Chapter 131 Returning Home for Retreat
The lively welcoming activities ended only when the Golden Crow set in the west.
Countless onlookers lingered for nearly an hour before reluctantly dispersing under the command of the F government.
The 5,000 survivors stayed in the square temporarily under the government's arrangement.
They have nowhere to go, and even if their relatives are still alive, they cannot contact them for the time being and can only wait for arrangements by the country.
Moreover, the F government has always been concerned about their safety, always believing that they are a group of super bombs that could explode at any time and destroy the new order that has been established with great difficulty. So until their safety is confirmed, these people can only stay here.
Although this result is not perfect, compared to living in fear all day long in the fallen city, nowadays, there is no worry about food and drink, which is a pleasure.
Only after experiencing the despair of doomsday firsthand did they realize how much they valued cherishing everything they had.
And that’s all the help that growing flowers can provide them.
After all, it is a foreign country, and it is not easy to interfere in the administrative affairs of other countries. Moreover, even if we force Country F to take a tough stance, the survivors may face an even more embarrassing fate after the flower growers leave.
So after several big guys who came from the country to assist completed the handover, the group of people who were planting flowers boarded the flying boat and slowly flew away from Country F with the farewell of all the survivors.
Only after he could no longer see the crowd below waving their arms to see him off did Chu Yi order the flying boat to speed up.
We have wasted a lot of time today. After this battle, everyone has gained countless insights that urgently need to be absorbed in seclusion. But things kept coming one after another and there was no time for retreat.
Now that everything has been accomplished with the help of the country, it is time for them to concentrate on their own cultivation.
But it has been delayed for some time, so there is no need to rush.
On the speeding flying boat, all the students of the elite class, including other staff, stayed on the deck.
Everyone was sitting around a long table, drinking.
Originally, the people from Country F wanted to invite them to stay and attend the celebratory dinner. After all, growing flowers meant they were their benefactors.
However, this proposal was decisively rejected by Chu Yi and others. No one was too lazy to flatter the authorities. For some people, speaking one sentence to a politician is better than talking to him for a long time.
A dinner party will definitely make you physically and mentally exhausted, so why bother?
After everyone expressed their wishes clearly, Meng Pu, the Minister of Foreign Affairs of China, came forward and politely rejected it.
Then, several staff members who came from afar to help, set out on the journey back home with Chu Yi and the others on empty stomachs.
Having received help from others, how could Chu Yi and his friends let them go hungry? After a few people discussed it, they simply held a dinner on the flying boat, using ingredients that were usually supplied to their elite class. It was both delicious and good, and was definitely the highest standard of treatment.
At first, Chu Yi planned to go back through the hut to get food, because the flying boat was temporarily requested from Dragon King, and other supplies had not been prepared in time. Later she discovered that there were many high-quality spiritual ingredients in the storage room of the flying boat, which saved her a lot of trouble.
Chu Yi guessed that this should have been put in there by Long Jun in advance in case she might need it one day.
These vests always make sufficient preparations for her life.
After being silently moved for a while, Chu Yi called a few classmates who could cook to come in and help, as they could cook faster when they worked together.
So the final dinner was completed by the collaboration of Chu Yi, Gu Jiayan, Liu Jimeng and Shi Fan.
Among more than ten people, only they have better skills. Others either know nothing about it or have only mediocre skills, and at best they are not good enough to poison themselves, so it is better not to poison the taste buds of customers.
In order to save time, several people even used spiritual power to assist, and only then did they complete a large table of food in just over ten minutes.
Faced with the temptation of these top-quality ingredients, ordinary people without any cultivation could not resist at all. They were too lazy to even say some polite words and just focused on enjoying the food.
Their status is not too low, but it is still impossible to enjoy this level of food at any time.
Now that I have this rare opportunity, I naturally have to enjoy it. Not to mention improving one's spiritual roots, at least one can improve one's physical condition, allowing oneself to live longer and see more of today's rapidly changing world.
It fell before the new century, which is a regret for countless people.
Chu Yi also slowed down the speed of the flying boat appropriately so that everyone could stay for a while longer. After arriving at the flower planting area, they will go into seclusion to practice. Minister Meng Pu and others also have to go back to deal with the follow-up of this incident, so they will have little time to rest.
We are busy all the time. Occasionally taking a break from our busy schedule to enjoy some leisure time can also make us more energetic to face future challenges.
After the happy celebration time, Xunzhen College is just around the corner.
After dropping off the staff led by Meng Pu in the square, the flying boat carried Chu Yi and the others directly to the meditation room dedicated to the elite class.
The flying boat was suspended outside the meditation room floating in mid-air. After Chu Yi and everyone wished each other well, they entered the meditation room and began to retreat to sort out their insights from the battle.
