After finishing, Jian Ning specially sent one to Xiao Wuyu, telling him to give Liu Yan only a little meat and not too much.
After eating the bird soup, Aunt Wang felt warm all over and as if she had inexhaustible energy.
I feel much lighter now.
The remaining few should be put into the freezer quickly. They're good stuff; we can make more soup later so everyone can drink them and get some nutrition.
When they rested that evening, Jian Ning told Xiao Lingfeng about the spirit stone mine.
"Besides spirit stones, what else do we need to set up the formation? Tell me, and I'll see if I can find some for you."
Xiao Lingfeng was quite anxious; today's prediction was that there might be an extremely strong earthquake in the future.
Whether they can get away with it this time depends on how well Jian Ning and Xiao Wuyu pull it off.
"It's hard to find anything useful for setting up formations on this interface. You just keep doing what you're doing. I've already spoken to Brother Xiao today. If all else fails..."
First, set up a small array to enclose the shelter.
It takes up little space and requires less effort. Then we can expand the formation outwards. Given enough time, the two of us are confident we can get this large formation up and running. Ling Feng, don't worry.”
"Let's hurry. Like you said, let's set up a small shelter to protect the area first. It's hard to say when an earthquake will strike, so let's try to get it done sooner rather than later."
“Alright, I have enough array plates here to set up a small defensive formation. I’ll go with Brother Xiao tomorrow and get it set up,” Jian Ning agreed readily.
Sitting on the bed, he took stock of all the items used to set up the formation from his storage bracelet, and then put them into a separate storage bag.
The next day, after breakfast, he went to the school to call Xiao Wuyu to go up the mountain together.
"I have a class this morning, wait for me a bit. You got everything ready so quickly? That's fast! You must have a lot of good stuff in your treasure trove, right?"
Xiao Wuyu asked with a smile.
"I haven't even looked at the treasure vault yet. This is my own private storage. It's a collection of resources accumulated over hundreds of years. I didn't study formations much before, and although I collected some information on formations, it still seems insufficient now."
Luckily, I had killed a few bandits before. I collected some items from them, and they came in handy this time.
"Go to class, I'll wait for you in the yard." Jian Ning sat down and began to meditate, waiting for Xiao Wuyu to finish teaching the math class to the older students before they went up the mountain together.
Jian Ning took out the array plates and array flags prepared in her storage bag and buried them in the locations set by Xiao Wuyu. Then she placed a small pile of mid-grade spirit stones on the array eyes.
The formation was activated.
Ordinary mortals didn't feel anything special, but Jian Ning immediately sensed that the spiritual energy within the formation had become denser, as if the spiritual power of the surrounding world was gathering in this direction.
"Brother Xiao, what kind of formation have you set up? It's not just a simple defensive formation, is it?"
"Of course, this formation is mainly for defense, but it can also absorb spiritual energy from heaven and earth to nourish the creatures inside the formation. It is a small formation that I created myself, and its name is the Everlasting Life Tortoise Shell Formation."
Hearing Xiao Wuyu say this, they would recall the location where they had just buried the array plate. If it were connected into a solid form, wouldn't it really be the shape of a turtle? The place where the two of them were standing now was on top of the turtle's head.
"Brother Xiao, your name is quite fitting. Let's go, I'll go back to my work and won't bother you for the next few days."
Jian Ning went home to her immortal abode. Instead of rushing to mine spirit stones today, she went to the treasure pavilion.
Now that she has complete control of the Immortal Abode, all the formations automatically activate for her. The Treasure Pavilion doesn't look very big from the outside, but once you go inside, you realize that it actually uses a spatial array.
However, many of the display shelves were empty, which disappointed Jian Ning.
It seems that something must have happened to this sect back then, which is why they emptied this treasure vault themselves.
Otherwise, how could it be so clean? Only a few scattered, low-grade swords and knives hang on the walls. In another corner, some boxes are scattered about.
There are also some large stones that are difficult to move.
Could it have been burgled? Jian Ning persisted, continuing deeper inside. In a box tucked away in an inconspicuous corner, she found the array plate and array flags needed for setting up the formation.
These items are probably not considered treasures within the sect, which is why they're so carelessly scattered in the box. However, they should be enough to set up a protective array for the mountain.
A map suddenly appeared in his mind. He stopped and looked at it carefully, only to realize that the treasure vault outside was just a cover.
The truly good stuff is all in the underground chambers.
Following the location on the map, Jian Ning found the mechanism. After opening it, a tunnel large enough for one person to pass through was revealed from underground. Surprisingly, there was light underneath, not complete darkness.
Go down the stairs, and you'll see walls on both sides covered with glowing fluorite. These stones are much cheaper than luminous pearls.
When I went downstairs, I saw a stone door made of a single piece of gold crystal, without even a handle.
Jian Ning walked over and pushed it twice, but it wouldn't budge. There was no spiritual energy fluctuation either. It didn't seem to be controlled by an array. How could she open it? She was at a loss for words.
Suddenly, an idea struck him. He placed his hand on the stone door and slid it to the right. Sure enough, the door opened—it was a sliding door! The person who built the stone door was quite ingenious; no one in ancient times would have imagined that the door could move to the right.
They even used a modern door mounting track method, which is truly amazing.
As soon as the door opened, Jian Ning couldn't help but gasp at what she saw inside. Within clusters of protective barriers were mostly rare and precious materials, as well as celestial artifacts radiating multicolored light.
Even the Earth Spirit Pearl that Xiao Wuyu wanted was here; there were two of them, both shining with a thick, earthy-yellow light.
Jian Ning walked over, opened the restriction, and took out only one.
These treasures now belong solely to her. She'll have to take back the Earth Spirit Orb after using it; otherwise, she'll lose out.
She picked up a magical sword and looked at it twice. Even if she took it out now, she couldn't use it because she only had spiritual power in her body, not immortal energy.
It's not as comfortable to use as the Ruoshui Sword in my hand.
He closed the door again and quickly walked out. He didn't rush out, but went straight to the spirit stone mine.
Try to dig up as many spirit stones as possible today, preferably the highest grade ones. That way, she won't have to come here to do hard labor.
Unexpectedly, as soon as she descended into the spirit stone mine she had dug the day before, she heard a deep roar above her. Looking up, she saw a huge golden bear, its body radiating golden light, standing at the entrance of the cave, staring at her with furious eyes.
