Chapter 126 Trip
However, Jiaojue did not give them a chance to waver. He reached out with one claw, retrieved the storage ring, and smiled with narrowed eyes: "This is a gift that Canglan God Lord gave me when I paid my respects to him. It is not for you."
I heard Ji Rong say that the Canglan Divine Lord has his own set of management methods and does not restrict the freedom of his subordinate races. Would you like to go and take a look?
"Yes, of course we'll go!" the elders of the lich race exclaimed excitedly.
At Ying Jiaojue's request, the Lich lineage selected the most handsome elders, Miao Wu and Wu Fu, to go to the Canglan Mountains.
He then selected ten disciples who looked harmonious and didn't resemble liches at all to go out and broaden their horizons.
Among them were Aqi, who successfully degenerated into a fish during the tempering process, and Anan, who degenerated into something resembling a viper.
Because of their striking appearance, the ancient shaman lineage only lost the daughter of the shaman, Amyo, and the thin A'xiao.
Once the person has been chosen, it is time to prepare their travel attire.
Jiaojue went to Xifeng Island and unceremoniously asked Ji Rong for fabric.
However, Ji Rong and Ji Zhuang hadn't even had a chance to enjoy this excellent material, so naturally they were reluctant to give it away.
Before Jiao Jue's anger had subsided, he immediately transformed into a dragon, extended his claws, and lifted Ji Rong upside down.
He squinted and grinned sinisterly, "Do you want me to shake you up and make you reveal your storage ring, or do you take it out and give it to me yourself?"
As Ji Rong was being held upside down, she immediately recalled the time when she was chained to a tree by Jiao Jue and unable to move.
She cried out, “You damned old scoundrel, I only got this little bit of stuff and you’re already trying to rob me? Have you no shame?”
Jiao Jue knew that he could not win an argument with Ji Rong.
He gritted his teeth as he said, "What face do I have left? My face was already gone when I bowed to the feet of the Canglan God because of you three idiots."
"Dead bird, are you going to give it to me or not? If you don't, I'm taking it." As he spoke, he grabbed Ji Rong's foot and began to shake.
Seeing that Jiao Jue was serious, Ji Rong hurriedly shouted, "Here, here! Brother Jinlong, put me down quickly, you've shaken up the spirit grains I ate this morning."
If Ji Rong hadn't mentioned it, Jiao Jue wouldn't have remembered that Ji Rong had obtained many top-grade spiritual grains from this place.
So, in addition to the full amount of cloth, Jiao Jue also took away five loads of top-grade spirit grain.
In his words, when traveling, one must be glamorous and presentable, and the food must be exquisite, so as to maintain the dignity of a true dragon.
Ji Rong, who had been robbed, immediately sat down on the ground and started crying.
But it's not over yet.
A short while later, Jiao Jue returned. He pointed at Ji Rong and Ji Zhuang and said, "You two come with me to make clothes!"
Upon hearing this, Ji Rong immediately flapped her wings heavily to the sides and shouted at Jiao Jue, "I can't make clothes! I can't!"
Jiaojue extended its claws again, lifted Ji Rong upside down, and said, "Do you understand now?"
Ji Rong nodded with tears in her eyes.
Upon arriving at Huofeng Island, Ji Rong saw Jiao Jue pointing at the spirit silk that had just been stolen from her, asking her and her brother to make clothes for the witch clan members who were about to leave. Her heart ached even more.
She stopped her brother Ji Zhuang, who was already measuring the size, and said to Jiao Jue while holding the silkworm silk, "Brother Jinlong, neither my brother nor I have worn this spirit silk, and you're asking us to make it for the witch? It's really too disheartening for a bird."
Jiaojue said disdainfully, "Why are you wearing clothes when you're covered in feathers?"
"Do you want to wear it? If you do, I'll pluck all the fur off this coat for you, so you can wear it as much as you want."
Ji Rong glanced to the side, gesturing for Jiao Jue to look behind her, and said, "They still have scales and skin, wouldn't it be a waste to wear them?"
Jiaojue thought about it and realized that was indeed the case.
However, when traveling, the lich clan members, with their feathers not fully grown and their scales not complete, certainly cannot follow behind him in their current tattered clothes.
He then said, "Use this silkworm silk to make two sets each for the shaman and the sorcerer, and use spirit hemp silk to make two sets for the rest of them."