After the barrier fell, Orange, who had not appeared in the outside world for a long time, emerged from the virtual space.
This time it was not as dissatisfied as last time and seemed to be in a very good mood.
Originally, before meeting the main god, it had always existed as a system elf in the dressing system. The usual way of getting along with Chu Yi is to communicate through radio waves in the brain, and it has never appeared in the outside world.
After the system was taken over by the Lord God, it had a physical body, and as a result, it actually had the idea of following Chu Yi in physical form all the time.
Chu Yi has always been quite pampered towards it, but there are some things that he really can't let go of. If Orange had not appeared when she first met Duan Shi, she could still make an excuse that it was a little pet given to her by her master.
Now it has been filed in the national archives, so how can Chu Yi release it? The most important thing is that Orange herself doesn't want to change her appearance and wants to follow her in her original appearance. Isn't this even more impossible?
Even if she could continue to use illusions as a cover, as more and more monks began to grow flowers, there was no guarantee that some of them would be gifted and see through her disguise.
By then, she won't be able to explain herself even if she opened a thousand mouths.
Fortunately, it seems that after this period of time, Orange has adapted to staying in the virtual world.
Chu Yi was in a very good mood and hugged the soft furry elf for a while before letting it go and preparing to carry out his plan.
Orange stayed on the soft bed and looked curiously at Chu Yi who called the Dragon King over. "Lingdang, do you have any new plans?"
Greeting the majestic and kind Dragon Lord with a smile, Chu Yi expressed his thoughts, "It's like this, everyone has gained a lot of combat power this time. If there is another opportunity, everyone will definitely be able to break through to a new level."
"The realm of the flower-growing cultivators is still too low, so I plan to give everyone a cheat to help them grow faster and allow everyone to make a breakthrough."
Long Jun never had any objection to Chu Yi's plan. No matter what she planned to do, the vests would only achieve it for her unconditionally. So after hearing the plan, he remained calm and waited for the next instructions.
Orange was a little confused, and tilted his head in confusion, "But why? Lingling, didn't you say before that the flower-growing plug-in was big enough? You should let everyone let nature take its course. Why did you suddenly change your mind now?"
"yes."
Chu Yi didn't think there was anything wrong with his frequent changes of orders. As for plans, they need to be adjusted at any time as developments occur.
"Because I will speed up the progress next. There are still so many races that have not fully awakened, and the speed of cosmic integration is getting faster and faster. Mechanical Ji Julia has been hiding in near-Earth space for detection. Recently, she has been able to connect to the signals of alien civilizations intermittently."
"Although she has provided cover for Blue Planet, alien civilizations should not be able to discover us in the short term, but we cannot rely on luck. Who knows if a spaceship will suddenly jump to the vicinity of Blue Planet? In this case, all our covert methods will be useless."
"Eh? So fast?"
Orange was surprised, because he had always thought that Blue Star still had at least a few hundred years of development time.
But according to Chu Yi, it feels like it will take less than 100 years before Blue Planet officially comes into contact with alien civilizations.
If this is true, then we really need to act quickly.
After learning about the urgency of the situation, Juzi no longer expressed doubts about Chu Yi's plan. It began to ask about her specific plans.
"So, Bell, how are you going to modify the plan?"
"First, I'd like to trouble Master to mix some immortal energy into the spiritual energy in the meditation room to stimulate everyone and promote their advancement. The immortal energy will not cause any harm to them. Instead, it can purify the spiritual power in their bodies. It is the most suitable method."
After receiving the specific instructions, Long Jun took action without saying a word. Based on the limit of what others could bear, he slowly and covertly injected a trace of spiritual energy into the spiritual vein connected to the meditation room.
Even if it is the immortal energy that has been refined by the Dragon King, it cannot be smoothly absorbed by a cultivator in the fusion stage. For the sake of everyone's tendons and veins, we can only mix the immortal energy into the spiritual veins to dilute it first, and then everyone can absorb the mixed energy of the two to be safe.
After estimating that he had reached the absorption limit, the Dragon King stopped the input.
After completing the task, he did not leave in a hurry, but stayed in the meditation room and listened quietly to Chu Yi continue to explain her next plan.
"According to my estimation, Brother Yan, Jimeng, Sister Lan, and Ajiang should be able to successfully break through the Jindan stage."
"Why is there Jiang Yongyan?"
Gu Jiayan has incredible talent and comprehension, so there is no doubt that he can break through to the Jindan stage this time. Liu Jimeng and Jia Lan have remained in the late stage of fusion for a long time. They have accumulated enough experience, so it is understandable that they can break through it.
But what does Jiang Yongyan rely on?
It remembered that it had only been a month since he broke through to the late stage of fusion. Why was Chu Yi so sure that he could break through again?
