not collect them rashly, but would mark the resources or even take some defensive measures, leaving the rest to the employers to decide.
·
Zhong Cai enthusiastically picked many precious medicinal herbs.
These rare herbs are either extinct on the Flying Star Continent and therefore not found in the ancient city, or they have undergone some mutations, or they are new varieties from top-tier continents that are not recorded in his current known inheritance.
As expected of a peak energy concentration reaching level eight, some "surprises" do indeed grow in its nooks and crannies.
Wu Shaogan's main role is to accompany Zhong Cai, and he will only follow the instructions of this professional and will never overstep his bounds.
·
After visiting Caixia Peak, the residences and other accommodations on Qianyuan Island have all been settled.
Zhong Cai and Wu Shaogan continued to have their followers plant and manage the medicinal herbs in the mountains, while the two of them returned to Qian Yuan Island.
The two officially moved into the residence.
The main house was also chosen by the two of them together. It was very comfortable – its interior structure was actually similar to the bedrooms in the old city, so there was not much discomfort when resting inside.
There are also shower rooms nearby.
The two looked at each other, and though they were a little tired, they took a bath together in a good mood.
Then, they lay comfortably on the new bed, one next to the other.
And they began to gather up the initial benefits they had received—
·
The two first looked at the largest portion of the prize: the Xuan Stone Mine.
Zhong Cai took out two maps of the mineral veins.
Wu Shaogan looked at them and said, "They're all within the Xihe region. It seems our mines are located on two adjacent mountains."
Zhong Cai looked over and saw that it was true. He immediately smiled and said, "That's thoughtful of us. We can send people to mine there later, and we can do it at both places at the same time."
Wu Shaogan expressed his agreement.
·
Xiao Danhuang explained that these mines used to attract and recruit geniuses are all new mines that have not been mined since their discovery, and they are all rich mines—it's just that it's hard to see how rich they really are and how many mysterious stones they contain because of the obstruction of the stone skin.
Once you decide to mine a vein, you can apply to the two factions for miners. The geese mined by the miners will then be delivered to the mine owner regularly, according to the mine owner's requirements.
Of course, if the mine owner is not at ease, he can send a trusted confidant to supervise the work, or simply send his own subordinates to mine.
·
There's not much else to say about the abundant resources suitable for both of them.
Zhong Cai's side alone has a quota of 10,000 level-five rare herbs, which can be chosen freely. There are also a considerable number of other cultivation-related resources that are beneficial to alchemists.
The cultivation resources provided by Wu Shaogan also included a considerable number of options for independent selection, limited to the fifth level only—such as certain special cultivation environments, combat venues that could hone one's skills, and hot springs that could provide for body tempering, etc.
·
It is worth mentioning the special resource quota.
The first option is that both individuals have ten level-five, five level-six, three level-seven, and one level-eight resource slots. Regardless of their current level or time, they can go to the Treasure Pavilion to select and claim these resources.
The second type belongs to the category of culinary desires.
As cultivators advance in their cultivation level, they rarely eat at fixed times anymore, and they can go for several days without eating without dying—but this does not mean that they no longer need food. On the contrary, their needs increase as their physical bodies improve, and the required food quality also continuously improves.
Therefore, many powerful forces collect various delicious high-quality ingredients and raise rare and exotic animals. Some of these are extremely rare and become their respective specialties.
For these powerful forces, high-energy ingredients are considered a high-level benefit, and naturally, they will be allocated to outstanding disciples. Disciples who do not meet the outstanding standard will have to buy them themselves from the two forces.
The Lingxian Sect and the War God Temple also have their own specialties.
The Temple of War raises a type of Silver Pear Barbarian Sheep, a mutated savage beast. It is a group of these mutated savage beasts that appeared in a certain secret realm after being hybridized from various types of sheep savage beasts and undergoing some unknown evolutionary process.
Its reproductive capacity is just as strong as that of ordinary savage beasts. Its meat is very delicious. Moreover, it is born at the second tier. As long as it is fed enough energy food, the flock will continue to grow. In addition, the level of a single savage sheep will also continue to rise until it reaches the seventh tier, at which point it can finally stop.