Upon hearing this, Ji Rong immediately changed the fabric. Feeling that she had at least salvaged some of the loss, she calmed down and began weaving with her brother.
Weaving cloth for fourteen people is especially time-consuming. Ji Rong got bored after weaving for a while and called out to Ji Zhuang, "Brother, I'm so sleepy, I don't want to weave anymore."
Ji Zhuang looked up at his younger sister, who had grown up completely, and replied, "But if we don't finish weaving, Brother Jinlong will hang us both up."
Upon hearing this, Ji Rong slumped her head and continued weaving listlessly, when suddenly she transformed into a celestial being.
Looking at her fair and nimble hands, Ji Rong laughed heartily and continued knitting.
After weaving for half a day, Ji Rong still felt it was too slow, so she focused her mind on her spiritual platform, searching for a way to speed things up.
The "Phoenix True Explanation," which hadn't been used for a long time, came to mind, and Ji Rong found a technique called "Weaving Method" in it.
However, Ji Rong did not have a particular preference for weaving, so she continued to search in her mind and found an auxiliary technique called "Multi-Phase Technique" that could be used to enhance the power of the Dharma Body.
Ji Rong read through the incantation and thought to herself, "This must have been created by a phoenix that loves to show off."
This technique has no qualification requirements for the user. Moreover, using this technique can combine the cultivator's celestial body with their own body to create the desired appearance, and golden spiritual light will also appear.
Therefore, after using this technique, one will resemble a born deity, but the drawback of this technique is that it consumes a great deal of spiritual energy.
The incantation wasn't complicated, and Ji Rong managed to memorize it after a few stumbling attempts.
Then she maintained her celestial form, her hands forming a lotus shape, her index and middle fingers joined together;
The wings on her bird's body gradually appeared from under her ribs.
Ji Rong looked at herself with two hands and two claws, and was extremely satisfied.
After familiarizing herself with the flow of spiritual energy in this form, she excitedly called out to her brother, Ji Zhuang, "Brother, look how beautiful this 'Multi-Form Technique' is! Do you want to learn it?"
Ji Zhuang stopped holding the silk thread in his claws and circled around Ji Rong once.
Seeing that Ji Rong's face was now shimmering with golden light,
Shining brightly, like a god.
He honestly replied, "I want to learn it, but does it require a lot of spiritual energy?"
"It consumes spiritual energy."
Ji Rong looked inward at her spiritual platform and saw that the spiritual lake within her body was rapidly evaporating and transferring into her meridians to maintain her external Dharma form.
"Then I'll learn after I finish weaving," Ji Zhuang said, returning to his original position to continue weaving.
Ji Rong also waved her hands and claws and began to weave.
At first, she was clumsy and her claws kept snagging the thread, making her weave slowly. But after a day, Ji Rong became proficient.
However, maintaining the celestial form for a long time consumes a lot of spiritual energy. After Ji Rong finished weaving her part, she flew to the pool on Wangfeng Island to replenish the reserves of the spiritual lake in her body.
While recovering her spiritual energy, Ji Rong reviewed the "Phoenix True Explanation" in her mind, wanting to choose a suitable magic technique for Ji Zhuang.
The "Phoenix True Explanation" once caused Ji Rong, whose cultivation level was low, to have a splitting headache. Now that she has become a Venerable, she thinks that this time it will not cause her the same headache as before.
Ji Rong began browsing with a feeling of trepidation.
This book has countless volumes; the first volume tells the story of the Phoenix Clan's origins and history.
Volume Two describes the various innate skills of the Phoenix Clan below the Venerable Realm, and also records many techniques.
Ji Rong recognized every single inscription in the third volume, but forgot them when put together.
In the fourth volume, Ji Rong could only vaguely see a shadow; the inscriptions inside were connected like a pool of water, making them impossible for Ji Rong to see clearly.
Ji Rong only read a few lines from the first volume in her mind before starting to read the second volume.
There's no other reason than that this first volume, like the shamanic rituals of the ancient witchcraft lineage, is entirely dedicated to praising the great achievements of the Heavenly Phoenixes of each generation.
Ji Rong felt that instead of spending time trying to understand these ancestors who had nothing left, it would be more practical to learn some easy-to-use magical techniques.