"Although his talent is not as good as Xiaoyi and Gu Jiayan, he has good luck." It was not Chu Yi but Long Jun who spoke up to explain for Orange.
In these aspects, the vests who are the big guys have the most say.
"Just like the opportunity Xiaoyi gave them this time, other people might only be able to break through one realm in a normal way. If the accumulation is not enough, they might not be able to break through any realm at all. But if it is someone with extremely good luck, he will definitely absorb energy far beyond his limit."
"Won't he explode and die?" Orange was very worried.
Every student in Xunzhen Academy is Chu Yi's treasure and the backbone of the future flower planting industry. It would be painful to lose any one of them. Jiang Yongyan was very talented. If he died, it would be a huge loss.
Then why are Long Jun and Chu Yi still so calm? Shouldn't there be an energy transfer ban against him?
“That’s why luck is so important.”
Chu Yi smiled and rubbed Orange's furry head.
"If other people encounter such a situation, they will definitely explode and die. But if it is A Jiang, he will turn the danger into safety and turn this crisis into his own strength. In the end, not only will he not be injured, but he will also break through to a new level."
"Wow~" Orange couldn't help but exclaimed, "It feels like cheating."
"Yes, just like the protagonist in the novel, no matter what happens, it can be transformed into his own opportunity." Chu Yi couldn't help but sigh, "So sometimes luck is more important than talent. Even if you are a waste of five spiritual roots, you still have a chance to counterattack if you have luck."
"I know this! It's the level-up novels that you used to read, Lingdang. The plots are all like this. The protagonist is useless at the beginning, but then he always gets a lot of opportunities and slowly becomes the most powerful."
There was a time when Chu Yi loved reading novels. After completing the tasks I set for myself every day, I would read novels to pass the time, and even Orange, who lived in the system, also read a lot.
Now that she mentioned it, Orange recalled the plot of the novel, which was exactly the same.
"...It's okay to say that." Chu Yi was embarrassed for a moment, and answered calmly.
Long Jun was still beside me, and I felt so ashamed when my little hobby was suddenly exposed. It's like being caught doing something bad by an elder.
In order to ease the awkward situation, Chu Yi quickly brought the subject back to the main topic. "So Jiang will be fine."
"Okay." Juzi didn't notice anything and naturally started to ask other questions, "Then Lingdang, are you going to break through to the Nascent Soul stage this time?"
If he breaks through the Nascent Soul stage, then he will explode the world again. Unless she makes some big news somewhere else, she will have to be a stay-at-home for a long time.
The last time Chu Yi ran out to mess with the mermaid, it was because he couldn't stand the enthusiasm of his fans.
Sure enough, Chu Yi also remembered the fanatical atmosphere in the academy last time. She shook her head with lingering fear, "Not this time. I will push my realm to the late Jindan stage, but I will not break through the Yuanying stage for the time being."
No matter what, breaking through from a rookie to a Nascent Soul cultivator in about a year, even if he was a disciple of Taiyi Zhenxian and had extraordinary talent, still felt too unreal.
She also didn't want to draw too much attention.
Attracting too much attention to herself is not a good thing for her.
Although she has attracted attention nowadays, there are more powerful people in other races, and she is not the most amazing one.
This situation is just right.
"Didn't you say you had other plans? What else is Lingling going to do? Are you going to be in seclusion for a long time again?" Orange got a little excited when it came to seclusion, because it meant that it could turn into a physical form and stay with her again.
Although it’s okay to just stay in the virtual space, it’s better to be together physically all the time.
Unfortunately, it can't go as it wishes this time.
Chu Yi shook his head again, denying Juzi's guess, "No, I probably won't go into battle myself in the future. After exchanging the suits, I will just give them the instructions. The specific actions are up to them to decide, and I won't interfere often."
After hearing this, Orange and Long Jun showed two attitudes.
Orange was very surprised, because he remembered that Chu Yi used to like to go out and play wearing a vest. Even if Chu Yi seemed to have realized something last time and his attitude towards the vests changed, such a change shouldn't have happened, right?
As Chu Yi's pseudonym, Long Jun naturally understands her attitude and thoughts better.
Chu Yi now regards them more as close family members rather than tools that can be replaced and sacrificed at any time. She will give more trust, completely let go and let them assist her, and will also enjoy everyone's care with peace of mind.
And even if she didn't state it directly, everyone knew that from now on, the incident with Poseidon would never happen again.
She would no longer sacrifice them to help Blue Star develop.
Chu Yi's thoughts have completely changed.
At worst, we can just not release the pseudonym to occupy the throne, and leave the opportunity there. If those with abilities in the West are interested, they will naturally fight for it. She has to consider everything for them, so even if such a god comes, it will be of no use.
As for the Poseidon vest, Chu Yi will keep it safely and see if there is a chance to rescue him in the future.