The reason this wild sheep is called a "rare treasure" is not only because of its excellent taste, but also because of its powerful effects. For example, the energy it provides to cultivators is three to ten times that of other wild beasts of the same level; its energy is mild and not special, so cultivators of any attribute do not need to avoid it; it can nourish the body and repair hidden injuries, etc. Although its effects are certainly not as good as elixirs, it is still a very outstanding resource.
There are too many disciples in the Temple of War. Even if the barbarian sheep herd is huge, they cannot be allocated at will. Therefore, only a very small number of people can be allocated a share of the annual allowance.
It was included in Wu Shaogan's annual allowance, and because he was the third-ranked Fighting King, the amount was multiplied many times over...
—On another note.
The Lingxian Sect truly lives up to its reputation as a ninth-level alchemy power, boasting even more unique products.
First, there is a type of Purple Immortal Peach Wood, which is graded according to the year, with the highest grade being eight. The Purple Immortal Peach it produces is not only sweet and delicious, but also has a certain nourishing effect on the primordial spirit—of course, it is still not as good as elixirs.
Then there is the Golden Lotus Fish, which is also a rare treasure that can reach the eighth rank. Its flesh is tender and has a similar effect to the Savage Sheep, but its nourishing power is more refined.
·
The Lingxian Sect was very generous and directly gifted a forest of purple peach wood and a pond of golden lotus fish.
The peach grove has been placed in the residence of Zhong Cai and Wu Shaogan, while the golden lotus fish, which require specific water quality, has been placed in the cleanest pool on Caixia Peak.
As for the savage sheep of the Temple of War...
This thing is not easy to raise.
The Temple of War Gods was also very generous. As long as Wu Shaogan wanted to eat, they would continue to provide him with wild sheep. Even if Wu Shaogan was no longer able to climb the Sky Ranking, at most his portion would be restored to that of an ordinary genius disciple, and he would not be cut off from his food.
Besides, both families cultivate a lot of energy-rich rice and other edible crops. They may not be considered rare delicacies, but they are perfectly suitable for the disciples to eat...
·
While Zhong Cai and Wu Shaogan reconciled the various benefits, they also sent the items that had been counted back to the Resource Hall, Medicinal Herbs Hall, or other places in the ancient city, arranging them neatly.
The two also chatted casually for a few minutes:
"Let's send someone to fetch some wild sheep tomorrow."
"I'll send people to catch fish and pick peaches... Oh, and also send people to bring back rice and other grains."
"Let's do it this way."
"Let's also test the skills of those attendants."
After tidying up, the two looked at each other and set up the isolation array as usual, making the entire environment extremely safe.
Then, they all took out a mirror at the same time.
This is the key mirror of the ancient city.
When I first arrived here, the ancient city's functions were limited in many ways. Now, as time goes by, I'm constantly adapting, but I'm still unsure to what extent I've adapted.
Now that we're settled, we can take a look.
·
The ancient city's teleportation function and the mirror's ability to find people are still being slowly adapted to, and haven't had much effect yet.
It will probably take some more time.
It's not a big problem. Anyway, they'll be focusing on their cultivation and studies within their respective factions from now on, and they won't be going out for the time being.
·
Zhong Cai curiously touched the mirror and flipped through the list of malicious comments.
After arriving on the top continent, he must have offended some people, but it's unknown whether they'll amount to anything...
Wu Shaogan also moved closer to watch with Zhong Cai.
Both of them had somewhat subtle expressions.
Two selective light spots actually appeared on the mirror surface—
Zhong Cai clicked on the one that said "Flying Star Continent".
Upon entering, you'll immediately see that the red names on the list are no different from those you've seen before.
Zhong Cai then exited and clicked on the "Top Continent" light spot again.
Then……
Zhong Cai said somewhat strangely, "The result of not being able to adapt yet is that you're anonymous?"
It turns out that on the mirror that belonged to Zhong Cai, there were two lines of blurry red writing.
It was so vague that it was impossible to tell what was written on it.
Zhong Cai stroked her chin, pointed to a name that had become somewhat faded, and said, "It seems to have three characters... I guess this is Hong Shaoling, who has been poisoned by my lovesickness."
So there's one more...
Wu Shaogan frowned.
Ah Cai has always been kind and lovely, so how could anyone harbor such deep malice towards her?
Who exactly is this person?
