For Ajahn, tidying up the backyard wasn't a big deal. She knew some Taoist arts and had seen workers build ponds at home, so she finished it in two nights.
The pond is three times larger than it was at the White Mansion, and Magikarp can finally return to its original form and swim in it.
A-Jiang still arranged artificial rocks and bluestones by the pond, scattered various gemstones, and buried earth, water, and wood elemental stones to nourish the pond.
Only after catching river fish and planting lotus seeds could the task be considered complete.
Under the cover of night, Ajahn released the Magikarp, which excitedly circled around inside several times.
"Magi-King, we've arrived at the Azure Lotus Sect. This is a courtyard under Chu Yufeng. Do you like it?"
Ajahn asked, playing with its whiskers.
Magikarp jumped out of the water and did a somersault, looking very happy.
"Then you'd better behave yourself. There are many cultivators here. Don't let them see you. If they stew you, I'll have nowhere to complain."
Ajahn poked its head as a warning.
Magikarp spun around again and spat out three jets of water towards the open space to the side.
Ah Jiang's temples throbbed as he looked at him: "You mean you can defeat the opponent?"
Magikarp happily splashed water and nodded, looking quite triumphant.
Ah Jiang was helpless; he was a coward himself, so how could his spirit beast be so fierce?
"You silly fish, with your skills, you're just ingredients for a whole fish feast. You should obediently cultivate properly and learn to talk, so we can chat then."
Magikarp stared at her with his big fish eyes, looking at her as if she were not very smart.
Ajahn sighed silently.
After finishing her chores, A-Jiang returned to her study; she would be studying the "Bai Ze Myriad Realms Compendium" that evening.
She visualized the book for a moment, then reached out and grabbed at the void, and sure enough, a golden book appeared in her hand.
The book had a picture of Bai Ze on the wall of the Bai family's house, and in the four corners were the heads of auspicious beasts that A Jiang did not recognize.
The words "Bai Ze Wan Jie Pu" are written in the lower middle.
She opened the book. A faint golden light emanated from it.
The fragments of light scattered into the air, forming a blurry picture that gradually became clearer and more expansive.
First came a vast, boundless space, indistinguishable in terms of up, down, left, right, front, and back, with endless darkness in all directions.
Then, after an unknown amount of time, a glimmer of light appeared in a certain spot, gradually illuminating the entire space, and all the darkness receded.
No matter how vast the space is, it will be filled with light.
The white light slowly dissipated, and white and black dots appeared in the space.
It's a strange feeling. Even though the entire space has returned to black, because of the light, you can see black instead of nothingness.
These black and white particles, varying in size, collide with each other, constantly emitting light, adding a variety of colors beyond black and white.
Once the entire study was included, Ajahn seemed to have fallen into a real world.
A-Jiang was filled with mixed feelings, and thought helplessly to himself, "What, is this a deluxe cutscene?"
The scene before him slowly disappeared, and when A-Jiang came to his senses, the open pages of the book had already been closed.
It was already inaccessible when I tried to open it.
Ah Jiang was speechless. What was going on?
Remembering what Bai Ze had told her, she guessed that the conditions for opening it had not been met.
My cultivation level is too low right now, so even if I have a divine artifact, it will be difficult to make a difference. I should focus on improving my cultivation level.
She touched her forehead; to outsiders, it was invisible, but she could clearly feel the presence of the two beads.
The white beads, like a gentle stream, constantly nourished her body, improving her physique and aptitude. Even without deliberate cultivation, her spiritual energy was constantly accumulating, and one day it would converge into a vast ocean.
The black bead, however, seemed even more mysterious. According to Ajahn Chah, it appeared to nourish the soul.
Normally, someone at the sixth level of Qi Refining can release their divine sense, but she already shows signs of releasing her divine sense.
"There's still plenty of time. As long as I preserve myself, I can advance smoothly in the future without having to compete for a single chance at immortality like others."
Ah Jiang felt that he had already had quite a few adventures, and that accumulating experience peacefully was much better than going on adventures. He should prioritize stability.