Because the vests are activated by the energy granted by the main god, when the divinity that is the source of energy in the setting is taken away, the vest will naturally lose its power like a real god. The ability to maintain its existence depends on the characteristics of the system, otherwise the moment the godhood was taken out, the sea god would have dissipated.
With a sigh in his heart, Chu Yi pushed these things back deep into his heart.
She put on a relaxed smile and explained to the puzzled Orange, "It's not as exciting to go out and do things by yourself as it is to join everyone in the fun. And you can also hear everyone's praises and admiration for the vests, isn't it more exciting than going out on your own?"
“?”Is that so?
Orange felt that something was not quite right, but it also seemed to be okay. This was indeed the logic that Chu Yi would come up with. Ever since she became acquainted with Shi Fan and Gu Qianwen, she has become more and more fond of gossip.
Fortunately, Orange is not the kind of person who would get to the bottom of a problem. Once it feels that the logic is sound, it will simply put the issue behind it.
It has been a long time since it had such an open communication with Chu Yi, and it wanted to chat for a while longer today.
Anyway, it is not so easy for others to break through. Even with the help of immortal energy, they still need to master it on their own, which takes a lot of time.
Chu Yi himself didn't need to rush, he could just inject the spiritual energy directly, which would only take a few minutes.
"So what are your specific plans, Bell?"
Orange jumped from her soft body into Chu Yi's arms and rubbed her cheek obediently, "Now all countries have entered a period of stable development, the first batch of ability users have basically passed the initial stage, and their combat power has begun to slowly increase. Is there anything else that needs to be done?"
Seeing that Orange was so interested in talking, Chu Yi simply summoned all of Ruanmianmian and invited Long Jun to join them. The three of them sat down and chatted comfortably.
First put the orange on a higher cloud, then Chu Yi took the drink handed to him by Long Jun and took a sip slowly.
This is not an ordinary spiritual drink, but a more advanced drink rich in spiritual energy. She had to accumulate energy anyway. With her Hunyuan body that could absorb any energy, she could upgrade in minutes by drinking some fairy drink.
After taking a few sips of the drink, she grabbed the various fruits and nuts snacks on the Yun Duo coffee table and started eating them.
This is also a more advanced fairy fruit. It grows in the Dragon King's territory, absorbing the purest fairy energy. If eaten by a mortal, one pill would have the legendary effect of turning bones into flesh.
Even after being cured, it is not certain whether one can still preserve one's body.
After enjoying it for a while, Chu Yi continued to explain his plan for the next issue.
"There are still many things that need to be advanced." How could there be nothing to do? She counted on her fingers, "There are many species that have not yet appeared, such as the giant dragons of the West, bone dragons, werewolves, witches, angels, giants, goblins, dwarves, etc."
"There are still species that have not appeared in the East."
While talking, Chu Yi picked up a juicy peach and started eating. While eating, he continued vaguely, "There are mermaids, dragons, nine-tailed foxes, phoenixes, gluttons, chaos, etc., which are similar to mermaids. There is no news at all."
"But dragons, phoenixes, and nine-tailed foxes can all be classified as demons, right?"
The orange is also eating snacks. It specifically chooses smaller nuts because they are easier to eat.
As for the energy issue, don't worry about it.
After all, it is part of the system. Although it has no actual ability, it will not be blown up by energy. The absorbed energy will eventually turn into nutrients for the system, nourishing the entire system.
Wait, is there a bug here?
No matter what, it is a living elf in the setting anyway, so it may overeat and needs to control its diet.
After swallowing the nut in its mouth with a "crunch, crunch" sound, it continued, "The flower-growing demon tribe is also developing steadily now. Do we still need help? Leave it alone. When the time comes, they will show up, right?"
"Why not?" Chu Yi said that Juzi didn't think enough. "Divine beasts like dragons and phoenixes are different from ordinary monsters. They are basically born and raised naturally. It's rare for lower-level monsters to successfully evolve."
"Even if I succeed, no matter my bloodline, talent or strength, I can't compare to the natural monsters. Moreover, it takes too much time and the failure rate is also very high. I don't want to keep waiting."
It is like a carp leaping over the Dragon Gate. From ancient times to the present, the number of carps that have successfully transformed into dragons is less than a hand.
With such a success rate, if there were no external threats, Chu Yi could still wait leisurely. She is in a hurry to develop now and is too lazy to wait.
"Besides, the future of Blue Planet is to develop into an interstellar space. This population is not enough to fill a planet. I will definitely have to recruit more big guys. Then, one race will occupy one planet. They can help each other and not interfere with each other. It's perfect."
Snapping his fingers happily, Chu Yi couldn't help but imagine the wonderful scenes in the future.
The diverse civilization of the Blue Planet will surely shock the eyes of all alien civilizations.
