Finally, he turned his gaze to the cloud whale in the distant sky.
The cloud whale was so huge that it occupied a corner of the sky. Compared with it, Ning Zhuo was like an ant.
After a moment of silence, Ning Zhuo asked, "Was such a huge cloud whale once a small cloud seed?"
Song Fuli laughed softly: "Yes, that's right."
“It’s hard for outsiders to imagine, isn’t it?”
“That’s the magic of cloud seeding.”
"They are born from the sea of clouds. When they grow to a certain size, they will automatically break away from the sea of clouds and drift in all directions with the wind."
"As they drift, they will inhale and exhale the essence of the sun and the moon, absorb all kinds of energy in the sky, and encounter countless radiances and colorful clouds."
"The cloud seeds absorb them, continue to grow, and eventually transform into cloud beasts of various types with unique characteristics."
When Song Fuli said this, he also looked at the cloud whales in the sky.
He continued, "This cloud whale was not cultivated by me since childhood."
"I came across it on the way. It was by chance and with the help of a noble person that I was able to use it for my own benefit."
"According to our speculation, this cloud whale should have swallowed a large amount of majestic atmosphere during the cloud seed period and encountered the Youcong cloud."
"It hibernated in the clouds for many years. So it is huge, with a lot of storage space. It also has a very good temper and is quite gentle."
"Such a temper has both advantages and disadvantages. On the one hand, it is indeed easy to control; on the other hand, its combat effectiveness is not so ideal, even if it is at the Nascent Soul level."
Song Fuli said this and looked at Ning Zhuo: "Feiyun Country has quite a lot of specialties, especially various kinds of clouds. There are so many kinds that even I am dazzled and can't know them all."
"When you go back in the future, you can experience it for yourself."
“Being exposed to spiritual practice resources of different types and from different places is very inspiring for spiritual practice itself.”
"Mr. Ning Zhuo, you have a good knowledge of mechanical devices. The new materials can inspire you to create many mechanical devices."
Ning Zhuo nodded subconsciously, his heart pounding. But when he thought of the Lava Fairy Palace, his heartbeat suddenly disappeared.
Ning Zhuo kept staring at the cloud whale: "I heard that each cloud beast actually has its own lifespan limit. The stronger the cloud beast is and the larger its body is, the shorter its lifespan is?"
Song Fuli nodded: "Yes, that's true."
"So our cloud whale is actually old."
"In a few years, we will help it return to the Vientiane Sea of Clouds."
"Every cloud beast will fly back to its birthplace - the Wanxiang Cloud Sea - when it senses that its end is near."
"They are born there, and they will die there too, just like a cycle."
“No matter how humble or glorious the past was, we will return to where we came from, and all our achievements will be buried with the wind.”
"The past is buried, and new hope will be born. Such a Nascent Soul-level cloud beast will give birth to a large number of new cloud seeds."
"And these new cloud species will follow nature's will and float outward. Eventually, they may become various cloud beasts, or, if they are lucky, new cloud whales."
At this point, Song Fuli sighed: "The life of the cloud beast is actually very similar to our life, isn't it?"
"The cultivators of our Feiyun Nation have always had a close relationship with cloud beasts."
"Many cultivators will begin to receive and raise cloud seeds at the beginning of their practice."
"By investing various cultivation resources, the cloud seeds can be cultivated into cloud beasts of various forms."
"The huge cloud beast is our home when we are away from home. It is a fairy palace that belongs to each of us."
Song Fuli looked towards the top of the mountain. He knew there was the Lava Fairy Palace there.
He said to Ning Zhuo, "In a head-on confrontation, even our Cloud Whale cannot defeat the Lava Fairy Palace."
"But in terms of size and storage space, the Cloud Whale is much larger than the Lava Fairy Palace."
"Yunjing has other advantages, such as easy maintenance."
"It mainly consumes the clouds and spiritual energy between heaven and earth as food. It can also repair itself and heal naturally."
"And it's not so easy to repair a place like the Lava Fairy Palace."
Ning Zhuo suddenly thought of something, his expression changed slightly, and he couldn't help but ask:
"Senior Song, from what you just said, the cultivators of Feiyun Country generally cultivate cloud seeds. So, does everyone have cloud seeds?"
Song Fuli nodded and said, "Almost everyone has a cloud seed, but it is not so easy to cultivate it."
Ning Zhuo asked anxiously, "I have a question! My mother is from Feiyun Country, but among my mother's relics, there are no cloud seeds or cloud beasts."
Song Fuli said solemnly, "I haven't asked Mr. Ning Zhuo yet, what is your mother's name?"
Ning Zhuo said: "My mother's surname is Meng, and her name is Yaoyin."
"Meng Yaoyin?" Song Fuli looked puzzled when he heard this: "Why does it sound familiar?"
Ning Zhuo couldn't help but become curious and nervous: "Why, does Senior Song know my mother?"
Song Fuli frowned and thought for a while, then shook his head slightly: "It just sounds familiar, I can't remember anything at the moment."
"However, although there are so many people in Feiyun Country, there are not many people with the surname Meng. There is a clan with the surname Meng who is very extraordinary and has a very special background."
Song Fuli explained to him: "The Wanxiang Sect of Feiyun Country is a very large sect. It is in charge of almost all of Wanxiang Yunhai."
"There are twelve peaks in the Wanxiang Sect, one of which has long been controlled by the Meng family."
"The Meng family was founded on mechanical engineering and was once very powerful, but has declined in recent decades."
"The Meng family..." Ning Zhuo murmured softly, he kept this information in mind.
He did not forget the cloud beast and continued to ask:
"Although my mother has passed away, I haven't found any cloud beasts or cloud seeds among her belongings."
"If these cloud beasts are still there, where are they?"
Song Fuli shook his head: "This question is difficult for me."
"To cultivate cloud seeds, a lot of resources are needed, especially to reach the golden elixir level, which often requires a long hibernation."
"But as far as I know, Master Ning Zhuo, your mother is only a mechanical cultivator at the foundation-building stage, and it is basically impossible for her to own a golden elixir-level cloud beast."
Read the error-free version at 69shuba! 6=9+shu_ba is the first to publish this novel.
"And the cloud beasts at the Qi Refining and Foundation Building stages are not very powerful. It is very likely that it has collapsed halfway through."
Ning Zhuo sighed and said nothing.
When the two talked to this point, the subordinates of the caravan came to report to Song Fuli: "Leader, all the explosive monkeys have been counted, and there are no mistakes in quantity and quality."
After confirming it, Song Fuli laughed and said goodbye to Ning Zhuo.
Before leaving, he paused slightly, turned around and handed Ning Zhuo a talisman.
"This is a talisman we made using the cloud mud from the cloud whale."
"You can understand it as a boat ticket."
"As long as you carry it, you can enter the body of the cloud whale and ride on the cloud whale to other places."
Ning Zhuo quickly bowed to express his gratitude, and also said that although he had the ticket, he might not return to Feiyun Country with Song Fuli and his party.
Song Fuli waved his hand: "We are not going back to Feiyun Country immediately. Next, we will take a walk around Nandou Country. If the business is good, we may continue to go south."
"This talisman is not only effective in the body of the cloud whale, it is also a certificate."
"If you encounter other cloud merchants in the future, you can use this to prove to the merchant team that you have a good relationship with us. With this talisman, cultivators can still board other cloud merchants' ships and cloud beasts."
The practicality of the talisman given by Song Fuli far exceeded Ning Zhuo's imagination.
Ning Zhuo thanked him again and watched Song Fuli, carrying many mechanical fire monkeys, fly back to the Cloud Whale.
A large number of mechanical monkeys were sent into the body of the cloud whale, and the monks in the caravan took over the work.
"From now on, I'll leave it to you!"
"The inventory is complete, and the amounts all match."
"Okay, open the warehouse door and we'll put all the goods in."
The door of the storage warehouse quickly dissipated like smoke.
Then, a number of cloud beast octopuses flew out from the warehouse.
These octopuses floated in the air, stretched out their tentacles, tied up the Infernape one by one, lifted them into the air, and then slowly floated into the warehouse.
The vacant warehouse No. 188 has a very spacious space.
The warehouse was empty, without even a shelf.
The monk in charge of warehouse management came to the wall, took out his identity token, and stuck it on a key position on the wall.
He urged his magic power to infuse into the token.
The token soon emitted a faint yellow light.
The yellow light quickly spread around, penetrated into the cloud-like walls, and quickly flowed out, turning into a series of assembly line-like formations along the way.
These array patterns quickly spread to the entire wall.
The next moment, the wall deformed, like clouds and mist, and then quickly condensed together to form a huge shelf that was close to the wall and ceiling.
The octopus held the Infernape in his hand, flew into the air, and stuffed the Infernape into the compartments of the shelves.
Obviously, these compartments can be adjusted at will. The current space is just enough to accommodate a mechanical Infernape.
With the work of hundreds of octopus cloud beasts, although there were a large number of mechanical monkeys, it only took a cup of tea to arrange them all neatly.
After a final inspection, the monks of the caravan collected all the spiritual beasts and octopuses, and left.
After he left, a large cloud of mist slowly emerged, then quickly condensed to form a solid wall, replacing the gate.
At this point, Warehouse No. 188 was empty and very quiet.
Suddenly, a ripple appeared in the air.
Sun Lingtong and Yang Chanyu crawled out from the body of a mechanical fire monkey.
